What’s on our mind - General credit market news

• The long-awaited ECB announcement on Thursday took most of thefocus last week. Despite a large QE programme being expected, theECB positively surprised the market, announcing an open-endedprogramme of monthly purchases of EUR60bn. Very importantly, theECB will continue asset purchases until it sees an improvement inthe outlook for inflation.

• The larger-than-expected QE programme gave further fuel to thealready tight credit markets, with the European IG index, iTraxx main,tightening 6bp week on week and the HY index, iTraxx crossover,tightening some 27bp week on week.

• However, that was last week’s news. This week has started off ontotally different ground with the Greek election. The anti-austerityparty Syriza got 149 out of 300 seats in the parliament and hasrepeated its claim of a writedown of the nation’s debt and an end toausterity. Unsurprisingly, EU leaders and the IMF’s ChristineLagarde have already refused any special treatment for Greece butwe still expect this to draw some market intention over the comingperiod.

Buy SEB AT1 CALL 2020 – sell Nordea AT1 CALL 2024

• Although Nordea (AA-/NO,Aa3/NO, AA-/S) is the largestand most diversified Nordicbank, which has earned it a one-notch higher rating than, forexample, SEB (A+/NO, A1/NO,A+/PO), we think thediversification could be adisadvantage over the comingperiod.

• We are increasingly worriedabout the negative spilloverfrom the oil price plunge on theNorwegian economy, which intandem with a contractingFinnish economy and theRussian geopolitical situationcould end up hitting Nordeafrom several sides. In thisperspective, SEB is a more pureplay on Sweden, the most stableNordic country at present.

• In our view, the main risk factoris missed coupon paymentsshould one or both banks comeunder financial distress.

• We have an ‘Overweight’ ratingon SEB and an ‘Underweight’ onNordea and do not believe a14bp pickup for a four-yearmaturity extension isworthwhile.

Buy Securitas 2021 – sell Securitas 2017

• Securitas is rated BBB/Stableoutlook by S&P. Despite this,the Securitas 2021 bondtrades wider than the BBB- curve ,while the Securitas2017 bond trades at the BBB+curve. We recommend buyingthe Securitas 2021 versus theSecuritas 2017. Pickup 57bp(Z-spread) for four-yearmaturity extension.

• The Stable outlook reflectsS&P’s view that Securitas willcontinue to benefit from robustfree operating cash flow as aresult of limited capex. At thesame time, S&P believes thatongoing cost savings will helpmaintain operating margins attheir current levels.

• In our view, a risk factor for the2021 bond could be increasedM&A spending, aiming toincrease Securitas’s high-techsecurity solution exposure.However, Securitas has statedseveral times that it iscommitted to a ‘solidinvestment grade rating’.

• We have an overallMarketweight recommendationon Securitas.

Sector spread Switch from NDA AT1 to SEBAT1

We have an ‘Overweight’ rating on SEB and an ‘Underweight’ rating on Nordea and do not believe in a14bp pickup for a four-year maturity extension.

Curve spread Swith from SECUSS '17 to SECUSS '21

The Securitas 2021 bond trades wider than the BBB- curve, while the Securitas 2017 bond trades at the BBB+ curve. We recommend buying the Securitas 2021.

Outright NYNAAB '18 NYNAAB '18's, which we see as 'B+' indicatively tradefar too cheaply relative to the industrial 'B+' curve.

Outright SASSS '17 We believe the SAS 2017 offers an attractiveabsolute value – supported by adequate liquidity.

Curve spread Switch from ATCOA '19 to ATCOA '23

The Atlas Copco 2019s trade tighter than the average‘A+’ rated EUR corporate. Go out the curve and buy the'23s.

Outright VLVY' 17 or VLVY'19 We see the VLVY cash curve as attractively valuedand an (uncertain) downgrade is more than priced intospreads.

Outright COMHSS '19 COMHSS '19 looks cheap compared with other ratedand unrated issues in SEK. Trades like a B+ but isofficially rated BB-.

Curve spread Switch from SKFBSS '19 to SKFBSS '18 or '20

SKF’s 2020s and 2018s offer attractive value relative to the rating (‘BBB+’ NO and ‘Baa1’ S) Downgrade seemspriced in already.

Company news from the past week Name News Implication

YIT

YIT: Streamlines Russian units (finally) and says that its Q4 housing starts in Russia decreased 'significantly'. We estimate Q4 starts in Russia were 850, down 55% y/y and 10% versus Q3 - in line comment. Also, completion of several large projects has been expected but timing has been uncertain (depends on authorities' paper work). This is likely to trigger several EURm positiveIFRIC 15 items on EBIT but have limited cash flow impact as the majority of these apartments have been sold and are visible in cash flow. While boosting IFRS earnings in Q4, focus and guidance are based on non-IFRS numbers (i.e. percentage of completion). Summary: Small positive but does not take away H1 sales risks in Russia. Still, banks probably will not 'force' share issue provided that YIT lowers housing starts and continues to lower net debt. We have a 'B' shadow rating with a negative outlook on YIT.

Credit positive

Sparebank 1 Nord-Norge e

Sparebank 1 Nord-Norge (Hold, no outstanding EUR benchmark issues): books a NOK300m loss due to its NOK615m total exposure to Russia via two ownership stakes of 10% in Tavrichesky Bank (TB) and 75% in North-West1 Alliance Bank (NW1). The reason for the writedown is mainly liquidity issues in TB, while NW1 is funded more or less solely by NONGNO. NONGNO has tried to unwind its Russian exposure for a while and will continue to do so going forward but the current conditions are not favourable in this regard. No negative read-through to other Norwegian banks as NONGNO is the only one with such exposure but Nordea might come into focus today due to its Russian subsidiary.

Credit negative

UPM

UPM will close 675,000 tonnes of paper capacity by end-March 2015, having concluded employee negotiations. The paper mills in question represent around 2% of total European paper capacity and the closure is part of UPM's EUR150m cost-cutting programme announced last year,i.e. this capacity closure is not an addition to what was already planned. Continued capacityclosures are needed to stave off pricing pressure on the European graphic paper market and UPMhas been at the forefront of this for a while to its own benefit but also that of other Europeanplayers in the industry such as Stora Enso and Metsä Board, with the latter recently announcingthat it plans to exit the paper business fully. We have a Marketweight recommendation on UPM.

SSAB

SSAB has issued a preliminary estimate for 4Q operating profit at SEK100-150m, excluding non-recurring items. This is somewhat below the market estimate of SEK250m. SSAB plans to write down certain book values related to the Rautaruukki aquisition, mainly in Fortaco and Ruukki construction. Overall, this will mean a decrease in goodwill from the acquisition of around SEK0.3bn. The writedowns have no impact on cash flow but have a negative impact of around 2pp on SSAB’s debt/equity ratio, which was 53% as at 30 September 2014. On the positive side, SSAB is making good progress on its synergies with around SEK300m acheived so far. Full synergies are now expected to arrive one year earlier in the second half of 2016. The original goal was to achieve annual cost synergies of SEK1.4bn within three years, with SEK350m of this in 2015.

Credit neutral

Color Group

In December 2012, Color Line AS received a writ filed by Bastø Fosen AS claiming damages of up to NOK992m for loss of profits. The grounds for the claim are that Bastø Fosen failed in an attempt to launch a ferry route between Sandefjord and Strømstad in 1998 as a consequence of an alleged tortuous breach of competition law on the part of Color Line AS. Color Line AS rejected the claim. The Oslo District Court ruled that the question of whether the limitation period for filing claims had expired should be heard in separate proceedings. The District Court ruled in June 2013 that any claim would be time-barred and accordingly ruled in favour of Color Line AS. Bastø Fosen appealed the ruling to the Borgarting Court of Appeal. At end-September 2014, the court ruled that Bastø Fosens claims brought forward were obsolete and without merit, which is why Color Line won the appeal case. All legal costs were imposed on Bastø Fosen AS. At end-October 2014 Bastø Fosen AS decided to appeal the ruling once more to the high court. Following today´s news it is evidenced that the High Court has rejected to accept appeal case. Although expected, we find this news positive for Color Group bonds since it finally rules out any significant cash leakage from this front. In addition to the described and concluded case above, Color Group has received a writ from Nye Kystlink AS with a claim for damages of up to approx. NOK1.3bn. The writ follows a conciliation complaint filed in December 2012. The grounds for the claim for damages are direct losses and loss of profits and capital returns relating to Nye Kystlink’s legal predecessor’s of a ferry business between the ports of Brevik and Hirtshals and Langesund and Strømstad in the period 2004-2008. Having assessed the various writs the Board of Color Group so far has not found it necessary to make any provisions in the accounts for the Kystlinnk claims (at least according to our knowledge). Presumably since they expect this second case is similar to the Bastø Fosen case above.

Company news from the past week

Store Enso

Stora Enso has taken a writedown on assets in its graphic paper production business. Some are related to the recent sell off of the Uetersen paper mill in Germany. As the writedown will not affect cash flow, this is credit neutral and not unexpected given the ongoing weakness in the graphic paper market. We have a Marketweight recommendation on Stora Enso.

Credit neutral

Metso

Metso announced the sale of its process automation unit (PAS) as previously communicated when the strategy was updated in late 2014. The PAS business was left behind following the divestment of the Pulp, Paper & Power business in 2013. The value of the transaction is EUR340 and Metso's net debt should be significantly reduced following the completion of the transaction, which will be sometime in Q2. Pro forma we expect to see adjusted net debt to decline from 1.7x currently to around 1.1-1.3x. Metso's annual EBITDA will decline by around EUR40m pro forma. Overall, this is postive at least short term. A leverage lower than 1.5x is not really needed to maintain a 'BBB' rating and as such one could fear that Metso's will use the proceed for M&A or addtional shareholder payouts. Metso's mainshareholder is Cevian, with 13.8% of the capital. We have a Marketweight recommendation on Metso.
