What’s on our minds
- General credit market news
• Attention was diverted last week from Deutsche Bank to the
ECB’s next steps. Following a Bloomberg news story citing
unnamed officials outlining a tapering strategy to end bond
purchases by the ECB, the generic 10-year German
government bond yield increased by 14bp from a week earlier
to the close yield on Friday of 0.054%.
• The ECB’s asset purchase programmes are scheduled to end in
March 2017 and ECB-watchers are looking towards the
central bank’s December meeting for a decision on how (and if)
the purchase programme will be extended.
• Over the weekend, there was no notable development in the
Deutsche Bank situation as no agreement had been reached
between the US Department of Justice and Deutsche Bank
management.
•
iTraxx indices range-traded during the week and ended the
week marginally wider, except for the Senior Financials, which
tightened 3bp w/w.
• Last week we saw EUR5.6bn in non-financial EUR deals, circa
NOK2.5bn in NOK and SEK2.3bn of non-financial volume in the
SEK market, of which one-third was high-yield.

CSPP Update
Purchases of EUR2.2bn in the week ending 7 October
•
•
The weekly purchase volume was roughly in line with recent weeks’ and the monthly run-rate is
still above EUR10bn/month. In total the ECB has now purchased bonds under the CSPP totalling
EUR32bn.
In relation to total purchased volume, the average holding of each ISIN (dividing the total
purchased amount by the number of ISINs held) has continued to rise to a staggering EUR50m
per ISIN., compared with an average issue size of EUR725m for the ISINs purchased so far.
•
See table on the right for newly purchased issues. Some of the new issues were also new issues in
the market, indicating a number of primary participations by the ECB.
•
In terms of the split of purchases so far, bonds from German issuers represent a much larger
share of purchased issues than the ECB’s benchmark would imply, based on outstanding market
volumes. Over time, the purchases should reflect the market benchmark.

Buy NOKIA 2019 USD, trading at wide margin to Nokia 2019 EUR
Published on 23 May 2016
Low credit risk – Buy Akelius 2020s in EUR
- Attractive pricing considering our expectation of a bond upgrade (published 15 September)
Key arguments for the trade
In coming quarters, we expect Akelius interest costs to continue
falling, as the company refinances maturing debt with new cheaper
financing. This, together with a forthcoming asset sale, suggests
potential for some further improvement in credit metrics (end Q2
reported LTV: 47%; with S&P’s adjustments 53%).
•
We also expect Akelius’s secured LTV to decline gradually towards
its 25% target for 2018 (end-Q2 33%). In our view, this means that
at some stage S&P should remove its notching from Akelius’s bonds.
•
Considering the high likelihood of a ratings upgrade, we consider
Akelius 3.375% 2020s (currently rated BB+) in EUR to offer an
attractive pick-up relative to other European real estate names.
•

Looking at historical property prices, it appears residential property
prices normally decline much less than commercial property prices
during an economic downturn. At end June, Akelius unencumbered
assets to outstanding bonds and CPs was a high 5.0x.

Akelius has a strategy to focus on growth through investing in low-risk
residential properties that generate stable cash flow over time. The
company invests most of the free cash flow that it generates in
renovating and refurbishing the existing properties or reinvests it in new
properties.

Medium credit risk – Buy Victoria Park 2020s in SEK
- Building scale through organic growth and acquisitions (published 15 September)
Key arguments for the trade
We regard the outlook for the residential property market in Sweden as
positive, considering the recent population growth, a large shortage of
apartments and a strong urbanisation trend. Swedish residential
companies on average have a lower leverage than peers in the
commercial property segment.
•
Considering Victoria Park’s focus on the more stable residential market
and its long average debt maturity profile, we consider its bonds to be
attractively priced compared with sector peers such as D. Carnegie,
Heimstaden and Hemfosa.
•
As of end-June, Victoria Park reported a gross LTV (excluding preference
shares in debt) of 64% (net LTV 52%). Following recent transactions we
estimate a gross LTV of around 65%.
•

In mid-July, Victoria Park announced its largest acquisition to date,
totalling 1,900 apartments in Malmö and Karlskrona for a total price of
SEK1.8bn. Earlier this week the company made an equity issue, raising
SEK344m in new equity, which to us demonstrates its commitment to
its stipulated financial policy (Max LTV: 65%).

Company news from the past week (high yield/unrated)
Name
SSAB
PostNord
News
SSAB (MW): Bloomberg reported that the EU Commission has decided to impose temporary (6month) tariffs on imports of Chinese hot rolled coiled (HRC) steel to the EU of between 13.2-22.6%
and on plate of between 65.1-73.7%. HRC steel is SSAB's largest product in its European operations,
about 80-90% of volumes in Europe (so about two-thirds of steel business revenues). The duties on
Plate were higher than the market had expected, while the duties on HRC were slightly lower. HRC
prices have risen since the beginning of the year (from EUR320/t to EUR452/t on 7 October). Part of
the rise has been in anticipation of import duties from the EU, which has already led to reduced
imports from Asia (remember that duties can be applied to exporters retrospectively). Nonetheless,
this is positive as it will serve as a hand under European steel prices. Note that this will not impact the
stainless steel market (i.e. Outokumpu). We have a Marketweight recommendation on SSAB as we
believe its trades tight relative to the 'B+' implied industrial rating curve.
PostNord (MW): For the past couple of months, there has been significant media attention regarding
PostNord. In essence, the number of complaints about late and missing deliveries has risen
dramatically this year. Most of this is attributable to the significant restructuring that PostNord is
undertaking as mail volumes are falling. We believe the recent turmoil will make a chance of a nearterm IPO of PostNord even more remote, as politicians and the public demand increased focus on the
mail delivery service obligation, rather than cost efficiency or new ventures. This should increase the
importance of PostNord’s credit standing for the government. Unfortunately, reform of the postal
legislation in Sweden will be impeded. A report preceding legislation has recently suggested some
increased flexibility in e. g. delivery times, which is now increasingly unlikely, putting pressure on
PostNord’s earnings and cash flow. Looking ahead, a potential risk is that PostNord’s brand will be
impaired in the logistics and growing e-commerce businesses, impairing top-line as well. In the past
years, PostNord has managed to protect earnings despite volume decline and large capex, but we will
look out for signs in coming quarters that the current problems impact the business in a significant
way. PostNord’s SEK 2019 bonds are trading some 15bp wider than credit quality peers like Skanska
and Telia, which is fair given current uncertainty. We have a Marketweight recommendation on
PostNord.

Company news from the past week (high yield/unrated)
Name
News
SAS (B2/S) reported decent traffic numbers for September with a 7.6% increase in traffic on the back
of a 7% increase in capacity - leading to a slight increase in capacity utilisation to 77.6%. The weak
spot is a 8% currency-adjusted decline in average ticket prices. SAS stated that: ‘the overall
Scandinavian market capacity has increased resulting in intensive competition. This combined with
lower jet fuel prices has put pressure on the yield that has declined more than anticipated in 2016’.
SAS
We have seen the same trends from other carriers in recent months. SAS 2017 priced to call (call
@102.25). SAS Conv. 2019 looks attractively valued trading wider than the B curve and some
c.180bp pick-up to the NAS 19. However, this reflects a weaker operating model with no asset backing
left in SAS. Overall we see traffic numbers as credit neutral to SAS.
On 6 October, Victoria Park (Overweight) and Heimstaden (Marketweight) announced with Balder
(Marketweight) and the municipal property company in Malmö MKB that they plan to form a new joint
venture in relation to a development project called ‘Culture Casbah’ in the area of Rosengård in Malmö.
Rosengård is a troubled area but with a fairly central location in the city and the idea is to make the
area part of central Malmö by developing it further. Part of the project includes the construction of
Victoria Park, 200 new apartments, some 30 commercial facilities and a new 22-story tower. The new company will
Heimstaden and also acquire some 1650 existing apartments in the area. The project is still in a very early phase and
consequently there is no financial information available yet, but we assume that the participating
Balder
companies will put in their pro rata share of equity in the new company while the remaining part should
be debt-financed. Business-wise we regard the announcement as positive especially for Victoria Park
that is already present in Rosengård and hence could benefit in case property values rise as the area
is developed in a positive way. We maintain our Overweight recommendation on Victora Park's SEK
bonds with a Marketweight on Heimstaden and Balder.
NAS reported continued high increase in passenger traffic (up 21% y/y) in September on the back of a
19% capacity increase - primarily intercontinental. This resulted in a load factor increase of 1.2pp to
89.4% in September - solid! However, after several months of almost unchanged average ticket prices
y/y despite the high increase of capacity, NAS reported an 8% decrease in average ticket prices in
September. Although some of it could be currency related, we believe investors could see this as a first
Norwegian Air
sign that NAS is not immune to the increased capacity and hence price pressure in European-based
Shuttle (NAS)
aviation. Over the past months we have seen several profit warnings from peers like Lufthansa, BA and
easyJet. However, we do not want to exaggerate the impact of one month’s traffic numbers and we will
watch the coming month’s traffic numbers and average ticket prices closely. Overall we believe NAS
will report strong Q3 results on 20 October, which should support the bonds. We see bond spreads as
fair at current levels.

Company news from the past week (high yield/unrated)
Name
Corem
News
Regarding Ericsson's announcement of a potential closing down/reduction of production in Borås and Kumla, this
will affect Corem (Marketweight) that has logistics/office facilities in both cities with Ericsson as its main
customer. According to Corem, Ericsson today constitutes roughly 4% of total rental income (with its share having
been reduced in recent years). Contracts have been renegotiated relatively recently and currently expire around
2019. This gives some time for adaptation. Clearly Ericsson's announcement is a negative but Corem has
previously been through a similar process in Hudiksvall and Falun, which are weaker cities, and as both Borås and
Kumla are decent from a logistics perspective, the adaptation process should be easier this time around. We
maintain a Marketweight recommendation on Corem.

Buy NOKIA 2019 USD, trading at wide margin to Nokia 2019 EUR
Published on 23 May 2016
Buy Caruna 1.5% 2023 outright
Still undervalued (published 3 October 2016)
Key arguments for the trade
•
The Caruna 1.5% 2023 is fundamentally undervalued. Being ‘BBB+’
rated, Caruna trades between the ‘BBB-’ and the ‘BBB’ curve.
•
We believe the Caruna 1.5% 2023s trade at wide levels due to a lack
of name recognition. Caruna is a relatively new issuer and we believe
many investors have yet to get properly acquainted with this name.
•
Caruna’s business risk profile is excellent. This is because 100% of its
earnings originate from Finnish power distribution activities. Income
from these assets is fully regulated by the Finnish authorities. This
provides a very high degree of earnings and cash flow visibility in the
short to medium term
The regulator has recently adjusted the model to the benefit of Caruna.
•

Mid Spread (EUR)*

•
Despite being a fairly new company, Caruna’s operating activities have
a very long track record, as the company is based on Fortum’s Finnish
distribution activities.
•
Caruna is the result of a leveraged acquisition, with infrastructure and
pension funds acquiring Fortum’s Finnish grid in a leveraged
transaction. This has made the ownership structure and corporate
structure relatively complex. We consider inter-creditor agreements
and covenant protections adequate to offset the complexity risks.
•
We struggle to justify the recent underperformance of Caruna relative
to its Finnish peer Elenia.

Company news from the past week (investment grade)
Name
Carlsberg
TDC
Nordea
Banks
News
Carlsberg (MW) openly criticises Russia's plan to impose excise tax of RUB21/liter on non-alcoholic
beer. Carlsberg states this is illogical and contradicts government policy to reduce alcohol abuse.
Overall this underlines the difficult market conditions in Russia. The Russian beer market is dominated
by foreign companies and hence makes it an easy target for the Russian government to find additional
tax revenue. Russia accounts for c. 15% of Group EBIT for Carlsberg, hence this move will only have
minor impact on group earnings/metrics. In 2010 Russia accounted for around 50% of Group EBIT!
Overall Credit neutral.
TDC (MW). Article in 7 October edition of Berlingske on the Apollo/TDC story and possible reasons for
a potential PE take-over. The article argues that the most likely rationale for a PE fund to take over is to
split off TDC's cable business (YouSee) and merge it with Com Hem. The article establishes an old link
between Apollo and BC Partners (the current owner of Com Hem). Both PE funds were in a (losing)
bidding consortium back in 2005 when TDC was taken private initially. By merging YouSee and GET
(TDC's cable business) with Com Hem, the PE funds could create a strong Nordic cable provider which
would have more leverage when negotiating with cable content providers. The remaining parts of TDC
(mobile, corporate mobile and wholesale) could be sold to other participants on the Danish market or
to participants wishing to enter. The article does not change anything, in our view, but provides an
interesting perspective as to why a PE take-over is not as farfetched as some market participants
think it is
Nordea (UW). According to a Dutch newspaper, Nordea and ABN Amro have discussed merging and
the Dutch have rejected the proposal. As Nordea is about twice the size of ABN, it would be the
acquiring unit and Nordea could move its head office to Amsterdam. The reasoning behind the merger
should be to avoid the tougher capital requirements in Sweden. We doubt that such a large merger
between banks would be approved by the authorities given the intensive work on avoiding banks being
too-big-to-fail and too complex.
Regarding ‘Tier 3’. On Wednesday the ECB announced that it has changed its eligibility criteria for
senior unsecured bonds and from 2017 senior unsecured bonds that are statutorily subordinated will
be eligible, while contractual subordinated senior bonds will not – this is clearly a support to German
senior debt. In our view, the ‘non-preferred’ senior (Tier 3) to be introduced in France should also be
eligible. For Sweden, this could push a solution similar to the one expected in France, which would also
make sense given that its documentation in Tier 2 currently conflicts with contractual subordination.

Company news from the past week (investment grade)
Name
APMM
Ericsson
APMM
News
APMM (MW). Last Monday after market close Moody's placed its BBB+ rating on review for downgrade
following the announcement of a new structure with separation of the energy businesses. Moody’s
stated the review will result in a downgrade of at least one notch, although ultimately the rating will
depend on the amount of debt that will be allocated to the Shipping division as well as any remaining
ownership interests in the Energy division. APMM has stated that it will target an IG rating in A.P. Møller
- Maersk A/S (bond issuer entity) but has not commented if this means BBB or BBB-. We believe APMM
will target a BBB rating as the Group will be much more exposed to shipping, which is poorly rated by
rating agencies and volatile. Therefore we believe APMM will want to keep some slack in its metrics to
prevent a downgrade to HY when/if the shipping industry is under pressure. Short-term maturities are
trading tight vs a BBB rating but will continue to do so in our view due to the ample liquidity of APMM.
Mid-dated maturities (EUR2021-2022) are trading at the BBB- curve, which is fair in our view due to
the rating pressure combined with earnings pressure in key segments. Longer-dated bonds trade
significantly wider than the BBB- curve and are attractively priced in our view but reflect uncertainty
about the future rating level and the poor state of the shipping industry in general. We keep our
Marketweight on APMM.
Ericsson (MW) has come to a decision regarding its jobs cuts in Sweden. Ericsson has decided to cut
3,000 jobs (about 2% of its global work force) mainly in the Swedish operations. Both blue and whitecollar positions affected (Production, R&D, Sales and Administration). There has been a lot of
speculation during the process where as much as 4-5,000 job cuts had been anticipated by some
media sources, i.e. the number announced is somewhat lower than expectations most likely due to tough
negotiations with unions. At the same time Ericsson announced that it will recruit about 1,000 people in
R&D over the coming three years so the net cut will be closer to 2,000. The cuts will not increase
savings beyond the SEK9bn 2017 target previously announced by Ericsson. Overall this announcement
should not affect spreads to any significant degree, in our view.
APMM (MW). The South Africa Competition Commission raided container shipping companies including Maersk - for potential rate fixing. However, this happens quite often and we note that alliances
in the shipping industry are approved by i.e. the EU Commission, simply because they do not really
impact rates – it is pure demand/supply that matters. Hence, we do not believe that this news will
impact spreads. The short-term spread driver continues to be the uncertainty regarding the targeted
credit rating. APMM has stated it will target IG but it is set to be BBB or BBB-. In a BBB- scenario
investors will fear that APMM will not be able to keep metrics commensurate with IG in times of
shipping downturns - hence some investors are worried that APMM could become a x-over case in
reality.

Company news from the past week (investment grade)
Name
Nordea
News
Nordea (UW). The Swedish FSA published a statement and held a press conference last Monday
afternoon that clarified why the results of its SREP 2016 including a review of corporate risk weights
and the results of its initial investigation of Nordea’s corporate risk weights opened in April differed.
The initial investigation resulted in an extra capital need of up to SEK50-80bn (leaked in the media in
June) compared to the SEK13.8m added to its capital requirements following the results of its SREP
2016 published 3 October. One of the primary reasons for the significant difference is that the initial
analysis ‘made the assumption that Swedish economic conditions were representative for all of
Nordea’s exposures to corporates, even though a significant portion of Nordea’s operations are
outside of Sweden’. In relation to the SREP 2016, the FSA has had access to new data and worked
closely together with other relevant regulatory authorities. Furthermore, it was clarified at the press
conference that the question regarding Nordea’s corporate risk weights posed back in April has been
answered/closed with this review, which should provide some comfort to the market.
