Investment Research 21 November 2014 Weekly Credit Update Headlines G20 Summit in Brisbane ended Contents Market commentary 1 TLAC has removed all activity in the Tier-2 market Selected charts 3 Indices stayed flat during the week Recently published research 5 Official and shadow ratings 6 Market commentary The week started off with the published communiqué from the weekend’s G20 Summit in Brisbane. The new goal is to lift the G20’s GDP by at least an additional 2% by 2018, which could appear ambitious given that many of the western economies are struggling to grow these days. That said, the overall conclusion was that the Summit was rather uneventful and it did not get much attention in the market. What has got a lot attention already is the TLAC (Total Loss Absorbing Capacity) proposed by the global Financial Stability Board ahead of the G20 Summit. As expected, the G20 Leaders welcomed this proposal and expect it to be finalised by the time of the next G20 Leaders’ Summit in November 2015. In short, the TLAC requirement will be set at the higher of 16-20% of risk-weighted assets or twice the Basel 3 leverage ratio (i.e. a minimum 6% of total assets) and, importantly, will have to come on top of the already decided Pillar I capital buffers (i.e. the SIFI buffer, the capital conservation buffer and the counter-cyclical buffer). It is expected to come into force at the earliest in 2019. As we see it, the largest challenge for the Nordic banks will be the threshold of 6% in the leverage ratio and we are a bit uncertain as to how much of the TLAC can be covered by senior unsecured debt. Generally speaking, we expect the TLAC to be quite complex to implement at the EU level, where minimum bail-in-able liability (MREL) requirements have already been agreed as part of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). The tight overlap with MREL speaks for a large use of senior unsecured debt. In the Financial Stability Board’s own words, the proposal of the TLAC “is a watershed in ending ‘too big to fail’ for banks” and the final landmark in fixing the system failures that the financial crises had revealed. However, financial reform does not end with this, according to Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England and Chair of the Financial Stability Board. In a speech at the 2014 Monetary Authority of Singapore Lecture, he shared some interesting views about future regulation. If you have not read it, we believe it is worth considering for a weekend read. So far, the senior financials have been almost unscathed by the TLAC proposal while the Tier-2 subdebt market has suffered and been rather illiquid ever since. For the general European credit markets, all the major indices traded relatively flat throughout the week. The Itraxx main index (investment grade) widened by an insignificant 1bp w/w while the Itraxx crossover index (high yield) widened by 8bp w/w.

SKF switch idea The SKF 2019s trade too tight, in our view. We see more value in the SKF 2020s and 2018s. SKF is rated 'BBB+' and 'Baa1' by Moody's. S&P's recently put SKF on negative outlook citing an unexpectedly slow recovery in credit metrics following the acquisition of Kaydon. SKF 2020 and SKF 2018 trade at fair value for a 'BBB' indicating limited downside should SKF be downgraded one notch and potential upside if SKF avoids the downgrade. We recommend investors switch out of the SKF2019s and into either SKF2018s or SKF2020s depending on risk tolerance. AMBU Q4 13/14 - Credit Update Danish healthcare equipment provider Ambu delivered yet another solid quarterly report in Q4 13/14. Revenues in local currency improved 11%, driven by strong pick-up in earnings from the Anaesthesia segment. Group clean EBITDA rose by 56% y/y reflecting the strong sales numbers, cost focus and synergies from the King Systems acquisition. Ambu's reported leverage landed at 2.6x, which is still weak compared with our indicative rating. While our belief in the deleveraging story remains intact on the back of the strong earnings outlook, we are also slightly disappointed in Ambu's pace of deleveraging. The company targets its leverage at 1.75x in the medium term but only guides for 2.2x after the next FY report due to higher dividends. Ambu also has an increasingly aggressive rhetoric around M&A. Further leveraged M&A would be unlikely to be commensurate with our current indicative issuer rating on Ambu of 'BBB-'. 5| 21 November 2014 www.danskeresearch.com Weekly Credit Update Ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch and Danske Bank Markets shadow ratings Danske Bank Company Rating Outlook Sr. Unsec Ahlstrom Oyj B+ Stable Akelius Residential Ab BB+ Pos BB Ambu A/S BBBStable Ap Moeller - Maersk A/S Arla Foods Amba BBB+ Stable Atlas Copco Ab Avinor As Bank 1 Oslo Akershus As BBB+ Stable Bank Norwegian As BBB Stable Beerenberg Holdco Ii As B+ Stable Bw Offshore BB+ Stable Cargotec Oyj BBBStable Carlsberg Breweries A/S Cermaq Asa BB Stable Citycon Oyj Color Group As BBStable B+ Com Hem Holding Ab Danske Bank A/S Dfds A/S BB+ Stable Dlg Finance As BBStable Dna Ltd BBBStable Dnb Bank Asa Dong Energy A/S Dsv A/S BBB Stable Eg Holding B Stable Eika Boligkreditt As AStable Eika Gruppen As BBB Stable Electrolux Ab Elisa Oyj Entra Eiendom As AStable Farstad Shipping Asa BB Neg BBFingrid Oyj Finnair Oyj BB Stable Fortum Oyj Fortum Varme Holding Samagt Med Stockholms Stad Ab Fred Olsen Energy Asa BB+ Neg G4S Plc Getinge Ab BB+ Neg Heimstaden Ab BB Stable BBHemso Fastighets Ab BBB+ Stable BBB Hoist Kredit Ab BBStable B+ Husqvarna Ab BBBPos Ikano Bank Ab BBB Stable Investor Ab Iss A/S J Lauritzen A/S B Stable BJernhusen Ab AStable Jyske Bank A/S Kesko Oyj BBB Stable Klaveness Ship Holding As BBStable B+ Meda Ab BBStable Metsa Board Oyj Metso Oyj Ncc Ab BBBStable Neste Oil Oyj BBBStable Nokia Oyj Nokian Renkaat Oyj BBB+ Stable Nordea Bank Ab North Atlantic Drilling Ltd BB Stable BBNorwegian Air Shuttle Asa BBStable B+ Norwegian Property Asa BBBStable Nykredit Bank A/S Nynas Group B+ Stable B+ Odfjell Se B+ Stable B Olav Thon Eiendomsselskap Asa BBB+ Stable Olympic Shipping As B+ Stable B Orkla Asa BBB+ Pos Outokumpu Oyj BPos Pohjola Bank Oyj Posten Norge As AStable Postnord Ab BBB+ Stable S&P Rating Outlook Moody's Rating Outlook BBB+ Stable Baa1 Stable A AA- Stable Stable A2 A1 Stable Stable Baa2 Stable BBB Stable Baa2 Stable BBA Stable Neg Baa1 Pos Fitch Rating Outlook BBB Stable A Stable A+ BBB+ Stable Stable A1 Baa1 Neg Stable BBB BBB Stable Pos Wr Baa2 Stable A+ Stable A1 Stable A+ Stable ABBB+ Neg Stable A2 Neg A- Neg BBB- Stable AABBB- Stable Stable A1 Stable A- Stable Baa1 Neg B+ BBB Pos Stable B2 Baa2 Pos Stable BB Pos Ba2 Pos BB Stable AA- Neg Aa3 Neg AA- Stable A+ Neg Baa2U Stable A Stable AA- Neg Aa3 Neg A+ Stable BBB+ Stable WD Analyst(s) Mads Rosendal Louis Landeman Jakob Magnussen Brian Børsting Mads Rosendal Mads Rosendal Ola Heldal T.
