What’s on our mind - General credit market news
• The European credit market continued to move more or less sideways. Over the week. iTraxx Main was unchanged at 60bp. iTraxx Crossover widened some 4bp to 269bp.
• In the Nordic region, we saw issuance from DONG Energy coming to the market, with a new corporate hybrid (NC 5.5 years) issuance size of EUR600m and printing at MS 281.9bp. The proceeds are set to be used to repay the DONG Energy 5.5% 3005 with first call date at the end of June 2015.
• The issuance of the new DONG Energy corporate hybrid comes on the back of strong issuance activity of corporate hybrid bonds. Thus, Bertelsmann (Germany), RWE (Germany), Centrica (UK), Bayer (Germany) and Air France-KLMhave issued corporate hybrid bonds within the past month.
• According to Bloomberg, non-financial borrowers have already issued more than EUR19bn. of subordinated debt compared with total issuance of EUR28 bn. in 2014. Consensus among market participants is that total issue size of corporate hybrid bonds in 2015 will significantly exceed the 2014 issuance of EUR28bn.

• In our view the Sandvik 2026 offers strong value relative to its ’BBB’ rating. Currently, the valuation suggests a risk of more than a one-notch downgrade, which in our view is unwarranted given Sandvik’s strong balance sheet and improving results despite weakness in the mining and energy sectors. See Sandvik: Q1 15 – Not
as bad as feared, 27 April 2015.
• We suggest selling the METSO 2019s, which have had a good run since the spin-off of the group’s Pulp, Paper & Power business in 2014. Metso and Sandvik have similar business exposure (mining and energy) but Sandvik is c.3x larger (in terms of revenues) and diversified into sectors to which Metso has no exposure.
• Being exposed to the EUR, Metso has not benefited from FX tailwinds to the same extent that SEK-exposed Sandvik has in recent quarters.
• Metso’s book-to-bill is weaker than Sandvik’s at less than 0.5x versus 1.0x.

Name News Implication
YIT
We revise our outlook to Stable. The reported IFRS revenue fell by 2% y/y. Adjusting for currency effects, revenues rose by 10% y/y. Operating profit was up by 17% y/y and the EBIT margin was 6.9%, up from 5.8% in Q1 14. EBITDA was EUR40m compared with EUR27m in Q1 14. The focus is on the balance sheet and YIT managed to reduce interest-bearing debt by EUR80m in Q1. This is in line with the guidance of a reduction of EUR100m for 2015. However, we are surprised by the strong commitment ,doing more or less everything in Q1. The reduction is a result of the strong cash flow seen in Q4 and took net debt to EBITDA from 7.4x at year-end 2014 to 6.5x at end-Q1. All in all, we view this as a credit positive report. Our main concern has been the short-dated maturity profile and the small covenant headroom. Following the strong cash flow in Q4, the refinancing of the maturities in 2015 and the reduced covenant pressure, we revise out outlook to Stable for YIT’s B rating.
Credit positive
UPM-Kymmene
UPM-Kymmene presented a stable start to the year and Q1 was in line with our expectations for most items. The group's cost cutting programme is progressing well and as a result the EBITDA margin improved by 0.1pp compared with Q1 14. Adjusted net debt to EBITDA rose from 2.8x to 2.9x due to an increase in both working capital and pension liabilities. We see potential for UPM to return to investment grade status but this would require a further reduction in publication paper exposure as the balance sheet is already fairly strong for the rating. We maintain our Marketweight rating.
Credit neutral
Swedbank
Swedbank’s Q1 15 results were further testimony to a fundamentally strong bank. The ROE of 14.9%, cost-income ratio of 45%, CET1 full Basel III of 20.5% and loan loss ratio of 2bp speak for themselves. However, the strong fundamentals are fully reflected in the pricing of Swedbank's bonds and for this reason we maintain our Marketweight recommendation.
Credit neutral
DONG Energy
DONG Energy’s Q1 15 results were relatively strong. Group sales fell on lower energy prices, while group clean earnings fell less than we feared when adjusting for one-off items. Underlying items offsetting falling earnings were cost reduction and stronger wind power earnings. DONG's capex budget caused adjusted net debt to rise 3% q/q. Reported adjusted net FFO to net debt subsequently fell to 32%, from 36%, in line with the 'BBB+' category target and on track in terms of FY guidance of 30%. DONG announced that it will call the existing call 2015 hybrid and replace it with a new hybrid. We maintain our Marketweight rating due to tight pricing of DONG's senior bonds, preferring the DONGAS call 2018s.

Company news from the past week

Name News Implication
TVO
TVO's Q1 15 results were a non-event from a credit perspective. It reported that the two operating reactors' combined capacity factor fell to 90% due to an unplanned outage at OL2. This is still a very strong level in a global context. TVO reported that total Finnish power demand fell 2% y/y. Group revenues fell 8% y/y and group metrics deteriorated in Q1. This remains irrelevant as TVO is a not-for-profit company with its fixed costs being covered by its shareholders. TVO did not offer any news regarding the OL3 delay, the Areva/Siemens arbitration or the decision to construct OL4. Overall, this was a credit neutral report. We maintain our Overweight rating as TVO's bonds trade too wide even if S&P decides to downgrade the company.
Credit neutral
SSAB
SSAB had a strong start to 2015, with Q1 15 adjusted operating profit outperforming consensus by almost 50%. Underlying operating profit improved by SEK538m y/y, driven by lower variable costs and currency, while being held back somewhat by weaker prices for steel and lower earnings in Ruukki Construction. Despite cash flow not being large enough to reduce net debt levels, credit metrics still managed to improve on better earnings. We expect further credit metric improvements over the year (albeit at a slower pace) as weaker quarters roll over.
Credit positive
Sandvik
Sandvik had a decent start to 2015. Overall sales rose 12% y/y, driven mainly by currency effects, while the clean operating profit rose 18% y/y. Positively, demand in Mining was stable, at a low level, with the aftermarket slowly showing signs of recovery. The uncertainty surrounding the oil price is affecting order intake in Sandvik and Venture but not to the extent feared. Leverage declined on the back of a strong SEK2.4bn cash flow from operations, and credit metrics are, in our view, commensurate with the current ‘BBB’ rating. We find the longer dated Sandvik EUR bond attractively priced and change our recommendation from Marketweight to Overweight.
Credit neutral
Vattenfall
Q1 15 results were weak due to depressed Nordic and continental power prices. Nuclear and hydro generation was also down y/y. Vattenfall reports that its hedges, which used to ensure a relatively solid power price, are now running off, which depresses earnings. Sales fell 1% y/y, while comparable EBITDA fell 7% y/y. Vattenfall's net debt remained largely unchanged due to tempered capex. Despite weaker cash flow, Vattenfall's adjusted FFO to net debt was marginally better at 21% due to the inclusion of new hybrid on the balance sheet. Overall, these were slightly credit negative results from Vattenfall.
Credit negative
Atlas Copco
Like other Swedish industrials, Atlas Copco got a strong boost from the weaker SEK, which led revenues and order intake to increase by 16% and 12% y/y, respectively. Adjusting for the currency effect, both revenues and order intake declined organically. The key drag on Atlas’s results was weaker demand for equipment, which could not be fully offset by higher demand for services. The group continues to show very strong cash flow and overall reported net debt fell by around SEK1bn, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.7x versus 0.8x in Q4 14. We maintain our Underweight rating.

Corem
Corem’s results were solid. Q1 rental income rose by 6% y/y and the NOI margin remained high at 75%. Financial derivatives weighed on the results by SEK80m in Q1, with the valuation change in Klövern shares making a positive contribution of SEK61m. The yield requirement revision from 7.4% at year-end 2014 to 7.3% in Q1 boosted valuation gains from properties by SEK71m. Gross loan-to-value (LTV) fell to 75%, from 77% at year-end, due to higher property values. The average maturity of the debt portfolio was 3.4 years and the fixed interest period was 4.6 years. The economic occupancy rate fell somewhat and was down to 90% (Q4 14 92%). All in all, there were no surprises. The Klövern shares continue to balance the negative effects of financial derivatives (long interest duration) and operating cash flow remains healthy. We see the results as credit neutral/on the margin positive due to the lower LTV.
Credit positive
Jernhusen
Jernhusen presented a stable and credit neutral Q1 report. Rental income increased by 7% y/y and net income increased by 98% following valuation changes in the property portfolio. LTV was slightly higher y/y at 52%, while net debt/EBITDA weakened somewhat. We note the zero amount of cash recognised on the balance sheet but the high amount of undrawn credit facilities has a calming effect from a credit perspective. We view Jernhusen as an 'A-' credit with stable outlook.
Credit neutral
Sparebank-1
Nord-Norge
After the writedown of half of the Russian exposure took most of the focus in Q4, the Q1 results were more in line with previous quarters and there were still no real signs of impaired asset quality following the lower oil price. We believe it is still early days for any implications to have an impact and continue to believe better value can be found elsewhere. We maintain our Underweight rating.
Credit positive
Sparebank-1 SR-
Bank
SpareBank 1 SR-Bank's Q1 results showed only a modest negative impact from the falling oil price and with an ROE of 12.7%, a cost-income ratio of 47.6% and a transitional CET1 ratio of 12.1%, the bank remained in fundamentally good shape. However, market conditions have changed in Norway, particularly in the core business area, which is also highlighted by the bank, and with this in mind, we see no reason to turn more positive on the name as of yet. We maintain our Underweight rating.
Credit positive
LKAB
LKAB's performance in Q1 continued to be negatively affected by the severe price decline for iron ore, which caused sales and earnings to fall heavily versus Q1 14. In this environment, LKAB continues to focus on cost reduction and cash preservation. Encouragingly, the company generated positive free cash flow in Q1, with a strong balance sheet with zero net debt. We maintain our view of LKAB as a 'BBB+' credit with stable outlook, including one notch of implicit ownership support. Our expectation for the current rating is that LKAB should maintain net debt to EBITDA of below 1.5x in coming years.
Credit negative

NCC
NCC reported good results for the seasonally weak Q1, with sales and operating income beating SME Direkt consensus. The Nordic construction market outlook continues to be fairly optimistic with the exception of Finland. Adjusted net debt to LTM EBITDA increased to 3.1x, from 2.5x at year-end 2014, as a result of an earlier dividend payout and increased pension liabilities. We expect credit metrics to recover over the next few quarters and consider the report to be credit neutral for NCC. We maintain our 'BBB-' rating and reiterate our stable outlook.
Credit neutral
Outokompu
Outokumpu's Q1 15 results were in line with the group's profit warning issued two weeks ago. The primary reason for the soft performance was the North American market, which saw price pressure on the back of higher imports and elevated inventory levels resulting from a low nickel price. Adjusted net debt rose by around EUR80m on negative CFO and a rise in pension liabilities but metrics improved on better LTM earnings. We maintain our 'B' rating on the name for now, as we see the turnaround story as intact (for now) and expect the weakness in North America to be offset by a stronger European market for the remainder of 2015
Credit negative
Nordea
Nordea reported high earnings for Q1 but solely due to trading income, which we normally perceive as lower quality because of its volatile nature. The more important NII line was weaker than SME Direkt consensus and capitalisation was hit by increasing REA (previously RWA). To us, this underlines that Nordea is more trading oriented than the market gives it credit for and, with this in mind, we continue to believe its bonds trade too tightly. We reiterate our Underweight rating.
Credit neutral
Wihlborgs
Wihlborgs delivered a stable performance in Q1, with modest growth in rental income and a slight decline in the loan-to-value ratio from the previous quarter. The company's credit profile benefits from its high-quality property portfolio, which is located in an attractive region with good growth characteristics. Due to its focus on commercial properties, rental income is exposed to swings in economic cycles, while earnings have a certain sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. All in all, we continue to see Wihlborgs as a 'BB+' credit with stable outlook, with its bonds one notch lower at 'BB' due to structural subordination.
Credit neutral
Handelsbanken Handelsbanken reported strong Q1 numbers on all important lines (NII, fees and loan losses) and remains best in class. We maintain our Marketweight rating due to tight pricing. Credit positive

Fortum
Fortum's Q1 15 results were weighed down by depressed Nordic power prices and warm weather. Both comparable sales and earnings are down y/y. This is the first quarter that Fortum has reported without its divested distribution segment. A stronger cash flow due to reduced capex caused Fortum's current credit metrics to improve q/q. We expect these to improve further in Q2 when the large proceeds from the divested Swedish grid hit Fortum's balance sheet. Following this, Fortum's metrics are strong for its current ratings. However, ambitions towards releveraging make a downgrade a real possibility. Overall, we view this as a credit neutral report from Fortum but we maintain our Underweight rating due to risks in Russia and uncertainty about shareholder friendliness.
Credit neutral
Vsakronen
Vasakronan delivered another solid quarter, with an increase by 2% in rental income. Negative contributions in financial derivatives were balanced by a very strong valuation gain for the property portfolio. The group's financial position remains strong with a net loan-to-value ratio of 48%. The economic occupancy rate rose in Q1 and is now 92.2%. Lower capex levels and some disposals had a positive effect on cash flow. During Q1, dividends of SE924m were paid. We continue to view Vasakronan as an 'A-' credit, including two notches uplift for ownership support. The outlook remains stable.
Credit positive
Jyske Bank
The integration of BRF Kredit is on track and we believe the rationale for acquiring it will be fully visible in 2015. We maintain our Overweight rating, as the two outstanding liquid bonds offer an attractive pickup versus regional peer banks.
Credit neutral
Sydbank Sydbank's Q1 results were mixed, but capitalisation improved and equally importantly asset quality seemed very robust, with the bank continuing to buffer up. We maintain our Overweight rating. Credit neutral
Stena
Stena delivered decent Q4 14 results, with a healthy increase in EBITDA y/y. Debt metrics strengthened moderately in the quarter. Despite the moderately credit positive Q4 14 results, we see a risk of increased leverage and ratings pressure starting to build given the very tough outlook in the drilling segment. On the back of this, we see no reason to change our recommendation following the results. We expect the bonds to perform in line with the market.

Statskraft
Statkraft's Q1 15 results were weak and in line with what we have seen from other Nordic utilities. A tumbling power price, partly offset by higher hydro power production, caused both revenues and earnings to deteriorate y/y. However, tempered capex coupled with a solid cash flow resulted in lower group net debt q/q. Subsequently, group adjusted credit metrics are unchanged sequentially, leaving Statkraft comfortably aligned with its current ratings from all agencies. Statkraft repeated its ambition to maintain its ratings and to adjust its capex in order to fulfil this ambition. We continue to see value in Statkraft's bonds as a safe-haven investment due to the proven support willingness from the Norwegian government. We maintain our Overweight recommendation.
Credit neutral
DNB Bank
DNB benefited from strong trading income in Q1, as did most of its Nordic peers, but also from lower-than-expected loan losses. The oil-related exposure seems to be well under control still but the question is whether this will continue. We think the jury is still out on to what extent the lower oil price will hit Norway and in tandem with DNB's increasing exposure to oil-related industries, we see no reason to change our negative view. We maintain our Underweight rating.
Credit neutral
Statoil
Statoil delivered weak Q1 15 results on the back of lower oil and gas prices. Both revenues and comparable earnings fell significantly. However, strong cost discipline left Statoil's earnings ahead of market expectations. During Q1, Statoil took a NOK46bn impairment on its US shale assets, reflecting lower profitability. Statoil's cash flow deteriorated significantly, lifting group net debt by 13% q/q. Following this, we now see adjusted FFO to net debt at 56% (63% in Q4 14). This is barely in line with S&P's short-term requirement and the risk of a downgrade is moving closer, in our view. Despite this, Statoil is still maintaining its quarterly dividend payout level of NOK5.7bn. Overall, this is a credit negative report and we maintain our Underweight rating due to the tight pricing of Statoil's bonds.

SCA
SCA's reported Q1 figures beat market expectations in terms of revenues while falling slightly short on EBIT as a result of higher raw material costs. Sales rose 15% y/y on the back of FX tailwinds, better prices and increased volumes. Credit metrics held stable and the SCA balance sheet is, in our view, commensurate with the current 'A-' rating from S&P and strong for the 'Baa1' rating from Moody's. We believe the current valuation is fair for the split rating and we maintain our Marketweight recommendation on the name
Credit positive
OP Financial
Group
OP Financial Group reported a strong set of figures across the board for Q1. The non-life operation benefited from benign weather conditions, while the banking operation reported low loan losses and increased lending volume despite the challenging macro conditions. This said, it was all overshadowed by the large increase in capitalisation, which we find very positive. We lift our rating from Underweight to Marketweight.
