  • Anticipating Levfin Opportunities
    Anticipating LevFin Opportunities A Closer Look at Leveraged Finance February 2017 Introduction There are still opportunities within the Leveraged Finance (LevFin) Market, despite uncertainty caused by an unstable political environment and increasing regulatory pressures. This paper sheds light on some of these opportunities and their key drivers,1 with a focus on the Americas, and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). By identifying prominent sectors, we explore the potential surrounding: 1) refinancing, 2) M&A, and 3) financial sponsors. 1 Data source: Dealogic, as of January 24, 2017 Page 2 The Need to Refinance An analysis of the debt wall indicates that we are entering a refinancing cycle. Starting next year, debt due to mature will grow on average 14% year-on-year, peaking in 2021 (see Figure 1). By then, leveraged loans and high-yield debt set to mature will be worth a total $2.07tr. With this amount of LevFin debt coming due over the next few years, there are ample refinancing opportunities. Figure 1: LevFin Maturity Wall (Americas and EMEA) Outstanding volume ($bn) 250.0 200.0 150.0 100.0 50.0 0.0 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 High-yield Corporate Bonds Leveraged Loans Top Refinancing Sectors Though the debt wall spans numerous sectors (see Figure 2), we focus on the top three in the Americas and EMEA, with a combined $682.5bn of leveraged and high-yield debt due to mature by 2021. In the Americas, Dealogic figures show that firms in the oil & gas sector lead with 11.0% of debt set to mature in the region, followed by telecom (10.7%) and healthcare (9.8%).
