Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018
Highlights
The Fed hiked rates another quarter-
point in September, as widely
anticipated, and dropped the
longstanding “accommodative”
language from its formal statement.
Private debt and equity dry powder
continued to build, supporting higher
LBO purchase multiples and
contributing to lower credit spreads.
Rising borrowing costs have resulted
in a significant decline in refinancing
activity YTD particularly in the third
quarter.
In conjunction with the 25bps interest rate hike in September, the Fed, taking a
hawkish stance on monetary policy, raised its economic outlook and dropped
the “accommodative” language that has long been a component of its formal
statement.
In August, the Bank of England (BOE) raised interest rates, citing a strong
labor market and credit growth. UK economic growth rebounded in the second
quarter following a slowdown in the first quarter, which the BOE attributes
largely to weather. One of the most significant risk to economic growth remains
Brexit negotiations between the UK and European Union.
Private debt and equity dry powder continued to build, supporting higher
leveraged buyout (LBO) purchase multiples and lower credit spreads. This
trend may continue to result in private credit funds and direct lenders gaining
market share from banks - despite loosening regulations.
Lending standards have remained more rigorous in the lower middle-market
(<$25M EBITDA), where total leverage is largely holding below 6x and
financial covenants remain intact (i.e., a limited number of covenant-lite or
covenant-loose transactions). At the same time, we note diminishing
underwriting standards at the upper end of the middle-market (>$25M
EBITDA), which we attribute to the abundance of available capital (a result of
collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other non-direct origination
sources).
Rising borrowing costs have resulted in a significant decline in refinancing
activity year-to-date (YTD), particularly in the third quarter. There has been a
significant shift toward opportunistic financings for growth-related purposes
and leveraged recapitalizations. As economic conditions continue to stoke
M&A related activities and a hawkish Fed focuses on raising rates, we
anticipate that the trend away from refinancings will likely continue. 2

Executive Summary
In the U.S., the Fed provided yet more hawkish guidance in conjunction with
its announcing a third quarter-point rate hike in September 2018, signaling a
likely fourth 25bps rate hike in 2018 and four additional quarter-point hikes
through 2020. The BOE, continuing on its path to tighter monetary policy,
raised interest rates in August and indicated that if its macroeconomic
forecasts prove out, it will likely increase rates further, albeit gradually.
In light of the rising rate environment, we noted that refinancing activity is
down significantly YTD. Replacing refinancing issuance, that dominated new
issuance for the last several years, has been an increase in acquisition-
related financings and recapitalization transactions. To support growth, we
have noted anecdotally for middle-market issuances that delayed draw term
loans have become a key component of many financings, and are likely being
used to fund growth capital expenditures and acquisitions. In these cases,
draws typically are subject solely to pro forma covenant compliance.
We note that underwriting standards have become less rigorous at the upper
end of the middle-market (>$25M EBITDA) due to the abundance of available
capital (a result of the proliferation of CLOs and other non-direct origination
sources). At the same time, as Rich Jander, managing director at Maranon
Capital, noted, “Lending standards have remained more fastidious in the
lower middle-market (<$25M EBITDA), where leverage is largely holding
below 6x and financial covenants remain intact (i.e., not seeing covenant-lite
or covenant-loose transactions).”
Jander continued that “with interest rates rising, lenders, in recent weeks, are
becoming more selective around businesses viewed as cyclical, and are
favoring businesses with strong underlying demographic trends.”
Loan spreads continue to tighten, particularly with institutional lending
sources, as lenders compete with each other on rate and as default risk
remains very low. In addition, the recent increase in the LIBOR rate has
allowed lenders to reduce spread and maintain all-in yields. Ted Koenig,
president and CEO at Monroe Capital, said “We believe that private credit
funds and direct lenders will continue to gain market share against banks,
despite loosening leveraged lending regulatory guidelines. We are starting to
see larger unitranche products (some instances of covenant-lite), as well as
direct lenders taking significantly larger bite-sizes than they have traditionally
done in the past.”
Koenig further noted that “private equity and private debt dry powder levels
continue to build, pushing LBO purchase price multiples higher and spreads
tighter. Credit quality will potentially suffer as more companies are coming for
sale sooner than they should in order to take advantage of the current supply
and demand imbalance.” Tighter spreads have largely offset rising base rates
to date; but with overall rates rising, refinancing issuance has abated, and
new issuance has shifted significantly toward more opportunistic financings
for growth-related and leveraged recapitalization transactions. We anticipate
this trend will likely continue so long as the credit markets and economic
conditions warrant.

Third-quarter U.S. high-yield issuance volume of $43B and the number of new
issuances (67) declined from the previous quarter by 7% and 25%, respectively. High-
yield issuance continued to decelerate, with September posting its lowest issuance
volume since 2011, and YTD issuance volume down 29% versus the prior YTD period.
In light of an increasingly hawkish Fed and rising rates, investors and issuers alike
seemed to favor the leverage loan market.

Second-quarter high-yield issuance volume of €12B and number of new issuances (32)
were lower versus the prior quarter by 46% and 40%, respectively. This is a trend that
has been repeated in each of the past five years apart from the third quarter of 2016.
While, on the whole, conditions in the market remain attractive for both lenders and
borrowers, it is clear that high-yield is taking a back seat to the loan market-with lack of
supply being of particular concern.

Third-quarter European loan issuance volume totaled €114B, decreasing 55% over the
second quarter. The relatively smaller 21% decrease in the number of third-quarter
issuances versus the second quarter is largely the result of sizable deals completed in
Q1 and Q2 (five of the largest 10 issuances since 2008 were completed in Q1 and Q2
2018).

M&A volume was lower in Q3, year-to-date M&A volume is broadly in line with the past

Total Loan Volume ($B)
Loan volume for syndicated leveraged recapitalizations declined 77% in the third quarter
from the second quarter. Despite this decline, Duff & Phelps received many requests from
middle-market issuers for leveraged dividend recap transactions, and an abundance of
lenders interested in financing such transactions. We believe the overall decline in
dividend recap volume is likely transitory, as most loan issuance in the third quarter related
to M&A and LBO activities - perhaps a sign that sponsors and issuers may have shifted
focus to growth opportunities to remain relevant.

Yields U.S. non-investment-grade bond yields decreased 27bps this quarter, due to a decline in
Treasury yields, as well as lower default rates, resulting in lower risk premia. Yields on
widely traded leveraged loans decreased just 4bps from the previous quarter, as LIBOR
rose 6bps, offsetting much of the benefit of lower default expectations.

Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018
In September 2018, Treasury yields reached their highest level since 2011 - due in large
part to macroeconomic strength, including positive job market news and rising inflation
data. In the Fed’s September statement, language characterizing monetary policy as
“accommodative” was removed, likely signaling a new phase of Fed tightening in light of
strong economic growth.

Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018
The spread between 2- and 10-year Treasury yields decreased by approximately 9bps
over the quarter, ending at a spread of just 24bps as the yield curve continued to flatten.
The effects of the trade war and monetary policy tightening seem to be constraining
long-term growth expectations and keeping long-term rates from moving significantly
higher, with the difference between short- and long-term Treasury rates at the lowest
level since 2007.

Capital Markets Insights – Late Fall 2018

  • 1. Capital Markets Insights L a t e F a l l 2 0 1 8 R e v i e w
  • 2. 2 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Highlights The Fed hiked rates another quarter- point in September, as widely anticipated, and dropped the longstanding “accommodative” language from its formal statement. Private debt and equity dry powder continued to build, supporting higher LBO purchase multiples and contributing to lower credit spreads. Rising borrowing costs have resulted in a significant decline in refinancing activity YTD particularly in the third quarter. In conjunction with the 25bps interest rate hike in September, the Fed, taking a hawkish stance on monetary policy, raised its economic outlook and dropped the “accommodative” language that has long been a component of its formal statement. In August, the Bank of England (BOE) raised interest rates, citing a strong labor market and credit growth. UK economic growth rebounded in the second quarter following a slowdown in the first quarter, which the BOE attributes largely to weather. One of the most significant risk to economic growth remains Brexit negotiations between the UK and European Union. Private debt and equity dry powder continued to build, supporting higher leveraged buyout (LBO) purchase multiples and lower credit spreads. This trend may continue to result in private credit funds and direct lenders gaining market share from banks - despite loosening regulations. Lending standards have remained more rigorous in the lower middle-market (<$25M EBITDA), where total leverage is largely holding below 6x and financial covenants remain intact (i.e., a limited number of covenant-lite or covenant-loose transactions). At the same time, we note diminishing underwriting standards at the upper end of the middle-market (>$25M EBITDA), which we attribute to the abundance of available capital (a result of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other non-direct origination sources). Rising borrowing costs have resulted in a significant decline in refinancing activity year-to-date (YTD), particularly in the third quarter. There has been a significant shift toward opportunistic financings for growth-related purposes and leveraged recapitalizations. As economic conditions continue to stoke M&A related activities and a hawkish Fed focuses on raising rates, we anticipate that the trend away from refinancings will likely continue. 2 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018
  • 3. 3 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Executive Summary In the U.S., the Fed provided yet more hawkish guidance in conjunction with its announcing a third quarter-point rate hike in September 2018, signaling a likely fourth 25bps rate hike in 2018 and four additional quarter-point hikes through 2020. The BOE, continuing on its path to tighter monetary policy, raised interest rates in August and indicated that if its macroeconomic forecasts prove out, it will likely increase rates further, albeit gradually. In light of the rising rate environment, we noted that refinancing activity is down significantly YTD. Replacing refinancing issuance, that dominated new issuance for the last several years, has been an increase in acquisition- related financings and recapitalization transactions. To support growth, we have noted anecdotally for middle-market issuances that delayed draw term loans have become a key component of many financings, and are likely being used to fund growth capital expenditures and acquisitions. In these cases, draws typically are subject solely to pro forma covenant compliance. We note that underwriting standards have become less rigorous at the upper end of the middle-market (>$25M EBITDA) due to the abundance of available capital (a result of the proliferation of CLOs and other non-direct origination sources). At the same time, as Rich Jander, managing director at Maranon Capital, noted, “Lending standards have remained more fastidious in the lower middle-market (<$25M EBITDA), where leverage is largely holding below 6x and financial covenants remain intact (i.e., not seeing covenant-lite or covenant-loose transactions).” Jander continued that “with interest rates rising, lenders, in recent weeks, are becoming more selective around businesses viewed as cyclical, and are favoring businesses with strong underlying demographic trends.” Loan spreads continue to tighten, particularly with institutional lending sources, as lenders compete with each other on rate and as default risk remains very low. In addition, the recent increase in the LIBOR rate has allowed lenders to reduce spread and maintain all-in yields. Ted Koenig, president and CEO at Monroe Capital, said “We believe that private credit funds and direct lenders will continue to gain market share against banks, despite loosening leveraged lending regulatory guidelines. We are starting to see larger unitranche products (some instances of covenant-lite), as well as direct lenders taking significantly larger bite-sizes than they have traditionally done in the past.” Koenig further noted that “private equity and private debt dry powder levels continue to build, pushing LBO purchase price multiples higher and spreads tighter. Credit quality will potentially suffer as more companies are coming for sale sooner than they should in order to take advantage of the current supply and demand imbalance.” Tighter spreads have largely offset rising base rates to date; but with overall rates rising, refinancing issuance has abated, and new issuance has shifted significantly toward more opportunistic financings for growth-related and leveraged recapitalization transactions. We anticipate this trend will likely continue so long as the credit markets and economic conditions warrant.

  • 7. 7 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Third-quarter U.S. high-yield issuance volume of $43B and the number of new issuances (67) declined from the previous quarter by 7% and 25%, respectively. High- yield issuance continued to decelerate, with September posting its lowest issuance volume since 2011, and YTD issuance volume down 29% versus the prior YTD period. In light of an increasingly hawkish Fed and rising rates, investors and issuers alike seemed to favor the leverage loan market.

  • 8. 8 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Second-quarter high-yield issuance volume of €12B and number of new issuances (32) were lower versus the prior quarter by 46% and 40%, respectively. This is a trend that has been repeated in each of the past five years apart from the third quarter of 2016. While, on the whole, conditions in the market remain attractive for both lenders and borrowers, it is clear that high-yield is taking a back seat to the loan market-with lack of supply being of particular concern.

  • 12. 12 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Both bond funds and leveraged loan funds saw modest inflows. In particular, bond funds experienced a net inflow of nearly $2B in the third quarter after an inflow of almost $4B in the second quarter. Leveraged loan fund flows had another quarter of inflow following a strong gain of more than $5B in the second quarter.

  • 14. 14 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Leverage European middle-market leverage levels continued to increase in the third quarter, with first-lien and total leverage at 5.0x and 5.2x, respectively. Total leverage of 5.2x represents the highest level for the European market since Q1 2008 and, on a year-to- date basis, the highest level since 2007. The swell in M&A activity and the excess supply of capital is largely driving the surge in leverage.

  • 16. 16 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 European middle-market M&A deal-making fell in the second quarter, with transaction volume declining 20% and the number of deals declining 8% from the prior quarter. While M&A volume was lower in Q3, year-to-date M&A volume is broadly in line with the past three years. The drop in third-quarter European volume largely reflects the wider geopolitical uncertainty overshadowing the financial and regulatory prospects of some deals.

Despite this decline, Duff & Phelps received many requests from middle-market issuers for leveraged dividend recap transactions, and an abundance of lenders interested in financing such transactions. We believe the overall decline in dividend recap volume is likely transitory, as most loan issuance in the third quarter related to M&A and LBO activities - perhaps a sign that sponsors and issuers may have shifted focus to growth opportunities to remain relevant.

  • 18. 18 Capital Markets Insights | Late Fall 2018 Yields U.S. non-investment-grade bond yields decreased 27bps this quarter, due to a decline in Treasury yields, as well as lower default rates, resulting in lower risk premia. Yields on widely traded leveraged loans decreased just 4bps from the previous quarter, as LIBOR rose 6bps, offsetting much of the benefit of lower default expectations.
