Friday, October 30th, 2020

Royal Bank of Canada has announced (on October 26):

With respect to any Series BF shares that remain outstanding after November 24, 2020, holders will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed rate non-cumulative preferential cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Royal Bank of Canada, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act (Canada).

The dividend rate for the 5-year period from and including November 24, 2020 to, but excluding, November 24, 2025 will be 3.00% for the Series BF shares, being equal to the 5-Year Government of Canada bond yield determined as of October 26, 2020 plus 2.62%, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Series BF shares.

With respect to any Series BG shares that may be issued on November 24, 2020, holders will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate non-cumulative preferential cash dividends, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such quarterly period divided by 365, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Royal Bank of Canada, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act (Canada).

The dividend rate for the floating rate period from and including November 24, 2020 to, but excluding, February 24, 2021 will be 2.71% for the Series BG shares, being equal to the 3-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield determined as of October 26, 2020 plus 2.62%, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Series BG shares.

Beneficial owners of Series BF shares who wish to exercise their conversion rights should instruct their broker or other nominee to exercise such rights on or prior to the deadline for notice of intention to convert, which is 5:00 p.m. (EST) on November 9, 2020.

DBRS finalized the rating on the CWB LRCNs at BB(high):

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) finalized its provisional rating of BB (high) with a Negative trend on Canadian Western Bank’s (CWB or the Bank) NVCC Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Limited Recourse Capital Notes (the Capital Notes).

Following the review of documentation associated with the recent offering, DBRS Morningstar confirmed that the terms of the issuance are consistent with those reviewed at the time the provisional rating was assigned on October 23, 2020. For further details on the provisional rating, please see the DBRS Morningstar press release entitled “DBRS Morningstar Assigns Provisional Rating of BB (high), Negative, to Canadian Western Bank’s NVCC Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Limited Recourse Capital Notes.”

The Bank plans to issue $175 million of Capital Notes on October 30, 2020. The Capital Notes mature on April 30, 2081, and will have an initial five-year fixed rate of 6.00%. DBRS Morningstar notes that the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions granted Tier 1 capital treatment to the Capital Notes.

RATING DRIVERS
Given the Negative trend, an upgrade is unlikely at this time. The trend could change to Stable if the impact of the current economic crisis on CWB’s earnings and credit quality metrics is manageable.

Conversely, material losses in the loan portfolio as a result of the oil price shock and a longer-than-expected adverse impact of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, or significant pressures on funding and liquidity, could result in a rating downgrade.

TXPR closed at 578.55, down 0.69% on the day. Volume today was 2.15-million, above the median of the past thirty days.

CPD closed at 11.52, down 0.99% on the day. Volume was 189,115, above the median of the past 30 trading days.

ZPR closed at 9.06, down 1.52% on the day. Volume of 258,409, about the median of the past 30 trading days.

Five-year Canada yields were up 1bp at 0.37% today.

The damage has been attributed to the usual suspect:

Coronavirus flare-ups across the United States and new lockdown measures in major European economies sent stocks sliding to their worst performance in months on Wednesday.

The S&P 500 ended the day 3.5 percent lower, notching the market’s third straight decline and the worst drop for Wall Street since June 11.

The decline wiped out the S&P’s gains for the month as investors dumped shares. All 11 sectors fell as traders jettisoned stocks in economically sensitive sectors like energy. Even tech was squeezed — the tech giants were once thought to be almost immune to the economic effects of the virus. Treasury yields fell as investors sought the safety of government bonds, and economic nervousness pushed oil prices down: Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell 5.5 percent to $37.39 a barrel.

As recently as Oct. 12, the S&P 500 was up more than 9 percent for the year, as investors seemed to grow more confident that Congress and the White House would be able to produce a new dose of federal stimulus before the election.

Even before trading opened in New York, European markets were enduring an ugly session. Major markets slid 4.2 percent in Germany and 3.4 percent in France. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index declined nearly 3 percent. As the U.S. trading day unfolded, Germany announced a new one-month partial lockdown aimed at stemming a surge of infections. France followed, announcing a full nationwide lockdown for the second time in 2020.

The United States, too, is suffering a renewed wave of coronavirus infections: The number of Covid-19 hospitalizations is up an estimated 46 percent over the last month. And New Jersey’s largest city, Newark, imposed a curfew and reinstated some limits on gatherings to control an outbreak there.

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.13%, equivalent to 6.67% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.98%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has remained steady at the 370bp reported October 21.

CVE To Acquire HSE

Tuesday, October 27th, 2020

Husky Energy Inc. has announced:

a transaction to create a new integrated Canadian oil and natural gas company with an advantaged upstream and downstream portfolio that is expected to provide enhanced free funds flow generation and superior return opportunities for investors.

The companies have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement under which Cenovus and Husky will combine in an all-stock transaction valued at $23.6 billion, inclusive of debt. The combined company will operate as Cenovus Energy Inc. and remain headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Cenovus and Husky and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021.

Transaction highlights:

  • Accretive to all shareholders on cash flow and free funds flow per share
  • Anticipated annual run rate synergies of $1.2 billion, largely achieved within the first year, independent of commodity prices
  • Expected free funds flow break-even at West Texas Intermediate (WTI) pricing of US$36 per barrel (bbl) in 2021, and at less than WTI US$33/bbl by 2023
  • Low exposure to Western Canadian Select (WCS) locational differential risk while maintaining healthy exposure to global commodity prices
  • Increased and more stable cash flows support investment grade credit profile
  • Net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA ratio of less than 2x expected to be achieved in 2022
  • Anticipated quarterly dividend of $0.0175 per share (upon Board approval) and positioned for consistent growth
  • Husky shareholders will receive 0.7845 of a Cenovus share plus 0.0651 of a Cenovus share purchase warrant in exchange for each Husky common share


The transaction is structured through a plan of arrangement in respect of the securities of Husky under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), and is subject to the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Husky common shares. Hutchison Whampoa Europe Investments S.à r.l., which holds 40.19% of the Husky common shares and L.F. Investments S.à r.l., which holds 29.32% of the Husky common shares, have each entered into a separate irrevocable voting support agreement with Cenovus pursuant to which each has committed to vote all of its Husky common shares, representing, in total, approximately 70% of the Husky common shares, in favour of the transaction at the special meeting of Husky shareholders. In addition, Husky will also seek the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of outstanding Husky preferred shares voting together as a single class. If Husky preferred shareholder approval is obtained, each Husky preferred share will be exchanged for one Cenovus preferred share with substantially the same commercial terms and conditions as the Husky preferred shares. The transaction is not conditional on Husky preferred shareholder approval and, if not obtained, the Husky preferred shares will remain outstanding in a subsidiary of the combined company.

As a consequence DBRS placed HSE under Review-Negative:

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) placed Husky Energy Inc.’s (Husky or the Company) Issuer Rating and Senior Unsecured Notes and Debentures rating of BBB (high), Commercial Paper rating of R-2 (high), and Preferred Shares – Cumulative rating of Pfd-3 (high) Under Review with Negative Implications.

DBRS Morningstar assesses the business risk profile of the Combined Entity to be moderately stronger relative to Husky’s stand-alone business risk profile. However, the Under Review with Negative Implications status reflects DBRS Morningstar’s opinion that the impact of the stronger business risk profile will be more than offset by the weakness in the financial risk profile of the Combined Entity due to a material increase in debt levels at close and weaker financial metrics.

DBRS Morningstar expects to resolve the Under Review with Negative Implications status by the close of the transaction. Assuming the transaction closes as described in the plan of arrangement and based on DBRS Morningstar’s assumptions, the ratings of Husky by close is likely to be one notch lower than its current ratings.

… while placing CVE under Review-Positive:

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) placed Cenovus Energy Inc.’s (Cenovus or the Company) Issuer Rating and Senior Unsecured Debt rating of BBB (low) Under Review with Positive Implications.

The Under Review with Positive Implications status reflects DBRS Morningstar’s opinion that the Combined Entity’s overall risk profile will be stronger relative to Cenovus’s stand-alone risk profile given the material improvement in the business risk profile and a modest improvement in the financial risk profile.

DBRS Morningstar expects to resolve the Under Review with Positive Implications status by the close of the transaction. Assuming the transaction closes as described in the plan of arrangement and based on DBRS Morningstar’s assumptions, the ratings of Cenovus by close is likely to be one notch higher than its current ratings.

Meanwhile, S&P placed HSE on Review-Negative:

  • On Oct. 25, 2020, Husky Energy Inc. and Cenovus Energy Inc. announced their intention to merge under a plan of arrangement.
  • At the close of the transaction, Husky’s existing shareholders will own 39% of the combined company, which will operate under the Cenovus name.
    Upon completion, we expect the ownership interest of entities related to C.K. Hutchison Holdings Ltd. (A/Stable/–) will fall to 27%; accordingly, the one-notch uplift we currently apply to our issuer credit rating on Husky, based on our assessment of Husky as a moderately strategic investment for C.K. Hutchison, would no longer apply.

  • As a result, S&P Global Ratings placed all of its ratings on Husky, including its ‘BBB’ long-term issuer credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative implications.
  • We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placement when the transaction closes in the first quarter of 2021. The downside risk to all ratings is limited to one notch.


Despite the normalizing cash flow contribution from the company’s midstream assets and downstream operations, we expect the heavy oil-dominant upstream product mix will continue to amplify cash flow volatility. Our projected two-year (2021-2022) cash flow and leverage metrics, and overall financial risk profile estimate pro forma adjusted funds from operations to debt in the mid 20% area.

We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placement when the transaction is completed in the first quarter of 2021. The rating downside on the issuer credit rating on Husky is limited to one notch.

… while retaining the Negative Outlook for CVE:

  • On Oct. 25, 2020, Cenovus Energy Inc. and Husky Energy Inc. announced their intention to combine in an all-stock transaction valued at C$23.6 billion, under a plan of arrangement. The new integrated Canadian oil and natural gas company will operate under the Cenovus name.
  • At closing, pro forma share ownership for Cenovus and Husky shareholders is estimated at 61% and 39%, respectively. We expect the ownership interest of entities related to Husky’s major shareholder, C.K. Hutchison Holdings Ltd. (A/Stable/–), will decrease to about 27% of the pro forma company.
  • We take into account our ‘BBB-‘ issuer credit rating on Cenovus, and the ‘bbb-‘ stand-alone credit profile on Husky, before rating enhancement for Husky’s strategic relationship with its major shareholder, also at the same level.
  • S&P Global Ratings affirmed its ‘BBB-‘ long-term issuer credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on Cenovus.
  • The outlook remains negative pending completion of the combination.


The negative outlook continues to reflect the very weak near-term leverage metrics, and the risk cash flow and leverage ratios could underperform our base-case assumptions, if hydrocarbon prices again weaken beyond 2020. The substantial deterioration of the current year’s cash flow ratios highlights the company’s vulnerability to volatility in crude oil prices and heavy oil differentials, as bitumen production will continue to account for the majority of Cenovus’ upstream product mix.

In an environment of persistently weak crude oil prices and weak refining margins, we could lower the rating to ‘BB+’ if our estimate of the company’s three-year, weighted-average FFO-to-debt ratio remained near 20%, with limited prospects for improvement during our 24-month outlook period.

With the company’s capital spending expected to remain near maintenance levels throughout our 24-month rating outlook period, we believe cash flow metrics could only improve in tandem with rising crude oil prices. We could revise our outlook to stable if Cenovus was able to strengthen and sustain its three-year, weighted-average FFO-to-debt ratio at the upper end of the 20%-30% range, while continuing to generate positive discretionary cash flow (DCF).

Affected issues are HSE.PR.A, HSE.PR.B, HSE.PR.C, HSE.PR.E and HSE.PR.G.

Assiduous Reader ER writes in and says:

I was wondering if you could talk about what might happen to Husky preferred share holders on prefblog. What are the possible outcomes?

Assuming that the deal goes through, there are two possibilities for the HSE preferreds:

  • They are replaced by equivalent CVE preferreds, or
  • They remain as HSE preferreds, with HSE becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVE

Of the two possibilities, the second is preferable for the preferred shareholders, since HSE is the better credit. Thus, I suggest that HSE preferred shareholders vote against the deal in order to ensure the continued existence of the HSE entity.

The logical thing for CVE to do to avoid this would be to offer a little sweetener to the preferred shareholders to vote yes … a few beeps extra on the Issue Reset Spreads, for instance, or an outright cash payment. This, however, would be a very rare happening.

ZPR closed at 9.16, unchanged on the day. Volume of 133,121 was well below the median of the past 30 trading days.

Five-year Canada yields were unchanged at 0.39% today.

Equities had a bad day, attributed to a familiar culprit:

A rise in coronavirus cases in the United States, new restrictions on activity in Europe and a standoff in Washington over aid for struggling businesses and out-of-work Americans left investors reeling on Monday.

The S&P 500 fell 1.9 percent in Wall Street’s worst day in over a month.

Shares in Europe also ended lower as more limits were introduced to try to combat a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. In Spain, the government declared a state of emergency and imposed a nighttime curfew. In Italy, cinemas and gyms are closing and indoor dining ending at 6 p.m. In France, a six-week curfew for most of the country began on Friday.

October 21, 2020

Wednesday, October 21st, 2020

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.07%, equivalent to 6.59% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.91%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to 370bp from the 365bp reported October 14.
