Issuer Comment: Clondalkin's disposal of packaging distribution business is credit positive
Global Credit Research - 18 Mar 2013
On 18 March 2013, Dutch packaging group Clondalkin (corporate family rating: B3 negative; probability of default rating: Caa1-PD) announced that it has agreed to sell its packaging distribution business, the Van der Windt Group, to Paardekooper Group (not rated), a packaging distribution business based in the Netherlands for total proceeds of EUR 68.5 million.
The transaction is credit positive for Clondalkin as it is a first step to tackle its upcoming debt maturities of in total EUR 580 million that need to be refinanced over the next 12 months. We believe the successful divestment of Van der Windt Group is an important milestone that will support an orderly refinancing in two ways: (i) it will moderately reduce leverage measured by debt/EBITDA and thus make Clondalkin's credit profile more appealing to bond investors; and (ii) it will provide Clondalkin with additional cash that can be used to repay debt and thus reduce the overall amount to be refinanced.
The transaction values the Van der Windt Group at EUR 68.5 million or 7.8 times its 2012 EBITDA of EUR 8.8 million. While Clondalkin's leverage will remain high the divestment supports the group's deleveraging efforts. Pro forma the transaction we estimate net debt/EBITDA of 5.8x for 2012 (as adjusted by Moody's) which compares favorably to a current net debt/EBITDA of 6.0x.
Clondalkin expects net proceeds from the transaction at completion to be approximately EUR 65 million before fees. At year end 2012, Clondalkin's cash position amounted to EUR 113 million, so that we calculate a cash position pro forma the divestment of EUR 178 million. In total, Clondalkin has EUR 580 million of financial debt, thereof EUR 414 million coming due in December 2013 and EUR 170 million in March 2014.
However, Clondalkin is still exposed to near-term debt maturities with still high amounts of debt outstanding and due to the continued high leverage, the rating B3 CFR/Caa1-PD PDR remain unchanged with a negative outlook. The negative outlook reflects uncertainty regarding a timely refinancing of the group's significant debt maturities which represent all of the group's debt financing arrangements. With the high net leverage, we caution that Clondalkin could be challenged to implement a successful refinancing, despite currently benign high yield capital market conditions.
Clondalkin is a leading converter of niche packaging products. In 2012, the company recorded sales of EUR 951 million, of which about two thirds were generated in Europe and one third in North America. Clondalkin is owned by Warburg Pincus and management.
