A.T.U to release FY 2010 annual report tomorrow
Speculative “buy” on the ATUGRP Float 6M +725 bps 10/14 at 85 (discount margin of 1,280 bps); hold ATUGRP 11% 05/14 at 102/103 (Z+761/723 bps)
A.T.U will release its FY 2010 report tomorrow. Given that the company already released detailed preliminary figures we do not expect major surprises. Possibly, there will be some more colour on the purchase agreement (termination of an operating lease) for the distribution center in Weiden and an updated market outlook. A.T.U will release its Q1 report on May 12th. While we expect a high cash burn in Q1 due to seasonal patterns (also potentially some shift of revenues from Q1 into Q2) and the purchase of the distribution center in Weiden, we believe the company’s strong focus on free cash and the changed business model will enable it to serve its high debt load. We keep our “High Risk” assessment on the LARA scale and have a “buy” recommendation on the subordinated FRN as we believe management has successfully aligned the company to the challenging market conditions.
