Fitch Expects to Rate Harley-Davidson Financial's Unsecured Notes 'A'
16 MAY 2018 10:08 AM ET
Fitch Ratings-New York-16 May 2018: Fitch Ratings expects to assign an 'A' rating to Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc.'s (HDFS) proposed issuance of two-year floating rate and three-year fixed rate senior unsecured medium term notes (MTNs). The interest rate will be determined at the time of issuance. HDFS is the captive subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG; A/Stable), a manufacturer of motorcycles.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
IDRs AND SENIOR DEBT
The expected rating reflects that the debt is expected to rank pari passu with all other senior unsecured notes issued by HDFS. The equalization of the expected rating with HDFS' Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) reflects the predominately unsecured funding profile and unencumbered asset coverage available to senior noteholders.
Fitch does not expect any material impact to HDFS' leverage resulting from the issuance, as issuance proceeds will be used to refinance upcoming debt maturities, including $877.5 million of debt coming due in June 2018. Leverage, defined as total debt divided by tangible equity, was 6.8x at March 31, 2018 (1Q18) compared to 6.5x at 1Q17, which remains within the firm's historical range of 5.0x to 7.0x. Fitch notes that HDFS' leverage is moderately lower than captive finance company peers.
HDFS' and HOG's ratings are equalized, as Fitch believes that HDFS is a core subsidiary of HOG as demonstrated by the explicit and implicit level of support between the two entities. HDFS' ratings reflect its close operating relationship and support agreement with HOG, under which the parent must maintain HDFS' fixed-charge coverage at 1.25x and its minimum net worth at $40 million.
