Petrobras (BB- / Ba2 / BB-) Oil & Gas


Our view: Petrobras bonds remain attractive in our view, trading on average 90-120bps over the Brazil sovereign, compared to a 40-
50bps spread pick-up for Ecopetrol vs. Colombia. We believe bonds could tighten further to 80bps vs. the sovereign as Petrobras
continues on its path of production growth (~5%/Y), asset sales and deleverage, with an increased focus on E&P, operating efficiency
and better governance standards. We believe PBR could achieve its 1.5x net leverage target already in 2019, factoring in expected
FCFs and the recently announced TAG sale (US$8.6bn) and ToR settlement (US$9.1bn).

Asset sales: Since 2015, PBR sold 21 assets for a total US$21bn and last Friday it announced the sale of its 90% stake in TAG to
ENGIE for US$8.6bn. PBR has a relevant pipeline of additional asset sales, including oil fields, Braskem (36% stake worth US$3.8bn),
sale of control of BR Distribuidora (71% stake worth US$5.2bn), Liquigás (US$0.5bn), among others. Yet, the most transformational
milestone would be the privatization of its refining business, breaking PBR’s monopoly and reducing the room for political misuse in
the future (fuel price policy). At 7x EV/EBITDA, we estimate PBR could sell 50% of its refining capacity for US$22bn.

Transfer of Rights: On April 9th, the government agreed to pay US$9.1bn to PBR as part of the ToR renegotiation. Timing and
method of payment remains unclear, depending on the success of the upcoming auction for excess barrels (in October). There is
further upside from the reimbursement to be done by winners of the auction for all capex PBR has already deployed in the region.

Recent: (i) strong FY18 with US$31bn EBITDA and US$15bn FCF, driving net leverage to 2.3x and comfortable US$15bn liquidity
(vs. US$3.7bn ST debt); (ii) recent business plan featured a welcome leverage target of 1.5x by 2020 and a reiterated focus on E&P
(86% of capex in 2018); (iii) corporate governance and decision-making have improved materially over past years, with creation of
committees to monitor related party transactions, better decision making processes and actions to prevent fraud and corruption.

Risks: (i) oil & FX volatility; (ii) timely deployment of FPSOs & production growth; (iii) contingent liabilities; (iv) potential return of
political interference (fuel price policy & investment strategies); (v) ratings capped by sovereign, despite BB+ Fitch standalone rating.

Ecopetrol (BBB- / Baa3 / BBB) Oil and Gas


Our view: Ecopetrol has continued to deleverage nicely, boosted by greater cost efficiency and lower capex. But oil reserves continue
to be a concern and we expect the company to start to have some upstream dividend pressure. Considering the fiscal situation of the
Colombian government and EC’s difficulty in finding projects to invest in, we expect higher dividends going forward. In 2018, we already
observed the payout ratio rising to 80% (vs. dividend policy of 40-60%) and the total contribution to the Colombian government soared
to 1.5% of GDP (vs. 0.6% of GDP observed in 2017). We believe EC bonds offer limited value, with a tight pick-up vs. the sovereign -
EC 26s (4.2% YTW & 218bps z-spread) trade 55bps over the Colombian Sov (vs. ~95bps in late 2018 prior to the correction in oil
prices). In fact, the spread tightening goes against the increased pressure on CF generation from the higher capex requirements and
increased dividend payout.

Recent: (i) good set of 4Q18 results, with EBITDA up 72% y/y. EC posted Q4 FCF generation (ex one-offs) of US$632mn and net
leverage declined to 1x; (ii) Ecopetrol proposed dividend implies a payout ratio of 78%; (iii) 2021 guidance unveiled: total production
to range between 750-770 kboed (CAGR18-21 of 0.8/1.7%) while investing US$12-15bn with ROIC above 11% (capex of US$4-
5bn/year implies an increase of 37-72% against 2018).

Strengths: i) large scale and vertically integrated operations with diversified revenues; (ii) experienced management team; (iii)
strategic importance, as Colombia's leading oil and gas producer (2/3 of the country's production, 100% of refining capacity and
distribution).

Concerns: (i) limited FCF generation prospects as we’d expect excess cash flows to be applied to capex/E&P; (ii) sustainability/growth
of production in long term vs. lower capex execution and relatively low reserve life; (iii) inherent risks to industry (oil & gas price
volatility, cost overruns/delays, environmental risks, macro environment, etc); (iv) sovereign’s ability to support the company (or
pressure to increase dividend payouts).

Pemex (BBB+ {Neg} / Baa3 / BBB- {Neg}) Oil and Gas


Our view: Pemex faces a material risk of downgrade and loss of its IG rating, as a result of continued negative FCF generation with
underinvestment (failure to stabilize production and reserves decline) and large transfers to the government (government fails to
support Pemex). A sovereign downgrade would likely tip the scales, as would measures in the wrong direction (such as higher
downstream capex or domestic price controls). Measures to stabilize Pemex’s B/S and ratings would require drastic support measures
by the government. Short of the government formally guaranteeing Pemex’s debt or undertaking a massive recapitalization, the best
path to avoid a rating decline seems a reduction of the level of transfers from Pemex to the government, thus allowing Pemex to boost
investments and stabilize production. The recent track record seems unfavorable and measures announced so far seem to fall short
of the company’s real needs. So far, the new administration seems unwilling to undertake the strong measures Pemex really needs.
Pemes 27s currently trade 230bps wide to the sovereign, ~100bps above the time of the issuance 1 year ago. We see room for further
widening, considering the selloff pressure the bonds would face in case of IG loss.

Recent: (i) S&P attributed a negative outlook to the sovereign and consequently to PEMEX, highlighting lower growth prospects and
higher contingent liabilities, while pointing that the new strategy for the energy sector places an added burden on the highly indebted
company; (ii) Fitch downgraded PEMEX to BBB- with negative outlook, reflecting the deterioration of Pemex’s standalone credit profile
to CCC (from B-) and a lower assessment of the government’s incentive to support the company to ‘strong’ from ‘very strong’, resulting
in a rating two notches below the sovereign; (iii) recently announced support measures include a US$1.3bn (MXN25bn) capital
increase, which pales in comparison with the 2019 budget of US$27bn (MXN520bn) in oil revenues (10% of total). Adjustments to the
tax regime seem insufficient to fix Pemex’s capital structure (the company estimates the government take would decline by MXN 11bn
in 2019). The flagship Dos Bocas refinery project (estimated at MXN50bn) would offset most of those benefits.

Strengths: (i) large scale and reserves; (ii) strategic importance to the country, as Mexico’s leading oil and gas producer.

Concerns (i) persistent negative FCF; (ii) excessive distribution to the government (tax burden ~90% of EBITDA); (iii) very high post
tax leverage metrics; (iv) declining production over the past years (down 28% since 2013; -15% throughout 2018); (iv) under-
investment in the upstream business; (v) potential loss of the IG rating as Pemex’s requires very relevant government support to
stabilize its balance sheet (massive capitalizations or drastic tax cuts, allowing it to boost investments and stabilize production).

Canacol (B1 / BB-) Oil and Gas


Our view: We believe that Canacol is still widely perceived as a junior oil E&P company when effectively it became a quasi take-or-
pay gas utility over the past 5 years. After the acquisition and successful exploration of OGX gas fields in Colombia, the company
joined forces with Promigas to develop pipelines to connect customers, achieving 90% contracting (for 7Y) of its 130Mcfpd capacity.
Capacity will increase by another 100Mcfpd once a new pipeline starts up (Jun-Sep 2019), which is expected to drive EBITDA up by
80%, placing Canacol in a position to generate positive FCFs and deleverage (with net leverage moving below 1x by 2020 from 2.3x
currently). Trading almost 100bps wide to GeoPark, we see good value in Canacol 25s (7.2% YTW) given its rather stable business.
We believe Canacol could receive rating upgrades over the next 2 years as production closes in on 40koebd, which today is constrained
by its scale and low diversification.

Recent: (i) Canacol reported a soft Q4, with revenues climbing 25% y/y, EBITDAX edging up 8% y/y and EBITDA margin reaching
61.6% (down 9.5pp y/y), limited by 19% y/y growth in production. (ii) Canacol announced it is planning to further extend its production
by 2021 up to 300Mcfpd, which would imply a CAGR18-21 of 35% (expected capex for the new expansion to Medellin/Cartagena of
US$300-350mn).

Strengths: (i) 90% of its capacity contracted; (ii) EBITDA expansion is a given once the new pipeline comes online (we expect CNE’s
production to soar 81% and reach 38 kboed (220Mcfpd); further expansions expected in 2021 with the Cartagena/Medellin pipeline;
(iii) dollarized prices with pass through mechanisms on variable costs; (iv) exploration success rate of 80%, with further upside to the
reserves;

Concerns: (i) execution risk & delays in delivery of the pipelines; (ii) higher than expected capex associated with pipelines; (iii) small
scale;

Geopark (B+ / B+) Oil and Gas


Our view: Our positive view on Geopark is based on the company’s execution track record, even under low oil prices. We believe,
GPRK can continue to grow in a sustainable and profitable way, leveraging on both its existing portfolio and M&A (bidding for available
assets in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Brasil), while maintaining a focus on financial discipline and value accretion. GeoPark bonds
tightened considerably since late 2018, when bonds peaked at 8.2% YTM & 570bps z-spread (trading wide do GT). GeoPark 2024s
trade at 6.24% YTW & 392bps z-spread, 77bps and 173bps inside Gran Tierra 25’ and Frontera 23’s, and 20bps over Latam Airlines.
At this point, we believe the notes are fairly priced, still offering a good carry with possible upside if oil prices continue to rise.

Recent: (i) strong Q4 results, with revenues up 42% y/y to US$151.2mn (US$601.2mn for FY, +82% y/y) and EBITDA up 55% y/y to
US$85.7mn (US$330.6mn for FY18, up 88% y/y), as production continues to ramp up reaching 38.7kbpd (up 4% q/q and 26% y/y).
Despite positive US$49mn FCF in FY18, net debt rose slightly to US$319mn, due to the acquisition of the LGI interests in Colombia
and Chile for US$81mn. Nonetheless, net leverage remained health below 1x; (ii) GPK won a bid for two new blocks in Ecuador in a
50/50 consortium with Frontera Energia (Geopark mandatory committed capex of US$30mn over 4 years); (iii) GPK is waiting for the
regulatory approval to move forward with the drilling in the Morona block in Peru (Capex requirements are US$120-130mn). Expected
first oil could be delayed to 2H20 (from 1Q20) if not approved by April (missing dry season for the works).

Strengths: (i) solid balance sheet and prudent capital structure management (currently below 1x net leverage); (ii) cost control and
financial discipline track record, even as it seeks out expansion opportunities; (iii) rising production and increased regional
diversification opportunities, (iv) one of the lower cost producers in Latam with all-in cash cost below US$40/b; (v) proven resilience,
having successfully navigated a scenario of lower oil prices, maintaining a flexible cost and capex structure.

Concerns: (i) small scale; (ii) inherent industry and exploration risks, very exposed to volatility in oil prices; (iii) credit metrics could be
pressured by more aggressive expansion, arising from expenditures related to new ventures (especially Peru Morona block), bidding
in upcoming auctions (Ecuador, Colombia, Petrobras assets, Mexico, etc) or acquisitions of partner’s stakes in current operations.

Braskem (BBB- / Ba1 / BBB-) Petrochemicals


Our view: Braskem poses an interesting case as we see bonds offering i) potential upside in case a deal between Odebrecht and
Lyondell is achieved as spreads converge closer to the LB curve (relative spread has recently widened to 84bps), or ii) a decent carry
otherwise (limited downside), trading at 30bps to the sovereign and in line with other IG peers. Negotiations between ODB and LB are
still ongoing, but we expect a deal to be announced this year, with Petrobras likely tagging along and signing a LT naphtha supply
agreement (key for the deal). On a standalone basis, we expect Braskem to continue to report conservative financial metrics, despite
lower petrochemical spreads dampening FCF generation.

Recent: (i) Q4: while domestic demand improved, FY results were impacted by the truckers’ strike in Brazil and electricity blackout in
the Northeast, impacting utilization rates; elsewhere, operations were also affected by a severe winter in the north, maintenance
shutdowns and lower ethane supply in Mexico; strong petrochemical spreads ensured record FCF generation in 2018 of R$7.1bn;
nonetheless, tighter petrochemical spreads in 4Q18 drove a relevant 47% q/q EBITDA contraction to R$1.9bn; (ii) 2019 capex guidance
at R$3.3bn (up 20% y/y) & new PP plant construction in the US 48% completed; (iii) R$2.67bn dividend proposed (100% of net
income); (iv) discussions between Odebrecht and LB on potential sale of Braskem began in June/2018.

Strengths: (i) solid track record of financial stewardship, with strong FCF generation, conservative leverage through the cycle, high
liquidity and long-term debt profile; (ii) leading position in petrochemical sector in Latam, strong market share in Brazil (65-70%), and
good pricing power; (iii) geographic & raw material diversification - 40% of EBTIDA from US, Europe and Mexico, while reliance on
naphtha as a feedstock declined to 37% (from 48% years ago); (iv) leniency agreement signed in Dec/2016 with Brazil, US &
Switzerland, establishing R$3.1bn (US$957mn) payable in up to 6 years – R$1.9bn has been paid down so far.

Concerns: (i) high dependence on PBR for feedstock supply; (ii) potential changes in feedstock agreement with Pemex, as a result of
new administration in Mexico – Pemex has been unable to deliver agreed-upon ethane volumes; (iii) highly cyclical industry exposed
to volatile FX, feedstock and petrochemicals; (iv) lower petrochemical spreads as new capacity is coming online; (v) risk of more
aggressive dividend payouts or expansion; (vi) covenant breach at BI project caused debt to be reclassified as ST; (vii) delayed 20-F.

Mexichem (BBB- / Baa3 / BBB) Oil and Gas


Our view: Despite the operational weakness and flattish EBITDA growth, we believe that Mexichem is a quality name within Mexico,
with low exposure to the domestic environment. 2019 results should be limited by shortage of ethane and excess caustic soda supply,
a scenario that shouldn’t change over the next 8-10 months. In the near term, we expect the integration of acquisitions to play smoothly,
increasing the share of specialties and revenues generated outside Mexico. We see limited upside for the bonds at current levels
(trading 105bps inside Cemex, 30bps inside Liverpool and 10bps over the sovereign). A Mexico-sentiment driven sell-off (like the one
seen during Oct-Nov last year) would be a good buy opportunity, given Mexichem’s low exposure to the country.

Recent: (i) 4Q18 EBITDA flat y/y at US$269mn, while revenues were up 15% y/y to US$1.68bn. Vinyil division: revenues up 3% y/y
to US$552mn and EBITDA down 38% y/y to US$93mn, with margins down 7.8p.p. y/y to 16.8% as PVC production costs continue to
affect division until new ethane distribution capacity starts operating. Fluent division: revenues up 29% y/y to US$985mn, driven by
the consolidation of Netafim and higher sales in AMEA/US/Canada, while EBITDA up 37% y/y to US$104mn (margin +60bps to 10.5%).
Fluor: revenues +4% y/y to US$193mn with EBITDA +16% y/y to US$79mn. Net leverage rose slightly to 2.05x (vs. 1.91x as of Q3).

Strengths: (i) low exposure to Mexico and exposure to US (more than 80% of EBITDA outside Mexico and ~25% of production in the
US); (ii) strong business position in PVC pipes throughout Latin America and Europe and on Fluorine, globally; (iii) ability to maintain
leverage on controlled levels despite increased capex and relevant M&A; (iv) increasing share of specialty products (60% of EBITDA
in 4Q18, up from 49% at 4Q17, and increasing); (v) high profitability, strong cash flow generation and low leverage; (vi) conservative
controlling shareholder who brings outside executives onboard to manage the global business

Concerns: (i) shortage of ethane and excess caustic soda supply; (ii) ongoing acquisition strategy (4 acquisitions over the past 4
years); (iii) new state tax on mining operations (marginal impacts); (iv) potential fluctuations in price of key raw materials (mostly
ethane) and dependence on PEMEX supply (Nafta manly, only affecting production in Mexico); (v) lack of short-term growth triggers.

Vale (BBB- {Neg} / Ba1 {Neg} / BBB- {Neg}) Metals & Mining
Our view: Vale 26s (4.7% YTW, 229bps z-spread) have recovered now trading tight to BB+ rated peers (30bps inside Ultrapar), 15-
20bps over Brazilian IG names and 40bps over the sovereign. While impacts from potential fines still look very uncertain, at this point
we expect Vale would be able to retain IG-compliant credit metrics, especially as the company suspended dividends and higher iron
ore prices help offset part/all of the lower expected production. Nonetheless, Moody’s downgrade to junk, which some may consider
premature, has heightened concerns of a similar move by S&P and Fitch. At this level, Vale bonds offer a fair carry and we continue
to see the bonds as a good buy on the dip opportunity.

Brumadinho: So far, the regrettable tailing dams catastrophe has led Vale’s production to be disrupted by ~ 90Mtpa): Brucutu
(30Mtpa), 40Mt capacity shutdown in its southern system, 12.8Mtpa at the Timbopeba mine (following operational setbacks with MG
authorities in March), and 10Mtpa at the Alegria mine (temporary and preventive stoppage by the company). More recently, a MG
court authorized the resumption of the Laranjeiras dam, which would allow the restart of Brucutu mine but shortly after decided for the
stoppage of Barragem Sul tailings dam, which is also fundamental for the mine operation.
Recent: (i) strong Q4, with US$4.5bn EBITDA & US$1.8bn FCF, driving leverage down to 0.5x and reported net debt to sub-US$10bn
levels; (ii) IO prices rallied to US$85/t and with the seaborne market entering a period of more sustained deficits there’s room for it to
rally further. (iii) Feb/2019: Moody’s downgraded Vale to Ba1 (negative outlook), on the back of the increased uncertainties the disaster
may have on the company’s credit profile.
Strengths: (i) very low cost structure (4Q C1 cash costs out at US$12.8/t); (ii) strong financial discipline, with net debt declining to
US$14bn, strong liquidity & long-term debt profile; (iii) very high iron ore prices (driven by the supply shortages from Vale itself) is
partly/fully offsetting the volume disruption; (iv) strong FCFs and dividend cuts allow the company room to absorb potential liabilities.

Concerns: (i) risk of further supply cuts and regulatory/legal restrictions; (ii) reputational damage and fines impacting the credit ratings
and leading to exclusion of ESG mandates; (iii) slow transition to dry iron ore processing (target of reaching 70% by 2023); (iv) potential
cash outflows related to Samarco, with visibility even lower after recent events.

Gerdau (BBB- {Pos} / Ba1 {Pos} / BBB-) Metals & Mining


Our view: Having been able to sustain consistently positive FCF generation and engaged in R$7bn asset sales over the past three
years, Gerdau has able to maintain a healthy capital structure, with net leverage now at 1.7x. Going forward, we expect FCF to be
curtailed as investments accelerate, but maintaining a very conservative leverage between 1-1.5x. Gerdau bonds have captured the
upside from its deleveraging cycle, now trading rather tight to other IG peers and the sovereign, with the Gerdau 27s (4.5% YTW,
214bps z-spread) trading 15bps inside Suzano, 20bps inside Braskem and 15bps to the sovereign. Nonetheless, we point out Gerdau
44s offer an interesting 143bps spread pick-up to the 27s and a 54bps pick-up to the sovereign.

Recent: (i) Investor Day highlights: 1) medium-term net leverage of 1-1.5x, 2) positive FCF despite the new investment cycle, and 3)
solid volumes outlook in Brazil; (ii) announcement of new 3-year capex plan of R$7.1bn and increase in dividend payout policy, (iii) in
April, the company announced a 10% price hike for long steel; (iv) weak Q4 results, with EBITDA down 30% q/q to R$1.4bn, driven
by lower profitability in specialty steel, lower DM volumes in Brazil and weak results from its LatAm unit (US delivered strong 10%
margins). The balance sheet continued to improve as the company delivered ~R$2bn FCF (driven by a R$1.4bn WK release), with net
leverage reaching a very comfortable 1.7x (down from 2.2x in Q3 and 3.0x a year ago).

Strengths: (i) management committed to deleveraging, remaining FCF positive throughout economic & commodity cycles, due to a
strong focus on cost controls, capex discipline, WK optimization and asset sales (R$7bn in past 3 years); (ii) geographic diversification
(~70% revenues from exports or abroad); (iii) strong liquidity, smooth debt profile, good access to capital markets & banks; (iv) play
on the Brazilian turnaround story, walking into a cycle of demand growth; (v) vertical integration in the scrap market and flexible
business model (75% of output from mini-mills).

Concerns: (i) slow recovery in Brazil driving sluggish volumes; (ii) risk of higher competition from imports (still muted), (iii) new
investment cycle and more dividends curtailing FCF generation.

CSN (CCC+ {Pos} / B3 / B-) Metals & Mining


Our view: CSN has been benefitting from stronger operational performance, soaring iron ore prices, low interest rates, improving steel
industry in Brazil (sales mix, better international prices, gradual domestic recovery allowing price adjustments, low imports). We expect
continued strong FCF generation and asset sales (SWT, Usiminas preferred shares, iron ore streaming deal, etc) to drive CSN’s net
leverage to 3x by YE, providing room for further spread tightening. The recent IO prepayment deal boosts liquidity and increases
investors’ confidence in other potential transactions and in deleveraging. CSN bonds are an attractive play in our view, with the 23s
(7% YTW, 468bps z), newly issued 26s (7.785% YTM) and perps (7.86% YTW) offering tightening potential and a good carry. The
new 26s priced 60bps over Marfrig 25s, 40bps inside Gol 25s and the 23s trade 90bps wide to Marfrig 23s & 15 wide to Light 23s.

Recent: (i) solid Q4: R$1.56bn EBITDA (-4% q/q, +30% y/y), with healthy IO realized prices, and R$817mn FCF (partly due to WK)
driving leverage to 4.55x; (ii) US$500mn 5Y IO prepayment deal for 22Mt with Glencore (quasi-debt), (iii) rating agencies still deem
CSN’s capital structure unsustainable & requiring further monetization (>R$3bn); (iv) management: targeting 3x leverage by YE, 10-
15% steel price hikes in March, auto industry prices were readjusted by 25% in January, expect weaker steel demand in Q1 to rebound
in Q2; (v) CSN received bids for SWT, under negotiation; a streaming deal of up to US$1bn is also imminent acc to mgmt; (vi) liability
management for 2019/2020 bonds substantially improves debt profile and liquidity, raising odds for a rating upgrade.
Strengths: (ii) bullish outlook on IO prices offers major upside to CSN – S&D conditions look tight, majors remain highly disciplined
and no swing capacity expected to offset Vale’s “lost” production; (ii) vertically-integrated, diversified, low-cost producer & strong asset
base - IO cash costs at ~$20/t (FOB) & freight down to $14/t; (iii) potential asset sales/streaming deal in ST to rebalance capital
structure – could sell stake in Casa De Pedra (if in distress); (iv) strong beneficiary of lower interest rates in Brazil.
Concerns: (i) high leverage & large refinancing needs – leverage improved, but net debt remains high; (ii) capital discipline – risk of
more aggressive expansion (cement, galvanized steel) or higher dividend payouts due to high leverage at controlling shareholder -
dividend announced in 2018 was blocked by Courts & management expects minimum legal dividends of 25%; (iii) tailings dam risks
and potential temporary shutdowns: two dams under decommissioning (B4/B5) and only one operational (CdP); CSN currently at 60%
dry IO processing aiming to reach 100% by YE after installing 2nd filtering unit. (iv) potential removal of import tariffs (potential impact
~20% of EBITDA), although we see it as unlikely in short term. (v) exposed to global/domestic growth, FX/commodity price volatility.

CMPC (BBB- / Baa3 / BBB) Pulp & Paper


Our view: CMPC’s FCF generation has been strong since 2017, benefitting from pulp price recovery, driving the long expected
deleverage since the conclusion of the Guaíba mill in late 2015 - net leverage moved from 3.0x at FY2017 to 1.6x in FY2018. Given
the stable outlook for the pulp market over the next two years and no major capex needs, we expect the company to continue posting
strong cash flows and further leverage reduction. CMPC bonds look fairly priced, trading in line with Celara and ~50bps inside Suzano.
CMPC bonds rightfully trade at a tighter level vs. other Chilean IG names (83bps, 3bps and 40bps inside Cenco, Falabella and Entel,
respectively), due to its high share of dollarized revenues and defensive product mix.

Recent: (i) Q4: strong revenues but with higher than expected costs. Revenues were up 24% y/y to US$1.62bn, on higher paper/tissue
sales, while EBITDA rose 57% y/y to US$403mn. Pulp: sales jumped 26% y/y to US$807mn, led by BEKP volumes. BSKP sales were
down 16% y/y, on scheduled maintenance at the Laja mill; EBITDA grew by 74% y/y reflecting normalized production at Guaíba, higher
pulp prices and higher sales volumes. Cash costs were down 4% YoY for BEKP and up 10% for BSKP, on higher energy expenses.
Packaging: revenues rose 15% y/y to US$222mn, while EBITDA declined 11% y/y to US$11mn, on higher pulp costs. Tissue: sales
were up 4% y/y to US$509mn, while EBITDA was down 35% y/y to US$25mn, on higher fiber costs, and gas prices in Mexico.

Strengths: (i) strong FCF generation and solid B/S; (ii) leading market position in tissue across Latam; (iii) defensive product mix, (iv)
strong business portfolio and geographical diversification; (v) vertical integration; (vi) opportunities from plastic bags ban in Chile

Concerns: (i) exposure to pulp prices/FX volatility; (ii) potential increase in competition in tissue;

Klabin (BB+ / BB+) Pulp & Paper


Our view: Klabin’s deleverage has at last picked up speed, benefitting from strong pricing in pulp and paper products (after a slower-
than-expected deleverage following the Puma plant ramp-up). However, it is still uncertain how sustainable this deleverage is, since
the company has been studying expansion projects over 2019-2023, which could curtail FCFs and keep net leverage closer to the 3.0-
4.0x range (still not incorporated into our base case). Klabin bonds offer a 50-60bps pick-up to Suzano and 20bps to Ultrapar, which
we deem warranted given expectations of higher leverage for longer due to a potential new expansion cycle. At the same time, it offers
a decent carry for a rather defensive business benefitting from a very strong operating environment.

Recent: (i) Sequentially strong Q4: R$1.1bn EBTIDA and R$480mn FCF driving net leverage down to 3.1x, benefitting from high pulp
and kraftliner prices, improving domestic market for paper (FY EBITDA up 47% y/y driving R$800mn FCF generation); (ii) new
challenge with early termination of Fibria sale agreement, focusing on medium-sized clients aiming for higher price realization; (iii)
undergoing a cultural shift with 50% of directors turnover in last 1-2 years; (iv) tighter regulations on non-renewable resources globally
helps demand for paper-based products (e .g.: plastic straw ban in EU).

Strengths: (i) stable & defensive business with leading market position in packaging (high exposure to consumer staples, concentrated
in the resilient food industry), benefitting from larger scale, cost competitiveness, longstanding relationship with clients; (ii) high vertical
integration allows higher operating efficiency & margins (large forestry base with 230k ha of planted forests on 490k ha of owned land);
(iii) comfortable liquidity (R$7bn cash) and low refinancing risk + flexibility with asset base (R$2bn in land and R$4.6bn in biological
assets); (iv) improving credit metrics since start-up of Puma plant, coupled with strong momentum in pulp markets (~1/3 of revenues).

Concerns: (i) potential expansion projects could limit FCFs and deleverage - Board pondering a new investment cycle for 2019-2023
in integrated kraftliner and coated boards (possibly ~US$2bn capex), which could keep net leverage above 3x for longer (mgmt.
expects leverage would not surpass 4.5x even under stress); (ii) high leverage following Puma expansion (1.5mt pulp) with slower
than expected deleverage cost the company its investment grade; (iii) exposure to cyclical pulp business (1/3 of sales) and potential
downturns in the Brazilian economy (55-60% of sales in DM).

Suzano (BBB- / Ba1 / BBB-) Pulp & Paper


Our view: Suzano bonds trade tight to the sovereign in the range of 20-30bps over (Suzano 29s at 5.1% YTW, 264bps z-spread),
nonetheless we see value in the carry due to its very favorable momentum (high pulp prices expected over next couple of year), strong
deleverage as it extracts synergies from the merger with Fibria (we expect net leverage to come down to 2.5x by 2019-end) and as it
offers a good hedge to political uncertainties in Brazil, with nearly 100% of revenue exposure to the USD and little domestic exposure.

Recent: (i) Suzano Day highlights: management guided for merger operational synergies of R$800-900mn/year (NPV at near R$7.8bn)
and tax savings in the vicinity of R$4.7bn, for a total NPV of synergies of around R$12.5bn. Suzano does not expect to engage in any
major capacity expansion projects before net leverage is back at 3.0x level, with management pursuing a net debt figure of US$10bn
(with net leveraged capped at 1-3x during a normal cycle and maximum of 3.5x during an investment cycle); (ii) weak Q4 results,
reflecting temporary slowdown in pulp markets late last year (“buyers´ strike” in China), with pro-forma EBITDA down 34% q/q to
R$3.55bn on lower pulp shipments (-28% q/q) and weaker pulp cash cost performance (up 14% q/q to R$669/t, on lower fixed cost
dilution and energy sales). For the FY, consolidated EBITDA stood at R$16.4bn, up 70% y/y, with operating cash generation at
R$12.5bn (up 92% y/y). Proforma net debt came in at R$52.2bn, with net leverage ending the year at 3.2x.

Strengths: (i) high pulp prices supported by balanced S&D outlook over next couple of years, with limited capacity coming online; (ii)
strong FCF generation and strong deleveraging momentum, with potential for very sizeable synergies from merger with Fibria; (iii)
defensive play in a scenario of a Brazilian downturn, benefiting from BRL depreciation; (iv) economies of scale, low-cost pulp, vertically
integrated producer.

Concerns: (i) highly cyclical industry, volatile FX/commodity prices; (ii) potential M&A and new expansion projects (such as Tres
Lagoas); (iii) high pulp inventories may take time to normalize.

BRF (BB- / Ba2 {Neg} / BB) Proteins


Our view: BRF faced a turbulent couple of years impacted by trade embargos, grain prices, new halal export rules, poor operating
results and rising leverage. We now see BRF bringing about a more focused strategy of improving operating efficiency and recovering
pricing power. While BRF’s divestment plan (Argentina, Europe and Thailand + WK optimization) came in below expectations, we do
expect margins to recover in 2019 under a combination of a turning poultry cycle in Brazil higher, a benign grain price scenario and
opportunities arising from the outbreak of African Swine Fever in China. Yet, we still see the company having a tough time to deliver
net leverage multiple below 4x by YE19, comparing unfavorably with other Brazilian protein peers. BRF bonds seem to already price
in a lot of the expected turnaround, and seem tight given deleverage expectations, with BRF 26s trading in line with JBS 26s at 6.3%
YTW and 391bps z-spread.

Recent: (i) Q4 sequentially weak, with EBTIDA of R$708mn at a 7.4% margin (several one-offs), pressured by higher feed costs and
higher indirect costs; net debt pro-forma for monetization plan stood at R$13.4bn; (ii) Carne Fraca woes compounded with truckers’
strike in Brazil, disrupting BRF’s supply chain; (iii) Shutdown of Russian pork market to Brazilian exporters + closing of EU market to
BRF, resulted in domestic oversupply domestically (preventing price increases to offset grain prices), leading to supply cuts; (iv) recent
SECEX data showed initial signs of turning of the poultry cycle, with higher prices; (v) BRF guided for 3.65x net leverage YE19,
implying an EBITDA of ~R$3.5bn & 10-11% margin, while also placing COO Lourival Luz in the CEO succession line.
Strengths: (i) strong brand awareness and market share in Brazil, sizeable distribution platform & large share of processed and value
added food; (ii) management committed to improving efficiency, recover pricing power and reduce leverage, while maintaining
adequate liquidity; (iii) poultry cycle improving in Brazil after recent supply cuts, leading to higher prices; (iii) ASF outbreak in China
opens opportunities to capture higher prices; (iv) corporate governance improving amid realignment of BoD and management.
Concerns: (i) intrinsic sector risks and lower resilience to absorb external shocks, such as FX, grain price volatility, S&D shifts,
competition, sanitary & trade barriers; (ii) high leverage and slower deleverage trend, as visibility on margin recovery remains low; (iii)
potential contingent liabilities related to Carne Fraca investigation; (iv) trade restrictions – Russia and EU embargo, Chinese
antidumping fees, new Halal slaughtering process and higher protectionism in Saudi Arabia – no expectation EU reopening in ST.

JBS (BB- {Pos} / Ba3 / BB-) Proteins


Our view: We expect strong results & FCF over US$1bn/year to drive leverage to the 2x range, as JBS benefits from positive protein
cycles across most geographies and opportunities arising from the ASF outbreak in China. Although legal matters are still pending,
JBS achieved a comfortable liquidity position following asset sales, debt extension with banks and liability management. We believe
JBS bonds offer a good carry with further upside from a potential IPO in the US. JBS SA bonds (BZ HoldCo) trade at an attractive
spread pick-up to the JBS USA curve (100bps on the 24s and 110bps on the 26s vs. 25s), and offer an interesting spread pick-up vs.
BB rated peers – JBS 26s trade flattish to BRF 26s, 50bps over Rumo 25s, and 10bps inside Minerva 26s.

Recent: (i) Q4 slightly weaker than expected with EBITDA of R$3.4bn at a 7.2% margin and modest FCF of R$0.5bn; Brazilian beef
unit reported a weak 3.9% margin, while Seara was the highlight (10.3% margin); (ii) management overhaul announced, with the hiring
of Guilherme Cavalcanti as CFO, while Gilberto Tomazoni took over CEO position – management tagerting 2x leverage YE19; (iii)
rating upgrades to BB- by S&P and Ba3 by Moody’s in Oct/2018; (iv) bond liability management exercises (Oct/2018 and April/2019);
(iv) May/2018: extension of debt normalization agreement with banks (R$12bn until Jul/2021); (v) recent negative headlines on
controlling shareholders (e.g. Operation Bullish) and Pilgrim’s minority shareholder lawsuit questioning MoyPark acquisition.

Strengths: (i) large scale & substantial protein / geographic diversification, with efficient operations and strong access to relevant
consumer markets despite trade restrictions; (ii) positive protein cycles across most geographies and opportunities from the ASF
outbreak in China; (iii) Plans to resume IPO in the US; (iv) more professional management team and conservative leverage guidelines;
(v) stabilization of liquidity, with asset sales to the tune of ~US$2.2bn (Mercosul, Five Rivers, MoyPark, Vigor) and debt term out.

Concerns: (i) corporate governance and pending internal investigation; (ii) potential liabilities from settlements of corruption
investigations (US DoJ, Brazilian SEC & IRS) – we expect no material fines/impact on credit metrics and expect JBS to remain
protected by J&F leniency agreement; (iii) exposure to cyclical industry & FX, with volatility in feedstock/protein prices; (iv) capital
discipline - aggressive M&A track record and hedging policy in the past; (v) low disclosure in Q results.

Marfrig (BB- / B2 / BB-) Proteins


Our view: Marfrig bonds offer an attractive carry and pick-up to Minerva (80bps) and JBS (+70-90bps), which we attribute to concerns
over resumption of expansion strategy, its aggressive growth track-record and the need to demonstrate consistent positive FCF
generation & low leverage. The acquisition of National Beef for US$969mn in Q2 and sale of Keystone for US$2.4bn in 2H18 has re-
shaped the company and increased its focus on beef, while driving its pro-forma leverage to a low of 2.4x YE. However, adjusting for
the 49% minority ownership at NB, Marfrig’s leverage would be closer to low 3x). We expect strong results and positive FCF generation
ahead, as it benefits from a positive cattle cycle both in Brazil & the US (still negative in Uruguay) and falling financial expenses.

Recent: (i) Q4: messy and below expectations with EBITDA of R$877mn at a 8.4% margin and R$826mn in export-related tax credit
write-offs, although FCF was R$380mn with pro-forma leverage reaching 2.4x; (ii) Ex-CFO Mr. Miron was named CEO with mandate
to improve efficiency, reduce leverage and prioritize organic growth; (iii) 2 acquisitions from BRF in Dec/2018: Quickfood (Argentina)
for US$60mn EV and a beef/hamburger facility in Mato Grosso for R$100mn; (iv) March/2019: NB announced US$150mn acquisition
of Iowa Premium (1.1k heads, US$644mn revenues), but minorities will contribute.

Strengths: (i) positive cattle cycle in the US and Brazil over next 12-18 months supports profitability; (ii) better leverage profile after
sale of Keystone, with expected lower interest burden supporting higher cash flows; (iii) strong liquidity position; (iv) possible
opportunities arising from ASF outbreak in China; (v) strengthening of USD is accretive to Marfrig.

Concerns: (i) concerns over potential resumption of more aggressive expansion strategy, given recent M&As (although accretive) and
past history of aggressive debt-funded growth & asset divestments; (ii) National Beef 49% minority ownership drives cash leakage &
risk of put execution against Marfrig in future – higher leverage if adjusted for this off-balance sheet liability; (iii) intrinsic sector risks:
FX & commodity price volatility, cyclicality, sanitary & trade barriers, strikes and volatility in WK; (iv) still high financial expenses and
limited track record of positive FCF generation / capital discipline; (v) reduced disclosure level – no breakdown between US & amp;
South America operations.

Cencosud (Baa3 {Neg} / BBB-) Consumer


Our view: Cencosud continues to struggle with weak economic conditions in Argentina and Brazil, sluggish top line growth in Chile,
high competition and limited investments in its more profitable markets. The timely IPO of its Shopping Center division (ex Argentina)
continues to be the main driver for the credit story, driving substantial deleverage and avoiding the loss of its IG rating. Cencosud’s
bonds have tightened considerably YTD, with average spread tightening of 90-105bps across its 23s, 25s and 27s and a relevant
spread tightening to Falabella’s curve – 20-40bps tighter relatively to the Chilean peer, now trading 70-90bps over Falabella. We
believe that Cencosud should trade with at least a 60bps premium vs. Falabella and see limited upside potential once the IPO
materializes (10-30bps).

Recent: i) Cencosud published weak and uneventful 4Q18 results, with sales down 7.7% y/y, ex IAS 29 accounting effect
(hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina) affected mainly by ARS and BRL devaluation and sluggish sales growth in Chile. EBITDA
declined 22.9% y/y (margin -139bps), partly impacted by one-off severance payments, but still faced y/y declines across all regions,
mostly due to higher promotional activity and increased logistics costs (except Brazil, with positive EBITDA for the first time since
4Q16). Net leverage remains very high at 4.7x; (ii) Cencosud guided for a net debt / EBITDA ratio at or below 3.0x by 2019-end; (ii)
Cenconsud filed with the Chilean regulator (CMF) for the IPO of its Shopping Malls division, targeting US$1bn used for deleverage
purposes; (iii) Cenco announced issuance of a local bond for US$400mn by Cencosud Shopping Centers (the newCo) which will be
used to pay intercompany debt; (iv) The sale of the credit card operation in Argentina, which would be one of the main divestment
targets and a good deleveraging move, is currently off the table due to the macro conditions in the country.

Strengths: (i) solid market position, strong brand portfolio & large scale of operations; (ii) business & geographic diversification; (iii)
sale of non-core assets strengthening the BS; (iv) resilient food business is the core (Supermarkets represent 60% of revenues),

Concerns: (i) IPO execution and valuation vs. risk of downgrade; (ii) challenging operating environment in Argentina, Brasil and
Colombia (21%, 14% and 8% of revenues, respectively); (iii) FX exposure; (iv) pressures from online commerce and intense
competition from local and foreign players demands continued investments, (v) chairman influence on day-to-day management

InRetail Pharma (BB / Ba2 / BB+) & InRetail Shopping Malls (BB / BB+) Consumer
Our view: Both bonds issues by InRetail - the Pharma 23s (4.0% YTW, 164 z-spread) and Shopping Malls 28s (4.9% YTM, 260 z-
spread) - look relatively tight, especially when compared to higher rated peers like Cencosud and Falabella. Still, we believe that both
bonds will continue to perform given Peru scarcity value and specific drivers for each entity. The Pharma 23s will continue to capture
synergies from the Quicorp acquisition, expand margins and keep on deleveraging. The Retail 28’s are supported by the positive retail
momentum and opening of the new Puruchuco mall in 4Q19, as well as Capex normalization which will help FCF generation. We think
there’s room for a rating upgrade in both bonds.

Recent: i) InRetail delivered another strong set of results with sales up 58% y/y, boosted by the consolidation of Quicorp, while EBITDA
grew 47% y/y. Supermarkets’ sales grew 12% y/y. and EBITDA rose 7% y/y (-40bps margin). Shopping center sales grew 6% y/y,
driven by 7% y/y GLA growth, flattish occupancy rate of 96% and healthy tenant sales (SSS growth: 6%), with EBITDA up 3% y/y.
Pharma posted another strong quarter with SSS growth of 5%, once again delivering margin improvement. The Pharma segment
EBITDA, including the lower-margin MDM segment, rose 80bps y/y to 9.5% driven by a notable 2.8pp y/y EBITDA margin increase in
pharmacies. InRetail consolidated net leveraged closed the year at 3.5x, down from 4.3x pro-forma at the beginning of the year. The
company indicated a strong start to 2019.

Strengths: (i) ultimately both bonds share Intercorp risk (BBB- / Ba2 / BBB-); (ii) largest shopping center chain in Peru and largest
Pharmacies operator in Peru, (iii) large land bank, (iv) large and stable portfolio with good assets (19 malls with 626k m2 in GLA), (v)
stable cash flows, (vi) long-term debt profile, (vii) big economies of scale in the Pharma business with high purchasing power

Concerns: (i) exposure to FX risk (all revenues in PEN), partially mitigated by hedging strategy (US$750mn call spreads); (ii) intense
competition in the retail industry; (iii) execution risk of new mall openings; (iv) potential conflicts of interest within InRetail’s controlling
group (Interbank, Interseguro, Oeschle, Promart and/or Cineplanet), particularly on lease agreements in its shopping malls.

Rede D’Or (BB- / BB) HealthCare


Our view: Rede D’Or 28s trading at 5.7% YTW & 331bps z-spread offer a very attractive spread over similarly rated peers (50bps
over Klabin 27s, 65bps over Ultrapar), considering its strong business position as the largest hospital operator in Brazil and strong
financial flexibility. While FCF has been negative on a combination of strong expansion, WK requirements and dividends, driving net
leverage to 2.9x as of Q4, the company has relevant flexibility to adjust capex and dividends to calibrate its capital structure. We expect
FCF will to remain negative as the company continues to expand, but credit metrics to return to the 2-2.5x level as EBITDA ramps up
(assuming dividend payouts fall to 50%). Hypothetically, an IPO would be a relevant upside trigger to the credit case.

Recent: (i) solid FY18: margins stable at 24.5% despite several acquisitions and renegotiations with health plan operators; stronger
expansion and dividends drove net leverage up to 2.9x; (ii) 5 hospital acquisitions since early 2018 and re-entry into the diagnostics
business for a total of R$1.4bn; (iii) diversifying service portfolio & increasing capillarity by adding ambulatory & oncology networks;

Strengths: (i) large business scale (42 hospitals & +6.4k beds) and strong brand drive above-average profitability – scale a key factor
in achieving fixed cost dilution & bargaining power with counterparties; (ii) successful track record of growth & integration of acquired
hospitals; (iii) strong financial flexibility, able to adjust capital structure discretionarily managing capex and dividends; comfortable debt
profile and liquidity; (iv) strong shareholder sponsorship, with strategic partners Carlyle and; (v) hospital bed supply deficit in Brazil -
resilient performance and ability to pass through cost increases even amid downturn of the Brazilian economy; (vi) strong relationship
with solid counterparties – large network, strategic location, quality & brand recognition attractive to health plan operators.

Concerns: (i) capital-intensive business and aggressive expansion (both organic and inorganic) – Rede D’Or expects to reach 9.7k
hospital beds by 2023, having acquired 26 hospitals / 4.1k beds since 2010; (ii) despite strong operating cash generation, expansion
and WK dynamics drive cash burn - high financial flexibility should ensure a well-balanced capital structure; (iii) shifting trends in
healthcare sector, amid migration from ‘pay per service’ to ‘pay per performance’ model; (iv) increasing competition since opening of
sector to private investment in 2015 (hard to replicate RDOR’s large scale/brand); (v) heavily regulated sector and legal risks; (vi)
majority of properties are leased, but for very long terms.

Hidrovias (Ba3 / BB) Infrastructure


Our view: Hidrovias has been successfully ramping up its operations, driving stable & high margin cash flow generation and
deleverage. Although it’s balance sheet is still highly leveraged at 5x, we expect FCF generation to the tune of R$100-200mn/year, to
drive leverage down to low 3x by YE20. Hidrovias derives 1/3 of its EBTIDA from a LT iron ore take-or-pay contract with Vale, which
following the Brumadinho catastrophe raised investors’ concerns over the tail risk of a hypothetical stoppage of its operations in
Corumbá impacting the contract. Nonetheless, as dam inspections have not resulted in stoppages and as time passes by, this risk
perception should fade. Hidrovias bonds trading at 6.5% & 416bps of z-spread offer an interesting spread pickup to Rumo (+80),
Aegea (+60) making it an attractive play – we would see any volatility & sell-off in the bonds as an interesting entry point.

Recent: (i) Mitsui terminated its LT contract with HdB in Q2 (~16% of EBITDA), paying a compensation of R$388mn; (ii) company
continues to ramp-up northern operations, contracting the volumes lost with Mitsui; (ii) government is paving the final 80km of BR-
163, driving down freights costs and improving cost competitiveness/efficiency of the northern corridor; (iv) last shareholder
capitalization in Q4 (US$30mn); (iv) management studying additions of new routes (Porto Velho, western Matro Grosso, Itaquatiara,
Tietê) and products (clinker, fertilizers, etc); (v) strong 3Q18 results with 9M18 EBITDA at R$316mn and net leverage at 2.8x - 4.9x
ex Mitsui one-off and 4.0x ex cabotage business (bond covenants exclude bauxite business).

Strengths: (i) stable cash flow generation, with majority of EBITDA coming from long term contracts (+80%), with cost pass-through
for inflation and fuel prices + low counterparty risk; (ii) expect positive FCF generation on improving revenues, and lower capex levels;
(ii) strong shareholder support, although some PE funds are reaching maturity; (ii) potential sale of business to financial/strategic
partner or an IPO (under positive market conditions); (iii) favorable outlook for 2019 grain harvest in Brazil and improving
competitiveness of norther corridor; (iv) strong asset base (US$1.3bn), difficult to replicate (licensing); (v) low refinancing needs.

Concerns: (i) relatively small scale compared to BB peers and small track record (strong profitability so far); (ii) main clients Vale,
Cofco and Alunorte represent a substantial portion of its EBITDA (~70-80% of EBTIDA); (iii) loss of Mitsui contract, although co was
paid a large compensation and has been able to recontract volumes in spot market; (iv) high leverage, but declining as FCF remains
positive; (v) potential bid for toll road BR-163 and Ferrograo railway concessions, although we’d expect HdB to enter via partnerships;
(vi) Vale contract cancellation tail risk (fixed take or pay of US$44mn/year) – unlikely, but if it were to happen (e.g. regulator orders
halt of Vale’s tailing dam) could lead to legal battle (management comfortable with contract enforceability).

Rumo (BB- / BB {Pos}) Infrastructure


Our view: Rumo bonds seem fairly priced having tightened substantially to 5.6% YTW and 333bps z-spread, narrowing the spread
over BB+ rated peers (55bps over Petrobras, 44bps over Klabin) as its credit metrics also converge closer to BB+ peers. Over the
past few years, Rumo’s credit profile has improved materially on the back of capacity increase, higher operating efficiency, equity
injections and liability management (as well as lower interest rates). We expected Rumo to become a strong FCF generator after
reaching a turning point in 2018, but a higher capex guidance announcement and investments for the recently acquired Norte Sul
Railway should curtail FCFs going forward. Still, we expect no material balance sheet pressure and expect net leverage to remain
close to 2x, as EBITDA ramps up meaningfully.

Recent: (i) Rumo won the bid for the Norte-Sul Railway (FNS) offering R$2.7bn concession fee (5% upfront, rest in 120 Q payments)
on top of minimum capex of R$2.7bn (real terms); (ii) new LT guidance: 10% volume CAGR in 2018-2023 reaching R$6.2-6.9bn
EBITDA in 2023 and R$13-15bn capex for 2019-2023. (iii) strong FY18 results with volumes and EBITDA up 13% and 15% y/y,
marking the transition to positive FCF generation as net leverage declines to 2.2x; (iv) R$2.9bn BNDES loan approved in Aug/2018;
(v) Malha Paulista renewal approved by ANTT, awaiting confirmation by TCU (Federal Audit Court); (vi) smooth CEO transition, with
Mr. João Abreu (former VP at Raízen & 18 years at Shell);
Strengths: (i) successful turnaround story on rising volumes, operating efficiency and commercial policy, transforming the company
into a strong, predictable cash flow powerhouse; (ii) key infrastructure player with strong market position (lack of competition, higher
efficiency vs. trucks, high barriers to entry) in main export corridors & ports in Brazil; (iii) constructive outlook for agricultural
commodities in 2019 (Agroconsult forecasts Brazilian crops to grow by 2% for soybean and 18% for corn), (iv) strong shareholder
support, corporate governance and rebalancing of capital structure (R$2.6bn capitalization in 2017), (v) comfortable debt profile.

Concerns: (i) higher investments ahead will curtail FCF generation, though not materially compromising Rumo’s leverage metrics -
on top of higher capex guidance (R$13-15bn for 2019-2023), FNS will likely consume, on average, R$300-400mn FCF annually over
the first 5 years; (ii) regulatory risk, concession liabilities and legal disputes; (iii) exposure to trends in the agricultural sector (80% of
transport volumes), partially mitigated by take-or-pay contract structure.

Cemex (BB / BB) Cement


Our view: Cemex’s deleverage story has been playing out progressively, as the company has been delivering on the promised debt
reductions. Throughout 2019 and 2020, we should see more on that front with asset sales driving deleverage and cost reductions
materializing in 2019 (~US$150mn savings). On the back of that, we believe the company could be on track to regaining IG in the
med-long term (with leverage moving to below 3.0x leverage and more asset sales on the way). Cemex bonds are already pricing-in
the deleverage trend, in our view, with CEMEX 25s trading at 4.9% YTM and 252bps z-spread, 26bps inside Nemak and 100bps
tighter than Elementia. Still, within Mexican corporates universe we see Cemex as one of the few safe heavens with almost 80% of
the revenues generated outside the country.

Recent: i) weak Q4 (as expected): Revenues up 1% y/y (+4% y/y on a like-for-like & FX-adjusted basis) to US$3.5bn, while EBITDA
fell 3% y/y (flat on a like-for-like and FX-adjusted basis) to US$604m as margins remained pressured by higher energy costs (17.5%
in 4Q18 vs. 18.3% in 4Q17). FCF was US$337m in Q4 & US$756m in 2018, enabling Cemex to initiate share repurchases, reduce
debt to US$10.1bn (vs. US$10.7bn in FY17), and to lower leverage to 3.8x; (ii) in line with its divestment plan (US$1.5-2bn by 2020),
Cemex has already announced 3 sales since February - Baltic and Nordic assets for EUR427mn, German aggregates and ready-mix
assets for EUR87mn, and Cimsa Cimento (white cement business), including its Bunol cement plant in Spain for US$180mn. In total,
since the announcement of the “A Stronger Cemex” plan in 2Q18 asset sales have reached US$750mn, 50% of the low end of its
divestment target range; (iii) Cemex Day highlights: focus remains on deleveraging (reduce total debt by US$3.5bn) and reaching 3.0x
ND/EBITDA by FY2020. (iv) Fitch upgraded the rating to B (stable outlook) from B- driven by the debt reductions made over the past
3 years (-US$5bn)

Strengths: (i) focus on deleverage and regaining IG status, with relevant divestment program + continuous efforts to profit from market
windows to reduce cost of debt; (ii) strong market position and professional management; (iii) regional diversification

Concerns: (i) still high leverage; (ii) FX volatility & mismatch of operating currencies and USD-denominated debt (92% of Debt and
~60% of revenues in HC) (iii) headwinds in Mexico with low domestic demand/infrastructure spending.

Intercement (B+ / B) Cement


Our view: Intercement has partially tackled its capital structure issues, via the IPO of its Argentina subsidiary (Loma Negra, now 51%
owned) and the recent sale of its Portugal operations (pending). Nonetheless, local currency depreciation (especially in Argentina),
contracting cement demand & uncertainties looming over upcoming general elections in Argentina and a sluggish recovery in Brazil
(stronger recovery maybe in 2020) should drive still high leverage metrics and cash burn. Pro-forma for the Portugal sale, we expect
IC to repot still high net leverage metrics closer to 5x by YE19 (higher still if we were to proportionally consolidate its 51% stake in
Argentina). We see INCMBZ 24s trading at unattractive levels at 8.0% YTM (20bps wide to JSL 24s and 25bps inside GOL 25s),
given IC’s still unbalanced capital structure and a level which seems to already partially price in a turnaround of its Brazilian operations.
Recent: (i) Brazil cement data (SNIC) for Jan-Feb shows 5.4% demand growth in Jan-Feb, with industry participants forecasting 3%
growth for 2019. Cement demand decline almost 30% since 2014 and was down 1.1% in 2018 (impacted by the trucker strike); (ii)
Argentina cement demand (AFCP) down -16% in Q4 and -8.8% in Jan-Feb; (iii) postponement of preferred dividends in in FY17 and
FY18; (iv) net leverage up to 5.2x in 9M18 (vs. 4.3x in FY17) on a combination of currency depreciation impatign EBTIDA and EUR
270mn of cash burn (EUR 179mn in WK consumption).

Strengths: (i) successful IPO of Loma Negra late 2017 raised EUR923mn (of which EUR550mn used to pay down debt); (ii) Oct/2018:
Sale of Portugal assets to greatly increase liquidity and leave company in comfortable position to tackle debt maturities until 2020
(media report indicate valuation for EUR 700mn); (iii) high quality underlying assets providing asset coverage, (iv) geographic
diversification, with nationwide presence in Brazil and dominant market share in Argentina (better price pass through conditions); (v)
long-term upside of Brazilian economy & cement demand recovery (may take years); (vi) Company undertook strong cost cut
measures over past couple of years, which could support better EBTIDA in Brazil.
Concerns: (i) weak (improving) corporate governance standards; (ii) Brazil results remain weak, with high idle capacity in the industry
(~50%), but there are signs of a bottoming out and recovery of demand; (iii) relevant contraction in cement demand in Argentina (2/3
of LTM EBTIDA), with high inflation & strong currency depreciation reduces expected EBITDA contribution; (iii) currency mismatch in
funding (67% of debt in USD & EUR) vs. local currency operations (strong FX depreciation in past); (iv) very high leverage (5.2x as of
3Q18) and limited FCF prospects – leverage to improve after Portugal sale proceeds, but partly offset by further ARS depreciation.

Aegea (Ba1 / BB {Neg}) Utilities


Our view: Aegea 24s offer an attractive carry at 5.9% YTW & 355bps z-spread, in our view, trading 15bps over Rumo and flat to BRF.
While the company’s leverage is slightly higher vs. peers and we expect the company to continue burning cash as it expands, the
underlying business is very stable (predictable demand, inflation-linked tariffs) and the company has been able to effectively manage
its capital structure, by timing investments and via shareholder support from its strategic partners.

Recent: (i) Q4: good results, with EBITDA up 22% q/q R$255mn; (ii) R$577mn capitalization by GIC & IFC during 2018; (iii) acquisition
of Manaus concession for R$830mn back in early 2018 - half on signing, R$300mn in Jan/2019 and remainder in Jan/2020; (iv) recent
revision of minimum volume tariff in Guariroba has impacted its results (EBITDA down 8% y/y), but economic rebalancing will offset
impact over time (via higher tariff readjustments over next 3 years).

Strengths: (i) favorable concession model and low business risk – long term (average +30 yrs), inflation-linked tariff readjustments
(no X-factor), straightforward targets (i.e. water & sewage coverage) and predictable/inelastic demand; (ii) high margin business, with
stable & predictable cash flows; (iii) strong shareholder support from strategic partners GIF & IFC; (iv) solid track record of turning
concessions around with strong dividend stream from mature concessions (Guariroba and Prolagos) supporting investments in newer
concessions; (v) improving debt profile and good access to debt capital markets, bonds fully hedged with 3.5x net leverage covenant;
(vi) potential IPO candi date as sector opens up to private investment, with new sector regulation under discussion.

Concerns: (i) capital intensive business and aggressive expansion (via acquisition and concession bids) drive cash burn, further
boosted by large dividend payouts – shareholder agreement and covenants limits pro-forma net leverage to 3.5x; (ii) structural
subordination of bonds at holdco; (iii) hydrological risk, mitigated by broad geographic diversification; (iv) regulatory & political
interference risk, diluted by diversification under different regulatory agencies and good track record of concession agreement
enforceability; (v) legal / news flow risk.

Cometa / Saavi Energia (Baa3 / BBB) Utilities


Our view: We see COMENG 35 bonds at 6.4% YTM and 400bps z-spread offering an attractive carry (having recovered most of the
recent underperformance already), now 186ps wide to CFELEC 27s. Despite the current negative environment in Mexico, we see
Saavi as one of our selective top picks. Saavi has fully dollarized revenues, with +80% of its capacity contracted (we see low risk of
contract revision/cancellations), low dependence on Pemex (only 1 plant fully dependent, equivalent to 11% of capacity, although it
has diesel generation flexibility) and a solid client base (benefits from exposure to US clients and suppliers).

Recent: (i) robust Q4 figures as a very tight merchant market in both Mexico and California and high spot prices translated into strong
EBITDA figures (US$193mn at year-end +10% y/y). Cash flow available for debt servicing stood at US$157mn (2.3x coverage ratio)
and net debt was US$771mn, with net leverage at 4.0x;

Strengths: (i) close to 90% of its capacity fully contracted; (ii) Stable and predictable Cash Flow generation; (iii) flexibility in supply
sources (access to gas supply from the US); (iv) connected to the US grid, supplying to US clients and mitigating Mexican risk; (v)
tight merchant market in both Mexico and California. (vi) management highlighted they see no risk of a contract re-negotiation with
CFE (main customer, 57% of generation capacity contracts) and have an outstanding track record of invoice payments; (vii)
opportunities created by delays in new generation capacity coming online, as spot prices could remain at higher levels for longer
(prices in 2018 were around US$90MW)

Concerns: (i) risk of contract re-negotiation given AMLO track record since taking office; (ii) main contracts ending before the maturity
of the bond (key renewal years will be 2027 and 2028); (iii) main client is CFE (57%), posting sovereign risk.

Entel (BBB- {Neg} / Baa3 / BBB-) Telecom


Our view: Negative EBITDA in Peru since Entel entered the country in 2013 combined with high Capex needs have translated into
negative FCF in the past five years and higher net leverage metrics (3.6x in 4Q18). Going forward, we expect Entel’s Peruvian
operations to drive EBITDA growth, while a tough competitive environment in Chile will result in muted top line growth for Entel and
could pressure margins. However, we now see Entel’s free cash flow possibly approaching a turning point in late 2019 (still negative
for the FY) and driving positive FCFs thereafter on lower operating losses in Peru. Entel bonds which had been pricing in some
downgrade risk, have tightened to what we deem fair levels now, apparently pricing in the Peruvian turnaround and consequent
reduction of downgrade risk. Entel 24s now trade only 36bps over CMPC (vs. +100bps over in late 2018).

Recent: (i) In March, Fitch assigned a negative outlook to Entel´s BBB- rating, due to weak operating cash flow performance and
resulting higher leverage. Failure to lower leverage close to 3.5x (measured as total adj. debt to EBITDAR, currently at 4.2x) during
the next year could lead to a downgrade; (ii) Q4 revenues were flat y/y, but EBITDA surprised positively, reaching CLP131bn (+13%
y/y), driven by record high margins on the Chilean operation (34.6%, +211 bps y/y) and the break-even of the Peruvian operation. Net
leverage improved marginally to 3.6x (from 3.8 in Q3).

Strengths: (i) largest wireless carrier in Chile with 32% market share (vs. 31% for Telefonica Movistar, 24% for AMX Claro and 12%
for newcomer WOM) and third in Peru with a 19% market share (Telefonica 34% and AMX’s Claro 32%); (ii) high-quality subscriber
base and state-of-the-art technology; (iii) strong controlling shareholders led by a group of well-known local business conglomerates.

Concerns: (i) softer growth and stronger competition in Chile expected to impact future margins, with newcomers (WOM, Virgin, VTR)
gaining share mainly in the postpaid segment (WOM went from 3% to 12% share in two years). More aggressive pricing could happen
over the next year as Chilean regulator massively reduced interconnection costs, benefitting smaller operators (net payers); (ii)
Execution risk of its expansion into Peru and uncertainties regarding price behavior from competitors; (iii) geographic concentration in
two countries; (iv) small scale relative to global industry peers.

Oi (B / B-) Telecom
Our view: Following its massive debt restructuring and R$4bn capital increase, Oi is ramping up investments (to R$7bn/year, mainly
in FTTH broadband services) to revert its declining top line trend, which will take time and drive negative FCFs for years. W e expect
revenues to grow only in 2021, with average negative FCF of ~R$2bn over the next 3 years. Nonetheless, Oi has several options to
bridge the cash flow gap (i.e. asset sales, Telecom reform). Longer term, Oi remains a strategic asset and potential M&A target to
newcomers or current operators. While the standalone credit case for Oi looks challenging, we see relevant upside & spread tightening
potential in Oi 2025s (8.9% YTM) in case M&A materializes (many possible forms) and as optionalities materialize.

Bridging the cash flow gap: i) 25% stake in Unitel (~US$1bn, likely a negotiated solution), ii) approval of the Telecom Reform
(PLC79), driving cash savings of ~R$1bn/year and unlocking ~R$1.0-2.0bn real estate asset sales, iii) non-core asset sales of ~R$1.0-
1.5bn (fiber networks in SP, towers, data centers), and iv) a favorable Superior Court (STJ) ruling on R$2.2bn PIS/Cofins tax credits,
driving cash savings of R$900mn/year for 2.5 years.

Telecom Reform: transformational with savings deriving from: i) end of bi-annual 2% concession fee (~R$150mn/year), ii) reduction
of mandatory investment in public phones (~R$300mn); iii) easier requirements on installation & repair of new & existing lines
(~R$300mn), iv) better use of real estate assets (at least ~R$1.0-2.0), and v) tax savings of up to R$400mn/year. Yet, the most
important factor is that the new legislation could spur M&A in the sector. We expect the bill to be voted in 1H19, as it counts on broad
support from the government. Nonetheless, the legislation would still have to be regulated by ANATEL (little-to-no impact in 2019),
which will also estimate the economic value of the concessions assets (to be converted into future investments in networks).

The M&A endgame: M&A remains the most attractive alternative for shareholders, which could take several forms: i) a consolidation
with TIM (either TIM acquiring Oi or a strategic investor capitalizing Oi to acquire TIM), ii) Oi could be acquired by a newcomer, and
iii) Oi could sell its mobile operations and continue to operate as a much less leveraged fixed-line/connectivity operator. We believe
Oi’s mobile operations could be worth R$15-20bn (at 7-8x multiple, mobile revenues of R$8bn and estimated EBTIDA of R$2.5bn).

Recent & upcoming: (i) weak Q4 (as expected) with revenues down 8% y/y to R$5.3bn, while EBITDA was down 6% y/y to R$1.2bn;
(ii) shareholder meeting on April 26th to vote on long term compensation plan for top management & BoD, which should create much
stronger incentives to undertake M&A; (iii) In Feb, Oi won an arbitration against Unitel’s shareholders, reinstating its political rights (2
out of 5 BoD seats + election of new CEO), establishing US$750mn compensation and unlocking US$750mn in owed dividends.

Concerns: (i) strong cash burn and weak operating performance short term; (ii) execution risk of capex & turnaround plan; (iii) highly
competitive industry + underinvestment & declining market share in past few years; (iv) limited access do bank debt & capital markets.

Avianca (B / B) Airlines
Our view: Avianca seems to have taken a new path towards capacity rationalization and focus on profitability which we acknowledge
as positive. Some of the governance issues, which have been a key concern to investors, seem to have started to be addressed.
United Airlines increased the presence in Avianca’s board of directors, with 1 observer and 1 voting seat. Avianca intends to refinance
its 2020 bonds with an issuance occurring in a tight window (possibly between end of April and early May). We believe avianca has a
good shot at refinancing its 2020 bonds, given the dearth of new issuances so far this year and a more credible deleverage strategy
& governance structure. Nonetheless, Avianca may have to settle for a high refinancing cost, which could pose an interesting
opportunity for bond investors.

Recent: (i) AVH posted better than expected Q (albeit very polluted by several adjustments), with revenues up 15% y/y to US$1.29bn,
adj. EBIT (excluding a non-cash fleet impairment of US$39mn as it intends to retire its Embraer fleet) of US$106mn (-37% y/y), yielding
an 8.2% adj. margin (-700bps y/y). Net leverage improved marginally to a still very high adj. net debt/EBITDAR of 6.4x (vs. 7.0x in Q3);
(ii) Avianca’s 2019 outlook calls for an EBIT margin between 7% and 9% (vs. 2018 adj. margin of 7%). Most importantly, as part of its
new strategy to strengthen the company’s profitability and reduce leverage, AVH is now guiding to a conservative capacity outlook for
2019, with an increase in the range of 0-2% and a load factor of 81-83% (vs. 82% in 2018).

Strengths: (i) leader in high growth markets, such as Colombia and Central America; (ii) lowest exposure to FX fluctuations compared
to competitors across Latin America; iii) new strategy of capacity rationalization and focus on profitability and deleverage; (iv) JV with
Copa and United Airlines; (v) position of United in the board - could increase with collateralized loan by 51% of Synergy stake,
Kingsland put option on their shares, by 2023, which will likely end in the hands of United, and a United 70mn shares call option.

Concerns: (i) exposure to currency and fuel price volatility; (ii) failure to extend debt maturity (refinance the 2020 bond within 2019);
(iii) very high leverage, weak liquidity (cash at 5.7% of LTM revenues) end relevant refinancing needs; (iv) risk of increase in competition
from low cost-carriers. (v) FX mismatch (although fairly balanced revenue & cost exposure).

Azul (B+ / Ba3) Airlines


Our view: We have a positive view on Azul on the back of its competitive advantages stemming from its well-developed network,
where the company faces less competition, with monopolies in some routes. This allows the company greater pricing flexibility and to
deliver the highest operating margin amongst Brazilian peers. On top of that, we appreciate management’s track record and Azul’s
sound governance. With the Avianca acquisition (and even without it) Azul’s capacity growth is moving towards higher competitive
routes, which could be a concern. Nonetheless, Azul stands to benefit strongly from the recovery of the Brazilian economy (high beta)
and a more disciplined competitive landscape in the domestic market. Azul 202s bonds (6.7% YTM and 435bps z-spread) have
tightened to a fair level at this point, trading 70bps over LATAM 24’s. Like GOL the bonds trade with a high beta to BRL.

Recent: i) Azul announced a non-binding proposal to acquire some of Avianca Brasil’s operating assets (a UPI that would include its
operating certificate, 70 slot pairs and 30 A320 aircraft) for up to USD105mn, that was rejected by creditors. To acquire Avianca’s slots
Azul will have to take part in the upcoming auction; ii) Azul posted good 4Q18 results with EBIT at R$283mn, with margin down 250bps
y/y to 11.4%, driven by 17.3% devaluation of the Brazilian real and the 37.2% increase in fuel price. Operating margin was 8.8% for
the full year adjusting for non-recurring items. EBITDAR was up 14.5% to R$763mn (30.7% margin, flat y/y). On a FY basis, adjusted
EBITDAR increased 13.5% reaching R$ 2.6bn. RASK increased 2.7% y/y in 4Q18 and 7.6% y/y in 2018. Passenger traffic grew 14.5%
on a capacity increase of 14.1% resulting in a load factor of 83.0%, 0.3 percentage points higher than in 4Q17. CASK ex-fuel decreased
8.1% despite the 17.3% depreciation of the Brazilian real. For the full year, CASK ex-fuel decreased 2.4%. Azul’s leverage ratio
calculated as adjusted net debt to EBITDAR stood at 4.3x in 4Q18. The company finished the year with a cash position of R$2.9bn.

Strengths: (i) exposure to routes with less competition, able to charge higher premium, ii) capacity rationalization in Brazilian market
with companies growing capacity at or below demand, and strengthened by the Avianca Brasil bankruptcy (iii) hedging policy mitigates
FX volatility and provides low BS exposure (HC assets cover ~5x HC liabilities), (iv) good management.

Concerns: (i) increasing exposure to higher competition routes, (ii) risk of higher committed capex with the Avianca Brasil acquisition,
(iii) expected volatility with pension reform impacting FX

Gol (B- / B1 / B) Airlines


Our view: After several difficult years, GOL is now in a sweet spot to reap the benefits of better economic prospects in the Brazilian
airline industry. Capacity rationalization, bankruptcy of Avianca Brazil (to which GOL has the highest network overlap), measures to
strengthen the balance sheet, cost efficiencies, lower fuel taxes and the transition to lower cost fleet are all driving a better outlook for
tis financials. The B/S improved considerably with net leverage expected decline below 4x going forwards (on an Adj. Net Debt /
EBITDAR basis). Still, there are several concerns, namely i) delays on the fleet transition program due to the Boeing 737 Max 8 issues,
and ii) BRL volatility which has been the main driver of the bond’s performance, given GOL’s high FX risk exposure. We see GOL as
a high beta bull case on Brazil (and the BRL), with GOL 25s (8.1% YTW,577bps z-spread) offering an attractive spread pickup of
220bps over LATAM 24s and 150bps over Azul 24s.

Recent: (i) GOL announced that it will take part in Avianca’s restructuring process, bidding for slots for at least US$70mn and at least
one UPI in an upcoming auction; (ii) US$300mn 2024 Convertible bond issuance (at a low 3.75% coupon) for liability management
purposes; (ii) 2019 guidance maintained, with sales around ~R$12.9bn in 2019 and ~R$14.2bn in 2020, but operating margins were
revised upwards, reflecting lower jet fuel costs (18% in 2019 and 19% in 2020, both increasing by 100bps). Net leverage targets
(IFRS16 adjusted) are of 2.9x and 2.4x for 19 and 20, respectively; (iii) good Q: revenues +10% y/y R$3.2bn with EBIT margin at 21%
- a solid 6.6% yield improvement & load factor of 81.9% (+90bps y/y) drove RASK up 7.5% y/y. CASK ex-fuel was up 4%, mainly on
a weaker BRL; Following the strong EBITDAR expansion (+54% y/y), GOL’s balance sheet deleveraged further, with adj. net debt-to-
LTM EBITDAR (ex perps) at 3.6x (from 4.8x last Q). Cash position remained healthy at R$2.1bn (from R$1.9bn last quarter).

Strengths: (i) strong market position in Brazil (36% market share); (ii) rational competition in Brazilian market, strengthened by the
Avianca Brasil bankruptcy; (iii) taking measures to strengthen the balance sheet & achieve cost efficiencies such as network
rationalization, liability management; (iv) high liquidity; (v) cost savings with lower fuel tax and the transition to the newer aircrafts.

Concerns: (i) exposure to volatile jet fuel/oil prices; (ii) very high FX risk exposure (~15% revenues in USD, 88% of debt in USD); (iii)
risks associated with the Boeing 737 Max 8 (delays in fleet renewal); (iv) risk of higher capex with the Avianca Brasil acquisition

Latam Airlines (BB- / Ba3 / B+ {Pos}) Airlines


Our view: While momentum for airlines remains very positive in Brazil, which represents 35% of Latam revenues, Latam’s remaining
markets show a more challenging competitive scenario (i.e. higher competition in international routes, Sky entrance in Peru and high
competition in Chile domestic and Argentina decline). Also, the resumption of higher capex spending 2019-on (which was reduced in
2018) and the Multiplus tender offer should put some pressure on cash generation in 2019. We expect more Brazil-exposed airline
peers Gol and Azul to offer better prospects this year, both in terms of profitability as well as in deleveraging trends. We believe LATAM
bonds offer an attractive carry and are a more defensive play than peers (more diversification, less exposed to BRL trends and
balanced FX exposure) but that there’s not much spread tightening to capture, with Latair 24s trading at 6.0% YTM & 365bps z-spread.
Recent: (i) LATAM will participate in the Avianca restructuring process, bidding for slots for at least US$70mn and at least one UPI in
an upcoming auction; (ii) solid Q4 especially considering the 28% increase in fuel costs and depreciated local currencies; revenues
increased 0.8% y/y to US$2.79bn, while reported EBIT increased 9% y/y to US$295mn, with EBIT mg at 10.6% (+80bps y/y). Overall
adjusted US$ RASK ex-cargo was down 4% y/y (on yields down 1.6% and load factors down 200bps) reflecting (1) a 6.2% decline in
Domestic Brazil (which, in BRL terms, would have been up 10.2% y/y); (2) International RASK decline of 9.1% y/y, affected by long-
haul routes from Brazil and demand from Argentina; and (3) an 8.2% decline in Domestic SSC, on weaker currencies and hard comps
in Colombia. CASK ex-fuel was down 15.6% y/y, another positive showing, reflecting ongoing efficiency initiatives and local currency
depreciation; (iii) concluded Multiplus tender offer for the delisting of the company (0.2x negative impact on leverage); (iv) LATAM is
still waiting for US regulatory approval of the Joint Business Agreement with AA – last pending step.

Strengths: (i) hedging policy mitigates FX volatility; (ii) leader in high-growth markets and strong international network; (iii) diversified
revenue generation in terms of point of sales and ASK; (iv) benefiting from Brazil macro and industry trends (35% of revenues).
Concerns: (i) moderately high financial leverage; (ii) exposure to volatile FX and fuel prices (mitigated by hedging policy); (iii) growing
competition in international routes with global capacity growth; (iv) increase in competition from low-cost operators;

Credito Real (BB+ {Neg} / BB+) Small & Mid-Size Banks


Our view: Credito Real continues to grow, maintaining adequate NPL levels and strong levels of capitalization (43.5% as of Q4, or
31.8% excluding the perps issued in 2017). Naturally, CREAL is very exposed to macro trends in Mexico (especially its funding or a
potential deterioration in labor markets) and has responded as a high beta play to Mexico’s shifting political environment. Nonetheless,
the spread pick-up over BB peers in the country has risen to an attractive +300bps. That said, CREAL 23s trading at 5.9% YTW and
360bps of z-spread, 55bps inside Unifin seem moderately attractive, in our view, considering CR's better ratings and capitalization
levels. The recently issued 26s look juicier trading 15bps inside Unifin and offering an attractive carry at 7.9% YTW.

Recent: (i) good Q4 results, as financial margin (NII) expanded 25.5% and net income grew 29% y/y; ROAE was flattish at 14.6% in
Q4 and down 3p.p. to 13% for FY18 (average equity rose on the back of the perp issuance; excluding the perp bond, ROAE would
have been up 2.4%); loan portfolio grew 25% y/y & 4% q/q, driven by SME (+111% y/y) and payroll in Mexico (+28.5% y/y). NPLs
improved 40bps q/q to 1.7% and remains one of the lowest in the industry; (ii) For 2019, CREAL guides for 20% loan portfolio growth
and double-digit net income growth, with stable ROA and provisioning. The company’s funding cost increased 30bps y/y to 12.0% and
management guided for an increase ~50bps in 2019 due to the issuance of the 2026 notes.

Strengths: (i) high quality and diversified loan portfolio (low-risk products, with a big share of payroll loans), (ii) market growth potential
(plenty of room to grow in SME’s segment and US); (iii) strong capital structure (43.5% capitalization ratio); (iv) strong portfolio
expansion in the last couple of years (CAGR 16-18 of 23%), through both organic growth and M&A; (v) improving levels of NPL’s,
maintaining healthy provisioning; (vi) opportunities arising within the Mexican administration objective to increase financial inclusion in
the country, partnering with federal government (using CREAL platform to reach and inject credit into SMEs and entrepreneurs).

Concerns: (i) funding mix with relevant reliance on capital market (37% in senior loans), although CREAL has access to credit lines
with both commercial and development banks ; (ii) competition and government entering low-income lending market might hurt financial
margins; (iii) high beta to the Mexican economy growth and labor market conditions; (iv) increased cost of funding due to pressure on
the sovereign; (v) FX mismatch risk
