Fitch quarterly report: Transparency improves, key data of programs
barely changed
Compared to last quarter's covered bond market analysis, the key metrics
have barely changed at Fitch. The agency has upgraded three programs,
while one has been downgraded. However, the number of positive outlook
designations has declined from eleven to six. Approximately 60% of the
programs continue to be assigned an 'AAA' rating by Fitch. The agency is
pushing ahead with improving its transparency. It publishes to what extent
credit loss, cash flow valuation and asset
disposal loss influence the
2
breakeven OC of individual covered bond programs. Even though the
potential credit risks of cover pools normally receive the greatest attention,
Fitch's quarterly report shows that these aren't the greatest risk covered
bond investors face. It is rather asset disposal losses that represent the
greatest potential risk in the majority of cases (57%).
Portuguese bank in trouble – Banco
7 Espirito Santo requires support
Problems within the corporate group of the Espirito Santo family also weigh
on Banco Espirito Santo (BES). The bank needs to be supported with
government aid. The company is to be split into a “good” and a “bad bank”.
The impaired assets remain with BES. The burdens resulting from this are
12
to be borne by shareholders and subordinated
creditors. Depositors and
other non-subordinated creditors don't have to contribute. The sound
business activities are going to be transferred to a newly founded “good
bank”, Novo Banco. The bank resolution fund will provide it with the
required equity capital of EUR 4.9 bn.
21 For this purpose it will receive a
bridging loan from Portugal's government.
Moody's once again downgrades OeVAG's issuer rating
25 OeVAG continue to decline. The
Support assumptions with respect to
support uplift granted by Moody's now stands at four notches (previously:
six), which is in line with other systemically relevant banks in Austria. This
was the main reason for reducing the institution's issuer rating as well, from
'Ba1' to 'Ba3'. As a result of taking this step, Moody's removes the
company's 'watch negative' status. However, due to ongoing pressure on
both the stand-alone rating as well as support assumptions due to the
BRRD, the outlook remains negative.
Indications of past performance are no
guarantee of a positive performance in the
future!

Fitch quarterly report: Transparency improves, key data of
programs barely changed
Revised CB rating methodology
leads to greater resiliency
against issuer downgrades
In its Q1 2014 report on the covered bond markets, Fitch has taken its
revised covered bond rating methodology as well as changes in support
assumptions into account for the first time. The assignment of IDR uplifts
has resulted in covered bond programs exhibiting greater resiliency
against issuer downgrades. Of the 129 programs which Fitch rates on its
international scale, 43, resp. 33% of the programs would be affected by a
downgrade as of the end of Q2 2014, if the issuer rating were lowered by
one notch. In Q4 2013, this would still have affected the ratings of 45% of
the programs.
Small adjustments to program
metrics in quarterly comparison
Compared to the last analysis, only small adjustments to the key metrics
of the programs have resulted. However, the agency was able to achieve
progress in the implementation of its new rating methodology. Two mortgage
backed programs from Spain (Laboral Kutxa and Santander) and one from
Italy (UniCredit) were upgraded, while the covered bond rating of Bank of
Cyprus has been lowered. The number of programs with a positive outlook
has however declined from eleven to six. In terms of the rating distribution
there is accordingly little change. Approximately 60% of the programs have
been assigned an 'AAA' rating by Fitch. Less than 5% are placed in the high
yield segment.

Improvement of transparency:
Fitch publishes components of
breakeven OC
Apart from taking into account the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive
(BRRD) in its covered bond ratings, Fitch's quarterly report exhibits an
improvement in transparency. At the beginning of July 2014, the agency
already announced that it would disclose the components of the
overcollateralization that secures ratings (breakeven OC). This has now
been implemented with respect to 91 programs (70% of Fitch's covered
bond rating universe). The breakeven OC is subdivided into three building
blocks:
 Credit loss describes the credit risks of the pool. Essentially it
represents the expected losses which result from default
probabilities and recovery rates of cover assets. When interpreting
this metric, one must consider that it refers to the (maximum)
outstanding volume of covered bonds, and not the cover pool. For



this reason, credit loss is slightly above the rating loss rate (RLR),
which has already been published in the past. The latter refers to
the cover pool.
Cash flow valuation compares the stressed present value of
covered bonds and cover assets. The metric takes risks stemming
from swaps, resp. open interest rate and foreign exchange
positions, costs owed to third parties (e.g. fees for alternative cover
pool management) and stressed prepayments into account. The
stressed present value of cover assets can in principle be higher
than that of the covered bonds. Thus the factor “cash flow valuation”
can also lead to a reduction in overcollateralization requirements.
Asset disposal loss expresses the expected losses from maturity
mismatches. In order to service covered bonds on a timely basis in
the event of an issuer default, it will often be necessary to liquidate
cover assets. As it is assumed that this is only possible with
haircuts, Fitch expects a risk buffer in the form of
overcollateralization to stabilize the covered bond rating in this
context as well.
Additional information required
for interpretation of breakeven
OC components
The agency examines whether the overcollateralization is sufficient for a
recovery rate of more than 51%, 71% or 91%. Since it doesn't refer to a
value of 100% in this case, the actual breakeven OC is as a rule below the
aggregate of credit loss, cash flow valuation and asset disposal loss. The
breakeven OC can also diverge from the aggregate of the three factors if the
agency equates them with legally or contractually guaranteed minimum
values. Moreover, Fitch reserves the right to deviate from its modeled
values, so that for the interpretation of breakeven OC components,
additional information must be taken into account.
Asset disposal losses represent
the greatest potential risk for
the majority (57%) of covered
bond programs
Even though the potential credit risks of cover pools generally receive the
most attention, Fitch's quarterly report shows that these do not represent the
greatest risk to covered bond investors. Only in 29% of programs are credit
losses the major factor contributing to the breakeven OC. Rather, the
greatest potential risks emanate from asset disposal losses in the
majority of cases (57%). For the remaining 14%, cash flow valuation is the
greatest risk factor. Regarding the metrics, there are clear differences
depending on covered bond jurisdiction and the underlying type of covered
bond (mortgage, public sector, etc.). Unfortunately there aren't yet any data
available on the breakeven OC of French covered bond programs. Similarly,
for purposes of better comparability, not all programs with a Fitch rating
could be taken into account in the following analysis. Thus it contains only
79 of 131 programs overall, which results in a very small sample size in
several countries.

Asset encumbrance not a
problem for senior unsecured
creditors of the majority of
covered bond issuers rated by
Fitch
In the quarterly report Fitch points separately to its analysis of asset
encumbrance by covered bonds. Just as was the case in the past, this
doesn't represent a problem for the majority of covered bond issuers rated
by Fitch. The risks for senior unsecured investors have actually declined
recently as a result of the preferential claim of covered bond creditors to
parts of an issuer's assets. This structural subordination is even less
important in light of low new issuance volumes. Swedish and Danish issuers
remain ranked at the top with respect to asset encumbrance, which can be
ascribed to the business models of these specialized institutions.

Portuguese bank in trouble – Banco Espirito Santo
requires support
Problems within the corporate
group of the Espirito Santo
family affect Banco Espirito
Santo – the bank has to be
supported with state aid
The major shareholder of Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo (BES), which
belongs to the corporate group of the Espirito Santo family (Grupo Espirito
Santo), already attracted attention with negative headlines several days ago.
Hopes that these problems wouldn't represent an existential threat to the
financial institution were however quickly shattered. A disorderly insolvency
of the institution, which with a balance sheet total of approx. EUR 80 bn. is
among the top three banks in the Portuguese market, could have had a
material negative impact on Portugal's economy. In order to avert this risk,
BES is supported with state aid.
Splitting of the company: BES
becomes a "bad bank"
The restructuring model provides for splitting the company into a “good
bank” and a “bad bank”. The impaired assets remain with BES, which
consist primarily of claims against other entities of Grupo Espirito Santo, as
well as the bank's shareholding in fully consolidated BES Angola. All
shareholders as well as subordinated creditors remain in BES, and thus are
supposed to bear the losses of the impaired portfolio. The bad bank will
subsequently be wound down in orderly fashion. Viable business activities,
which comprise the majority of assets, will be transferred to the newly
founded “good bank”, which is going to be called “Novo Banco”. Nothing will
change for existing customers. The bank resolution fund will provide the
required equity capital in the amount of EUR 4.9 bn. to the “good bank”. The
fund is essentially financed by member contributions (Portuguese financial
institutions) and the bank levy. As the resolution fund has only started to
become active in 2012, its funding is however still far from sufficient. It will
therefore receive a bridging loan of EUR 4.4 bn. from the Portuguese
government. The loan is however only temporary and will be replaced by
loans from domestic banks or the proceeds from a possible sale of Novo
Banco, resp. of its assets.
Transfer of viable business
activities to the "good bank"
Measures in line with the
European commission's rules
It is intended to avoid any direct costs to Portugal's tax payers. The
European Commission's crisis rules for banks of 10.July 2013 stipulate
that “in case of capital shortfalls, bank owners and junior creditors will be
required to contribute as a first resort, before banks can ask for public
funding.” Thus the approach to BES is in line with EU competition rules. In
future bank restructurings, providers of regulatory capital will not be able to
benefit from state aid. The rating agencies have already taken this factor into
account in their ratings of subordinated liabilities. According the EU's rules
on state aid, depositors and other senior creditors do not have to make
a contribution. They are also explicitly excluded from burden-sharing in the
case of BES.
EU commission approves
measures
The EU commission regards the restructuring aid for Banco Espirito Santo to
be in line with the EU's state aid rules and has already approved the
procedure. However, the bridge bank's new business will be restricted, in
order to keep competitive distortions at a minimum.

Moody's once again downgrades OeVAG's issuer rating
Support assumptions for
OeVAG are reduced further, the
rating declines from ‚Ba1‘ to
‚Ba3‘
Moody's has already become active at the end of March 2014 and has
downgraded the rating of Oesterreichische Volksbanken AG (OeVAG) from
'Baa3' to 'Ba1', based on weaker support assumptions. This week the
agency continued in this vein and reduced the rating once again, to 'Ba3'.
Once again, the lowering of support assumptions was the main reason. The
rating action in Q1 2014 reduced the support uplift from seven to six
notches. It now declines further to four notches. Analogous with this, the
issuer rating has declined by two notches as well. With this step the uplift
has reached a level comparable to that of other systemically relevant banks
in Austria. Moody's states explicitly that the support uplift of four notches for
the senior unsecured rating also reflects the buffer provided by subordinated
liabilities amounting to EUR 557 m. (as of 31. March 2014). These would be
affected prior to senior unsecured liabilities in the event of a bail-in.
Rating outlook remains
negative
The bank financial strength rating (BFSR) as a measure of the company's
stand-alone rating has been confirmed at 'E'. The baseline credit
assessment (BCA), which represents an institution's intrinsic strength on a
standard rating scale, remains constant at 'caa1'. As a result of this step,
Moody's removes the company's 'watch negative' status. However, the
outlook remains negative. The agency justifies this with ongoing pressures
on the stand-alone rating as well as on support assumptions due to the Bank
Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). Moody's acknowledges that
OeVAG's capitalization has improved and that is able to report progress on
the winding down of legacy burdens. However, the company's profitability
remains weak. Further losses could thus weigh on the equity capital base.
This is one of the reasons why Moody's sees a risk that the Volksbanken
sector may need to raise additional capital. Apart from this, the agency
stresses that some hybrid capital instruments will no longer qualify as capital
once the Basel III regulations are fully adopted. Moody's doesn't comment
on speculation in Austrian media that the ECB's comprehensive assessment
(CA) could reveal a capital shortfall of EUR 500 to 1,000 m. at OeVAG.
However, the agency regards it as likely that Austria's Volksbank sector – in
combination with deleveraging by OeVAG – is able to cover any potential
shortfalls on its own.
