LFRD H1 Wrap 2024 The leveraged loan market has had a very strong first half of 2024. Volumes have reached USD855.98bn equivalent from 747 deals in H1, nearly four times more than H1 2023’s USD217.59bn equivalent from 308 deals. Over half of these volumes, however, were for repricing existing deals, which have continued unabated in Q2, including a record USD121.02bn-equivalent from 82 repriced deals in May. Repricing figures have reached USD437.75bn equivalent from 316 deals in H1 2024, as supply has not matched the ferocious demand for new money deals. Reported by Jack Unwin and Adam Stubbs.

Competition Continues for Buyout Financing. 2024 is shaping up to be a stronger one for the broadly syndicated loan market (BSL) compared to 2022 and 2023. Attractive yields and spreads are causing a strong demand for floating rate transactions, which has helped to enable a resurgence of activity amongst the largest group of buyers in the BSL market – CLOs. Prices are strong, too; according to JPMorgan, on 24 April for example, 46.8% of the US leveraged loan market was trading above Par, with a further 29% trading between 99-Par.

BSL Market Sees Increase in "New Money" Issuance It has been an interesting year for the Broadly Syndicated Loan (BSL) market to say the least. 2024 has seen consistent frenetic activity, with the leveraged loan pipeline regularly having 30 or 40+ deals in it at any one time. As LFRD has covered at length though, much of this activity has been directed towards repricing existing deals, with repricing volumes currently standing at USD527.87bn-equivalent from 389 deals in 2024. There have been very little “new money” deals for M&A and buyout deals this year, although this began to change somewhat in July, with 20 deals backing LBOs/SBOs and M&As worth USD25.27bn-equivalent, representing a quarter of the volume for that month.

The share of at-risk issuers designated “Weakest Links” in the European leveraged loan market fell again in the first quarter of 2024, echoing the positive momentum the asset class has seen this year, amid shrinking credit spreads and growing investor appetite for risk. That's not to say the rising credit tide is lifting all borrowers. The one Weakest Link leaving the sample did so after a default, and some companies are indeed feeling the strain of higher-for-longer rates. PitchBook LCD's Taron Wade has the complete analysis: https://lnkd.in/eC6txQQZ #credit #leveragedloan #distresseddebt

The US #leveragedloan default rate, including distressed exchanges, hit 4.32% in February, its highest level in three years, as the use of these transactions to manage liabilities continues (there were four distressed exchanges last month). One result: The gap between incidence of this activity and payment defaults proper continues to widen. https://lnkd.in/enBz6UCB #leveragedloans #credit #defaults PitchBook

Flash Info #245- Capital Market Interest Rate Swaps: An interest rate swap is a financial derivative contract where two parties agree to exchange one stream of interest payments for another, based on a specified notional amount of principal. The most common type is a fixed-for-floating interest rate swap. 1. Two parties, let's call them Party A and Party B, agree to the terms of the swap, including the notional principal amount, the fixed interest rate, the floating interest rate index, and the payment dates. 2. Party A agrees to pay Party B a fixed interest rate on the notional principal for the life of the swap. 3. In exchange, Party B agrees to pay Party A a floating interest rate (typically a benchmark like LIBOR or SOFR) on the same notional principal. 4. On each payment date, the two interest payments are netted against each other, and the party with the higher interest obligation pays the difference to the other party.
