Rémy Cointreau S.A.: Syndicated Loan of €100 million

Regulatory News:

On July 2nd 2018, Rémy Cointreau S.A. (“Rémy Cointreau”) (Paris:RCO) signed a syndicated loan amounting to €100 million, funded by a pool of six banks: Natixis, Credit Agricole-CIB (LCL/CA-IDF), Société Générale (CdN), HSBC, CIC and BNP Paribas.

This new facility will mature in 5 years (with a possible extension of 2 years) and includes a margin grid between 35bps and 125bps, depending on the Group’s debt level.

These very favorable conditions reflect the Rémy Cointreau Group’s financial strength.

This deal aims at partially refinancing the existing syndicated loan of €255 million (coming to maturity on April 2019). It also enables the Group to benefit from extended maturity and more attractive funding conditions (125 bps currently).

Natixis has been mandated by Rémy Cointreau to coordinate this transaction.

ODDO : Balance sheets under strain, deteriorating ROIC: too much premi...

In the run-up to the publication of results, attention is focused on signs of a reversal in momentum. We are more concerned about the balance sheet situation. Its deterioration is underestimated and could trigger dividend cuts but, more significantly, strategic adjustments. The quest for premiumisation has undoubtedly overlooked capital intensity. We maintain our preference for quality with Diageo (Outperform, target price 2,400p). Campari upgraded to Neutral (target price € 6.6 vs € 4.2) for it...

En amont de la publication des résultats, l’attention se focalise sur les signes d’inversion du momentum. Nous sommes plus inquiets quant à la situation bilancielle. Sa dégradation est sous-estimée et pourrait provoquer des coupes de dividendes mais surtout des ajustements stratégiques. La quête de premiumisation a sans doute négligé l’intensité capitalistique. Préférence maintenue pour la qualité avec Diageo (Surperformance, OC 2?400p). Campari relevé à Neutre (OC de 6.6 € vs 4.2 €) pour son p...
