361 Degrees International (361)’s 1H’19 results confirm management’s intention to repurchase the bonds and reduce the company’s finance cost. The bond’s underperformance since the results came out on 26-Aug led us to review our recommendation. S&P and Fitch downgraded 361’s senior unsecured debt rating to BB- from BB in March on weakening operating cashflow and competitive position in China’s sport footwear and apparel industry. 1H’19 results and the bond repurchase show us management has the intention to improve the company’s credit ratings.
Together with DEGREE 6/21’s attractive value at 19.5% yield to worst (YTW), 1.5 year in the remaining year to maturity, and ample liquidity to repurchase the bonds, we revise our recommendation on the bonds to OVERWEIGHT from UNDERWEIGHT.
