PGS (Sell, TP: NOK3.50) - Questionable headroom

PGS recently raised USD450m in new bond debt at an all-in cost north of 14%, to partly repay its Term Loan B. We estimate it needs to generate USD134m in FCF over the next five quarters to repay the Term Loan B stub from its cash balance. As a reference, 2022 FCF was USD74m and, with tough comparables on late sales and capex guided ~USD50m higher YOY, we believe some might question whether PGS has enough liquidity headroom to cover the USD138m Term Loan B stub maturing 12 months from now.
