Special Focus: Covid-19 and what exposed companies tell us so far

During the past few days we have been collecting feedback from companies in our coverage universe to understand their exposure and the risks derived from the Covid-19 outbreak. We have compiled the statements in a What Companies tell us so far section and tried to provide sensitivities for some companies/parameters.

The focus of attention is clearly moving from China to Europe/Italy. While most Chinese production sites of companies in our coverage have resumed operations (e.g. AT&S, Andritz, Agrana, Lenzing), it might still take several weeks until supply chains and logistics are fully operational. Management attention has now clearly turned to other exposed regions (especially Italy), but given the accelerating spread of Covid-19 in recent days and consequently harsher measures taken by government companies are not yet able to assess the impact of a pandemic scenario in Europe. It goes without saying that travel-related companies are hit most (Flughafen Wien, DO & CO, Wizz Air, Aeroflot) and respond with capacity cuts and short-time work.

We have covered the following corporates in the what exposed corporates tell us so far section of this report: AT names: Agrana, Andritz, AT&S, DO&CO, Flughafen Wien, Lenzing, Palfinger, Polytec, SBO, S&T, voestalpine, Zumtobel. CEE names: Agora, CCC, Ciech, LPP, Valamar Riviera, Wizz Air, MedLife, Purcari Wineries, Aeroflot, Detskiy Mir

We have included a special on banks and insurance. Banks in our coverage universe will likely be impacted by the pandemic scenarios via further NIM pressure due to a lower interest rate environment and rising COR due to increased defaults in exposed sectors or through rising stage-1 provisioning given deteriorating IFRS 9 model parameters. For insurance companies we are less afraid of rising claims of P&C insurance business lines, but we see more risks from the falling yield environment and potentially increasing spreads, mostly on the Life portfolios.

We outline a pandemic macro scenario provided by our economists (i.e. trans-European pandemic, infection wave lasts three to four months, harsher containment measures assumed), where growth in the euro area and the US would be negative in 2Q and the full-year euro area growth rate could come in at 0.1-0.3% for 2020. This implies almost stagnation of the euro-area economy this year (and a subsequent rebound in 2021).

We highlight companies in our universe which should provide some shelter in the current uncertainty and whose business models are relatively immune to a pandemic scenario: CA Immo, EVN, Oesterreichische Post, Rosenbauer, Dino, Eurocash, CEZ, Cyfrowy Polsat, Orange Polska, Digi Communications, Inter RAO, Petropavlovsk, Detskiy Mir

We highlight our BUY recommendations that would also hold in a trans-European pandemic scenario as described below: EVN, Mayr-Melnhof, Telekom Austria, Orange Polska, Digi Communications. Mail.Ru Group, Magnit.
