Announcement: Moody's: Noble's profit warning is credit negative. Global Credit Research- 27 Jul 2017. Hong Kong, July 27, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service says that Noble Group Limited's profit warning for its 2 Q 2017 results is credit negative, and will further increase the challenges the company faces in turning around its operations and tackling large near-term debt maturities.
Noble Group’s plans to sell its global oil and gas trading business and to shrink its trading activities to just the coal energy and metals arena appears to be a viable solution to the company’s current difficulties, in our view. However, the move means a reliance on the less liquid metals-trading activities as its core focus, which we think is less attractive. In our reworked base-case scenario, the company’s equity will likely continue shrinking until 2020, as we see the potential of con...
Noble Group's USD 2 billion borrowing base facility extension was welcome news, sending the company's share price up over 50% over the past two trading days, but it does not change our view on the company. At the moment, we keep our fair value estimate at SGD 0.66 which assumes the company will be able to refinance at least USD 1.2 billion of its committed borrowing base facilities for another year. The current extension is for 120 days and buys time for the company to work out a formal refinanc...
We’ve cut our assumptions on Noble Group’s ability to refinance its debt following the recent downgrade by Standard and Poor’s on its rating. We now cap the company’s refinancing at USD 1.2 billion going forth in our base-case assumption and as a result, we think the company will have no choice but to reduce the quantum of physical trades. This means we think the company will make slightly higher net losses of USD 418 million and USD 92 million in 2017 and 2018, respectively, but a retur...
We are placing our coverage of Noble Group under review pending additional fresh news. Noble Group has halted trading following a share price plunge amid a sharp drop in its bond price that follows a Reuters report that possible discussions for the entry of a strategic shareholder have fallen through. In addition, Standard & Poor’s has downgraded the company’s debt rating to junk. Our current fair value estimate is SGD 1.31 on the prognosis that the company would be able to refinance its bor...

Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Noble Group's ratings to Caa1; outlook negative. Global Credit Research- 15 May 2017. Hong Kong, May 15, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Noble Group Limited's corporate family rating and senior unsecured bond ratings to Caa1 from B2, and the rating on its senior unsecured medium-term note program to Caa1 from B2.
Noble Group’s share price dived 32% on May 11 following a profit warning just hours ahead of the release of first-quarter results. While the SGD 129.3 million first-quarter net loss was disappointing, what’s probably more damaging to investor confidence is the lack of guidance on the disruptions to the spot coal market, which had been dogging the company’s coal trades since February. We think this could further put off lenders to Noble, and we anticipate even higher debt costs if the compa...

Hong Kong, March 06, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B2 rating to the USD senior unsecured notes to be issued by Noble Group Limited. The outlook on Noble's B2 corporate family rating remains negative. "The B2 rating reflects Noble Group's large scale and product and geographic diversity, tempered by weak and volatile cash flow and pressure on liquidity," says Joe Morrison, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer.
Hong Kong, February 28, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service says that Noble Group Limited's 2016 results have no immediate impact on its B2 corporate family rating or the negative rating outlook. "Noble Group's capital raising initiatives allowed the company to reduce debt and alleviate immediate pressure on liquidity, but the company remains challenged by volatile operating cash flow and significant debt maturities in 2018," says Joe Morrison, a Moody's Vice President and...
