Country Garden's (02007) rating unhurt by fundraising - S&P
S&P Global Ratings said today that its rating on Country Garden Holdings Co. Ltd. (BB/Positive/--)(02007) are not immediately affected by the China-based developer's US$3 billion proposed share placement and issue of guaranteed convertible bonds. "This is because we expect the fundraising exercise will not materially change the company's leverage, considering the adjusted debt of RMB185 billion as at June 30, 2017." the credit rating agency said. The fundraising exercise will help improve the company's capital structure. The proposed share placement and convertible bond represent approximately 2.1% and 3.6% of the existing issued share capital. Country Garden's shares could increase by up to 5.7%, depending on the conversion rates of the convertible bonds. Part of the proceeds will be used for refinancing the company's existing debt, in addition to general corporate purposes. It thinks the issuance also demonstrates Country Garden's good access to capital markets. A US$3 billion fundraising is sizable compared with recent cash calls by similarly rated peers. The developer's access to multiple funding channels, including the equity market, could provide more flexibility to support its active growth strategy. Nevertheless, S&P believes Country Garden's deleveraging plans will primarily depend on a more prudent financial management during the company's expansion over the next two years. Growth in recent years has been heavily debt-funded.
