DEMO DATAUNDERWRITING ASSUMPTION
HOLD
1
The opportunity
Demo purchase of $100M face of Senior Secured Notes 8.00% at 101.5 (cash investment $102.0M): current yield 7.9%, yield to maturity 7.4%.
2
The question
Does a 7.4% yield on a rank-1 secured claim compensate for 15% probability-weighted default risk and 0% severe-case loss?
3
The thesis
Net leverage ~2x with a modern fleet; the secured notes stay money-good even in the severe case at current asset values. Cyclicality caps position size but the risk-reward vs. other energy credit is attractive.
4
The risk (what causes loss)
  • Downside-case recovery of 100% falls short of the purchase price.
  • Severe case produces a payment default in FY2029E.
  • Severe-case valuation recovery of 100% is below the 101.5 purchase price: a 0% loss given default.
  • Weakest credit-score factor: Revenue stability (0.0 of 8 points).
5
The protection
  • First-priority secured position on substantially all assets; 0% of recovery value is senior to us and 57% through our tranche.
  • Coverage of 4.54x EBITDA / interest; EBITDA can fall 78% before coverage reaches 1.0x.
  • Moderate leverage: net debt / EBITDA 2.0x.
  • Liquidity of $510M (60% of total debt).
6
The base case
Base case (55%): revenue 2.0% in FY2026E, EBITDA margin 20.0%; no default; IRR 7.2%, MOIC 1.22x vs 12% hurdle.
7
The downside
Downside (30%): EBITDA $197M at the trough, peak net leverage 2.6x, covenants hold; no default; IRR 4.1%. Severe (15%): default in FY2029E, IRR 6.5%.
8
The recovery
If the company defaults, recovery value is $497M (liquidation) in the severe case → 100% recovery (0% LGD) on the target tranche; downside 100%.
9
The decision
HOLD. HOLD (do not size yet): Base-case IRR clears hurdle (7.2% vs ≥ 12.0%); Expected-cash-flow IRR (probability-weighted) clears hurdle (6.2% vs ≥ 12.0%); Entry yield meets minimum (7.4% vs ≥ 9.0%).
