Summary of Moody's 2019 Outlook for Non-Financial Corporates in China
Core Outlook
GDP Growth Supports Stable Credit Conditions
- China's GDP growth of 6% in 2019 is expected to support broadly stable credit conditions.
- However, growth is slowing materially and will affect sectors differently.
- Deleveraging will stall for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and slow for private enterprises.
- In the base case, the US-China trade dispute will have limited direct effect on rated companies.
- Domestic funding markets will offset rising offshore bond market costs and liquidity tightness.
Key Credit Themes
- Aggregate revenue and EBITDA for the rated portfolio are projected to rise by 6%-7% in 2019.
- Leverage trends vary by sector; overall EBITDA will increase more than debt.
- High-yield companies will face tighter funding access and rising financing costs.
- Tenors of debt are expected to decrease.
Sector Views
Automakers and Auto Services
- Rated automakers' unit sales growth will differ; dealers and rental providers may benefit from rising vehicle penetration.
- Beijing Auto (Baa2 stable) and Dongfeng (A2 stable) are expected to see improved unit sales and stable leverage.
- Geely (Ba1 positive) will expand market share and leverage improvement from new JV products.
- Revenue growth will slow for Geely and Beijing Auto.
- Leverage will improve for most rated companies.
Chemicals
- Revenue and profit growth will slow alongside GDP growth.
- Companies with diversified product offerings will maintain stable financial performance.
- Specialty chemical producers may face financial volatility.
- Deleveraging is expected for some rated chemical companies due to reduced capex and asset sales.
- US-China trade tensions could weigh on the sector if they escalate.
- ChemChina (Baa2 stable) will continue deleveraging with increased profits and reduced debt.
- Tianqi Lithium (Baa3 review for downgrade) may see leverage increase if it funds SQM investment largely with debt.
Construction and Engineering Services
- Credit quality is expected to remain stable.
- Adjusted debt/EBITDA will remain stable despite higher debt to fund investments.
- Revenue growth will slow but remain strong, supported by domestic and overseas infrastructure investments.
- Metallurgical sectors and domestic power and property development projects will see modest or low revenue growth.
- Leverage for most rated companies is expected to improve.
- Government focus on SOE deleveraging may limit investment growth.
Food and Beverage
- Revenue growth will be modest, with EBITDA margins remaining flat or contracting slightly.
- Upgraded products and higher selling prices will support revenue growth.
- Continued financial discipline will help maintain stable debt and leverage.
- Health and Happiness (Ba2 positive) will generate free cash flow from rising revenue and high EBITDA margins.
Internet
- Revenue growth will remain healthy, but EBITDA margins will contract.
- Marketing and fulfillment costs are rising due to competition in lower-tier cities.
- Most rated companies pre-funded investment needs in 2017-18, limiting debt growth.
- Baidu Inc. (A3 positive) will strengthen financial profile with deconsolidation of financing business and continued cash flow growth.
Manufacturing
- EBITDA growth will support leverage improvement.
- Increased E&P spending, new products, and market expansion will drive strong revenue growth.
- Margins will remain stable or improve slightly with cost controls and economies of scale.
- Midea (A3 stable) and its subsidiary KUKA AG (Baa3 negative) will drive EBITDA growth and leverage improvement.
Metals and Mining
- Leverage will remain stable despite potential EBITDA declines.
- Base metal prices are expected to remain on par with 2018 levels, while thermal coal prices face downward pressure.
- Supply-side reforms and environmental policies will limit price declines.
- Baowu Steel (A3 stable) will see flat leverage and slightly lower EBITDA.
- Cement producers will maintain stable debt/EBITDA due to steady cash flow and disciplined capital spending.
Oil and Gas
- Credit metrics will remain strong for national oil companies (NOCs).
- Free cash flow is expected to remain positive, supporting higher capital spending and dividend payouts.
- NOCs' natural gas businesses will grow quickly, reducing carbon transition risk.
- CNOOC Group (A1 stable) will benefit most from higher oil prices.
Oilfield Services
- Strong revenue growth will drive lower leverage and higher earnings.
- Increased E&P spending and new market entries will support growth.
- Deep-water and ultra-deep-water markets will remain weak due to overcapacity and high service costs.
- Margins will remain flat or improve slightly with cost controls and economies of scale.
Property
- Property sales will decline by around 5% in 2019 due to tight regulation and funding access.
- Leverage will improve as developers recognize past sales as revenue and slow debt growth.
- Gross margins will decline due to rising land and funding costs.
- Rated developers are expected to outperform the market and improve leverage.
- Industry consolidation will favor large and financially prudent developers like China Vanke (Baa1 stable) and China Evergrande (B1 positive).
Retail
- Leverage will improve slightly with sales growth and debt reduction.
- Margins will remain stable as retailers retain bargaining power with vendors.
- Proceeds from property sales will help Maoye (B3 positive) and Golden Eagle (Ba3 positive) reduce debt.
- Refinancing risk for rated retailers has declined due to extended maturities.
- Maoye and Golden Eagle will see continued improvement in leverage and cash flow.
Appendix
- Property companies will see stronger revenue growth compared to non-property companies.
- Revenue growth for property companies is supported by strong contracted sales in 2018.
- Debt/EBITDA for property companies will improve further as revenue increases.
- Non-property companies' debt ratios are expected to remain stable.
- Leverage will decline more for private-owned enterprises (POEs) than for SOEs.
- The property sector is the largest component of POEs, with slower deleveraging for SOEs.
