J.P. Morgan
U.S. High Yield Credit Analyst
Focus List
2Q13
This is our twenty-third quarterly Analyst Focus List (AFL) highlighting
ow sector analysts' best ideas. Starting with this issue, we are publishing
the high yield portion of our AFL as a standalone report.
Investors have complained for a long time that the high yield market has
felt picked over. While find flows have favored loans YTD, and our index
briefly backed up to about 6% in February, investors wonder whether to
call today's Index yield of 5.7% "high yield." Still, everything is relative.
Inside this report you'll fund 20 long ideas and 4 shorts that we think have
the potential to outperform in the next three months. These ideas are the
product of extensive bottoms-up analysis and our analysts are, as always,
available to talk through their assumptions and rationales.
This quarterly roundup is a complete refresh; ideas not carried over and
presented again are considered superseded by new ideas. Names may be
removed intra-quarter where a valuation target has been largely or wholly
achieved or the original rationale is considered no longer valid. New ideas
can also be added intra-quarter. For intraquarter additions or deletions,
analysts will post a brief summary of their rationale to our J.P. Morgan
Markets website. Please check J.P. Morgan Markets for the most up-to-
date AFL at any time.
We hope you find this report helpful in meeting your investment
objectives.

AMR Corp. (AMR)
J.P.Morgan
Buy AMR 7.0% B-Tranche 11-1 EETCs
(31-Jan-18 maturity, 8-Feb-17 AL)
Offered at $106.125 (5.19% yield); Target: $108.5 (4.52% yield)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• AMR Corporation is the parent company of American Airlines, one of the
world's largest international airlines. On 29-Nov-I I. AMR filed for Chapter I I
bankruptcy protection. On 14-Feb-13, AMR and US Ainvays announced plans to
merge. On 27-Mar-I3, the bankruptcy judge overseeing the case approved the
merger. Final Doi and DoT approvals are expected later this year. We expect an
exit from bankruptcy and merger in early 4Q13.
• This deal is backed by 15 x 737.800s (1999-2001), 6 x 757-200 ETOPS (1999,
2001), 2 x 767-300ERs (1999), and 7 x 777-200ERs (1999, 2000). The 7.00%
bonds are the B-tranche behind the 5.25% A-tranche.
•
Using a mean of appraisals from Aviation Specialists Group (ASG) and Ascend
Worldwide, we calculate a current market value loan-to-value (LTV) of 84.9%
through this B tranche. After applying our haircuts, we calculate our IPM LTV of
91.2% (assuming full draw of the liquidity facility which covers 18 months of
interest). The step-up in leverage from the As to the Bs is 19.4%.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
We think the A-B spread in EETCs is too wide (the current range is —200-
250bps; we think fair value is 75-100bps). For the AMR 1 1 -I deal, the A-B
spread appears wide at —220bps. In general, we expect B-tranches to outperform
A-tranches going forward. Note that the average senior/sub spread in FIG Banks
is only 55-60bps.
•
The —220bp spread pick-up for 19% of leverage is too wide, in our opinion, given
the fact that these core-to-the-fleet aircraft are cross defaulted and cross
collateralized, minimizing the probability of a rejection in the event of another
AMR bankruptcy down the road.
• We expect ratings on the 7%s to rise 2-3 notches once AMR emerges from Ch.
II and the agencies re-rate the issuer higher (the upside at Fitch is higher if they
rate the deal). Our target yield is that of our current HY BB index, which we
believe is achievable for the 7%s given the short •17 average life.
• We expect New American Group to achieve higher EBITDAR margins than
DAL and UAL in 2014, in part due to AMR and LCC unions' negotiating away
profit sharing. Specifically, we expect 2013/2014 EBT1DAR of S6.0bn and
$6.8bn. or 14.9% and 16.1% margins, respectively. See our merger model here.

Dana Holding Corp. (DAN)
Buy DAN 6.75% Sr. Notes due 2021
Offer: $110.00 (4.1% YTW, 380bp STW)
Target: $112.00 (3.4% YTW, 311bp STW)
J.P.Morgan
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Over the past four years. Dana has lowered leverage by 2.3x (despite acquiring
controlling stakes in two of its JVs) via EBITDA growth, stock issuance, asset
sales and free cash flow generation.
• Despite guiding to a 2% decline in sales, Dana expects FY13 EBITDA to grow
3% and free cash flow to total $250mm.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• Credit Improvement: We project Dana will generate FY13 EBITDA of
$808mm, milking in coverage of 11.5x, leverage of 1.1x and net leverage of
negative 0.5x. We note that the gross leverage levels are roughly half the average
leverage in the J.P. Morgan High Grade index and that net debt is expected to
decline 0.2x y/y.
• Total Return Potential: Should the 6.75% notes (B2/BB, stable/ positive
outlooks) due 2021 converge with J.P. Morgan's BB index (358bp STW),
investors could achieve a 6.7% total return in the next year (or 9.0% to the 3PM
split BBB Index). We believe an upgrade is likely and these returns would exceed
the 5.7% YTW of the JPM HY Index and the 4.7% YTW of the Auto sector.
• Relative Value: We expect Dana's notes to generate more total return than
similarly rated bonds of LEA, DLPH and TRW, all of whom have similar credit
profiles but are more shareholder friendly with their free cash flow, have more
European exposure (3 peers generate 40% of sales from European production vs.
28% for Dana) and are less levered to the heavy duty market. Lear's 4.75%
Ba2/BB rated notes of 2023 are offered at 45bps inside Dana's bonds, TRW 4.5%
Ba2/BB rated notes of 2021 are 99bps inside and Delphi's Bal/BB+ rated notes
of 2023arc 64bps inside. In turn, despite their shorter duration (3 competitor
bonds mature in 8-10 years vs. 3-year 1st call for Dana), Dana's notes offer 6.1%
current yield vs. 4.7% for its peers.
• Liquidity: In FY13, we estimate Dana will generate $424mm in core free cash
flow (EBITDA less capex, interest and taxes), which represents 47% of its
outstanding debt. Dana's bond covenants are fairly weak, as they offer little
protection over restricted payments to equity holders. Despite our projection for
Dana to spend $104mm on preferred and common dividends and repurchases of
common stock, we expect Dana to generate $203nun of free cash flow. We
contrast this fully loaded free cash flow versus projections of negative $391mm at
Lear and negative $348mm at TRW due to their shareholder friendliness. Dana
also has no considerable outstanding debt maturing until 2019 and $1.4bn in total
liquidity.

Jaguar Land Rover (TTMTIN)
Sell TTMTIN 5.625% Sr. Notes due 2023
Offer: 5105.875 (4.7% YTW, 342bp STW)
Target: $97.25 (6.0% YTW, 430bp STW)
J.P.Morgan
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) designs, develops, manufactures and sells premium
sports sedans and sports cars (Jaguar brand) and premium all-terrain vehicles
(Land Rover brand). During its 3Q12 ended Dec. 2012, JLR's revenues grew 1%
to £3.8bn but its EBITDA fell IrA to £0.5bn due to elevated product
development costs and mix degradation. After £0.2bn of YTD cash bum, JLR
ended 3Q12 with net debt of negative £0.3bn. At Dec. 2012, the company had
cash of £2.1bn and undrawn committed facilities of £1.0bn.
Why This Pick Should Underperform:
• Credit Profile: For FYI 3E we estimate JLR will generate EBITDA of £2.2bn.
After backing out nearly £0.9bn of capitalized R&D, EBITDA would total £1.3bn
and total leverage would be 1.7x. We expect EBITDA to lag its £2.4bn of
expected cape; taxes, interest and pension provisions. While some of this cash
bum is offset by £0.5bn in estimated working capital inflows, JLR's capex should
remain elevated for the next couple years. Due to JLR's new UK engine facility,
its JV in China with Chery and potential for projects in Brazil and Saudi Arabia,
we project 2014-15 capex to average £2.7bn per year. These levels of capex arc
£1.0bn above the average annual capex experienced in FY12-13. More
importantly, JLR's FY14-15 capex is expected to exceed fully loaded EBITDA
(before backing out capitalized R&D) by £0.3bn.
•
Relative Value: JLR's 5.625% Ba3/BB- rated notes of 2023 are offered at 4.7%
YTW and 342bp stt. These levels compare to the 5.3% YTW and 493bp stt
generated by Chrysler's 8.25% BIB rated notes of 2021. Chrysler also has close
to zero net debt, but is less European focused. Furthermore, Chrysler generates
free cash flow, as its FY13 estimated EBITDA exceeds capex by StSbn. We
expect JLR's FYI4 EBITDA (ex capitalized R&D) to lag its capex by £0.6bn.
• European Exposure: During the LTM as of Sept. 2012, JLR's sales were split
between Europe at 22% (ex Russia and UK), UK 19%, NA 18%. China 19%, AP
5% and ROW 17%. We note that its 41% combined European exposure could hurt
results in the future. IHS is projecting total European production to be down Wo y/y
in IQI3 and down 3% for FY13 after declining 5% during FYI2. We expect JLR
to outpace overall EU volumes due to its luxury focus and new products, but note
that profits have been hit over the past two quarters due to mix (new lower priced
products selling more volumes but less profits than prior products). For example.
JLR's 3Q12 retail volumes were up 14%, but its EBITDA was down 17% and
caused its EBITDA per retail sale to plunge 27% y/y.

WideOpenWest (WOWFINFIN)
J.P.Morgan
Buy WOWFINFIN 13 3/8s '19 @ $113.75, 9.95% ytm
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Financial results for WideOpenWest have been generally in line with our
expectations. Unit adds have been slightly below our estimates, as we suspect
chum remains elevated in acquired Knology markets, but reported revenue and
adjusted EBITDA growth has been in line (+4% to +5% y/y). We expect similar
results/trends in 1Q13 (+3% revenuc/EBITDA growth; slightly negative PSUs)
and for results to pick up momentum beginning in 2Q13 (timing of rate increases,
progress on Knology integration, etc.). We continue to model full-year revenues,
reported adjusted EBITDA, and capex of —51.25bn (+4%), —5452mn (+8%), and
5230mn, respectively.
•
Following the company's successful hank refinancing, we note WOW is now
FCF positive on a runrate basis (albeit slightly). WOWFIN recently refinanced
its $1.915bn TLB with a new $1.96bn facility (incremental for fees/revolver
paydown). We estimate this refinancing will save the company —530m in annual
interest expense. With this event behind the company, we think focus for
investors should shift to operational execution, which we expect to show more
meaningful progress in 2Q13 and beyond.
•
We expect leverage to improve during 2013. At year-end 2012, total net
leverage was 7.0x, unsecured leverage was 6.3; while bank leverage was 4.6x.
We forecast these metrics to decline to 6.6x, 6.0x, and 4.4x at year-end 2013.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
We continue to view WOWFIN as our top total return idea within HY
cable/satellite. In our opinion, WOW bonds still offer double-digit return
profiles (big coupons), even after a few points of run-up since the beginning of
2013. This compares to our 4% to 6% return expectations for most other high-
yield cable/satellite bonds and a HY market trading just inside 6%. Although the
bonds have already hit our original price targets (January 28, 2013 initiation
report) we still think upside exists, particularly in the 13 3/8% subordinated notes.

Offered at $77.50 (13.81%); Target $94.66 (10.0%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Momentive Performance Materials is a former subsidiary of General Electric that
was purchased by Apollo Management and its affiliates via a leveraged buyout in
December 2006. The company is the world's second largest producer of silicones
and silicone derivatives and is a global leader in products derived from quartz and
specialty ceramics.
• On April 1st, Momentive reported in-line 4Q12 results. Segment EBITDA of $50
million was in line with our estimate of $51 million. Momentive results improved
sharply from a very disappointing 4Q12, driven by cost reduction initiatives and
volume increases in the silicones business, but still remain well below normalized
earnings levels. Momentive finished 4Q12 with $362 million of liquidity, up
sharply from 3Q12. The company also disclosed that it has entered into a new
$75 million cash flow facility to supplement the company's $270 million ABL
facility.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• The company began to comp positively on EBITDA in 4Q12 as the silicones
industry continues to grow into capacity. Leverage remains highly elevated;
however, we do not believe anything is fundamentally broken in the Momentive
business model. Modest volume growth and fixed cost absorption are the focus
for 2013, and should help drive Silicones earnings higher sequentially through the
year. Price increases in silicones are likely a 2014 story at best. Additionally,
quartz results should improve through 2013 as semiconductor demand recovers.
In the interim, liquidity looks strong (PF 4Q12 liquidity north of $435 million),
and the company has no maturities until 2016.
•
Longer term the sustainability of the capital structure remains a question.
However, the company has many potential options to address the capital
structure, including debt-for-equity swaps, refinancing of expensive first and 1.5
lien debt, asset sales, and potentially a merger with sister subsidiary Hexion.
Most importantly, we are very comfortable with enterprise valuations greater than
$2.5 billion, and that implies a very high recovery floor on the 9% Notes no
matter the capital structure machinations.

Tronox (TROX)
J.P.Morgan
Sell TROX 6.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020
Bid at $96.50 (6.99%); Target: $91.09 (8.00%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Tronox is the fifth largest global producer of both titanium dioxide and titanium
feedstocks. Titanium dioxide has an unparalleled ability to impart the color white
and is very difficult to substitute in painting and dying applications. The TiO2
industry has all the hallmarks of a very profitable commodity, with growing
demand, low threat of substitution, and a high concentration of market share
among a few participants. However, with the exception of a few brief moments of
success, the industry has generally disappointed.
• On February 2Ist Tronox reported disappointing 4Q12 results. Reported
EBITDA of $71 million compared with the pre-released EBITDA of $70 million.
Reported results matched the preliminary results provided earlier in the month,
but Pigments results were surprisingly negative. Tronox burned cash during the
quarter, driven by a large outflow from accounts payable. Management expects
pigment prices to decline further in IlQ13, consistent with other industry players.
Why This Pick Should Underperform:
• The profitability of the pigments and mineral sands industries are highly
dependant on operating rates given their commoditized nature. Softening demand
from European and Asian construction markets, highly elevated inventories and
lower per unit customer consumption has driven a significant decline in pigment
volumes and pricing since 2Q12. The recent collapse in pigment demand has also
significantly impacted the mineral sands industry, which is heavily dependant on
the pigments end-market. Mineral sand prices are down 10-30% across grades
YTD, despite significant reductions in production from industry leaders,
including Iluka.
•
On recent calls, Tronox has noted that it is interested in pursuing strategic
opportunities and the stated priority use of the company's new term loan is
potential acquisitions. Separately Rockwood CEO Seifi Ghasemi has said that
Rockwood will "pursue every possible option" to divest the company's
Sachtleben pigments portfolio during 2013. Additionally, given Huntsman's
efforts to buy Tronox out of bankruptcy, media reports have focused on the
possibility Tronox would buy Huntsman's TiO2 assets instead. We believe the
acquisition of either of these assets would be a significant leveraging event for
Tronox, as we outlined in our recent initiation.
• Tronox B2/BB- rated bonds currently trade inside 7%, and we believe a
downgrade from S&P would likely push bonds wider. Current ratings at S&P
look very high given acquisition risk, the cyclicality of the industry, and it's
severely challenged current operating environment.

Edgen Murray Corp. (EDG)
Buy EDG 8.75% Sr. Secured Notes due 2020
Offered at 5105 (7.63%); Target: 5108 (7.00%)
J.P.Morgan
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
Edgen Group is a global distributor of steel products primarily to the energy,
mining, power, petrochemical and civil construction markets. Edgen offers a
broad product catalog of more than 14,000 specialty products and maintains
inventory in more than 100,000 tons of pipes, plate and sections, including highly
engineered prime carbon or alloy steel pipe, pipe components. valves and high
grade structural sections and plate. Edgen also provides OCTG to the upstream
conventional and unconventional U.S. drilling markets. For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2012, Edgen generated pro forma sales of 52.1billion and
Adjusted EBITDA of $145 million.
•
Fundamentals for EDCMUR have softened, but continue to improve year
over year. The company recently provided 2013 revenue guidance of $2.0-$2.2
billion (+2.2% yly) and EBITDA guidance of $142-5152 million (+1.4% y/y).
International and GOM energy are expected to improve, while weakness in North
American should impact OCTG growth. Management expects EU revenues to
improve 10.6% y/y, while OCTG is expected to decline 8.2% y/y.
Why This Pick Should Outperform
•
Continuing to deleverage. We expect the company to continue to deleverage
through out the year, paying down bank debt with excess cash flow of
approximately $70 million. We expect Secured Debt/EBITDA to continue to
improve by YEI 3, to 3.6 x from 4.2x
•
Compelling Relative Value. Secured bonds offered at S105 and 7.6% YTW
look cheap relative other secured Low B/CCC rated distributors of steel products
and Energy service companies that are not deleveraging at the same rate as EDG.
In addition, given the relative YTW of BB (4.4%). B (5.7%) and split B (7.3%),
we believe EDG will outperform

Mohegan Gaming Authority (TRIBAL)
Buy TRIBAL 3rd liens due '12/16.
Offered at $98.750 (10.911%); Target: $101.00
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Mohegan is the largest tribal casino operator in the U.S., with its flagship
property being Mohegan Sun in CT. while it also owns Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs in PA (located on commercial land). Unlike most tribal credits, TRIBAL
is a public filer and has a database of customers in excess of 4 million.
Management has been focusing on diversifying its operations with a small
investment made in A.C. (Resorts) and a management contract in place. TRIBAL
is also vying for a license in Western MA and is pursuing a management
agreement with the Cowlitz tribe for a project in La Center. WA.
• Management recently obtained third-party financing to construct a hotel at its PA
property which should help generate traffic and is also pursuing a new hotel in
CT. In '9/12, the authority implemented a 520mm cost savings program. and
management continues to look for additional cost saving opportunities.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• Attractive Relative Value. These bonds offer one of the highest yields in the
sector at 10.91%, which we believe is quite attractive given management's focus
on deleveraging. In addition, potential upcoming positives include monetizing
non-core assets, refinancing its capital structure, and improving monthly gaming
numbers, while additional cost savings should bolster margins.
• Focused on Debt Reduction/Refinancing. We believe management is already
focused on refinancing its entire capital structure, as its Revolver & TL-A mature in
'3/15, its 10.5% 3rd liens and 11% sub notes are currently callable at par, while its
TUB becomes callable on 3/6/14 and its 2nd liens become callable in 11/14.
Although the company is currently not generating free cash flow, we estimate that in
2015 it will generate just over S50 mm (which is when the relinquishment payments
cease) with FCF targeted at debt reduction. We also believe a non-core asset sale
could facilitate deleveraging, and we estimate its retail mall at the CT property could
generate roughly S 150mm of proceeds. We estimate roughly SI3mm of term loan
amortizations in 2013, and in 2/13, TRIBAL retired a 515.8mm bond maturity and
has a S21.2nun bond maturing in 8/14 which it expects to pay off with cash on hand.
•
Collateral Available. Although TRIBAL is a Native American casino and thus
has a component of sovereign risk, its Pocono Downs facility is not located on
sovereign land and was recently appraised for 5482mm. In addition, collateral
includes a leasehold mortgage in non-gaming assets that produce an income
stream and could be used for a sale-leaseback or an outright sale. These include a
1,175-room hotel. 50-outlet retail mall. 10K seat arena, and convention/meeting
space. Of course any asset sale would need to comply with bank covenants as
well as bond covenants (meaning some debt pay down).

Kinetic Concepts Inc. (KCI)
J.P.Morgan
Buy KCI 10.500% 2nd Lien Notes due 2018
Offered at $109.13 (8.06%); Target: $110.50 (7.72%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
Kinetic Concepts, Inc. pioneered negative pressure wound therapy ("NPWT"),
which represents over 70% of EBITDA today. It diversified into soft tissue
biologics by buying LifeCell for $1.7 billion in 2008 (-12x EBITDA). FYI2
revenues and EBITDA were $1.7 billion and $753 million. Kinetic Concepts has
two segments:
o KCI — advanced wound therapies, over 90% of which is NPWT. For FY 12,
MIS reported revenues of $1.3 billion.
o
LifeCell — market leader in soft tissue matrices, with an estimated 60%
market share. For FY 12, LifeCell reported revenues of $434 million.
•
Acquired in 2011 by Apex, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and the
Public Sector Pension Investment Board for $6.3bn (—8.5x EBITDA).
• In November, KCI sold its TSS (bed business) to Getinge AB for about $250
million. This business had a run-rate EBITDA of approximately $25 million.
•
In January, CMS announced the competitive bidding payment amounts for Round
2. NPWT will face a weighted price cut of about 41% beginning in July for this
Round. The annualized pricing impact is about S30 million.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
In our view, the value of LifeCell, plus cash, about equals first lien debt.
•
We think KCI will deliver 2013 EBITDA of -$700mm vs. our mid-2012
expectation of $640mm. Revenue has been weaker than expected, but cost-
cutting has far outpaced.
•
We don't think competitive bidding results will materially impact pricing on the
non-Medicare NPWT (-90% of NPWT revenues) business any time soon.
•
LifeCell revenue growth should rebound a few percentage points, and modest
acquisitions may add to that in year ahead.
•
Liquidity looks strong with $500mm in cash, and we expect FCF generation of
about S125mm this year, about 3% of total debt.
•
We're not counting on "the device tax" being rescinded. But that has some
bipartisan support and could be a modest boost to EBITDA if enacted.
• The second liens are rated FOB. But they've never traded in line with that index
and now trade close to the CCC index, which has outperformed: The 10-1/2s are
offered only —75bps inside CCCs, vs. an average of 175bps in the last year.

Hovnanian Enterprises (HOV)
J.P.Morgan
Buy HOV 9.125% 2nd Lien Notes due '11/20
Offered at $112.25 (6.39%); Target: $114.000 (5.72%)
Credit and investment Highlights:
• ilOV operates in 37 housing markets throughout 16 states and is the 6th largest
public homebuilder based on closings. The company serves a diverse mix of end
customers with exposure to first-time home buyers (33%), move-up buyers
(33%). luxury buyers (21%), and active adult buyers (13%). Its largest markets
based on revenues include the Southwest (36%), Mid-Atlantic (19%). Northeast
(16%), California (13%), and Midwest (7%).
•
With only $127nun of debt coming due prior to 2016, near-term maturities seem
quite manageable. Although HOV's liquidity options are much more constrained
than its peers, HOV's liquidity levers include its land banking arrangement with
GSO and potentially equity issuance or non-recourse mortgages.
•
We believe these bonds are covered with inventory of $575.2mm and cash of
$219.1mm. This $794.3mm of collateral roughly covers the $577mm 1st lien
bonds and these $220mm 2nd lien bonds. We expect HOV's inventory position to
increase with the improvement in the overall market.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• Strong Housing Fundamentals. We believe the housing recovery is here to stay
and anticipate a very solid spring selling season due to significant pent-up
demand, low inventory, excellent affordability. and the improving job market.
Although the overall sector trades quite rich, this is one of the yieldier bonds in
the sector, as well as one of the few secured bonds.
•
Attractive YTC. We expect these bonds to be refinanced on the first call date
(11/15/15) at $106.844. With ow expectations for a continued housing recovery
over the next few years, we believe HOV could refinance these bonds at a
notably lower coupon, which could save HOV S6mm annually (assuming a 6.5%
coupon). Although this bond has tightened a lot, it still offers 70 bps of pickup
over the JPM HY Index and remains one of the cheapest bonds in the sector.
•
Expected Improvement in Earnings vs. Some of its Peers. We estimate HOV
will generate EBITDA of $137.3mm in 2013 versus $58.3mm for BZH and
5146.2mm for KBH. We estimate HOV's net debt/EBITDA will end 2013 at
9.58x versus 20.4x BZH and 9.44x for KM.
• Other Potential Events. HOV could issue equity/converts (equity market cap is
S750mm versus $366mm for BZH), or HOV could look to clean up the $127mm
of front-end bonds by issuing a new unsecured bond with a longer maturity.
HOV could also once again expand its land banking arrangement with GSO.
• Technical Bid. HOV is the highest yielding issuer in a sector that has significant
positive operating momentum and few secured bonds. 11OV is trading about 240
bps behind BZH's 2nd lien bonds.

Manitowoc Co., Inc. (MTW)
J.P.Morgan
Buy MTW 5.875% Senior Notes due 10/15/2022
Offered at 5105.25 (5.0%); Target: 5108.00 (4.5%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
Geographic and customer diversification in attractive end markets.
Approximately 60% of MTW's business is tied to cranes, with the remaining
40% tied to foodservice. The crane business serves heavy construction,
infrastructure, commercial construction, and high-density residential projects.
The foodservice business services a wide variety of end markets, including food
retail, travel, education, healthcare, and restaurant markets. Nearly 50% of the
business is outside of North America and no single customer accounts for more
than 5% of total consolidated sales.
•
Sensitive to economic cycles. Manitowoc's crane business is highly sensitive to
the macro-economy. Manitowoc's foodservice equipment business diversifies
the company's exposure to the highly cyclical cranes business.
•
Fourth quarter results were solid and in line with our expectations.
Manitowoc reported 4QI2 revenue of SI,130 million, increasing 9% yly, about in
line with our estimate of 51,162 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was
$117 million, improving 32% y/y, in line with our estimate of $120 million.
Margins improved 190bps yly due to operating leverage in the crane business and
cost saving initiatives in the foodservice business. The company's food services
segment has grown over the last year and has consistently improved margins. We
expect margins to continue to expand in both business segments.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
Over the next twelve months, we expect a meaningful decrease in leverage.
Our model shows the company de-levering to the mid-3s or lower by year-end
2013 with very little benefit from MTW's end markets improving. The company
has a stated goal of reducing debt by —$200 million in 2013.
•
The credit remains one of our top risk-adjusts return ideas in Industrials.
While yields are below average relative to the overall high yield market, in the
tightly trading industrial universe we think MTW 5.875s still have upside. Over
the next twelve months, we expect MTW's bonds to support BB valuation. The
J.P. Morgan domestic BB index is now at —4.4%.

108,000 display structures in the Americas outdoor segment and 650,000 displays
across 28 countries outside the Americas through its 89% owned Clear Channel
Outdoor subsidiary. Clear Channel also owns Katz Media Group, a full service
media representation business, and Premiere Networks, a national radio network
that produces, distributes or represents —90 syndicated radio programs and serves
more than 5,000 radio station affiliates.
• On February 28, 2013, Clear Channel priced a 5575mm 11.25% Priority
Guaranteed Note offering due 2021. The proceeds. along with a draw under the
company's ABL and cash on hand, were used to prepay S847mm of its Term
Loan A due 2014. By repaying the Term Loan A, the company gets additional
flexibility to pursue unlimited below par non pro rata dutch tender offers for the
Term Loam B and the ability to use S200mm of cash to repurchase legacy notes
that mature prior to 2016.
•
On February 19th, 2013, Clear Channel reported its fourth quarter 2012 and full
year results. Total 4Q revenues of S1,696.3bn, up +2.6%. and EBITDA of
5546.6mm. up +6.0%, slightly beat our estimates on the back of strength in both
the radio and outdoor segments. Management highlighted pacing data for CCME
of -3% (Radio of +2%), Americas of +2%. and International of -1%.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
While the top line in 2013 will likely be negative in the first half of the year,
related to Europe in Outdoor and Traffic and Network comps in Radio, we expect
YoY expense declines will largely offset the revenue softness, resulting in flattish
EBITDA.
• As Clear Channel looks to address its 2016 bank debt stack (having just repaid
the TL A) via exchanges and extensions, we believe the LBO Notes, which also
mature in 2016, will shortly become the next tranche in focus. We believe an
exchange/extension of the LBO Notes would make it easier for the company to
tackle a larger portion of the 2016 secured stack.
• The —557.4mm AHYDO related par repayment due on August 1st of this year
represents approximately —7% of the issue, and will likely occur prior to any
exchange/attempt to address the LBO Notes. The payment effectively increases
the calculated return of the 11% Notes. Though volatile, the CCMO LBO Notes
offer Media investors well above average yields within our coverage universe.

New Gold Inc. (NGDCN)
J.P-Morgan
Buy NGDCN 7.00% Sr. Notes due 2020
Offered at 5108.125 (5.13%); Target: $110.50 (4.34%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• New Gold is a mid-size gold producer, headquartered in Canada. The
company has four operating mines in the US, Mexico, Australia and Canada.
New Gold produced 412 koz of gold in 2012 with total cash costs of $421 per
ounce. For 2013, the company forecasts gold production of 440 koz to 480 koz at
total cash costs of $265 to $285 per ounce.
• New Gold's New Afton project has outperformed. The Canadian mine met its
targeted June 2012 production start and began commercial production in July
2012. In 4Q I2, the mine operated at 11,700 tonnes per day, above its design
capacity of 11,000 tonnes per day, highlighting New Gold's successful tamp-up.
New Gold also has two development projects: the 30%-owned El Morro project
in Chile and the 100%-owned Blackwater in Canada.
•
New Gold is a low cost gold producer, benefiting from significant by-
products credits. On a consolidated basis, we believe New Gold is at the border
of the first quartile and the second quartile of the industry cost curve.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• New Gold has lagged the tightening of the overall market. In our opinion, the
credit should trade at least 50bps inside of the Split BB index, which implies 2.5
points of upside on relative value alone.
•
We believe gold is better positioned than prices indicate. As recent events
would suggest, geopolitical risk remains in the system. Prices remain low
compared to producers' all-in sustaining costs. The recent nonfarm payrolls report
indicates that the US economy remains weak. European GDP estimates have been
revised downward. We believe this environment will likely drag other
commodities down and that gold will outperform.
•
We forecast an improvement in the company's credit metrics. Even when
using forward prices, we forecast that NGDCN's gross leverage will drop from
I.9x at 4Q12 to 1.7x by the end of IQ13. We expect the company's IQI3
EBITDA will improve y/y by 48%. By I Q14, we expect the company to have
negative net leverage. The company's balance sheet appears stalwart.
Liquidity/debt was 91% at 31-Dec-12 and should increase to 97% by the end of
2013.

Peabody Energy (BTU)
J.P.Morgan
Buy BTU 6.25% Sr. Notes due 2021
Offered at 5104.25 (5.62%); Target: $107.00 (5.23%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Peabody Energy is the largest private-sector coal company, with thermal coal
operations in the US and metallurgical and thermal coal operations in Australia.
The company serves coal customers in more than 25 countries on six continents.
As of 31-Dec-I2, Peabody owned interests in 28 coal mining operations,
including a majority interest in 27 coal mining operations located in the US and
Australia and a 50% equity interest in the Middlemount Mine in Australia. In
2012, 55% of the company's coal revenue was generated from its US operations,
with the rest coming from Australia. In addition to its mining operations, Peabody
is engaged in marketing, brokerage and trading of coal through trading and
business offices in China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore.
Indonesia. Mongolia and the U.S. In 2012. Peabody sold about 75% of its total
sales (by volume) to U.S. electricity generators, 23% to customers outside the
U.S. and 2% to the U.S. industrial sector.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• A weak first quarter is expected. Consensus for 1Q13 EBITDA is $235 million,
down from $409 million in 4OI 2. The lower sequential result reflects higher
costs during the conversion to owner-operator status at two Australian mines, as
well as higher than normal overburden removal, lower realized metallurgical coal
pricing, lower U.S. sales and pricing and startup costs.
•
But the rest of the year should show quarter-on-quarter Improvement. The
conversion to owner-operator status should be completed in April 2013, lowering
costs at those mines. Stripping ratios are expected to drop through the year.
Finally, although we remain cautious on metallurgical coal prices, we believe
they will trend up sequentially. We estimate this will result in 36%. 24% and 10%
sequential quarterly EBITDA growth, in 2Q13, 3O13, and 4Q13, respectively.
•
We believe the company is better positioned than its competitors. The
company's shill into PC1 coal through 201I's Macarthur acquisition has allowed
BTU to take advantage of steel producers' shift in coal blends. The company is a
relatively low cost producer in the PRB. Its PRB and Illinois Basin operations
should begin to see prices rise given greater year-over-year coal usage following
an increase in natural gas prices. Finally, in our opinion, the company's trading
operations and JV relationships provide it with the industry's best coal
knowledge, allowing it to stay ahead of market movements.

Verso Paper (VRS)
J.P.Morgan
Buy VRS 11.375% Sr. Subordinated Notes due 2016
Offered at $58.00 (33.17%); Target: $80.00 (20.00%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
Verso is currently the second largest manufacturer of coated groundwood in
North America with —21% market share and the third largest manufacturer of
coated freesheet in North America with —12% market share. Verso was
purchased by Apollo Management in 2006 and subsequently taken public
through an IPO in May 2008.
•
On March 7th. Verso reported 4Q12 results. Reported EBITDA of $41 million
compared to our estimate of $48 million and the consensus estimate of $44
million. Reported EBITDA results were OK at best, in our view, as strong
volume and price performance were offset by higher-than-expected costs.
However, insurance receipts boosted liquidity more than expected, and guidance
and market commentary were constructive. Verso finished 4Q12 with $204
million of liquidity, up from $132 million at 3Q12. Note also that the company
has announced a preliminary agreement for the sale of the remaining assets at
Sartell and reiterated its expectation of finishing 2013 with over $200 million of
liquidity.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
Following the Holdco PIK exchange, Verso has no debt maturities before the
remaining stub subordinated notes mature in 2016. Additionally, the covenants in
the company's new 11.75% 1.5 lien notes specifically prevent the company from
utilizing its restricted payment capacity except for refinancing the subordinated
notes.
• The Subordinated Notes offer a current yield of 19.6% with a clear maturity
runway and a solid liquidity profile. Verso finished 4Q12 with $204 million of
liquidity, and we expect the sale of the Sartell site and hydro assets will provide
an additional incremental boost to liquidity. We believe Verso will achieve
management's expectations of finishing 2013 with over $200 million of liquidity.
• Industry consolidation continues to seem inevitable over the longer term. Verso's
rejected offer to acquire NewPage valued the company's first liens at over $80.
NewPage's post-reorganization equity is now trading at the equivalent of below
$40. We think it is highly unlikely that the valuation disconnect is allowed to
persist and that some sort of industry consolidation will re-emerge in the near
term. Ultimately, no matter how consolidation unfolds, taking out capacity should
benefit pricing and margins long term and help this industry earn something
resembling its cost of capital.

Toys R Us Inc. (TOY)
J.P.Morgan
Buy TOY 8.5% Secured Propco II Notes due 1-Dec-17
Offered at S106 (5.4%); Target: $108 (2.4%) YTC
Credit and Investment Highlights:
• Toys R Us is an international toy and baby-supply retailer with 875 stores across
the US. 665 international stores and 163 licensed stores operating under the banners
Toys R Us, Babies R Us. and FAO Schwarz. In addition to these stores, the
company operates about 270 "pop up" stores around the holiday in smaller
locations. The company's strategy over the past several years has been to combine
certain Toys and Babies stores to better utilize space and even out store seasonality.
Of its1.540 stores, 183 of its US stores and 170 of its international stores are the
new side-by-side format; 252 stores remain purely Babies R Us.
•
TOY generated $13.5 billion of revenue, —$1 billion of EBITDA. and $251 million
of free cash flow in the FY ended February 2, 2013.
•
TOY was bought by Bain, KKR, and Vornado in 2005 for 8.6x EBITDA, it filed an
IPO registration in 2009, but withdrew that registration last month.
Why This Pick Should Outperform
•
We are Neutral on the TOY credit, as the next three quarters are relatively
insignificant for the company and with no IPO on the horizon, there is modestly
greater dividend risk. It's 8.5% and 10.75% notes, however, are both secured at
SPV property companies, and both are callable this year. We believe the 8.5s offer
attractive yield for short-dated secured paper. The first call date is December I,
2013 (at 104.25), stepping down annually to maturity. The yield to the first call is
near 5.5%, and increases with each subsequent call. We believe there are 2-3
points of upside for this to trade in line with other YTC bonds.
• TOY is focused on improving gross margins and continuing its side-by-side store
roll out, which should better lever its fixed cost structure in each store. This has
improved cash flow over the past several years and allowed TOY to use some of its
excess cash to begin paying down debt. It refinanced over $800 million of
European debt in the past three months with $565 million of new debt, using excess
cash to pay down the rest. We believe the company will do the same when it has the
ability to call its Propco I bonds (10.75% callable in July).
•
While the market appears concerned about overall big-box toy retailing, we point
out that TOY has performed well online (growing this business to over $1 billion
today) and held its share in the market for toys. When we look at the composition
of holiday sales, the company grew its sales of juvenile products (+9.8%, which we
partly attribute to the side-by-side strategy) and learning toys (+1.2%). The
entertainment category remains weak, owing to product lifecycles (-10.5%). and it
decided to forego somc promotion on seasonal goods to preserve margin (seasonal -
I 5.3%)

Hertz Corp. (HTZ)
J.P.Morgan
Buy HTZ 5.875% Sr. Notes due 10/15/2020
Offered at 5105.00 (4.8%); Target: 5106.75 (4.5%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
Hertz is one of the world's leading car and equipment rental brands. Hertz
Global operates one of the largest on-airport car rental companies in the United
States and all major European markets. Pro forma for the Dollar Thrifty
acquisition, Hertz and its independent licensees operate —10,300 car rental
locations in 150 countries. In the equipment rental business, Hertz is one of top
equipment rental companies in a fragmented industry with a 4% market share.
The largest 100 North American rental companies make up only 30% of
equipment rental industry. hertz operates through 315 equipment rental branches
in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, Italy, China and Saudi Arabia.
•
Positive fundamentals in both the car and equipment rental businesses. In
the car rental business, volume was positive y/y throughout 2012. Pricing in the
equipment renal business continues to be strong with volumes continuing to
increase y/y. As a result of these factors, Hertz's corporate EBITDA improved
18% yiy, and margins expanded 140bps in 2012.
•
De-levering credit story. Our model shows HTZ net leverage of 2.6x at year
end 2013 and ISx at year end 2014. Hertz's LTM PF net leverage is 3.3x.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
•
Margin expansion opportunity. The equipment rental business continues to
report strong EBITDA growth. In the fourth quarter, it generated revenue and
EBITDA growth for the eighth consecutive quarter and is still —30% below prior
peak EBITDA. The equipment rental business, about 25% of EBITDA, should
contribute to margin expansion in 2013.
•
Investment grade prospects. While it will likely be several years (2014 or
2015) before Hertz's credit profile can support investment grade ratings. we think
a path to 1O should be visible by year end 2013. Over the next twelve months,
we expect crossover investors to increasingly look at this credit.
•
Attractive on a relative value basis. We think Hertz credit profile today should
support BB valuation. We think bonds look cheap relative to the J.P. Morgan BB
index now at —4.4%.

Buy IPMT 15%/15% PIK Notes due 2018 (HoldCo)
Offered at $76 (22.78%); Target: $80 (21.26%)
Credit and Investment Highlights:
•
iPayment is a credit and debit card merchant acquirer focused on small
merchants. The company's payment processing services enable merchants to
accept credit cards, debit cards, checks, and gift cards as forms of payment for
swipe transactions as well as card-not-present transactions that are conducted
over the Internet or phone. Services provided by 'Payment include: transaction
processing, risk management, fraud detection, merchant assistance and support
and chargcback services related to disputes with cardholders. In December 2012,
iPayment had 170k merchant accounts, with 118k active accounts. The company
processed 522bn of volume in 2012.
•
iPayment's customer base consists of small merchants, which typically pay
higher transaction fees than large merchants due to greater business risk, lower
volumes, and difficulty in identifying them. Thus. iPayment can generate better
margins by collecting the higher fees, while still receiving lower processing costs
by aggregating small merchant transactions to receive larger volume discounts
from their primary payment processor, First Data.
Why These Picks Should Outperform:
•
Results for 4QI2 were fairly good. in our view, although we expect 1Q13 to be
softer. The costs related to the embezzlement investigation were 512.1bn, and we
do not believe the related SEC investigation will result in any significant
discoveries beyond what the company has reported. The 'Payment, Inc. 10.25%
notes due 2018 offer a yield of 12.05% and the iPayment Holdings I 5%/I 5% PIK
notes due 2018 offer a yield of 22.78%. Given the company's competitive
positioning, these yields, and likely industry consolidation, we remain positive on
the name.

national fiber network, manages 55 data centers in North America, Europe, and
Asia, providing collocation services and/or multi-tenant managed services.
comprising about I.4mn square feet of sellable floor space, and offers advanced
entertainment services under the Prism TV and DirecTV brands. CenturyLink
also had 14,700 fiber to the tower builds as of the end of 2012. The company
operates 13.7 million access lines in 37 states and has 5.85 million broadband
subscribers and 1.9 million video customers (including both satellite and IPTV).
• We believe CenturyLink is a better credit risk than peer companies such as
Windstream and Frontier. The company has lower leverage and greater scale than
either of those companies. and has diversified its business away from the
declining revenues associated with consumer voice telephony. We think
CenturyLink, with its predictable cash flows, could become the de facto
benchmark 'BB' place to invest in high yield telecom.
Why This Pick Should Outperform:
• We believe CenturyLink's predictable cash flow will make the company's bonds
a good place for portfolio managers to invest when seeking out bonds with a
relatively low beta. CenturyLink was recently downgraded to below-investment
grade status by all three rating agencies. The downgrades required that
CenturyLink bonds be removed from investment grade bond indices and into
high yield indices, which caused bonds to trade lower as investment grade index
managers adjusted their portfolios. That trade now seems to have run its course.
with the possible exception of CenturyLink long bonds, which still appear cheap
to us as their longer duration tends to be avoided by many high yield investors.
• For investors who can tolerate duration, we particularly like the long bonds of
2042, which offer yields of about 7.89%. If you worry about treasury moves, you
can hedge that bond and get a spread of +500bps, which we believe represents a
bargain.

Explanation of Credit Research Ratings:
Ratings System: J.P. Morgan uses the following sectonissucr portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the
recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). Neutral (over the next three months, the
recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underweight (over the next
three months, the recommended risk position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). 1.P. Morgan's
Emerging Market research uses a rating of Marketweight, which is equivalent to a Neutral rating.
Valuation & Methodology: In J.P. Morgan's credit research, we assign a rating to each issuer (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral)
based on our credit view of the issuer and the relative value of its securities, taking into account the ratings assigned to the issuer by credit
rating agencies and the market prices for the issuer's securities. Our credit view of an issuer is based upon our opinion as to whether the
issuer will be able service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the
issuer's credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage (including and excluding capital
investment). We also analyze the issuer's ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable
companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth rates. margins, and the composition of the issuer's balance sheet relative to
the operational leverage in its business.
