Posted at 20/11/2024 18:36 by putinaire Fitch Places Diversified ABS Phase II LLC's Notes on Rating Watch NegativeFri 01 Nov, 2024 - 16:47 ET Fitch Ratings - New York - 01 Nov 2024: Fitch Ratings has placed Diversified ABS Phase II LLC's class A notes on Rating Watch Negative. Transaction Summary Diversified Energy Company (DEC), through its wholly owned subsidiary Diversified Production LLC, conveyed a 29.4% non-operating working interest in approximately 50,000 wellbores in the Appalachian basin to Diversified ABS Phase II LLC. The notes are backed by oil and gas proved, developed and producing (PDP) assets with a current IE full-life PV-10 value of approximately $200.5 million (transaction life PV-10 value of $165.3 million). The current valuation is based on strip pricing for oil and gas as of Oct. 17, 2024. Fitch's rating addresses the likelihood of timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal by the legal final maturity in 2037 for the notes. The Negative Watch reflects Fitch's forward-looking analysis, which considers certain expenses, current projected hedge structure, and structural aspects of the transaction. The issuer has been subsidizing a portion of marketing and gathering costs to support ongoing cashflows (DEC owns a substantial portion of midstream assets servicing the ABS wells). Fitch's forward-looking analysis does not credit this in its scenarios. Fully loaded expense and negative movements in gas differentials affect the transaction's potential cash flows. The primary factor negatively impacting future transaction cash flows is the low strike price on the current hedges. The issuer is exploring a restructuring of the hedge profile to significantly strengthen the future cashflows supporting the transaction. Fitch will monitor the execution of this strategy and other factors over the next three to six months to determine if further action is necessary. KEY RATING DRIVERS PDP Production In Line with GC1 (Positive): Fitch considers PDP assets to be very stable and views PDP production as consistent with a 'GC1' and rating levels up to the 'A' category. In this transaction, the underlying collateral is a slice of a diversified portfolio of approximately 50,000 wells, with the majority of production coming from about 20% of the wells. The wells have a weighted average life/seasoning of over 17 years. The decline profile has historically been stable, and Fitch expects it to remain so over the transaction's life. Limited Future Generation Risk (Positive): Future cash flows are expected to continue with limited disruption in the event of an operator bankruptcy. Therefore, Fitch has not directly linked the transaction rating to the credit quality of DEC. However, exposure to operational risks in PDP transactions limits the notes' rating to the 'A' category. Base Case and Stressed Case Production Levels (Neutral): Fitch's base case production levels are derived from third-party independent engineer (IE) reports, which determine reserve estimates and production levels based on the existing PDP reserves and historical performance. Fitch's base case aligns with IE projections due to the historical stability of production, the diversified portfolio, and the average life of the wells. Fitch applied various stresses to the IE production levels, including a two-year shock off Fitch's base case with a 10% reduction during the stress period. Additionally, Fitch ran a flat breakeven production stress of 8.5% in its base case to simulate potential future volatility and overall volumetric risk. Fitch also modeled a prolonged stress scenario with a 1.5% production stress for the transaction's remaining life. Majority of Price Risk Hedged (Positive): The transaction mitigates most price risk through hedges covering approximately 80% of gas production until February 2032 and 85% of oil production until March 2026. Additionally, basis risk for natural gas is hedged for 75%-90% of projected gas production until December 2026. However, the current hedge book's strike prices are lower than current strip pricing, limiting the transaction's future cash flows. Furthermore, the basis differential environment has worsened since closing, reducing revenues per unit of production. Fitch stresses the unhedged portion of the portfolio per its "Future Flow Securitization Criteria." In Fitch's base case, Fitch uses the latest Fitch Corporate Price Deck, applying $64 for WTI and $3.00 for Henry Hub after half-cycle. For a two-year shock scenario, Fitch uses $35 for WTI and $1.80 for Henry Hub during the stress period. In a prolonged stress scenario, Fitch applies $55 for WTI and $2.67 for Henry Hub. Hedges mitigate some commodity price risk, but unhedged exposure and the rolling nature of hedges limit the transaction to the 'BBB' category. Net Cash Flows Subject to Operating Expenses (Negative): The securitized revenue stream relies on net cash flows (NCFs) from each well, which depend on production levels and wellhead prices minus all expenses, including gathering and transportation (G&T). While individual wells may face some cost volatility, overall portfolio costs remain stable. DEC currently partially subsidizes G&T expenses, as permitted under the documentation. Fitch does not credit this subsidy in future expense projections, and is using approximate market rates instead. Fitch stressed market rate expenses by 3% in Fitch's base case, and 10% during the stress period in the two-year shock scenario. Fitch also stressed expenses 4% in a prolonged stress scenario. Leverage and Coverage Levels (Negative): Fitch uses the loan life coverage ratio (LLCR) to to assess coverage adequacy in different scenarios. Based on IE projections, the LLCR for class A notes is 1.96x. In Fitch's base case, the LLCR is 1.41x, and in the two-year shock scenario it is 1.18x. If considering the current subsidy supporting G&T expenses, the LLCR would be 2.79x, 2.27x and 2.03x in these scenarios, respectively. DSCR levels are expected to breach triggers in both the IE and Fitch base cases as principal amortizations step up over the transaction's remaining life. This step-up in amortization occurred at the five-year anniversary of the notes and was due to an assumption in the initial projections that uneconomic wells would be shut-in after the initial five years. DEC has continued to keep in operation the overwhelming majority of its wells, which results in higher fixed costs compared to initial projections. While the issuer has been reducing these higher projected expenses by covering G&T, Fitch does not include this reduction in its projected cashflows. More impactful to projected cashflows is the remaining hedge book, which has prices significantly below strip prices. Differentials have also become more negative within this region since the transaction's close. Fitch's base case full-life LTV for the class A notes is 78.2% (91.9% using transaction life PV-10). Financial Structure (Positive): The transaction benefits from significant structural protections like backward-looking cash sweep mechanisms based on DSCR and production tracking levels. An LTV trigger offers a forward-looking view of overall leverage relative to expected value. Cash-sweep triggers allow accelerated de-levering if performance falls short of IE base case expectations, though they are not currently active due to subsidized midstream expenses. Additionally, the transaction benefits from a six-month liquidity reserve account to cover monthly interest payments and senior expenses. Counterparty Risks (Neutral): Fitch analyzed the transaction's counterparty risk per its "Structured Finance and Covered Bonds Counterparty Rating Criteria." Eligibility thresholds are outlined as investment grade, aligning with Fitch's criteria for the 'BBB' category level. Fitch assessed payment disruption and co-mingling risk, finding the six-month reserve account sufficient to mitigate these risks. The swap counterparty and ISDA agreement were reviewed, and Fitch will evaluate if the downgrade of a swap counterparty below the transaction rating impacts the notes' rating. RATING SENSITIVITIES Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative Rating Action/Downgrade The transaction's credit strength depends on asset production levels and expense fluctuations, which can reduce the securitized net cash flow. Significant decreases in production compared to projections will negatively impact the rating. Increases in expenses or the removal of DEC's current subsidy for G&T may affect margins and the rating. While the transaction hedges the majority of natural gas price risk and natural gas basis price risk for portions of time during the life of the transaction, significant changes in basis or long-term commodity price reductions could have a negative impact. Revenue constraints given the current hedge book, combined with negative production or expense changes, may also affect the transaction's ability to absorb stress in a downside scenario. Additionally, the transaction cannot be de-linked from the hedge counterparties; thus, a downgrade of a hedge counterparty below the respective threshold of the note's rating will affect the transaction rating. Fitch ran multiple stress scenarios changing different variables, with a majority resulting in at least one category downgrade without amending the current hedge book. If the company can execute on its expected hedge strategy, these scenarios would result in a reaffirmation of the rating. Any changes in these variables will be analyzed in a rating committee to assess the possible impact on the transaction rating. Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive Rating Action/Upgrade The class A notes are capped in line with the criteria and further limited to the 'BBB' category, given partial exposure to commodity prices. The transaction will continue to be capped unless there are changes to the current criteria. |
Posted at 20/11/2024 09:08 by someuwin Tennyson...Diversified Energy (BUY) COAL MINE METHANE TRUMPS EARNINGS "Diversified Energy (DEC LN) reported Q3 numbers last week, which were in-line with expectations and showed continued progress on its core business objectives. Adjusting our FY24-25 estimates for the results & latest gas prices delivers some minor tweaks (see Figure 1, below), but the general earnings picture is much as before. Our investment thesis on the stock continues to be underpinned by DEC’s stable FCF base which fuels ~US$1bn of organic debt reduction over the next five years, after paying dividends. On top of this, we see scope to unlock hidden value across the portfolio through undeveloped land sales and other initiatives, such as environmental credits linked to coal mine methane (CMM). Additionally, heighted M&A across the US oil & gas patch should see a steady stream of PDP assets hit the market, as sellers look to shed non-core acreage and reset their finances, leaving no doubt over DEC’s growth runway. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and £20/shr target price..." |
Posted at 27/10/2024 16:25 by putinaire You always see these bullish arguments for reducing shorts. Even though they have been doing reductions from 0.76% on the way to todays rate. It is called adjustments.Unfortunately there is also another market required. Optimistic bulls. This occurs as often as not on short reductions. You must also note, DEC share price cant get anywhere with short buybacks/adjustments |
Posted at 16/10/2024 05:45 by leoneobull Thanks Asp1 on LSE. $500M (revenue net of costs) - $120M (interest) - $150M (debt reduction) - $55M (dividend) = $175MWhat is missing from above is the $170M to purchase new assets to cover the decline rate, meaning daily production stays flat (no reduction that you mention). Since IPO DEC has only issued equity or taken on additional debt for the purpose of acqisitions which for me is perfectly fine especially as they are all accretive (I used a 25%, 25%, 50% ration in my example of cash, equity, debt). Rrb believes this must be paid fully in cash, that is the fundamental difference.So if we continue the maths $175 - 25% (cash part of purchase) = $130M buffer (26% of the $500M net revenue - very healthy).Now in 10 years time once debt is repaid then $270M ($150M + $120M) would drop off completely. This creates the headroom to start meaningful ARO and surprise , surprise, DEC have current contracts with states for the next 10-15 years that commits them to very low volumes.So they are protected for the next 10-15 years. Not to avoid ARO, but to perform the ARO in an economically efficient way without recourse to the taxpayer. I believe many states fully understand this. However in my view the green lobby want all fossil fuels to be shut off immediately which makes no economic sense and they skew reporting in this way. I believe DEC invited bloomberg back to re do their piece after they put in place their detection sysetms etc but I have never seen a follow-up article.Finally I would just like to note that crescent point was happy to take DEC equity as part of the recent acuisition. Given they are experienced players in this industry why would they accept equity if there are doubts re DEC short term? It makes no sense.DEC can cover its dividend, debt, ARO obligations etc. and has a sustainable model in my view. I have not seen any logic to change my view as of now |
Posted at 14/10/2024 12:11 by putinaire Then you have to go deeper - 'The Game'Well thats a whole different thing and i can assure you lot, you were set up here when DEC share price went up a bit only as gas fell The shorters are going to have a big party |
Posted at 14/10/2024 12:10 by asp5 oh dear ...... value is derived from tangible assets, cashflows etc. not perception. The price is a reflection of net perceptions.From a value perspective DEC is fine and why analysts quote a higher target price to the current share price - otherwise they could be sued by investors if not based on solid assumptions & terms. It is also why DEC will not go bust etc. and banks are happily lending them money. You always want to buy shares with high value & low price if you are a value investor. |
Posted at 14/10/2024 11:46 by leoneobull Thanks AC1 on LSEI do not agree with the sentiment that DEC have been "found out" and that ARO's or debt is a problem. Let me try to explain why.The average life of DEC's wells is 50 years (as per latest ARO presentation). From mid year results we know daily production at end of June was 855 MMcfepd. Assuming ~70K wells it means the average well produces ~12 Mcf per day (855/70). At the current $3+ hedge price this translates to an average ~$13K revenue per well (12x3x360 days a year).The DEC business model is a density based business model. This means that a DEC well tender looks after several wells in a close geographic area to minimize travel time and maximize time spent attending to wells.From the annual results DEC has ~1600 employee with two thirds (~1100) out in the field. Meaning each well tender takes care of ~64 wells (70k/1100). This means a single DEC tender on average manages ~$830K revenue (13Kx64 wells).Lets look at the big cost elements. The vast majority of debt is amortizing over the next 10 years, meaning $150M pa of capital needs to be repaid (~$1,5B/10 years) plus $120M in interest (~$1,5B @8% average interest), for a total of $270M per annum. Which equates to $3850 per well (270M/70k) or ~250K per well tender ($3850x64)Lets assume an average salary for a well tender of $75K pa , then for the next 10 years net revenue after debt & salary per tender is ~500K ($830-$75-$250).Assu |
