Asia HY Monthly - August 2022 - Lucror Analytics

CIFI Holdings' H1/22 results were slightly below our expectations. The company reported a moderate increase in net debt, which appears to contradict its deleveraging plans. Moreover, we believe CIFI's liquidity is tight, as only one-third of its cash on hand is freely available. We note the company has to bear the burden of ensuring property deliveries at its JV projects (particularly if the JV partner is under distress). This may add to CIFI's cash outflows as it acquire stakes from JV partners. The tight liquidity is also evidenced by the company's failure to call the perpetual securities in August 2022, as well as the new share placement at a 12% discount. Positively, CIFI enjoys relatively good access to financing (compared to other private developers), which greatly enhances its near-term debt repayment prospects. In this regard, the company expects to complete the issuance of CNY 1.5 bn in onshore state-guaranteed bonds around mid-September 2022. We expect CIFI to repay its sole maturing bond in the next 12 months (the USD 300 mn CIGIHF 5.5 23 coming due in January 2023).
