Mumbai International Airport (346505Z IN)

Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) is roadshowing USD 7.25 year 144A/RegS notes. The notes have an expected rating of BB+ from Fitch. The company expects to price them as early as this week. Proceeds from the offering will be used to repay MIAL's bridge loan facility and for capex. We view MIAL as “Medium Risk” on our LARA scale. We like the near-monopoly status of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (operated and managed by MIAL), the recurring and stable revenue and cash flows of the airport business, and the project finance structure of the proposed notes. These should mitigate the inherent high leverage of the credit (even after passenger traffic recovers fully). The key risks are the: [1] speed of recovery in passenger traffic; and [2] contingent liability in the form of an annual fee to Airports Authority of India (pending the court’s final judgment). Our Credit Bias is “Stable”, given that the steady recovery in passenger traffic should help offset the temporarily stressed credit profile. Assuming the deal goes through despite the poor market situation, we view a yield of 7% as fair value on the proposed Notes
