DePfa: AT1 Up 11pts On Coupon Commitment

FINANCIALS

DePfa (PBB GY) seeing (unsurprisingly) large tightening across its curve this morning, including the AT1 referenced in the earnings (PBBGR 8.474 PERP). Indications are for further underlying operating weakness in FY24 but less than the deterioration seen in FY23.


  • The equity is marginally better this morning but the AT1 is streaming up over 11points (but still at c.34) with the company being clear in its statements that it is “currently comfortably meets the conditions to pay the AT1-coupon in April”. This is clearly not categoric as things may change between now and then but it’s likely this will be paid.
  • Conf call is indicating further stress in US office space and, less so, European office space. We note that CLS Holdings (CLI LN) published FY23 results yesterday (6-Mar) and this is a specialist European office REIT and its equity was up on the day as indications from its mgmt team were that we are nearing the bottom of this cycle.
