Sponsors have their sights set on chasing M&A business as hard as they can in the New Year to build on the €42.6 billion of LBO financing raised between January and November this year, plus a further €24.7 billion from the high-yield market. However, some attention will have to be diverted to sorting out those credits where performance is not as strong as projected, despite signs of stabilisation in the European economy and surprisingly strong growth in the U.K.

Recent weeks have brought a handful of amendment requests, includ-ing maturity extensions and covenant resets. Charterhouse-owned Vivarte is looking for a covenant standstill, and Birds Eye Iglo’s backer Permira is seeking a full reset.

Vivarte has for a long time been closely watched for signs of stress since it is carrying a heavy debt burden, although it has plenty of cash on balance sheet, and now needs the standstill to cover a breached test in

May this year, and anticipated breaches going through to May next year. The company’s troubles are blamed on the weak French economy and unseasonal weather, and now with new management in place lenders are asked to wait and see how the business fares.

Birds Eye has not breached tests but is also up against weak trading conditions in parts of its business – particularly Italy, sources said – and wants a reset to loosen headroom. Roughly a year ago the company paid a dividend and extended maturities on some of its term loans, via a €277 million add-on.

The default rate of the S&P European Leveraged Loan Index (ELLI) was 3.1% at the end of the third quarter, based on the volume of defaults in the lagging 12-month period, and remained unchanged at the end of November.

This rate has been falling gradually over the last two years – it was 6.6% at year-end 2012 – and many investors do not anticipate a marked rise in the next year, based on what they see in their portfolios at present. “The economy is getting better. Subject to no more shocks I see the rate staying low all year,” says a fund manager.

But some of the situations that have emerged in the fourth quarter – such as Vivarte and Birds Eye – indicate companies are still feeling the effects of pockets of poor performance around Europe, and that this may create a drag on a company that is otherwise performing well.

Even as weaker European countries start to recover, some stress further out is possible, says a fund manager, especially for companies too burdened with debt to take advantage of an improvement in the European economy, and that will struggle when interest rates start to rise.

“I’d be in the camp of expecting defaults to go up over the next 12-24 months – if they don’t it will be because of central bank policy, which is increasingly difficult to predict. [When interest rates rise] it will flush out leveraged issuers with unsustainable business models,” says an investor.

Senior leverage is little changed, at 4.14x versus 4.15x. End-November spreads are also down, at E+453.1 for TLB paper, ver-sus E+461.7 in the third quarter.
