1 Financial Structure and International Debt Market 1. Optimal Financial i lstructure 2. Financial Structure of Foreign Subsidiaries 3. Debt Management and Funding Goal 4. International Debt Markets 5. Rating of Eurobonds 1 1. Optimal Financial Structure When taxes and bankruptcy costs are considered, a firm has an optimal financial structure determined by that particular mix of debt and equity that minimizes the firm s cost of capital for a given level of business risk. As the business risk of new projects differs from the risk of existing projects, the optimal mix of debt and equity would change to recognize tradeoffs between business and financial risks. 2 1
2 The following exhibit illustrates how the cost of capital varies with the amount of debt employed. As the debt ratio increases, the overall cost of capital (k WACC ) decreases because of the heavier weight of low- cost (due to tax-deductability) deductability)debt([k debt d (1-t)] compared to high cost equity (k e ). 3 Cost of Capital (%) Exhibit 1 The Cost of Capital and Financial Structure k e = cost of equity Minimum cost of capital range k WACC = weighted average after-tax cost of capital k d (1-tax) = after-tax cost of debt Total Debt (D) Debt Ratio (%) = Total Assets (V) 4 2
3 2. Financial Structure of Foreign Subsidiaries In addition to choosing an appropriate financial structure, financial i managers of MNEs must choose among alternative sources of funds to finance the foreign subsidiary. These funds can be either internal or external to the MNE. Ideally the choice should minimize worldwide taxes and political risk. Simultaneously, the firm should ensure that managerial motivation in the foreign subsidiaries is geared toward minimizing the firm s worldwide cost of capital 5 Exhibit 2 Internal Financing of the Foreign Subsidiary Funds From Within the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) Funds from parent company Funds from sister subsidiaries Cash Equity Real goods Debt -- cash loans Leads & lags on intra-firm payables Debt -- cash loans Leads & lags on intra-firm payables Subsidiary borrowing with parent guarantee Funds Generated Internally by the Foreign Subsidiary Depreciation & non-cash charges Retained earnings 6 3
4 Exhibit 3 External Financing of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowing from sources in parent country Banks & other financial institutions Security or money markets Funds External to the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) Borrowing from sources outside of parent country Local currency debt Third-country currency debt Eurocurrency debt Local equity Individual local shareholders Joint venture partners 7 3. Debt Management and Funding Goal Assuming the MNEs has determined its desired capital structure A. Maturity Matching Finance short-term assets with short-term liabilities or vice versa Prevent the firm from being exposed to significant interest rate and funding risk B. Currency Matching Emphasis on managing the transaction and operating exposures 8 4
5 C. The Cost of Foreign Debt k dh = [(1+ k df ) X (1+s)] - 1 k h= d Pretax cost of debt in local currency k df = Cost of debt in foreign currency s = The percentage change in exchange rate 9 4. International Debt Markets The international debt market offers the borrower a wide variety of different maturities, repayment structures, pricing structure, currencies of denomination, and subordination or linkage to other debt and equity instruments. The three major sources of debt funding on the international markets are depicted in the following exhibit. 10 5

7 A. Bank loans and syndications: - International bank loans have traditionally been sourced in the Eurocurrency markets, there is a narrow interest rate spread between deposit and loan rates of less than 1%. - Eurocredits are bank loans to MNEs, sovereign governments, international institutions, and banks denominated in Eurocurrencies and extended by banks in countries other than the country in whose currency the loan is denominated. d -The syndication of loans has enabled banks to spread the risk of very large loans among a number of banks (this is significant for MNEs as they usually need credit in an amount larger than a single bank s loan limit). 13 The Eurocurrency Markets Eurocurrencies are domestic currencies of one country on deposit in another country. Any convertible currency can exist in Euro form (not the European currency called the euro). These markets serve two valuable purposes: - Eurocurrency deposits are an efficient and convenient money market device for holding excess corporate liquidity - The Eurocurrency market is a major source of short-term bank loans to finance corporate working capital needs (including imports and exports) 14 7
8 Exhibit 5 Comparative Spreads Between Lending and Deposit Rates in the Eurodollar Market Interest Rate Domestic Loan Rate Domestic Spread of 4.000% % % Eurodollar Loan Rate Eurodollar Spread of 0.500% % Eurodollar Deposit Rate Domestic % Deposit Rate 15 B. The Euronote market: - Euronotes and Euronote facilities are short to medium in term and are either underwritten and non-underwritten - Euro-commercial paper is a short-term debt obligation of a corporation or bank (usually denominated in US dollars) - Euro medium-term notes is a new entrant to the world s debt markets, which bridges the gap between Euro-commercial paper and a longer-term and less flexible international bond 16 8
9 C. The International Bond Market: -A Eurobond is underwritten by an international syndicate of banks and other securities firms and is sold exclusively in countries other than the country in whose currency the issue is denominated e.g. Eurodollar bond, Euroyen bond. -A Foreign bond is underwritten by a syndicate composed of members from a single country, sold principally i within that tcountry, and denominated din the currency of that country e.g. Yankee bond, Samurai bond, and Bull dog bond. -A Global bond is usually in denominated USD and registered in U.S.A. but sold worldwide 17 D.

12 F. Unique Characteristics of Eurobond Absence of regulatory interference National governments often impose tight controls on foreign bonds. However, Eurobonds fall outside the regulatory domain of any single nation. Less stringent disclosure Non-US. firms prefer to issue Eurodollar bonds over Yankee bonds. Favorable tax status Interest paid on Eurobonds is generally free from income tax withholding Rating of Eurobonds Rating Agencies: Moody s, Standard & Poors Agency rates international bonds on request of the issuer. However, the issuer may decide not to have rating published. A. Review of political risk Government system Social environment External relations 24 12

For Moody, Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1,2 and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating categories; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Dotted lines indicate combinations that are highly unusual. * Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well
