Asia HY Monthly - Chinese Property Update (2021) - Lucror Analytics

We view Olam as "High Risk" on the LARA scale. This takes into account the risks associated with the: [1] low margins that characterise the commodities supply-chain industry; [2] high working-capital needs for its trading operations; [3] weak leverage; and [4] dependence on banks to extend credit for refinancing. These are balanced by the company's long operating history and diversified business profile in the agricultural commodity industry. Although Olam has strong shareholders (e.g. Temasek Holdings and Mitsubishi Corporation), support is not guaranteed. In our view, the absence of a Change of Control clause under the indenture poses a material risk for bondholders. Our fundamental Credit Bias is "Stable". Olam has emerged relatively unscathed from the COVID-19 crisis, and earnings improved in FY 2020. Negatively, the volatile and erratic working capital movements result in unpredictable FCF generation, which weighs on the credit profile.
