» Near-term market refunding risk has eased since last year, with market liquidity improving and
the economy starting to recover. Longer-term refunding risk remains a concern amid a tentative
economic recovery, continued high unemployment, and interest rates that are likely to increase.
» Company-specific refunding risk remains generally low due to the strong credit profile of
investment-grade companies, though ratings have trended downwards during 2008-2009.
» As we saw in last year’s report, most maturing investment-grade bonds are highly rated, with more
than half of all bonds maturing in 2010-2014 rated single-A or higher. But a continued
downward rating trend would increase refinancing risk.
» Spreads have contracted from their highs following Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy in September
2008, indicating a thawing of the credit markets and increased risk tolerance.
» About 76% of investment-grade issuers with bonds maturing over the next five years have stable
outlooks, while 16% have negative outlooks, 5% have positive outlooks and 3% are under review.
As part of our efforts to promote transparency about our rating practices and key determinants of
corporate finance analysis, this report also includes a list of our default research, our rating
methodologies, and other special comments relevant to the topic of refinancing needs and risks.
As always, we encourage clients to contact lead analysts directly with any specific refunding
concerns, or about any of Moody’s Corporate Finance analytic tools, debt ratings, or
publications.
Much of this debt will be maturing over the next five years – about $550 billion in investment-grade
corporate bonds are set to mature in 2010-2014. Our study of 372 U.S. investment-grade non-
financial corporate bond issuers determined that $76 billion of their investment-grade bonds will

mature in 2010, $112 billion in 2011, $122 billion in 2012, $129 billion in 2013, and $109 billion in
2014.
The current level of 2010 maturities has changed little from the $83 billion listed in last year’s report.
But more than $400 billion of rated investment-grade bonds were issued in 2009 ($354 billion
excluding infrastructure finance). While investment-grade issuers have used most of the proceeds from
debt issuances to repay long and short term debt (62%), they have put their borrowing to other uses as
well, including M&A transactions (19%), keeping cash on the balance sheet to bolster liquidity and
for general corporate purposes (16%), and funding dividends and share repurchases (3%).
Over the next four years, refinancing needs are set to increase by 70%, from $76 billion in 2010 to
$129 billion in 2013. Since refunding risk may potentially increase in the longer term—due to
uncertainty about the sustainability of burgeoning economic recovery, high unemployment, and likely
higher interest rates—the rise in refinancing needs could be cause for some concern.

Despite the lingering effects of the U.S. recession, most investment-grade bond ratings are still
relatively strong: more than half of the bonds maturing over the next five years are rated single-A or
higher. But if ratings continue to migrate downwards, the market faces a degree of refinancing risk,
with almost $180 billion of the $550 billion maturing over the next five years carrying low
investment-grade ratings of Baa2 ($92 billion) or Baa3 ($86 billion). Even so, two-thirds of Baa3-rated
bonds mature in 2012 or later, which provides some near-term relief.
For bonds rated in the Baa category—comprising almost half of all investment grade maturities in
2010-2014—distribution is fairly evenly split among Baa1, Baa2 and Baa3 ratings. Among the single-
A rated bonds, A2 bonds comprise about 58% of the total $245 billion, with A1 bonds 23% and A3
bonds 19%. In the Aa category, Aa2 rated bonds account for roughly 58% of the $40 billion total,
with Aa3 at 33% and Aa1 at 9%. Maturities for Aaa-rated bonds are not significant over the next five
years.
A large percentage of the $76 billion in investment-grade bonds maturing in 2010 are highly rated:
about one-third are rated A2, and less than 20% are rated Baa3—the lowest category still considered
investment-grade. Still, this is a greater amount than last year, when our study showed Baa3-rated
bonds accounting for 10% of 2009 maturities and 16% of 2010 maturities. The increase in Baa3
bonds as a percentage of total maturities illustrates the downward rating migration trend over the past
two years.

This $86 billion includes $14 billion maturing in 2010, $15 billion in 2011, $21 billion in 2012, $18 billion in 2013, and $18 billion in 2014.

The average of Aaa spreads during January 1991-November 2009 was about 81 bps, with the November
2009 median spread reaching 44 bps. At the other end of the investment-grade spectrum, the 308-bp
spread for Baa3 bonds at November 2009 remains well above the historical average of 203 bps.

During the second half of 2008, the spread between the three-month Libor rate and three-month T-
bill (the TED spread) widened significantly, revealing the market’s concern about elevated
counterparty risk. The spread peaked at 458 bps in October 2008, shortly after Lehman Brothers filed
for bankruptcy. At that time, credit markets ceased to operate in a rational manner and lending was
drastically curtailed. By May 2009, however, the TED spread had dramatically declined, falling into
line with more normalized levels, signaling the market’s improved credit-risk profile.

GLOBAL CORPORATE FINANCE
On the whole, investment-grade issuers have maintained good liquidity throughout the credit crisis
and recession. In 2008, companies strived to preserve liquidity by cutting capital expenditures,
reducing dividends, and reducing or halting share repurchases. But as we noted in our recent
investment-grade liquidity study, 2 investment-grade issuers’ liquidity profiles could come under
pressure from a continued contraction in bank lending, which would make the refinancing of bank
credit facilities more difficult. Tighter bank lending could constrain a company’s growth prospects as
the economy begins to recover.
Although the U.S. economy is beginning to recover, we believe that the fragility of the economic
recovery could lead to the need to renegotiate covenants for a few investment grade issuers. Our recent
liquidity study 3 found that 9% of investment-grade issuers show either tight or restrictive covenants
(2% tight, 7% restrictive), defined as having less than 20% headroom under required covenant levels.
But unlike the trend we saw for speculative-grade issuers in early 2009, most investment-grade
companies were able to amend their credit facilities. We think this trend will continue.

Conclusion
Issuers of investment-grade bonds that mature in 2010-2014 appear poised today to meet their
obligations with little sign of peril. Besides the obvious advantage of being highly rated and posing
lower risks for investors, investment-grade bond maturities appear to be entering a more benign
economic period as well. The U.S. economy is beginning to recover from its worst recession in over 70
years, and credit markets in general are relatively open to highly rated debt. But without a clear sign
that the economy will stay healthy, unemployment will fall, or interest rates remain moderate, we see
some refunding risk over the course of our five-year study period.
While rating actions and outlooks for investment-grade bonds have had a positive bias over the last six
months, there would be increasing refunding risk if negative rating actions were to accelerate again.
Nearly one-third of the $550 billion in investment-grade bonds set to mature over the next five years
hold ratings of Baa2 and Baa3, the low end of investment grade rating scale. So if economic conditions
falter, we could see rating pressure return over the next five years.
