Rating Action:

Moody's upgrades ENN to Baa2; outlook stable

 The document has been translated in other languages

20 Jun 2017

Hong Kong, June 20, 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service has today upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 the issuer rating and senior unsecured debt rating of ENN Energy Holdings Limited.

The outlook for the ratings has changed to stable from positive.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"The ratings upgrade reflects the continued strengthening in ENN's credit profile, supported by ongoing stability in its business model and strong financial metrics that exceed our expectation for the previous rating," says Ivy Poon, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst.

"We expect the company's financial profile will be consistent with the Baa2 rating level in the next three years, due to healthy operating cash flow and moderate capital spending plan," adds Poon.

"However, China's evolving regulatory regime and ENN's increasing exposure in energy trading will remain as the key challenges for the company's rating," says Poon.

ENN's Baa2 rating is underpinned by the ongoing stability in its business profile with an established market position and geographically diversified operations. The company, one of the largest city gas distributors in China (A1 stable), maintained a robust performance over the past two years despite moderating gas demand.

Moody's expects ENN will continue to focus on organic growth in the medium term. The risk of merger and acquisition activity has declined considerably from two years ago, which had constrained ENN's credit profile in the past.

Moody's expects the company's financial profile will remain strong and consistent with its Baa2 rating over the next three years, with funds from operations (FFO)/debt at 27%-30%, retained cash flow (RCF)/debt at 19%-22%, and debt/ EBITDA at around 2.7x. Annual capital expenditure will be moderate at RMB4.0 billion-RMB5.0 billion.

The sound prospects for city gas distributors will further fuel the company's business growth in the medium to long term.

The Chinese government reiterated its commitment to promoting natural gas in its 13th Five Year Plan for natural gas development (2016-2020) and in Dec 2016 published a consultation paper to promote the usage of natural gas. The country aims to increase natural gas consumption to 8%-10% of its primary energy mix by 2020 and 15% by 2030, up from 5.9% in 2015.

Despite these favorable industry prospects, the evolving regulatory regime and ongoing reforms in China's oil and gas sector continue to constrain ENN's issuer rating.

In particular, the ongoing sector reforms could create near-term volatility in ENN's financial performance.

ENN's Baa2 rating has incorporated the risk of a potential decline in investment returns in its city gas projects. Moody's expects ENN would have a moderate financial headroom against this potential volatility.

However, Moody's will reassess the rating impact if the regulatory decision on the investment return is more serious to the extent that negatively affects ENN's financial profile beyond Moody's expectation.

ENN has rapidly expanded its energy trading business -- mainly LNG wholesales -- in 2016. This unregulated business entails higher business risk than the company's city gas projects. Nevertheless, Moody's expects ENN will manage its business model, especially for the LNG import in 2019, such that it could minimize the relevant price risk and inventory risk.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company's credit profile and the regulatory environment will remain stable over the next 12-18 months.

Upward ratings pressure could emerge in case of (1) favorable regulatory changes that significantly improve the company's ability to pass through costs; (2) a material improvement in ENN's business model and financial profile.

Financial metrics that could trigger an upgrade include RCF/debt above 28%-30% and debt/EBITDA below 2.2x, on a sustained basis.

ENN's ratings could come under pressure in case of (1) unfavorable regulatory changes that significantly impact the company's credit profile; (2) a significant weakening of its credit metrics due to aggressive debt-funded capital expenditure or acquisitions; (3) a material increase in the risk exposure of its energy trading business.

Financial metrics that could trigger a downgrade include RCF/debt below 12%-15% and debt/EBITDA above 4.0x for a prolonged period.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Regulated Electric and Gas Utilities published in December 2013. Please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

ENN Energy Holdings Limited is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company constructs and operates facilities for city gas distribution in a number of cities in China. In 2016, the company reported total revenues of RMB34 billion.
