Overview (1)
  • Project finance
  • Creation of a legally independent project company
    financed with equity from one or more sponsoring
    firms and non-recourse debt for the purpose of
    investing in a capital asset
  • Unique structural features
  • Very concentrated equity ownership (2-3 sponsors)
  • High leverage by design (average book value
    debt-to-total capitalization ratio is 70
    double the leverage ratio of a publicly traded
    company) forced distribution of cash flow
  • Founded on a series of legal contracts (typically
    40 or more, uniting 15 parties in a vertical
    chain)
  • Process of designing and negotiating
    infrastructure projects
  • Counter-intuitive prima facie (greater
    transaction costs)
  • Higher leverage gt higher probability of default
    life range 10-50 years
  • But the extensive use of contracts restricts
    managerial discretion

Overview (2)
  • By creating a project company, sponsors can
    transfer risk to debtholders and related parties
    who can bear the risks at lower costs and/or
    manage specific activities more effectively than
    they can themselves
  • Non-recourse debt debt repayment comes from the
    project only
  • Structure matters (Modigliani Miller)
  • Market imperfections (agency costs, financial
    distress, structuring executing transactions,
    asymmetric information, taxes)
  • Primary focus on
  • Structuring projects
  • Financing issues
  • Managing risky projects
  • Valuation issues
  • Pricing issues
  • Market structure and regulatory issues

5
Overview (3)
  • Investment decision
  • Organizational decision
  • Off-balance sheet finance (not the case when only
    one sponsor)
  • Financing decision
  • Use of non-recourse debt
  • Creditors have a clear claim on the project assets

6
Characteristics
  • Debt financing of a project which is primarily
    repaid from cash flow generated by the project
  • Recourse for repayment of loans and security is
    limited to the project cashflows and assets
    financed, often referred to as limited or non
    recourse lending
  • Lenders share project risks with the sponsors
    debt is often the larger part of the funding mix
  • Lenders down-side risks are considerable - the
    loan may not be repaid
  • Lenders up-side benefits are limited - the
    interest margin
  • Detailed due diligence required

7
General Structure
  • Special purpose entities (SPEs) are vital to
    infrastructure project finance (the whole
    business financed this way is organized as an
    SPE). They are intended to restrict the lines of
    business and to protect against bankruptcy.

What is Project Finance
12
Why Project Finance
  • Maximize Debt Capacity
  • Risk Sharing/Allocation
  • Longer Tenor than Traditional/Full Recourse
    Financing
  • Flexibility with respect to Repayment Profile
  • Possibility to Achieve Off-Balance Sheet Treatment

Risk Assessment and Allocation
  • Cash Flow
  • Completion
  • Reserves
  • Market/Price
  • Performance
  • Sponsor
  • Financial
  • Regulatory / Environmental
  • Insurance
  • Political

15
Cash Flow Over Project Life
Risks
Cash Flow
Operating Costs
Capital Expenditures
16
Completion
  • Pre-Completion
  • Delays, Cost Overruns
  • Completion Tests
  • Physical
  • Financial

17
Reserves
  • Proven / P90 Reserves
  • Production Profile
  • Depletion
  • Adequate Tail-End
  • Crude / Product Quality
  • Use of Proven Technology
  • Reservoir Engineering Reports

18
Market/Price
  • Oil - Access to Market
  • Gas - Credit Worthy Offtakers
  • Price - Contracted/Spot

19
Cash Flow vs. Reservoir and Price Risks
20
Performance
  • Operation and Maintenance
  • Track Record, Cost Effectiveness, Resources of
    Operator
  • External factors for Costs

21
Sponsor
  • Technical Ability and Track Record
  • Financial and Management Resources
  • Role - Sponsor / Operator

22
Financial Risk
  • Interest Rate Increases
  • Exchange Rate Fluctuation
  • Inflation
  • Tax, Royalties

23
Regulatory / Environmental Risk
  • Development Approvals, Consents Licences
  • Adherence to Development Plan
  • Compliance with Current Future Environmental
    Legislation

24
Insurance
  • Independent Assessment
  • Legal
  • Environmental
  • Business Interruption

25
Political
  • Expropriation, Civil Unrest
  • Transfer Convertibility of Funds
  • Lenders Country Limits
  • ECAs, IFIs Risk Insurance
  • Contract Frustration

26
Evaluation of Project Economics
  • Preparation of Project Financial Model
  • Derive Lenders Base Case
  • Determine Debt Amount and Repayment Profile under
    Base Case
  • Evaluate Debt Service Capacity Sensitivity to Key
    Variables
  • Debt Service Capacity Measures - Loan Life Cover
    Ratio and Project Life Cover Ratio
  • Derive Financial Covenant Structure for
    Documentation
