Stressed US companies restructured more debt in April

Debt restructuring among financially stressed U.S. companies saw a significant increase of nearly 60% in April, according to data from JPMorgan. The surge in debt restructuring can be attributed to mounting pressure from escalating tariffs, inflation, and volatility in capital markets.

Distressed exchanges or liability management exercises are common practices undertaken by distressed companies to renegotiate or restructure their debt instead of resorting to bankruptcy. In April alone, there were $3.5 billion worth of distressed exchanges, up from $2.2 billion in March and $1.6 billion in February. The total for the first quarter of the year amounted to $8.4 billion.

Furthermore, the volume of bonds trading with yields exceeding 1,000 basis points over U.S. Treasuries rose by $18.4 billion in April compared to the previous month, reaching a 10-month high of $94.6 billion. This represented 7.2% of junk bonds, an increase from 6.6% a year earlier.

The data underscores the deteriorating fundamentals that have pushed companies to explore alternatives to bankruptcy. Winnie Cisar, global head of strategy at CreditSights, highlighted that the optimism surrounding the turnaround of a company’s operations or the resolution of uncertain events could be misguided in many cases.

Ian Feng, a senior covenant analyst at research firm Covenant Review, anticipated a continued brisk pace of distressed exchanges, particularly amidst macro-economic factors such as trade wars and regional instabilities creating chaos in economic markets.

Edward Best, co-head of the capital markets group at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, noted that distressed exchanges typically offer companies one to two years to address their underlying issues.

The rise in debt restructuring activities reflects the challenging economic landscape faced by companies, prompting them to proactively address their financial woes. As the market continues to navigate through uncertainties, the prevalence of distressed exchanges is expected to persist, providing companies with a lifeline to stabilize their operations.
