 Glossary: Financial Terms
Other Glossary Sections:  [Industry Sectors] [About DealScope] [Topics]

Stressed debt:
These are subjective judgements but here we identify companies showing early signs of financial trouble as indicated by their bond and/or CDS prices. However, many of these companies can likely recover via capital markets activity, disposing businesses, a turnaround in trading performance or combination of these.

Distressed debt:
Companies at the next stage of trouble where a financial restructuring may be necessary.

Expected deals:
Companies that have defaulted or have publicly announced that they will restructure but restructuring terms are still under discussion.

Live deals:
Workouts where the parties have reached a preliminary agreement on terms and are going through the legal procedures of getting those terms fully agreed by all parties and the necessary approvals in place.

Post restructuring:
Any company that has been restructured during the last two years. We track these situations looking for capital markets and M&A activity.

High Yield Pipeline:
Detailed list of all companies expected to launch a high yield issue in the next six months giving details of offering size, key terms and bookrunners.

Debt Maturity:
Taken from our balance sheet analysis, a list of all significant (>$100m) debt maturities during the next 18 months from the universe of stressed through post restructuring companies (does not include all High Yield)
