Current Debt Structure Under Review: Upside to EPS Growth
 Leverage Background. In December 2010, Cetip acquired GRV for R$2.0 billion, 929.4 0.6x
paid as follows: R$1.0 billion cash, R$445 million in Cetip share swap, R$555 614.5 0.2x
million seller’s note (at inflation +2% paid in three installments over three years). 356.9
In order to raise enough cash, Cetip issued a R$900 mn debenture (at interbank 150.2
rate, DI + 2%, with a duration of seven years).
2011 2012 2013E 2014E
 Debenture. In our opinion, rates of DI + 2% for an asset-light company like Cetip
seems expensive, and we see opportunities to optimize its debt structure, Net Debt Net Debt/EBITDA
ultimately supporting EPS growth. The company has already pre-paid R$200 mn
and amortized R$50.4 mn, leaving an outstanding balance of R$649.6 mn.
 Deleveraging Benefits. We argue that deleveraging benefits are two-fold: First, Current Debenture Structure: Expensive for an Asset-Light
deleveraging helps EPS growth. The company has pre-paid R$200 mn of the Company
debentures, completed the seller’s note payments (last payment made in May
2013), and might restructure the remaining debt with better rates. Second, with Debentures:
Nominal Value = R$ 900 mm
net debt declining substantially, dividend payments should rise with payout (-) Pre-payment = R$ 200 mm
- DI + 2%
(-) Amortization = R$ 50.4 mm
ratios increasing – current 50% moving to 70-80% or even 100%, as the company - 7 years
Balance as of 3Q13 = R$ 649.6 mm
does not need much capital to grow.
