BNB babcock & brown limited

impact of interest rate cut on bnb

  1. 51 Posts.
    since BNB stated an increase of 50BPS (basis points) would cost it an increase in interest of $15million, I am guessing that a reduction of 1% should atleast save them the $15million. I am guessing if RBA and the world governments cut interest rates, cost of capital will eventually be reduced to reasonable levels.

    see below extract of the announcement made on 17/09/2008

    17 September 2008
    B&B INTERNATIONAL RATING LOWERED TO ‘BB’ ON FINANCIAL
    MARKET DISRUPTION; OUTLOOK NEGATIVE
    Please see attached Press Release by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.
    The lowering of the S&P rating in relation to Babcock & Brown International Pty
    Ltd (“BBIPL”) announced in the attached release will have the effect of
    increasing the interest rate payable under BBIPL’s corporate facilities by 50
    BPS. If Babcock & Brown’s corporate facilities were fully drawn down, this
    increase would result in a maximum additional interest expense of
    approximately A$15 million over a 12 month period. On 21 August 2008
    Babcock & Brown foreshadowed a significant cost reduction program which will
    more than offset this increased cost.
