Abertis Reportedly Adds Another Investment Banking Adviser to Its Line-Up in Its Quest to Buy A Major Stake in Melbourne Toll Road Eastlink Abertis Infraestructuras, S.A. has added another investment banking adviser to its line-up in its quest to buy a major stake in Melbourne toll road EastLink. The Spanish toll road operator is now working with JPMorgan, as well as investment bank Citi. The news, revealed by DataRoom online, comes as the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission on 21 September 2023 blocked an attempt by Transurban Group (ASX:TCL) to buy the asset. However, Transurban - the owner of most of the country's toll roads - is likely to appeal the decision in court. Transurban had Azure Capital, Barrenjoey, Macquarie Capital and Morgan Stanley as its advisers and was expectedto embark on a large equity raising to fund the acquisition. Yet the latest decision may open up the competition with other suitors who held back, given Transurban was seen to be well-placed to win. Queensland Investment Corporation was earlier known to be considering a purchase, while IFM may also enter the contest. Announcement • Sep 21

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 144% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.8x net interest cover). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 27x earnings per share. Cash payout ratio: 445% Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results.
