ANTIGUA & BARBUDA: Biggest Ever Deficit for 2015, PM Says
---------------------------------------------------------
The Daily Observer reports that Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister
Gaston Browne said the government's spending will be 450 million
dollars above revenues this year. Mr. Browne said it is the
largest funding deficit in the history of the country, according
to The Daily Observer.
The report notes that Mr. Browne says the problem was inherited
from the former UPP-administration.
"To fix ABIB alone we're looking at EC$350 million. No provision
was made for that in the budget, but for those issues that we've
decided to tackle, the debts that we intend to pay. We're looking
at a deficit of EC$450 million. It is really a function of, let's
say, expenditure literally growing out of control and secondly, a
situation in which we are literally over borrowed. We have a very
high debt GDP so that the country is not generating sufficient
resources to fund it's obligations," the report quoted Mr. Browne
as saying.
Mr. Browne said his ABLP-government intends to reduce wasteful
spending, though he admitted that the former administration in its
last term did cut a lot of the waste. The prime minister says the
government will have to borrow from the regional securities market
and receive grants to fill the EC$450 million gap, the report
notes.
"And the other grants that we are pursuing we should get a 13.5
million dollar grant from the government of Mexico that is part of
our housing program and other smaller grants. Plus we intend to
increase the CIP considerably," Mr. Browne added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 23, 2014, The Daily Observer said that Antigua & Barbuda
could soon find itself in the company of Japan, Zimbabwe, and
Greece, the countries with the highest national debts.
In the January 2014 budget presentation, the former administration
indicated that the nation's debt was 87 per cent of GDP, according
to The Daily Observer. However, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has
disputed the figure, deeming it to be as high as 130 per cent, the
report noted.
Minister Browne said while his government's increased borrowing is
pushing up the nation's debt-to-GDP ratio, it is necessary to
solve the country's problems, the report related

CENTRAIS ELETRICAS: Fitch Raises IDR to 'BB-'; Outlook Now Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Centrais Eletricas do Para S.A.'s
(Celpa) foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs)
to 'BB-' from 'B-' and long-term National Scale Rating to 'A(bra)'
from 'BB+(bra)'. The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from
Positive. Subsequently, Fitch has withdrawn the company's IDRs
for business reasons.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Celpa's ratings upgrade reflects Fitch's view of a stronger
support from the parent Equatorial Energia S.A. (Equatorial) to
the company, underpinned by capital injections, capitalization of
debts and loans guarantee. Fitch expects Equatorial's support to
Celpa through loans guarantees to increase in the coming years, as
new debt should be raised with this structure. Celpa's ratings
also incorporates the achievement of more conservative credit
metrics due to improvements in the company's operational cash
flow, supported by strong growth of energy volumes invoiced and
positive results in cost control measures, in addition to energy
losses reduction.
Celpa's ratings consider that its still high financial leverage
and reduced operating cash generation are somewhat mitigated by
the extended debt maturity schedule and low financial cost. The
company also benefits from its business profile, in view of its
exclusivity rights to distribute electricity within its concession
area in the Para State.
Regulatory risk for the Brazilian electricity sector is moderate,
and hydrological risk is currently above average. This puts
additional pressure on Celpa's cash flow due to increased costs
related to high energy prices in the spot market and heavy
dispatches of thermal plants. Positively, those non-manageable
costs are being partially mitigated by a sectorial fund, and the
remaining portion should be recovered later through tariff
increase. In this scenario, Fitch views the adoption of the
'tariff flag' and the reduction on the energy price in the spot
market as positive for the distributors' liquidity.
Positive Shareholder Support
Equatorial has already injected BRL701 million in cash into Celpa
as equity contribution since November 2012, which has benefited
its liquidity position. In addition, the shareholder has
capitalized BRL433 million of an intercompany loan and is
guaranteeing the BRL875 million bank loan raised by Celpa at the
end of September 2014. Celpa reported intercompany loans of
BRL549 million with Equatorial at the end of September 2014, which
is not expected to be paid in the short term. At the end of the
third quarter of 2014, Equatorial reported robust liquidity
position, with BRL281 million in cash and marketable securities
position and no debt on an individual basis.
Celpa's Leverage Should Decline
The analysis also incorporates Fitch's expectation that the
company's adjusted net leverage should decrease to more
conservative levels in the next few years. In the last 12 months
ended on Sept. 30, 2014, total debt-to-EBITDA and net debt-to-
EBITDA ratios of 13.3x and 11.9x, respectively, improved in
relation to the 31.5x and 28.8x achieved in 2013. On a pro forma
basis, combining Celpa and Equatorial holding, total debt-to-
EBITDA and net debt-to-EBITDA were 8.6x and 6.5x, respectively.
The agency forecasted a combined net leverage of 5.5x in 2014,
based on current accounting rules, declining to 4.0x - 5.0x at the
following three years.
Cash Generation Should Significantly Improve
Fitch expects Celpa to generate a more robust operational cash
generation in the coming years. Equatorial, the new shareholder
that acquired Celpa on November 2012, has a robust track record in
improving operational and financial performance. Fitch expects
Equatorial to achieve at Celpa the same strong results obtained at
Companhia Energetica do Maranhao (Cemar - National Long-term
rating 'AA-(bra)'), the other distribution company of the group.
Celpa has already been showing positive results in 2013 and 2014,
although it still needs to be proved as sustainable. In the last
12 months ended on September 2014, EBITDA was BRL230 million
compared with BRL89 million reported in 2013. The agency expects
an EBITDA of around BRL300 million in 2014, and BRL574 million
including regulatory assets.
Lengthened Debt Maturity Profile
Celpa's debt profile benefits from an extended maturity schedule,
low financial cost and reduced foreign exchange risk as a result
of the debt renegotiation under the bankruptcy protection process.
At the end of September 2014,total debt was BRL3 billion, with 60%
of its financial obligations maturing beyond 2018 and cash and
marketable securities position of BRL323 million.
Fitch believes that the parent support from Equatorial mitigates
some Celpa's refinancing risk in the short term. On a pro forma
basis, Equatorial's and Celpa's cash position was BRL604 million,
a coverage of 0.8x for the company's short-term debt. The end of
the bankruptcy protection period on December 2014 should also
improve the company's ability to raise debt.
FCF to Remain Negative
Celpa's free cash flow (FCF) should remain negative for at least
the next couple of years. The company's capital expenditures are
expected to be high in 2014 in order to support the ambitious
operational improvements expected for the coming years. In the
LTM ended on Sept. 30, 2014, free cash flow (FCF) was negative at
214 million. The cash flow performance from 2015 on will largely
depend on the result of the tariff review process, which is
expected to have a net positive effect to the company, mainly due
to the recognition of a much stronger asset base.
Positive Results in Loss Reduction
The reduction of energy losses is an important challenge for
Celpa. The company's cash flow generation has been negatively
impacted by energy losses above the maximum levels established by
the regulatory agency and contemplated in its tariffs to end
consumers. Actions to reduce losses started effectively in August
2013 within this new management team period, with recent positive
results. In the LTM ended September 2014, energy losses of 31.7%
compares unfavorably with regulatory losses of 27.1% but showed a
great improvement compared to 36.5% recorded one year before.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Future actions that may individually or collectively cause Fitch
to take a positive rating action include:
-- Firm progress towards the achievement of a pro forma net
debt/EBITDA, combining Equatorial holding and Celpa, below
3.5x;
-- A return to positive free cash flow generation at Celpa;
-- Further evidence of improvements in Celpa's operational cash
flow, supported by losses reduction, combined with growth of
energy volumes invoiced and positive results in cost control
measures.
Future actions that may individually or collectively cause Fitch
to take a negative rating action include:
-- Pro forma net net leverage remaining at or above 4.5x;
-- Perception of lower support from Equatorial to Celpa.
Fitch has taken these rating actions:
-- Foreign and Local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs)
upgraded to 'BB-' from 'B-' and then withdrawn;
-- National scale rating upgraded to 'A(bra)' from 'BB+(bra)'.
The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Positive.
OAS S.A.: Fitch Lowers Issuer Default Ratings to 'C'
---------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Foreign Currency (FC) and Local
Currency (LC) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of OAS S.A. and
Construtora OAS S.A. to 'C' from 'B+' and their long-term National
Scale ratings to 'C(bra)' from 'BBB+(bra)'. In conjunction with
these rating actions, Fitch has downgraded the National Scale
rating of OAS Empreendimentos S.A. to 'C(bra)' from 'BBB-(bra)'.
All issuances related to these three companies, as well as the
perpetual bonds issued by OAS Finance Ltd. and the senior
unsecured notes issued by OAS Investments GmbH and OAS Finance
Ltd., were also affected by this rating action.
The ratings were removed from Negative Watch.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
These downgrades follow the announcement by OAS that it did not
pay the interest on its USD400 million senior unsecured notes due
2021, in the amount of USD16 million, issued by OAS Finance Ltd.
due today, thus entering the 30-day cure period. This issuance is
guaranteed by OAS S.A., Construtora OAS S.A. and OAS Investimentos
S.A. Since Nov. 19, 2014, all OAS company ratings have been on
Negative Watch, reflecting Fitch's concerns as to the financial
and business impacts on these corporates from corruption
allegations on contracts between Petrobras and several companies
in the sector and the ensuing federal investigation.
OAS and its subsidiaries' 'C' ratings reflect the company's
imminent default on this issuance and other financial obligations
to mature within the next days. The principal and interest
payment of OAS S.A.'s 9th debenture issuance will mature on
Jan. 5, 2015 and most likely will not be paid, which may lead to
an event of default depending on the investor's behavior. An
event of default can also accelerate the maturity of other debts
at OAS S.A., Construtora OAS S.A. and OAS Empreendimentos S.A.,
putting additional pressure on the OAS Group's liquidity.
OAS Group is facing difficulties in accessing credit lines and, in
the case of Construtora OAS S.A., in dealing with its clients in
terms of receiving payments and recognition of claims from
important projects. The company has chosen a strategy to preserve
its liquidity, opting to not pay its financial obligations in the
short term. With such a strategy, OAS intends to retain enough
liquidity to fund its working capital needs and keep its
operational activities as close to the regular pace as possible.
At the same time, the company will have the challenge to
renegotiate new terms and conditions of the payments with several
debtholders; such decisions are not managed by the company.
Disappointments in negotiating with creditors could lead the
company to file for bankruptcy protection. OAS also mentioned its
intention to explore the sale of certain assets in its portfolio.
According to OAS, its cash and marketable securities are expected
to reach BRL1 billion at Dec. 31, 2014. At the end of September
2014, OAS S.A. reported total recourse debt of BRL7.7 billion and
unrestricted cash and marketable securities of BRL1.4 billion,
under Fitch's methodology. Coverage ratio, measured by cash over
short-term debt was 1.4x.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Absent a material new event, OAS S.A. and its subsidiaries are
likely to default on their debt in the near future. Fitch
considers the agreement of all creditors to renegotiate their debt
as unlikely.
Fitch has downgraded these ratings:
OAS S.A.:
-- FC IDR to 'C' from 'B+';
-- LC IDR to 'C' from 'B+';
-- National scale rating to 'C(bra)' from 'BBB+(bra)';
-- BRL300 million debentures 3rd issuance due 2016 to 'C(bra)'
from 'BBB+(bra)';
-- BRL250 million debentures 4th issuance due 2027 to 'C(bra)'
from 'BBB+(bra)';
-- BRL300 million debentures 5th issuance due 2015 to 'C(bra)'
from 'BBB+(bra)'.
Construtora OAS S.A.:
-- FC IDR to 'C' from 'B+';
-- LC IDR to 'C' from 'B+';
-- National scale rating to 'C(bra)' from 'BBB+(bra)'.
OAS Investments GmbH:
-- FC IDR to 'C' from 'B+';
-- USD850 million senior unsecured notes due 2019 to 'C/RR4'
from 'B+/RR4'.
OAS Finance Ltd.:
-- USD500 million perpetual bonds to 'C/RR4' from 'B+/RR4';
-- USD400 million senior unsecured notes due 2021 to 'C/RR4'
from 'B+/RR4'.
OAS Empreendimentos S.A.:
-- National scale rating to 'C(bra)' from 'BBB-(bra)'.
OAS SA: To Sell Assets After Missing Bond Payment
-------------------------------------------------
Boris Korby and Christiana Sciaudone at Bloomberg News report that
OAS SA said it will sell assets to boost liquidity after missing a
bond payment and getting a ratings cut.
"Because of the difficulties in accessing credit markets, OAS is
in discussions with some of its main creditors for an organized
financial restructuring," the company said in an e-mailed response
to questions, according to Bloomberg News.
"OAS Finance Ltd., a subsidiary of OAS SA, didn't make the bond
payment to preserve liquidity and continue operations," the
company added, Bloomberg News relates.
OAS had its credit grade cut seven levels to C by Fitch Ratings
after missing a $16 million interest payment on dollar-denominated
bonds.
Bloomberg News relates that the company's US$400 million of
securities due 2021 have plunged to 33 cents on the dollar from
more than 90 cents in November amid a probe into builders that
allegedly bribed state-run oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA to
obtain contracts.
While OAS has a 30-day grace period to make the interest payment,
the company is likely to miss principal and interest due on
Brazilian bonds next week, which may lead to default, according to
Fitch, Bloomberg News relays.
OAS SA, which is having trouble accessing credit lines and
receiving payments from clients, has chosen to preserve cash as it
seeks to remain operational, Fitch said, Bloomberg News notes.
OAS has hired G5 Evercore as a financial adviser and Mattos Filho
Advogados and White & Case LLP as legal advisers to help with the
restructuring, Bloomberg News says.
Among the projects that OAS is working on are the Sao Paulo
international airport in Guarulhos and the Belo Monte hydropower
plant, which will be the world's third-largest dam, Bloomberg News
adds.
PETROLEO BRASILEIRO: Shares Worth Less Now
------------------------------------------
Kenneth Rapoza at Forbes reports that Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. is
now worth less than it was at its peak in May 2008.
Back then, Petrobras was worth around BRL$737 billion, or roughly
US$295 billion, according to Forbes. But, a series of government
policies, from how royalties will be paid to states, to how a
share offering that increased the state's ownership of the
Brazilian oil giant's stock, turned investors off, the report
notes.
Then, this year, a serious corruption scandal involving dozens of
high level managers within the company, sent Petrobras shares into
the single digits, Forbes discloses. It's now valued at BRL127
billion, less than US$50 billion.
The report notes that Petrobras shares have lost over 85% of their
value since 2009. Two U.S. law firms have filed a class action
lawsuit against the company, citing abuses of the Securities Act
of 1934's provision on anti-fraud, the report relays.
The government-owned company's third quarter earnings have not
been released, because its auditors -- PriceWaterhouseCoopers --
doesn't trust the numbers and won't sign off them, the report
notes.
Brazil's local securities exchange commission has six
investigations out on the company, and all of this has turned what
was once a favorite of world oil stocks, into an investor's
disaster, the report relays. Even Russian energy major Gazprom,
sanctioned since June and facing declining oil prices over the
last year, has done better than Petrobras over the last five
years, the report discloses. And year-to-date, while the Russian
entity is also a problem for investors, Gazprom stock is down just
3% while Petrobras is down 48% year to date, the report notes.
In June of 2008, when oil prices were forecast by the market to
hit $200 a barrel, Goldman Sachs equity analysts put a $60 price
target on Petrobras shares, the report relays. Five years later,
oil is not what it used to be, the report notes. And neither is
Petrobras, the report says.
But, the Brazilian oil giant doesn't have sliding crude to blame
for its conundrums, the report notes. No, it has its own
government to blame, the report relays.
Corruption and money laundering, once thought to be a thing of the
past for large Brazilian companies like this one, has taken away
something from Petrobras that will be hard to recover once the
scandals have been judged in the courts, the report discloses.
Petrobras will have to regain investor trust again, the report
says. And that means, regardless of how cheap this stock looks
now, Petrobras has a long way to go before it becomes the
Brazilian darling it once was to shareholders, notes the report.
Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. --
Petrobras (Brazilian Petroleum Corporation) -- explores for oil
and gas and produces, refines, purchases, and transports oil
and gas products. The Company has proved reserves of about 14.1
billion barrels of oil equivalent and operates 16 refineries, an
extensive pipeline network, and more than 8,000 gas stations.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Dec. 11, 2014, Moody's Investors Service lowered Petrobras'
Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) to ba1 from baa3. The outlooks on
all of the ratings remain negative for Petrobras, Brazil's
national oil company.

CARIBBEAN AIRLINES: Adding More Flights in Early 2015
-----------------------------------------------------
Trinidad Express reports that Caribbean Airlines Limited has
announced a revised schedule that will be implemented from January
15, 2015 through to February 4 because of increased travel demand.
"In addition to increased capacity and more non-stops, Caribbean
Airlines is also expecting major cost savings from a more
efficient schedule that will see better utilization of its 737 and
767 fleets. Many of the changes will focus on its Port of Spain
hub at Piarco Airport, where improved connection times will make
it easier for our guests to connect to/from various points in our
network," the airline said in a statement, according to Trinidad
Express.
The report notes that the new schedule changes include:
* The launch of a new daily non-stop between Trinidad and New York
featuring the first wide-body aircraft on the route, timed to
provide an end-of-business day flight.
* A new daily departure on the Trinidad/New York route,
increasing to three daily non-stops in each direction. With the
one-stop service on this route, frequencies will increase to 48
per week - more than triple any other airline.
* The Georgetown/New York route is increased to daily non-stops in
both directions. Frequencies over Trinidad are improved with
daily through flights to/from Toronto, Miami and New York.
* As the only airline offering non-stops from Trinidad to London,
CAL said it is increasing the frequencies, effective February 4,
2015 to four weekly flights.
* Termination of Toronto-Georgetown non-stop flights (two per
week) effective March 1, 2015 -- but replaced by a daily through
flight in both directions.
"Buoyed by the steep decline in its number one expense -- aircraft
fuel, Caribbean Airlines is confident that this new schedule will
build on the airline's goal to achieve profitability," the airline
said, the report notes.
"The revised 767 flying patterns will see increased utilization
and a more customer friendly schedule based solely on flights
to/from its Trinidad hub," the report adds.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices
for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
