Despite significant widening in high yield bond spreads on Tuesday, spreads recovered in the latter half of the week amid
news on Italy’s formation of a new populist government
High yield bond yields and spreads are now at 6.63% and 398 bps, a YTD high and surpassing the recent April 25th high of
6.61%
High yield new issue volume has been light; March, traditionally the busiest month of the year, was off 37% YoY, and May
issuance of $13.6 billion trailed last year’s figure by 46%

The high yield market and services spreads both jumped last month, with the services sector up 32 bps while the overall
market increased 16 bps
– This marks the third time this year were both indices increased concurrently, after happening only three times in 2017
Notable rating action:
– Pitney Bowes’ (Other) corporate credit rating and unsecured notes were downgraded at S&P to BB+ from BBB, with a
negative outlook. Per S&P, “The downgrade reflects Pitney Bowes' elevated adjusted leverage, at 3.6x as of March 31,
2018, due to the continued transition of its business to the growing e-commerce markets and the ongoing declines in its
traditional SMB mail business”

Returns
The KeyBanc Business Services (“KBBS”) Index and S&P 500 both continued to climb last month after gaining in April
Overall, six of the nine tracked subsectors posted gains for the month. Non-Heavy Equipment Rental had the largest monthly
gain at 8.8%, while Heavy Equipment Rental was runner-up with a 7.8% monthly gain
Notable stats:
– The KBBS Index was up 2.5% m/m and is up 20.0% y/y vs. an S&P 500 gain of 2.2% and 12.2%, respectively
– EV / EBITDA valuations drifted higher in May, with five subsectors posting gains for the month and five trading above their
LTM averages. Although the majority of subsectors posted a gain, the average LTM premium stayed at 1%, which
matched April and is slightly below the 2% premium seen in March

– After seeing HER post the
largest gain the past three
months, Facility Services
decided to claim the top spot,
posting a 7.0% m/m advance.
The strong showing was
attributable to SP Plus
Corporation exceeding earnings
expectations, posting quarterly
revenue and EBITDA of $219.5
and $27.3, versus expectations
of $218.0 and $24.5,
respectively
– EV / EBITDA valuations
drifted lower in April, with
eight subsectors posting
gains for the month, and six
trading above their LTM
averages. Consequently,
the average LTM premium
jumped to 8%, vs. February
and January’s premiums of
6% and 7%, respectively
Recall that two companies
were delisted in March
following their acquisition by
another public company
followed in this newsletter
– CEB Inc. (Knowledge-
Based Consulting) was
acquired by Gartner, Inc.
(Data-Based Consulting)
– G&K Services, Inc. (Non-
Heavy Equipment
Rental) was acquired by
Cintas Corporation (Non-
Heavy Equipment
Rental)
The KeyBanc Business Services (“KBBS”) Index retreated from last month’s three year high, posting a slight drop. However, the
S&P 500 posted a gain for the month while finishing near a three year high again
Overall, four of the nine tracked subsectors posted gains. Advertising / Marketing posted the largest monthly gain, a spike of
10.7%, while Knowledge-Based Consulting was the tough-luck runner-up, posting an equally impressive 9.0% climb.
Uncharacteristically, Data-Based Consulting was the month’s laggard, with a gain of just 1.1%. Excluding the 25% drop from the
Equifax scandal, the sector would have posted gains of ~4%
Notable stats:
– The KBBS Index was up 6.1% m/m and is now up 20.4% y/y vs. an S&P 500 gain of 1.9% and 16.2%, respectively
– EV / EBITDA valuations drifted higher in September, with all nine subsectors posting gains for the month and eight
trading above their LTM averages. Consequently, the average LTM premium climbed to 9%, vs. August and July’s 7% and
6%, respectively
Facility Services was the month’s
laggard, with a loss of 1.4%.
ABM was the subsector’s largest
drag, dropping more than 12%
during the month due to missed
earnings and lower than
expected guidance
– Overall, the average LTM
premium narrowed to 1%, down
from 2% in March and 3% in
February

GDP
Conference Board Leading Index ISM Indices
GDP Price Index
The latest Q1 GDP estimate landed at 2.2%, matching the consensus. Consumer spending ticked downward to 1.0%
– The ISM Non-Manufacturing and ISM Manufacturing indices registered moves of (2.0) and 1.5 points, respectively. New
manufacturing orders improved both m/m and y/y, 1.6% and 9.1%, respectively
– The Conference Board Leading Index increased 0.4% in April to 109.4. The 6-month annualized growth rate slowed to
6.7%, from 8.8%. “April’s increase and continued uptrend in the U.S. LEI suggest solid growth should continue in the
2H2018. However, the LEI’s six-month growth rate has recently moderated somewhat, suggesting growth is unlikely to
strongly accelerate,” said Ataman Ozyildirim, Director of Business Cycles and Growth Research at The Conference Board

0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. Both indices increased year over year, 2.6% and 2.3%, respectively
– Business expectations for inflation dipped slightly to 2.0% in May, from 2.3% in April
– Small business optimism, as reported by the NFIB, rose a tenth of a point to 104.80 in April. “Never in the history of this
survey have we seen profit trends so high. The optimism small business owners have about the economy is turning into
new job creation, increased wages and benefits, and investment,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan

Forward Yield Curve - June 30
Yield Curve - May 31
Forward Yield Curve - 5/31/2019
The Fed meets again on June 12. Currently, Fed Fund futures show a near certainty of at least 1 rate hike (pg. 12)
Recall that on May 2, the Fed maintained the Fed Funds target rate at 1.50% - 1.75%, with a 8-0 vote. Excerpts from the
press release:
– “Inflation on a 12-month basis is expected to run near the Committee’s symmetric 2 percent objective over the medium
term. Risks to the economic outlook appear roughly balanced”
– “In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee
will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent
inflation … The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant further gradual
increases in the federal funds rate”

. Only 41% of trading
days saw the yield rise,
and the trading range
was 26 bps throughout
the month. The average
up day saw a bps
increase of 4.3, while the
average down day saw a
bps decline of 2.9. From
the 13th to the 15th, the 10
year UST yield rose 12
bps, due to the FOMC
rate hike and increased
2017 rate expectations
All eyes will be on the Fed on June 14th, when the
FOMC decides whether to maintain or raise the Fed
Funds target rate. As of now, Fed Fund futures point to
a ~91% chance of the target rate getting hiked to 1.00%
- 1.25% (pg. 12)
Remember that on May 3rd, the FOMC announced that
they would keep the Fed Funds target rate at 0.75% -
1.00%. Key takeaways:
– The committee stated that the slowing in the first
quarter was likely “transitory” and that it expects
economic activity to expand “at a moderate pace”
– After the announcement, the probability of a June
hike spiked to the low-90s, from a
preannouncement level of around 60%
– Barring any unforeseen negative economic data or
political showdowns, it seems safe to assume a rate
hike will come at the FOMC meeting starting June
13th, with the announcement on the 14th
On July 26th, the Fed maintained the Fed
Funds target rate at 1.00% - 1.25%. This
outcome was expected and did not surprise
the market
Key takeaway:
– The Fed increased its 2017 GDP estimate
to 2.2% vs. the 2.1% estimated in March,
while decreasing inflation expectations
from 1.9% to 1.6% and unemployment rate
expectations from 4.5% to 4.3%
Recall that in June, the FOMC noted that the
balance sheet normalization program is
expected to be implemented later this year. The
program “would gradually reduce the Federal
Reserve's securities holdings by decreasing
reinvestment of principal payments from those
securities.” Context: the Fed balance sheet
currently sits at more than $4 trillion, compared
to less than $1 trillion in 2008. The Fed’s plan is
to initially cap roll-off of assets at $10bn a month
($6bn for treasuries, $4bn for MBS), eventually
reaching $50bn a month, ($30bn and $20bn,
respectively) which is targeted for 12 months
after initial implementation
As of now, expectations are at ~42% for at
least one more rate hike by the end of the year
(pg. 11)
Longer-run projections
represent each
participant’s
assessment of the rate
to which each variable
would be expected to
converge under
appropriate monetary
policy and in the
absence of further
shocks to the
economy
The Fed hiking rates to 1.75% - 2.00% at
the June meeting are a near certainty.
The question now – how many more rate
hikes in 2018? (pg. 12)
