If we wanted to discuss runoff, attached is the scenario Alvarez &
Marsal did for GSO Capital (a unit of Blackstone I believe)
Attached.
This is vinatge 2014
but it ain't happening.
it
does show as of 2014, everyone gets paid, including some significant
crumbs for common stock holders. Specifically, $61.4 billion for FNMA
and $47.6 billion for Freddie Mac, after tax. These dollars would first
be distributed to preferred stock holders, then common stock. let us
assume the government says "ok, we got paid our principal back and 10%
dividends, so we relent, you guys can have your companies back"
Fannie Mae:
http://www.fanniemae.com/resources/file/ir/pdf/quarterly-annual-results/2016/10k_2016.pdf$61.4bn at liquidation
repay $19.13bn junior preferred at par, no dividends declared (the A&M report assumes zero cash distributions in the runoff)
$42.27bn left
1,158,082,750 shares outstanding
$36 per share
Freddie Mac:
http://www.freddiemac.com/investors/sec_filings/index.html$47.6bn at liquidation
repay
$14.109bn junior preferred at par, no dividends declared (the A&M
report assumes zero cash distributions in the runoff)
$33.491bn left
650,046,828 shares outstanding
$51.5 per share
The
companies are worth far less now, three years later. Capital has been
slashed. Earnings are better. Any shock during the runoff would mean
immediate BK.
This also assumes government demands no more
payment on Senior preferred, and government does not exercise warrants.
If they exercise, the per share price gets divided by 5, immediately.
The
analysis by A&M also assumes no cash distribution for 10 years.
So, you have to wait 10 years before you get one penny of that 10+
bagger. and risk an economic shock wipes you out in the meantime.
so
there you go common stock holders, pray for a runoff! Hell, I'd take
it too, but I wouldn't wait ten years for it. I'd sell out if this were
the plan. The value of the shares will creep up the closer you get to
year ten in anticipation of finally getting the hands on the cash.
Again, assumes the government decides to get out of the way. And assumes we don't need these companies anymore.
Anyway,
we need these companies, so they aren't going away. They need capital
to withstand a runoff over ten years. They don't have it.
