9fin is pleased to introduce a new regular report: The Distressed Pitch-list.

We will be publishing the Pitch-list every two weeks and in it we aim to identify topical credits that may be targets for liability management exercises and / or turnaround efforts in the future, and that are for the most part not yet deeply distressed.

The list includes both public and private issuers that may be subject to a number of actionable triggers, including earnings pressure, elevated leverage, an unsustainable capital structure, a potential covenant breach, liquidity need, failed M&A, operational turnaround, or upcoming maturities.

The list will be monitored and updated with relevant commentary regarding corporate actions, earnings results, secondary trading levels, and 9fin intelligence. For each issuer, we will include its relevant ticker or symbol, its current enterprise value, debt, EBITDA, net leverage, potential triggers, a business description and the next catalyst date.

The first names on the list comprise:

• Anywhere Real Estate
• Bowlero
• Embecta
• Leslie’s
• Multiplan
• Paramount
• Petco
• Trinseo
• Uniti Group
• US LBM
