Ørsted A/S is a renewable energy company operating primarily in the unregulated power and gas sector, though it benefits from long-term contractual arrangements (like PPAs and CfDs) which provide infrastructure-like cash flow visibility. The company has a long history of issuing hybrid bonds (first issuance in 2005 and issuance in 2021/2022) and already recognizes hybrid capital in its equity, demonstrating a track record of treating these instruments as core recurring funding. From a credit profile perspective, Ørsted exhibits an Investment Grade profile in the BBB area. Its S&P FFO/Net Debt ratio stands at 31.24% (0.3124) and Net Debt/EBITDA is 2.5x, which corresponds to a "significant" financial risk profile (low BBB). The Moody's adjusted leverage trend is "Improving", and the company is highly profitable with a solid EBITDA margin. While the metrics are improving and stable, the issuance of hybrid bonds materially improves adjusted leverage and FFO/debt ratios, providing crucial rating headroom to preserve its IG status amidst heavy capital expenditure (Construction in Progress of ~49 billion DKK). Furthermore, the market environment for subordinated debt is favorable, and the company has high credibility in executing its financial policy, as evidenced by the significant hybrid capital already on its balance sheet (~19.8 billion DKK). The entity meets the criteria for "Strongly Suitable" due to its utility/infrastructure-like cash flows, its BBB-area credit profile that benefits from the rating headroom hybrids provide, its strong capex funding rationale, and its established track record of hybrid issuance. Strongly Suitable
