Is Ineos in financial woes?

Senior secured bond with a 5 year maturity and 7% interest payments.

Senior Secured Bonds​

Any security labeled "senior" in such a structure is one that takes primacy over any other company’s sources of capital. The most-senior securities holders will always be first to receive a payout from a company’s holdings in the event of default. Then would come those security-holders whose securities are deemed second-highest in seniority, and so forth until the assets used to pay off such debts run out.
 
Beside development costs they need to keep things running, pay the salaries, suppliers, etc. I doubt that the Grenadier sales pay that. Maybe that's the reason why they are talking with Chery to produce Chery cars in Hambach, giving away space and personell. To spread the running costs, which can't be payed by Grenadier sales.

If you've only got one slow selling beer and lots of vats, contract brewing is a second best substitute for not having more beers to sell.

Ineos issued bonds for €650 mio. for the cracker in Antwerp, "Project One".

By doing so they circumvent the high interest charges after their credibility was ranked down, again.

The difference to shares, owning a bond makes you a creditor and the money must be payed back. You have to wait until 5,5 years until you get the money back and maybe some on top.

"junk" is at 8.5 and they are at 7.5. ... Getting there.
 
INEOS Project ONE is a €4 billion ethane cracker and petrochemical complex under construction in Antwerp, Belgium, set to be the largest European chemical investment in decades and the most sustainable of its kind. Its main goal is to produce ethylene from ethane gas using advanced, energy-efficient technology to create essential building blocks for products like medicine, building materials, textiles, and auto and wind turbine components.

“High yield bonds sold off significantly in 2022, on the back of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gas shortage fears, broader supply chain disruptions and rising inflation,” Morningstar fund analyst Jeana Marie Doubell says. “But solid fundamental factors, such as strong balance sheets and resilient corporate earnings, have helped support recovery and further spread tightening in the years since then.” Spreads between the yields of high-yield bonds and safer assets such as US Treasuries tighten when investors’ confidence in high-yield bonds increases.

“Default rates have also remained relatively low in recent years, and the high yield cohort- typically sub-investment grade bonds rated BB to CCC- have actually shifted up in quality compared to 10 years ago,” Doubell explains. “Even so, high-yield bonds’ shorter duration profile, a measure of interest rate sensitivity, helped shield the asset class from interest rate volatility in 2022/2023, versus investment grade bonds with higher duration.”

"Over the last 12 months, EUR high yield bond funds have returned 7.09%. On an annualized rate, EUR high yield bond funds have returned 8.01% over the last three years and gained 3.81% over the last five years. That compares with the Morningstar Eurozone Core Bond Index, which has returned 3.84% over the last 12 months, gained 1.06% per year over the last three years, and lost 1.95% per year over the last five years."


I don't see the sky falling anytime soon for Ineos Automotive OR Ineos Chemical either.

INEOS Automotive delivered strong commercial growth and robust financial discipline in 2024, only its second year of sales. The company is charting a positive trend, with growing revenues and gross profit, despite operating in what is widely acknowledged to be the most turbulent period the automotive industry has ever faced.

A posted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) loss of €30 million – representing a 76% improvement on 2023 – is a standout result in a cost intensive industry where losses at this stage of development in start-ups frequently run into the billions.

INEOS Automotive reported a 58% increase in revenue to €789 million in 2024, while gross profit increased by 77% year on year. These strong results were driven by continued global demand for the Grenadier and the successful launch of the Quartermaster, which together registered >40% growth in sales over 2023. The company also expanded into six new territories – including China, the world’s largest automotive market – and now operates in over 50 countries worldwide.

INEOS Automotive’s results demonstrate a clear focus on getting the basics right: operational efficiency, a keen focus on costs and long-term sustainable growth. With strong backing from INEOS Group, a long-term strategy, and a clear path to profitability, INEOS Automotive is proving that it’s possible to build a successful global automotive brand with discipline, ambition, and resilience.
