2019 rain showers (non-workday)

March Analysis:

  • March 2018 contained the Good Friday holiday. In 2019 the

Good Friday holiday will occur in April. Despite the difference in holidays, both months experienced the same number of

  • workdays. Last year the Wednesday and Thursday prior to the

Easter holiday weekend experienced higher than normal volumes resulting in lower traffic this year on the same days.

  • March 2019 had fewer lane closures on alternative highways

due to less collisions combined with more precipitation events compared to March 2018, resulting in a negative impact on Highway 407 ETR traffic in March 2019.

  • Average gas prices in Toronto averaged 113.4 cents per litre in

March 2019 compared to 124.0 cents per litre in March 2018, a decrease of 8.5%. The decrease in gas price year over year was

  • ffset by the 22.7% spike in gas prices from February 11, 2019

to the end of March in 2019 resulting in lower than normal traffic in March 2019.

Su Summary of

  • f th

the Cap apit ital l Str Structure Plan lan

  • In May 2012, Management developed the Capital Structure Plan.
  • The Capital Structure Plan was approved by the Shareholders and Board of Directors in July 2012.
  • The Capital Structure Plan is performance based. The quantum of additional leverage is relative to the performance of the

Company.

  • Key features of the Capital Structure Plan:
  • Issue senior bonds (with 12-month reserves) for gradual additional leverage and maintain coverage ratios:
  • Senior indenture coverage ratios of greater than 1.70x. (indenture requirement: 1.35x). Indenture coverage ratios

include 30-year shadow principal amortization on bullet maturities.

  • Senior and junior cash coverage ratios of greater than 2.00x.
  • In addition to minimum indenture cash requirement of $10 million and reserves of approximately $615 million (as at

December 31, 2018) , the Company will maintain additional cash balance (current level of $105 million), equal to the sum of:

  • 3 months of budgeted cash annual operating expenses (excluding provision for doubtful accounts)
  • 3% of budgeted annual revenues
  • Excess cash balance would be paid to shareholders as dividends.

Actual Senior Indenture DSCR

Indenture Requirement (1.35x) Capital Structure Plan Target (1.70x)

  • No significant additional leverage issued in 2018 due to a

high ending cash balance from operations in 2017 which was used, in part, to fund the Company’s operations, including the 2018 dividends.

  • Continue to increase the leverage of the highway asset
  • Slow down deleveraging due to increasing EBITDA
  • Gradual additional leverage
  • Performance based
  • Mitigate risk of ratings upgrade
  • Reward shareholders
  • Committed to maintaining existing credit ratings: “A” for

Senior bonds, “A-/A(low)” for Junior bonds, and “BBB” for Subordinated bonds.

  • Debt Service Coverage Ratios:
  • Target senior indenture DSCR: 1.70x; indenture

Credit Ra Ratings

Senior/Junior/Subordinated Bonds A/A- (low)/BBB, Stable Trend December 8, 2018

  • “All trends are Stable, supported by the solid long-term economic

fundamentals of the catchment area, sound cash flow generation and good operating efficiency.”

  • “Further population increases and the extension of the Highway

407 east to Oshawa, should support continued traffic growth. The Ontario government estimates that the population of the GTA will reach 9.7 million by 2041.”

  • “The growth in leverage was in line with the Company’s intentions

as framed in its management discussion and analysis of June 2012 to gradually increase debt by way of bullet bonds of staggered maturities, with long-term preferences, while maintaining a cash- based senior and junior DSCRs above 2.0x and a senior DSCR, including shadow amortization as per its Master Trust Indenture, above 1.7x.”

Senior/Junior/Subordinated Bonds A/A-/BBB, Stable Outlook June 2019

  • “Robust toll revenue performance is driven by the highway’s strategic

location, with strong and inelastic demand characteristics and unfettered ability to raise tolls.”

  • “We expect rising population and employment in greater Toronto,

together with longer travel times on 407’s congested alternatives, will continue to support long-term demand.”

  • “We view this toll road to have significant ratings stability, relative to

its peers.”

  • “Reasonable leverage compared to peers’ and strong financial

discipline providing for solid downside resiliencies.”

  • “Overall, 407 is rated above peers, reflecting its robust financial and
  • peration performance and lower leverage.”

lio Three levels of priority

  • Senior bonds are ranked first in priority; bondholders enjoy the protection of a series reserve account that equals 12

months of principal and interest.

  • Many different structures of senior bonds: nominal bullet, nominal amortizer, bullet real return bond (RRB),

amortizing real return bond (ARRB), synthetic inflation protection securities (SIPS).

  • Since 2005, the Company has only issued plain, “vanilla”, nominal bullet bonds.
  • Junior bonds are ranked second in priority; bondholders also enjoy the protection of a series reserve account that

equals 12 months of principal and interest.

  • Senior and junior bondholders enjoy the protection of the dividend distributions tests.
  • Subordinated bonds are ranked behind senior and junior bonds and do not have the protection of a series reserve
  • account. The Company must satisfy the distribution test prior to any payment of interest to subordinated bondholders.

Key Features of

  • f th

the In Indenture

39

Dividend Distribution and Subordinated Interest Payment

  • Prior to a dividend distribution or payment of interest on subordinated debt, the Company must provide an Officer’s Certificate to

the Trustee certifying the following:

  • Net Revenues for the 12 calendar months most recently ended were at least equal to 135% of the Annual Senior Debt Service for such 12

month period.

  • Projected Net Revenues for the next 12 calendar months will be at least equal to 135% of the Annual Senior Debt Service for such 12 month

period.

Additional Indebtedness

  • Prior to issuing additional debt, the Company must provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that Net Revenues

during any consecutive 12 month period during the most recently completed 18 month period was not less than 135% of the Annual Senior Debt Service.

Ratings Affirmation Covenant (“RAC”)

  • For all bonds issued prior to June 2010, ratings affirmation letters must be issued by both rating agencies affirming the existing

credit ratings of all of the Company’s existing bonds.

  • Bondholders whose bonds were issued post-June 2010 do not have the same protection as the RAC is not attached to these bonds.

However, these bondholders can “piggy-back” off of the pre-June 2010 bond issuances; the last of which remain outstanding until 2040.

Regula latory ry Framework

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Well-defined regulatory framework. 407 ETR is not subject to periodic regulatory reviews as the Concession Agreement applies for the full concession term (i.e. until 2098) and can only be changed by mutual agreement.

Highway 407 Act:

  • Powers of Concessionaire (collection of tolls, exemption of tolls, etc.)
  • Plate denial, enforcement of tolls, dispute process
  • Collection and use of personal information
  • Highway closure, emergency planning

Highway Traffic Act:

  • Plate visibility
  • Powers of police officers (search and seizure)
  • Definition of toll device and transponder mounting
  • Toll evasion, sale of interference devices, etc.
  • Compulsory use of transponders for heavy vehicles

St Statutes

  • A Congestion Payment may be due if:

1. Applicable rate > Toll Threshold and Average Segment Flow Rate (ASFR) is less than the Traffic Threshold. 2. The congestion payment is twice the traffic shortfall times the toll rate overage.

  • Only one Congestion Payment made ($30,000 for 2003).
  • As Traffic Threshold increases, the likelihood of a “Traffic Shortfall” increases on some segments.
