Financial Communication

Communication between companies and their capital market addressees needs to be determined by transparency and credibility. A clear, open information policy that makes figures credible as an expression of the corporate strategy creates trust and confidence among all financial stakeholders.

Financial Communication in particular in companies financed by private equity investors requires a dedicated and sophisticated dialogue with their capital market addressees because of the following facts:

• Often a company’s restructuring or transformation, possibly also supplemented by a new management team, create a phase of uncertainty;
• Bond investors usually focus more on liquidity, working capital and the ability to repay debts than on possible opportunities in the future, in particular at the beginning of a private equity process – even though they do not ignore these opportunities;
• The mostly underlying non-investment grade rating does not explicitly make financial instruments fast-selling items; this makes communication more challenging;
• Regular reporting obligations to the international financial community are contractually fixed and require professional structures and processes.
