• Credit markets are overstating VREX’s credit risk with a YTW of 5.236%, relative to an Intrinsic YTW of 3.986% and an Intrinsic CDS of 280bps. Meanwhile, Moody’s is also materially overstating the firm’s fundamental credit risk, with its highly speculative B2 credit rating seven notches lower than Valens’ IG4+ (Baa1) credit rating.
  
• Incentives Dictate Behavior™ analysis highlights mostly positive signals for VREX credit holders. Management’s compensation framework should drive them to focus on all three value drivers: asset efficiency, margin expansion, and revenue growth, which may lead to Uniform ROA improvement and higher cash flows available for servicing obligations. In addition, management members are not well-compensated in a change-in-control scenario, indicating they are unlikely to pursue a sale or accept a buyout of the firm, limiting event risk.
