S&P downgrades Ammega

S&P said it downgraded its ratings on Ammega Group BV and its term loan B to B- from B.

“Due to the coronavirus pandemic and resulting expectation of global recession across industries, we no longer think that Ammega Group BV will be able to improve its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted gross debt to EBITDA to about 6.5x in 2020. This level of leverage was necessary for maintaining the previous ratings following the €150 million term loan B add-on,” said S&P in a press release.

“We still expect that Ammega will deleverage in 2020, but at a slower pace, on the back of sustainably positive free operating cash flow (FOCF),” S&P said.

The outlook is stable.
