S&P lifts Great Lakes Dredge

Standard & Poor’s said it raised the corporate credit rating on Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. to B from B-.

The agency also said it raised the rating on the company’s senior unsecured notes, including its $25 million add-on, to B from B-. The 4 recovery rating on the company’s senior unsecured notes is unchanged and indicates 30% to 50% expected default recovery.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings reflect improved debt leverage at the company, as well as a view that credit measures will continue to improve in 2015, S&P said.

The sale of the demolition business earlier this year has improved operating performance and debt leverage, the agency added.
