Moody’s downgrades Hot Topic

Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded Hot Topic, Inc.’s corporate family rating to B3 from B2, the probability of default rating to B3-PD from B2-PD, and the senior secured notes rating to B3 from B2.

The outlook is stable.

The agency said the downgrade reflects Hot Topic's same store sales and EBITDA declines in the first half of 2017, and Moody's expectations that increased competition and mall traffic declines will lead to continued earnings weakness in the next 12-18 months.
