S&P upgrades KION

Standard & Poor’s said it raised the long-term corporate credit rating on KION Group AG to BB+ from BB.

The agency also said it lifted the rating to BB+ from BB on the €450 million senior secured notes due 2010 issued by special-purpose vehicle, KION Finance SA.

The recovery rating remains at 4, indicating 30% to 50% expected default recovery.

The outlook is stable.

The upgrades stem from KION’s track record of solid operating performance and strengthening margins, S&P said.

The company’s improved diversity and contributions from the service business will reduce the volatility of profits, the agency added.
