S&P lowers Kratos Defense view to negative

Standard & Poor’s said it revised the outlook on Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. to negative from stable.

The agency also said it affirmed all of the ratings on the company, including its B- corporate credit rating.

The negative outlook reflects the potential for a downgrade if the company is unable to improve its very weak credit metrics and remedy its free cash flow deficit, S&P said.

The company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio was about 11x in 2015, compared with an expectation for a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7.5x to 8.5x, the agency said.

The company also posted $41 million of negative free cash flow for the year, S&P added.
