S&P downgrades McDermott

Standard & Poor’s said it lowered the corporate credit rating on McDermott International Inc. to B+ from BB-.

The outlook is stable.

The agency also said it lowered the ratings on the company’s $400 million senior secured LOC facility and $300 million senior secured first-lien term loan to BB from BB+.

The recovery ratings on the first-lien facilities remains at 1, indicating 90% to 100% expected default recovery.

S&P also said it lowered the rating on the company’s $500 million second-lien notes to BB- from BB. The recovery rating on the notes remains at 2, indicating 70% to 90% expected default recovery.

The downgrades reflect a view that a rebound in McDermott’s operating cash flows and decline in debt leverage to below 4x will likely take longer than previously anticipated, S&P said.
