S&P ups Omnova Solutions

S&P said it raised its issuer credit rating on Omnova Solutions Inc. to B+ from B. The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the company’s first-lien term loan to B+ from B. The recovery rating remains 3, reflecting an expectation of meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 65%) recovery in event of default.

“The upgrade reflects Omnova’s improved credit measures over the past year, driven by improving EBITDA and debt reduction. Specifically, debt to EBITDA has improved to 4.5x for the last-12-months period ended in May 2018, from 6.1x for the same period ended in May 2017,” S&P said in a news release.
