S&P lowers Owens & Minor

S&P said it lowered Owens & Minor Inc.’s ratings to B- from B on weaker-than-expected guidance.

The outlook is negative.

“Owens & Minor Inc. (OMI) guided to revenue and EBITDA declines in 2020 and we now project free cash flow generation to debt of about 2% in 2020, less than we previously expected,” the agency said in a news release.

“The operational shortfall outweighs recent positive developments from a credit agreement amendment and proposed debt paydown.”

S&P also lowered the issue-level rating for the credit facility to B- from B. In light of a new accounts receivable facility, the agency revised the recovery rating on the existing secured debt to 4 from 3, reflecting an expectation for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate: 40%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
