S&P lowers Aspect Software

Standard & Poor’s said it lowered the corporate credit rating on Aspect Software Inc. to CCC+ from B-.

The outlook is negative.

S&P also said it lowered the rating on the company’s term loan and revolving credit facility to B- from B. The recovery rating on this debt remains at 2, indicating 70% to 90% expected default recovery.

The agency also said it lowered the rating on the company’s second-lien notes to CCC from CCC+. The recovery rating on the notes remains at 5, indicating 10% to 30% expected default recovery.

The downgrade is based on Aspect’s ongoing weak free cash flow and weak liquidity, which reflects continued tight covenant headroom despite a recent amendment of covenant tests, S&P said, and the upcoming maturities of the revolving credit facility in February 2016 and term loan in May 2016.
