S&P assigns Safran BBB+

S&P said it assigned Safran SA a BBB+ issuer rating.

“The BBB+ rating primarily reflects Safran's strong balance sheet, conservative financial policy, and strong cash generation profile, supported by relatively resilient profit margins; as well as its significant exposure to the commercial aerospace sector that is undergoing a significant downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” S&P said in a press release.

The agency said it forecasts Safran will keep EBITDA margins of above 15% over 2021-2022 and generate free operating cash flow (FOCF) of close to €1 billion in 2021 and €1 billion-€1.5 billion in 2022, compared with about €1.4 billion in 2020 and about €2.3 billion in 2019.

The outlook is stable.
