S&P lowers STI Infrastructure

S&P said it lowered its corporate credit rating on STI Infrastructure Sarl to CCC from CCC+.

The outlook is negative.

At the same time, the agency lowered its issue-level rating on the company's term loan to CCC from CCC+. The 3 recovery rating remains, indicating an expectation for meaningful recovery (50-70%; rounded estimate: 60%) in the event of a payment default.

S&P said the downgrade reflects a belief that the company is likely to face a near-term liquidity crisis over the next 12 months given limited sources of liquidity at March 31, including its limited cash balance of under $10 million, extremely limited revolver availability of less than $1 million and negative free operating cash flow generation.
