S&P upgrades Eurasian Resources

S&P said it raised Eurasian Resources Group Sarl’s issuer rating to B from B-.

“ERG will sustainably maintain FFO to debt above 20% if it keeps debt at current levels. As expected, the group reduced its gross debt to $7.1 billion in 2021–our key debt metric since we don't net ERG's cash with debt. With the current asset setup, we believe the group's EBITDA should be about $2 billion through the cycle. Coupled with current debt levels, this should support debt to EBITDA of below 3.5x, which corresponds to FFO to debt of about 20% through the cycle,” S&P said in a press release.

The agency said it sees ERG’s EBITDA nearing $4.9 billion in 2022.

The outlook is stable.
