S&P lowers Milacron, rates loan B

Standard & Poor’s said it affirmed the B corporate credit rating on Milacron Intermediate Holdings Inc.

The outlook is stable.

The agency also said it affirmed the B rating on the company’s subsidiary, Milacron LLC’s senior secured debt, including the $343 million term loan due 2020 and $275 million 8 3/8% senior secured notes due 2019.

The recovery rating on this debt remains at 3, indicating 50% to 70% expected default recovery.

S&P also said it lowered the rating on Milacron LLC’s existing $465 million 7¾% senior unsecured notes due 2021 to CCC+ from B-. The recovery rating also was revised to 6 from 5, indicating 0 to 10% expected default recovery.

The agency also said it assigned a B rating and 4 recovery rating to the company’s proposed $730 million term loan due 2020. The 4 recovery rating indicates 30% to 50% expected default recovery.

The company operates in the highly cyclical, fragmented and competitive global plastics technology solutions market and is exposed to volatile raw material costs, S&P said.

These factors are partly offset by the company’s well-established global market positions, broad product portfolio, large installed base and brand recognition, the agency said.
