Moody’s rates Aptos facilities B2, Caa2

Moody's Investors Service said it affirmed Aptos, Inc.'s B3 corporate family rating and B3-PD probability of default rating and assigned a B2 rating to the company's proposed $260 million first-lien senior secured credit facility and a Caa2 rating to the proposed $100 million senior secured second-lien term loan.

The outlook is stable.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed bank credit facilities to refinance its existing debt and pay related fees and expenses.

Aptos will enter into a new $30 million revolving credit facility, which will be undrawn at close, Moody’s said.

The B3 ratings of Aptos' existing first-lien credit facilities are not affected and will be withdrawn upon repayment in conjunction with the refinancing, the agency said.

"Though we expect Aptos' debt leverage to remain high and cash flows limited over the next 12-18 months, its next generation omni-channel cloud native platform is expected to drive higher SaaS revenues, increase customer retention and drive higher margin and cash flow over time," Moody's assistant vice president and analyst Oleg Markin said in a news release.
