S&P gives Hayward loan B

S&P said it assigned its B issue-level rating and 3 recovery rating to Hayward Industries Inc.’s proposed $150 million first-lien term loan maturing 2026.

The company intends to use the proceeds and cash on hand to fund a one-time $275 million dividend to its sponsor owners and pay other transaction expenses.

Simultaneously, S&P affirmed the B issue-level on the company’s $958 million first-lien senior secured term loan maturing 2024 and the CCC+ issue-level rating on its second-lien term loan. The 3 recovery rating on the first-lien debt remains unchanged, indicating expectations for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) recovery in a default. The 6 recovery rating on the company’s second-lien term loan also remains unchanged, indicating an expectation for negligible (0%-10%; rounded estimate: 5%) recovery in a default.
