S&P raises AppLovin

S&P said it boosted its ratings on AppLovin Corp. and its senior secured debt to BB- from B+.

“AppLovin Corp. ended 2021 with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted net leverage in the high-2x area, with over $1.5 billion cash on the balance sheet. We expect leverage will decline to the low-2x area in 2022 as the company benefits from strong secular trends in both digital advertising and mobile gaming,” the agency said in a press release.

The company recently reported a $750 million share repurchase authorization. If AppLovin were to spend all its $1.5 billion cash balance on acquisitions and share repurchases in 2022, S&P said it still believes the company would end 2022 with leverage of about 4x or below.

The outlook is stable.
