Fitch gives B+ to Curium loan

Fitch Ratings said it gave expected B+/RR3 (56%) ratings to Curium BidCo Sarl’s planned around €1.3 billion term loan B.

The issuer will use the proceeds for refinancing loans totaling around €1.3 billion, also rated BB+/RR3. The refinancing will push the debt maturities back to 2029.

“We expect the margin on the TLBs to rise slightly, raising estimated interest expense to €105 million over 2023-2026, from €95 million pre-transaction. Leverage metrics remain unchanged and we see the transaction as overall credit neutral, with slightly higher interest expense and lower free cash flow offset by the benefit of longer-dated debt maturities,” Fitch said in a press release.

The outlook is stable.
