S&P downgrades Abaco Energy

S&P said it lowered the corporate credit rating on Abaco Energy Technologies LLC to CCC from CCC+.

The agency also said it lowered the rating on the company's first-lien debt to CCC from B- and revised the recovery rating to 3 from 2, indicating 50% to 70% expected default recovery.

The outlook is negative.

The downgrades reflect an assessment of the company's high interest and amortization costs, which will continue to be a burden on liquidity despite the equity infusion from its investors completed earlier this year, S&P explained.

The company's financing costs, which are higher than the projected EBITDA for 2016, present considerable risk, the agency said.
