Fitch gives B to Cedacri notes

Fitch Ratings said it gave expected B/RR4 ratings to Cedacri Mergeco SpA’s planned €250 million of floating-rate notes and revised the outlook to negative from stable. The agency also affirmed the B issuer and senior secured ratings.

The proceeds will finance about a €50 million tax payment, which will give Cedacri access to tax savings. The issue will also finance around €150 million of shareholder distributions.

“The negative outlook is driven by Cedacri's expected high leverage following the contemplated FRN issue. Despite a forecast solid trend in profitability, higher debt service costs will reflect in interest cover metrics not being aligned with a B rating over 2023-2024,” Fitch said in a press release.
