S&P: Hospital Acquisition view to positive

Standard & Poor’s said it revised the outlook to positive from stable on Hospital Acquisition LLC, which does business as LCI Holding Co. LLC.

The agency also said it affirmed the company’s B- corporate credit rating.

The outlook revision is based on the company’s improved financial results and cash flow since its emergence from bankruptcy, S&P said.

The revised expectations now incorporate a belief that free cash flow could increase to $10 million, the agency said.

S&P said it also expects margins could increase at least 100 basis points, improving debt-to-EBITDA to the low-5x range from the current level near 6x.
