S&P raises Premier Foods rating

S&P said it upgraded Premier Foods plc’s issuer rating to B+ from B.

“Premier Foods has taken concrete actions to reduce existing debt and limit future volatility in credit metrics,” S&P said in a press release.

The company reported it is paying down £120 million on its £210 million floating-rate notes due 2022 in two tranches. It paid £80 million in June and will pay £40 million in December with cash from its balance sheet, S&P said.

Though the company benefits from consumers eschewing eating out during the pandemic, Brexit may cause disruptions next year, S&P warned.

The outlook is positive.
