S&P raises B&M
S&P said it upgraded the ratings for B&M European Value Retail SA and its £400 million of 3 5 8% notes due 2025 to BB from BB-.
“B&M reported a robust trading performance during the pandemic, supported by its value-oriented offering and product mix of grocery and general merchandise including gardening, home improvement, and DIY. Its revenues grew by more than 25% in FY2021,” S&P said in a press release.
The agency said it forecasts B&M's credit metrics will stay stronger than historically, with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA leverage sustainably below 3x, positive free operating cash flow after lease payments and moderate financial policy.
The outlook is stable.
