S&P rates Cobra Equity B

S&P said it gave Cobra Equity Holdco LLC, the parent of Cobra AcquisitionCo LLC, a B rating. The outlook is negative.

“We revised our outlook on Cobra AcquisitionCo LLC to negative from stable and affirmed the B issuer credit rating. We affirmed our B- rating on the company's senior unsecured debt, issued by Cobra AcquisitionCo LLC,” the agency said in a press release.

S&P noted the increased leverage, as measured by debt to adjusted total equity, to 7.45x as of March 31 from 5.5x at Dec. 31. “The rise in leverage owed primarily to a $374.5 million distribution to owners (including financial sponsor Warburg Pincus), which reduced ATE to $888 million as of March 31, 2022, from $1.3 billion at year-end 2021.”

The negative outlook reflects the view that leverage could stay above 6.5x over the next 12 months, the agency said.
