Moody's cuts D.R. Horton

Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded D.R. Horton, Inc.'s corporate family and probability-of-default ratings to Ba3 from Ba2, senior unsecured notes rating to Ba3 (LGD4, 54%) from Ba2 (LGD4, 53%), senior subordinated notes rating to B2 (LGD6, 97%) from B1 (LGD6, 96%) and its speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-2.

The outlook remains negative.

The downgrades reflect expectation that Horton's future cash flow generation will decline from the currently robust levels and quarterly operating losses before impairments will continue in fiscal 2009, according to the agency.

Ratings acknowledge that Horton has the second-strongest cash flow generation in the industry and has been cash flow positive on a trailing 12-month basis for eight consecutive quarters, the agency said.
