S&P ups Duane Reade

Standard & Poor's said it raised the corporate credit rating on Duane Reade Inc. to CCC+ from CCC.

The outlook is developing.

According to S&P, the upgrade reflects the improved operating performance over the past two years.

Ratings reflect the company's very highly leveraged capital structure, extremely thin cash flow protection measures, weak financial flexibility because of continued net losses and narrow geographic focus, the agency said.

For the 12 months ended March 29, the total debt-to-EBITDA ratio fell to 10.1 times.
