S&P downgrades IPS

Standard & Poor's said it lowered the corporate credit rating on IPS Corp. to B- from B, along with the its senior secured bank facilities to B+ from BB-.

The recovery rating remains 1, indicating 90% to 100% expected recovery in a default.

The agency also said it lowered the ratings on the company's senior subordinated notes to CCC+ from B-.

The recovery rating remains 5, indicating 10% to 30% expected recovery in a default.

The outlook is negative.

The ratings were removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications in December 2011.

The downgrade reflects a view that IPS remains highly leveraged with significant maturities within the next few years, S&P said.
