S&P downgrades Crossmark

S&P said it lowered the corporate credit rating on Crossmark Holdings Inc. to CCC from CCC+.

The agency also said it lowered the rating on Crossmark's secured first-lien debt to CCC from CCC+ and secured second-lien debt to CC from CCC-.

The 3 recovery rating on the first-lien debt indicates 50% to 70% expected default recovery.

The 6 recovery rating on the second-lien debt indicates 0 to 10% expected default recovery.

The outlook is negative.

The downgrades and negative outlook reflect the company's deteriorating liquidity and potential for a lower rating if a default or distressed exchange appears imminent, S&P said.

The company's operating performance has weakened considerably, free cash flow has turned negative and liquidity has declined over the last few quarters, the agency said.
