S&P boosts Evonik Degussa

Standard & Poor's said it assigned BB+/B long- and short-term corporate credit ratings to Evonik Industries AG, the parent of chemical company Evonik Degussa GmbH, and raised to BB+ from BB the long-term corporate credit rating on Degussa.

The outlook is positive.

The agency assigned a BB+ rating to the notes issued by Evonik and raised the issue rating to BB+ from BB on the notes issued by Degussa. Both issues have a recovery rating of 4.

"The rating action reflects our expectation of record profits for the Evonik group in 2010 and a related substantial improvement in credit metrics," S&P analyst Karl Nietvelt said in a statement.
