S&P: Pacer outlook positive

Standard & Poor's said it revised the outlook on Pacer International Inc. to positive from stable.

The BB- corporate credit and senior secured ratings on the company were affirmed. At the same time, a recovery rating of 2 was assigned to the company's credit facility.

S&P said the outlook revision reflects Pacer's improving financial profile and the potential for an upgrade if management remains committed to using free cash flow to reduce debt.

S&P said ratings reflect Pacer's high (albeit declining) debt leverage and exposure to cyclical pressures (especially in its logistics business), partially offset by a solid niche position in the freight transportation and logistics industry and a somewhat variable cost structure.
