S&P shifts IGD Siiq view to stable

S&P said it changed IGD Siiq SpA’s outlook to stable from negative and affirmed the BB+ ratings on the issuer and its debt.

On Nov. 25, IGD closed the sale of a non-strategic portfolio of markets valued at €140 million.

“The stable outlook reflects our view that the successful disposal of non-strategic stand-alone hypermarkets and supermarkets should help IGD to maintain its debt-to-debt plus equity ratio at 45%-46% in the coming 12 months, while its cash flow generation should benefit from the progressive reopening of its shopping malls and translate into an EBITDA interest coverage of 3x-4x and debt to EBITDA of about 9x-10x,” S&P said in a press release.

Additionally, the agency noted the sale proceeds, IGD's cash balance of €53.9 million on Sept. 30, and its back up facilities of €60 million undrawn on the same date, could cover the upcoming maturities in 2022 of about €175 million.
