S&P gives Rebecca Bidco, notes B

S&P said it assigned B ratings to Rebecca Bidco GmbH (RENK) and its €320 million of secured senior notes. The recovery rating on the notes is 3.

Private equity firm Triton acquired the company through €320 million of new senior secured notes, a €50 million super-senior to the notes revolving credit facility and a new €167.5 million super senior guarantee facility. The proceeds, together with a €241 million equity contribution by Triton, will be used to buy 76% of Rebecca Bidco (€520 million) and the related fees.

“RENK’s leverage will increase post-transaction. We forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA for 2020 will be about 4.7x. We include as debt a €40 million shareholder loan with a two-year maturity that we expect will be repaid in 2021. At the same time, we forecast funds from operations (FFO) to debt of about 11%-12%,” the agency said in a press release.

S&P assigned a stable outlook. “The stable outlook reflects our expectation that RENK will increase its revenue and gradually improve profitability, with adjusted EBITDA margins of 13% or more in 2020-2021, and adjusted debt to EBITDA of about 4.7x,” S&P said.
