S&P rates Trader Interactive, loan B

S&P said it gave Trader Interactive LLC and its planned $410 million term loan B ratings. The loan’s recovery rating is 3.

“Our rating on Trader Interactive reflects its participation in a highly fragmented and competitive business providing online customer lead generation for dealers with specialty vehicle end-markets, low take rate, limited pricing power, relatively small scale of operations, limited geographic diversity, exposure to cyclical vehicular sales and vehicular advertising and high pro forma S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of 7.2x in fiscal 2021,” S&P said in a press release.

The company plans to use the proceeds and cash on hand to repay debt, fund a $61 million dividend and pay related fees.

The outlook is stable, reflecting a forecast Trader Interactive will boost its revenue and EBITDA over the next 12 months.
