The rating agency Euler Hermes positively comments on the restructuring prospects of recycling group for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal Scholz AG within the most recent report. The report, which has been published today, states that the restructuring concept which has been developed together with a renowned consulting firm shows a “conclusive and sustainably positive development perspective for Scholz AG”. Due to the “given economic feasibility”, Euler Hermes Rating assumes that “the financing partners will in principal support the proposed measures”.
Despite of the generally positive assessment of the ongoing restructuring, Euler Hermes – as announced in the press release dated 2nd of August - has downgraded the rating of Scholz AG from „BB-“ with stable outlook to „B“ with uncertain outlook. Reasons for the downgrade are the expected write-offs and liquidity needs in connection with the decision to stop the business relationship with the Australian corporation CMA. As announced on 2nd of August, Scholz AG will reduce the trading activities in the Asian/Australian area significantly. The rating outlook has been stated “uncertain” as the agreement with the financing parties is still pending.
The restructuring concept for Scholz Group is primarily focusing on the core business activities of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal recycling (Fe-/NE-Recycling) as well as on the value optimised divestments of non-core activities (such as aluminum production and the steel trading division). Associated with this are withdrawals from countries in which the business prospects are not promising enough as well as the consistent restructuring of loss making units in core regions.
On the financing side, the company currently is in constructive talks with its financing parties regarding the assistance of the restructuring. All measures target at a sustainably improving profitability and financial capacity of the group by focusing on the core business activities and the core regions, the reduction of costs and complexity as well as a lowering of financial expenses as a result of a significant debt reduction.
Scholz AG will report more details of the restructuring concept in due course. Currently, the main target is to reach an agreement with the financing parties.
