The ratings on Poland-based steel producer Zlomrex S.A. reflect Standard&Poor's Ratings Services' opinion that Zlomrex's distressed liquidity position, reflected by high short-term debt being revolved ad-hoc and very weak cash flow, may lead to a default in the next 12 months. The ratings also reflect Zlomrex's vulnerable business risk profile and highly leveraged financial risk profile. At this stage, we do not believe that the planned disposals of distribution operations will bolster Zlomrex's liquidity position because cash flow is likely to remain very weak, insufficient to cover interest expenses and mandatory capital expenditures (capex). In our view, default will be an immediate threat if the company fails to complete the disposals
Mi domando se questi luminari del credito hanno saputo della recente operazione di vendita di Cognor S.A.
un anno fa s&p gli dava pochi mesi di vita .e noi il primo febbraio ci prendiamo la cedola
Abstract: The ratings on Poland-based integrated steel group Zlomrex S.A. reflect Standard and Poor's Ratings Services' opinion that Zlomrex may not meet its near-term interest payments and other liquidity needs, leading to a possible default in the coming months. The ratings also reflect Zlomrex's distressed liquidity position, which exposes the company to ongoing high refinancing and default risks. Zlomrex's vulnerable business risk profile, and highly leveraged financial risk profile (illustrated by negative earnings in the past nine months, volatile working capital, and high short-term debt as a consequence of its past strategy of debt-financed growth), further constrain the ratings. The company's integrated steel operations provide limited benefits in view of the difficult industry conditions at present.
