Moody's affirms Hexion's ratings, changes outlook to stable
Global Credit Research - 03 Feb 2017
New York, February 03, 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Hexion Inc. (Caa2 Corporate Family Rating) and changed its outlook to stable following the successful refinancing of its 1.5 lien notes due 2018. Moody's also raised Hexion's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4 due to the expectation that the company would be able to maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12-18 months.
"We stabilized Hexion's outlook as it was able to eliminate its 2018 maturity without any reduction in liquidity," stated John Rogers, Senior Vice President at Moody's. "While free cash flow is expected to remain negative, we believe that Hexion will take the actions necessary to prevent any material reduction in liquidity over the next 18 months."
