  • U.K.-based tour operator Thomas Cook Group PLC's first quarter trading
    update (Feb. 7) reflects weak trading and low visibility of earnings and
    cash flows in the U.K. market. We have therefore revised down our
    earnings and cash flow growth forecasts, and now foresee slower
    deleveraging than we had previously anticipated.
  • Our revised forecasts also indicate reduced liquidity flexibility because
    of tightening headroom under the covenants of its £875 million revolving
    credit facility (RCF), which we estimate to be significantly drawn. Even
    though we believe the company has identified contingencies to remain
    covenant-compliant, we think it has diminishing flexibility to face any
    operational challenges or implement its business plan.
  • As a result, we are lowering our long-term issuer credit rating on Thomas
    Cook to 'B' from 'B+' and maintaining the negative outlook. We are
    lowering our issue rating on the senior unsecured notes to 'B' from 'B+',
    while our recovery rating on the debt remains at '3'.
  • The negative outlook indicates that we could lower the ratings if Thomas
    Cook is unable to restore its operating performance during 2019 such that
    earnings, cash flows, and credit ratios improve materially from current
    weak levels, or if its liquidity flexibility tightened further.
 
Azione Uniti a picco nel pre-market...
Certo, si aspettava una grossa caduta come conseguenza del laudo del giudice su Winstream. Preocupa che scatenasse un possibile ChXI della Winstream, con taglio ulteriore dei prezzi del master lease con UNITI, che alla fine porterebbe un sicuro taglio del generoso dividendo della UNITI. Ma il bond sarebbe un altra storia....
