Rating Action: Moody's upgrades Egypt's ratings to B2, stable outlook
17 Apr 2019
New York, April 17, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today upgraded the long-term foreign and local currency issuer ratings of the Government of Egypt to B2 from B3. The outlook was changed to stable from positive.

The decision to upgrade the rating primarily reflects :

i) Moody's expectation that ongoing fiscal and economic reforms will support a gradual but steady improvement in Egypt's fiscal metrics and raise real GDP growth.

ii) Moody's increasing confidence that factors such as Egypt's large domestic funding base support its resilience to refinancing shocks notwithstanding the government's very high borrowing needs and interest costs.

The stable outlook balances the downside risks posed by very weak debt affordability and large financing needs alongside the longer-term challenges to a shift to a more inclusive, private sector-led growth model, against the possibility that strong reform commitment could deliver higher growth and lower borrowing needs and shore up resilience to changing financing conditions to a greater extent than currently assumed.

At the same time, Moody's has upgraded Egypt's foreign currency senior unsecured ratings to B2 from B3, and its foreign currency senior unsecured MTN program rating to (P)B2 from (P)B3.

Moody's has also changed Egypt's foreign-currency bond ceiling to B1 from B2, the foreign-currency deposit ceiling to B3 from Caa1, and the local-currency bond and deposit ceilings to Ba1 from Ba2. The short-term country ceilings for foreign-currency bonds and deposits remain unchanged at Not Prime (NP).

Rating Action:
Moody's assigns Caa1 ratings to Altice Luxembourg's new notes; outlook negative

02 May 2019
Madrid, May 02, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service, ("Moody's") has today assigned Caa1 ratings to the proposed EUR2,800 million Senior Notes due 2027 to be issued by Altice Luxembourg S.A. ("Altice Luxembourg" or the group). The outlook is negative.



Proceeds from this debt issuance will be used to redeem EUR3,600 million equivalent of its existing USD2,900 million and EUR2,075 million senior notes due in 2022. Concurrently, Altice will also use EUR1,500 million of available cash resources at Altice France S.A. ("Altice France", B2 negative) for debt reduction: up to EUR1,000 million to partially redeem its EUR1,250 million and USD1,375 million Altice France senior secured notes due 2024 on a pro rata basis, with an additional EUR500 million to be used for debt reduction at Altice Luxembourg level. Following the refinancing, there will be EUR1 billion outstanding senior notes due in 2022 at Altice Luxembourg level.



"The refinancing is credit positive as it will improve the group's liquidity by extending the debt maturity profile with a weighted average maturity of 7 years and no major maturities due before 2023, at the consolidated restricted group level. However, the ratings and outlook of Altice and its credit pools are unaffected given the group's operating challenges in its key telecom markets, its high leverage and its complex financial structure," says Laura Perez, a Moody's VP-Senior Credit Officer and lead analyst for Altice.

  • Tour operators in Europe, and particularly in the U.K., face softer trading conditions than previously expected.
  • We expect this to weaken Thomas Cook Group PLC's cash flow generation and lead to mounting liquidity pressures.
  • We are lowering to 'B-' from 'B' our long-term issuer credit and issue-level ratings on Thomas Cook and placing all the ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications.
  • The CreditWatch placement reflects the possibility of a further downgrade if Thomas Cook is unable to bolster its liquidity, which we think requires it to secure external sources of funding and long-term covenant relief.
