Turkish Glass Producer Sisecam Rating Lowered To 'B+' And Then Withdrawn At The Issuer's Request
- 21-Aug-2018 05:13 EDT
- We lowered our rating on Sisecam's parent and owner, Turkiye Is Bankasi
AS (Isbank) to 'B+' on Aug. 17, 2018. - Despite Sisecam's strong operating performance and credit metrics, our
rating on Sisecam continues to be capped by that on Isbank. - We are therefore lowering our long-term rating on Sisecam to 'B+' from
'BB-', and subsequently withdrawing the rating at the issuer's request. - The negative outlook at the time of withdrawal mirrored that on Isbank,
and we expect Sisecam will continue reporting very strong credit metrics
on a stand-alone basis.
