Moody’s Rating Upgraded to “Caa2 from Caa3” with Stable Outlook
Technicolor (Euronext: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) welcomes its corporate rating upgrade by Moody’s to “Caa2” with stable outlook, and the rating of its new debt as “Caa1”.
This upgrade follows that of S&P to “CCC+” (corporate rating) and to “B” (new debt) and reflects the successful completion of the Group’s financial restructuring, through which it has obtained €420 million (net of fees) of new financing, and has deleveraged via the equitization of €660 million of debt.
As previously stated, Technicolor now has a significantly strengthened balance sheet, with cash to meet the needs of the Covid crisis and beyond.
Richard Moat, Chief Executive Officer of Technicolor, stated:
“Within a few days we have been upgraded by both S&P and Moody’s. We are very pleased by these improvements in our credit ratings which reflect the restoration of a sound financial structure for our company. Technicolor is poised to return to delivering profitable growth, cash generation and value creation for shareholders on a sustainable basis.”
