Fitch Upgrades Nexi to 'BB-'; Rates Senior Secured Debt 'BB'
21 JUN 2019 10:22 AM ET



Fitch Ratings - Milan - 21 June 2019:

Fitch Ratings has upgraded Nexi SpA's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB-' from 'B+' and removed it from Rating Watch Positive. The Outlook is Positive

Nexi is a key player in the Italian credit card and digital payments value chain, providing mainly card issuance and merchant-acquiring solutions, alongside digital payment services.

The upgrade follows Nexi's listing on the Italian Stock Exchange completed in April 2019 and the company's ensuing material gross leverage reduction. Following IPO, Nexi allocated around EUR700 million of proceeds from the IPO and part of the cash on its balance sheet to reduce outstanding debt. Nexi also finalised new debt facilities that partially refinanced its previously outstanding senior secured notes with lower interest costs. In addition the upgrade reflects increased margins following progress on the realisation of the company's synergy and cost-saving initiatives announced in 2018.

The Positive Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation of a stabilisation of Nexi's financial policy over the next four-to six-quarters, including a wind down of the M&A activity started in 2016.

Avon International Capital PLC's $350 Million Senior Secured Notes Rated 'BB-' (Recovery: '1') On CreditWatch Developing

NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) June 21, 2019--S&P Global Ratings today assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '1' recovery rating to Avon International Capital PLC's proposed $350 million senior secured notes due 2022 and placed the issue-level rating on CreditWatch with developing implications. The '1' recovery rating indicates our expectation for very high (90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment default. We expect that the company will use the proceeds from these notes to purchase and redeem its outstanding 4.6% senior notes due March 2020 through a tender offer. The notes are secured obligations that rank pari passu with Avon International Capital PLC's €200 million revolving credit facility due 2022 and Avon International Operations Inc.'s $500 million senior secured notes due August 2022. In addition to the these debt instruments, Avon's capital structure also includes two tranches of unsecured notes due in 2023 and 2043.

At the same time, we revised our CreditWatch on all of the company's existing debt tranches to developing from positive because of the uncertain guarantee structure following the merger between Avon Products Inc. and Natura Cosmeticos S.A. It is our understanding that Natura will not guarantee any of Avon's debt obligations prior to closure of the merger. However, we are uncertain about the post-merger capital structure of the combined company, and whether Avon would provide any upstream guarantees to Natura which could negatively affect our issue-level and recovery ratings on its outstanding debt.

All of our other ratings on Avon remain unchanged. Our 'B' issuer credit rating on Avon remains on CreditWatch, where we placed it with positive implications on March 25, 2019, following the company's announcement that it was in discussions with Natura for a possible merger. We could either raise or affirm our ratings on Avon after we complete our review. The outcome will likely depend on our post-transaction issuer credit rating on Natura and the level of support that it will provide to Avon. We will resolve the CreditWatch placements on our issuer credit rating and issue-level ratings when the merger has been completed.
