Non te la prendere!!! Tempo fa anche io ho postato di questa, in buona fede. In questo caso ho letto l'articolo dove si parlava di cedole non pagate. Fortunatamente la nostra, per il momento, paga.

Rating Action:
Moody's downgrades Grupo Aldesa to Caa1; stable outlook
25 Sep 2019
Frankfurt am Main, September 25, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today downgraded to Caa1 from B3 the corporate family rating (CFR) and to Caa1-PD from B3-PD the probability of default rating (PDR) of Spanish construction company Grupo Aldesa S.A. ("Aldesa" or "group"). Concurrently, Moody's downgraded to Caa1 from B3 the instrument rating on the EUR250 million senior secured notes due April 2021, issued by Aldesa Financial Services S.A. The outlook on both entities remains stable.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The downgrade follows Aldesa's weak results for the second fiscal quarter ended 30 June 2019 (Q2-19), and the group's downward revised 2019 full year net sales and profit guidance. The Caa1 ratings also reflect Moody's view of Aldesa facing increased risk regarding the refinancing of its EUR250 million senior secured notes due April 2021, while it is currently in refinancing negotiations, including with some private lenders. While a regular refinancing could support positive pressure over the medium term, provided that operating performance and cash flow generation is improving, a potential refinancing of the bond below par, resulting in a loss for bondholders, would likely constitute a distressed exchange (DE) and qualify as a default under Moody's definition, driving further negative rating pressure
In Q2-19, Aldesa's net sales in the restricted group decreased by 24% year-over-year (yoy) to EUR182 million from EUR240 million in the prior year, while its restricted EBITDA declined to EUR6.9 million (-22% yoy). Main driver for this was an ongoing difficult environment in the Spanish and Mexican civil works sectors. Investment activity in these markets continued to be muted in light of the unstable political environment in Spain and constrained decision making in the Mexican public works sector, which has led to a delay in several projects. At the same time, higher activity in the Spanish residential sector, where margins are typically weaker, has prompted a material deterioration in profitability, as shown by a meager 1.3% (restricted) EBITDA margin in Spain during the first half of 2019 (H1-19), down from 3.4% last year. Considering the ongoing sluggish sentiment in Spain and Mexico, which the group expects to improve from 2020, it has revised downward its 2019 full year net sales guidance to around EUR900 million from over EUR1 billion, and its EBITDA guidance for the restricted group to EUR50-52 million from previously EUR58 million. Depending on the magnitude of expected working capital releases in the seasonally stronger second half of the year, the group also increased its restricted group net leverage guidance to 1.9x-2.4x from 1.7x-2.2x. This is after Aldesa's reported restricted free cash flow weakened to EUR130 million negative in H1-19, compared with EUR93 million during the same period of the prior year on account of higher working capital consumption due to certain milestone energy projects.
LIQUIDITY
Aldesa's liquidity remains adequate with EUR88 million of cash on the balance sheet as of 30 June 2019, although Moody's forecasts negative free cash flow generation in the restricted group over the next 12-18 months. There are no major debt maturities before January 2021 when the EUR100 million revolving credit facility (EUR65 million drawn at the end of June 2019) will mature, which the group has just been able to extend in September 2019. Liquidity is also supported by sufficient headroom under the group's financial leverage covenant (<3.75 restricted group net debt/EBITDA), which needs to be tested at each year-end.
Nevertheless, liquidity remains constrained by the risk of a potential non-extension of Aldesa's various reverse factoring (confirming) lines, provided and usually renewed by a pool of Spanish and Mexican banks, under which EUR127 million were utilized as of 30 June 2019. Moody's recognizes that the group was able to renew its main Spanish framework agreement recently. Any termination of such lines, however, which Moody's considers unlikely in the short-term, would cause immediate pressure on Aldesa's liquidity.
RATING OUTLOOK
The stable outlook reflects Aldesa's still sufficient liquidity, assuming continued access to confirming lines and only slightly negative free cash flow over the next 12-18 months. The outlook also recognizes Moody's expectation that Aldesa will be able to successfully refinance its outstanding bond over the next few quarters, without resulting in a significant loss for bondholders.
WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING DOWN / UP
Downward pressure on the ratings would build, if Aldesa's liquidity were to deteriorate beyond our expectations during 2020, driven either by a more sizeable cash burn or unexpected termination of its confirming lines. Also, any refinancing of the 2021 bond, resulting in a severe loss for bondholders could prompt a downgrade.
The ratings could be upgraded, if Aldesa was able to successfully refinance its 2021 bond, while maintaining an adequate liquidity profile with at least break-even free cash flow generation in the restricted group.
