xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Specialized technical expertise in the oil and gas processing, refinery, chemical/petrochemical, and power generation markets; Good geographic and customer diversity; and Favorable brand identity outside North America. Competition in highly cyclical end markets; Variability in cash flow generation; and Meaningful off-balance-sheet liabilities related to underfunded pension plans and asbestos-related litigation. The ratings on Foster Wheeler Ltd. reflect the company's intermediate financial risk profile, marked by its low debt balance and presently good, although subject to variation, cash flow generation. The company's financial obligations related to postretirement and asbestos liabilities are still present, although these have been reduced, as well. The rating also incorporates the inherent cyclicality of the engineering and construction (E&amp;C) services sector in which Foster Wheeler participates.

At the same time, we affirmed our 'BB' corporate credit rating on the company. Foster Wheeler, a Clinton, N.J.–headquartered provider of petrochemical and power-related engineering and construction services, reported total debt of approximately $150 million at Sept. 30, 2007. "The outlook revision reflects Foster Wheeler's sustained improvements in profitability and cash flow generation,," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst James T.
