At the same time, the corporate credit rating was affirmed at 'B+'. "The outlook revision primarily reflects the company's ongoing growth initiatives, executed through frequent acquisitions, and corresponding sustained debt leverage exceeding the 4.5x-area," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Clay Ching. "Despite Nuance's history of successfully integrating acquired companies, we no longer expect the company to delever below the 4.0x level over the next year, which would have been supportive of a higher rating." Nuance's adjusted EBITDA margins are solid, nearing the low-30% area.
