"The action reflects the company's declining revenues and profitability levels, which have fallen significantly below earlier expectations," said Standard&Poor's credit analyst Bruce Hyman. The company reported negative EBITDA for the November 2007 and February 2008 quarters, in part because of a market shift towards its lower-priced products. Still, cash balances, $272 million at Feb. 28, 2008, remain adequate for near to intermediate term operations.

In July, we said the ratings were based on preliminary offering statements and would be subject to review upon receipt of final documentation. The revised credit facility consists of a $30 million, five-year revolving credit agreement and a $400 million, six-and-one-half-year term loan. The revolving credit component of the new facility replaces a $40 million revolver, while the term loan remains $400 million.
