Brief Excerpt:

...On 12 March 2024, we upgraded the corporate family rating (CFR) of Webpros Investments S.a.r.l. (WebPros or the company) to B1 from B2 to reflect the solid operating performance of the company over the past couple of years and our expected improvements to interest coverage, free cash flow and liquidity profile of the group following the refinancing of its debt. The rating action also reflected the company's prudent financial policy, demonstrated by the voluntary prepayments of the second lien term loan over the past three years and confirmed by the largely leverage neutral nature of the refinancing transaction. WebPros' B1 CFR further reflects: the company's strong market position as a global provider of web hosting automation software solutions; its long-standing relationships with hosting partners with limited churn rates, reflecting the low tendency of web hosting providers to change control panels; our expectation of further revenue and earnings growth, supported by recurring product...

Particle Investments S.a.r.l.: Update to credit analysis - Credit Opinion – 2023/07/19 – US$ 250.00 – ...Particle Investments S.a.r.l.'s (WebPros or the company) B2 corporate family rating (CFR) is supported by: 1) the company's strong market position as a provider of web hosting automation software; 2) its strong reputation and long-standing relationships with hosting partners with low churn rates, reflecting the low tendency of web hosting providers to change control panels; 3) our expectation of revenue and EBITDA growth, supported by recurring product repricing; and 4) the company's good liquidity profile, underpinned by solid free cash flow (FCF) generation and access to a fully undrawn $60 million revolving credit facility (RCF).
