Abstract:

The Ohio Supreme Court recently issued an opinion that reverses the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio's approval of Dayton Power&Light Co. 's (DP&L) non-bypassable service stability rider. We are placing our 'BB' corporate credit ratings on DP&L and parent DPL Inc. on CreditWatch with negative implications. We are also placing our 'BB' senior unsecured debt ratings at DPL Inc. and our 'BBB-' first mortgage bond rating on DP&L on CreditWatch with negative implications. We are revising DPL's recovery rating to '4' from '3', indicative of average recovery (30% to 50%), and mainly reflecting weaker valuation assumptions for merchant generation. The negative CreditWatch listing reflects the near-term possibility of a ratings downgrade following the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling. NEW
