Abstract:

Port Washington, N.Y.-based Medical Depot Holdings Inc. has underperformed our expectation due to continued margin pressure, operational challenges, and inefficiencies with its supply chain, logistics, and inventory management. The persistent cash flow deficits have led the company to draw on its revolver and monetize its accounts receivable. Adjusted leverage is now above 12x, and we expect liquidity rapidly tightening absent a near-term turnaround in performance. We are lowering our issuer credit rating on Medical Depot to 'CCC' from 'B-'. We are also lowering our issue-level rating on the company's revolver and first-lien term loan to 'CCC' from 'B-', and the issue-level rating on the second-lien debt to 'CC' from 'CCC'. The negative outlook reflects our base case for continued cash
