Abstract:

U.S. Internet video subscription provider Netflix now expects to have a net loss in 2012 due to new international services in the U.K. and Ireland. We are lowering our corporate credit rating on the company to 'BB-' from 'BB' with a stable outlook. Netflix's domestic net subscriber trends remain soft. The stable outlook is based on our expectation of subscriber growth in 2012. On Nov. 28, 2011, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix Inc. to 'BB-' from 'BB'. The rating outlook is stable. At the same time, we lowered our issue-level rating on the company's debt by one notch in conjunction with the downgrade. The recovery rating on the debt issue remains unchanged.
