Abstract:

U.S.-based marketing services provider Red Ventures Holdco L.P.'s leverage and cash flow measures have significantly improved with the successful integration of Bankrate Inc. (acquired in November 2017). We are raising our issuer credit rating to 'BB-' from 'B+' based on our expectation that leverage will decline below 4x in 2019 due to continued growth in profitability and cash flow. We are also raising our issue-level rating on Red Ventures' senior secured credit facility to 'BB-' from 'B+'. The stable outlook reflects our expectation that, barring additional acquisitions, adjusted leverage will improve to the low-3x area in 2019 from 4.1x as of Dec. 31, 2018 (pro forma for recent acquisitions). The upgrade reflects Red Ventures' meaningfully improved leverage and cash flow
