Abstract:

We expect WKI Holding Co. Inc.'s covenant cushion to remain above 15% throughout the year as a result of profit growth in the Asia-Pacific region, distribution gains in North America, and better operating performance in its manufacturing facilities. We are affirming all ratings on WKI Holding Co. Inc., including our 'B' long-term corporate credit rating. The outlook is stable, reflecting our expectation that WKI Holding Co. Inc.

On June 23, 2015, Standard&Poor's Ratings services revised the outlook to stable from negative and affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating on Rosemount, Ill.-based
