DALLAS (S&P Global Ratings) Dec. 26, 2018--S&P Global Ratings has revised its outlook to stable from positive on Harlingen, Texas' general obligation (GO) debt. At the same time, we affirmed the 'AA-' long-term rating and underlying rating (SPUR) on the debt. "The outlook revision reflects general stability in Harlingen's economic metrics that remain in line with those of its peers at the 'AA-' level," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Daniel Golliday. Despite minor improvement in the city's market value per capita, our view of the economy remains weak because of the relatively low incomes levels and above-average unemployment rate compared to higher-rated peers. We expect the city's tax base will continue to grow, but anticipate no material changes to the city's key economic credit fundamentals over the next two years. The 'AA-' GO rating reflects the city's good management practices that have hist

We expect Enjoy's cash flows to increase over the next few years thanks to its focus on revenue growth and operating efficiency, after somewhat weaker-than-expected 2018 results. We also expect Chile-based gaming company to maintain active debt refinancing, but liquidity should remain limited due to considerable capital expenditures (capex). SAO PAULO (S&P Global Ratings) Dec. 26, 2018--S&P Global Ratings affirmed our 'B' issuer credit and debt ratings on Enjoy. The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Enjoy's increasing cash flows will lead to debt to EBITDA of 3.5x-4.5x, funds from operations (FFO) to debt of 12%-16%, and EBITDA interest coverage of 2x-3x in the next few years. The affirmation reflects our expectation of higher cash flows starting in 2019, compensating for the relatively weaker-than-expected 2018 results due to weak Uruguayan operations and one-time higher expenses related to the consultant firm Enjoy hired. The compa

SAN FRANCISCO (S&P Global Ratings) Dec. 26, 2018-- S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating to 'BB' from 'BBB+' on the Government of Guam's (GovGuam) series 2016A limited obligation (Section 30) bonds upon the implementation of our recently released priority-lien tax revenue debt criteria. The outlook on the series 2016A bonds is stable. The downgrade follows the application of our Priority-Lien Tax Revenue Debt criteria published Oct. 22, 2018, which factors in both the strength and stability of the pledged revenues, as well as the general creditworthiness of the territory as issuing obligor. The priority-lien rating on the bonds is limited to one-notch above our view of the Government of Guam's creditworthiness (general obligation rating [GO]: BB-/Stable) and is constrained from going higher unless there is an improvement in the government's GO rating. In our view, the bonds do not benefit from limited scope of operations or ext
Government of Guam Hotel Occupancy Tax Bond Rating Lowered To 'BB' From 'A-' On Criteria Application
CHICAGO (S&P Global Ratings) Dec. 26, 2018--S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating to 'BB' from 'A-' on the Government of Guam's (GovGuam) series 2011A hotel occupancy tax (HOT) revenue bonds upon the implementation of our priority-lien tax revenue debt criteria, published Oct. 22, 2018. The outlook is stable. "The rating action reflects our view of the territory's general creditworthiness, which, under the new criteria, limits the final ratings on priority-lien tax revenue debt," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Timothy Little. The priority lien rating on the bonds is limited to one notch above our view of GovGuam's creditworthiness (BB-/Stable general obligation rating, or GO, rating) and is constrained from going higher unless there is an improvement in the government GO rating. In our view, the bonds do not benefit from limited scope of operations or extraordinary expenditure flexibility of the obligated
