Reliance Communications has informed that Fitch Ratings (Fitch), International rating agency, has revised Company’s Long-Term Foreign, Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings and Senior Secured Notes (Notes) ratings from BB- to B+. Fitch has also placed on Rating Watch Negative and assigned a Recovery Rating of RR4 to the Notes. Fitch has stated that the demerger of the wireless business and sale of the Infratel stake, if completed, will leave Company’s debt servicing dependent on cash flow from its business-to-business enterprise, optical fibre and pay-TV business. Fitch estimate that the Company’s pro forma (excluding GCX) net debt and EBITDA would be around $1.5bn-1.6bn and $240m-250m respectively in the financial year to end-March 2018 (FY18) after the wireless demerger and stake sale in Infratel. Fitch has also acknowledged that the Company could raise further capital to pay down holding Company debt through the sale of its pay-TV business, dilution of some of its stake in GCX and selling surplus real estate.
