MIE Holdings "CCC-" rating affirmed; outlook negative - S&P
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'CCC-' long-term corporate credit rating on China-based oil and gas producer, MIE Holdings Corp. (MIE)(01555). The outlook is negative. At the same time, the credit rating agency lowered its long-term issue rating on the company's senior unsecured notes due 2019 to 'CC' from 'CCC-'. S&P affirmed the rating on MIE to reflect its view of the company's high non-repayment risk in the next six to 12 months. MIE's liquidity is weak and the agency believes the company is highly dependent on favorable business and financial conditions to meet its principal and interest obligations. S&P believes MIE's capital structure remains unsustainable despite the company's repayment of its US$181 million notes due in February 2018. MIE's ability to service interest payments in the next six to 12 months is highly vulnerable owing to volatility in oil prices, the agency said. S&P believes the company's average borrowing cost has materially increased after its debt-financed acquisition of CQ Energy Canada Partnership in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the repayment of the 2018 notes. It expects MIE to continue to face a material liquidity deficit over the next six to 12 months. The company's ability to generate operating cash flow has improved following the CQ Energy acquisition. However, S&P expects its free cash on hand and free cash flows from its two key assets - Daan oilfield and CQ Energy - to be insufficient to cover interest and principal payments due in the period.
