Vodafone Ukraine — S&P affirms at CCC+, outlook stable

S&P Global Ratings affirmed its rating on Vodafone Ukraine (VFU), Ukraine’s second largest mobile operator, at CCC+, with a stable outlook. S&P thus rated VFU one notch above the sovereign, arguing that the company passes a hypothetical sovereign default stress test, benefiting from sufficient cash reserves to service its debt obligations in the next 12 months. The stable rating outlook reflected S&P’s view that VFU will likely maintain its ability to exchange local currency for foreign currency and carry out cross-border debt service payments even if the sovereign were to restructure its F/X debt. S&P assessed VFU’s liquidity as adequate based on positive cash flow, a large share of F/X cash (55% USD and 12% EUR as of end-2022, or $183m total), and no debt maturities until 2025.
