S&P affirms TransUnion

S&P Global Ratings affirmed its corporate credit rating of BB+ on TransUnion with a stable outlook.

The affirmation reflects S&P's expectation that the company's leverage will decline significantly over the next 12 to 24 months, following the temporary increase resulting from debt-financed acquisitions. The rating agency expects TransUnion to post continued strong operating performance, gain synergies from recent acquisitions, and expand EBITDA margins.

S&P's ratings action comes as TransUnion amended a debt commitment letter to provide for up to $1.8 billion of term loan facilities. The company will borrow up to $400.0 million in connection with the acquisition of iovation Inc. under a senior secured term B loan facility. In connection with the acquisition of Crown Acquisition Topco Ltd., TransUnion will borrow up to $400.0 million under a senior secured term A loan facility and up to $1 billion under a senior secured term B loan facility, the company disclosed in a filing.
