S&P Global Ratings affirmed its B+ issuer credit rating on World Acceptance Corp.
The outlook remains negative, reflecting the company's near-term refinancing risk and regulatory risks attached to the investigation into potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
S&P said the rating recognizes the company's exposure to regulatory and operational risks along with its concentrated funding.
S&P Global Ratings and S&P Global Market Intelligence are owned by S&P Global Inc.
