Ratings Outlooks
Fitch announces bond rating updates on 4 CCRCs
Fitch Ratings announced the following bond ratings updates:
- Fitch removed from “under criteria observation’ and affirmed the “BBB” ratings on $87 million in Series 2017 revenue refunding bonds issued by Montgomery County Higher Education and Health Authority on behalf of Philadelphia Presbytery Homes, Inc. (PPHI) obligated group (OG), doing business as HumanGood Pennsylvania (HGPA). Additionally, Fitch has assigned a “BBB” issuer default rating (IDR) to HGPA. The rating outlook remains negative, reflecting ongoing pandemic-related pressures on operating and financial profiles, which have experienced softening census and weaker net entrance fee receipts over the past 18 months. However, the rating affirmation rating reflects HGPA’s solid balance sheet with approximately 65% cash to adjusted debt in fiscal 2020, strong historical maximum annual debt service coverage levels that have averaged 1.9x over the past four fiscal years, and the ongoing Rydal Waters independent living unit expansion project, which is expected to significantly boost operations and coverage levels once completed.
- Fitch assigned an “A-” issuer default rating to HumanGood California Obligated Group (HGCOG), and affirmed the “A-” ratings on $142 million in Series 2019A revenue and refunding bonds issued by the California Municipal Finance Authority on behalf of HGCOG, as well as $23 million in Series 2019B HGCOG taxable bonds. Additionally, Fitch has affirmed the “A-” ratings on $43 million in Series 2013A and Series 2015 revenue bonds series issued by California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) on behalf of American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW), which is now known as HumanGood Norcal (NorCal). The rating outlook is stable, reflecting HGCOG’s diverse operating platform with 14 life plan communities in operation across the state of California, solid historical demand indicators, consistent operational performance, and improving financial profile. Despite pressures from the pandemic, HGCOG further improved its unrestricted reserves in fiscal 2020 while maintaining core operations consistent with historical levels.
- Fitch assigned an “AA” issuer default rating to Immanuel Obligated Group (Immanuel OG) and affirmed the “AA” rating on approximately $160 million of revenue bonds issued by Nebraska Educational, Health, Cultural, and Social Services Finance Authority on behalf of Immanuel. The rating outlook is stable, reflecting strong consolidated credit quality due to the resource base of Immanuel OG’s parent, Immanuel, which guarantees the bonds. The guarantee is supported by all resources available at the parent, and Immanuel has ample unrestricted liquidity relative to expenses and liabilities.
- Fitch assigned a “BB” issuer default rating to Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Obligated Group (HCK OG). Fitch also affirmed the “BB” ratings assigned to approximately $51 million of limited obligation revenue bonds issued by the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) of the City of Kalamazoo, Michigan on behalf of HCK OG. The rating outlook is stable, reflecting modest financial profile in the context of its midrange revenue defensibility and operating risk profile assessments. Cash-to-adjusted debt is sound for a below investment grade LPC, and Fitch expects the ratio to improve in the forward-looking scenario analysis, including over time in a stress case.
