The rating downgrade is based on a number of factors, including a decline in EMHS’ operating cash flow margins.

The outlook is negative, reflecting the challenges EMHS will likely face in improving its margins.

Moody’s has also assigned a “Baa3” rating to EMHS’ proposed $162 million of series 2016A bonds and $80 million of series 2016B bonds.
