“The ‘A-‘ rating and outlook on Norton further reflect our assessment of its improved operating income in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016 year to date; improved operational liquidity, with improvement to unrestricted reserves and days’ cash on hand; and solid and growing market share within the primary service area despite the competitive nature of the market,” said S&P Global Ratings analyst Kevin Holloran.

The system’s outlook is positive.
