“The downgrade reflects persistently high operating losses, which exceed budgeted expectations and have in turn resulted in thin debt service coverage for the rating level,” said S&P analyst Cynthia Keller.

The outlook is stable, reflecting S&P’s view of HMH’s strong business position and solid balance sheet.
