“We revised the outlook to negative due to a deterioration in financial performance in fiscal 2015 — based on unaudited numbers — and uncertainty about recovery in fiscal 2016,” said S&P analyst Jennifer Soule.

If Clarendon achieves its financial performance target for fiscal 2016, S&P would consider returning its outlook to stable.
