S&P has also affirmed the “BB-” long-term rating on the bonds.
“The negative outlook on Ryder reflects the tenuous financial situation in Puerto Rico overall and the uncertain future of government reimbursement for all Puerto Rico hospitals,” said S&P credit analyst Jennifer Soule.
The “BB-” rating affirmation is based on several factors, including Ryder’s thin balance sheet metrics, small revenue base and heavy reliance on government reimbursement.
