Rolls-Royce's, an engineering group, credit rating was downgraded to "BB+", a junk rating, from "BBB-" at Fitch, outlook "Negative". The rating agency said: "The downgrade reflects expectations of a materially greater free cash outflow for 2020 of around GBP4.1 billion. We therefore forecast gross debt to rise in 2020-2023, resulting in leverage metrics remaining outside of their sensitivities until at least 2022. All these result in a financial profile that is no longer representative of an investment-grade rating which, combined with a weakening business profile driven by an under-performing and structurally smaller civil aerospace division, have led to our assessment of a 'BB+' rating."
