generation when analyzing its profitability and financial
than that of most specialtychemicalcompanies” ○ The stable outlook reflects S&P‘s expectation that the company will report overall resilient performance and positive free operating cash flow generation, leading to adjustedFFO to debt of about 25% in the next three years.
■ Long-term rating: A3 ■ Short-term rating: P-2 ■ Outlook: Stable on June 18, 2018 ■ Rationale:
○ “As a result of the acquisition Air Liquide's business profile is now stronger and, with higher revenue and stable profitability, the company was free cash flow positive in
revenue and profits from long-term energy-indexed take-or- pay contracts, a well-balanced geographic diversification, and customers fromvarious uncorrelatedend markets.” ○ “Air Liquide managed to maintain its Moody's adjusted EBITDA margin at 26% in 2017, despite integrating less profitable Airgas and energy price headwinds, by realizing higher-thanexpectedsynergies andcosts savings.”
