Fitch Affirms 1 bond rating, downgrades another
Fitch ratings affirmed “BBB” revenue bond rating on various series of bonds issued by the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, the Massachusetts Health & Educational Facilities Authority, and the New Hampshire Health & Education Facilities Authority on behalf of the obligated group of Covenant Health. Fitch also affirmed Covenant Health’s “BBB” issuer default rating. Key drivers include a stable payer mix of Medicaid and self-pay revenue, coupled with service area demographics that are stable for its market position.
Fitch downgraded the rating on $82.9 million in Series 2020A and 2020B bonds to be issued by the Town of Brookhaven Local Development Corporation on behalf of Jefferson’s Ferry, a life plan community in South Setauket, New York, to “BBB.”. The rating outlook is stable. The downgrade reflects project execution risks associated with Jefferson’s Ferry’s upcoming repositioning and expansion project which will add 60 independent living units, 20 memory care units and a new assisted living wing. To date, the operator has pre-sold 52% of its new independent living units, well below the 70% threshold Fitch typically sees, which increases the risk of the expansion.
