Standard and Poor’s Gives Oxnard Wastewater A Positive Outlook

Oxnard, California – Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global Ratings affirmed the City of Oxnard Financing Authority’s Wastewater Revenue Bonds rating of BBB and revised the financial outlook from negative to positive. The rating reflects the combination of a very strong enterprise risk profile and an adequate financial risk profile, according to S&P’s Global Ratings.

S&P Global Ratings also indicates that they “could take a positive ratings action — possibly multiple notches — if the city pursues its strategy to de-risk the wastewater system’s debt portfolio, or if the wastewater system is able to develop a track record of strong financial performance that we (S&P Global Ratings) believe is sustainable with no further interruptions to the normal rate-setting process.”

“This is great news for the residents of Oxnard,” said Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez. “It affirms that the City Council took the necessary steps to finance the many needed improvements. The financial markets are now responding positively to our action.”

Assistant City Manager Jesús Nava said: “An increase in our wastewater bond rating would be a great step forward after years of problems. It will show our residents and bondholders that we are correcting the situation, making improvements and investing in the future.”
The S&P anticipates stronger near-term performance, based on greater clarity on the potential outcome and impact of Measure M litigation and the city having completed the 2017 wastewater rate-setting process that established five consecutive years of City Council-approved rate increases.

“We anticipate that financial performance going forward will likely remain strong during the near term, but will likely be pressured beginning in the middle term,” the S&P stated. “The approved rate increases do not finance the significant capital needs just outside the five-year window, and increased leverage is likely to pressure financial performance as the city addresses regulatory requirements and deferred capital needs at the treatment plant.”

Standard and Poor’s da Las Aguas Residuales de Oxnard una Perspectiva Positiva

Oxnard, California – Los ratings globales de Standard & poor’s (S&P) afirmaron que la autoridad financiera de la ciudad de Oxnard tenía la calificación de bonos de impuestos de las aguas residuales de BBB y revisó las perspectivas financieras de negativo a positivo. La clasificación refleja la combinación de un perfil de riesgo empresarial muy fuerte y un perfil de riesgo financiero adecuado, según las calificaciones globales de S&P.

S&P global ratings también indica que “podrían tomar una acción de calificación positiva-posiblemente múltiples muescas-si la ciudad persigue su estrategia de desriesgo de la cartera de deudas del sistema de aguas residuales, o si el sistema de aguas residuales es capaz de desarrollar un historial de fuerte el desempeño financiero que nosotros (S&P Global Ratings) creemos que es sustentable sin más interrupciones al proceso normal de establecimiento de tasas. ”

“Esta es una gran noticia para los residentes de Oxnard”, dijo la alcaldesa Pro Tem Carmen Ramírez.” afirma que el Concejo Municipal tomó las medidas necesarias para financiar las muchas mejoras necesarias. Los mercados financieros están ahora respondiendo positivamente a nuestra acción”.

El asistente del Gerente de la ciudad, Jesús Nava, dijo: “un aumento en nuestra calificación de bonos de aguas residuales sería un gran paso adelante después de años de problemas. Mostrará a nuestros residentes y tenedores de bonos que estamos corrigiendo la situación, haciendo mejoras e invirtiendo en el futuro “.

El S&P anticipa un rendimiento más fuerte a corto plazo, basado en una mayor claridad sobre el resultado potencial y el impacto de la medida M litigios y la ciudad que completó el proceso de fijación de la tasa de aguas residuales 2017 que estableció cinco años consecutivos de aumentos de tasas aprobados por el Concejo Municipal.

“Anticipamos que el desempeño financiero en el futuro probablemente seguirá siendo fuerte durante el corto plazo, pero probablemente se presionará comenzando en el término medio”, dijo el S&P. “los aumentos de tasa aprobados no financian las necesidades significativas de capital justo fuera de la ventana de cinco años, y un mayor apalancamiento es probable que presione el desempeño financiero mientras la ciudad aborda los requerimientos reglamentarios y las necesidades de capital diferido en la planta de tratamiento “.
