Arcos Dorados (NYSE: ARCO) obtained an initial long-term issuer rating of “BBB-” with a Stable Outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The agency cited the Company’s:
- Leading QSR market share in Latin America and exclusive McDonald’s Master Franchise Agreement, recently renewed through 2044 with a 20-year option.
- Conservative leverage, with S&P-adjusted debt/EBITDA ≈ 2.0x and FFO/debt ≈ 35%.
- Sound liquidity, no near-term maturities and committed credit facilities.
- Geographic diversification and ability to endure a potential Brazilian sovereign stress scenario.
This is Arcos Dorados’ second investment-grade rating, following Fitch’s upgrade to “BBB-” in January 2025, giving the Company full investment-grade status. Both agencies emphasized prudent financial policy, strong operating performance and a comfortable debt schedule. Management views the dual ratings as validation of its disciplined capital structure and long-term strategy.
