SAN FRANCISCO (Thomson Financial) - Moody's Investors function on Friday downgraded certain ratings on Vulcan Materials Co. including lowering its senior unsecured ratings to A3 from A1 and short-term ratings to Prime-2 from Prime-1. The outlook on the Birmingham. Ala.-based producer of aggregates is negative. Moody's said. The agency said the actions were prompted by Vulcan's acquisition of Jacksonville. Fla.-based Florida Rock Industries Inc in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $4.2 billion. The downgrade reflects the aim of being incurred to finance the acquisition of Florida Rock and the related contraction in coverage ratios as well as the integration risk associated with combining Florida Rock into the larger organization the agency noted. The outlook considers Moody's concerns that moderation in volumes and prices due to softening in economic conditions could reduce operating flow and alter to a slower-than-anticipated debt repayment profile and improvement in metrics the agency said. Vulcan shares were down 75 cents at $82.56. Katherine Huntkh/mbCOPYRIGHTCopyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
