FINANCIAL<br />

RATIO<br />

To be sure, David's Bridal said it voluntarily<br />

skipped the payment as it continues to<br />

negotiate a potential restructuring deal with<br />

its creditors. That means it has the financial<br />

wherewithal to make the payment.<br />

The company has a 30-day grace period to<br />

pay up, though S&P said it's "highly likely" that<br />

won't happen.<br />

"Our financial outlook is strong and we have<br />

ample liquidity to meet our key business<br />

objectives today and, in the future," David's<br />

Bridal said Thursday in a statement.<br />

"With the assistance of our financial and legal<br />

advisors, we are engaged in discussions with<br />

our lenders in order to reach a mutually<br />

agreed upon resolution designed to<br />

strengthen our balance sheet so we can<br />

increase our financial flexibility and further<br />

invest in our business."<br />

David’s Bridal still sells about one in three U.S.<br />

wedding dresses through its more than 300<br />

stores and website, with estimated annual<br />

retail revenue of $791 million, according to<br />

market research firm IBISWorld.<br />
