Reorg, the leading provider of global credit intelligence and data, has released its Q2 2024 U.S. Earnings Analytics Report of private and public sub-investment grade borrowers. The report found that the median U.S. company’s top-line growth continued to decelerate year over year, while EBITDA growth finally picked up after dropping for nine quarters in a row. Interest coverage also increased marginally quarter over quarter. The report is crafted by Reorg’s team of expert analysts using data from Fundamentals by Reorg™, a “full-universe” coverage, proprietary financial data platform with more than 10 years of historical data covering all U.S. and European high yield and leveraged loan issuers.

Highlights from the Q2 2024 U.S. Earnings Analytics Report:

  • Revenue: During the quarter, companies’ top-line growth continued to decelerate, with half of the industries also posting negative year-over-year changes.
  • EBITDA: Median company EBITDA growth was 4.5%, up over the first quarter and breaking an EBITDA growth tightening trend that started in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Resilience in the face of inflation: The median company continued to offset the effect of inflation by marginally improving the gap between inflation and EBITDA year-over-year growth.
  • Sector winners and losers: Financial companies continued to lead top-line growth among the sectors, while commodity-exposed industries, such as energy and materials, experienced negative growth.
  • Interest coverage trend of declines reversed after eight quarters, ticking up quarter over quarter by 0.2 times.
