Credit rating rationale. The issue represents senior unsecured debt of SINARA TRANSPORTATION (hereinafter, ST, or the Company). Due to the absence of either structural or contractual subordination of the issue, ACRA regards it as equal to other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company in terms of priority. As per ACRA’s methodology, the Agency used the detailed approach to determine the credit rating of the issue. According to ACRA’s calculations, the recovery rate for senior unsecured debt is category 2, and therefore the credit rating of the issue is equal to the credit rating of the Company and is set at A(RU).

The credit rating of ST is based on the strong assessments of market position and business profile, as well as high profitability. The medium assessments of business size, geographic diversification, leverage, coverage, and FCF margin have a neutral impact on the rating.
