Corporate Entity Rating

PACRA’s entity rating is the opinion on the ability and/or willingness of an entity to meet its financial commitments. PACRA’s ratings for corporate entities are based on a mix of qualitative and quantitative factors, which are: Profile, Ownership, Governance, Management, Business Risk and Financial Risk. The relative impact of each on the overall credit risk assessment may vary case-to-case. While standalone credit quality is addressed, PACRA incorporates the relative positioning of an entity to arrive at the final rating. In certain cases, the final rating may be affected by the nature of the industry in which an entity operates. Inherently, risky industries may result in an absolute rating ceiling for all entities within that industry.
