Credit rating rationale. The issue represents senior unsecured debt of Glorax LLC (hereinafter, 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. In accordance with ACRA’s methodology, the recovery rate for unsecured debt is determined as category II, and therefore the credit rating of the issue is equal to the Company’s credit rating, i.e. BBB-(RU).
The Company’s credit rating is based on the medium operational risk profile, medium assessments of profitability and leverage, and high debt service and liquidity metrics. The Company’s rating is constrained by very high industry risk and a below-medium assessment of business size.
