Credit rating agencies are expected to become more important in the wake of various services/activities being undertaken by various credit rating agencies, along with the rating services that provide information and guidance to institutional and individual investors/creditors. These agencies enhance the ability of borrowers/issuers to access the money market and the capital market for lapping a large volume of resources from a wider range of the investing public. These services provided by the credit rating agencies also assist the regulators in promoting transparency in the financial markets. A comparative view of the activities undertaken by all these agencies is presented in Table
9 Table 5.1 Activities Undertaken Activities CRISIL ICRA CARE FITCH Rating & Grading Information Advisory Services Research Services Business Process Outsourcing Information Technology Services Rating and Grading Services Credit rating is the symbolic indicator of the relative capability of the corporate entity to timely service its debt obligations, whereas grading is done to assess the quality of performance of that particular entity. Ratings may be changed, qualified, placed on rating watch or withdrawn as a result of changes in, additions to, accuracy of, unavailability of or inadequacy of information or for any related reason. Different types of rating and grading services provided by all rating agencies are shown in Table 5.1a: It is evident from the table that all the agencies rate long/ medium-term debt instruments, short-term debts, claims paying ability of insurance companies, corporate governance and structured finance/ structured obligation of various companies. The rating of various types of long-term, medium-term as well as short-term instruments depicts the rating agencies views regarding the ability of the issuer of a particular debt instrument to repay the debt and pay the interest in a timely manner. Claims paying ability ratings (CPRs) for insurance companies are credit rating agencies opinion on the ability of the insurers concerned to honour policyholder claims and obligations on time. In other words, a CPR is credit rating agencies opinion on the financial strength of the insurer, from a policyholder s perspective. On the other hand, corporate governance rating (CGR) is meant to indicate the relative level to which an organization accepts and follows the codes and guidelines of corporate governance 104
10 practices prevalent in the organization. As the corporate governance practices reflect the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the organization such as the Board, management, shareholders and other financial stakeholders, and the rules and procedures laid down and followed for making decisions on corporate affairs. Moreover, rating of structured finance obligations is the opinion of credit rating agencies as an obligator s capacity and willingness to make timely payment, of financial obligations, on the rated instrument. Table 5.1a Rating and Grading Services Rating/Grading CRISIL ICRA CARE FITCH Rating of long /medium-term debt instrument Rating of short-term debt instrument Claims paying ability of insurance company Corporate Governance rating Structured Finance/ Obligation rating Grading of Mutual Funds/Bond Funds Grading of real estate/ Project finance rating SSI/ SME rating Issuer credit rating IPO Grading Loan/ Bank Loan rating Assessment of State Governments/ Rating of Urban Local Bodies Micro Finance Institution(MFI) Grading Grading of Maritime Training Course Grading of Healthcare Institutions Rating of Subsidiaries & Joint Ventures of MNCs in India Further, all the agencies are involved in Grading of mutual funds/bond funds, real estate or project finance gradings, SSI/ SME rating and issuer credit rating. Mutual fund grading scale is used to 105
11 rate the underlying credit risk of debt funds portfolio or risk associated with investing in individual mutual fund schemes. The Mutual fund/ Debt Fund rating signifies the likelihood of schemes to achieve the objectives and meet the obligations to investors. Grading of real estate developers and projects provides an independent opinion on the relative performance capability of real estate development entities. For the investor (buyer of property), the gradings communicate the risks associated with the developer s ability to deliver in accordance with the terms, quality parameters, and time stipulated. For developers, the gradings provide a scientific assessment of their abilities and risk profiles, serve to assist them in presenting their case to lenders. SSI/ SME rating signifies the prospect of SSI/ SME of timely servicing of interest and principle as per terms. Issuer Ratings, on the other hand, provide an opinion on the general creditworthiness of the rated entities and not specific to a particular debt instrument. All agencies are also involved in IPO Grading and Bank loan rating. IPO Grade represents a relative assessment of the fundamentals of the issue graded in relation to the universe of other listed equity securities in India. The bank loan ratings provide a uniform benchmark for credit and pricing decisions in the bank loan market, offering comments on the likelihood of repayment of loans to banks. The rating agencies focus both on the risk of default, and the likelihood of ultimate recovery in the event of default. The grading of microfinance institutions as well as the assessment of State Governments and rating of Urban Local Bodies is being done by all the agencies. MFI Grading is a symbolic indicator of credit rating agency s current opinion on the relative capability of the Microfinance Institution (MFI) concerned to manage its microfinance activities in a sustainable manner. The rating of State Governments and Urban Local Bodies include the ratings of those borrowings which 106
12 are guaranteed by such bodies including those of State Electricity Boards, Irrigation Corporations, Road Development Corporation, etc. With the passage of time CRISIL, ICRA and CARE have started grading of maritime training institutions/courses. Grading of maritime training institutions/courses depicts the level of consistency of institution s resources and processes with those required for delivering the best quality of maritime education and training. The grading of healthcare institutions is done by CRISIL and ICRA only. Healthcare Grading presents an independent opinion on the quality of care provided by healthcare entities to their patients. CRISIL has also pioneered the rating of subsidiaries and joint ventures of multinationals in India and has rated several multinational entities Information and Advisory Services The information and advisory services are the next very important activity being undertaken by rating agencies, which include information services, advisory services, project and infrastructure advisory services, investment and risk management advisory, Financial Restructuring advisory, etc. as highlighted in Table 5.1b. A glance at the table provides that all the agencies provide advisory services and such services are usually undertaken by the agencies through their advisory arms. Further, all the agencies are engaged in the information services which primarily focus on addressing the unique information needs of investors and the capital market community. Information services promote the efficiency in business and financial markets by providing proper information to the users as and when required. The Project/ Infrastructure advisory services are undertaken by three agencies except FITCH. These agencies evaluate the credit risks of the projects in areas such as roads, ports, power and telecom to advise investors and banks about the regulatory framework, the specific project risks and the ways of risk mitigation. Investment and risk management advisory services are undertaken by 107
13 CRISIL and ICRA in which risk management advice is offered on the efficient management of risk to banks and other lenders. Services relating to financial restructuring advice are provided by ICRA and CARE under which these agencies give advice to various companies about the optimal capital structure and the financial restructuring options. CARE is the only agency to perform credit appraisal services which help banks and other non-banking finance companies to set up or modify their credit appraisal systems. Table 5.1b Information and Advisory Services Services CRISIL ICRA CARE FITCH Information Services Advisory Services Project/ Infrastructure Advisory Investment & Risk Management Advisory Financial Restructuring Advice Credit Appraisal System Research Activities Some Indian credit rating agencies have set up research arms to complement their rating activities. These arms carry out research on the economy, industries and specific companies, and make the same available to external subscribers for a fee. Research being done by various agencies present an in-depth analysis into the matter being researched and helps various users to properly make use of that information in future planning or some policy formulation. In addition, they disseminate opinions on the performance of the economy or specific industries. The research is also used internally by the rating agencies for arriving at their rating opinions. The research related activities done by various agencies are highlighted in Table 5.1c. All the agencies are engaged in industry/sector and corporate analysis. Under industry/sector analysis an in-depth study of the competitive scenario, the 108
14 imperatives of succeeding in a global market and the relative position of industry participants is undertaken. Under the corporate analysis various reports about Indian corporates are provided, by the rating agencies, with regular updates to cover the implications of changes in business and economic conditions on corporate. Thus, this corporate analysis facilitates investment decisions of large investors and meets the informational requirements of others. Customised research is done by CRISIL, ICRA and CARE.

21 Table 5.2c highlights that during the time period among all the instruments rated by ICRA, per cent were of long-term duration; per cent of them were of short-term duration; per cent instruments were of medium-term duration; and per cent of rated instruments fall in others category. Moreover, in the case of long-term instruments rated by ICRA, the average number of debentures and bonds (70) is the highest followed by loan as well as Bank loan ratings (53) and preference shares (42). This trend has been observed during the whole period of study. CV value further clarifies that there is more variation in the rating of preference shares during the given period. In the case of mediumterm instruments rated by ICRA the average number of fixed deposits being rated, i.e., 25 is almost double the number of certificates of deposit, i.e., 12. However, in the case of short-term instruments also the average number of commercial papers rated is more than double the number of short-term loans rated. Among all the instruments being rated over the period, the highest variation has been found in the rating of certificates of deposit as depicted by their CV value.

22 Table 5.2d carries the data showing the number of issuers rated by ICRA during the period On an average 39 issuers falling in corporate sector have been rated by ICRA during the given period, followed by 26 financial institutions and banks, 25 issuers falling in others category, whereas the average number of finance companies and nigams/corporations rated by ICRA during the period are 22 each. The CV value being the highest for issuers falling in others category clarifies that there is more variability in rating of these types of issuers during the study period. Table 5.2e exhibits the number of instruments rated by CARE. The table explains that in the case of CARE, per cent of the total rated instruments were of long-term duration, per cent of them were of short-term duration, 8.89 per cent instruments were of medium-term duration and per cent of them fall in others' category. Further, among the long-term instruments the average number of debentures and bonds is higher, followed by loan & bank loan rating and preference shares. Whereas among the medium-term instruments rated almost equal number of Fixed Deposits and Certificates of Deposit were rated during the period but yearwise variation in rating of Certificates of Deposit is more as is clear from their CV value. As far as short-term instruments are concerned, the average number of commercial papers rated (56) during the given period are more than the short-term loans (32). A good number of other instruments including mutual funds and IPOs are also rated by CARE during the given period. 117

27 5.7 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED Rating methodology is concerned with the use and appreciation of the tools in rating process. Both qualitative as well as quantitative factors are considered by the agencies before assigning any rating. Table 5.3 highlights that almost similar basic parameters of rating methodology are being used by all the rating agencies. The analytical framework involves the analysis of business risk, operational risk, industry risk, market risk, financial risk and management risk. Business risk analysis covers industry analysis, operating efficiency, market position of the company, whereas financial risk includes accounting quality, existing financial position, cash flows and financial flexibility. Under management risk analysis an assessment is made of the competence and risk appetite of the management. In addition to the basic framework, rating agencies also have detailed criteria/methodologies for various industries which take into account the specific features of that industry. Table 5.3 Methodology Adopted CRISIL ICRA CARE FITCH Business analysis Industry Economic & Past Years Regulatory and Competitive characteristics Competitive environment Fundamental position issuer of the analysis Management analysis Financial analysis Financial position of the issuer Operational efficiency Management efficiency Commitment to new projects Funding policies of the issuer Industry risk Business risk Rating Methodology (competitor s Past Years assignment) Instrument Financial Data Competitive terms Management position company of the assessment Forecast of the Financial risk future performance Analysis of company s financial position and ability to generate cash 122
28 5.7.1 CRISIL Rating Methodology: CRISIL assesses all the factors that could affect credit worthiness of the borrowing company and then assigns rating to debt instruments. The key factors, considered for rating assessment are: Business Analysis: Every relevant piece of information concerning the business is evaluated by assessing industrial risk, market position of the company within industry, operating efficiency and legal position. Financial Analysis: Under financial analysis, all relevant aspects connected with the business and financial position of the company are assessed. The profitability, solvency and liquidity ratios are taken into consideration. Thus, CRISIL considers Growth rate of PAT, PAT/OI, PBIT/Net Worth, Earnings on Capital Employed, PBDITA/TI, Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Pre-tax Coverage Ratio, Earnings on Assets to Capital Employed, etc. Management Evaluation: Judgment of management performance based on past operating and financial results, planning and control system of management, depths of managerial talents are considered. Regulatory and Competitive Environment: CRISIL evaluates structure and regulatory framework of financial system in which it works. Fundamental Analysis: It covers aspects on liquidity management (capital structure), asset quality, economic as well as industrial analysis of that particular entity to take the rating decision accordingly ICRA Rating Methodology: While assigning ratings ICRA considers all relevant factors that have a bearing on the future cash generation of the issuer. A detailed analysis of the past financial statements is made and estimates of future earnings under various scenarios are drawn up, over the tenure of the instrument being rated. The other factors considered are: Industry Characteristics: Industrial features are evaluated by ICRA by taking into account various success factors, demand and supply position, structure of industry and Government policies related to that particular entity. 123
29 Competitive Position: The competitive position of the issuer is evaluated by considering various factors including nature and basis of competition, competitive advantage through marketing and distribution, strength, weaknesses and opportunities available to the issuer in comparison to the competitors. Financial Risk Analysis: Under this, ICRA considers various accounting policies, debt servicing track record, cash flow position, profitability position and capital structure of the issuer. The ratios considered specifically for the purpose include: Profit after Tax /Total Income, Profit Before Depreciation Interest and Tax/Total Income, Earnings Before Depreciation Interest and Tax/ Interest and Fixed Charges, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, Total Debt/ Net Worth, Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Cash Accrual Ratio and so on. Operational Efficiency: Operational efficiency of the company is assessed by evaluating the price or cost advantage availability, cost and quality of raw material, availability of labour and labour relations prevalent in the organization. Management Quality: The quality of the management is evaluated by observing the goals and philosophies of the management, and its strategies and abilities to overcome adverse situations. Commitment to New Projects: ICRA also evaluates the company s commitment to new projects by estimating its progress in the initial stages and from past performance on similar projects. Funding Policies of the Issuer: The funding policies of the issuer are also evaluated to get the deep knowledge of the sources of funds of the issuer company and the uses to which these funds have been put into CARE Rating Methodology: CARE also takes into account various quantitative as well as qualitative factors while assigning rating which include: Economy and Industry Risk: The factors assessed by CARE include the effect of economic cycle on industry, business cycles, tariff structure, 124
30 basis of competition, environmental as well as political factors concerning the issuer s business. Business Risks (Competitor's Assessment): Factors considered under this are size of company and market share, supply of raw material and marketing arrangements, bargaining power of issuers, suppliers as well as customers, and location advantages and disadvantages available to the business of the issuer. Financial Risk: It includes analysis of financial management, capital structure, cash flow adequacy and profitability as well as liquidity position of the company. The financial risk is evaluated by CARE by considering various ratios including, Growth in total Income, Profit after Tax/Total Income, Profit before Depreciation Interest and Tax/ Total Income, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, Debt-Equity Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Overall Gearing Ratio, Current Ratio, Quick Ratio and Average Collection Period. Management Assessment: CARE makes complete assessment of the background and history of the issuer, corporate strategy adopted, philosophy and quality of management and the strength of management capabilities under stress. Terms of Instrument: Rating also depends on such factors as maturity of instrument, nature of security (whether secured or unsecured), repayment terms, coupon rates, etc. So, CARE also considers all these things before the assignment of rating FITCH Rating Methodology: FITCH rating analysis involves the assessment of the following: Past Years Rating Methodology: While assigning ratings FITCH takes into account last few years rating methodology on the basis of which rating was done. Past Years Financial Data: The ratios considered by FITCH while evaluating the past years financial data include, Profit Before Depreciation Interest and Tax/ Total Income, Profit after Tax/Total Income, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, Operating 125
