Подтверждение Moody's рейтингов Аграрной кредитной корпорации основывается на аудированной финансовой отчетности компании за 2010 г., подготовленной по стандартам МСФО, и ее неаудированным отчетам за третий квартал 2011 г., подготовленным в соответствии с национальной версией общепринятых стандартов бухгалтерского учета. Ниже приводится оригинальный текст сообщения Moody's на английском языке. London, 22 December 2011 - Moody's Investors Service has today affirmed the following ratings of Agrarian Credit Corporation (Kazakhstan): the Ba2 long-term and Not-Prime short-term local and foreign currency issuer ratings. Moody's affirmation of Agrarian Credit Corporation's ratings is based on the company's audited financial statements for 2010 prepared under IFRS, and its unaudited reports under local GAAP as at Q3 2011. RATINGS RATIONALE "Moody's affirmation of Agrarian Credit Corporation's ratings, with a stable outlook, reflects the company's solid capital buffer and the rating agency's assessment of strong probability of government support in the event of need," says Maxim Bogdashkin, a Moody's Assistant Vice-President and lead analyst for the company. Despite the growing level of problem loans (90+ days overdue loans accounted for 15.7% of total loans as at Q3 2011), Agrarian Credit Corporation's capital cushion remains strong, with the ratio of shareholder's equity to total assets exceeding 50%. The company's loan loss reserves of almost 10% of total loans also provide additional protection against potential losses from its non-performing loans. At the same time, Moody's notes that due to its specific single-industry mandate Agrarian Credit Corporation's ratings remain constrained by concentration of its loan portfolio on the agriculture sector, which is perceived risky by Moody's. Given that Agrarian Credit Corporation's mandate targets social and developmental rather than business goals, the company's longer-term credit quality also significantly depends on government support in the form of continuous funding and equity injections. Moody's continues to incorporate strong probability of government support into Agrarian Credit Corporation's ratings because of its 100% government ownership and existing track record of capital and funding support over the past several years. PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGIES The methodologies used in this rating were Bank Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology published in February 2007, and Government-Related Issuers: Methodology Update published in July 2010. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of these methodologies. Headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan, Agrarian Credit Corporation reported total assets of KZT100.8 billion (US$682 million) under unaudited local GAAP as of Q3 2011. The company recorded a net profit of KZT915 million (US$6.2 million) in the first three quarters of 2011.
