  • Correction: Fitch Affirms Melstacorp and Distilleries at 'AAA(Lka)'; Outlook Stable
    04 Nov 2019 Affirmation Correction: Fitch Affirms Melstacorp and Distilleries at 'AAA(lka)'; Outlook Stable Fitch Ratings-Colombo-04 November 2019: This is a correction of a release published on 22 October 2019. It corrects the leverage level above which negative rating action may be taken. Fitch Ratings has affirmed the National Long-Term Ratings of Sri Lanka-based conglomerate, Melstacorp PLC, and its subsidiary, Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka PLC (DIST), at 'AAA(lka)'. The Outlook is Stable. Fitch rates DIST based on the consolidated profile of Melstacorp due to strong legal and operational linkages between the two entities, as defined in our Parent and Subsidiary Rating Linkage criteria. DIST contributes around 70% to Melstacorp's consolidated EBITDAR, shares the same board of directors and has previously provided financial support to weaker group entities in the form of corporate guarantees. The affirmations reflect Melstacorp's ability to maintain leverage below 2.0x over the medium-term, despite large investments in core and non-core operations. Leverage is defined as net adjusted debt/operating EBITDAR, including Melstacorp's 51%-share of Aitken Spence PLC's net debt and EBITDA, but excluding its insurance subsidiary. Melstacorp saw net leverage weaken to 1.8x in the financial year ending March 2019 (FY19), from 1.3x in FY18, following significant debt-funded investments. The group's investment drive is supported by the strong operating cash flow of its core subsidiary, DIST, which is Sri Lanka's market leader in spirits, enjoying a strong brand presence and high entry barriers. We expect DIST to account for around 70% of Melstacorp's group EBITDA, including its 51% share of Aitken Spence, over the medium-term.
