Brickwork Ratings (BWR) reaffirmed long-term ratings to BWR BB/Stable, the short-term rating to A4 and continues the same under the ISSUER NOT COOPERATING* category and has simultaneously withdrawn its ratings based on the best available information at the time of withdrawal for the bank loan facilities of AMDD Foods Pvt. Ltd. The withdrawal of the rating is based on the company’s request for withdrawal and pursuant to receiving No Objection Certificates (NOC) from its lenders in this regard. The company has taken up with BWR for the withdrawal of the Bank Loan Rating. As per BWR’s Rating Withdrawal Policy, the rating has been reviewed based on available information at the time of withdrawal. The withdrawal ratings are in line with BWR's policy on the withdrawal of its ratings for bank loan facilities, and the relevant documents are held on record.
The lenders/investors may note to exercise due caution while using the above rating which mentions "Issuer Not Cooperating" since the rating lacks required details, hence it is arrived at based on the best available information without any management/banker's interaction.
ANALYTICAL APPROACH AND APPLICABLE RATING CRITERIA:
For arriving at its ratings, BWR has considered a standalone approach and applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria. (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
LIMITATIONS OF THE RATING: Information availability risk is a key factor in assessing credit risk as generally, non-cooperation by the rated entities to provide the required information for a review of the assigned rating may also be accompanied by financial stress. Users of the credit rating should, therefore, take into account the possible deterioration in the credit quality of the rated entity arising from its non-transparency and withholding of the information required for a review of the rating.
