BOSTON (AC Invest Credit Rating Terminal) Sat Jul 31 2021 22:09:02 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) AI Credit Ratings today took the rating actions below: Credit Rating Rationales & Model When calculating sources of liquidity, we only include the undrawn, available portion of committed bank lines maturing beyond the specified time horizon for each liquidity descriptor. For example, when assessing liquidity as adequate, we only include a committed revolving credit facility as a source if it matured beyond the next 12 months. Similarly, given that our liquidity assessment looks out over two years when assessing liquidity as strong or exceptional, we only include a facility maturing beyond 24 months as a source of liquidity.

BOSTON (AC Invest Credit Rating Terminal) Sat Jul 31 2021 21:09:02 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) AI Credit Ratings today took the rating actions below: Credit Rating Rationales & Model Our liquidity uses include dividends and share repurchases that we expect under a stress scenario. Unlike other potential uses of liquidity, such as debt maturities or maintenance capital spending, we view dividends and share repurchases as more discretionary, although more so for the latter. For this reason, when evaluating a company's liquidity position, we may use a lower estimate of dividends and shareholder repurchases than in our base-case forecast based on our views of management and the company's track record in terms of shareholder returns and maintaining a certain minimum level of liquidity.
