Moody’s Changes Outlook on Long-Term Rating of DTEK
OREANDA-NEWS. November 16, 2010. Moody’s Investors Service has today changed to stable from negative the outlook on the B2 long-term corporate family rating (CFR) of DTEK Holdings B.V. (“DTEK”).
Despite adverse macroeconomic developments in 2009, accompanied by a significant decline in electricity consumption, Moody’s notes that DTEK managed to preserve its solid financial performance and capitalise on the recovery in electricity consumption in 2010.
“The change of outlook to stable from negative reflects a combination of DTEK’s solid financial performance, strong liquidity position and improved debt maturity profile; improved macroeconomic development in Ukraine; the stabilisation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia exchange rate; and an easing of pressure on the Ukrainian banking sector,” says Richard Miratsky, a Moody’s Vice President–Senior Analyst and lead analyst for DTEK.
Vsevolod Starukhin, DTEK CFO, noted: ‘The rating’s outlook change reflects confidence in DTEK’s ability to show positive trends in operational results despite turmoil economic conditions, its solid financial position and a more stable situation prevailing in both financial and real sectors of Ukrainian economy, including the power sector.”
