OREANDA-NEWS. National Rating Agency has affirmed its national sale 'AA-' credit rating on Quarter 674-675 LLC (Quarter).

The rating is supported by the company's high-quality assets, whose market value by far exceeds their book value and allows the company's debt burden to be regarded as reasonable. The main factors determining the current rating level are the unique asset controlled by the company and Quarter's predictable and stable operating performance. We also note the parent group's ability to provide a strong support to the company in case of need.

The rating is constrained by the worsening macroeconomic situation, which affects, among other things, the commercial property sector, market trends that may lower property costs or generated rental flows, slow down the company's long-term growth and impair its access to funding. That said, Quarter is in a better position relative to peers due to the dominance of foreigners in the tenant base. We also note the company's modest balance-sheet capital adequacy and high debt burden level.
