OREANDA-NEWS. June 30, 2015. Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'F1+' rating on Adventist Health System Sunbelt (Adventist) approximately \\$335.5 million of outstanding variable rate debt issued by Highlands County Health Facilities Authority supported by self-liquidity.

Adventist's Long-term rating is 'AA'.

Key Rating Drivers

SUFFICIENT INTERNAL LIQUIDITY: The 'F1+' rating reflects the strength of Adventist's cash and investment position to pay the cost of a mandatory tender on its self-liquidity debt. At June 18, 2015, Sunbelt's eligible cash and investment position under Fitch's criteria would cover the cost of the maximum mandatory put on any given date in excess of Fitch's 1.25x threshold for the F1+ short term rating.

CREDIT PROFILE UNCHANGED: Adventist's credit metrics remain in line with Fitch's 'AA' category medians and the long-term rating was most recently affirmed June 27, 2014.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

MAINTENANCE OF ADEQUATE LIQUIDITY: Adventist Health System Sunbelt must maintain adequate internal liquid resources to cover its total put exposure above 1.25x to maintain the 'F1+' short term rating.
