Whitehaven Coal Limited(ASX:WHC)今日宣布,其公共信用评级已由全球三大信用评级机构--标普全球评级(S&P Global Ratings)、惠誉评级(Fitch Ratings)和穆迪投资者服务(Moody’s Investors Service)正式发布。此次评级结果包括针对公司拟议高级担保债务工具的投资级评级,为公司当前的再融资计划奠定了坚实基础。
根据公告,各评级机构对Whitehaven Coal的具体评级如下:标普给予公司发行人信用评级BB+,展望稳定;惠誉给予 issuer default rating(发行人违约评级)BB+,展望稳定;穆迪则给予企业家族评级Ba1,展望稳定。值得注意的是,除上述企业信用评级外,标普与惠誉均对公司拟议的高级担保债务工具给出了BBB-的投资级评级,这一评级水平符合投资级标准,有助于公司在全球债务市场上更便捷地获取资金。
Whitehaven Coal首席执行官兼董事总经理保罗·弗林(Paul Flynn)对此表示:“这些信用评级充分认可了公司信用状况的显著改善、审慎的资本管理策略,以及对Daunia和Blackwater冶金煤矿运营的成功整合。通过整合,公司实现了业务多元化、规模扩张及周期性回报的提升,增强了抗风险能力。” 弗林进一步指出,在推进11亿美元(USD)收购设施的再融资过程中,三大评级机构的公开评级为公司进入全球债务资本市场提供了有力支撑。“这将使我们能够发行预期达到投资级水平的高级担保债务工具,从而实现融资渠道多元化、大幅降低融资成本,并最终降低公司的加权平均资本成本(WACC),为股东创造可观价值。”
Whitehaven Coal是澳大利亚领先的煤炭生产商,主要经营冶金煤和动力煤业务,旗下拥有Daunia、Blackwater等多个核心煤矿资产,产品广泛应用于钢铁制造等领域。公司致力于通过高效运营和战略布局,巩固其在全球煤炭市场的竞争力。
