MORE rating guide General vision A credit rating is an opinion of the general creditworthiness of an obligor (issuer rating), or the creditworthiness of an obligor in respect of a specific debt security, or other financial obligation (issue rating), based on relevant risk factors. The Multi Objective Rating Evaluation (MORE) model is essentially used to assess the level of distress of industrial companies by using data included in financial statements. The basic idea of the model is to analyze a set of financial and economic ratios in a predictive corporate bankruptcy model with the purpose of creating a fundamental credit rating model for each industrial sector. Results of the model are obtained by applying newly developed numerical methodologies, drawing together financial theory, data mining and engineering design methodologies. The heart of MORE is a multi dimensional and multi objective algorithm that produces a classification of each company, by taking into account any attributes (such as sector and country) characterizing a firm. The model gives the opportunity to assign a rating to a company even without considering a complete data analysis and allows to process quality information. It induces a better understanding of a company s strength and weakness thanks to sophisticated data mining tools and taking into account the analysts knowledge. The MORE rating vision is to look at the fundamental economics of the company. The main idea is to evaluate the rating observing every aspect of the economical and financial behavior of the company: better is the equilibrium between the different aspects, better will be the final rating. This is done studying, evaluating and aggregating the most important sections of the financial and economic behavior of a company as: profitability, liquidity, solvency, interest coverage and efficiency.

Rating scale Rating class
Rating Macro class
The company’s capacity to meet its financial commitments is extremely strong. The company shows an excellent economic and financial flow and fund equilibrium.
AAA
AA
Healthy
A
BBB Balanced BB
B Vulnerable CCC
D
The company has very strong creditworthiness. It also has a good capital structure and economic and financial equilibrium. Difference from ’AAA’ is slight. The company has a high solvency. The company is however more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than companies in higher rated categories. Capital structure and economic equilibrium are considered adequate. The company’s capacity to meet its financial commitments could be affected by serious unfavourable events. A company rated ’BB’ is more vulnerable than companies rated ’BBB’. Furthermore the company faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions. The company presents vulnerable signals with regard to its fundamentals. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will be likely to impair the company’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments. A company rated ’CCC’ has a dangerous disequilibrium on the capital structure and on its economic and financial fundamentals. Adverse market events and an inadequate management could affect with high probability the company’s solvency. The company shows signals of high vulnerability. In the event of adverse market and economic conditions, the company’s strong disequilibrium could increase.
CC
C
Assessment
Risky
The company shows considerable pathological situations. The company’s capacity to meet its financial commitments is very low. The company has not any longer the capacity to meet its financial commitments.

Fundamental Credit Rating Ratios Solvency ratios Leverage ratio Assets to debt Financial ratios Fixed Assets coverage ratio Liquidity ratios Current ratio Quick ratio
Measures the level of total liabilities of the company in comparison with equity. Indicates company s solvency. The company shows a level of deficit when the value of this ratio is under one unit. Only for holdings. It measures the capital structure i.e. whether a company covers the fixed assets with long term capital. The current ratio measures whether a company has sufficient short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities. The quick ratio compares current liabilities only to those assets that can be readily turned into cash.
Profitability and economic ratios Return on Investement(ROI) It measures the profitability of company investments without regard to the way the Return on Equity(ROE) Asset turnover Profit margin Interest coverage ratio Interest Paid coverage
investment is financed. It measures the profitability of the equity. It indicates the investments turnover with regard to sales. The level assumed from the ratio depends on the sector in which the company operates. It indicates the profitability of the sales. Indicate the ability of the company to cover interest expenses through the economic margins (Gross profit and EBIT) and through the cash flow from operating activities.

mF Credit Limit mF Credit limit is the estimation of the amount of maximum credit that is possible to assign on a commercial relationship with the analyzed company with an outlook of one year. modeFinance used the following values associated with the company analyzed while computing the credit limit: • Size; • Years in Business; • Average number of suppliers; • Liquidity of the company and the comparison with its sector;; • The funds dedicated to be paid to suppliers; • The likelihood that a company may pay its debts in the next 12 months (MORE Ratings). The credit limit in this report is merely a suggested value of commercial credit limit calculated on the basis of annual public data. This value should be reviewed by paying attention at the Confidence Level value and by using other information such as other business information, news... etc; and private information such as the relationship with client, history of payments, guarantees and the knowledge of the sector.
Probability of default and Confidence Level In addition to the MORE rating, modeFinance also estimates the probability of default and provides a level of confidence. The probability of default is the degree of certainty (in quantitative terms) that the company will go into default. As the probability of default is strongly affected by the economic climate the company is operating in, companies in the same MORE class will not necessarily have the same probability of default. The MORE model can produce a MORE rating even if there is missing data by using an associated confidence level: P Available Inf ormation Conf idence = P T otal Inf ormation The level of confidence does not indicate financial confidence in the company. It is a reflection of the variations in availability of financial data across Europe due to filing regulations and suggests the degree of financial detail the MORE rating is able to take into account for each company. For companies with fully populated records a confidence level of 100% would be applied: companies where no financial data is provided, 0%. This puts the MORE rating in a context for the user and aids interpretation.
