The outlook on the ratings is stable. "The rating upgrade recognises that the merger of Aromatics and Rayong Refinery has created a company with a stronger credit profile" says Moody senior vice president Tony Tsai. "PTTAR's business profile is further supported by its enhanced vertical integration achieved through its ownership of a substantial and efficient oil refinery. " The merger also provides PTTAR with better product and earnings diversity particularly given the strength of the refining sector overall. Such diversity should lessen the volatility that had characterised Aromatics' standalone earnings in recent years he says. Furthermore the merger leads to a stronger financial profile for PTTAR with debt to Ebitda (earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation) of around 1… 5 times on a sustainable basis. 5 times on a consistent basis. This outcome could be a result of: a material downturn in the petrochemicals and refining industry or the company undertakes further aggressive debt-funded cap-expenditure plans.
