PEFINDO Rating Criteria & Methodology

Special Financial Institution - Key Success Factors


BUSINESS RISK ASSESSMENT

Product and market attractiveness


The analysis covers risk assessments on the attractiveness and level of demand on the products and
services offered by the company, particularly if compared to products and services offered by other special
financial institutions. This can be measured by among others, degree of urgency for the government or
society in fulfilling the need for such products or services offered by the company, penetration level in
national scale on the relevant products or services rendered by the company, compared to other countries,
and scope or size of such products or service offered by the company compared to macroeconomic
indicators. Products or services considered to have high urgency may support the company’s existence and
assessment on the product and market attractiveness, compared to other products and services offered by
other special financial institutions. Low national penetration rate compared to other countries may be
defined as high market potential in the future, but at the same time may also be interpreted as lack of
demand or attention from the authority on those products or services. Track record on the company’s
business growth may also support the assessment on product and market attractiveness, particularly if
compared to other special financial institutions.

Regulatory Framework
The analysis emphasizes on the existing and future regulations which are related to the company’s business
activities, compared to other regulations related to other special financial institutions. If the company’s
business activities are benefited by the regulation, this can positively affect the assessment, and vice versa.
The establishment of regulation specifically to support the company, particularly at high degree of hierarchy
such as Laws or Government Regulation could become another added value to support the company’s
going concern, compared to other special institutions without similar level of regulations. The higher degree
of hierarchy of the regulation could indicate smaller likelihood of amendment or revocation, which can
adversely affect the company’s business profile. Forms and level of supervisions by the authorities to the
company, compared to other special financial institutions may also affect the regulation risk profile, where
it may limit the company’s flexibility in business expansion, but on the other side the supervision may also
ensure the company’s health and governance at a manageable level.

Diversification
The assessment will cover thorough examination on how the company diversify its business activities and
accordingly mitigate business concentration risk, including diversification based on type of products, area,
and customers. If the concentration risk is high, the company may be vulnerable to business downturn.
Analysis on the company’s diversification in its liabilities aspect is also carefully reviewed. The company’s
ability to generate recurring revenue from its products or services could enhance its revenue stability
against possible hiccups in the industry.

Management and Corporate Strategy


The qualitative analysis will play a dominant factor in assessing the company's management quality,
experience, credibility and strategy to successfully make the company well-positioned going forward,
especially in industry whereas trust and image are very important. The analysis will cover the examination
on the management's strategic plans, operational controls and skills, financial strategies and goals,
objectives in investment as well as management's tolerance for risks. The assessment will also try to see
how well the management successfully executing their chosen strategies to achieve objectives. The
management's guidelines or directions for maintaining levels of solvency, and gearing up of the balance
sheet with debt are also diligently reviewed.
