Fitch affirms Sri Lanka Telecom at 'AA-(lka)'; outlook stable

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Sir Lanka Telecom PLC’s (SLT) National Long-Term Rating at ‘AA-(Ika)’. The Outlook is Stable. We have also affirmed the ‘AA-(Ika)’ national rating on the company’s LKR7 billion of senior unsecured debt.
SLT’s ratings are constrained by the sovereign’s ratings as per Fitch’s Government-Related Entities Rating Criteria, as the state holds a majority stake in SLT directly and indirectly, and exercises significant influence on its operating and financial profile.
SLT’s unconstrained standalone credit profile is stronger than that of the government of Sri Lanka, reflecting the company’s market leadership in fixed-line services and second-largest position in mobile, its ownership of an extensive optical-fibre network, and a solid financial profile.
