November 16, 2016

DBRS Limited (DBRS) has today updated its Universities Fact Sheet and Corporate Risk Assessment Scorecard. The fact sheet provides an overview of the key metrics that may influence university credit ratings.

The scorecard displays Business and Financial Risk Assessments for each publicly rated company in a given major corporate sector covered by DBRS. The goal of the new scorecards is to provide additional insight into how DBRS determines its ratings. The assessments are measured using the same scale as DBRS’s rating scale and are provided for each business and financial risk factor important to each sector, as outlined in the relevant DBRS rating methodology.

Notes:
The applicable methodology is Rating Public Universities, which can be found on our website under Methodologies.
