DEBT AND OTHER INSTRUMENT RATINGS: KEY RATING DRIVERS

The bonds are rated at the same level as BFI's National Long-Term Rating, in accordance with Fitch's criteria, as they represent BFI's direct obligations and rank pari passu with its other obligations in the same debt class.

The obligations are 50% secured against the company's receivables as is common for bonds issued by BFI, but we do not view this as providing credit enhancement, as per Fitch's criteria for entities in Indonesia.

BFI's National Long-Term Rating is driven by its standalone profile. For more details, see 'Fitch Affirms Indonesia's BFI Finance at 'A+(idn)'; Outlook Stable', at https://www.fitchratings.com/site/pr/10195514.

DEBT AND OTHER INSTRUMENT RATINGS: RATING SENSITIVITIES

BFI's bond programmes and issue ratings are sensitive to changes in its National Long-Term Rating. Any negative or positive action on the issuer's National Long-Term Rating will result in corresponding action on the bond ratings. Please refer to BFI's rating action commentary in the link above for rating sensitivities on the National Long-Term Rating.
