Content RAM Ratings has reaffirmed the AA3/Stable rating of Besraya (M) Sdn Bhd's (the Company) RM700 million Sukuk Mudharabah Issuance Facility (2011/2028). Besraya is the toll concessionaire for the 16.6km Sungai Besi Highway (SBH) and the 12.3km Besraya Eastern Extension (BEE). The rating reflects the SBH's strong traffic profile underpinned by its strategic alignment through populated townships and industrial areas, which supports the Company's sturdy debtservicing capability. Overall, total average daily traffic (ADT) cumulatively at both the Loke Yew and Mines plazas exceeded our expectations, growing a robust 8.7% yoy to 147,034 vehicles in fiscal 2016. This was due to the impressive 32.2% yoy ADT growth at the Loke Yew plaza, attributable to the BEE's connectivity. Growth at the Loke Yew plaza was more than offset the slight 1% yo y decline at the Mines toll plaza due to the tollrate hike (excluding buses) in October 2015. Moving ahead, we expect traffic growth at the Mines plaza to gradually recover to prerate hike levels. Our sensitised cashflow projections indicate that Besraya's FSCR (with cash balances, postdistribution) will remain intact, averaging 2.70 times throughout the remaining tenure of the Sukuk. However, in fiscal 2019, the FSCR (with cash balances) is expected to dip below 2 times a oneoff event owing to the proposed upgrading work at the Kuchai interchange of the SBH. The upgrading work will be internally funded at a fixed cost of RM60 million over the next 3 fiscal years, with the elevated capex leaving no headroom for dividend distribution between fiscal 2017 and 2020. Distributions to shareholders (if any) would have to be supported by outperformance of our sensitised traffic and cashflow projection. As with other tollroad projects, Besraya is inherently exposed to regulatory and singleproject risks.

The credit rating also does not reflect the legality and enforceability of financial obligations. RAM Ratings receives compensation for its rating services, normally paid by the issuers of such securities or the rated entity, and sometimes third parties participating in marketing the securities, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, underwriters, etc. The receipt of this compensation has no influence on RAM Ratings' credit opinions or other analytical processes. In all instances, RAM Ratings is committed to preserving the objectivity, integrity and independence of its ratings. Rating fees are communicated to clients prior to the issuance of rating opinions. While RAM Ratings reserves the right to disseminate the ratings, it receives no payment for doing so, except for subscriptions to its publications. Similarly, the disclaimers above also apply to RAM Ratings' creditrelated analyses and commentaries, where relevant.
