Overview
Expectations for 2010 and Beyond
> Anaemic growth in 2010 after 2009 low point
> Growth dependent on private sector and consumer recovery
> Corporate liquidity aided by 2009’s exuberant bond market and impaired banks rolling existing exposures at higher cost
> Companies have conserved cash
– some equity issuance, cancel share buybacks, reduce capex, some reduce dividend, working capital management
> Management action
> Less fall in profit v. turnover decline as companies cut costs

Overview (cont.)
> All credit ratings and outlooks based on our independent forecasts
– Forecasting the downturn and ‘exit point’
> By FY11e some sectors yet to recover to FY07’s absolute profit levels

parameters, rating categories, within which representative companies operate.
2. Company Specific Traits– Company traits narrow down range within, or potential for position outside,
the Sector Risk Profile.
