Assessing the credit standing of a sector
Excellent
When the insolvency rate is low, the sector is doing well. When the asset pool is sufficient, even extended periods of crisis can be navigated successfully. The forecast for the sector is better than average.
Sound
Good solvency can be expected in the short and medium term. Sufficient capital endowment warrants good credit standing for the long run, too. Only a serious deterioration of the sectoral environment would give rise to difficulties.
Average
No developments are expected next year that would put the credit standing at risk. Unfavourable developments may occur in the medium term; probability of default is below average.
Impaired
The credit standing will remain stable in the short term. However, the sector's reserves are low. Its financial situation is between average and somewhat impaired.
Poor
The sector has a high risk of insolvency. All it needs is short-term unfavourable developments to lead to additional company defaults. The insolvency rate will increase.
Unsatisfactory to insolvent
The credit standing of the sector’s companies suggests very high insolvency risk and insolvencies. Further structural adjustments are expected in this sector.
Data quality, cooperation and background.
Every year, the balance sheet database of the Austrian Institute for SME Research provides some 100,000 anonymised annual financial statements of solvent and insolvent companies. The key figures in the model cover all central areas, including financing, investments, assets, productivity, income, turnover rate, liquidity and expenses. In addition to these conclusive balance sheet and income statements figures, the database also includes anonymised insolvency data.

All things considered, the rating model allows for an objective determination of credit standing at sector level. It goes without saying, that the KSV1870 BalanceSheetSectorRating meets the
quality standards for rating models as set forth in the OeNB/FMA Guidelines.
