Fitch Assigns Thai ORIX Leasing's Guaranteed Bonds Final 'AAA(tha)'

Fitch Ratings (Thailand) has assigned Thai ORIX Leasing Co., Ltd.'s (TOLC) Thai baht guaranteed bonds a final National Long-Term Rating of 'AAA(tha)'. The outlook is Stable.

The final rating is in line with the expected rating assigned on 3 August 2023 after final documentation confirmed the information previously received.

KEY RATING DRIVERS
The rating on TOLC's guaranteed bond is based entirely on the irrevocable and unconditional guarantees provided by its Japan-based parent, ORIX Corporation (A-/Stable). ORIX's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) is higher than Thailand's Long-Term Local-Currency IDR of 'BBB+'/Stable, and hence correlates to the highest rating on the Thai national scale of 'AAA(tha)'. The Stable Outlook on the long-term guaranteed bond is consistent with that on the guarantor, ORIX.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative Rating Action/Downgrade
The National Long-Term Rating on the guaranteed bonds could be downgraded if ORIX's Long-Term Foreign-Currency IDR becomes lower than Thailand's Long-Term Local-Currency IDR, either through an upgrade of the Thai sovereign rating or a downgrade of ORIX's rating. Any action will also take into account relativities on the Thai national rating scale.

Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive Rating Action/Upgrade
The rating on the guaranteed bonds are at the highest level on the national scale and an upgrade is not possible.
