RATINGS UPDATE
On 2 May 2018 Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) affirmed Barloworld Limited’s
(“Barloworld”) long-term and short-term issuer Global Scale Ratings of Baa3 and P-3, and also
affirmed the long-term and short-term National Scale Ratings of Aa1.za and P-1.za. On 27 March
2018 Moody’s changed the outlook on the ratings of Barloworld from negative to stable following
the change of outlook on the Baa3 sovereign rating of South Africa.
Moody’s reported that this rating recognises Barloworld’s leading competitive market positions,
supported by strong brand offerings and stable long term relationships with its principal suppliers,
together with a diversified product mix and resilient business model. The ratings also consider
Barloworld’s good liquidity position resulting from its favorable debt maturity profile. The full
