The company’s creditworthiness is supported by its consistently profitable operations facilitating equity growth, strong liquidity metrics, stable funding base and access to long-term financing options with comfortable payment terms, improving diversification by investment type (the pool of the company’s projects is increasing every year), and the successful delivery of a number of projects. NRA also notes SHL’s supportive key partners and beneficiaries.
