Ratings Navigator for CorporatesWhat Navigator Interactive DoesRatings Navigator for Corporates offers the next level in credit transparency.Our Navigator snapshots already provide a visual overview of key quantitative and qualitative factorsin issuers’ credit profiles. We have extended the use of this data to Navigator Interactive – a fullyinteractive graphical peer comparator tool, combining observations for sector, country, business andfinancial risks across Fitch's global rating portfolio of non-financial corporates.In Navigator Interactive, the user can:-download Navigator charts and Factor-level peer data into an interactive web-tool for Fitchrated corporates and for a selection of unrated issuers,-edit the profile of existing issuers in Navigator to reflect the user’s own view of an issuer’sprofile, including hypothetical changes to the issuer’s business and financial risks,-create a new Navigator chart for an unrated issuer, using one of more than 40 industrytemplates,-generate a Factor Summary Observation (FSO) to compare unrated and rated peers,-save and export Navigator work on a secure and fully confidential basis to a fully functionallocal Excel version.Navigator is not a criteria tool, but pulls together commonly considered factors for key industrialsectors and uses them to highlight strengths and weaknesses of issuer profiles. Navigator Interactivealso introduces the Factor Summary Observation (FSO), an electronic summary of thoseobservations. Many other considerations are included in the process of creating an actual creditrating – for more information on the FSO, consult the Technical Background section of this document.Users are advised to familiarise themselves with the brief Frequently Asked Questions section in thisdocument before working with the tool.Navigator research reports are available as part of our premium research subscription within FitchResearch. Navigator Interactive will, for a trial period, be open to professional users, with exports toExcel, at vigator Interactive For Corporates v1.0 June 2015

Ratings Navigator for CorporatesUsing Navigator Interactive in the Web-Tool VersionNavigator Interactive has two modes – EDIT mode for issuers already inside thetool, and CREATE mode, which allows you to create your own Navigator fromscratch.Using Edit ModeEDIT‘Explore and Edit’ Mode – Edit an Existing NavigatorIf you would like to explore the relative strengths and weaknesses of an issuer on itsexisting profile, or run scenarios of a change in profile, choose the Edit mode.Select IssuerEdit mode will download the Navigator sector template, plus the individual Navigatorinputs for the issuer you have chosen. In some cases, issuers whose activities spanmore than one sector will have more than one set of Navigator data. If this is thecase, you will be asked to choose which Navigator template you would like to reviewfor that issuer.Editing InputsOnce the Navigator data has loaded, you can edit the inputs, either at the Factorlevel, or at the more detailed Subfactor level.Select Factorand SubfactorEditing SubfactorsFirst, choose the Factor you would like to work on from the drop-down list. This willpull up the relevant Subfactors, each with their own pick-list by rating level. Hereyou can change the Subfactors to reflect the changes you would make in assessingthe issuer’s profile.Your changes to the Subfactor will automatically update the overall Factor level,visible on the far right. The impact of your Subfactor choices on the overall Factorlevel will also be immediately visible on the Navigator chart.4www.fitchratings.comNavigator Interactive For Corporates v1.0 June 2015

Ratings Navigator for CorporatesEditing Factors DirectlyOver-riding aFactorChanging Subfactors will change the overall Factor level 1, but you can also overridethis calculation if you feel that one Subfactor is more dominant. To override aFactor calculation, use the overall ‘Factor Midpoint’ pick-list on the far right. Theposition of the Factor will then change on the Navigator chart. The Factor box willnow also be highlighted in red, and the ‘Subfactor Override’ box will be ticked. Toreturn to automatic Factor calculation, untick the ‘Subfactor Override’ box, and theFactor will return to automatic calculation for that Factor.Choose a FactorOverride or Set FactorReset ButtonEdit Importance FactorEdit Subfactors2‘Importance’settingFor all Factors (other than Operating Environment ), you can also select a FactorImportance level from the drop-down list. This will increase or decrease the Factor’simportance in the FSO calculation1.You can proceed in this manner for all of the individual Factors and their respectiveSubfactors. Factor levels will always recalculate, move position and change colouron the Navigator chart in real time.Checking Against PeersPeer Table1The comparable Factor and Importance levels for immediate peers are displayedbelow the Navigator chart and editing areas. You can change the number andidentity of peers using the ‘Edit Peers’ link immediately above the peer table. Notethat you can only select peers that have been entered using the same Navigatortemplate, ie in the same sector.See ‘Factor and Factor Summary Observation Calculations’2The Importance level for the ‘Operating Environment’ Factor is generated automatically by comparing the levelof the FSO with that of the Operating Environment – only if the OE is sufficiently lower than the FSO to affect theFSO calculation would the Importance level be High5www.fitchratings.comNavigator Interactive For Corporates v1.0 June 2015

Ratings Navigator for CorporatesUsing Create ModeCREATE‘Create’ Mode – Create a New NavigatorTo create a Navigator chart for an entity for which no data is held by Fitch, choosethe ‘Create a Navigator’ option on the home screen.Select IndustryYou will be asked to pick a Navigator sector template to use, and then be asked toenter the name of the issuer.Issuer Name HereSelect CountryYou MUST enter a country for the issuer, by clicking on the ‘Additional IssuerInformation’ tab to the left, and select a country. You will find the Navigator easier touse if you choose the functional country of incorporation 3.If you do not enter a country, the Navigator will not export to Excel.Creating Using SubfactorsSelect Factorand SubfactorAs with ‘Edit’ mode, you should select a Factor from the drop-down list, and seteach Subfactor to match your view of the issuer. No bars will appear on theNavigator chart until you have made your first entry for each Factor. As soon asNavigator has calculated a Factor, that Factor’s chart-bar will be generated andplaced on the chart. The final FSO will not be generated until all Factors have beenentered – after that point, it will recalculate and move in real time, as with Edit mode.3For example, you will have fewer adjustments to make to the Operating Environment factor if you enter, forexample, a substantively Brazilian, Russian or Chinese company registered in Luxembourg or the CaymanIslands, as Brazilian, Russian or Chinese within the Navigator.8www.fitchratings.comNavigator Interactive For Corporates v1.0 June 2015

Ratings Navigator for CorporatesCreating Using Factors OnlyOver-riding aFactorFor faster entry, you can enter and edit Navigator at the overall Factor level instead.As in ‘Edit’ mode, use the ‘Factor Midpoint’ pick-list on the far right. You can alsouse this pick-list to override any Subfactors you have entered. The position of theFactor will then change on the Navigator chart, as will the level used for the FactorSummary Observation calculation. The Factor box will also be highlighted in red,and the ‘Subfactor Override’ box will be ticked. To return to automatic Factorcalculation, untick the ‘Subfactor Override’ box, and the Factor will return toautomatic calculation.Operating EnvironmentOperatingEnvironment(shortcut fordevelopedmarkets)Creating an Operating Environment level requires some preparatory work to definethe three Subfactors, Economic Environment, Financial Access and SystemicGovernance. More detail is contained in Technical Background section 2: OperatingEnvironment. Alternatively, a simplified entry approach is available once theNavigator has been saved to Excel – see Using Navigator in the Excel ExportVersion.As a shortcut, users comparing issuers in predominantly developed markets canopt to simply set the OE at ‘aa’ using ‘Override’. We recommend that userscomparing issuers active in emerging markets view the Appendix below beforeconsidering whether or not to override either in the web tool or the Excel export.Selecting Importance‘Importance’settingFor all Factors other than Operating Environment, you MUST also select a FactorImportance level from the drop-down list. This will increase or decrease the Factor’simportance in the FSO calculation1. The Importance level for the ‘OperatingEnvironment’ Factor is generated automatically by comparing the level of the FSOwith that of the Operating Environment – only if the OE is sufficiently lower than theFSO to affect the FSO calculation would the Importance level be High. The colourof the OE bar will indicate automatically whether it is affecting the FSO (red forHigh), close to the FSO (dark blue for Moderate) or irrelevant for the FSO (light bluefor Low).You can proceed in this manner for all Factors and their respective Subfactors.Factor levels will recalculate, move position and change colour on the Navigatorchart in real time.If you do not select Importance levels on each, Navigator will not export to Excel.Checking Against PeersPeer TableTo help you select relevant Factor and Importance levels, the comparable Factorand Importance levels for immediate peers are displayed below the Navigator chartand editing areas. You can change the number and identity of peers using the ‘EditPeers’ link immediately above the peer table. You can only select peers that havebeen entered in the same Navigator template.9www.fitchratings.comNavigator Interactive For Corporates v1.0 June 2015
