ANNUAL RATING RESULTS OF PT HINO FINANCE INDONESIA PERIOD 2023-2024


Jakarta, 27 June 2023 - In order to comply with OJK Regulation No.49/POJK.04/2020 regarding Ratings of Debt Securities and/or Sukuk, PT Fitch Ratings Indonesia (“Fitch”) reevaluating the Annual Rating of PT Hino Finance Indonesia (the “Company”) with results as follows:

The RWN occurred following the announcement of a potential change in the shareholding structure of Hino Motors, Ltd., which owns 40% of the Company's shares. The Company's current rating is driven by Fitch's expectation of extraordinary support from Hino Motors in a time of need and is related to its assessment of shareholder's credit profile.

New Structure Plan: Toyota Motor Corporation (A+/Stable), owner of 50.1% of Hino Motors, and Daimler Truck AG, majority shareholder of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, plan to establish a new holding company as direct shareholders of two subsidiaries company. Toyota and Daimler Truck will become shareholders of the new holding company, which will also have other minority shareholders.

Fitch believes Hino Motors' relationship with Toyota strengthens its credit profile and the announced collaboration could change Hino Motors' shareholding structure and credit profile, as well as Toyota's level of control and support. The plan is not legally binding, although a final deal is slated to be signed by late-1Q24 and the new parent company's final corporate structure will be defined over the next 18 months.

Fitch may remove the RWN and affirm the Company's rating if the corporate action is cancelled, or if Fitch assesses that Hino Motors' post-transaction credit profile and its relationship with the Company remains strong enough to support the Company's rating at its current level.

Detailed information can be seen in the information release issued by Fitch.
