Latin America

Methodology," which is the criteria we use for rating corporate industrial companies and utilities. We list the scores for the 169 public ratings in LatAm that are within the scope of our

corporate methodology, accompanied by charts that show the distribution of aggregated scores. We believe that the list and charts enhance benchmarking across industries and rating levels

for all market participants.

We disclose these scores in line with the information we provide in our rating research publications, such as research updates and full analyses. By releasing all scores for public corporate

ratings in LatAm, S&P Global Ratings confirms its commitment to deliver greater transparency and insight into the ratings process and simplify access for all market participants. Ratings are

organized alphabetically by industry sector.

The scores reflect the building blocks of the corporate ratings framework (see chart 1). Modifiers and components related to our group rating methodology or government-related entity

methodology are indicated only where they have a positive or negative effect on the rating.

The report reflects corporate credit ratings and scores as of Oct. 31, 2020. This document will not be updated for future rating actions or score revisions. To keep it concise, the list only

discloses scores for the main rated entity of larger corporate groups. We omit certain entities such as subsidiaries or holding companies where the ratings are linked to those on their parent

companies. In this report, we highlight changes since Jan. 6, 2020.

An Excel copy of the company scores data is embedded in this report (see attachment sidebar).
