標普:港鐵(0066.HK)受疫情等影響 信用評級面臨巨大壓力
評級機構標準普爾表示,由於新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情爆發及香港社會運動的餘震,港鐵(0066.HK)的個體信用評級(SACP)今年面臨巨大壓力。兩項因素影響了去年及今年的香港過境人數及零售市場。機構估計,港鐵的運營資金與債務比例可能從去年的30%至32%,降至今年的15%至20%。
機構又預計,港鐵可能面臨經常性現金流量的大幅下降,預計今年香港的總收入到按年下跌近10%。同時認為,一旦疫情在香港受控,旅客數量將會恢復。
標普又認為,若港鐵違反與政府就沙中線簽訂的工程協議,或被追討高達79億港元的項目管理費,或將進一步削弱信貸指標,超出最新估計。另外,港鐵或繼續其資本支出,主要用於其香港物業租賃業務,因為該業務依靠租金現金流來支持鐵路的維護和升級。機構估計,公司今年的資本開支為140億至150億港元,其中50億至60億港元用於投資物業。
