Gentera de CV : 09-08-2017 Gentera, announces Fitch Ratings Decision

informs that Banco Compartamos S.A. I.B.M., the main subsidiary of GENTERA, was affirmed today in its Viability Rating (VR), as well as its foreign- and local-currency long and short-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs). Its national scale long- and short-term ratings were also affirmed.

The main action taken by Fitch was the change in the Rating Outlook on the Long-Term IDRs, revised to Stable from Negative.

-Long-term foreign and local currency IDRs at 'BBB', Outlook revised to Stable from Negative;

-Short-term foreign and local currency IDRs at 'F2';

-Viability Rating at 'bbb';

-Support Rating at '5';

-Support Rating Floor at 'NF'.

-National-scale long-term rating at 'AA+(mex)', Outlook Stable;

-National-scale short-term rating at 'F1+(mex)';

-National-scale long-term rating for local issues of senior unsecured debt at 'AA+(mex)'. According to the press report issued earlier today, Fitch stated:

"…Compartamos' IDRs are driven by its stand-alone credit profile as reflected by its VR. The

affirmation of Compartamos' VR and IDRs reflects its leadership in group lending for working capital in Mexico, its gradually increasing franchise and its recognition as a role model in terms of group methodology and performance. The ratings also factor in the concentration of the bank's funding structure, which is mainly wholesale and highly dependent on market debt issuances…"
