A.M. BEST DOWNGRADES RATINGS OF DTRIC INSURANCE COMPANY, LIMITED

HONG KONG, May 30 -- (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has downgraded the financial strength rating to A- (Excellent) from A (Excellent) and the issuer credit ratings to “a-” from “a” of DTRIC Insurance Company, Limited (DTRIC) and its reinsured affiliate, DTRIC Insurance Underwriters, Limited. The outlook for each rating has been revised to stable from negative. Both companies are domiciled in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The rating downgrades reflect the continued deterioration in the company’s risk-adjusted capitalization over the past three years, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, and the historical volatility in its operating performance. The ratings reflect the implicit and explicit support provided by its major shareholder, Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Company Limited (ADI), which owns approximately 75% of DTRIC’s shares. ADI provides a wide range of support by developing DTRIC’s auto insurance business through Toyota dealers, participating in DTRIC’s reinsurance arrangements, helping the company enhance its enterprise risk management scheme and providing a financial guarantee.
