Credit Methodology

S & P Type Model
Dominion Energy's credit estimate model serves to approximate the ratings that the evaluated entity would likely receive from Standard and Poor's (AAA, AA, A, etc). This process is completed through selecting financial ratios the Company believes are most indicative of the credit quality, and also the S & P rating of the firm. The first ratio used is the funds from operations to debt ratio. This ratio describes what portion of the firm's liabilities could be recovered from funds provided from the normal course of business over a twelve month period. The second ratio used is the funds from operations interest coverage ratio. This ratio describes how much in excess of the firm's interest obligations is earned in the normal course of business. The third ratio is the total debt to total capital ratio. This ratio is used to provide a measure of the firm’s leverage. For a given downturn in business activity, a firm with higher leverage will have a greater probability of defaulting on their obligations than a less leveraged firm.

The Company's method of calculation is to assign an S & P rating to each ratio calculated. This is done by matching the computed ratio to the average ratio of a firm's peers in each S & P rating grade. The next step is to calculate the Company's rating estimate using a weighted average of all the ratings estimates. The ratio the Company believes is most indicative of credit quality is the funds from operations interest coverage ratio. This ratio receives a 40% weighting in the calculation. The Company believes the other two ratios are slightly less indicative of credit quality, they each receive a 30% weighting in the calculation.
