Mar, 25, 2025 Posted by Denise VileraWeek 202512
Fitch Ratings, one of the world’s leading credit rating agencies, has assigned VLI, a logistics solutions company operating railways, ports, and terminals, a long-term national rating of “AAA” with a “stable” outlook. According to the agency, this rating is based on “VLI’s solid business profile, which stands out due to its diversified and complementary asset base, significant scale, and strong competitive position.” The assessment highlights that the company is expected to maintain robust operational cash flow, low leverage, and healthy liquidity.
“This recognition from Fitch Ratings attests to the consistency of our strategy, which combines infrastructure investments with operational efficiency and financial discipline. The triple-A rating confirms our ability to generate value for our customers, shareholders, and the country, driving the development of Brazilian logistics and the economy,” said Fábio Marchiori, CEO of VLI.
VLI has a solid business profile, supported by a portfolio of 14 key assets operating across Brazil’s North, Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest regions. The company integrates port and rail operations with high synergy, ensuring resilient demand across economic cycles. VLI’s net leverage is expected to remain below 2.0 times EBITDA, even amid a high investment cycle planned for the coming years.
