ACL Cables PLC, the No.1 cable company in Sri Lanka has once again showcased its strong financial position and brand equity achieving (SL) A+ stable credit rating for the fourth consecutive year according to ICRA Lanka’s recently published rating outlook.

Impressively, ACL Cables became the only cable manufacturer in the local industry to register an A+ credit rating, demonstrating the company’s stability and credit worthiness amidst challenging business environments.

ACL Cables PLC registered revenues of Rs. 18.8 billion as a group for the financial year ended in March 2020. A profit-after-tax of Rs. 1 billion was also recorded as a group. This was a 64% increase in comparison to the previous year.

ICRA Lanka is a fully owned subsidiary of ICRA Limited of India. The ultimate parent company of the international credit rating agency, Moody’s Investors Service, is the indirect majority shareholder of ICRA.

Suren Madanayake, Managing Director ACL Cables PLC said, “We are pleased with the latest credit rating published by ICRA Lanka. Moreover, this is a remarkable achievement since this is the fourth consecutive year for us to post an (SL) A+ credit rating. This proves our corporate and financial strength even amidst challenging and volatile conditions. I believe that this will create further business confidence in ACL Cables amongst our shareholders, customers and all stakeholders. Additionally, this milestone is also noteworthy as we are the only cable company to register such an achievement. I like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed towards this task and invite them to stay partnered with ACL in years to come, enjoying the success we have achieved together.”
