KEY ASSUMPTIONS Fitch's key assumptions within our rating case for the issuer include: - ART completes its announced acquisitions as planned in 2H17 - Revenue growth of around 11% in 2017 and 103% in 2018 mostly led by the announced acquisitions - ART will remain acquisitive in line with its track record over the last few years, and maintain portfolio LTV at around 40% - EBITDA margins will remain above 40%, which is driven by a healthy mix of master-leases and management contracts with minimum rent - ART will roll over or replace its perpetual securities with similar instruments or common equity at its first call dates in October 2019 and June 2020 RATING SENSITIVITIES Future Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive Rating Action - We do not expect ART's ratings to be upgraded in the medium term because the demand for its properties is more cyclical than demand for most other mainstream commercial real estate assets such as industrial, retail and office properties, and because ART's revenue visibility is considerably shorter.
