Definition of the RM Rating
Companies are rated in six levels, A, B, C, D, E, and F (* nine levels including subdivisions). It is a unique credit management index supported by bankruptcy records.
Companies with an A rating have a lower probability of bankruptcy, in other words, they are unlikely to go bankrupt. Companies with an F rating have a higher
probability of bankruptcy, in other words, they are likely to go bankrupt.

Logic on Calculating the RM Rating
One of the major features of the RM Rating is that, in addition to making changes by regularly updating data, analysts continue to make corrections on them by collecting and analyzing daily credit information. Since our logic on examination is reviewed twice a year to match the trends in bankruptcies and economic and social conditions, member companies can always confirm the up-to-date index.
Main Analysis 1 Analysis on the creditworthiness of the subject company
We score the data on each of the subject companies based on its management base, profitability, and financial base, and distinguish the company if it is close to
bankruptcy or far from it.
Main Analysis ２ Comparison with bankrupted companies in the past
We develop patterns from the characteristics of company data that appear commonly in about 800,000 companies bankrupted in the past and compare them with the
data on the subject company. We set the rating so that if the company data pattern is close to the pattern of the bankrupted companies, we lower the rating, and
conversely, if the pattern is far from it, we raise the rating.
We conduct multifaceted analyses with items, such as scale, revenue base, capital, financial base, openness, and credit trends.
Main Analysis 3 Timely credit information analyses on the subject companies
Corporate data turn into past information once it becomes data. On the other hand, however, companies are "living things"; their creditworthiness changes day by day. We collect various special and uncertainty information every day, and our specialized analysts analyze it to make timely corrections on ratings and to evaluate the latest creditworthiness.
