The short-term corporate credit rating was raised to 'A-3' from 'B'. The outlook is positive. "The upgrade reflects LE's reduced business risk resulting from the demerger of its higher-risk distribution and generation business in 2002," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Ralf Etzelmueller.

The rating action reflects a successfully completed company restructuring and improved regulatory transparency. At the same time, Standard&amp;Poor's affirmed its double-'B'-plus long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings and its 'B' short-term corporate credit ratings on the company. The ratings on Lietuvos Energija reflect the company's position as the monopoly transmission operator in the Republic of Lithuania (local currency BBB+/Stable/A-2, foreign currency BBB/Stable/A-3), improved regulatory clarity (in terms of future electricity transmission tariffs), and the likelihood of continued support from the state, which owns 85.7% of the company.

At the same time, Standard&amp;Poor's affirmed its double-'B'-plus long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings and its 'B' short-term corporate credit ratings on Lietuvos Energija. By January 2002, Lietuvos Energija had spun-off most of its generation and distribution activities, with the result that the company is now largely a transmission system operator.

The outlook is negative. The affirmation follows the Dec. 16, 1999, decision by the pricing commission to allow Lietuvos Energija an average tariff increase of 18% in 2000. The negative outlook, however, reflects the company's planned restructuring, including a spin off of its stable distribution operations, which is likely to weaken Lietuvos Energija's business position.
