Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE)

Pfizer Inc. (PFE): A.M. Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A (Excellent) and the issuer credit rating of “a+” of Blue Whale Re Ltd. (Blue Whale) (Burlington, VT). The outlook for both ratings is stable.

The ratings reflect Blue Whale`s strong capitalization and conservative operating strategy. The ratings also consider the corporation`s critical and central role and favorable profile as part of the Pfizer Group, as well as the excellent performance of its operations. Partially offsetting these positive rating factors are Blue Whale`s very large gross and net underwriting exposures to property losses and its dependence on reinsurance.

Blue Whale is a single parent captive of Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) [NYSE:PFE], a leading global pharmaceutical corporation. As Blue Whale (re)insures Pfizer`s global property exposures, it plays an important role in Pfizer`s overall enterprise risk administration and assumes a critical role in protecting the Pfizer Group`s assets. Thus, Blue Whale benefits from Pfizer Group`s extensive risk administration and loss control programs.

Blue Whale operates at conservative underwriting leverage levels; however, it provides coverages with extremely large limits, and its gross exposures per loss occurrence are elevated. Although Blue Whale benefits from reinsurance protection, its net retentions remain very substantial. Reinsurance is offered by a large panel of reinsurers, and Blue Whale relies on noteworthy capacity to be able to support its obligations. As such, it is heavily dependent on reinsurance. Nevertheless, A.M. Best recognizes the quality of the reinsurers and the substantial financial resources and support accessible to the captive as part of the Pfizer Group.

Positive rating actions could occur if there is a sustainable and long-term improvement in the operating performance and capital strength of Blue Whale and Pfizer. Conversely, negative rating actions could occur as a result of material operational and performance issues at both Blue Whale and Pfizer. Rating pressure would be likely if there were any adverse changes to many of the regulatory standards to which Pfizer adheres. The potential for future attainments, the associated integration risks and corporation profile changes could lead to both positive and/or negative pressure on the ratings, depending on the attainment details.

A.M. Best remains the leading rating agency of alternative risk transfer entities, with more than 200 such vehicles rated in the United States and throughout the world.
