SES Obtains BBB Credit Rating by Fitch
March 11 2022 - 9:29AM
Business Wire
SES S.A. announced today that Fitch Ratings assigned a Long-Term
Issuer Default Rating and senior unsecured rating of ‘BBB’ with a
stable outlook. Fitch has also assigned SES’s subordinated hybrid
securities a rating of ‘BB+’. The rating, according to Fitch,
reflects SES’s leading position in the global satellite sector,
strong underlying free cash flow and financial flexibility.
Consistent with the group’s policy to attain, and retain a
credit rating from at least two rating agencies, SES has decided to
withdraw its ratings from S&P Global, with immediate effect.
SES’s financial policy remains unchanged with a commitment to
investment grade and an objective of a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA
ratio below 3.3x.
The full credit rating report is available on the Fitch Ratings
website.
Sandeep Jalan, Chief Financial Officer of SES, commented, “We
are delighted to initiate a rating with Fitch, which recognises
SES’s strong business profile. We are committed to maintaining a
strong balance sheet while continuing to pursue our strategy to
grow our footprint and leadership in the global satellite
sector.”
