S&P Rating Action
S&P upgrades the rating from BBB- to BBB with a stable outlook strengthening Indigo Group's position in the Investment Grade category
On 05 May 2023, S&P Global Ratings upgraded Indigo Group's rating from BBB- to BBB with a stable outlook, strengthening Indigo Group's position in the Investment Grade category. This rating upgrade reflects the strong resilience of the Indigo's assets portfolio and supports the strategic plan implemented since the beginning of the pandemic. It also highlights the prudent financial policy, both in terms of net debt management and dividends policy.
As a result, the Group managed to exceed S&P's forecasts for 2022 published on 07 July 2022, both in terms of adjusted FFO1[1]/net debt and net debt/EBITDA ratios and in terms of traffic recovery, thanks notably to its sectorial and geographical diversity, the tariff indexation mechanisms of its contracts and the optimization of its costs.
The Group will continue to implement a prudent financial policy, both in terms of investments to seize future opportunities and in terms of financial leverage to maintain a strong Investment Grade rating.
The full S&P Global Ratings rating is available at Credit Rating.
