Standard & Poor's downgrades the outlook on Icade's long-term credit rating (BBB+) from stable to negative and revises the Group's target ratios

S&P Global has today announced that it has downgraded the outlook on Icade's long-term credit rating (BBB+) from 'stable' to 'negative' due to increasing pressure on the Property Development business and a larger-than-expected adjustment in the valuation of the Commercial Property Investment Division's assets.

S&P Global has also revised Icade's financial ratio thresholds for a BBB+ rating and set the following targets:

  • a debt-to-capital ratio below 40% (vs. "towards 35%" previously), factoring in the positive influence of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, Icade's leading shareholder with a 39.2% stake as of December 31, 2023;

  • a debt-to-EBITDA ratio below 8.5x (unchanged);

  • an ICR above 3.8x (unchanged).

Icade notes these adjustments and reaffirms its commitment to maintaining a rigorous and prudent financial policy which is one of the pillars of ReShapE, the new Strategic Plan for 2024-2028 presented on February 19, 2024.
