GOLDSTORY is proud to announce the upgrade of Standard&Poors Global long-term rating to B+ with stable outlook based on stronger credit metrics. This upgrade demonstrates that the Group has “historically demonstrated strong deleveraging capacities despite regular dividend recaps, regardless” of the market context and that Goldstory’s halfyear results point toward a structural uplift in revenue and EBITDA compared with pre-pandemic levels”. At the same time, the issue rating on the group’s senior secured notes was raised to ‘B+’ from ‘B’ and on its super senior revolving credit facility (RCF) to ‘BB’ from ‘BB-’.
