1 November 2023

Moody's credit ratings update

Moody's Investors Service have affirmed the credit rating of Flagship Housing Group Limited and Flagship Finance PLC at A2 and revised the outlook from negative to stable.

With a gradual decrease in inflation, Moody's expect housing association income to exceed cost growth, supporting operating margins and interest coverage ratios in the medium term, underpinning the revised outlook. The outlook also reflects important actions undertaken by Flagship Group, within the sector regulatory framework, to maintain healthy levels of liquidity and mitigate the adverse impact of the challenging operating environment, including active mitigation of its sales market exposure. These actions create a strong operating environment for Flagship Group to continue to deliver growth.
