Moody’s affirms Hoist Finance’s Baa2 long-term issuer rating, outlook changed to positive

Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) yesterday affirmed all the ratings and assessments of Hoist Finance AB (publ), whilst also changing the outlook on the Group’s long-term issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings to positive (from stable).

Moody’s writes that the positive outlook on Hoist Finance’s long-term issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings reflects the Group’s significant improvement in recurring profitability, which could drive an upgrade if sustained over the coming 12 to 18 months while capitalisation remains sound, and provided that there is an ongoing stability in management and board composition.

Hoist Finance’s CEO, Harry Vranjes, comments: “I see the rating upgrade from Moody’s last year, and yesterday’s change of outlook from stable to positive, as reflecting the success of our continued work to build a continuously stronger and more stable Hoist Finance. As we progress on our journey towards becoming the leading NPL asset manager in Europe, maintaining our Investment Grade-rating is a key pillar of our funding strategy.”
