Latest Update Standard & Poor's
February 2024 - Standard & Poor's upgrades from 'B' to 'B+' rating with a positive outlook.
The rating upgrade is based on higher revenue and reduced leverage of the group and reflects S&P’s view that TUI is in a good position to recover passenger levels and customer reach above 2019 levels. Furthermore, S&P acknowledges TUI’s strategic initiatives as margin accretive.
The positive outlook reflects S&P‘s forecast for significantly improved credit metrics in 2024 and 2025, due to a margin improvement in the group's markets and airlines segments, and a solid recovery in TUI's cruise JV, which leads S&P to the conclusion that dividend payments by the JV could support the group's profitability and cash flow from fiscal 2025 onwards.
