S&P have confirmed emh’s rating is staying as 'A' with a stable outlook. Geoff Clarke, Exec Director of Finance, said he is delighted with the outcome which is a result of colleagues, across the business, having an awareness of costs and associated risks within key areas of the organisation. S&P’s rationale for the decision is that:
"The rating affirmation reflects our view that emh's prudent cost planning and improvement in economic conditions will help to stabilise financial metrics despite increased investments in existing homes. We acknowledge the group has a solid assessment of its stock condition and has secured grant funding to perform the necessary works. We also think group's proactive approach in securing development grants will partly lower borrowing needs, preventing debt metrics from weakening."
