Safehold Receives Credit Ratings Upgrade to A- From Fitch
NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Safehold Inc. (the "Company" or "Safehold") (NYSE: SAFE) announced today that Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") has upgraded its credit ratings on the Company to A- from BBB+, with a stable outlook. Fitch is also assigning an A- rating and stable outlook to the Company's operating subsidiary, Safehold GL Holdings LLC.
纽约，2024年12月18日 /PRNewswire/ -- Safehold Inc.（"公司"或"Safehold"）（纽交所代码：SAFE）今天宣布，惠誉评级（"惠誉"）已将公司的信用评级从BBB+上调至A-，并给予稳定展望。惠誉还对公司的运营子公司Safehold GL Holdings LLC赋予A-评级和稳定展望。
"This ratings upgrade is a strong result for the Company, and we appreciate Fitch's recognition of the significant steps we have taken to build a best-in-class credit profile, emphasizing high quality assets, stable funding sources and conservative leverage," said Brett Asnas, Chief Financial Officer. "We expect having 'A' ratings from two major agencies will drive better cost and access to capital, benefitting both shareholders and customers."
"这次评级上调对公司来说是一个重要成果，我们感谢惠誉对我们为建立一流信用档案所采取的重要步骤的认可，强调高质量资产、稳定的资金来源和保守的杠杆率，"首席财务官Brett Asnas说。"我们预计拥有两家主要机构的'A'评级将推动更好的成本和资本获取，从而惠及股东和客户。"
Fitch cited the rationale behind the ratings upgrade in their report: "The upgrade reflects SAFE's focus on the relatively low-risk ground lease asset class, characterized by growing, long-dated revenue streams and significant overcollateralization; expanded use of unsecured debt as a proportion of total debt; improved portfolio diversity; strong asset quality performance; low leverage; solid dividend coverage and an experienced management team."
惠誉在其报告中指出评级上调的理由："此次上调反映了SAFE关注相对低风险的土地租赁资产类别，该类别的特点是收入来源持续增长、期限较长且有显著的超额担保；以无担保债务的比例扩展为总债务的一部分；改善的投资组合多样性；强劲的资产质量表现；低杠杆；丰厚的股息保障以及经验丰富的管理团队。"
