➢ Migliora anche il rating consolidato di Gruppo a BBB- per le performance operative delle principali controllate nel 2023 e nel 2024, per la capacità del Gruppo di raggiungere i propri obiettivi strategici – come l'estensione della vita media ponderata del portafoglio – e per un flusso di dividendi sempre più diversificato.
19 settembre 2025 - Roma. L'agenzia di rating Fitch ha alzato il rating delle obbligazioni di Mundys da BB a BB+, outlook "stabile".
L'agenzia considera il rating BB+ delle obbligazioni di Mundys un notch sotto il rating consolidato di Gruppo, ora a BBB-, per via della subordinazione strutturale.
Secondo l'agenzia, l'upgrade del rating di Mundys riflette la solida performance operativa del portafoglio di asset diversificato del Gruppo nel 2023 e nel 2024, che ha portato a un miglioramento del suo profilo di leva finanziaria. Ciò sottolinea la capacità del Gruppo di raggiungere i propri obiettivi strategici – come l'estensione della vita media ponderata del portafoglio – portando avanti al tempo stesso il processo di riduzione dell'indebitamento. Mundys rimane attiva nelle acquisizioni, principalmente tramite la sua controllata Abertis, ed è sostenuta da un flusso di dividendi sempre più diversificato.
In allegato la nota completa dell'agenzia di rating.

18 SEP 2025
Fitch Ratings - Milan - 18 Sep 2025: Fitch Ratings has upgraded Mundys S.p.A.'s EUR5 billion Euro medium-term programme to 'BB+', from 'BB'. The Outlook is Stable.
The upgrade reflects the robust operating performance of the group's diversified asset portfolio in 2023 and 2024, which led to an improvement in its leverage profile. This underlines the group's ability to achieve its strategic targets - such as extending the portfolio's weighted-average life - without compromising deleveraging. Mundys remains acquisitive, mainly through its subsidiary Abertis Infraestructuras S.A., but is supported by an increasingly diversified dividend stream and potential asset rotation. The updated Fitch rating case projects average proportional consolidated net leverage of around 6.2x, commensurate with the new rating.
Mundys operates more than 50 concessions, predominantly in France, Spain, Italy and Latin America, with a weighted-average life, including recent acquisitions, of about 14 years at end-2024. Its business is well diversified, with toll roads accounting for 83% of consolidated 2024 EBITDA and airports another 13%. The group has a concentration in French toll roads, which accounted for 26% of consolidated EBITDA, despite its geographical diversification.
Most assets are either national networks with no material exposure to competition, such as Sanef's motorway, or strategic assets located in large urban areas or industrial corridors. Traffic is primarily made up of light vehicles, which is more stable. The overall portfolio has a modest 2007-2019 traffic peak-to-trough change of 5% due to its geographical diversification. The group's airports have high exposure to resilient origin-and-destination leisure traffic.
Mundys' concession frameworks are robust and generally track inflation or a portion of it. Some jurisdictions also allow the recovery of capex through tariffs, modestly detaching the group's cash flow generation from traffic volumes. Generally, tariffs have increased regularly. However, fiscal policy changes in France have created uncertainty around the stability of the regulatory environment.
The group's capex plan is manageable and has some flexibility. Mundys is well-equipped to deliver on
its investment programme as it has extensive experience and expertise in implementing investments on time and on budget.
The non-amortising nature of most of Mundys' debt and the lack of material structural protection are weaknesses. However, refinancing risk is mitigated by a well-diversified range of bullet maturities, a proactive and prudent debt management policy and proven access to banks and capital markets, even in uncertain times.
Liquidity for the restricted group, including Mundys, Abertis and Aeroporti di Roma, is adequate. Cash and committed lines cover debt maturities at least until end-2026 under the Fitch rating case.
The Fitch base case projects a decrease in the group's proportional consolidated net leverage to 5.1x by 2029, from 6.3x in 2024, driven by the progressive deleveraging of Abertis and robust cash flow contribution from Aeroporti di Roma and Costanera, the Chilean motorway operator.
The Fitch rating case assumes more cautious operational expansion and lower operating leverage, which will result in proportional consolidated net leverage declining to 6.0x by 2029.
Mundys has common features with France's Vinci SA (A-/Stable). Both are global infrastructure operators with a focus on brownfield toll road, airport concessions and resilient traffic profiles due to their diversification, which is reflected in their 'Stronger' volume risk assessment.
Vinci also shares similar pricing systems across different jurisdictions and senior unsecured bullet debt structure to Mundys. Both have balance-sheet flexibility. Nevertheless, Vinci's much lower projected leverage of less than 3.0x places its rating in the 'A' category, although exposure to the construction and energy-transition businesses results in tighter rating sensitivities than for a pure concessionaire.
A material increase in Mundys' debt from our expectation, deterioration in the company's liquidity to below the next 12 months of debt maturities or a reduction in group balance-sheet flexibility could lead to a widening of the notching on its notes rating from the consolidated group credit assessment.
Proportional consolidated net leverage above 6.5x on a sustained basis under Fitch rating case may lead to a negative rating action. Fitch may tighten this sensitivity and the associated debt capacity if the business risk profile or average concession tenor adversely changes.
We rate Mundys' debt on the basis of the group's proportional consolidation, by considering its majority stakes and operational control over its subsidiaries. Further, we assess the company's access to the cash flow generation of most subsidiaries through control of their dividend and financial policies and, therefore, its ability to re-leverage these assets, if needed. Abertis is included on a proportional consolidated basis, in line with Mundys' 50% equity stake.
We rate Mundys' debt one notch below the proportional consolidated credit profile given its structural subordination to subsidiaries' debt.
Good financial flexibility and reasonable liquidity mitigate the high leverage at the company and the restrictions embedded in Abertis's governance.
The principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG issues are credit neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

Please read these limitations and disclaimers by following this link: https://www.fitchratings.com/ understandingcreditratings. In addition, the following https://www.fitchratings.com/rating-definitionsdocument details Fitch's rating definitions for each rating scale and rating categories, including definitions relating to default. ESMA and the FCA are required to publish historical default rates in a central repository in accordance with Articles 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 and The Credit Rating Agencies (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 respectively.
Published ratings, criteria, and methodologies are available from this site at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance, and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the Code of Conduct section of this site. Directors and shareholders' relevant interests are available at https://www.fitchratings.com/site/regulatory. Fitch may have provided another permissible or ancillary service to the rated entity or its related third parties. Details of permissible or ancillary service(s) for which the lead analyst is based in an ESMA- or FCA-registered Fitch Ratings company (or branch of such a company) can be found on the entity summary page for this issuer on the Fitch Ratings website.
In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon
by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed. Fitch Ratings makes routine, commonly-accepted adjustments to reported financial data in accordance with the relevant criteria and/or industry standards to provide financial metric consistency for entities in the same sector or asset class.
The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA' to 'D'. Fitch also provides information on best-case rating upgrade scenarios and worst-case rating downgrade scenarios (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in each direction) for international credit ratings, based on historical performance. A simple average across asset classes presents best-case upgrades of 4 notches and worst-case downgrades of 8 notches at the 99th percentile. For more details on sector-specific best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings, please see Best- and Worst-Case Measures under the Rating Performance page on Fitch's website.
The information in this report is provided "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A
report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US\$1,000 to US\$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US\$10,000 to US\$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction.
