Fitch upgrades JDE Peet’s to BBB; Outlook Stable

PRESS RELEASE



Amsterdam, 30 March 2023

JDE Peet’s (EURONEXT: JDEP), the world’s leading pure-play coffee and tea company by revenue, today announced that Fitch Ratings has upgraded the company’s credit rating from ‘BBB-‘ to ‘BBB’ with a stable outlook. This upgrade underscores the company’s operating strength, strong financial structure and financial discipline.

In its release, Fitch noted: “The upgrade reflects the company’s recent de-leveraging and Fitch’s confidence that management will continue to meet its conservative net debt/EBITDA target of about 2.5x. The rating reflects JDEP’s strong market position in the global coffee industry with strong and broadly stable profitability, supported by the sector’s low price elasticity and the potential for further premiumisation of the company’s products. This combines with low capex requirements and dividend distributions to allow for consistently high free cash flow, providing good financial flexibility. Good diversification by pricing points, product and channel mix mitigate risks related to concentration on a single coffee category.
