    Creditreform Rating AG assigned the unsolicited corporate issuer rating of Eurogrid GmbH a rating of A with stable outlook. The primary rating driver contributing to this rating result is the fact that Eurogrid GmbH, via 50Hertz Transmission GmbH and 50Hertz Offshore GmbH, operates in a regulated environment, which is supported by a regulatory framework. This enables the Company to generate relatively stable revenues, margins and cash flow. The 80 percent shareholding of Elia Group S.A. has a positive influence on the rating. At the same time, as Elia Group S.A. has a large influence on the Group´s financial and strategic alignment the rating of Eurogrid GmbH is constrained by the rating of Elia Group S.A. The remaining 20 percent are indirectly owned by the German government via the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), which also has a positive influence on the rating. The stable outlook is based on the current business environment and regulatory framework (2019 – 2023), and assumes that the stability and support offered by the regulatory framework continues to be present. However, the new updated investment plan will require significant external financing, which might lead to a deterioration in the financial key figures over the coming years.
