On Friday 22, August 2025, following H1’25 results publication, S&P Global Ratings has taken the action to downgrade Worldline rating. „S&P Global Ratings’ adjusted long-term credit rating of Worldline is at BB with a negative outlook (from BBB-, negative outlook) and short-term credit rating at B (from A-3)” – according to the press release.
Worldline has taken note of this decision and would like to point out that:
. This decision has no impact on its current funding, debt maturities and marginal cost impact
. 2025/2026 refinancing needs are already fully addressed
. S&P continues to consider the liquidity profile as „exceptional”
As mentioned by S&P Global Ratings: “Worldline will maintain a unique market position within the growing payment industry, underpinned by its broad geographic diversification, leading market positions, comprehensive product portfolio spanning the full value chain, proprietary intellectual property, investments in new technologies, and strong, long-term customer relationships.” The full report is available on S&P Global Ratings’ website.
