Investor relations
Our business plan has strong growth ambitions, which will be managed through a prudent framework for planning and decision making, provided through a set of agreed ‘financial golden rules’. These are designed to recognise business risks and govern our operating margins, net debt/turnover, sales as a percentage of turnover and social housing interest cover.
The business plan is also regularly stress-tested, both on single variant scenarios as well as more intense ‘multi-variant’ scenarios.
Beyond Housing Group strives to maintain diversification in its funding sources. The Group is committed to maintaining a strong investment grade rating and is currently rated by Moody’s as A2 (stable).
Maintaining a strong financial position enables us to continue building the vital homes our communities need and investing in our customers and communities so they can succeed and thrive.
