Debt investors

We maintain a diversified debt funding structure, with a mix of bond and bank facilities and a balanced maturity profile. We access debt capital markets regularly and our bank facilities have a good strategic and geographic fit with our business. We also aim to maintain a prudent level of headroom in cash and on undrawn bank facilities to cover forecast borrowings.

  • We balance the interests of both our equity and debt stakeholders.
  • We target an equity-to-receivables ratio of 40%.
  • We manage liquidity requirements by maintaining prudent headroom over forecast borrowings.
  • We ensure that our debt maturity profile is materially longer than our receivables maturity profile.
  • We fund our operating businesses in the currency of the market where each one operates.
  • We actively manage interest rate and currency risks.
  • We ensure access to multiple funding sources – we have three distinct bond markets and a mix of international and local banks funding our operating businesses.

Total debt facilities

At 31 December 2025, we had £750m of debt facilities in place.

Our treasury policies address the key treasury risks that the business faces. The policies are designed to provide robust risk management, even in more volatile financial markets and economic conditions within our planning horizon. In addition to these policies, our operational procedures and controls ensure that funds are available in the right currency at the right time to serve our customers throughout the Group.

Funding policy

  • Ensure a resilient funding position for existing business and future growth to be maintained. 
  • Maintain a prudent level of headroom on undrawn bank facilities. 

Currency policy 

  • Ensure funding of receivables portfolios with local currency borrowings (directly or indirectly) to achieve a high level of balance sheet hedging. 
  • We do not hedge the translational risk of foreign currency movements on accounting profits and losses. 

Interest rate policy

  • Significant portion of financial liabilities at fixed interest rates.

Counterparty policy 

  • Requires material exposures to financial counterparties to be limited to BBB-rated entities as a minimum.
