Verisure assigned its first investment grade rating by Fitch
16 June 2026, Geneva, Switzerland - Verisure plc (“Verisure”, the “Company”), the world’s leading provider of professionally monitored security services by customers served, is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) has assigned Verisure Midholding AB a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of BBB- with a Stable Outlook, marking Verisure’s first investment grade issuer rating from a major global rating agency.
The investment grade rating represents an important milestone for Verisure and additional validation of continued strengthening of the Company’s financial profile, as well as the resilience and quality of its business model.
In its rating assessment, Fitch highlighted the strength of Verisure's highly recurrent subscription-based revenue base, significant market position and scale, headroom for further market expansion and improving free cash flow generation. Fitch’s Stable Outlook reflects its expectation of continued strong organic growth, structurally positive free cash flow and reducing leverage.
Colin Smith, Verisure Chief Financial Officer, said: “Fitch’s investment grade rating is a significant step for Verisure that reflects our continued growth and commitment to financial discipline. We are proud of our progress in delivering quality growth, while also strengthening our balance sheet as we give our customers peace of mind by protecting what matters most to them.”
The investment grade rating is expected to further enhance Verisure’s financial flexibility and support the Company’s continued focus on optimising its capital structure and cost of debt.
Verisure continues to monitor conditions in the debt capital markets with a view to refinancing its remaining approximately €1 billion of senior unsecured debt, subject to market conditions, in order to further optimise its cost of debt and maturity profile.
Fitch has also assigned a BBB- rating to Verisure Holding AB’s senior secured debt instruments. The Company’s existing senior unsecured notes have been assigned a BB+ rating.
