Withdrawal of Credit Rating Coverage by Fitch
Singapore, 29 August 2025 – GLP Pte Ltd (“GLP” and with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) confirms the voluntary withdrawal of credit rating coverage by Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"). At the withdrawal date, GLP was rated BB / Stable, as published in Fitch's 29 August 2025 press release.
This decision reflects a structural mismatch between Fitch’s REIT-based credit assessment methodology and GLP’s evolved business model. Fitch’s framework does not recognize the recurring earnings GLP generates through development gains and strategic capital recycling, which is a significant and consistent part of earnings. Consequently, the Group believes the rating provides an incomplete view of GLP’s financial strength and long-term growth potential.
GLP continues to operate from a position of financial strength:
Balance sheet: Consolidated net leverage remains low at 26%1 as at end-2024
Liquidity: The Group maintains a robust funding position supported by cash on hand, undrawn facilities and identified monetization proceeds sufficient to cover near-term maturities.
Capital access: GLP’s continues to attract high quality institutional capital to fund its growth, exemplified by the recently announced strategic investments from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Zhejiang government-backed investors respectively.
Looking forward, as part of our broader financial strategy, GLP will consider ratings at the business unit level where the rating methodologies are better aligned. GLP remains committed to clear, timely and comprehensive disclosure through regular financial reporting, investor briefings, stakeholder updates and asset tours.
GLP China continues to hold an onshore AAA rating, the highest possible rating in China, from Shanghai Brilliance Credit Rating & Investors.
GLP's sectors remain underpinned by long-term secular growth from robust e-commerce expansion, the global shift towards decarbonization and energy transition, and accelerating demand for data storage driven by cloud adoption and artificial intelligence. Anchored by these trends, GLP will continue to deliver resilient earnings and long-term value creation for our investors, lenders and partners.
