EssilorLuxottica aims at maintaining continuous liquidity in order to ensure its independence and growth through significant and steady cash flows. The group also observes some liquidity principles aiming at securing funding availability at all times at the lowest possible costs. This principle relies upon the diversification of funding sources, the use of medium and long-term financings, the distribution of maturities over time, the recourse to credit facilities and the use of liquidity reserves.
Funding principles
- Liquidity management is centralized at the level of the group parent company.
- Source of funding diversification is the cornerstone of liquidity policy.
Rating
Maintaining a strong credit rating is the best way to provide an access to a wide range of funding sources. EssilorLuxottica credit ratings are based on the assessment of its credit profile and its ability to repay its debt by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. These ratings are purely indicative and may be modified at any time.
