Moody's Raises Cushman & Wakefield's Debt Rating to Ba3 with Stable Outlook

Cushman & Wakefield CWK, a leading global real estate services firm, recently announced that Moody's Investors Service has raised the company's senior secured rating to Ba3, with a stable outlook.

The rating upgrade reflects Cushman & Wakefield's sustained improvement in its leverage metric, as measured by Debt/EBITDA, benefiting primarily from its recapitalization during its Initial Public Offering.

"Our recent Moody's upgrade is further validation of the breadth of our platform, resiliency of our cash flows, strong operating performance and our solid balance sheet with over $1.7 billion of liquidity as of December 31, 2018," said Duncan Palmer, Chief Financial Officer for Cushman & Wakefield.
