S&P Ratings Action

Thames Water Utilities Finance plc ("TWUF" or the "Company") notes the rating downgrades published today by Standard & Poor's ("S&P"). S&P has downgraded its Class A debt rating to BB and its Class B debt rating to B. These ratings have a negative outlook.

Increasing our financial resilience and securing an investible PR24 determination is a critical priority for the business. In the meantime, it's business as usual for our customers and our teams on the ground who will continue to supply our services and remain focused on the delivery of our turnaround plan.
