Creation of new financing structure marks
conclusion of period of work to embed public
interest in Anglian Water which began in 2018
Articles of Association change in 2019 set the
agenda for others to follow
New structure will reduce gearing in Anglian Water
Services, enabling us to retain strong credit ratings
and borrow at competitive rates to finance
investments for the long-term benefit of our
customers and our region
The Board of Anglian Water, in conjunction with its pension fund-backed
shareholders (First State Investments, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board,
IFM Investors, Dalmore Capital and GLIL Infrastructure), is announcing a series of
financial and corporate initiatives to improve transparency, trust and customer
confidence.
Anglian Water will:
Improve transparency and clarity of its financial structures
It will significantly speed up the removal of its Cayman Islands subsidiary.
It will repay an inter-company loan to simplify the presentation of its accounts
(particularly around real dividends), aiming to complete this by the end of this Financial
Year.
Place public interest at the heart of the business
It will work with Ofwat on proposals to ensure it can be held to account for acting in the
public interest.
Make an additional investment commitment to 2020
It will invest an extra £65m in resilience schemes not included in the company's original
plan, by 2020. This will improve the region's ability to deal with drought and flooding and
will be paid for through a reduction in dividends to shareholders.
Reduce dividends and borrowings through to 2025
It will reduce dividends through to 2025, resulting in a significant reduction in the
company's level of debt and gearing.
