Moody’s Ratings announced that it has upgraded THEA's credit rating from A2 to A1, citing strong financial performance and transparency into its capital program.

Moody’s cited THEA’s robust financial profile, proven capital plan ex*****on, and strong asset condition as key drivers of the upgrade. Consistent revenue performance and growth, driven by steady demand for the essential service THEA provides through its operation of the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway system, was also noted. THEA has demonstrated its ability to advance its $767.7 million six-year work program largely through operating cash flow and reserves, reflecting THEA’s disciplined financial stewardship. Moody’s also recognized THEA’s low levels of deferred maintenance and strong track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.

Thank you to our team for your discipline and hard work!
