    BOGOTA, Colombia, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL, NYSE:EC, the ", Company", ) informs that on June 27, 2025, the credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings downgraded Ecopetrol's global credit rating from BB+ to BB and maintained the negative outlook. This action is aligned with the downgrade of the Republic of Colombia's sovereign rating on June 26, 2025. Additionally, the agency affirmed Ecopetrol's Stand-Alone Credit Profile (SACP) at bb+.

    Ecopetrol Logo.

    In its report, S&P stated that Ecopetrol's global rating was adjusted in line with Colombia's sovereign rating and remains capped by it, due to the Company's significance in national revenue generation, its status as a government-related entity, and its role in the country's energy transition. The negative outlook on Ecopetrol reflects the sovereign's outlook.

    Regarding the stand-alone rating, the agency expects Ecopetrol to maintain its leverage ratio (debt/EBITDA) between 2.0x and 2.5x, with an EBITDA margin close to 40%. S&P also positively highlighted the Company's 2040 strategy, which focuses on growth prospects, reserve replacement, high operational availability of refineries, and strengthening the investment portfolio through business diversification.

    The full report issued by the agency on June 27, 2025, announcing the rating action, can be accessed in the link below:
