Ferrovial Reports Robust Financial Results for H1 2025
Ferrovial, a global leader in infrastructure development, has showcased a formidable performance in the first half of 2025. The company experienced an impressive net profit surge of 30%, totaling €540 million. This strong growth trajectory underlines Ferrovial's effective strategies and resilience in a competitive market.
Revenue and EBITDA Growth
In H1 2025, Ferrovial achieved a remarkable increase in both revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The company's adjusted EBITDA reached €655 million, reflecting a 9.2% rise compared to the previous year. The overall revenue climbed to €4.5 billion, marking a 5% uptick, driven primarily by significant gains in various sectors, particularly highway operations.
Thriving Highways Division
The highways segment demonstrated robust performance, contributing to the overall success. Revenue within this division ascended by 14.9% to €676 million, largely fueled by excellent growth in market demand. Notably, U.S. Express Lanes reported exceptional revenue per transaction, considerably outpacing inflation, showcasing their competitive edge.
Construction Order Book Sets New Records
In a commendable feat, Ferrovial’s construction order book soared to an all-time high of €17.3 billion. This achievement reflects the company's strategic focus on capturing opportunities across different markets, particularly in North America, which alone represented 45% of the order intake. The division's adjusted EBIT margin improved to 3.5%, aligning with the long-term goals set by the company.
Strengthening Financial Position
By the end of the first half, Ferrovial maintained a robust financial standing, boasting a liquidity of €3.7 billion and a consolidated net debt of -€223 million, which represents a positive cash position when accounting for infrastructure projects. The strategic divestment of a 50% stake in AGS Airports for €533 million, along with dividends received from various projects, bolstered this strong liquidity. Investments also included a 5.06% stake acquisition in the 407 ETR for €1.3 billion, showcasing Ferrovial’s proactive investment strategies.
Airports Division Progress
In the Airports sector, the New Terminal One (NTO) project is progressing well, achieving 72% completion. As of late July, NTO secured numerous airline agreements, further consolidating its market presence. The completion of the refinancing process through green bonds worth around USD 1.4 billion is a testament to Ferrovial's commitment to sustainable financing and operational excellence.
Future Prospects and Continuing Growth
Looking ahead, Ferrovial anticipates sustained growth due to an attractive pipeline of North American projects. CEO Ignacio Madridejos expressed optimism about the company's potential to deliver value to all stakeholders. The focused investment approach aims to enhance operational efficiency and meet the evolving needs of customers across various sectors.
Conference Call Announcement
