Ferrovial has signed two new framework contracts with European Agency Fusion for Energy (F4E) to develop the electrical and civil engineering works for ITER, the biggest international scientific project in the field of fusion energy, under construction in France. These agreements reinforce the company’s position as a strategic partner for the innovative project, in which the company will participate in two works budgeted at 130.7 million euro. Ferrovial, in consortium with the French Groupe SNEF, is the preferred bidder among the two consortia that were short-listed to complete the installation of the ancillary electrical system for the ITER Tokamak complex, the building that will house the device. The 117.5-million-euro electrical engineering contract is made up by different task orders that F4E is assigning to the two selected consortia in Tender Batch 21 (TB21) lot 1 frame. Ferrovial has already been awarded the only task order published to date to install the cabling in the ITER galleries, with a budget of 7 million euro. Future task orders will cover the design, manufacturing and supply of power cables, communications cables and load centers, the development of fire protection systems, sub-distribution boards, and busbars.
Ferrovial, through its Polish construction subsidiary Budimex, and its partners within the ERB Rail joint venture, have laid the foundation stone in Latvia for the 3.7 billion euro Rail Baltica high-speed line, a key project for Europe’s railway interconnections. The ERB Rail JV, composed of Budimex S.A. (Poland), Eiffage Génie Civil SAS (France), and Rizzani de Eccher S.p.A (Italy), will build 175 engineering structures and 11 wildlife crossings on a railway line approximately 220 kilometers long. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in Riga and was attended by representatives of the European Commission and international partners from France, Italy, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia. During the ceremony, a time capsule was buried at the initial site to symbolize the commitment to future generations. This high-speed line will be a key driver for the development of transportation in the Baltic region. It will not only improve connectivity in Europe but will also boost economic growth and social cohesion throughout the area. The first part of the work will be carried out in the Bauska region of Latvia, where Rail Baltica’s maintenance center will be located. This will serve as the base from which the main line will be built, connecting with the existing rail network to maximize the use of rail for transporting materials and machinery.

Ferrovial, a leading global infrastructure company, today announced Q1 results for the first time after being listed simultaneously in Spain, the Netherlands and the U.S. Adjusted EBITDA amounted €254 million in in the first quarter of 2024, a 37.6% like-for-like growth versus Q1 2023, due to the solid growth of the Toll Roads and Construction divisions. Revenue increased by 3.5% in like-for-like terms to €1.9 billion in the period. “Once again, the first quarter results reflect the strong performance of our key infrastructure assets, particularly in the United States. Revenues from our Express Lanes grew above inflation and GDP, demonstrating the value we bring to travelers with faster and less congested highways,” said Ferrovial CEO Ignacio Madridejos. “Listing on the U.S. stock market gives us access to greater financial resources, enabling new development opportunities to continue providing critical infrastructure to communities, helping them to flourish as their populations grow.” Ferrovial ended the first quarter with a solid financial position, with high liquidity levels reaching €4.9 billion and consolidated net debt of €-667 million, excluding infrastructure projects in both cases. During the period, cash consumption was driven by shareholder remuneration (€254 million) and investments, including equity contributions in New Terminal One at JFK International Airport and the investment in AGS following its debt facility refinancing.
