Segmental Performance
The highways segment was a key driver of growth, with revenue increasing by 13.7% like-for-like, driven by a strong double-digit growth from U.S. assets, particularly the 407 ETR, which saw traffic increase by 6.1% and revenue grow 17.8% year-over-year. The construction order book reached a new all-time high of EUR 17.4 billion, with almost 50% coming from North America.
Cash Flow and Dividend
The company closed the year with a solid cash position, with negative net debt excluding infra projects of $1.3 billion, supported by record dividends received from infra assets and proceeds from divestments. Ferrovial returned EUR 156 million in cash and repurchased shares totaling EUR 501 million to shareholders, and proposes a dividend of EUR 1 billion, representing a EUR 400 million top-up from previous years.
Valuation and Outlook
With a P/E Ratio of 50.61 and an EV/EBITDA of 25.69, the market appears to be pricing in significant growth expectations. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 4.7%. The company's growing presence in the North American market and investor confidence in its long-term strategy are reflected in its U.S. listing in 2024 and joining the NASDAQ-100 Index in December. Ferrovial's financial results were driven by the sale of 19.75% of Heathrow in 2024 and the divestment of AGS and Heathrow in 2025.
Operational Highlights
The New Terminal One at JFK Airport progressed towards operational readiness, with 82% construction progress as of the end of the year. The company expects continued growth supported by a record pipeline of U.S. infrastructure projects, and has firepower for growth with leverage headroom allowed by its BBB rating.
