Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“This quarter, our teams around the world delivered another robust performance with an organic growth rate of 6.3%, reflecting strength across our entire portfolio.
With this nine-month organic growth of 6.6%, a solid backlog, and the proven resilience of our diversified portfolio, we confirm our full-year 2025 financial outlook.
In this third quarter, we continued the execution of our LEAP | 28 strategy roadmap actively managing our portfolio through targeted bolt-on acquisitions. In October 2025, we signed agreements for two acquisitions generating approximately EUR 32 million in annualized revenue. One strengthens our Buildings & Infrastructure leadership position in Europe, and the second augments our Renewables capabilities, as we build our New Strongholds. So far this year, we have acquired EUR 92 million in cumulative annualized revenue.”
