Amsterdam, 31 July 2025 – Arcadis, the world's leading company delivering data-driven sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets, reports €965 million net revenues for the second quarter, reflecting a stable performance on an organic basis year-on-year and continued operational improvements with an operating EBITA margin of 11.3% in the second quarter, while substantially investing in strategic initiatives to accelerate future growth and further cost efficiencies.
"In the first half of 2025, Arcadis demonstrated good performance, with continued strong demand in North America and Europe offsetting more challenging conditions in UK and Australia. We increased our Key Client order intake and have further expanded our Global Excellence Centers to enhance project delivery and support our teams worldwide. Margin performance was strong while making substantial strategic investments to position us well for future growth and drive further cost efficiencies. Large contracts' ramp up, a concluded UK Spending Review and the commencement of the water cycle AMP8 have positioned us well for growth in the second half of 2025. While some uncertainty around market dynamics remains, our healthy backlog and pipeline give us confidence in our future. With our clear strategy and the expertise of our people, we continue to be on track to achieve our 2024-2026 targets."

Revenue growth was strong in the US, Canada, and the Netherlands, supported by high demand for Energy Transition, Water, and Technology solutions. This was largely offset by a softer UK market, where revenues declined by 8% year-on-year due to the delayed outcome of the government's Spending Review. In addition, a pause in Australia's infrastructure market and a shift in our US business towards a higher quality portfolio also weighed on overall growth.
Total backlog was supported by significant order intake from clients in Pharmaceuticals, Data Centers, Energy Transition, US Water, and Rail, offsetting contracts winding down in US Environmental Restoration, Semiconductors and Mobility clients in UK and Australia.
We are well positioned for growth in the second half of 2025, supported by the ramp‑up of large contracts, increased UK spending, and improved market stability.
Operating EBITA margin was 11.3% for the quarter, up from last year's underlying margin of 10.8% after adjusting for the €6.6 million Middle East provision release. Margin improvement was supported by strategic levers, including the expansion of our Key Clients program, now representing 67% of Net Revenues (up from 59% last year) and a rise in Global Excellence Centers' contribution to 15% (from 13% last year), with headcount now at 5,100 and preparations for the opening of our new center in Bucharest, Romania underway. Continued project selectivity, combined with ongoing investments in people and digital platforms, supported further efficiency gains. We remain on track with our strong margin trajectory towards the 12.5% target for 2026.
Net revenues totaled €1,937 million and were stable on an organic basis year-on-year. The operating EBITA margin was strong at 11.1% (H1'24: 11.1% )). Non-operating costs were €31 million, driven by right-sizing and restructuring efforts mainly in the UK in the first quarter. Net finance expenses decreased to €20 million (H1'24: €23 million), mostly driven by on average lower interest rates on loans and borrowings. Net income from operations decreased by 4% to €121 million (H1'24: €126 million), or €1.35 per share (H1'24: €1.40). 1
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was 68 days at the end of H1'25 (H1'24: 66 days). Net Working Capital as a percentage of annualized quarterly gross revenues was 13.4% (H1'24: 12.7%), with a strong June revenue performance driving up the receivables position. Free cash flow in the quarter was a positive €2 million resulting in €-136 million for the half year (H1'24: €-88 million), in line with seasonal trends and impacted by €26 million higher cash out versus last year as 2024 benefitted from lower cash taxes in the US, and we made prepayments for Q4 2025. Net debt increased to €1,039 million (H1'24: €1,016 million) leading to a Net Debt / Operating EBITDA ratio of 1.8x (H1'24: 1.9x), well within the strategic range of 1.5-2.5x.
1 Operating EBITA Margin for H1'24 was 10.8% when excluding a one-off provision release related to Middle East of €6.6 million

Strong growth in Energy Transition in Germany, Climate Adaptation in the Netherlands, and Water Optimization in the US was partially offset a temporary slowdown in the UK due to delays in the AMP8 cycle not offsetting reduced infrastructure-related environmental work. Strong backlog development was supported by large framework contracts renewed at the start of the year, and underpinned by key wins in Water, Energy Transition, and Nuclear.
In the UK, revenue from AMP8 Water contracts is set to gradually increase, with orders starting to be called off at the end of the second quarter. Additionally, our expanding Energy Transition backlog is expected to support near-term revenue growth. The margin benefited from disciplined project selection and effective cost management. Significant investments in talent for Energy Transition and in AI-driven Water solutions further strengthens our position to capture growth opportunities in these markets.

Net revenues were impacted by delays in major capital expenditure decisions from Industrial Manufacturing and Property & Investment clients, which was partially offset by strong performance in the US Pharmaceutical and Data Center sectors. The acquisition of KUA in Germany further solidified our position in the high-growth Data Center sector. Solid order intake was supported by a significant US Pharma win, driving near term growth. Furthermore, the conclusion of the UK Spending Review and substantial European government spending plans, are enhancing pipeline opportunities with Key Clients in areas such as housing, defense, transport hubs and healthcare, positioning us well for the second half of the year.

North America delivered a steady performance, supported by the planned ramp-up of large US and Canadian projects secured last year. Overall, results were tempered by the delayed outcome of UK's Spending Review and a pause in Australia's infrastructure market. However, we ended the quarter with significant rail contract wins in Netherlands, Canada and the UK. In Germany, integration of the WSP Rail acquisition is progressing well and unlocking new growth opportunities. The benefits from rightsizing initiatives in the UK and Australia, implemented in the first quarter, are expected to become more evident in the coming quarters.

Revenue growth was driven by our Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions, which supported key rail clients in North America, as well as strong demand for our Tolling and Travel IQ products in the US. During the quarter, our Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA) platform secured advisory wins with Property & Investment clients in the Places segment and with Water Optimization projects in Resilience. The combination of EDA and our deep asset expertise is a key differentiator in the market and is generating a strong pipeline of opportunities across other GBAs, as clients increasingly seek digital solutions to inform their decision-making. Continued investment in our sales capabilities and product platforms to support future growth impacted margin this quarter.
On 16 November 2023 Arcadis presented its 2024-2026 Strategy "Accelerating a planet positive future" and its 2026 targets. Financial targets include: organic net revenue growth of mid to high single digits over the cycle, operating EBITA margin of 12.5% in 2026, Net Debt / Operating EBITDA of 1.5 – 2.5x with an Investment Grade credit rating and a dividend payout ratio of 30 – 40% of Net Income from Operations.

Arcadis N.V. is a public company organized under Dutch law. Its statutory seat is Amsterdam and its principal office is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Arcadis N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries ('Arcadis', 'the Group' or 'the Company') is a leading global Design & Consultancy firm for natural and built assets. Applying deep market sector insights and collective design, consultancy, engineering, project and management services, the Group works in partnership with clients to deliver exceptional and sustainable outcomes throughout the lifecycle of their natural and built assets.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 include the interim financial statements of Arcadis N.V., its subsidiaries, and the interests in associates and jointly controlled entities.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
The Interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', and should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Gustav Mahlerplein 97, 1082 MS Amsterdam, the Netherlands, or at www.arcadis.com and prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The Interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The Interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board on 31 July 2025.
The accounting policies applied, and methods of computation used in preparing these Interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
There are no significant changes in accounting policies but one amendment to International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The new amendment does not have a material impact on the Company's financial performance in the first six months of 2025 and the financial position as at 30 June 2025.
In August 2023, IASB amended IAS 21 to specify how to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how to determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity's financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The amendments have no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses as well as the information disclosed. Actual results may always differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
There is no high seasonal pattern included in the year-to-date figures, therefore no additional financial information is disclosed on the six-month period ended 30 June 2025.

The exchange rates applied during the Q1 and Q2 financial closes are determined ahead of the interim reporting dates and may therefore differ from the actual spot rates as at the interim reporting date. Applying spot-rates as at 30 June 2025 on the balance sheet would have decreased the asset base by €13 million, decreased the liabilities by €6 million and decreased the equity base with €7 million, mainly due to a change in the USD rates. The impact on the condensed consolidated income statement is insignificant as the effect on the average exchange rate for the half-year is limited.
There are no significant changes in accounting policies adopted during the six-month period ended 30 June 2025.
The operating segment reporting follows the internal reporting used by the "Chief Operating Decision Maker" ("CODM", being the Executive Leadership Team of the Group), to manage the business, assess the performance based on the available financial information and to allocate resources. The most important performance measures are EBITA (earnings before interest, tax, amortization of identifiable intangible assets, and impairment charges) and operating EBITA, as management believes this is key in evaluating the results of the segments relative to other companies that operate within the same industry. However, "CODM" also receives information about the segment's net revenue.
Finance expenses, finance income, and fair value change of derivatives are not allocated to individual segments as the underlying instruments are managed on a group basis. Current taxes, deferred taxes and certain financial assets and liabilities are not allocated to those segments as they are also managed on a group basis.
The amount of segment assets and liabilities is not disclosed. Segment assets and liabilities are not included in the measures used for allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The Group discloses the goodwill by segment which corresponds to the Groups of CGU's for impairment testing purpose.
Hereafter, the Groups of CGU's for the purpose of testing for impairment of goodwill, defined at the level of the operating segments are referred to as the CGU or the CGU's (in case of multiple groups of CGU's).
Therefore, the information used by the "CODM" to monitor progress, and for decision-making about operational matters is based on the four GBAs.
The operating segments are equal to the reportable segment and accordingly there is no aggregation applied.
The Company has no customers that account for more than 10% of total annual revenues.

On 19 March 2025, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of KUA Group, two non-listed companies based in Germany. KUA Group is operating in complex data centers design and in architecture, design and engineering, and planning and permitting services. These capabilities complement Arcadis' strengths in site selection due diligence, program and cost management, and sustainability advisory.
On 30 April 2025, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of WSP Infrastructure Engineering GmbH ("WSP"), a non-listed company based in Germany. WSP is an engineering firm specialized in rail infrastructure, signaling, structural engineering and software development. Post acquisition, WSP has been renamed to Arcadis Mobility Germany GmbH ("AMG")
The provisional fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed for KUA Group and AMG are valued as at their respective date of acquisition. As neither acquisition is individually material, the disclosures required by IFRS 3 are presented in aggregate. The preliminary allocation to the identifiable net assets are presented below:
| Assets | |

| Intangible assets | 0 |
| Property, Plant and equipment | 0 |
| Right-of-use assets | 3 |

| Assumption of shareholder debt | 5 |
| Deferred consideration | 5 |
| Contingent consideration (earn-out) | 10 |
| Total consideration transferred | 108 |
| Goodwill arising on acquisitions | 92 |
The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the synergies with the acquired business. The preliminary goodwill for KUA Group and AMG are allocated to Places and Mobility GBA's respectively for the purpose of annual goodwill impairment testing.
The Group sought an independent valuation for the acquired entities' other intangible assets (mostly backlog and customer relationships) that will be completed during the second half of 2025.
The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the favourable terms of the lease relative to market terms. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been measured provisionally, and the Group will complete the assessment during the measurement period.
The net assets recognized at closing date were based on a provisional assessment of their fair value, and the Group intends to complete the assessment of the fair values of assets and liabilities as soon as reasonably possible, with a maximum of one year after the acquisition date.

There were no business divestments during the six-month period ended 30 June 2025.
As at 30 June 2025, the liability for contractual after-payments and earn-outs for acquisitions amounts to €16 million (31 December 2024: €1 million). The non-current liability relates to earn-out payable of €10 million to be settled in 2028 due to KUA Group acquisition. An amount of €6 million is due within one year and reported as 'Other current liabilities'. This relates to deferred consideration of €5 million due to KUA Group acquisition and the contingent consideration of €1 million from acquisition of Hotspot by IBI Group prior to Arcadis acquisition.
The management monitors the financial information based on the four Global Business Areas. The revenue for each of the four Global Business Areas are included in note 4.
The Group has recognized the following assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers:
| In € millions | 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables | 639 | 761 |
| Contract assets (Unbilled receivables) | 759 | 619 |

To stimulate the realization of long-term Company goals and objectives, Arcadis NV uses Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIPs). Based on the 2023 Arcadis NV Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company can grant equity-settled and cash-settled awards to eligible employees.
In the first six months of 2025, the following RSUs have been granted under the 2023 LTIP:
| Number of RSUs | Grant date | 1 Vesting date |
Share price at grant date |
Fair value at grant date |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual grant EB/ELT | 64,087 | 20 May 2025 | 20 May 2028 | € 45.76 | €9.76/ €43.37 |
| Annual grant other employees |
157,382 | 20 May 2025 | 20 May 2028 | € 45.76 | €43.37 |
1 Vesting is on the 5th business day after ex-dividend date in the third year after the grant.
The fair value (€9.76) of the RSUs granted to EB and ELT members subject to meeting a Total Shareholder Return condition (1/3) was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which considers the market conditions expected to impact Arcadis' TSR performance in relation to the peer group.
The costs of RSUs are amortized over the vesting period and are included in 'Personnel costs'. In the first six months of 2025, an amount of €4 million (H1 2024: €4 million) is included for the RSUs granted to employees in 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
In the first six months of 2025, a number of 2,936 cash-settled awards have been granted under the 2023 LTIP. These awards will vest at the same date as the granted equity-settled awards (RSUs).

1 Comparative figures are adjusted as interest income and expense on notional cash pools are presented as net amount.
Arcadis utilizes notional cash pools in which debit and credit balances both attract interest income and expense, respectively. The Finance income in the first six months of 2025 increased to €3 million (H1 2024: €2 million) due to notional cash pools being extended to other legal entities in the Group. The outcome is netted and presented in other interest income.
The finance expense decreased to €15 million (H1 2024: €31 million) due to a positive impact from foreign exchange differences (mainly USD). The impact is partly offset by fair value change of derivatives.
The effective income tax rate (income taxes divided by profit before income tax, excluding total result from investments accounted for using the equity method) for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 is 30.0% (H1 2024: 33.1%). Management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year is between 28% and 30%.
The effective tax rate differs from the corporate income tax rate in the Netherlands, primarily due to statutory tax rates in jurisdictions that the Company is operating in that are different than the Dutch statutory income tax rate, movements in derecognition of deferred tax assets, non-deductible items, non-recoverable withholding taxes, and prior year adjustments.
For calculating the earnings per share, the following numbers of average shares were used:

During the period, right-of-use assets decreased due to depreciation charges during the period amounting to €33 million. This is partially offset by additions and remeasurements as a result of new offices leases and vehicle leases in North America and Europe, and lease extensions exercised during the period. No impairment is recognized on right-of-use assets in the first six months of 2025.
In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, the service element of leases is not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Restricted cash amounted to €13 million and is composed of cash balances mainly held in China (31 December 2024: €19 million). The Group has control over these balances; although the balances are available for local operations, repatriation may be limited due to restrictive local regulatory and judicial requirements. As a result, the cash balances of some countries cannot be fully included in the global cash pooling or liquidity enhancement structures. In line with industry practice, the Company considers cash outside of global cash pooling or liquidity enhancement structures to be restricted if the Group is unable to repatriate cash within a defined period via either dividends, intercompany loans, or settlement of intercompany invoices.
As of 30 June 2025, no Cash and cash equivalents and Bank overdrafts have been offset. The bank overdraft as of 30 June 2025 is €110 million (31 December 2024: €1 million). The increase in bank overdrafts is attributed to the strategic utilization of extended notional cash pool structures with our core bank partners.

A total of 211,708 shares were transferred to participants in the Long-Term Incentive Plan due to the vesting of the RSUs granted in May 2022. Due to the Total Shareholder Return, sustainability performance and earnings per share position of Arcadis within the peer group these RSUs have vested for part of the participants at 128.3% of the grant.
An actuarial loss (remeasurement) of €5 million (H1 2024: €1 million gain, net of taxes) has been recognized in Other comprehensive income in the six-month period ended 30 June 2025. The actuarial loss is mainly related to the defined benefit pension plans in the UK in which the fund experienced underperformance of pension asset investments as a result of US trade policy influencing asset prices.
The total provision for employee benefits amounts to €25 million as at 30 June 2025, of which €5 million is a current portion of the provision.

The financial instruments carried at fair value are analyzed by valuation method, using the following levels:
All financial instruments carried at fair value within the Company are categorized in Level 2, except for the other investments in Techstars and Switch Energy, and the deferred consideration whereby a Level 3 valuation has been used. The valuation techniques and the inputs used in the fair value measurement did not change in the first six months of 2025 compared to 2024.
The fair value of loans and receivables is based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the Group specific market rate of interest at reporting date. For financial leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements.
The financial covenant set under the contracts of the committed credit facilities that are applicable to Arcadis includes a Total Leverage ratio (average net debt to EBITDA). The Total Leverage ratio for the €600 million Revolving Credit Facility and the 2020 Schuldschein loans has a maximum of 3.5x.
For the Revolving Credit Facility, the Applicable Rating of the Rating Agency (S&P) prevails over the Total Leverage ratio in case of a rating of at least BBB or Baa2, which is the case at half-year 2025.
The Total Leverage ratio for the 2023 Schuldschein loans, which is based on Operating EBITDA, also has a maximum of 3.5x.
Both ratios are included in the next tables.

Arcadis has issued corporate guarantees as security for credit facilities, bank guarantee facilities and surety bond lines. Guarantees or guarantee-like items issued by a financial intermediary (such as bank guarantees and surety bonds) can be issued in relation to projects, advances received, tender bonds or lease commitments to avoid cash deposits. Bank guarantees or surety bonds issued for project performance can be claimed by clients where Arcadis fails to deliver in line with the agreed contract. In such cases, the liability of the bank should be no greater than the original liability on Arcadis. In case the failure to perform arose due to an error or omission by Arcadis, the claim could be covered by the professional indemnity insurance cover.
The tables below summarizes the outstanding corporate and bank guarantees. They reflect only items that have been drawn or utilized that are not already shown on the balance sheet.

Other commitments as of 30 June 2025 do not significantly differ (in nature) from the Company's other commitments at 31 December 2024.
In the first six months of 2025, the Company was involved in various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings as a result of its normal course of business, either as plaintiff or defendant. Provisions are recognized only when management believes it is probable that Arcadis will be held liable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the claim has not been insured.
From time-to-time Arcadis enters into related party transactions. These transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis with terms comparable to transactions with third parties. Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation.
The nature of the related party transactions conducted in the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 does not deviate in substance from the transactions as reflected in the Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The Company was not a party to any material transaction or loans with parties who hold at least 10% of the shares in Arcadis NV.
There are no material subsequent events, that would have changed the judgement and analysis by management of the financial position of the Company at 30 June 2025, or the result for the period ended 30 June 2025.
