3 Figure adjusted from published financial statements following the final purchase price allocation for Cobra IS.
VINCI's consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2023 came to €15.0 billion, up 17% compared with the first quarter of 2022 (organic growth of 14.2%, a 2.8% positive impact from changes in the consolidation scope and a 0.3% negative impact from exchange rate movements). This trend confirms the good momentum in the Group's businesses, both in France and abroad.
Order intake at VINCI Energies, Cobra IS and VINCI Construction totalled €15.5 billion during the quarter, an increase of 24% compared with the first quarter of 2022.
As a result, the order book was a record €60.3 billion at 31 March 2023. That represents a year-on-year increase of 10% and almost 14 months of average business activity in these business lines. International business made up 68% of the order book.
The Group's large order book gives it good visibility and enables it to remain selective in terms of new business.
In the first quarter of 2023, VINCI Autoroutes' traffic levels remained on a positive trajectory, rising by 1.5% compared with the first quarter of 2022.
Light vehicle traffic was up 1.9% despite higher fuel prices and fuel shortages. Heavy vehicle traffic fell slightly (by 0.5%) due to the high base for comparison.
The strong recovery in air traffic was confirmed in the first quarter of 2023. Several airports operated by VINCI Airports even achieved record passenger numbers. Pre-pandemic 2019 levels were exceeded by 15% in Portugal, 27% at Belgrade, 17% in Mexico and 15% in the Dominican Republic. In Asia, where the recovery has been longer to materialize, passenger numbers improved in Japan on both domestic routes and regional connections with South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
VINCI Airports welcomed a total of 56 million passengers to its airports in the first quarter of 20234 , 54% more than in the first quarter of 2022. Overall, passenger numbers equalled 88% of the level seen in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding airports in Asia, passenger numbers reached 96% of their pre-pandemic level.
4 Figures at 100% including passenger numbers at all managed airports over the full period.
Apart from Lima Expresa (central section of the Lima expressway in Peru) and Gefyra (Rion–Antirion bridge in Greece), VINCI Highways now includes SCDI (Confederation Bridge in Canada) and TollPlus (an international company based in Texas and specialised in the operation of electronic toll payment systems), in which it acquired controlling stakes in 2022.
• VINCI Energies: €4,395 million (up 21% on an actual basis and up 16% like-for-like compared with the first quarter of 2022)
VINCI Energies' markets are very buoyant, particularly those involving the energy transition and digital transformation, and it continued to see good momentum both in France and abroad. Recent acquisitions5 also boosted revenue growth by around €180 million in the first quarter. In the rolling 12 months to end-March, order intake hit a new record of more than €19 billion.
In France (45% of the total), revenue was €1,993 million, up 17% on an actual basis compared with the first quarter of 2022 (up 16% like-for-like). Performance was relatively consistent across VINCI Energies' four business sectors (industry, building solutions, infrastructure and ICT6 ).
Outside France (55% of the total), revenue totalled €2,402 million, up 24% on an actual basis relative to the first quarter of 2022 (up 15% like-for-like). In addition to the positive impact of acquisitions, business trends remained well oriented in almost all countries in which VINCI Energies operates.
Order intake rose by 27% compared with the first quarter of 2022. The order book at 31 March 2023 amounted to €14.5 billion (up 18% year on year), representing nearly 10 months of average business activity.
• Cobra IS: €1,496 million (up 21% on an actual basis and up 20% like-for-like compared with the first quarter of 2022)
Cobra IS's revenue and order intake in the first quarter of 2023 were driven by strong flow business momentum in Spain and Mexico, and by several major new EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) orders related to the energy transition.
In Spain (47% of the total), revenue was €707 million, up 26% compared with the first quarter of 2022.
Outside Spain (53% of the total, of which 33% in Latin America), revenue totalled €789 million, up 18% on an actual basis (up 16% like-for-like) relative to the first quarter of 2022.
Order intake grew at an outstanding pace of 77% relative to the first quarter of 2022.
The order book at 31 March 2023 amounted to €11.5 billion7 , up 37% year on year and representing almost two years of average business activity.
In renewable electricity generation, progress with works on the 570 MW capacity Belmonte solar farm in Brazil should allow it to start generating power in the summer.
5 31 acquisitions were completed in 2022 and 11 in the first quarter of 2023.
6 Information Communication Technology.
7 It does not include yet an amount of around €2 billion related to the contract won in January 2023 to design, build and install two offshore windfarm energy converter platforms in the North Sea with total capacity of 4 GW.
• VINCI Construction: €6,737 million (up 13% on an actual basis and up 14% like-for-like compared with the first quarter of 2022)
VINCI Construction realized a high level of business activity in the first quarter of 2023, due in particular to its strong international presence in the infrastructure segment. In addition, good performance in flow business in France ensured that order intake remained robust.
In France (47% of the total), revenue was €3.2 billion, up 9%. In the building segment, business was driven by rehabilitation works and construction projects for public buildings and hospitals.
Outside France (53% of the total), revenue amounted to €3.6 billion, up 17% on an actual basis and up 18% like-for-like. Growth was particularly noticeable in the Major Projects division, reflecting progress with several large contracts in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
Order intake rose by 13% compared with the first quarter of 2022. The order book at 31 March 2023 amounted to €34.3 billion, stable year on year and representing almost 14 months of average business activity.
VINCI Immobilier's revenue totalled €296 million, down 12% compared with the first quarter of 2022. The number of reserved housing units in France fell this quarter by 24% year on year to 834.
The decline reflects particularly difficult market conditions for property developers in France, with higher interest rates affecting both demand for new homes among consumers and investor demand in the nonresidential sector.
At 31 March 2023, VINCI's consolidated net financial debt was €19.2 billion, close to the level seen at 31 December 2022 (€18.5 billion). In addition to the impact of acquisitions completed during the period, this reflects the seasonal increase in the working capital requirement, although limited considering the large cash inflows collected from customers in late 2022.
VINCI's liquidity remained substantial at 31 March 2023, amounting to nearly €20 billion and comprising:
In March 2023, rating agency Standard & Poor's reiterated its confidence in the Group's credit quality by affirming its A− long-term and A2 short-term ratings, both with stable outlook.
VINCI is confirming the 2023 guidance that it presented when publishing its 2022 financial statements in February 2023.
At this stage, barring any exceptional events, the Group expects further increases - although more limited than in 2022 - in revenue and operating income in 2023.
Thus, its net income, despite a substantial increase in financial costs, should be slightly higher than the level achieved in 2022.
Following an exceptionally high level of cash inflows from customers at the end of 2022 and given the substantial increase in investments anticipated in 2023 in both airports and renewable energy, the Group expects, as an initial estimate, that the free cash flow could be in the range of €4.0 billion to €4.5 billion in 2023.
2023 forecasts for each business line are as follows:
8 Figures at 100% including passenger numbers at all managed airports over the full period.
9 Operating income from ordinary activities (Ebit) / revenue.
The Group will comment on its revenue and business activities in the period ended 31 March 2023 in a conference call to be held in English today (Tuesday, 25 April 2023) at 18:00 CEST.

Concession subsidiaries' revenue derived from works carried out by non-Group companies: this indicator relates to construction work done by concession companies as programme manager on behalf of concession grantors. Consideration for that work is recognised as an intangible asset or financial asset depending on the accounting model applied to the concession contract, in accordance with IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Arrangements". It excludes work done by the VINCI Energies and VINCI Construction business lines.
Like-for-like revenue growth: this indicator measures the change in revenue at constant scope and exchange rates.
Net financial surplus/debt: this corresponds to the difference between financial assets and financial debt. If the assets outweigh the liabilities, the balance represents a net financial surplus, and if the liabilities outweigh the assets, the balance represents net financial debt. Financial debt includes bonds and other borrowings and financial debt (including derivatives and other liabilities relating to hedging instruments). Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and assets relating to derivative instruments.
Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets relating to leased items under non-current assets, along with a liability corresponding to the present value of lease payments still to be made. That liability is not included in net financial surplus/debt as defined by the Group, and is presented directly on the balance sheet.
For joint property developments:
VINCI Airports' passenger numbers: this is the number of passengers who have travelled on commercial flights from or to a VINCI Airports airport during a given period, and is a relevant indicator for estimating an airport's revenue from both aviation and nonaviation activities.
VINCI Autoroutes' traffic levels: this is the number of kilometres travelled by light and heavy vehicles on the motorway network managed by VINCI Autoroutes during a given period.
