€26.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to €26.2 million in the previous year, with the EBITDA margin from the construction segment (10.7%) standing at full year 2025 levels (10.8%).
The Group's net profit after tax amounted to €10.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to €11.9 million in 2025.
DEBT
The Group's net bank debt (including equipment leasing liabilities) increased to €239.6 million on 31.03.2026 from €200.9 million on 31.12.2025, due to temporary pressure on working capital caused by delays in works certifications as well as the targeted rationalisation policy regarding the liquidity cycle, with the leverage ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA trailing for the last 12 months) nevertheless remaining at low levels: 2.0x on 31.03.2026 versus 1.7x at end-2025.

PARTICIPATIONS PORTFOLIO
The Group has a quality portfolio of participations in concessions and PPPs of significant value, with a fair valuation of €401.7 million as of 31.03.2026 versus €397.7 million at the end of 2025. Out of this value, an amount of €106.2 million is not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, and in particular in the equity position, due to the difference in the valuation method between fair value and equity basis.

HIGH WORK-IN-HAND
