First-quarter 2025 revenues of €328 million
Growth in the Group's historical businesses Return to service of the ElecLink interconnector on 5 February
Yann Leriche, CEO of Getlink, commented: "The Group's historical activities - Eurotunnel and Europorte - continued to grow, with revenue up by 2%. While LeShuttle volumes for the quarter reflect the sluggish economic environment and calendar effects, the continued improvement in the attractiveness of our services has enabled us to increase our passenger and truck market shares. As expected, ElecLink's contribution was down, as a result of the normalisation of electricity markets and the suspension of activity until 5 February."
1 All comparisons with the first-quarter of 2024 revenues are made at the average first-quarter 2025 exchange rate of £1 = €1.201.

Group consolidated revenue for the first quarter fell by 17% at constant exchange rates, to €328 million.
At €254 million, Eurotunnel's revenue was up 2% on the first quarter of 2024.
Shuttle revenue totalled €150 million, down slightly (-1%) in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, penalised by lower passenger traffic (calendar effect).
Railway Network revenue was up 2% to €93 million, driven by higher Eurostar traffic.
Other revenue reached €11 million (+83%), thanks in particular to the integration of ChannelPorts and, to a lesser extent, ASA, acquired in April 2024 and at the end of January 2025 respectively.
Europorte reported a 2% increase in sales to €41 million.
In the first quarter, ElecLink revenue was down 69% compared with the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the expected normalisation of the energy markets and the impact of the suspension of activity until 5 February.
As of 31 March, ElecLink had secured just over €200 million in revenue for 2025 (representing 83% of annual capacity) and €125 million for 2026 (representing 35% of annual capacity), subject to effective delivery of the service 3 .
Getlink confirms that it expects a consolidated current EBITDA of between €780 and €830 in 2025.4
