  • Full-year sales were €56.8 billion, up 1% versus 2023, driven mainly by Bouygues Construction and Equans. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales also increased 1% year-on-year.

  • Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €2,535 million, up €124 million year-on-year, driven mainly by Equans, where COPA increased €135 million year-on-year, and to a lesser extent by Bouygues Construction, where COPA increased €45 million in the period. In a still challenging market environment, COPA declined €79 million year-on-year at Bouygues Immobilier, resulting in a current operating loss from activities of €51 million in the period, impacted in particular by a sharp decline in its business activity and provisions booked on operations.
