Opening a new chapter of value creation, with EBITA to exceed € 1bn by 2028

SPIE today announces its new 2025-2028 financial targets:

• Revenue is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7% to 9%, including organic growth of 3% to 4% per year on average;

  • SPIE is well on track to reaching its full potential in Germany, set to be a very powerful growth engine for the Group in the years to come;

  • In France, SPIE will capitalise on its strong positions and proven agility to seize long-term growth opportunities;

  • In the Netherlands, now firmly established as the Group’s third pillar, SPIE has built rock-solid foundations for further expansion;

  • The Group will leverage its strong cash-generative model to pursue its recurring, self-financed bolt-on M&A strategy, fuelled by sustained market consolidation momentum and a large spectrum of opportunities.

• EBITA margin is expected to expand further and reach at least 7.7% by 2028, resulting in EBITA surpassing the € 1 billion mark by the end of the period;

• The Group expects to generate cumulative free cash flow in excess of € 2 billion over the 2025-2028 period (based on 100% cash conversion);

• SPIE’s capital allocation will prioritise self-financed bolt-on M&A, dividend growth based on a 40% pay-out ratio and anti-dilutive share buy-back, while maintaining a strong balance sheet. This will leave flexibility for potential additional ad hoc shareholder return or further M&A.
