Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of the Group, stated:
“The excellent results recorded in the first half confirm the relevance of the GreenUp plan's growth priorities. In an uncertain economic and geopolitical context, the challenges related to health, resilience, competitiveness, and sovereignty are all the more crucial and confirm the sustained demand for our services. Thus, in the first half of the year, our booster(5) activities were up almost +9%(6), and we registered €2bn bookings in water technologies.
Our unique ability to demonstrate agility in a constantly evolving environment enables us to maximize value creation for our stakeholders by combining resilience and growth. The EBITDA growth of +5.5%(2) in the first half, in line with our expectations, thus reflects our operational excellence.
This growth is supported by a dynamic and successful capital allocation policy, with €2.2bn invested in the first half, including the buyout of CDPQ's 30% stake in Water Technologies Services, giving us full ownership and enabling us to accelerate value creation, as well as nearly 300 million euros in targeted acquisitions in hazardous waste treatment in the United States, Brazil, and Japan.
The strong performance in the first half of 2025 makes us fully confident in achieving our objectives for the year.”
