FCC increases its turnover by 6.9% in 2025 business year, reaching €9.7 billion
- Financial debt shrunk by 23% to €2,301.8 million
- Its revenue portfolio increased by 11.4%, to €51,606.8 million
FCC Group's turnover stood at €9,700.1 million at the end of 2025, up by 6.9% YoY. This growth is due to the balanced contribution of acquisitions in the UK, USA and France in the Environment Area, as well as organic growth in all the Group's business areas, namely Concessions – which grew by 45.5%, driven by the initial operation of new contracts and the increase in traffic – followed by the Water business, with progress in its lines of activity.
EBITDA was €1,419.1 million in the year, which represents a slight decrease of 1.1% compared to the previous year. This change is primarily explained by the adjustment made in the Construction Area during the last quarter, resulting from the development of international projects, their revenue performance depending on their progress and the revised estimated costs to complete them.
The profit attributable to the parent company has decreased by 62%, to €164.4 million in the business year, compared to €432.1 million in the previous year. This was the result of some extraordinary factors, such as the financial spin-off of the Cement and Real Estate areas in November 2024; exchange rate differences; the allocation of provisions in certain activities; and investment adjustments in waste treatment assets in the Environment Area, in the United Kingdom.
As for its balance sheet, FCC Group closed 2025 with a significant reduction in net financial debt. Compared to December 2024, it shrunk by 23%, to €2,301.8 million. This result was achieved despite net investments of €1.2 billion, including renewals, the development of new contracts in different business areas and acquisitions in the Environmental Services Area. The main mitigating factor is explained primarily by the sale of a 25% stake of the Environmental Services holding company for €1 billion.
Equity recorded a notable increase of 26.9%, reaching €4,743.2 million, driven by the adjustment to the valuation arising from the sale price of the non-controlling stake in the Environmental Services holding company.
At year-end, FCC Group’s income portfolio grew by 11.4% YoY, to €51,606.8 million. A significant contributor to this growth was the Construction Area, supported in large part by the increase in international large infrastructure contracts.
Key milestones in 2025
New brand for the Environmental Services Area of the FCC Group
In 2025, and in response to its broader footprint, the environmental services subsidiary adopted the name FCC Enviro, which is easily recognisable on a global scale. It is closely aligned with environmental activities, while also establishing a link with the various brands across the area’s four geographic platforms, which remain unchanged (FCC Medio Ambiente, FCC Environment, FCC Environmental Services, FCC Environnement, …).
FCC Enviro expands its backlog and footprint, particularly at Atlantic, in the United States and the United Kingdom
Below are the main contracts and renewals secured, notably including those in Spain on the Atlantic platform:
- On 30 September, the municipality of Granada signed a new street cleaning and waste collection contract, which will be managed by FCC Medio Ambiente for the first time. It has a value of €740 million and will run for 15 years.
- Rollover of the contract for the city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, which includes the management of clean points and sewerage maintenance, with a backlog worth close to €400 million over the next 10 years.
- Oviedo City Council awarded the new waste collection and street cleaning contract to FCC Medio Ambiente, which has been providing these services without interruption since 1967. The backlog amounts to €246.2 million over the next nine years, with a possible one-year extension.

Highlights in the United States:
- In July, the United States platform expanded its footprint by acquiring Wheelabrator South Broward Inc., which owns the South Broward waste energy recovery plant (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). The acquisition value was $285 million. This addition will act as a platform to consolidate the company's entry into the Treatment business in Florida, as well as to develop synergies with the waste collection operations already underway in its extensive area of influence.
- Last October, the contract for the operation and maintenance of the energy recovery plant in Pinellas County (Florida) was signed for the next 10 years, with a backlog of close to €610 million.
- Two of the earliest contracts secured in this market over the past decade were renewed. Firstly, the Company successfully renewed the contract for Houston, for the management of biowaste from the city's wastewater treatment system; the contract has a five-year term and a backlog worth $50 million. Meanwhile, Orange County (Florida) extended its MSW contract covering Zones 4 and 5, securing a seven-year agreement with a backlog worth $170 million.
- In the treatment segment, the company was awarded the contract to operate the municipal solid waste transfer station in south Minneapolis, its second contract in the state of Minnesota.
Highlights in the United Kingdom:
- Last October, Cumbria Waste Group was acquired in the Cumbria region for £76 million. Its activities include waste collection and recycling operations for municipal and commercial clients. Its location will make it possible to leverage synergies both with the activities currently carried out in the region and with those under development in waste treatment and energy recovery.
- Progress has been made in the development of a renewable energy project in partnership with Downing Renewable Developments, aimed at rolling out a significant portfolio of facilities to give closed landfills a second life and an environmentally beneficial use. This project includes the energy park near Rowley Regis (West Midlands), featuring a battery energy storage facility with a capacity of up to 100 MW, capable of storing energy to supply, at certain times, up to 300,000 homes.
Sale by FCC Enviro of its paper, cardboard and other non-hazardous waste business for €40.9 million
FCC Ámbito, FCC Enviro’s subsidiary specialising in industrial waste treatment, completed in December the sale of its paper and cardboard recovery business, as well as other non-hazardous waste from industrial and commercial sources, for €40.9 million.

In the Americas market, the first contract was secured in Peru, under a design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance (DFCOM) model, for a wastewater treatment system in Chincha. The project will directly benefit 345,000 people and involves an investment of €78 million, with an associated backlog of €356.7 million and a 24-year term.
In Spain, characterised by a very high degree of granularity and recurring contract renewals, a notable award during the period was the 25-year contract granted by the town council of La Llagosta for the municipal drinking water supply service, representing a revenue backlog of €39 million.
