Bouygues: First-quarter 2025 results

FIRST-QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

Paris, 14/05/25 

GROUP OUTLOOK FOR 2025 CONFIRMED, IN A VERY UNCERTAIN MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL ENVIRONMENT.

• Group sales: €12.6bn, up 2.2% year-on-year
• Group current operating profit from activities (COPA): €69m, up €43m year-on-year
• Equans: improvement in COPA and margin from activities year-on-year, reaching €177m and 3.8% respectively, demonstrating successful execution of the strategic Perform plan
• Construction businesses: backlog at a new record level (€34.2bn) at end-March 2025, providing good visibility on future activity
• Net result attributable to the Group (excluding the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France) amounted to -€123m, improving €23m year-on-year.
• The estimated total impact of the French Finance law and the Social security financing law for 2025 (mainly the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France) on the net result attributable to the Group is confirmed at around €100m for the full year, of which around €40m was booked in the first quarter of 2025.
• Net result attributable to the Group amounted to -€156m, and therefore, cannot be compared to that of the first quarter 2024
• Robust financial structure: very high level of liquidity (€14.8bn) and significant year-on-year improvement in net debt to €7.1bn, including net acquisitions of close to €1.2bn over the year

The Board of Directors, chaired by Martin Bouygues, met on 13 May 2025 to close off the first-quarter 2025 financial statements.

As each year, the Group’s first-quarter results are not indicative of half-year and full-year performance, mainly due to the seasonal nature of business at Colas, and to a lesser extent, at Equans.

KEY FIGURES

(a) Up 0.9% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates.
(b) Includes PPA amortisation of €29m in first-quarter 2025 and €23m in first-quarter 2024.
(c) Includes net non-current charges of €19m in first-quarter 2025 and of €42m in first-quarter 2024.
(d) Net debt at end-March 2025 included net acquisitions of close to €1.2bn over the year.

• Sales in first-quarter 2025 were €12.6 billion, up 2.2% versus first-quarter 2024, driven by Colas, Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Telecom, reflecting the first full-quarter contribution from La Poste Telecom. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales increased 0.9% year-on-year.

• Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €69 million, up €43 million year-on-year, driven mainly by Equans, where COPA increased €44 million year-on-year.

• The net result attributable to the Group was -€156 million. Excluding the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France, the net result attributable to the Group was -€123 million¹, improving €23 million year-on-year. In particular, the net result attributable to the Group includes:
  • amortisation and impairment of intangible assets recognised in acquisitions (PPA) of €29 million (up €6 million year-on-year);
  • net non-current charges² of €19 million, which do not reflect the operational performance of the business segments. This mainly includes non-current charges related to the Management Incentive Plan at Equans and non-current income related to the sale of data centres by Bouygues Telecom;
  • financial result of -€97 million, compared with -€74 million in first-quarter 2024. This change was mainly due to the impact of the La Poste Telecom acquisition, and a decrease in the return on cash and cash equivalents related to lower interest rates, which was nonetheless mitigated by the increase in average cash and cash equivalents over the period;
  • income tax expense of €63 million, which includes the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France for an amount of €42 million, with a particularly distorting effect on the first quarter³. In first-quarter 2024, income tax expense was €7 million.
  • share of net results of joint ventures and associates amounting to a €9 million loss, versus a €4 million loss in first-quarter 2024. This change notably results from losses at certain Bouygues Immobilier co-promotion companies and Bouygues Telecom joint ventures.

• Net debt was €7.1 billion at end-March 2025, an improvement of €645 million versus end-March 2024, including net acquisitions of close to €1.2 billion over the year, especially the acquisition of La Poste Telecom. Net gearing⁴ was 50% at end-March 2025 (versus 55% at end-March 2024). The change of around -€1 billion at end-March 2025 versus end-December 2024 (net debt €6.1 billion) is linked to seasonal effects in the beginning of the year, and is more limited than last year.

OUTLOOK FOR 2025

Outlook for the Group

In a very uncertain global environment, the Group’s six business segments will continue to prove their ability to keep pace with developments in their respective markets. They will pursue their efforts to improve profitability. As a result, the Bouygues group is targeting for 2025 a slight increase in sales and current operating profit from activities (COPA) versus 2024.

The effects of the French Finance law and the Social security financing law for 2025 on net profit attributable to the Group are estimated to date at around €100 million. 

Outlook for Equans

In 2025, Equans will continue to roll out its strategic Plan. It is targeting:

• Continued organic sales growth, at a lower pace than in 2024;
• A margin from activities close to 4%, possibly slightly higher;
• A cash conversion rate (COPA-to-cash flow⁵) before working capital requirement (WCR) of between 80% and 100%.

As a reminder, Equans aims to gradually catch up with the organic growth of sector peers and to achieve a margin from activities (COPA margin) of 5% in 2027.

Outlook for Bouygues Telecom

For 2025, Bouygues Telecom is targeting:

• A slight increase in sales billed to customers versus 2024 (like-for-like, excluding La Poste Telecom), to which is added the contribution from La Poste Telecom⁶;
• Broadly stable EBITDA after Leases compared to 2024. In 2025, Bouygues Telecom will no longer benefit from the very favourable low hedged energy prices arranged in 2020 and 2021. La Poste Telecom’s contribution to EBITDA after Leases will be limited in 2025, with the full effect expected from 2028 ;
• Gross capital expenditure of around €1.5 billion (excluding frequencies), including expenditure related to the preparation for the migration of La Poste Telecom Mobile customers.

Outlook for the TF1 group

In an advertising market with very limited visibility, the TF1 group confirms its objectives for 2025:

• Strong double-digit revenue growth in digital;
• Broadly stable margin from activities compared with 2024;
• Aiming for a growing dividend policy in the coming years.

DETAILED ANALYSIS BY SECTOR OF ACTIVITY

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES

At end-March 2025, the backlog in the construction businesses (Colas, Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Immobilier) set a new record at €34.2 billion, up 12% year-on-year⁷, driven by Bouygues Construction and Colas, and providing good visibility on future activity. The backlog was up in the three main geographies, which are France (up 9% year-on-year), Europe⁸ excluding France (up 8% year-on-year) and international excluding Europe (up 19% year-on-year).

• The backlog at Colas totalled €15.1 billion, rising by €1.3 billion or 9% year-on-year (up 12% at constant exchanges rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions, notably reflecting the disposal of Colas Rail Italy in third-quarter 2024). The Roads backlog rose 5% year-on-year, improving by 5% in France and by 6% internationally. The Rail backlog was up 18% year-on-year. At end-March 2025, the backlog at Colas to be executed in the current year (Y) and next year (Y+1) was higher than at end-March 2024. Colas recorded an order intake of €4.1 billion in first-quarter 2025. The order intake for Roads showed strong growth internationally and a slight decrease in France year-on-year. In Rail, the order intake increased sharply year-on-year following the signature of major contracts in the first quarter. These included the contract to develop the high-speed rail line between Kenitra and Marrakesh in Morocco (worth around €250 million, together with a contract worth around €170 million to provide the related civil engineering, under the Roads activity) and an eight-year contract to operate and maintain On-Track machines in the UK (worth around €380 million).
• Bouygues Construction’s backlog stood at €18.3 billion at end-March 2025, up €2.6 billion or 17% year-on-year (up 15% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions). This was driven by Civil Works and France Building, where backlogs increased by 37% and 7% respectively year-on-year. The backlog at International Building decreased slightly by 3% year-on-year. At end-March 2025, the backlog at Bouygues Construction to be executed in the current year (Y) and next year (Y+1) was higher than at end-March 2024. In first-quarter 2025, Bouygues Construction’s order intake was €2.3 billion, broadly supported by good momentum in the normal course of business (contracts of less than €100 million), representing 71% of total order intake in the period, and by several major contract awards. For example, in the first quarter, Bouygues Construction won contracts to build the new mother-child unit at Rennes Teaching Hospital (worth around €100 million), the new Cardiff and Vale College campus in the UK (worth around €140 million), a data centre in France (worth around €110 million), and to modernise airports in Cyprus (worth around €120 million). These contracts highlight Bouygues Construction’s know-how in specific business lines such as healthcare infrastructure, academic buildings and airport facilities.
• Bouygues Immobilier continues to face a challenging market environment. In France, Residential property reservations nevertheless improved year-on-year. Commercial property activity remains at a standstill. The backlog was €0.9 billion, down €106 million or -11% versus end-March 2024.

The construction businesses reported sales of €5.5 billion in first-quarter 2025, up 3% year-on-year⁹.

• Sales at Colas rose 3% year on year¹⁰, lifted by Rail (sales up 12% year-on-year), which benefits from sustained momentum related to demand for soft-mobility infrastructure. Sales were up 2% year-on-year for Roads, with France up 2%, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region up 6%, North America down 9% and Asia-Pacific up 29%.
• Bouygues Construction’s sales rose 3% year-on-year¹¹. Sales rose slightly for Civil Works (up 1% year-on-year). Sales for International Building increased very strongly (up 13% year-on-year) and were down slightly for France Building (down 1% year-on-year).
• Sales at Bouygues Immobilier increased 3%¹² versus first-quarter 2024 in a still challenging market environment. Sales from Residential property advanced 4% year-on-year, and sales from Commercial property remained at a very low level.

In first-quarter 2025, the current operating loss from activities (COPA) in the construction businesses was €240 million, an improvement of €24 million year-on-year. COPA margin in the construction businesses improved by 0.6 points to -4.4%.

• At Colas, the current operating loss from activities was €305 million, broadly stable year-on-year. As a reminder, Colas’ first-quarter results are not indicative of half-year and full-year results, due to the seasonality of its activities.
• Bouygues Construction’s COPA increased €10 million to €72 million in first-quarter 2025, and its margin from activities was 2.9%, improving by 0.4 points year-on-year.
• The current operating loss from activities at Bouygues Immobilier was €7 million versus a current operating loss from activities of €26 million in first-quarter 2024 related to an adjustment of structure costs implemented in 2024. In the first quarter 2024, provisions had also been booked on certain operations.

EQUANS

The backlog at Equans at end-March 2025 was €26.4 billion, up 1% year-on-year¹³. Order intake in first-quarter 2025 was €5.2 billion. The underlying margin of the order intake continues improving steadily.
Equans posted sales of €4.6 billion in first-quarter 2025, stable year-on-year. It reflected overall positive market trends and its continued selective approach to contracts strategy. Equans has observed some short-term wait-and-see stance in a few activities in France and Europe¹⁴, which was reflected in the order intake and sales. International sales increased despite Equans gradually exiting the new-build business in the UK (building of new homes, notably social housing) due to unfavourable market conditions. Sales in France were down slightly.
COPA at Equans was €177 million in first-quarter 2025, up €44 million year-on-year. The margin from activities was 3.8%, up 0.9 points year-on-year, demonstrating the strong discipline in the execution of the Perform plan in all of Equans’ operating units.

BOUYGUES TELECOM

Bouygues Telecom maintained a solid commercial performance in Fixed in terms of volume and value, benefiting from good momentum in the B.iG and B&YOU Pure Fibre offers, launched late 2024. At end-March 2025, FTTH customers totalled 4.3 million after 148,000 new customers were added in first-quarter 2025 versus 134,000 in first-quarter 2024. The Fixed customer base was 5.2 million, equating to an additional 69,000 in first-quarter 2025 (versus 38,000 new customers in first-quarter 2024). The share of Fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH line continued to increase, reaching 83% versus 75% one year earlier. Bouygues Telecom continued extending its geographical footprint across France. To date, nearly 39 million FTTH premises have already been marketed. In the first quarter, Fixed ABPU increased by €0.7 year-on-year to €33.2 per customer per month.

Bouygues Telecom reported solid commercial performance in Mobile, reflecting its new strategy. The initial results from the B.iG plan are satisfactory in terms of customer acquisition and growth in the number of convergent households, and are showing the first positive effects on churn, in line with the customer loyalty strategy. Mobile plan customers excluding MtoM totalled 18.3 million as 63,000 were added in first-quarter 2025 (versus 17,000 in first-quarter 2024).
In first-quarter 2025, Mobile ABPU including La Poste Telecom was €17.5 per customer per month¹⁵, in a still competitive market in the low-end segment, with low prices for new customers.

Sales billed to customers reached €1.6 billion, up 6% versus first-quarter 2024 or 1% excluding La Poste Telecom. Organic growth in sales was achieved through Fixed. In total, Bouygues Telecom’s sales were up 5% year-on-year, of which Other sales, which mainly consist of Handsets, Accessories and Built-to-suit sales, were up 2% year-on-year.
EBITDA after Leases came to €415 million in first-quarter 2025, decreasing by €14 million year-on-year. This lower figure reflects, on the one hand, growth in sales billed to customers and continued efforts to control costs, and, on the other hand, an increase in the IFER tax¹⁶ levied in relation to the operator’s mobile sites, as well as higher energy costs now that Bouygues Telecom no longer benefits from very favourable low hedged energy prices. EBITDA after Leases margin¹⁷ was 25.9%, a decrease of 2.3 points year-on-year and includes a dilutive impact related to the La Poste Telecom acquisition.
Current operating profit from activities at Bouygues Telecom was €101 million, down €29 million year-on-year as a result of lower EBITDA after Leases and higher depreciation and amortisation in line with the gross capex trajectory. Current operating profit was €92 million, including PPA amortisation of €9 million. Operating profit was €101 million and includes net-non-current income of €9 million notably related to the sale of data centres.
Gross capital expenditure excluding frequencies was €394 million at end-March 2025 (versus €476 million in first-quarter 2024).

TF1

The TF1 group maintained its audience leadership in first-quarter 2025, with an audience share of 33.0% in the WPDM<50¹⁸ category and of 30.1% among individuals aged 25-49.
The TF1 group reported sales of €520 million in first-quarter 2025, representing a 2% increase year-on-year (stable like-for-like and at constant exchange rates):

• Media sales rose by 2% year-on-year, with advertising revenues stable. Advertising revenues at TF1+ maintained strong growth momentum (up 37% year-on-year).
• Sales at Studio TF1 (formerly Newen Studios) were €59 million in first-quarter 2025, stable year-on-year, including the €9 million contribution from Johnson Production Group (JPG) and reflecting less significant programme deliveries than in the prior-year period.

COPA at TF1 was €43 million, up €6 million year-on-year. The cost of programmes was similar to the figure for first-quarter 2024, with premium programming maintained for both linear and streaming. The margin from activities was 8.3%, an increase of 1 point year-on-year.

FINANCIAL SITUATION

At €14.8 billion, the Group maintained a very high level of liquidity, which comprised €3.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, supplemented by €11 billion in undrawn medium- and long-term credit facilities.
Net debt at end-March 2025 was €7.1 billion, versus €6.1 billion at end-December 2024 and €7.7 billion at
end-March 2024. This represents an improvement of €645 million year-on-year and includes net acquisitions of close to €1.2 billion over the year, especially the acquisition of La Poste Telecom. The change versus
31 December 2024 (around -€1 billion) was linked to seasonal effects in the beginning of the year, and was more limited than last year.
In first-quarter 2025, the change in working capital requirements and other was a negative €0.9 billion, which is usual for the first quarter, yet lower than in first-quarter 2024.

Net gearing¹⁹ was 50%, an improvement versus end-March 2024 (55%).

At end-March 2025, the average maturity of the Group’s bonds was 7.4 years, and the average coupon was 3.01% (average effective rate of 2.25%). The debt maturity schedule is well spread over time, and the next bond redemption will be in October 2026.

The long-term credit ratings assigned to the Group by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are: A3, stable outlook, and A-, negative outlook, respectively.

SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE INITIATIVES

The Group’s People First programme embodies its core human resources and ethical values. It rolls out strong commitments in favour of the environment and society as a whole. It fights climate change by launching new products and services to help customers reduce their environmental impact, whilst cutting its own greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, and by helping to preserve resources and protect biodiversity. Tangible examples of these solutions were on show at the ChangeNow event held in Paris from 24 to 26 April. The Group is also continuing its efforts to enforce strict compliance with ethical business conduct and maintain trust-based relations with its suppliers and subcontractors.
