Company Announcements

• Revenues and adjusted EBITDA¹ reported double-digit growth, excluding the impact of exchange rates
• North American highways delivered outstanding results 
• Construction division achieved a healthy order book¹ and stable margins 

AMSTERDAM , May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferrovial, a leading global infrastructure company, closed the first quarter of 2026 with robust growth, supported by the strong performance of its business units. Both revenue and adjusted EBITDA¹ increased, driven mainly by U.S. highways performance.

"We have started 2026 with strong momentum, as evidenced by our significant revenue growth across all our North American highways, continued progress on key projects such as the New Terminal One (NTO) at JFK International Airport, and solid profitability in the Construction business. We see an attractive pipeline of assets in high-growth U.S. regions and increasing opportunities for public-private partnerships," said Ignacio Madridejos, Chief Executive Officer of Ferrovial.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ rose by 15% year-on-year on a like-for-like¹ basis, reaching €321 million in the first quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, revenue totaled €2.1 billion, a 10.2% increase in like-for-like¹ terms compared to the same period in the previous year, driven by substantial growth across all businesses.

Ferrovial ended the first quarter of the year with a solid financial position, with €5.5 billion in liquidity¹ and consolidated net debt¹ of -€1.2 billion, excluding infrastructure projects in both cases. 

Operating results

The Highways division's revenue increased by 13.7% in like-for-like terms¹ to €336 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven by strong growth in North America. Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 10% in like-for-like¹ terms to €235 million. U.S. Express Lanes recorded strong revenue-per-transaction growth, outpacing inflation. However, traffic was affected by adverse weather conditions during the period, primarily in January.

In Canada, 407 ETR delivered outstanding performance in the first quarter of 2026, with double-digit EBITDA¹ growth, despite adverse weather conditions. 407 ETR has approved the payment of a CAD 500 million dividend in the second quarter.

The Construction division's order book¹ reached an all-time high of €17.6 billion at the end of the first quarter 2026, with North America accounting for 45%, Poland 25%, and Spain 14% of the total order book¹. Adjusted EBIT margin¹ stood at 3.1%.

In the Airports division, the New Terminal One (NTO) at JFK International Airport continued advancing toward operational readiness, achieving 87% construction progress. NTO has reached 30 commitments with airlines, including 21 executed agreements and 9 letters of intent.
