Cash position at
GUIDANCE
The first-half performance enables the Group to reiterate its EBITDA guidance for 2025 of between €780 million and €830 million9.
This guidance takes into account:
-
Reasonable growth assumptions for
Eurotunnel based on the commercial momentum observed at the beginning of the year in an environment which remains competitive. -
The central scenario assumes the implementation of EES formalities on
Eurotunnel sites fromOctober 2025 , with EES having been the subject of intensive preparation to make it a competitive advantage. -
The revenue already secured for
Eleclink (as at 30 June, 92% of the cable's capacity for 2025 has been sold for total revenue of €205 million, subject to actual delivery of the service), the consequences of the suspension of activity until 5 February and between 19 May and2 June 2025 , recent electricity market prices and the use of a method similar to that used for 2024 for the profit sharing provision in operating costs.

The table above summarises the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as at
-
At
30 June 2025 , Fixed assets include property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets amounting to €5,626 million for theEurotunnel segment, €861 million for theEleclink segment and €118 million for the Europorte segment. -
Other non-current assets at
30 June 2025 include the G2 inflation-linked notes held by the Group amounting to €347 million, deferred tax asset of €224 million andUK pension assets of €6 million. -
At
30 June 2025 , Cash, cash equivalents and cash management financial assets amounted to €1,355 million after a dividend payment of €314 million, the net repayment of €250 million as part of refinancing of Green Bonds, €119 million in debt service costs (net interest, repayments and fees) and net capital expenditure of €65 million. - Equity decreased by €30 million as a result of the impact of payment of €314 million in dividends relating to the 2024 financial year. This reduction was partially offset by the impact of the net result for the period (profit of €113 million), the change in the fair value of the partially terminated hedging instruments of €117 million and the impact of the change in the exchange rate on the translation adjustment (€49 million).
-
Financial liabilities decreased by €344 million compared to
31 December 2024 due to the net repayment of €250 million as part of the refinancing of the Green Bonds, the impact of the change in exchange rate on the sterling-denominated debt (€80 million) and contractual debt repayments of €43 million. These decreases have been partially offset by an increase of €38 million arising from the effect of inflation on the index-linked debt tranches of the Term Loan and a decrease in lease liabilities of €8 million. - The liability in respect of the fair value of the interest rate derivatives decreased by €96 million mainly due to the impact of higher long term rates on the market value of the hedging instruments.
- Other liabilities include €934 million of trade and other payables, provisions, deferred income, pension and other liabilities.

At €436 million, net cash generated from trading in the first half of 2025 decreased by €27 million compared to the first half of 2024. This change is mainly due to the impact on Eleclink’s contribution of the normalisation of the energy market and the suspensions of the electricity interconnector’s activity during the period:
- net cash flow from Eurotunnel’s activities increased by €53 million to €345 million (first half 2024: €292 million);
- net cash flow from Europorte’s activities increased by €2 million to €12 million (first half 2024: €10 million); and
- net cash flow from Eleclink’s activities decreased by €82 million to €79 million (first half 2024: €161 million) reflecting the normalisation of the energy market and the suspension of activity on the electricity interconnector.
In the first half of 2025, cash flow from other net operating and taxes is mainly related to net tax payments of €34 million.
In the first half of 2025, net cash flows from investing activities of €77 million comprised mainly:
-
net payments of €60 million relating to the
Eurotunnel segment (2024: €61 million); the main expenditure during the period comprised €21 million on rolling stock and €20 million on infrastructure projects; - net payments of €3 million relating to Europorte (2024: €2 million);
-
payments of €2 million related to
Eleclink (2024: €4 million); and -
payments of €12 million relating to acquisitions (see notes
A and C to the summary half-year consolidated financial statements at30 June 2025 ).
Net financing payments in the first half of 2025 was a cash outflow of €656 million compared with a cash outflow of €416 million in the first half of 2024. In 2025, cash flow from financing mainly comprised:
- dividend payment of €314 million paid in respect of the 2024 financial year (2024: €298 million);
-
€119 million of net debt service costs including:
- €96 million paid in interest on the Term Loan and on other borrowings (2024: €104 million);
- €43 million paid in respect of the scheduled repayments on the Term Loan and other borrowings (2024: €40 million);
- €5 million received from the scheduled repayment of the G2 notes held by the Group and €4 million received in interest thereon (2024: €4 million and €4 million respectively);
- €10 million paid in relation to leasing contracts (2024: €9 million) presented in cash flows related to financing activities in accordance with IFRS 16;
- €25 million received in interest on cash and cash equivalents (2024: €33 million);
- €3 million paid relating to financial operations concluded in previous years (2024 : €3 million); -
€254 million net payment related to the refinancing of the Green Bonds with the net repayment of €250 million and €4 million in fees (see notes A.1 and G.1 to the summary consolidated half-year financial statements as at
30 June 2025 ) and the receipt of the repayment of €30.5 million previously held in the Green Bond “Debt Service Reserve Account".

The subscription of additional debt: for example, additional debt may be incurred as long as, on a pro forma basis, the following ratios of the Group are met: (a) the total net financial leverage ratio is equal to or less than 7.0; and (b) the debt service coverage ratio (the ‘DSCR’) is equal to or greater than 1.25. In addition, certain types of debt may be incurred if they comply with a debt capacity ratio. These include a basket for credit facilities at the level of
Getlink SE up to the greater of the following amounts: €585 million and 75% of consolidated EBITDA; and a basket to finance the activities ofGetlink SE or one of its subsidiaries up to the greater of the following amounts: €500 million or 65% of consolidated EBITDA. - The making of certain restricted payments, including dividend distributions and purchases of treasury shares. Any such restricted payments will be permitted if (i) there is no event of default and (ii) the DSCR for the previous 12 months is at least 1.25 to 1.0. Any restricted payments using the proceeds of a Europorte sale and restricted payments in the aggregate amount not to exceed €300 million (and €150 million in each year), are not subject to the DSCR restriction above.
- Other operations, including certain sales of assets, granting of certain liens and consummation of certain merger and consolidation transactions.
As is customary for financings of this type, there are a number of exceptions to the incurrence covenants noted above that are aimed to ensure that the Group has sufficient flexibility to operate its business.
Events of default
Key events of default applicable to the 2030 Green Bonds and listed in the Trust Deed are set out below:
- a failure to pay principal when due;
- a failure for more than 30 days to pay interest when due;
- a failure for more than 60 days after receipt of a notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Green Bonds outstanding to comply with other covenants or agreements in the Trust Deed;
- a cross-acceleration or payment default under certain other indebtedness;
- a failure to pay certain final judgments;
- an impairment of Notes Security above a certain value; and
- certain customary bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.
None of these situations arose during the period.
G.2 Hedging instruments
In 2007, the Group put in place hedging contracts to cover its floating rate loans (tranches C1 and C2) in the form of swaps for the same duration and for the same value (EURIBOR against a fixed rate of 4.90% and SONIA plus a spread of 0.2766% (previously LIBOR) against a fixed rate of 5.26%). The nominal value of hedging swap is €953 million and £350 million. These derivatives were partially terminated as part of the refinancing of tranche C of the Term Loan in
These derivatives have been measured at their fair value as a liability on the statement of financial position as follows:
