FIRST-HALF 2025 RESULTS
ROBUST H1 2025 GROUP RESULTS
GROUP OUTLOOK FOR 2025 CONFIRMED, IN A VERY UNCERTAIN MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL ENVIRONMENT
- Group sales: €26.9bn, up 1.3% year-on-year, notably driven by the construction businesses
- Group current operating profit from activities (COPA): €796m, up €49m year-on-year, an increase driven largely by Equans and the construction businesses
- Net profit attributable to the Group (excluding the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France) amounted to €220m, improving €34m 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 net profit attributable to the Group is confirmed at around €100m for the full year, of which around €60m was booked in the first half of 2025
- Net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €173m, and therefore, cannot be compared to that of first-half 2024
- Robust financial structure: very high level of liquidity (€13.4bn) and year-on-year improvement in net debt to €8.5bn, including net acquisitions of close to €1.2bn over the year
The Board of Directors, chaired by Martin Bouygues, met on 30 July 2025 to close off the first-half 2025 financial statements.
KEY FIGURES
As each year, the Group's first-half results are not indicative of full-year performance, mainly due to the seasonal nature of business at Colas, and to a lesser extent, at Equans.

(a) Up 0.7% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates.
(b) Includes PPA amortisation of €53m in H1 2025 and €45m in H1 2024.
(c) Includes net non-current charges of €55m in H1 2025 and of €106m in H1 2024.
(d) Net debt at end-June 2025 included net acquisitions of close to €1.2bn over the year.
- Sales in first-half 2025 were €26.9 billion, up 1.3% versus first-half 2024, mainly driven by construction businesses and the first-half contribution from La Poste Telecom. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales increased 0.7% year-on-year.
- Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €796 million, up €49 million year-on-year, driven mainly by Equans, where COPA increased €64 million year-on-year, and by construction businesses. As expected, the contribution from Bouygues Telecom was down year-on-year.
- Net profit attributable to the Group was €173 million1. Excluding the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France, net profit attributable to the Group was €220 million, improving €34 million year-on-year. In particular, net profit attributable to the Group includes:
- amortisation and impairment of intangible assets recognised in acquisitions (PPA) of €53 million (up €8 million year-on-year);
- net non-current charges2 of €55 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;
- financial result of -€189 million, almost stable versus -€185 million in first-half 2024;
- income tax expense of €268 million, which includes the exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France for an amount of €58 million3. In first-half 2024, income tax expense was €162 million4. The Group's effective tax rate was 54% in first-half 2025. The exceptional income tax surcharge significantly distorts the effective tax rate for 2025, and even more so for the first-half, due to the seasonality of the Group's activities.
- share of net profits of joint ventures and associates amounting to a €4 million loss, versus a €6 million profit in first-half 2024. This change notably results from the end of the positive contribution from a co-promotion office development at Bouygues Immobilier.
- Net debt was €8.5 billion at end-June 2025, an improvement of €206 million versus end-June 2024, including net acquisitions of close to €1.2 billion over the year, especially the acquisition of La Poste Telecom. Net gearing5 was 62% at end-June 2025 (versus 65% at end-June 2024). The change of around €2.5 billion at end-June 2025 versus end-December 2024 (net debt €6.1 billion) is linked to seasonal effects in the beginning of the 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
Equans continues to roll out its strategic Plan. Equans has adjusted its outlook for 2025 and is targeting:
- Sales close to the level of 2024, at constant exchange rates (previously, Equans was targeting continued organic sales growth, at a lower pace than in 2024).
- A margin from activities close to 4.2% (previously, Equans was targeting a margin from activities close to 4%, possibly slightly higher).
- A cash conversion rate (COPA-to-cash flow6) 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
Bouygues Telecom has adjusted its outlook for sales billed to customers in 2025:
- Sales billed to customers, including La Poste Telecom7, will be higher than in 2024.
- Sales billed to customers (like-for-like, excluding La Poste Telecom) are expected to be close to the level of 2024. The figure will be, either slightly higher or slightly lower, depending on the duration and intensity of the competitive pressure currently being experienced (previously, Bouygues Telecom was 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 Telecom).
For 2025, Bouygues Telecom confirms it is aiming for:
- 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
After a first part of the year marked by a more challenging advertising market than expected, and with visibility remaining very limited, the TF1 group confirms its 2025 guidance:
- 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-June 2025, the backlog in the construction businesses (Colas, Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Immobilier) was at a very high level of €33 billion, up 6% year-on-year8, driven by momentum in international activities at Bouygues Construction and Colas. It provides good visibility on future activity.
The backlog was up in the international excluding Europe (up 14% year-on-year) and the Europe9 excluding France (up 5% year-on-year) geographies, and was down slightly in France (down 2% year-on-year).
- The backlog at Colas totalled €15 billion, rising by around €900 million or 6% year-on-year (up 9% 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 3% year-on-year, improving by 1% in France and by 5% internationally. The Rail backlog was up 12% year-on-year. The share of backlog at end-June 2025 to be executed within 18 months, increased by around €500 million versus end-June 2024. Colas recorded an order intake of €7.5 billion in first-half 2025. The order intake increased slightly year-on-year in Roads, with a strong rise internationally driven by the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and APAC (Asia-Pacific) regions, and a decline in France. In Rail, the order intake increased sharply year-on-year, notably following the signature of major contracts in the first quarter in Morocco and the United Kingdom. In the second quarter, Colas also won new contracts in Rail and in Roads, notably in Canada, Finland, the United States and the United Kingdom.
- Bouygues Construction's backlog stood at €17.2 billion at end-June 2025, up around €1.3 billion or up 8% year-on-year (up 7% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions). This was driven mainly by Civil Works and France Building, where backlogs increased by 15% and 5% respectively year-on-year. The backlog at International Building decreased slightly by 1% year-on-year. The share of backlog at end-June 2025 to be executed within 18 months, increased by around €200 million versus end-June 2024. In first-half 2025, Bouygues Construction's order intake was €4.1 billion. A large part of the order intake came from the normal course of business (contracts of less than €100 million), representing 77% of total order intake in the period. In addition, Bouygues Construction signed several contracts worth over €100 million in first-half 2025. In the second quarter, for example, it won contracts to build Building C at Quai Vernets in Switzerland (worth around €140 million) and package A1 of the Nidfeld neighbourhood at Kriens in Switzerland (worth around €130 million).
- Bouygues Immobilier continues to face a still challenging market environment. In France, Residential property reservations rose slightly (up 2% year-on-year), with an increase in Block reservations and stable Unit reservations. Commercial property activity remains at a very low level. The backlog was €794 million10, down €216 million or -21% year-on-year. The growth in Residential property reservations in France during first-half 2025 should gradually help to rebuild the backlog over the coming months.
The construction businesses reported sales of €12.7 billion in first-half 2025, up 3% year-on-year11.
- Sales at Colas were stable year-on-year12. Rail (up 12% year-on-year) benefited from the continued rapid growth in soft-mobility infrastructure, while Roads was 1% lower year-on-year, with France up 1%, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region up 3%, APAC (Asia-Pacific) up 21% and North America down 9%.
- Bouygues Construction's sales rose 5% year-on-year13, thanks to its three core businesses - International Building (up 10% year-on-year), France Building (up 5% year-on-year) and Civil Works (up 4% year-on-year).
- Sales at Bouygues Immobilier increased 6%14 versus first-half 2024, with sales from Residential property up 5% year-on-year in France (up 1% year-on-year including internationally), and sales from Commercial property increased momentarily to €37 million during the first half in relation to the handover of a project in the second quarter for €36 million.
In first-half 2025, current operating profit from activities (COPA) in the construction businesses was €26 million, an improvement of €47 million year-on-year. This increase was driven by an increase in Bouygues Construction's COPA, an almost-stable current operating loss from activities at Colas, and a lower current operating loss from activities at Bouygues Immobilier. COPA margin in the construction businesses improved by 0.4 points year-on-year to 0.2%.
- At Colas, the current operating loss from activities was €116 million, broadly stable year-on-year, despite unfavourable weather conditions in North America. As a reminder, Colas' first-half results are not indicative of full-year results, due to the seasonality of its activities.
- Bouygues Construction's COPA increased €16 million to €150 million in first-half 2025. Its margin from activities was 2.9%, improving by 0.2 points year-on-year.
- Lastly, at Bouygues Immobilier, the current operating loss from activities was €8 million, versus a current operating loss from activities of €36 million in first-half 2024. This loss reflected the impact of seasonality, as a result of activity being generally lower in the first half than in the second half. The lower loss versus first-half 2024 stemmed from the cost savings achieved as a result of the measures implemented in 2024, and a slight improvement in the profitability of operations in 2025.
EQUANS
The backlog at Equans at end-June 2025 was €25.8 billion, down 2% year-on-year15. Order intake in first-half 2025 was €9.4 billion. Equans has a significant pipeline of projects but saw some delays in the launch of data centre projects, and a temporary slowdown in the gigafactories market. The underlying margin of the order intake continues improving steadily.
Equans posted sales of €9.2 billion in first-half 2025, down slightly by 1% year-on-year. This reflected broadly favourable medium and long-term market trends and a persistent short-term wait-and-see stance in certain sectors of industry and in the tertiary sector, as well as its continued selective approach to contracts strategy.
COPA at Equans was €364 million in first-half 2025, up €64 million year-on-year. The margin from activities was 3.9%, an increase of 0.7 points year-on-year, demonstrating notably the continued successful execution of the Perform plan.
BOUYGUES TELECOM
Bouygues Telecom maintained a robust commercial performance in Fixed amid slightly more competitive market conditions. It benefited from the good momentum from the B.iG and B&YOU Pure Fibre offers launched in late 2024, which translated into improved customer satisfaction and churn. At end-June 2025, FTTH customers totalled 4.4 million after 244,000 new customers were added in first-half 2025, of which 95,000 in the second quarter. The total fixed customer base was 5.3 million, equating to an additional 105,000 in first-half 2025, of which an increase of 36,000 in the second quarter. The share of Fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH line continued to increase, reaching 84% versus 77% one year earlier. Bouygues Telecom continued extending its geographical reach across France. To date, 39.6 million FTTH premises have been marketed. In the second quarter, Fixed ABPU was stable year-on-year at €33.0 per customer per month.
Bouygues Telecom reported a good commercial performance in Mobile, in a mature and highly competitive market The initial benefits of its new strategy with B.iG again fed through into customer satisfaction, churn and the number of convergent customers. Mobile plan customers excluding MtoM totalled 18.4 million as 105,000 were added in first-half 2025, of which 43,000 in the second quarter.
In second-quarter 2025, Mobile ABPU including La Poste Telecom was €17.3 per customer per month16, in a still competitive market in the low-end segment, with low prices for new customers.
Sales billed to customers reached €3.2 billion, up 5% versus first-half 2024, driven by La Poste Telecom. They were broadly stable excluding La Poste Telecom, with the positive contribution from Fixed being offset by the decline in Mobile. In total, Bouygues Telecom's sales were up 3% year-on-year, impacted by the decline in Other sales (down 2% year-on-year), which mainly consist of Handset, Accessories and Built-to-suit sales.
EBITDA after Leases came to €956 million in first-half 2025, stable year-on-year, and included, as expected, a limited contribution from La Poste Telecom. This figure reflects the growth in sales billed to customers and ongoing efforts to control costs, as well as higher energy costs (Bouygues Telecom no longer benefits from very favourable energy price hedging since late 2024) and the increase in the IFER tax17 booked in the first quarter. EBITDA after Leases margin was 29.9%, a decrease of 1.4 points year-on-year.
Bouygues Telecom's COPA was €306 million, down €50 million year-on-year. This decrease resulted from the increase in depreciation and amortisation in line with the gross capex trajectory. Current operating profit amounted to €288 million and included €18 million of PPA amortisation. Operating profit was €291 million and included non-current income of €3 million.
Gross capital expenditure excluding frequencies was €706 million at end-June 2025 (versus €778 million in
first-half 2024).
TF1
The TF1 group maintained its leadership in its target segments with high audience ratings: audience share of 33.7% in the WPDM<5018 category and of 30.7% among individuals aged 25-49 in first-half 2025.
Sales at the TF1 group were €1.1 billion in first-half 2025, stable year-on-year.
- Media sales declined slightly by 1% year-on-year, with advertising revenues down 2% year-on-year. TF1+ maintained its strong growth momentum (up 41% year-on-year), confirming the platform's appeal for advertisers.
- Sales at Studio TF1 (formerly Newen Studios) were €128 million in first-half 2025, up 6% year-on-year. These included the €11 million contribution from Johnson Production Group (JPG), which does the majority of its business towards the end of the year.
TF1's COPA was €131 million, broadly stable year-on-year. This included a cost of programmes of €451 million, illustrating TF1's efforts to maintain premium programming. The cost of programmes was down slightly by €8 million versus first-half 2024, notably due to the base effect related to the EURO 2024 soccer tournament. The margin from activities was 11.9%, a slight increase of 0.2 points year-on-year.
FINANCIAL SITUATION
At €13.4 billion, the Group maintained a very high level of liquidity, which comprised €2.2 billion in cash and equivalents, supplemented by €11.2 billion in undrawn medium- and long-term credit facilities.
Net debt at end-June 2025 was €8.5 billion, versus €6.1 billion at end-December 2024 and €8.7 billion at end-June 2024. This represents an improvement of €206 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 €2.5 billion) reflects seasonal effects in the early part of the year.
In first-half 2025, the change in working capital requirements and other was a negative €2.0 billion, which is usual for the first half.
Net gearing19 was 62%, an improvement versus end-June 2024 (65%).
At end-June 2025, the average maturity of the Group's bonds was 7.0 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 has actively studied new models for the city of the future for a number of years. Its approach draws on the innovation expertise of its six business segments and is based on four drivers:
- Energy: the city of the future will generate, store and distribute its own energy at district level to keep pace with changing patterns of use and behaviour.
- Water: urban infrastructure will be designed to support the restoration of the natural water cycle, with rainwater harvesting and reuse systems in buildings.
- Biodiversity: nature will be reintroduced into the city through greening, the reopening of canals, green, blue and black networks20, and noise pollution reduction systems.
- Harmonious living: the challenge is to rebuild a connection between inhabitants and their environment by providing spaces for community life and rethinking mobility solutions.
At VivaTech 2025, the Bouygues group presented its vision for the city of the future through an immersive experience built around the "Living Avenues" urban prototype. This initiative, designed in collaboration with its subsidiaries, implements practical solutions that illustrate the Group's commitment to sustainable and innovative urban development.
"Living Avenues" embodies the Group's ambition to develop its portfolio of solutions as part of its climate strategy.
In first-half 2025, the Bouygues group and its business segments continued to pursue their initiatives and expand their partnerships, illustrating the carbon footprint reduction aspects of the Group's climate strategy.
- Bouygues Construction signed a global partnership with Ecocem, Europe's independent leader in low-carbon cement technologies, that aims to reduce the construction industry's carbon footprint by introducing the ACT low-carbon cement technology Ecocem has developed. Under this partnership, Bouygues Construction's R&D teams will conduct a series of lab- and full-scale trials to confirm the technology's performance in actual worksite conditions. Three separate phases are planned: (i) testing by a French Accreditation Committee-certified (Cofrac) lab, (ii) trials of structural concrete walls in a variety of weather conditions, and (iii) creation of a large-scale prototype model featuring all the structural components. This partnership illustrates Bouygues Construction's commitment to innovation and the environmental transition in the building sector.
- Meanwhile, Bouygues Immobilier has also extended its partnership with Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies until December 2027. Under this strategic alliance, it is able to use zero-clinker cement, which reduces the carbon footprint by 57% compared with that of a conventional CEM II-A cement, the most widely used type on the market at present. This approach reflects a determination to cut buildings' carbon footprint by extending the use of concrete from innovative, decarbonised and zero-clinker cement in its property developments.
- Lastly, Bouygues Telecom signed a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SUEZ, under which the latter will supply 53 GWh per year of low-carbon energy generated in France from 1 January 2027 onwards. The electricity will be generated by recovering energy from household waste and will be used to power Bouygues Telecom's infrastructure. This initiative is fully aligned with Bouygues Telecom's net zero strategy, significantly reducing the carbon emissions from its operations.
