Regulatory News:
Getlink SE (Paris: GET):
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The 3rd quarter performance reflects the solid momentum of the Group's core activities. Eurotunnel achieved record revenue, supported by the attractiveness of LeShuttle service and growth in High-Speed traffic. During the quarter, we successfully completed preparation for the new European Union Entry/Exit System (EES) border controls.

Quarter highlights
- Group
The Group's consolidated revenue for the third quarter grew by 1%, at constant exchange rate, to €472 million.
- Eurotunnel
At €364 million, Eurotunnel's revenue was up 3% compared with the third quarter of 2024.
Shuttle Services
Revenue from Shuttle activity (LeShuttle and LeShuttle Freight) reached €242 million, up 4% in the third quarter compared with the same period last year.
- LeShuttle
- Traffic up by 2% with 796,085 passenger vehicles transported in Q3.
- Increase of car market share to 50.8% (vs 49.8% in Q3 2024), confirming leadership position on the car market.
- Rollout of the new fare structure offering greater booking flexibility to better match customers' needs.
- LeShuttle Freight
- Truck traffic down 3% in Q3 compared to Q3 2024, impacted by a subdued economic environment in Great Britain and continued intense competition on the cross-Channel market that is in overcapacity.
- Market share at 34.8% (vs 35.1% in Q3 2024).
Railway Network
Railway Network revenue was stable at €108 million, with the Group benefiting in Q3 2024 from a one-off increase in energy cost recharges.
Eurostar recorded excellent traffic growth, with a 7% increase in Q3, driven in particular by the reopening of the international terminal at Amsterdam Centraal station and the gradual increase in the number of rotations.
- Europorte
Europorte's revenue was up 5% to €42 million.
Over the quarter, Europorte grew across all its segments and benefited from the integration of recent acquisitions. The traction activity was driven particularly by the grain, cement and petrochemicals sectors.
- Eleclink
In the third quarter, Eleclink's revenue amounted to €66 million, down 13%, impacted by the expected normalisation of electricity markets.
Interconnector maintained an availability rate of around 97% in the third quarter.
The Group continued to participate in auctions. At 30 September, Eleclink had secured nearly €217 million in revenue for 20254 (representing 97% of capacity). For 2026, €176 million in revenue (59% of capacity) has been secured, subject to effective delivery of the service.
Guidance
The third-quarter performance enables the Group to confirm its EBITDA target for 2025 of between €780 million and €830 million5
This guidance takes into account:
- Reasonable growth assumptions for Eurotunnel based on the commercial momentum observed in an environment which remains competitive.
- The gradual implementation of EES-related controls at Eurotunnel sites as of October 2025. These new border formalities have been the subject of intensive preparation to make it a competitive advantage.
- The revenue already secured for Eleclink (as at 30 September, 97% of the cable's capacity for 2025 has been sold for total revenue of €217 million, subject to effective delivery of the service), the consequences of the suspension of activity until 5 February and between 19 May and 2 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.
