  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 21.8% and revenue rose by 10.8% year over year on a like-for-like basis1
  • Highways in North America showed robust revenue growth, while Construction profitability exceeded the average long-term target, supported by a healthy order book1
  • Recent U.S. P3 project wins underscore the strength of Ferrovial’s distinctive business model and its ability to create long-term value

Ferrovial, a leading global infrastructure company, reported strong operating results for the first nine months of 2026, supported by the robust performance of its U.S. Express Lanes and a solid contribution from its Construction division, resulting in double-digit like-for-like1 growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA1.

“The first nine months of 2026 demonstrated the strength of Ferrovial’s business model, driven by the solid performance of our Highways and Construction businesses, particularly in North America. We believe our focus on high-quality infrastructure in growing markets continues to position us to deliver attractive returns. Our recent successes in Tennessee and Georgia reflect the expertise we have built and the strong track record of our managed lanes projects in the United States. These milestones create new opportunities to seek long-term value generation for Ferrovial and its stakeholders through successful public-private partnerships,” said Ignacio Madridejos, Ferrovial CEO.

In August 2026, a Ferrovial-led consortium was selected to deliver Tennessee’s I-24 Southeast Choice Lanes in Nashville, reaching commercial close in September. On October 15, another Ferrovial-led consortium also secured the I-285 East Express Lanes project in Greater Atlanta, Georgia. Ferrovial continues to assess public-private partnership projects in other U.S. states. In addition, the company is part of the consortium awarded the contract to develop the D35 Highway in the Czech Republic.

Ferrovial closed the first nine months of 2026 with a solid financial position, with liquidity1 of €5.1 billion and consolidated net cash1 of €1.7 billion, excluding infrastructure projects in both cases.
