    Sacyr's net profit reaches €92 million (+36%) while the value of its assets increases to €3.25 billion
    03/11/2023

    Between January and September 2023, Sacyr obtained an EBITDA of €980 million, 12% more than the same period in 2022. Operating cash flow increased 29% to €487 million, and net profit reached €92 million, up 36%.

    These figures take into account the restatement of the 2022 accounts, reporting Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales’ and Sacyr Facilities’ activities as discontinued. The sale of Valoriza to Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners was closed on October 31st and the Sacyr Facilities sale will conclude before year-end. 

    Sacyr’s growth in 2023 is the result of its transformation into a profitable P3 infrastructure company that continually creates value

    In fact, Sacyr estimates that in December 2023 the value of its P3 assets will reach €3.25 billion, an increase of €443 million compared to the last valuation performed on Investor Day in October 2021.

    Sacyr has consolidated its position as the third largest developer of transport assets, according to PWF magazine, and one of the largest infrastructure P3 companies in the world. 90% of the company’s EBITDA—€880 million—comes from P3 assets, which provide a predictable and stable business model.

    Record profitability

    In September, the company’s profitability (EBITDA margin) stood at a record 30.2%, 4.9 percentage points higher than in the same period of 2022. This rise in profitability goes hand-in-hand with Sacyr’s transformation into a P3 firm. 

    Revenue, meanwhile, closed the quarter at €3.2 billion.

    Recourse net debt reduction

    Sacyr closed Q3 2023 with recourse net debt of €661 million. The sale of both Valoriza and Sacyr Facilities will contribute to drastically reducing this debt: after the Q3 close, Sacyr collected €420 million from the divestment of Valoriza and expects to complete the sale of Facilities before the end of the year.

    As part of the company’s financial management, Sacyr succeeded in the early unwind of the options held on Repsol shares, resulting in an inflow of €31 million in cash and tying up its financial position in the Spanish energy company. 

    Increased shareholder remuneration

    Shareholder remuneration is one of the core aspects of the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. In 2023, the company raised shareholder remuneration to €0.136 per share, paid out in two scrip dividends in January and July.  

    Evolution by business unit

    Concessions.- Sacyr Concesiones obtained an EBITDA of €633 million (+17%), thanks to the good operating performance of its assets, the contribution of the Ruta 78 and Los Vilos highways in Chile, and the fact that all revenue from P3 assets is linked to inflation. 

    Sacyr continues demonstrating its capacity to commission new P3 assets. In 2023, Rutas del Este (Paraguay) entered operation and another three assets will begin operating soon: Pedemontana-Veneta (Italy), Ferrocarril Central (Uruguay), and Pamplona-Cúcuta (Colombia).

    In addition, as part of the active management of the asset portfolio, the company sold its 49% stake in the Autovía del Eresma (Spain) and the N6 in Ireland. 

    Engineering and Infrastructure.-  Revenue reached €2 billion and EBITDA grew 6% to €322 million

    This division is firmly committed to profitability over volume, resulting in an uptick in EBITDA margin to 16%, relative to 14% in the same period of 2022. Excluding the effect of Italy’s Pedemontana-Veneta and A3 highways, profitability stands at 4.6%, as opposed to 3.7% in 2022. 

    The division’s backlog closed at €7.5 billion, up 2% from December 2022. More than 52% of that figure corresponds to Sacyr Concesiones projects and represents 34 months of activity.

  • Sacyr raises Ebitda by 28% to €645 million and reaches €64 million net profit (+52%)

    Sacyr raises Ebitda by 28% to €645 million and reaches €64 million net profit (+52%)
    28/07/2023

    In the first half of 2023, Sacyr progressed with its transformation strategy into an infrastructure P3 company, that is profitable and continually creating value.

    As part of this P3 strategy, Sacyr announced the sale of Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales (VSM) to Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners back in June and reached an agreement on the divestment of Sacyr Facilities in July. Given these operations, the company restated the 1H 2022 financial statements to report Valoriza’s and Facilities’ activities as discontinued. 

    In the first half of 2023, the company’s EBITDA reached €645 million, a 28% increase compared to the same period in 2022 after the aforementioned restatement.

    Operating cash flow increased by nearly 40% to €360 million.

    These steep growth results are due to the commissioning of new highway sections and a good P3 asset performance, which already comprise 90% of Sacyr’s EBITDA, providing a predictable and stable business model.

    This continual value creation translates into an asset portfolio valuation of over €3 billion.

    Record profitability

    The company’s profitability (EBITDA margin) stood at a record 29.8% in June, 6.6 points higher than in 1H 2022.

    In turn, revenues in June were €2,164 million. 78% of the revenue stream comes from international projects.

    Net profit for the semester reached €64 million (+52%)

    Major infrastructure project in the U.S.

    2023 milestones include the selection for negotiations to execute the design, construction and operation and management for 50 years from its entry into operation of a stretch of the I-10 in Louisiana (USA)

    The project, with an investment of US$2.1 billion (around €1.9 billion), includes  the construction of a new eight-lane bridge (four lanes in each direction) over the Calcasieu River.

    This contract, one of the largest in the group’s portfolio, gives a boost to the strategic goal of increasing the proportion of company activities in English-speaking markets.

    Not accounting this project, Sacyr’s backlog grew by 8% in 1H2023, up to €55.86 billion. 90% of the backlog is from international projects, and 86% from the P3 business unit activity. 

    Other noteworthy contracts this semester include the regeneration of the degraded Canal del Dique ecosystems (Colombia) for €560 million, the construction of a section of FGC Line 8 in Barcelona for €300 million, several real estate promotions in Spain valued at over €225 million, and the owner engineering aspects of a new LNG terminal in Germany for €29 million, among others.

    Divestments and net recourse debt reduction 

    Sale operations of Valoriza and Facilities, attributing both companies a €734 and €87 million enterprise value each, will strengthen Sacyr’s marked focus on P3, and will contribute to the drastic reduction of net recourse debt in 2023. 
    At 1H2023 close, debt reached €627 million, compared to €644 million in March 2023.

    Increased shareholder remuneration

    Shareholder remuneration is one of the core aspects of the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. In 2023, the company raised shareholder remuneration to € 0.136 per share, paid out in two scrip dividends in January and July.

    Evolution by business unit

    Concesiones.- Sacyr Concesiones obtained €911 million (+5%) in revenues and a €425 million (+45%) EBITDA, thanks to the good operating performance of its assets, the contribution of the Ruta 78 and Los Vilos highways in Chile, and increased traffic volume in Spain.

    Sacyr continues demonstrating its capacity to commission new P3 assets, and another four will enter operation in 2023: Pedemontana-Veneta (Italy), Ferrocarril Central (Uruguay), Rutas del Este (Paraguay) and Pamplona-Cúcuta (Colombia).

    Moreover, as part of its rotation strategy of mature, non-strategic assets, Sacyr sold 49% of Autovía del Eresma (Spain). 

    Sacyr Concesiones is the world’s fourth largest infrastructure P3 developer and has 69 assets worldwide, 58 of which are operational.

    Engineering and Infrastructure.- Revenues for this business unit were €1,327 million, below June 2022 figures due to its strategy to prioritize profitability before volume.

    In turn, the EBITDA grew by 2%, up to €198 million, and the EBITDA margin reached 15%, as opposed to 13% in the same period in 2022. Excluding the effect of the Italian Pedemontana-Veneta and A3 highways, profitability was 4.3%, as opposed to 3.7% in 2022. 

    The division’s backlog ended at €7.342 million, similar to that in December 2022. 55% of this figure corresponds to Sacyr Concesiones projects and represents 33 months of activity.

    "We continue to see an increase in both interest and membership globally, reflecting a shared goal of transparency in gender-related metrics”, he added.

    To construct the GEI, Bloomberg assesses gender equality practices in companies across five pillars: leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.

    Barrier breakers
    Some of the greatest challenges in traditionally male-dominated fields are opening the doors to female talent and ending the glass ceiling. Sacyr is above the industry average in indicators such as new hires, percentage of women in the workforce, and women in executive and middle management roles.

    The company, that obtained the highest possible score in disclosure, positioned itself as the highest-scored in the transport infrastructure industry and got remarkable results in the ‘Equal pay & gender pay parity’ chapter.

    “For Sacyr, this new milestone represents the recognition of our commitment to equality and talent, both cornerstones of the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan”, highlighted Patricia Martínez, Chief People Officer at Sacyr.

    Committed to gender equality
    As part of its commitment to equality, Sacyr has a Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy and a Protocol for the prevention and action in cases of harassment and discrimination, as well as an action plan to increase women in leadership.

    Additionally, Sacyr also sponsors STEM education programs for women and girls and is signatory of the UN Women's Empowerment Principles and participates in the Target Gender Equality program, both Global Compact initiatives.
