CFE FY25: In line results, solid debt reduction, margin strength in Construction

Over FY25, revenues equalled €1042m (-12% YoY) but EBIT up sharply at €44.9m (+40.3% YoY). The net result stood at €33.5m (LY: €24m). As such, the posted net result exceeds guidance calling for 2025 net profit close to the 2024 level. The company proposed a gross dividend of €0.50ps (€0.4PS LY). The consolidated order book stood at €1633m (vs. €1646m LY and €1650m per 9m25). Thanks to strong OCF of €64m, net debt turned into a net cash position of €43.8M (€41.7m net debt LY) . For 2026, CFE expects net income close to that of 2025. Supported by the orderbook, encouraging margin trends in Construction and an all time low net debt level we keep our Buy rating on valuation grounds.
