By GlobalDataThe company’s operating income from ordinary operations was €3.5bn, a rise from €2.8bn in H1 2022.
VINCI’s Construction business is expected to have more business development while remaining selective in accepting new work, allowing it to maintain its operating margin.
Order intake within the Construction segment grew 6% to €14.9bn, boosted by robust flow business.
VINCI chair and CEO Xavier Huillard said: “Confirming the positive trend seen in 2022, VINCI’s overall performance in the first half of 2023 was of very high quality: in addition to further growth in revenue and earnings, it generated positive free cash flow despite the adverse impact of seasonal variations in its businesses at the start of the year.
“VINCI Construction, whose new organisation has now been in place for two years, achieved firm business levels both in France and internationally, and improved its operating margin by being even more selective when taking on new projects.”
