Interview with
the chairman and CEO

All the elements in our model work together to make us more resilient to short-term uncertainties, and more effective at seizing the immense opportunities arising for our business lines, now and in the future.Discover

How would you sum up VINCI’s performance in 2024?
We confirmed, once again, that we can chart our course to virtuous growth. We increased our revenue and earnings despite a generally less favourable economic environment than in 2023 and the new tax on long-distance transport infrastructure operators in France, which added a €284 million charge. Very significantly, our free cash flow hit a new all-time high, giving us extra leeway to push ahead with our development. These solid results stem from our model, which we have strengthened year after year. All the elements in our model work together to make us more resilient to short-term uncertainties, and more effective at seizing the immense opportunities arising for our business lines, now and in the future.
Precisely: what is keeping you resilient amid the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties today?
Firstly, our decentralised model. It is designed to empower our teams to take initiative on the ground. Now that agility is becoming a cardinal value everywhere, we see just how modern our model truly is. At its core, VINCI consists of more than 4,200 autonomous business units operating in their respective markets and geographies, while sharing the strong culture that unites us as a group and the sound management practices that sustain it. And this is reflected in our steady results year after year. Another – equally essential – factor is the variety of business lines and geographies we operate in. Our three main businesses – Concessions, Energy and Construction – are active in a constantly growing number of fields of expertise, contracts, regions and countries. Our international expansion is the most visible sign of this: we generate nearly 60% of our revenue outside France today, up from about 40% only a decade ago, and now make most of our net income outside France. We are now a significant player in 10 or so European countries as well as in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.

How do you see the situation evolving in 2025 and beyond?
The factors underpinning our resilience, which I mentioned earlier, will enable us to stay on course in a geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape where uncertainty is becoming the norm. Our concessions will be sustained by strong demand for mobility worldwide. Our Energy order book is at its highest ever, so we expect this business to grow again in 2025. And the situation at VINCI Construction will vary from country to country but its order book is also very full, so we expect its revenue to remain close to its 2024 level – while focusing principally on improving its operating margin. So we are well equipped to continue delivering robust results and our sound financials put us in a position to move forward with our development strategy in good conditions. Looking further down the road, the environmental transition is a powerful and sustainable lever to develop all our business lines. We have always stated that our aim is to be a force for good through what we do as well as how we do it. That is part of our long-term perspective and vision of all-round performance as we tackle this existential issue for our planet and our companies head-on. We embrace it as a fantastic opportunity to create even more value by re-engineering our materials, methods, products, services and solutions to address environmental concerns. It is an opportunity to make our collective endeavour even more meaningful, in a world where our skills are more useful and playing a more powerful role in driving progress than ever before.
You will hand over your duties as VINCI’s CEO to Pierre Anjolras in spring 2025 while remaining Chairman of the Board of Directors. How are you handling this transition?
Continuity is one of VINCI’s hallmarks – and that applies to its management, strategy and culture. Pierre Anjolras is the perfect personification of our Group. He has spent most of his career with us and shown outstanding managerial flair. We have taken our time to prepare this transition since his appointment as Chief Operating Officer in May 2024. I have every confidence in his ability to lead the Group through the exciting challenges ahead, and I will stand by, placing my experience at the service of the Board of Directors. VINCI has a bright future, and I have no doubt that the coming years will confirm it!

The Group’s strategy is to adapt and hone this robust model as it continues to develop across its three businesses: Concessions, Energy and Construction. VINCI’s priority is to actively engage in the energy and environmental transition, by harnessing its innovation capacity to achieve responsible, sustainable growth.
As it has diversified its areas of expertise, so has VINCI entered more and more international markets.
In 2024, the Group generated 58% of its revenue outside France, compared to 37% a decade earlier.
In addition to a broad range of businesses and markets, VINCI gains its resilience from its management approach. The Group’s highly decentralised organisation and supportive management culture gives its companies and people tremendous agility in adapting to changes and unpredictability in their environment.
Drawing on these solid and shared fundamentals, VINCI will continue to implement its long-term strategy and to develop its three core businesses. In this context of climate emergency, the environment is VINCI’s strategic priority. The Group is tackling this issue by playing an active role in the transition of the built environment, infrastructure and mobility.
VINCI welcomes the energy and environmental transition as a powerful driver for adding new expertise and solutions while supporting its business activities’ long-term growth. The Group’s policy of innovation is building opportunities in this transformation. As novel solutions and services emerge that create environmental value, promising activities open up for the Group’s business lines.
