Outlook and guidance
Record backlog supports the second half of 2026; focus remains on operational excellence, project controls and disciplined execution.
Management expects current EBITDA margin levels to be maintained despite conflict-related uncertainty, supported by contract contingencies and client discussions on cost compensation.
U.S. data center opportunities are expected to continue, with at least three years of visibility; longer-term growth remains uncertain.
Management expects improved clarity on Middle East opportunities in Q4; higher annual awards in 2026–27 remain uncertain as proposed projects have yet to reach the market.
Concession dividends are expected to reach USD 15M–17M by 2027; 900 MW of wind capacity is under development and Project Wave is being finalized.
