The UK civils and infrastructure arm of Bouygues subsidiary Equans has recorded an almost threefold uplift in pre-tax profit, driven by improved returns across its portfolio of private finance initiative (PFI) contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equans E&S Infrastructure UK\u2019s accounts for the year ending 31 December 2024 show the company increased its pre-tax profit from \u00a3700,000 to \u00a31.6m.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Newcastle-based firm\u2019s turnover for the period dipped from \u00a323.3m in 2023 to \u00a317.1m.<\/span><\/p>\n

But its profit margin broadened from 3 per cent to 9 per cent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe company will continue to provide services to its existing client portfolio and as such expects to achieve a satisfactory performance in 2026 and beyond,\u201d the directors said in the strategic report.<\/span><\/p>\n

They added that Equans E&S Infrastructure only had a \u201crelatively small number of clients\u201d but would support its energy services and facilities management sister company, Equans E&S Solutions, in bids for new contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

No dividends were paid and liquidity was stable, with cash reserves of just over \u00a36m for the second consecutive year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm held no external bank loans or overdraft debt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equans E&S Infrastructure maintains more than 200,000 lighting units for several UK local authorities under 25-year government PFI contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The majority include capital work schemes as an integral part of the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm also delivers work for developers and civils companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is further engaged in project management and specialised civil engineering works, including advanced infrastructure systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bouygues<\/span><\/a> completed the acquisition of fellow French firm Equans in October 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years later, it rebranded its former Bouygues E&S Infrastructure UK business as Equans E&S Infrastructure UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bouygues was ranked 12th in the<\/span> most recent CN100 table<\/span><\/a> of the UK\u2019s largest contractors by turnover.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
