The Board of Directors of Buzzi SpA has met today to examine the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2025, including the draft statutory financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and the review of operations, including the consolidated sustainability statement in compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 125/2024.
During 2025, the global economy demonstrated a solid capacity for resilience, despite a context marked by trade tensions and geopolitical pressures. According to recent estimates, global GDP growth stood at around 3.2%, confirming a moderate but stable pace. However, the performance of major economies was uneven: the United States and China recorded positive growth, driven mainly by consumption and capital spending, albeit at slower rates compared to previous years. In the Eurozone, the recovery remained more subdued, affected by weak domestic demand, limited investment and less favorable external conditions. On the price front, inflation in OECD countries continued to gradually decline toward central banks’ targets, although in some economies it remained above target levels, amid still cautious monetary policies.
In the United States, economic activity continued its expansion path, driven primarily by domestic demand. GDP recorded moderate growth compared to previous years, while inflation followed a gradual downward trajectory, although it remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
In Europe, growth remained moderate, supported by household consumption and public spending, while investment was affected by uncertainty and restrictive financial conditions. According to recent projections, real GDP in the region is estimated to have increased by around 1.4% in 2025, with a slight slowdown expected in the following years. Industrial activity showed signs of weakness, while services continued to provide the main contribution to growth. Among the major economies, Germany exhibited particularly fragile dynamics, whereas Italy recorded modest but positive growth.
Among the main emerging economies in which the group operates, growth in Brazil was driven mainly by domestic demand, while investment remained subdued due to restrictive monetary policies and international uncertainty. In Mexico, economic expansion was weak, with stagnant domestic demand and pressure on consumption. By contrast, the United Arab Emirates recorded robust growth, supported by both the energy sector and non-oil sectors, particularly tourism, construction, and financial services.
In 2025, major central banks followed differentiated strategies, calibrating their decisions based on inflation trends and growth prospects. The Federal Reserve initiated a gradual easing of monetary policy, bringing the federal funds rate to 3.50–3.75% in December. The European Central Bank, after implementing several rate cuts in the first half of the year, kept rates unchanged in the second half, reaffirming its objective of bringing inflation back to 2% over the medium term. Among emerging economies, the Bank of Mexico continued with gradual rate reductions, while the Central Bank of Brazil maintained a restrictive stance to contain inflationary pressures.
During the fiscal year, there were two significant changes in the scope of consolidation. In January, the preliminary agreements in the Alpe-Adria area with the Austrian group Wietersdorfer were executed, relating to the sale of the Fanna (PN) cement plant to Alpacem Cementi Italia and the acquisition of a 25% stake in Alpacem Zement Austria. In May, the group also entered the Middle Eastern market through the acquisition of a controlling stake in Gulf Cement Company, a publicly listed entity on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange, based in Ras Al Khaimah, engaged in the production of cement for both the local market and export.
On a like-for-like basis, cement volumes would have remained substantially stable compared to the previous year. However, taking into account the changes that occurred during the year, sales of hydraulic binders increased by 21.2%, rising from 26.3 million tons in 2024 to 31.9 million tons in 2025. Ready-mix concrete sales also recorded an increase compared to the previous year, up 1.8% to reach 9.9 million cubic meters.
Consolidated net sales increased from €4,313.0 to €4,518.8 million, up 4.8% compared with the previous year. In 2025, revenue benefited from changes in the scope of consolidation, which contributed positively by €233.1 million. Exchange rate fluctuations, on the other hand, had an overall negative impact of €50.7 million, mainly due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Brazilian real and the dirham. On a like-for-like basis, both in terms of exchange rates and scope, net revenues would have remained substantially stable compared to 2024 (+0.5%).
In Italy, average selling prices for both cement and ready-mix concrete increased; however, net sales amounted to €790.9 million, down 3.3% compared to 2024, mainly due to the disposal of the Fanna plant. In the United States, price stability, combined with a reduction in sales volumes, led to revenue of €1,605.8 million compared to €1,726.8 million in the previous year. In Central Europe, the increase in volumes of hydraulic binders and ready-mix concrete supported revenue growth, which reached €967.3 million compared to €947.0 million in 2024. Performance in Eastern Europe was positive, with net sales rising 8.4% to €810.2 million compared to €747.5 million in the previous year. In Brazil, net sales stood at €363.0 million, down 2.9% on a pro-forma basis compared to the previous year, in which line-by-line consolidation occurred only from the fourth quarter onward. Finally, the consolidation of activities in the United Arab Emirates starting in May contributed €85.5 million to group revenue.
Consolidated EBITDA stood at €1,236.6 million, down 3.1% compared to €1,276.1 million of 2024. Performance was negatively affected by foreign exchange effect, with an adverse impact of €20.4 million, while changes in the scope of consolidation contributed positively by €61.2 million. The result for the year includes net non-recurring costs of €2.5 million, down compared to €4.5 million in 2024. Excluding non-recurring items, EBITDA stood at €1,234.1 million, EBITDA to sales margin standing at 27.3% (29.5% in 2024).
After amortization of €330.4 million (€272.3 million in 2024) and impairment of fixed assets of €8.0 million (€1.9 million in 2024), Ebit stood at €898.1 million, down from €1,001.9 million in the previous year. Net financial income increased significantly, from €74.9 million to €153.4 million, mainly due to positive foreign exchange differences. Equity in earnings of associates decreased from €147.1 million to €125.6 million, primarily as a result of the transition to full consolidation of our assets in Brazil. In light of the above, profit before tax amounted to €1,177.4 million, up from €1,093.2 million in 2024. The tax burden totaled €253.3 million from €150.7 million the previous year. The corresponding effective tax rate increased from 13.8% to 21.5%, mainly due to the use of deferred tax assets on prior losses and net deductible interest. Consequently, 2025 closed with net profit of €924.1 million (€942.5 million in 2024), of which €921.3 million was attributable to the owners of the parent company.
Consolidated net financial position at the end of 2025 stood at €1,130.9 million, up from €755.2 million in 2024. During the year, the company distributed dividends totaling €126.7 million. Total capital expenditures reached €591.1 million, of which €166.2 million were allocated to equity investments, including the acquisition of a controlling stake in Gulf Cement Company in the United Arab Emirates, the purchase of the remaining minority interest in Nacional Cimentos Paraíba in Brazil and a 25% stake in Alpacem Zement Austria. Industrial investments amounted to €421.6 million, of which approximately €90 million were directed toward decarbonization programs and environmental performance improvements. These investments include research and development activities, projects to increase the production of cements with a lower clinker content, the greater use of alternative fuels and the in-house production of electricity. During the year, capital expenditures for expansion projects totaled €42.3 million.
As at 31 December 2025, total equity, inclusive of non-controlling interests, stood at €7,137.7 million versus €6,606.1 million at 2024 year-end. Consequently, the debt/equity ratio decreased to 25% from 31% in the previous year, reflecting a strengthening of the financial position of the group.
Looking at the separate financial statements of the parent company Buzzi SpA, the net financial position at the end of the financial year shows a net debt of €208.6 million compared to €556.3 million as of 31 December 2024.
ITALY
In Italy, the construction market, according to initial sector evidence, shows an increase in activity compared to 2024, driven mainly by public works and infrastructure investments. However, weakness persists in the residential segment, which is struggling to recover more robust levels despite the support of incentives and tax measures.
In this context, sales of hydraulic binders, taking into account the exit of the Fanna (PN) plant from the consolidation scope, remained substantially stable compared to 2024, while the ready-mix concrete sector recorded notable growth, with volumes increasing by 6.0% compared to the previous year. Overall for the year, average selling prices, both in the cement and ready-mix concrete segments, showed a positive trend. The group’s net sales in Italy amounted to €790.9 million (€818.0 million in 2024), and EBITDA came in at €184.0 million (€196.6 million in 2024). At constant consolidation scope, revenues would have increased by 2.1% and EBITDA by 0.6%. The 2025 figure includes non-recurring income of €7.1 million (compared to €0.4 million in 2024). Excluding these items, EBITDA would have amounted to €176.9 million.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
During 2025, in the United States the construction sector continued to show mixed dynamics: the residential segment benefited from demand for renovation and upgrading of existing properties, while access to credit acted as a constraint on new housing projects and investments in the commercial segment. Public works and the non-residential segment showed stronger growth, with an increasing role played by infrastructure linked to the technological and digital transition, such as data centers and energy networks.
Our cement sales recorded a significant decline in the first part of the year, affected by weak demand and unfavorable weather conditions; however, a gradual recovery was observed in the second half, making it possible to close the year at levels only slightly below those of 2024 (-2.2%). In the ready-mix concrete segment, mainly concentrated in Texas, volumes instead confirmed a negative trend throughout the year, with a decrease of 6.3% compared to 2024 levels. In this context, the average cement price in local currency remained in line with the previous year, while ready-mix concrete prices recorded a slight decline.
The combination of volume dynamics and price trends resulted in total revenues of €1,605.8 million, down 7.0% compared to €1,726.8 million in 2024, while EBITDA amounted to €584.8 million, decreasing from €663.8 million in the previous year (-11.9%). Performance was significantly affected by the negative impact of the currency depreciation (-4.4%); at constant exchange rates, the decline in net sales would have been more limited (-2.9%), while EBITDA would have recorded a decrease of 8.0%. Unit production costs were at a level similar to that of the previous year.
CENTRAL EUROPE
In Germany, looking at the construction industry, the weakness of the macroeconomic environment resulted in only a partial recovery in investment, following the sharp contraction of previous years. Uncertainty regarding financial conditions and persistent issues in the real estate market continued to weigh on the residential segment, while infrastructure investments benefited only to a limited extent from increased public spending and fiscal programs aimed at developing medium- to long-term infrastructure projects.
Our sales of hydraulic binders and ready-mix concrete showed growth compared to the previous year, at 4.8% and 2.6% respectively. Over the same period, average selling prices declined compared to 2024. In this context, the group’s revenue amounted to €801.2 million (2024: €792.3 million). Conversely, EBITDA stood at €121.7 million, down from €164.1 million in 2024. The result for the year under review includes non-recurring costs of €4.5 million; excluding these extraordinary items, recurring EBITDA reached €126.2 million. In the cement segment, there was an increase in spending on raw materials and energy, contributing to higher variable costs, while in the ready-mix concrete sector a slight decrease in unit production costs was observed. In the year under review, no costs were incurred for CO₂ emission allowances.
In Luxembourg and the Netherlands, cement sales volumes increased by 12.1% compared to 2024, supported by the strong growth recorded in the first half of the year. In the second part of the year, the pace of expansion slowed down, while still remaining overall above the levels of the previous period. A similar trend characterized the ready-mix concrete segment, which closed the year with volume growth of 7.0%. This positive performance is mainly attributable to the development of exports, which offset still weak domestic demand. Average selling prices showed a slight decline; however, the significant increase in volumes offset this trend, allowing net sales to grow from €183.0 million in 2024 to €196.8 million in 2025. EBITDA, benefiting from greater operating leverage, amounted to €26.0 million, up compared to the previous year. Unit production costs improved compared to 2024 and, during the year, no operating costs were incurred for CO₂ emission allowances.
EASTERN EUROPE
In Poland, the macroeconomic environment, based on the most recent forecasts, points to a consolidation of the recovery that began in 2024. Investments in infrastructure and in the non-residential segment are expected to grow, supported by an acceleration in public spending and the gradual absorption of European funds. The residential construction sector, on the other hand, shows mixed signals, affected by still burdensome credit conditions and a moderate pace of new developments. The transition to the new EU financial framework also continues to affect the timing of the launch and execution of certain infrastructure projects.
In this economic context, the decline in demand for hydraulic binders, already observed in the third quarter, was confirmed in the final months of the year. However, the very positive results achieved in the first half made it possible to offset the slowdown recorded in the second part of the period, allowing the year to close with overall volume growth of 12.9%. In the ready-mix concrete segment, the trend was less favorable, showing a decline in volumes of 2.4%. On the pricing front, cement recorded a slight decrease, mainly due to strong competition from imports, while average concrete prices increased. Net sales reached €196.0 million, marking a 12.8% year-on-year increase; at constant exchange rates (+1.5%), growth would have been 11.1%. EBITDA amounted to €57.2 million, up 42.6% compared to €40.1 million in 2024, benefiting from favorable translation into euro; at constant exchange rates, EBITDA would have increased by 40.4%. Unit production costs improved, mainly due to lower electricity expenses, despite higher raw material costs. During the year, operating costs for CO₂ emission allowances amounted to €3.2 million.
In the Czech Republic, the construction sector showed further momentum, supported by public investment in infrastructure, the development of real estate initiatives and the use of European funds. Despite pressures on material costs and constraints in the supply of skilled labor, the sector supported the growth of the national economy, showing a more favorable trend compared to 2024.
Deliveries of hydraulic binders exhibited a rising pattern, with an increase in volumes sold of 1.0%. Ready-mix concrete recorded stronger growth (+7.9%), supported both by the start-up of two new batching plants and by the increase in construction sites in Prague and Bohemia, which contributed to sales growth. In both segments, an increase in prices in local currency was observed. Consolidated net sales therefore increased from €208.5 million to €221.3 million (+6.1%), while EBITDA rose from €68.0 million to €74.9 million (+10.1%). The appreciation of the local currency against the euro (+1.7%) contributed positively to the conversion of results. Excluding this effect, net sales would have increased by 4.4%, while EBITDA would have grown by 8.2%. Unit production costs decreased, mainly due to the favorable trend in variable components. During the year, no costs were incurred for CO₂ emission allowances.
In Russia, in compliance with the sanctions adopted by the European institutions, as early as May 2022 Buzzi stopped all involvement in the operational activities of its local subsidiaries. Consequently, decisions relating to the investment can only be taken through the shareholders' meeting and are limited to those which, according to the Commercial Code of Russia, are the responsibility of this body, as well as decisions of an extraordinary nature as defined in the bylaws. The information available to us regarding the trend in demand and the construction market is therefore very limited. At the balance sheet date, the value of our net assets in Russia totaled €496.8 million.
The group’s sales in the country showed a decline in volumes compared to 2024 (-5.4%), largely attributable to the weakness recorded in the fourth quarter. Prices showed a positive trend in the early months of the year, before gradually declining, while still remaining on average higher than in the previous year. Net sales amounted to €303.1 million, up from €294.0 million in 2024. The favorable exchange rate development (+6.1%) supported the translation into euro; excluding this effect, revenues would have decreased by 3.1%. EBITDA came in at €76.7 million, down 21.0% compared to the previous year, while at constant exchange rates the decline would have been 25.8%. Profitability was affected by the increase in unit production costs, impacting both fixed and variable components.
BRAZIL (line-by-line consolidation from the fourth quarter of 2024)
In Brazil, the construction sector continued to show an overall favorable trend, supported by infrastructure demand and a gradual improvement in the macroeconomic environment. However, some underlying issues remain, particularly in terms of labor productivity and the availability of skilled workforce, which continue to constrain the full expansion of the sector.
The year marks the first full consolidation of operations in the country. On a pro-forma basis compared to 2024, the volumes of hydraulic binders sold by the group increased by 2.7%, while prices in local currency showed a progressive strengthening during the year, closing at levels higher than those of the previous year. In this context, net sales amounted to €363.0 million, marking a decrease of 2.9% compared to 2024, while EBITDA reached €103.9 million, up 4.0% versus 2024. The result was negatively affected by currency translation (-8.2%); excluding this effect, net sales and EBITDA would have shown an increase of 5.0% and 12.6%, respectively.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (line-by-line consolidation starting from May 2025)
In the United Arab Emirates, the construction sector continues to show a solid and steady growth path, supported by strong public and private investment activity. In particular, programs related to energy development, public utility infrastructure, transport systems and power generation plants are significantly feeding the project pipeline, helping to strengthen the sector’s medium- to long-term outlook.
Our operations in the country, consolidated starting from May following the acquisition of a controlling stake in Gulf Cement Company, generated revenues of €85.5 million and EBITDA of €7.5 million. The result reflects the increase in cement sales volumes in the domestic market, which shows growth on a pro-forma basis compared to 2024, accompanied by an upward trend in prices, in turn supported by strengthening domestic demand.
MEXICO (valued by the equity method)
Cement sales volumes of our subsidiary in 2025 recorded a decline of 1.2% compared to the previous year. The decrease in ready-mix concrete volumes was more pronounced, falling by 13.4%. In contrast, selling prices showed a positive trend.
Considering 100% of the joint venture, net sales amounted to €940.4 million, down from €998.3 million recorded in 2024. The depreciation of the Mexican peso (-9.3%) negatively affected the translation of results into euro; at constant exchange rates, net sales would have increased by 2.9%. EBITDA reached €431.3 million, down 3.1% compared to the previous year. At constant exchange rates, however, the result would have shown an increase of 5.9%. Unit production costs recorded a slight decrease, mainly due to the improvement in the variable component, driven by lower energy and raw material costs.
The equity earnings referring to Mexico, included in the line item that encompasses the investments valued by the equity method, amount to €100.2 million (€113.5 million in 2024).
OUTLOOK
Economic forecasts for 2026 outline a broadly stable global growth scenario, supported by investments in technology, innovation and infrastructure, as well as by still-dynamic demand in some of the world’s major economies. In addition to the already known downside risks -among which geopolitical tensions, ongoing conflicts in various regions and uncertainties surrounding international trade – the recent developments in the Middle East outbreak introduce a further significant risk element compared to the macroeconomic and operating scenario initially envisaged for 2026. In particular, a likely increase in energy prices could have a material impact on the trend of our operating costs.
With regard to the construction sector, in Italy the most recent estimates indicate a decline in the residential segment, while public works are expected to continue benefiting from the effects of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). Accordingly, we expect some slowdown in our sales volumes compared to the previous year, while price trends will be influenced not only by demand but also by the “CO₂ emission allowances” factor, in a context marked by the introduction of the so-called CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and a possible revision of the ETS system during the year.
In the United States, forecasts for 2026 indicate a continued contraction in the residential segment, while the non-residential sector - although supported by strong demand in specific segments such as data centers and digital infrastructure - is also expected to show a slight overall decline, with more variable performance in traditional segments such as offices and retail. In this context, our sales are expected to remain broadly stable. On the other hand, the decline in demand since 2022, the resulting higher available domestic capacity, the persistent pressure from imports (particularly in certain states), the extraordinary transactions that have reshaped the industry and the dismantling of climate policies are all factors that may lead to pressure on selling prices and force changes in product mix strategy.
In Central Europe, 2026 is expected to mark a gradual recovery in the construction sector. In Germany, a slight improvement in activity is anticipated, supported by a recovery in the residential segment and public investment in infrastructure linked to the federal government’s plan to strengthen transport, energy and digital networks. Our sales volumes are expected to show modest growth compared to 2025.
In the Czech Republic and Poland, demand is expected to remain dynamic, driven by government stimulus plans in residential construction and infrastructure. In light of these prospects, sales volumes are therefore expected to be slightly higher than in 2025.
In Brazil, we expect a favorable trend supported by domestic demand, with volumes posting a slight increase and prices strengthening. In the United Arab Emirates, we estimate that 2026 sales volumes - fully consolidated - will show a positive trend and prices too, thanks to solid domestic demand, albeit with potential, more visible risks linked to recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East.
As for Russia, the current governance structure does not allow us to access sufficient information to formulate forecasts on market prospects for the current year.
In Mexico, following the contraction of the construction sector in 2025, a slight recovery is expected.
Across the various markets in which we operate, we will seek to implement a pricing strategy aimed at preserving margins, despite a competitive environment characterized by high uncertainty. With regard to operating costs, recent military actions undertaken by the United States against Iran generate significant geopolitical risks, particularly related to potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately one-fifth of the world’s oil supply transits. This could result in further increases in energy prices, inflationary pressures and greater market volatility.
The macroeconomic and industry environment remains uncertain and, at this stage, does not allow us to accurately assess the actual impact on our operating performance. However, based on the information currently available, we consider it likely that in 2026 recurring EBITDA will experience a slight contraction compared with the previous year. We will provide the market with more precise guidance as soon as we gain clearer visibility on short term developments.
With regard to the capital expenditures approved for 2026, we expect a further acceleration of the planned initiatives. The plan includes numerous projects aimed at continuously improving operational efficiency and reducing CO₂ emissions, in line with the decarbonization targets set out in the Roadmap. Additional initiatives are also planned to expand production capacity and strengthen the distribution network.
