El Grupo FCC ha demostrado su compromiso con las problaciones afectadas por la DANA y ha proporcionado suministros esenciales para garantizar la salud y la seguridad de los afectados y voluntarios. 

The FCC Group, committed to sustainable development and respect for the environment, promotes the efficient management of resources and the creation of healthy and accessible environments. Its desire for continuous improvement has led it to implement an Energy, Zero Waste and Universal Accessibility Management System that provides the framework for establishing and reviewing energy, environmental and universal accessibility objectives and targets.

In order to achieve this, FCC undertakes the following commitments:

• Comply with all applicable legal or regulatory requirements and others to which it subscribes and, in particular, those referring to the environment and those related to energy efficiency and energy use and consumption, as well as those relating to the so-called DALCO criteria for universal accessibility (Deambulation, Apprehension, Localisation and Communication). 
• Ensure the availability of the information and resources necessary to achieve the objectives and targets for energy efficiency, prevention and reduction of waste generation and universal accessibility for people to guarantee equal opportunities in the access and use of the environment where they carry out their activity.
• Promote the acquisition of energy-efficient products and services that minimise impacts on energy and environmental performance and that favour an accessible environment.
• Support the design of activities that consider the improvement of energy and environmental performance and that favour an accessible environment.
• Involve users through the necessary training and awareness-raising actions to achieve efficient and responsible consumption, the recovery and reduction of waste generated and the improvement of accessibility.
• Promote the use of renewable energies and own or third party surpluses.
• Improve the satisfaction of users of the environments where they carry out their activities.
• Continuously improve the effectiveness of the Management System through processes for detecting opportunities for improvement, establishing objectives and implementing actions that lead the organisation to excellence.

Energy Performance 

FCC has implemented a universal accessibility management system to guarantee equal opportunities in the access and use of the environment where it carries out its activities, adopting measures to ensure universal accessibility.

The company is aware that accessibility is a key factor for the social inclusion of people with disabilities and, each year, one of the company's main challenges focuses on designing solutions that favor the creation of a working environment free of obstacles and barriers, which guarantees the full participation and integration of all the people in the Group, regardless of their abilities. 

Energy Management, Zero Waste and Universal Accessibility Commitments

At its meeting held this afternoon in Madrid, FCC's Shareholders' Meeting approved all the items on the agenda, which included, among others, the annual accounts, the management reports for the 2024 financial year and the distribution of a flexible dividend.

The annual ceremony was presided over by Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, chairwoman of the FCC Group, and Pablo Colio Abril, CEO of the company, who took advantage of this important event to thank the Board of Directors, the management team and all the people who form part of the FCC Group for their efforts during the 2024 financial year, which have contributed to the presentation of good results and to the strengthening and growth of the company, which on 3 July will celebrate its 125th anniversary, a very significant milestone for the FCC Group.

In her address to the shareholders, Esther Alcocer Koplowitz stressed that ‘in times of uncertainty, cohesion and shared vision are our greatest strengths’. She also stressed that the FCC Group's leadership ‘is not only measured by the size of the projects executed, but also by the social, environmental and economic impact we generate’, to which she added that ‘our diversification and financial soundness, together with committed shareholder backing, have enabled us to continue on the path of steady growth’.

For his part, at this annual meeting, the CEO took stock of 2024 and presented the shareholders with a breakdown of the financial results, as well as reporting on the most important events of the year. In his presentation, he referred to FCC's firm commitment to society and the environment, stating that ‘this has been key to our consolidation as a benchmark company, with outstanding management capacity, in-depth technical knowledge and a solid reputation’.

By way of reflection, Pablo Colio wanted to highlight that "our aspiration is to continue advancing in our international expansion, while consolidating our presence in the markets where we already operate. All of this, while remaining faithful to our commitment to build lasting relationships based on trust with the communities, partners, customers and suppliers in each of the territories where we are present". And he ended his speech with a message of conviction, expressing that ‘FCC hopes to be for all the people in its team a project with a long-term, stable and lasting vision’.

View Executive Summary Annual Report

The FCC Group increased its gross operating profit (EBITDA) by 16.6% to 1,529.6 million in 2023, up from 1,311.4 million in 2022, thanks to the stability in the Group's main business areas, with a more significant impact on Cement activity. The consolidated Ebitda operating margin was 16.9%, similar to that obtained last year.

Its turnover rose to 9,026 million euros, 17.1% more than the figure for the previous year. Cement (18.9%) and Construction (43.5%) activities have contributed notably to this growth, followed by a strong increase in the Water area (12.4%). 

In addition, its net operating profit (EBIT) soared 49.1% to 910.3 million euros, thanks to the increased EBITDA and the base effect of the 200 million euro adjustment made to the value of property, plant and equipment and the commercial fund in the Cement area in 2022. 

The attributable net profit was up by 87.5% to 591 million euros for the business year, thanks to the strong performance in operating profit, in addition to the effect of the consolidation under the equity method of Metrovacesa's holding in the Real Estate area, for an approximate amount of 142.4 million euros.

Furthermore, equity was up significantly in December 2023, standing at 6,145.9 million euros, 24.4% higher than the previous business year, thanks to the higher consolidated profit and the impact of the sale of a 24.99% holding in FCC Medio Ambiente's parent company.

At the end of the 2023 financial year, the FCC Group's net financial debt stood at 3,100.1 million euros, 2.9% lower than in 2022.

The revenue backlog stood at 41,620.8 million euros as at 31 December, with a rise of 3.3% on the previous year end, which is largely down to the notable increase in Water activity.

Operational and contracting milestones

FCC completes sale of 24.99% of the Environment parent company for €965 million

On 31 October, Canadian pension fund CPP Investment completed its acquisition of capital in the Environment parent company, following the agreement reached on 1 June for it to acquire a minority stake of 24.99% for an amount of €965 million. The entry of the new shareholder will enhance the position and strategic development of the subsidiary, its areas and geographical footprint. 

The Real Estate area reinforces its competitive position with new acquisitions 

Last December, the real estate area, through its parent company FCyC, consolidated its competitive position by investing €178.8 million in the purchase of shares in Metrovacesa and Realia, maximising the value of all its assets and real-estate opportunities. After these acquisitions, reported to the stock market regulator, its participation amounted to 21.19% in Metrovacesa and 66.29% in Realia.

FCC Medio Ambiente consolidates its presence in the waste treatment sector in the United Kingdom, Spain and the USA 

Last December, FCC Medio Ambiente agreed to buy out the Urbaser Group's business in the United Kingdom. The enterprise value (including debt and equity) amounts to £398 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, customary in this type of transaction. The acquired business in the United Kingdom consists mainly of recycling and waste treatment activities.

In Spain, relevant events included the award to modernise and operate the end-to-end waste management facility in Jerez, serving a population of almost half a million people. The new facilities will increase their recovery capacity and reduce shipment to landfill and are expected to come online in 18 months, with the associated operation contract for a 20-year period and expected revenues of €317 million. Also worth particular mention is street cleaning and municipal solid waste contract for the northern area of the city of Valencia, which was renewed in September for a period of fifteen years, providing a revenue backlog of €486.5 million. 

In the United States the strengthening continues, with the award in the county of St. Johns (Florida) of the municipal solid waste collection service for $575 million; with a duration of seven years and two possible five-year extensions, covering a population of 300,000 residents. The planned investments include the acquisition of a fleet of 62 compressed natural gas collection trucks and 13 auxiliary vehicles. Likewise, work continues to expand and modernize the first recycling center in California (Placer County), with an investment of more than 120 million dollars and an operating period of 20 years. The complex will be one of the biggest of its kind, with a treatment capacity of 650,000 tonnes per year. Finally, the renewal of the municipal solid waste collection contract in the western part of Polk County (Florida) is also worth particular mention, with a turnover coming in at almost €140 million over a period of five years and three possible one-year extensions.

FCC Aqualia expands its international activity and seals its entry into the US market

Last December FCC Aqualia entered the US market with the purchase of MDS (Municipal District Services), a company based in Texas, for 81.4 million euros. MDS manages the comprehensive water cycle of more than 360,000 local residents, mostly in the outskirts of Houston, with nearly 140 service contracts in place with different district clients.

In relation to new end-to-end management contracts, worth particular mention is one for the design, construction, rehabilitation and operation of hydraulic infrastructure in Riohacha-La Guajira in Colombia, with a backlog worth €292.7 million for a duration of 30 years, in addition to the other relevant contracts secured in France and Saudi Arabia. 

As a result of the increase in water cycle management activity, the backlog at the end of the year grew by 7% and international contracts now account for 68.4% of the total in the water management area. 

FCC Construcción secures an important industrial contract in Germany

FCC Industrial, a specialist subsidiary of the Group's construction division, has been awarded, in consortium with other companies, the provisional contract for the construction of a regasification terminal in Germany, the second of its kind in the country, for Hanseatic Energy Hub, with a revenue backlog of €270 million. Likewise, FCC Industrial has also been awarded a contract to build solar facilities in Guillena (Spain), with a total capacity of 263 MW and an investment of 140 million euros.

During the final quarter of the year, worth particular mention is the selection of the consortium led by FCC Construcción to perform works on the new Porto metro line, dubbed Rubi (H), worth more than €379 million. The new line will add 6.3 kilometers to the city's metro network. Furthermore, the joint venture in Spain in which FCC Construction has a holding has been awarded the works for the underground construction of line R2 in Montcada i Reixac (Barcelona) as well as the construction of the new station in this town, for an amount attributable to FCC Construcción of €148.9 million.
