4.A.1Summary of Historical Investments and Divestments
The following summary provides an overview of certain of our transactions, including certain investments and
divestments for the year 2025. For an overview of our investments and divestments by segment during the period, see
“Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—7. Investments and
divestments.”
4.A.1.1.Acquisition of an additional 5.06% stake of 407 ETR.
On June 6, 2025, Ferrovial completed the acquisition of approximately 3.3% of the common shares in the Canadian
highway company 407 ETR from affiliates of AtkinsRéalis Group Inc., and exercised its call option to acquire an
additional 1.76% on June 11 2025. The total investment for Ferrovial amounted to CAD $1.99 billion (EUR 1.3
billion), increasing its total ownership of the 407 ETR from 43.23% to 48.3%. No third party financing was used for
this acquisition.
As part of this acquisition, and in connection with the purchase price allocation exercise, the difference between the
fair value of the 5.06% stake acquired and its carrying amount at the acquisition date (EUR 1.5 billion), was fully
allocated as an intangible asset. The investment in 407 ETR continues to be accounted for under the equity method.
4.A.1.2.Divestment of AGS Airport.
On November 13, 2024, through our subsidiary Hubco Netherlands B.V we announced an agreement with Avialliance
UK Limited for the sale of our entire stake (50%) in AGS Airports Holdings Limited (“AGS”), the parent company
owning the Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton Airports. As part of the agreement, Macquarie (Ferrovial’s joint
venture partner in AGS) also agreed to sell its entire stake (50%) in AGS. The agreement valued 100% of the stake at
£900 million, representing the equity value for a 100% interest in AGS and was subject to certain closing adjustments
and transaction costs. This price represents an enterprise value (EV) estimated at £1,535 billion. Following satisfaction
of applicable regulatory conditions, the sale was completed on January 28, 2025 for a price of GBP 900 million, of
which approximately GBP 450 million are Ferrovial net proceeds. This operation gave rise to a capital gain of EUR
272 in 2025.
4.A.1.3.Divestment of Heathrow
On November 28, 2023, through our subsidiary, Hubco Netherlands B.V. (“Hubco”), we entered into a share purchase
agreement (the “Heathrow SPA”) with InfraEuropa SCA represented by its managing general partner InfraEuropa
Management S.a r.l (entities and funds managed or controlled by Ardian France SA and its affiliates) (“Ardian”) and
Alrahala First Investment Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of The Public Investment Fund) (“PIF”, together with
Ardian, the “Buyers”) pursuant to which Hubco agreed to sell and the Buyers agreed to purchase Hubco’s full stake
26
(approximately 25% interest) in FGP Topco Limited, a direct shareholder of Heathrow Airports Holdings Limited , the
owner of the Heathrow airport in London, United Kingdom (the “Heathrow Transaction”).
The Heathrow Transaction was conditional upon, among other things, the full tag-along rights in favor of the other
Heathrow Airports Holdings shareholders, such that any shares decided to be sold by such shareholders in the exercise
of the aforementioned right should also be sold as part of the Heathrow Transaction. In January 2024, in accordance
with the tag-along process, some of the shareholders of FGP Topco Limited exercised their tag-along rights in respect
of shares representing 35% of the share capital of FGP Topco Limited (the “Tagging Shareholders”). As a result of
this exercise, Ardian and PIF made a revised offer to acquire shares representing 37.62% of the share capital of FGP
Topco Limited for GBP 3.3 billion, (including our share (19.75%) for GBP 1.7 billion). The offer was accepted by us
and certain of the Tagging Shareholders, and, as a result, an agreement was entered into on June 14, 2024 pursuant to
which we and certain Tagging Shareholders agreed to sell part of their shares in FGP Topco Limited such that we
would retain 5.25% of the issued share capital of FGP Topco Limited. Following the sale, we, together with the
Tagging Shareholders, hold shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of FGP Topco Limited. Ardian and
PIF hold shares representing c. 22.6% and c.15.0%, respectively, through separate vehicles.
The Heathrow Transaction closed on December 12, 2024 after having obtained all required regulatory approvals. As a
consequence of the Heathrow Transaction, Ferrovial recognized at 2024 year-end a profit of EUR 2,570 million, of
which EUR 2,023 million corresponds to our ordinary shares sold and EUR 547 million to the 5.25% stake retained,
which is reflected as a financial investment valued at fair value with changes recognized through profit and loss.
On February 26, 2025, we announced that a binding agreement had been reached with Ardian for the sale of our entire
remaining stake (5.25%) in FGP Topco Limited, the parent company of Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd., (“Heathrow
Airport Holdings” for approximately GBP 455 million (current book value of the asset), which will be adjusted with
an interest rate to be applied until closing.
The transaction was subject to complying with the right of first offer (ROFO) which may have been exercised by FGP
Topco Limited shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Articles of Association of the company.
Full completion of the acquisition under the agreement was also subject to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory
conditions.
On July 3, 2025, we completed the sale of our remaining 5.25% stake and no longer hold any interest in Heathrow
Airport Holdings. As a consequence of this, an additional amount of EUR 27 million was recognized, mainly
corresponding to the interest accrued since the announcement of the transaction. These amounts increased the fair
value of the 5.25% stake in Heathrow Airports Holdings.
4.A.2Significant Equity Investments
Throughout 2026, we plan to continue investing in current assets in our portfolio and analyze potential new
opportunities that may add value to our business.
Our key future investment commitments in the Airports Business Division include the NTO at JFK, for an expected
amount of USD 74 million (EUR 63 million at the year-end 2025 exchange rate) in 2026.
The main equity investments commitments in our Highways Business Division pertain to our standing equity
commitments in projects developed by Private InvIT.
In the Energy Business Division, the main equity investments commitments are related to our two solar photovoltaic
plants under construction in Texas (Leon and Milano).
Finally, commitments were made to invest up to EUR 199 million in projects primarily engaged in highways and
renewable energy assets pending of financial close.
For more information on our equity investments, see “Item 5. Operating and financial review and prospects —B.
Liquidity and capital resources —9. Future Material Investments and Anticipated Capital Expenditures”.
We may also see our equity investments commitments increase significantly if we are, for example, awarded any of
the procurement processes where we have been shortlisted in the U.S., namely the I‑285 East Express Lanes in
Georgia, the I‑24 Southeast Choice Lanes project in Tennessee or the I‑77 South Express Lanes in North Carolina. For
more information on our bidding activity in our Highways business division see “—B. Business Overview —2.
Strategy and objectives —3. Outlook and trend information”.

4.B.Business Overview
4.B.1Overview
We were founded as a construction group focusing on railway infrastructure and later expanded our business into other
activities including, among others, highways, airport management, and energy. We have been active internationally for
over 40 years and operate across seven core geographic markets comprising Spain, the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, Poland, Chile and India with over 22,609 employees. For further details on the geographic markets
where we are active, see “Item 5. Operating and financial review and prospects —A. Operating results —7. Segment
Reporting — 2.Geographical information” and Note 2.1 to the Audited Financial Statements (Revenue).
Over time, we have developed into one of the world’s leading infrastructure groups in terms of managed investment
with operations in a range of sectors including development, construction, and operation of highways and airports.
Since our inception, we have invested in diversifying our business and expanding internationally.
We believe that our experience and wealth of proprietary data related to urban congestion enables us to be competitive
in product offering and revenue optimization. This differential knowledge in the realm of urban congestion is
particularly advantageous in connection with managed lanes projects (i.e., the development of highways with dynamic
pricing schemes, where users pay variable rates depending on congestion levels at any given time, referred to in this
Annual Report as “Managed Lanes”). We currently undertake our activities through the following four operating
divisions, or lines of business, which also correspond to our reporting segments (the “Business Divisions”):
▪Highways;
▪Airports;
▪Construction; and
▪Energy.
We use the “other” category to reflect results for companies not assigned to any Business Division, the most
significant being Ferrovial SE, the Group’s parent company, as well as the business line Ferrovial Digital
Infrastructure (created in 2024 with the aim to identify investment opportunities to develop high-value projects in the
data center market), and the waste management plants in the United Kingdom.
4.B.2 Strategy and Objectives
Ferrovial is focused on developing and operating sustainable infrastructure that creates value for our shareholders and
other interested parties. Our integrated business model is present throughout the entire lifecycle of a project, from
conceptualization to design, financing, construction, and operation of critical infrastructure, such as highways and
airports.
Our strategy is built on four key pillars which we strive to achieve:
▪People: ensure the highest standards for health and safety in our operations and implement innovative
technologies to help prevent accidents for users and employees. We will continue working to attract, develop
and deploy high level talent for each position, and actively manage the engagement of our employees.
▪Sustainable growth: develop infrastructure projects with high concessional value in our core markets. Rotate
mature assets to realize value of investments and fund future opportunities, and enhance return to
shareholders.
▪Operational excellence: optimize cash generation while maintaining high levels of operating performance.
Improve efficiency, reinforce risk management, strengthen financial discipline and keep sustainability at the
core.
▪Innovation: support our core business, accelerate our digital transformation, foster an innovation and
cybersecurity culture and embed AI, as appropriate, within our processes.
Our integrated business model is based on four business units:
▪Highways has a unique infrastructure-asset base that focuses on developing congestion relief solutions,
particularly in the U.S. and Canada through dynamic pricing schemes (“Managed Lanes”). The business
expects to continue developing complex projects in U.S. as well as focusing on maintaining a pipeline of
future projects and pursuing selected projects in other countries such as India (i.e., through our investment in
IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd.).
28
▪Airport’s value proposition is based on facilitating air transport growth to improve people connectivity as air-
traffic increases. The business unit expects to focus on terminal-related opportunities in the U.S., airport
expansion projects in Europe and other growth opportunities where Ferrovial’s capabilities represent an
advantage.
▪Energy is focused on the development, financing, construction and operation of renewable energy generation,
storage and transmission infrastructures.
▪Construction supports other divisions on complex infrastructure projects with end-to-end technical,
engineering and production capabilities. The business unit has strong local bases in Texas, Spain & Poland
that support other geographies and manage risks from bidding and design to project delivery.
In 2024, Ferrovial created the Ferrovial Digital Infrastructure business line, that targets investments in the high-growth
data center market, building on our track record in construction projects for industry leaders in the last decade. We are
in the early stages of developing one data center campus in Warsaw, Poland, and one in Alcobendas, Spain. Ferrovial
Digital Infrastructure is reported in the “other” category to our reporting segments.
4.B.2.1.Strategic Plan by Business Line
Highways
Cintra, Ferrovial's highway division, strategically focuses its activity on developed markets with high demand for
infrastructure and primarily focused on the development of complex assets in the United States and the selective study

29
4.B.2.3.Key Milestones achieved during the period 2023-2025:
2023
▪In June 2023 we completed the Merger resulting in our re-domiciliation from Spain to The Netherlands and
gained admission to listing and trading of our ordinary shares in the Spanish Stock Exchanges and Euronext
Amsterdam, in order to strengthen our international profile and align our structure with the business growth
strategy.
▪In June 2023, our Highways’ Business Division increased its managed investment in the U.S. with the
opening of segment 3C of NTE35W, following our strategic plan of developing complex assets in the United
States.
▪In November 2023, we announced the planned divestment of our stake in the Heathrow airport.
2024
▪Our Energy Business Division was set up in January 2024, merging all energy business activities present
across the Group into a single organizational unit with unified direction.
▪In May 9, we started trading on Nasdaq, a key step in Ferrovial’s internationalization process and plans for
growth in North America.
▪We acquired a 24% stake in IRB Infrastructure Trust (“Private InvIT”) thereby reinforcing our presence in
India, one of Ferrovial’s core markets.
▪In July 2024, we completed the divestment of a 19.75% stake in Heathrow Airports Holdings, retaining a
5.25% stake.
2025
▪In January 2025, the sale of our entire stake in AGS closed.
▪In June 2025, we acquired an additional 5.06% stake in 407 ETR highway to a 48.3% stake, demonstrating
our enduring commitment in this high-quality asset.
▪In July 2025, we sold the remaining 5.25% stake in Heathrow Airports Holdings.
▪In December 2025, Ferrovial was included in the Nasdaq-100 Index, which we believe enhances our visibility
with U.S. and global investors, broadens our shareholder base, and reflects market confidence in our ability to
develop high-value projects.
4.B.2.4.Outlook and Trend Information
Highways
In 2026, we expect traffic to increase in most of our highway assets, although NTE could be impacted by the ongoing
construction works to expand the toll road, which started earlier than anticipated due to the positive performance of the
asset.
We expect our main highways infrastructure assets to continue to distribute dividends in line with their performance.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received EUR 880 million in dividends from our operating toll road
subsidiaries (of which EUR 452 million correspond to 407 ETR, EUR 33 million to I77, EUR 120 million to NTE,
EUR 89 million to I66, EUR 102 million to NTE 35W, EUR 59 million to LBJ, EUR 1 million to IRB, EUR 5 million
to Private InvIT and EUR 19 million to other highways), compared to EUR 895 million in the year ended December
31, 2024, a decrease of EUR 15 million as 2024 was affected by I-77 extraordinary dividend.
To further increase our revenues and profitability in the Highways Business Division, Cintra is expected to focus its
efforts on optimizing the Business Division’s revenues and costs under the terms permitted by concession contracts.
Cintra is also expected to continue working on exploring new pipeline opportunities to grow the business, focusing
primarily on complex greenfield projects.
Our expected project evolution by geography is as follows:
30
▪Canada: The 407 ETR toll road will continue to focus on optimization and cost control measures without
ceasing the development of its user value generation strategy. The toll road is expected to maintain its
investment in the Data Lab to improve its understanding of user behavior and personalize its value
propositions, as well as to enhance its customer management systems, potentially enabling it to offer
individualized attention through loyalty plans and specific offers.
Under the Schedule 22 of the 407 ETR concession agreement, we are subject to payments if traffic is lower
than the traffic thresholds established according to said concession agreement (see Schedule 22 mechanism
explanation in “Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business overview —3. Group Overview —2. Our
Business Divisions —1. Highways business —Canada —The 407 ETR”) 407 ETR will have to pay
potentially significant amounts calculated under Schedule 22 to the province and a potential first payment
due in early 2026. During 2025 we have accrued CAD 41 million expenses for this Schedule 22, payable in
2026.
▪United States: Throughout 2025, most highways have shown good traffic growth as well as growth in
average revenue per transaction. The soft cap toll rates will increase in 2026 based on last December CPI
(Consumer Price Index) compared to the previous year. During 2024, and thanks to the success of the North
Tarrant Express project, toll road expansion work started earlier than initially planned in the development
agreement that we have with the Texas Department of Transportation. Works are expected to continue
during 2026, and to be completed in early 2027. These works are affecting the traffic level, but thanks to
efforts to optimize construction management, the impact during 2025 was less than expected, and a similar
evolution is expected during 2026.
▪India: IRB, which currently manages 27 projects (plus a letter of award for a new project), and Private InvIT,
which manages 13 projects, are expected to reach significant milestones within their pipeline of projects
under development during 2026.
▪Australia: We expect that Cintra will continue to manage the Toowoomba toll road and the Western Roads
Upgrade (“OSARs”) project.
▪Other markets: We expect that Cintra will continue to manage the assets already in operation, including the
D4R7 toll road in Slovakia and Silvertown Tunnel in the United Kingdom (fully opened in April 2025). It is
also expected to start the execution of the construction of Anillo Vial Periferico, in Peru.
We also plan to continue our bidding activity in our target regions (North America, Europe, Australia, Colombia and
Peru), focusing on complex greenfield projects, due to their high potential for value creation. Specifically in the U.S.,
we have been shortlisted for the I‑285 East Express Lanes in Georgia, the I‑24 Southeast Choice Lanes project in
Tennessee, with bid submissions expected between the second and third quarter of 2026, or the I‑77 South Express
Lanes project in North Carolina, with bid submission expected in the first half of 2027. Additional initiatives, include
potential participation in upcoming procurement processes in the U.S. such as the I‑285 West Express Lanes project.
We also expect to continue pursuing toll-road technology innovation initiatives.
Airports
In 2025, Dalaman airport showed a decline in number of passengers, with 5.6 million passengers in 2025, a (1.1)%
decrease compared to the same period in the previous year and an increased revenue (3.6%) from a positive
performance of non-aeronautical revenues.
In 2025, Construction at NTO at JFK continued to progress. This is an important year for NTO construction progress
and the kickoff of Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) activities. As the year drew to a close, physical
construction progress stood at 82%; vertical circulation elements have all been installed, critical systems like the
baggage handling system have been installed and have been undergoing tests for some time, and user fit-out of lounge
spaces, offices spaces, and concessions spaces are all well underway. The focus now is on finalizing physical
construction and power and IT systems such that ORAT is completed at the earliest possible date.
NTO has advanced in the negotiations with airlines, with 25 agreements (16 executed contracts and 9 letters of
intention). Additionally, advanced discussions are currently ongoing with several leading international carriers.
31
Beyond construction and airlines agreements, 2025 was also a key year for NTO project financing, with the successful
issuance of the Series 2025 Green Bonds. Following the largest-ever municipal bond financing for an airport project in
2024, the $1.367 billion Series 2025 Green Bonds will be used to finance the remainder of the costs related to NTO’s
Phase A. In connection with the bond issuance, NTO completed the refinancing of Phase A bank debt which is a
significant milestone for the project. The total weighted average of Phase A financing, c. USD 6 billion, carries an all-
in interest cost of c.5%.
We plan to grow our airport investment portfolio globally, seeking new opportunities with a specific focus on North
America, Europe and other countries where Ferrovial’s capabilities represent an advantage. We expect to prioritize
investment opportunities in high-growth leisure and business markets and in particular airports in which our unique
capital expenditure expertise and stakeholder relationships can add value in light of the market’s growth potential. As
part of our plan to grow our airport investment portfolio, we intend to consider participation in select open-bid
opportunities while prioritizing bilaterally negotiated projects in which our partnership approach may provide
origination advantages.
Our expected evolution by project is the following:
▪NTO at JFK: During 2025, the development progressed and construction progress reached 82% at the end of
the year. NTO has been informed by the contractor that the completion of the first phase of construction will
be delayed from the originally scheduled opening date of June 2026. The contractor has communicated that
it is currently targeting the completion date for the first phase of construction to occur during Fall 2026.
Ferrovial continues to monitor the process and timeline to complete the first phase of construction. There are
two expected subsequent construction phases (Phase B1 and Phase B2, together “Phase B”) to accommodate
the terminal to traffic evolution. The timing of the execution of Phase B under the NTO Lease is subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions timing for the fulfillment of which is uncertain. This uncertainty,
together with the fact that the design continues to be progressed and budgeted, may result in the final cost to
execute Phase B differing from estimates.
▪Dalaman airport: We expect to continue to manage the airport with our partner YDA Group and continue
implementing improvement plans such as the projects for generation of renewable energy and improvement
of sustainability.
Our Airports Business Division projects distributed EUR 30 million in dividends in 2025 (EUR 8 million in 2024). In
2026 and beyond, total dividend payments will largely depend on traffic performance at Dalaman, as well as at NTO,
following the opening of the terminal, which is expected for 2026.
Construction
In 2025, the Construction Business Division had a net profit of EUR 241 million and reached a 4.6% Adjusted EBIT
Margin (Adjusted EBIT Margin is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by our revenues for the relevant period. See
reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to our Net profit/(loss) in “Item 5. Operating and financial review and prospects —A.
Operating results —8. Non-IFRS Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators: Operating Results”.
In 2026, stability in sales is anticipated after the favorable level of revenues in 2025, supported by an order book that
has once again reached record levels, with strong exposure to key markets and projects for the Group Companies, in
line with Ferrovial’s strategy. In 2026, the investment efforts in projects is expected to continue in the United States
and other geographies, given the strong pipeline of future projects in other Ferrovial divisions and third parties.
In terms of profitability, the average long-term target of 3.5% is expected to be met again, thanks to the risk
management measures implemented in recent years and the volume and quality of the backlog, which enables a
selective approach to tenders, focused on risk mitigation and long-term profitability.
The outlook for 2026, by market, is as follows:
▪United States and Canada: following the growth in recent years, revenues are expected to stabilize, supported
by a high number of awards obtained by Webber, LLC (“Webber”) in recent years, which include a number
of diverse sectors such as transportation infrastructure, water treatment plants, and renewable energy projects
in both Texas and the U.S. East Coast, as well as the faster execution of the Ontario Line, the Toronto Metro.
In the medium term, stable investment in transportation infrastructure in states and provinces is expected.
While the most recent surface transportation reauthorization is set to expire on September 30, 2026, renewal
legislation is expected. The Construction division will continue to support the bidding process for P3 projects
of the Group’s investment units, with a particular focus on highway and airport initiatives on the East Coast
of the United States.
32
▪Spain: A stable level of sales is anticipated, after the high growth in revenues in recent years. In the medium
term, it is estimated that the momentum in the tendering activity will continue, both for public and private
clients, where private initiatives in residential construction, industrial construction, logistics, technology and
data centers stand out, as well as the sustained public demand for railway, sanitary and water treatment
infrastructure projects.
▪Poland: revenues are expected to be in line with the previous year, and the selective tendering strategy,
focusing on profitability and diversification in sectors such as energy, renewables and the specialized
construction of technological and industrial projects, will be maintained. The public tender continues to offer
good prospects thanks to the national investment plans for roads and railways, supported by the high level of
funds allocated under the European Union's 2021-27 Multiannual Financial Framework.
▪Other international markets: The United Kingdom and Australia stand out, where a moderate drop in revenue
is expected, mainly due to lower production of relevant projects in Australia, such as the Sydney Metro,
which is scheduled for completion in 2026. This decline has not been offset by the progress of the three
contracts for the design and construction of the track infrastructure of the HS2 high-speed project in the
United Kingdom, the execution of which is expected to intensify from 2027, once the design phase is
completed.
Energy
We believe that the future of energy depends largely on two global trends: (i) electrification of transportation and
industrial processes, (ii) increasing power demand from digitalization, artificial intelligence and data centers.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, this Business Division’s results continued to grow, as shown by the 25.6%
increase in revenues, to EUR 339 million, from EUR 270 million in the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the field of renewable electricity generation and transmission, we expect to continue with the execution of
greenfield projects in our main markets and seek further acquisitions to accelerate our growth.
Other
The project outlook for the businesses reported as Other is the following:
▪Ferrovial Digital Infrastructure: The data centers sector is experiencing rapid growth driven by the continued
transition to the cloud, artificial intelligence, the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), and increasing
data sovereignty.
It is expected that the increasing data demand of consumers and businesses will continue to generate
consequent demand of digital infrastructure to cope with it.
The capabilities from Ferrovial building data centers for hyperscalers and collocators over the last decade
have positioned the company as an attractive delivery partner to develop the critical infrastructure required.
▪Waste Treatment: While we continue to maintain operational focus to increase plant utilization, maximize the
recovery of recycles and the generation of electricity, we are exploring opportunities to divest or exit this
legacy business in the UK, as it is not aligned with our core strategy.

4.B.3.2.1Highways Business Division
Overview
Our activities in the Highways Business Division include the development, financing, and operation of toll road
projects. We conduct our operations in this Business Division through Cintra, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries.
Cintra offers a strong proposition in the industry, with over 50 years of experience, a broad management model, and
in-depth knowledge of new technologies applied to pricing (such as advanced analytics) that aim to improve demand
forecasting and fare optimization. Cintra also offers synergies with our Construction Business Division subsidiary,
Ferrovial Construction, that result in high value creation potential. The partnership of Cintra and Ferrovial
Construction supports the success of complex greenfield projects since Cintra, as licensee, and Ferrovial Construction,
as construction affiliate, can align their risks and reduce the total cost of a project.
In 2025, our Highways Business Division received dividends of EUR 880 million from its main toll roads’ assets in
2025 thanks to increases in traffic and vehicle kilometers traveled in 407 ETR due to greater traffic and toll rates
increase in January 2025. All U.S. Managed Lanes showed similar improvement driven by strong performance and toll
rates increases. In 2024, our Highways Business Division received a slightly higher amount, EUR 895 million, as it
included the first dividend distribution from I-77 (EUR 205 million) and I-66 (EUR 89 million).
Value Creation
Cintra specializes in complex greenfield projects (new construction infrastructure projects) due to their high value
creation potential.
The infrastructure sector depends often on complex projects with high risk exposure. Generally, risk levels increase in
the beginning of a project, with their highest level at the tendering or bidding stage. After production starts, these risks
are either updated or they no longer apply and the level of risk decreases as the project progresses. Therefore, we have
a structured risk management process that focuses especially on the bidding stage of a project and which consists in
evaluating and assuming adequate levels of project risk that allow us to optimize the available rates of return (“IRR”)
and create value by decreasing the discount rates of future cash flows as project risks decrease, whether through traffic
revenues or financial solutions over the life of the concession.
34
From the equity’s point of view, construction risks generally diminish once construction projects are completed and
the project starts operations; although, the constructor remain liable for construction defects. For example, we opened
the I-66 toll road’s Managed Lanes in two phases in September and November 2022 as the segments became ready to
open to traffic. The opening of these sections helped to reduce the overall construction risks and therefore allowed us
to create value by decreasing the discount rate of future cash flows for the I-66 toll road project. In June 2023, segment
3C of NTE35W commenced operations.
We also seek value creation in the Highways Business Division through the sale of mature projects, the proceeds of
which are invested in new assets, where we believe there is a greater potential to generate value. Some examples of
this reinvestment strategy include the sale of our remaining 89.2% stake in the Azores highway to Horizon Equity
Partners and RiverRock for EUR 42.6 million in June 2023. On February 29, 2024, we entered into an agreement with
Inter Infrastructure Capital S.A., to sell the 49% of the Class A shares of Umbrella Roads BV (which confer voting
rights on its holder) and all the Class B shares of Umbrella Roads BV (which confer economic rights on its holder).
Umbrella Roads BV is currently the direct shareholder of Cintra OM&R 407 East Development Group Inc, Cintra 407
East Development Group Inc, Blackbird Maintenance 407 Cintra GP Inc and Blackbird Infrastructure 407 Cintra GP
Inc (the holding companies of the 407 Phase I and Phase II Projects), and the indirect shareholder of Serranopark S.A
(Serranopark Project in Spain), Sociedad Concesionario Autovía de la Plata S.A (A66 Project in Spain), Scot Roads
Partnership Project (M8 Project in the UK), Eurolink Motorway Operations Ltd and Eurolink Motorway Operations
(M3) Ltd (M4 and M3 Projects in Ireland), and has the economic rights over Sociedad Concesionaria Autovía de la
Plata S.A. (A66 Project in Spain). The sale of the Umbrella Road’s shares was completed on October 8, 2024 for
EUR 100 million.
As it pertains to the Managed Lanes’ projects, the main projects in the Toll Roads Business Division, value creation
arises from toll rates being dynamic, allowing for modifications every few minutes according to the degree of
congestion, always guaranteeing a minimum speed for drivers. With free-flow (barrier-free) toll systems, the Managed
Lanes stand out for their long concession terms, their toll rate flexibility, and their optimized long-term financial
structure. We believe these projects position Cintra as a leader in the private development of highly complex road
transport infrastructures. Examples of Managed Lanes include the NTE 1-2, LBJ, NTE 35W, I-77, and I-66 highway.
Investments / Main Assets
Cintra has consistently invested in growing and diversifying its portfolio, with a strong focus on the North American
markets. In June 2025 Cintra completed the acquisition of an additional 5.06% stake of 407 ETR. See Item 4.

As of December 31, 2025, Cintra’s concession portfolio consisted of 14 concessions, 2 toll collection operators and the
minority stakes in IRB and Private InvIT, 19.86% and 23.99% respectively, that have a portfolio of several toll road
concessions in India (see more information on IRB and Private InvIT in India within this section). Excluding IRB and
Private InvIT, Cintra comprises approximately 939 kilometers of motorway. Cintra’s portfolio of concessions is
diversified geographically, with interests in toll road concessions located in Canada, the United States, Australia,
Colombia, Spain, Slovakia, India, Peru and the United Kingdom.
Within the Highway Business Division, we carried out a series of acquisitions and divestments from 2023 to 2025, as
set forth under “—A. History and Development of the Company —1. Summary of Historical Investments and
Divestments” above. As of the date of this Annual Report, our main toll concession portfolio includes the following

Inception
We began our toll road activities in 1968 with the AP-8 Bilbao—Behobia toll road concession in Spain. Since then, we
have continued to develop and expand our highway business. On February 3, 1998, we incorporated Cintra
Concesiones, in which we hold a 100% stake, with the aim of consolidating and optimizing the infrastructure
development business. In 1999, we won the 407 ETR toll road concession award in Canada, which became one of
Cintra Concesiones’ first projects, together with the concession of two stretches of the Pan-American highway in
Chile. We continued to develop our infrastructure business through Cintra Concesiones, which had its initial public
offering in October 2004 following its entrance in the U.S. market through the establishment of its headquarters in
Austin, Texas. In 2009, we merged with Cintra Concesiones. Since 2015 we also manage concessions in Australia,
Colombia, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. In 2021 we gained access to the Indian market through IRB.
Customers and Types of Contracts
We operate our highway business through concession agreements. Concession agreements are contracts under which a
public sector entity reaches an understanding with a private company for such company to construct and operate
certain infrastructures for a period of time in consideration for the right to collect tolls (or to be paid either shadow
tolls by the grantor of the concession or availability payments if there is no demand risk). The private company returns
the infrastructure to the public sector entity at the end of the concession period.
36
Highway concessions projects are long term, capital-intensive projects that can typically be divided into two distinct
phases: the construction phase and the operation phase. The construction phase involves the design and construction of
the highway and typically spans between two to five years. This phase is characterized by large capital expenditures,
during which we usually do not receive revenues except for those projects that include toll road sections already in
operation.
The operation phase commences once the construction phase is completed. It involves operating and maintaining the
highway and tolling equipment associated with the concession, as well as collecting toll receipts and managing prices.
In some cases, the operation phase may commence while certain parts of the toll road are still under construction,
allowing us to collect tolls on the operational sections of the motorway, which reduces the risks inherent to these
projects and leads to value creation. The operation phase is generally characterized by increasing levels of revenue as
tolls are collected, lower levels of capital expenditure and incurring operating expenses and generally increasing cash
flows. Revenues from toll road concessions with demand risk depend on the toll rates charged. Toll rates are typically
set by the relevant governmental authority in the concession agreement. The rates that the concession can charge are
typically agreed as part of the concession agreement with the relevant governmental authority.
Toll rates in 407 ETR in Canada and in the I‑66 and I‑77 concessions in the United States may increase at levels that
exceed the rate of inflation. In the Managed Lanes operated in Dallas, Texas (NTE 1‑2, LBJ, and NTE 35W), annual
toll caps are updated each year based on the U.S. National CPI‑U, measured December‑over‑December. These
facilities operate under a “soft cap” regime, meaning that while tolls may be freely set below the cap, the cap may be
exceeded under specific contractually defined conditions intended to preserve minimum levels of service, such as
during periods of congestion or reduced speeds. Toll revenues also remain sensitive to traffic levels, which can be
affected by broader economic conditions, weather, and other external factors. In contrast, revenues from
availability‑payment concessions do not depend on demand and are predetermined in the concession contract,
typically with indexation to inflation.
Operating expenses during the operation phase are primarily driven by the length and age of the toll road, as well as of
factors such as traffic volumes and weather conditions. In this regard, this Business Division is affected by seasonality
in that there is lower traffic over the winter months, due to deteriorated visibility and driving conditions as a result of
winter storms and other adverse weather events (as compared to the summer and spring months, which have a lower
incidence of adverse weather events and a higher traffic volume).
Our financing expenses in highways depend primarily on interest rates. The infrastructure projects we invest on are
principally debt-financed, to the extent that long-term concession agreements generally provide a basis for non-
recourse long term debt under project finance plans, leading to high financing expenses. As the concession matures
once the construction phase has ended, a traffic growth pattern is expected, and its risk profile improves. This, in turn,
typically creates more opportunities to refinance projects and thereby reduce financing costs, subject to market
conditions and contractual regulations. This refinancing can create value by further decreasing project risk.
Cintra has a young portfolio of highways with the objective of maximizing its Adjusted EBITDA by generating strong
operating revenues possible while complying with contractual obligations. To this end, Cintra operates its highways
following a “premium operator” approach, which entails (i) using a hands-on approach with a common management
strategy, (ii) building know-how on lessons learned across the portfolio, and (iii) continuously looking for new
technologies and their potential benefits to the business.

A brief description of Cintra’s main concessions, by geographical area, is as follows:
Canada
The 407 ETR
We hold a 48.3% interest in the 407 ETR highway concession in Canada after acquiring an additional 5.06% stake,
raising its total ownership from 43.23% to 48.3% in June 2025. See more detail in relation to this transaction in “Item
4. Information on the Company —A. History of the Company —1.Summary of Historical Investment and Divestments.
—1. Acquisition of an additional 5.06% stake of 407 ETR”. 407 ETR, is the first all-electronic open access toll road in
the world whereby tolls are incurred while vehicles are in motion by means of vehicle identification at entry and exit
points either through transponders or video-based license plate imaging. By removing the need for toll barriers, this
toll collection system enables free flow of traffic along the highway, allowing high traffic volumes without long
queues. It covers 108 kilometers in an east-west direction, traversing Canada’s largest and most affluent urban center,
the Greater Toronto Area.
The 407 ETR has an innovative toll rates’ structure that allows us to raise prices freely without prior authorization
from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, but subject to penalties if traffic is not maintained above a certain
threshold. This system makes it possible for us to optimize revenues by adjusting toll fees to the time savings offered
to drivers by the toll highway. The asset’s revenue compound annual growth rate for the 2009 to 2025 period is 8.3%.
Certain 407 ETR annual traffic levels are measured against annual minimum traffic thresholds, which are prescribed
by Schedule 22 to the concession agreement and escalate annually up to a specified lane capacity. The concession
agreement also governs the terms of the financing, operating, managing, maintaining, rehabilitating and tolling the 407
ETR for a period of 99 years (ending in 2098).
United States
The Managed Lanes offer a solution to the problem of congestion in urban areas providing choices to users. Under the
Managed Lanes system, toll rates charged are dynamic and may be changed every few minutes to manage traffic
volume and ensure a minimum speed. Cintra has different projects under this model, including the NTE 1-2, LBJ,
NTE 35W, I-77, and I-66.
NTE 1-2
Cintra holds a 63.0% stake in the NTE concession, a 13.2 mile (21.4 kilometers approximately) highway located in the
Dallas Fort Worth area in north Texas. The NTE 1-2 is intended to improve mobility along a series of highways vital
to the region, including IH-820 and SH 121/183. We fully opened the project to the public in October 2014. The
concession agreement ends in 2061. During 2024, due to the success of the NTE project, additional toll road expansion
works and capacity improvements under the agreement with Texas Department of Transportation are planned to be
brought forward, with an expected completion in 2027.
LBJ
Cintra holds a 54.6% stake in the LBJ concession, which provides a solution to congestion problems on interstates
IH-35E and IH-635 in Dallas, Texas. This project increases capacity in the corridor with the creation of four to six new
express toll lanes.
38
LBJ is 13.3 miles (21.4 kilometers approximately) in length and located between IH-35E and US-75. The project was
the largest private-public partnership (“PPP”) in the United States at the time and is, to date, the largest PPP in the
Southwest of the United States. The project features a combination of four general purpose lanes and two to three
continuous frontage roads in each direction, along with 13.3 miles (21.4 kilometers approximately) of two-to-three
managed lanes in each direction that use dynamic pricing to keep traffic moving above 50 miles per hour (80
kilometers per hour). The Managed Lanes feature about 5 miles (8.1 kilometers approximately) of depressed roadway.
A lump sum, fixed-price contract entered into as a joint venture with LBJ Mobility Partner governs the reconstruction
and has a design-build period of 60 months. It is divided into three sections: (i) the I-35 section from Loop 12/IH35 to
Crown Road, with a length of 3.6 miles (5.8 kilometers approximately), (ii) the LBJ/I-35E interchange, located on the
I635 corridor between I35E and Dallas North Tollway, with a length of 5.0 miles (8.1 kilometers approximately), and
(iii) the LBJ Section, located on the I635 corridor between the Dallas North Tollway and the east of the US75 corridor,
with a length of 4.6 miles (7.5 kilometers approximately). We fully opened LBJ in September 2015. The concession
agreement ends in 2061.
NTE 35W
Cintra holds a 53.7% stake in the NTE 35W project concession, which serves to link downtown Fort Worth, Texas,
with the surrounding residential and business areas while also providing vital congestion relief by using Managed
Lanes to support this major transportation corridor.
The NTE 35W comprises three different segments: (i) segment 3A (6.2 miles (10.0 kilometers approximately) along
the I-35W corridor through downtown Fort Worth, including the total reconstruction of the I-35W link between
downtown Fort Worth and SH-820), (ii) segment 3B (4.0 miles or 6.4 kilometers approximately, financed, designed,
and built by the Texas Department of Transportation; operated and maintained by the consortium in charge of NTE
35W and led by Cintra), fully opened to traffic in July 2018, with a total investment of over USD 1.4 billion, and (iii)
segment 3C, an amendment to the original concession agreement awarded in August 2019 that comprises 6.7 miles or
10.8 kilometers approximately, with an investment of roughly USD 0.9 billion and a concession term of nearly 50
years. Segment 3C started operating in June 2023. The concession agreement includes renovation of existing lanes,
which are expected to remain toll-free, and the construction of two managed lanes in each direction.
I-77
Cintra holds a 72.2% stake in the I-77 express lanes concession in North Carolina, which connect the metropolitan
area in the northern part of Charlotte with the residential area of Lake Norman over a distance of 26 miles (41.8
kilometers approximately). The express lanes are dedicated travel lanes that run adjacent to the existing general
purpose lanes. The express lanes are divided into three sections: two express lanes running on both directions on I-77
between Charlotte and Exit 28, and one express lane in either direction between Exit 28 and Exit 36.
The express lanes operate based on a dynamic toll system that facilitates demand management. A minimum speed of
45 miles per hour (approximately 72 kilometers per hour) is ensured. The highway’s 50-year concession term began
once we opened the road to traffic, in December 2019.
I-66
Cintra holds a 55.7% stake in the I-66 project concession, which comprises the construction of three toll free lanes and
two express lanes in each direction between Capital Beltway and Gainesville (Virginia). The project has committed
investments of at least USD 3.7 billion, including (i) USD 2.3 billion in project construction, (ii) USD 579 million in
upfront concession fees to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the funding of additional improvement projects in the
corridor, (iii) USD 800 million to expand transit services in the corridor, and (iv) USD 350 million for other
improvement projects over the course of the 50-year concession period. The 50-year concession began at closing of
the commercial agreement in 2016. The highway opened to traffic in two stages in September and November 2022.
India
IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited (“IRB”)
IRB, in which we hold a 19.86% interest, manages 27 different toll road projects (plus a letter of award for a new
project) over a total distance of more than 16,900 lane kilometers and includes the Mumbai-Pune toll road. IRB’s
assets represent around 16% of the “Golden Quadrilateral,” the road network that connects India’s main economic
development hubs. IRB has its own construction division that works exclusively for IRB’s own concessions, which
39
allows for similar synergies and complimentary capabilities as those derived by the relationship between Cintra and
Ferrovial Construction, discussed in relevant part of this section.
Private InvIT
Cintra holds a 23.99% stake in Private InvIT, a subsidiary of IRB.
Private InvIT holds a portfolio of 13 toll road concessions in India (12 concessions in operation and 1 under
construction). Private InvIT operates in 12 Indian states over a total distance of more than 7,700 lane kilometers. The
future growth of Private InvIT will be assessed by us and our partners on a project-by-project basis and is expected to
be mostly funded by assets distributions.
In November 2025, Private InvIT unlocked capital of approximately EUR 50 million (Rs. 4,900 crores) through the
sale and transfer of its 100% stake in Hapur Moradabad Tollway Limited, Kaithal Tollway Limited and Kishangarh
Gulabpura Tollway Limited to the IRB InvIT Fund, an entity in which IRB holds a 16% stake (not controlling and
neither having significant influence on this entity).
4.B.3.2.2Airports Business Division
Overview
Our activities in the Airports Business Division include the development, financing, and investing of airports.
Ferrovial Airports integrates all the Group’s airport management activities.
The origins of the Airports Business Division date back to 1998, but it was only in 2006, with the acquisition of
Heathrow Airports Holdings, that it gained its current relevance within our operations.
Investments / Main Assets
On January 28, 2025, we completed the sale of our entire stake in AGS. For further details on this potential
divestment, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and development of the Company—1. Summary of
Historical Investments and Divestments-- 2.Divestment of AGS Airports”.
Full completion of the divestment of Heathrow Airports Holdings was finally achieved on July 3, 2025. For further
details see “Item 4. Information on the Company —A. History and Development of the Company —1. Summary of
Historical Investments and Divestments —3. Divestment of Heathrow.”
Customers and Types of Contracts
The main customers in connection with the operations of the Airports Business Division are airlines and passengers
who use the facilities operated by the airports we invest in. The airports are managed through concession agreements
and applicable regulatory regimes, with some airports’ revenues (i.e., Dalaman) being regulated by a local regulatory
authority and other airports’ revenues (i.e., NTO) not being regulated, meaning that the fees charged to users are
established by the airport.
Activities
The Airports generate two primary types of income: (i) aeronautical income and (ii) non-aeronautical income.
Aeronautical income is generated from airport fees and traffic charges, which in turn are principally levied on the basis
of passenger numbers, maximum total aircraft weight, aircraft noise and emission characteristics, and the length of
time during which an aircraft is parked at the airport. In this regard, the division’s revenues are affected by seasonality
of Dalaman Airport, since there is higher passenger traffic (the total number of incoming and outgoing passengers at
the airport in a particular period) over the spring and summer months.
Non-aeronautical income is generated mainly from retail concession fees, car parking income, advertising revenue,
and other services supplied by the airport’s operators, such as the rental of aircraft hangars, cargo storage facilities,
maintenance facilities, and the provision of facilities such as baggage handling and passenger check-in. This income is
also affected by seasonality, since items such as car parking income, baggage handling, and passenger check-in
depend on passenger volume.
40
The Airports Business Division’s assets are divided into economically regulated and economically non-regulated
assets. For example, passenger fees at Dalaman are set by the governing concession contract.
A brief description of Ferrovial Airports’ main assets is as follows:
NTO at JFK
In 2022, we entered a consortium for the development of NTO at JFK airport and as a result hold a 49.0% indirect
interest in the project. On June 10, 2022, the consortium signed the lease agreement with the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey (the NTO Lease) for the construction and later operation of the terminal, which ends in 2060.
After construction, the terminal is expected to come into operation in 2026. The revenue streams from the terminal
under the NTO Lease agreement are the passenger fees charged to the airlines, as well as commercial revenues. This
investment is in line with our strategy, as (i) JFK is “the largest” international U.S. gateway for aviation by a
significant margin as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation in its U.S. International Air Passenger and
Freight Statistics report for December 2024, released on April 2025. (ii) JFK is a durable and strong internationally air
traffic market that can successfully weather changes in international traffic trends and demand, (iii) the project will
increase the airport’s capacity to host large aircrafts and (iv) the air charges are unregulated.
The NTO project will be completed in phases to match traffic demand. The initial phase of development (Phase A),
related to the initial round of financing, will replace the operations of the Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
Terminals 2 and 3 have already been demolished and Terminal 1 will be demolished as part of the subsequent phases
of the NTO project once Phase A opens to traffic. Work on Phase A began in June 2022. NTO has been informed by
the contractor that the completion of this first phase of construction will be delayed from the originally scheduled
opening date of June 2026. The contractor has communicated that it is currently targeting the completion date for the
first phase of construction to occur during Fall 2026. Ferrovial continues to monitor the process and timeline to
complete the first phase of construction. Our Construction Business Division also participates in this project through
Ferrovial Construction, which acts as the lead on the technical area of the project management office (PMO).
As of the date of publication of this Annual Report, we had agreements with 25 airlines, of which 16 were executed
airline agreements including with Air France, LOT, Etihad, KLM, Korean and Turkish, among others. Six of these
airline agreements were executed during 2025, including the agreement with Turkish Airlines. In addition, as of the
date of publication of this Annual Report, NTO had entered into 9 letters of intent with other international carriers and
we continued to be engaged in active negotiations with numerous additional international airlines.
For additional information, see Note 3.5.2 (Disclosures relating to JFK NTO LLC) to the Audited Financial
Statements.
Dalaman Airport
In February 2022, we reached an agreement to acquire a 60.0% interest in the company that manages the concession
for the Dalaman airport in Turkey. We completed the acquisition in July 2022 for EUR 144 million. The concession
started in 2014 and it terminates in 2042. Passenger charges are set and collected in euros, so most of the airport’s
revenues are in that currency.
The airport, which is located on the Turkish Riviera, a vacation destination for both domestic and international
passengers, had 5.6 million passengers in 2025, compared to 5.6 million passengers in 2024, representing a (1.1)%
decrease.
As a consequence of the conflict in Ukraine, there was a decline in Russian and Ukrainian passengers in 2022 that
continues, although the impact is limited and partly offset by increased traffic from other European destinations,
especially the United Kingdom.
Dalaman distributed EUR 7 million dividends at FER’s share in the year 2025.
In 2024, Dalaman was awarded Level 3 of the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program of Airports Council
International Europe (ACI Europe) Carbon Emissions Certificate, which recognizes its efforts to manage and reduce
its CO2 emissions. Additionally, in the same year, the airport completed the installation of a solar power plant on its
terminal roof. With its 10,230 MWh production it supplies 55% of the terminal energy needs. It covers an area of
45,000 square meters and consists of 15,000 panels.
Following the completion of this first phase in 2024, the airport is already advancing into the second phase of the
project. The expanded installation will add 10,500 solar panels to the facility’s roof, with an expected annual
generation of 9,044 MWh. Installation is currently underway and is expected to be fully operational during 2026.
41
This project enhances the asset’s resilience by reducing its dependency on the grid, contributes to lowering its carbon
footprint (Scope 2 emissions), and delivers significant savings in energy costs.
Other Operations
We operate in the airport facility maintenance and management sector through our 49.0% stake in the Qatari company
FMM, responsible for the maintenance and management of the Doha airport in Qatar.
4.B.3.2.3Construction Business Division
Overview
We conduct our construction activities through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Ferrovial Construcción S.A (head entity
of the Spanish Construction Business Division and with presence in other geographies), Ferrovial Construction
International B.V. (head entity of certain international Construction Business Division, excluding the U.S. and Spain
construction business) and Ferrovial Construction US Holding Corp (head entity of the U.S, Construction Business
Division), as well as through other companies within the Construction Business Division. With extensive experience
in the industry, Ferrovial Construction is a leading construction company in terms of revenue. Ferrovial Construction
is involved in all areas of civil engineering, residential building, and non-residential building internationally. The
company is also involved in water treatment plant engineering and construction through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Cadagua, recognized internationally for its water treatment facilities. Our Construction Business Division is also
involved in energy transition projects, maintaining our commitment to the development of sustainable, innovative, and
efficient solutions.
We have established a strong presence in numerous international markets and function through local subsidiaries,
including Budimex in Poland and Webber and Ferrovial Construction in the U.S.. We also primarily function through
subsidiaries other in markets such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Chile, and Australia.
The Construction Business Division’s operations are affected by seasonality due to an increase in activity over the
spring and summer months due to improved weather conditions (as compared to the winter). For further details on the
effect of seasonality on the Construction Business Division’s results, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects—A. Operating Results—2. Material Factors Affecting Results of Operations—5. Seasonality.”
The principal products we use in our Construction Business Division include concrete, steel reinforcing bars, and
asphalt. The fabrication of these products is subject to raw material (such as cement, aggregates, and crude oil)
availability and pricing fluctuations, which we monitor on a regular basis. We purchase most of these raw materials,
necessary to operate our business, from numerous sources. The availability and cost of these raw materials may vary
significantly from year to year due to various factors, including the logistics market, customer demand, producer
capacity, inflation, market conditions, and specific material shortages.

42
Inception
We have developed and expanded our Construction Business Division nationally and internationally since 1952,
mainly through the award of concession contracts in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and
Canada, and through strategic acquisitions such as Budimex in Poland and Webber in the U.S.
We have a great degree of expertise in large and complex international projects, mainly through construction works
carried out for the benefit of our Companies, but also through construction works carried out for the benefit of third
party clients.
Customers and Type of Contracts
Ferrovial Construction’s Order Book was EUR 17.4 billion as December 31, 2025, not including pre-awarded
contracts or contracts pending commercial or financial agreements for an approximate amount of EUR 2.5 billion.
Clients from the public sector accounted for 84% of the total Order Book, with our Companies representing 3% and
private customers representing 13%.
Within the EUR 2.5 billion was the Anillo Vial Periferico construction contract, for approximately EUR 750 million,
related to the Anillo Vial Periferico concession contract, in which we, through our subsidiary Cintra, hold a 35% stake
(for more information see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—2.
Significant equity investments”. The other contracts were entered by Budimex.
Ferrovial Construction’s Order Book was EUR 16.8 billion as of December 31, 2024 (not including pre-awarded
contracts or contracts pending commercial or financial agreements for an amount of EUR 2,7 billion). Clients from the
public sector accounted for 86% of the total Order Book, with our Companies representing 3% and private customers
representing 11%.
Generally, our Construction Business Division operates through hard bid and design-build agreements whereby we
assume obligations related to the design and construction of infrastructure. We generally enter into those agreements
by virtue of our successful participation in public and private procurements.
Activities
A brief description of the Construction Business Divisions’ main business lines is as follows:
Ferrovial Construction
Ferrovial Construction participates in all areas of construction, including civil works and building and industrial
works. Within the context of civil works, the Business Division’s largest segment, it designs and builds all types of
infrastructures, including roads, railways, hydraulic works, maritime works, hydroelectric works, and industrial
projects. Ferrovial Construction’s building activities also include the construction of non-residential buildings
(including airports, data centers, sports facilities, health centers, schools and cultural buildings, shopping and leisure
centers, museums, hotels, building refurbishment projects, offices, factories, and industrial warehouses) and residential
construction. Additionally, Ferrovial Construction, through Cadagua, provides engineering and construction services
of water treatment plants, mainly in sewage treatment, water purification, and waste management plants.
Budimex
Budimex, a company founded in 1968, has been listed on the Warsaw stock exchange since 1995. It is the leading
construction company in Poland in terms of revenue (based on the data from the “Polish Construction Companies
2024” report from Deloitte). Our stake in Budimex as of December 31, 2025 was 50.1%.
Budimex has been traditionally focused on the construction of civil works (such as roads, highways, railways, airports,
and bridges), industrial construction, residential buildings, and non-residential building, which aligns with the overall
operational split of the Construction Business Division. Over the last few years, Budimex has systematically
diversified its activities, both by seeking and acquiring projects other than roads and by participating in new activities
such as public-private partnerships and infrastructure and facilities management. Budimex is currently a key player in
the infrastructure market (road and rail) and general construction market in Poland. As a general contractor, the
company offers construction services in the following infrastructure sectors: roads, railways, airports, general
construction, energy, industrial and environmental construction. In recent years, the company has increased its
exposure to the prospective hydro and military markets. General construction within the Budimex Group has also
undergone a transformation demonstrated by the reduction of exposure to the real estate market. Instead, the company
43
has focused on specialized construction and areas of the market that can be characterized by capital inflows related to
local government investments and private investments by foreign companies. Budimex is also involved in facility
management, specifically real estate and infrastructure facility services, and waste management sectors through
FBSerwis. On November 7, 2024, Budimex informed of its decision to start the process of reviewing strategic options
in relation to FBSerwis, analyzing scenarios covering, among others search for a significant investor or investors for
FBSerwis (both minority and majority), concluding a strategic alliance with another entity, introducing the selected
company to the Warsaw Stock Exchange (IPO). Moreover, Budimex plans to analyze the possibility of FBSerwis
group activity diversification. The above list of scenarios is not exhaustive and other scenarios not listed above can be
also considered if they appear as a result of the review. On January 28, 2026, the Management Board of Budimex
resolved to amend the timeline of the ongoing review process. The completion of the assessment of strategic options
originally expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, has been tentatively rescheduled to April 30, 2026.
The company’s strategic plans include expansion of its construction activities into neighboring countries, taking a
decision regarding the new strategy for FB Serwis, as explained above, and participation in Poland’s energy
transformation (investments in renewable energy generation assets through the joint venture BXF Energia).
Webber
Webber specializes in the construction of infrastructure works, such as roads, highways, bridges, and airport runways.
In 2018, it became the leading transport infrastructure company in the State of Texas, United States, according to
Engineering News Record (“ENR”) magazine. In 2016, Webber acquired Pepper Lawson Construction, a specialized
company in water infrastructure, enhancing the capabilities and resources of Webber in this segment. It also provides
operations and maintenance solutions for critical infrastructure assets. Webber is one of the leading transportation-
focused contractors in Texas (based on the 2022 data from ENR Texas & Louisiana report), and in the last few years,
it has expanded operations into other U.S. states, including Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida.
4.B.3.2.4Energy Business Division
The Energy Division is primarily focused on providing innovative solutions for the development, financing,
construction, and operation of renewable energy generation, storage and transmission infrastructures.
The Division is present mainly in the United States, Spain, Poland, Chile and Australia.
Investments / Main Assets
The Energy Division has eight energy assets in portfolio: four renewable energy generation assets (two of them in
operation) and four transmission lines (three of them in operation).
In the United States, the Energy Division has two solar photovoltaic plants under construction in Texas (Leon and
Milano), with a combined generation capacity of 500 MW, and that are expected start operations in 2026 and in 2027
respectively.
In Spain, the Energy Division has a 50 MWdc photovoltaic plant in operation, located in Gerena (Seville), as well as a
pipeline of energy storage and generation projects in their early stages of development.
In Poland, the JV between Ferrovial Energía and Budimex, has a 60 MWdc solar photovoltaic plant that finalized
construction in 2025. This asset has already started to sell energy.
In Chile, the Energy Division has three transmission line assets in operation across the country (Transchile, Centella
and Tap Mauro). In January 2025, we were officially awarded with a group of works, which includes the rights for the
development, construction, and exploitation of a new transmission line (2x154kV Tinguiririca – Santa Cruz), that
should start commercial operation in 2030, and the construction of five expansion works for the grid.
Ferrovial Energy´s Order Book was EUR 899 million as December 31, 2025. Clients in countries outside of Spain
accounted for 55% of the Order Book’s accounts.
Customers and Type of Contracts
Within the Energy Business Division, our main customers and type of contracts vary depending on the market
dynamics of each business line of the Division and the specific underlying service or asset.
44
For our electricity generation and storage activity, we acquire or promote and develop our own energy assets. The
energy generated by our assets will be sold through a long term off-take agreement -for example a Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA) at an agreed price with an off-taker requiring large amounts of electricity-, or alternatively selling
the produced energy in the wholesale market in accordance with the applicable electric sector regulations.
Our transmission lines are freehold assets awarded by governmental authorities—for example, the Chilean Ministry of
Energy—following our successful participation in a competitive bidding process. These assets are not subject to
demand risk (i.e., financial risk that we will be unable to sell our services) since they are subject to availability
payment, a means to compensate private parties for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining a facility,
codified pursuant to Chile’s General Law of Electric Services and the Adjudication Decree (administrative act issued
by the Ministry of Chile). Although we enter into underlying agreements with the appropriate governmental
authorities, the direct recipients of the services provided by our transmission lines assets managed under our energy
infrastructure are electricity generation and distribution companies.
Our EPC activity operates through engineering, procurement and construction agreements whereby we assume
obligations to design, procure and construct renewable energy infrastructures. We generally enter into those
agreements by virtue of our successful participation in private procurements.
Our Energy Efficiency activity is rendered to private and public clients in Spain, the later throughout competitive
bidding processes governed by public procurement regulations.
Activities
Our activities include the development, finance, construction and operation of renewable generation, storage and
transmission line infrastructures, and the provision of energy efficiency solutions.
In a sector subject to constant change, we intend to use, together with our own resources, our participation in industrial
ecosystems to develop and invest in technologies that enable growth in profitable businesses. The Energy Business
Division’s activity focuses on selected geographies: the U.S., Spain, Chile and Australia.
The Energy Business Division is an active part of our ESG strategy, with the focus on the fight against climate change
and the decarbonization of the economy. For more information on our ESG actions, see “—12. Environment /
Sustainability / Health and safety.”
4.B.3.2.5Other
We use the “other” category to reflect results for companies not assigned to any Business Division, the most
significant being Ferrovial SE, the Group’s parent company, as well as the business line Ferrovial Digital
Infrastructure and the waste management plants in the United Kingdom.
Ferrovial Digital Infrastructure
In 2024, we created a business line, Ferrovial Digital Infrastructure, with the target of identifying investment
opportunities to develop high-value projects in the data center market. We are in the early stages of developing one
data center campus in Warsaw, Poland, and one in Alcobendas, Spain.
Services Businesses
In 2018, following completion of a strategic review process, we decided to classify the Services Business Division as
discontinued operations. We substantially concluded the divestment process in 2022.
On June 27, 2025, Ferrovial completed the divestment of the services business in Chile. The total cash received in
relation to this divestment reached EUR 24 million, and the transaction generated a capital loss of EUR 14 million. For
more information regarding this change in the scope of consolidation, see Note 1.1.5 (Consolidation scope changes
and other divestments of investees) to the Audited Financial Statements.
On June 28, 2024, we completed the sale of our 24.8% pending stake in Grupo Serveo to its majority shareholder,
Portobello Capital. In January 31, 2022 we sold the whole Infrastructure Services business in Spain to Portobello
Capital for EUR 175 million. After the closing of the sale, we acquired the 24.8% of the Grupo Serveo shares for EUR
17 million. This transaction culminates our divestment of the services business in Spain as part of our strategy to focus
on our core business—the development and operation of sustainable infrastructure.
45
We currently manage waste treatment (i.e., a production and consumption model that incentivizes the sharing, leasing,
reutilizing, repairing, renewing, and recycling of already-existing raw materials and products throughout their life
cycle) activities. During the year 2025 we had four municipal solid waste management centers in the United Kingdom,
located in Yorkshire, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, and Isle of Wight. Each of them is largely (Cambridge) or
exclusively (other three locations) associated with a concession contract with different local authorities. Together, they
have capacity to treat some 800,000 tons per year. During December 2025, we reached an agreement with the Isle of
Wight Council to exit that contract on 31 March 2026. Under this agreement, all guarantees issued linked to this
project have been released. Milton Keynes contract is ending in 2026.
Customers and Type of Contracts
The majority of our waste management activities in United Kingdom occur under concession contracts with different
local authorities, which regulate both the plants’ construction and subsequent operations. These concession contracts
are expected to expire between 2026 and 2043.
Activities
In the case of our waste management projects, the core activities are the treatment and disposal of waste together with
certain ancillary activities including the generation of energy.

—2. Material Factors Affecting Results of Operations—1. Inflationary pressures and energy and commodity prices.”
4.B.6Research and Development
In 2025, Ferrovial advanced its ReadIT 2027 strategy through a focused set of research and development initiatives
aimed at strengthening the company’s digital foundations, enhancing operational resilience, and supporting the
development of innovative digital capabilities aligned with Ferrovial’s long‑term competitiveness and sustainability
commitments. These efforts continued to evolve across three strategic pillars—Innovation Levers, Focus Areas, and
Fundamentals—each contributing to a more efficient, data‑driven and resilient operating model. The company also
progressed its long‑standing research collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), particularly
in predictive geotechnical modelling and advanced soil‑monitoring technologies, reinforcing Ferrovial’s capabilities in
climate‑resilient infrastructure design.
Under the Innovation Levers pillar, Ferrovial expanded its capacity to validate emerging technologies in realistic
operational environments. The company strengthened the capabilities of Ferrovial Lab, where multi‑sensor edge
architectures, real‑time data‑fusion engines, and cloud‑to‑edge connectivity models are tested to support
next‑generation Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and automation use cases.
Within the Focus Areas pillar, Ferrovial continued building an integrated digital ecosystem that supports automation,
analytical rigor and operational consistency.
The Fundamentals pillar focused on cybersecurity, regulatory compliance and sustainability‑aligned innovation.
4.B.7Intellectual Property
We implement intellectual property (“IP”) protection policies and procedures. The measures we take to protect our IP
include the registration of trademarks and Internet domain names to protect our interests, as appropriate. In addition,
we protect our IP assets through patents and utility models. We have more than 50 patents and utility models.
However, we believe that none of the referred patents and utility models are key or material elements in our Business
Divisions.
46
In order to protect our IP, our relevant policies and procedures on this field apply to all subsidiaries, which are
required, among others, to (i) proceed with an early registration of trademarks and Internet domain names whenever it
is expected that we enter a new industry or commence activities in a new country and (ii) properly define the relevant
products and services to ensure an adequate protection of our trademarks.
4.B.8Market and Competitive Environment
The markets and geographies where we operate are numerous and the competitive environment depends on the activity
and the countries in which we perform each activity. We have numerous competitors. The extent of our competition
varies depending on particular markets and geographic areas and is influenced by the type and scope of a particular
project.
A summary of our main competitors, differentiating between infrastructure and other contracts, is set out below.
4.B.8.1Concessions in infrastructure projects
For concessions in infrastructure projects, our main competitors are international developers and infrastructure funds.
Such funds typically raise money from different types of investors, such as pension funds or insurance companies
interested in investing in long term projects linked to inflation. In addition, we face competition from listed companies
vying for concessions projects and from big construction groups interested in investing in the equity of our concession
companies and building the projects for the concession company.
The main competitive factors in this industry include: (i) financing capacity in order to inject equity in projects and
being able to close financial agreements with banks or other financial institutions in order to finance the required
investments, (ii) technical skills to design better solutions to cover clients’ needs in terms of, for example, traffic
management and environmental impact, (iii) expected returns (hurdle rates) on projects, (iv) technical skill in
operating the infrastructure, including, for example, electronic tolling systems or infrastructure maintenance and (v)
the use of data analytics and artificial intelligence to produce self-improving pricing algorithms.
4.B.8.2Construction contracts
For construction contracts our main competitors are big or medium-sized construction companies; in some cases, these
are global players in terms of geography, but, mainly, they are local or regional players with different types of skills
and, in some cases, specialized by type of work.
The main competitive factors in the industry include: (i) availability of qualified, skilled, and/or licensed personnel,
(ii) reputation for quality and technical expertise as well as design capabilities, (iii) cost structure and the ability to
control project costs, (iv) price, (v) geographic diversity, (vi) experience in specialized markets, and (vii) financial
robustness in terms of solvency and liquidity.
We believe we are well-positioned to compete in our markets because of our reputation, our technical experience in
the design of feasible solutions for our clients, our cost effectiveness, our employee expertise, and our broad range of
services. Furthermore, we believe our size, technical capabilities, and geographic presence places us in a strong market
position.
4.B.9Regulatory Environment
We must comply with specific (and evolving) regulations in the sectors in which we carry out our activities and
operations. Additionally, in the countries where we operate, there are local, regional, national, and, in some cases,
supranational (EU) bodies that regulate our activities and establish applicable environmental and other regulations.
Regulatory regimes impact where and how we conduct our business, including environmental impact, property and
real estate permitting, labor relations, government contracting, privacy, supply and costs, taxes, and other factors
influencing our operational performance and financial results.
47
4.B.9.1Highways
United States
For our toll roads business, at a federal level, for example, (a) environmental obligations are imposed by the National
Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, (b) anti-corruption and anti-money laundering obligations and, (c) foreign investment regulations dictated by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). At a state or local level, by enabling state and local
laws and regulations, cover the statutory framework under which states have general or limited authority to procure
and to enter into a public private partnership (PPP) contracts with for the development of highway transportation
infrastructure projects.
United Kingdom
In UK, PPP projects are procured under various public contracts regulations. National Highways (formerly Highways
England) is the government-owned company responsible for operating, maintaining and improving England’s
motorways and major A-roads, the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Transport for London (TfL) is a local government
body responsible for most of the transport network in London, United Kingdom.
Canada
Various public sector statutes, directives, and policies applicable to PPPs apply to our highway projects in Canada.
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development may inspect workplaces, issue orders,
investigate accidents, and recommend prosecutions. Environmental Assessments conducted pursuant to the

Parks (MECP).
Australia
The Australian government has a centralized PPP authority associated to the Treasury Department, although it
cooperates with regional and local governments in the procurement of projects.
Spain
The Department of Roads of the Ministry of Transport is the responsible entity for projects related to the national
network of roads. The relevant Department of Transport of an autonomous community (comunidad autónoma) is the
responsible entity for projects related to the roads of an autonomous community.
Portugal
The Secretary of State for Infrastructure and the Secretary of State for Finances are the responsible entities for projects
related to highway in Portugal.
Following completion of the sale of our stake in the Euroscut Azores to infrastructure funds Horizon Equity Partners
and RiverRock on December 28, 2023, we no longer hold an interest in any toll road concessions in Portugal, although
we continue to render managerial services to the Norte Litoral, Via do Infante (Algarve) and Euroscut Azores
highways through the relevant services’ contracts.

such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (“OSHA”), enforced by the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration, (ii) other federal requirements regarding human health and environment enforced by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and (iii) other federal and state labor regulations, including regulations in
the fields of health and safety, employee wages and benefits, anti- discrimination and subcontracting. In addition to the
aforementioned OSHA, EPA, and labor regulations, most states also enact safety regulations, and there are further
regulations at the regional and local levels. Some states also require a variety of construction licenses in connection
with the carrying out of certain projects.
United Kingdom
The Health and Safety Executive (“HSE”), an agency with extensive enforcement powers, oversees compliance with
the HSWA. There are several licenses and consents that a contractor may be required to obtain to carry out
construction work. For example, work that involves asbestos requires a license from the HSE. In addition, the HSE
also receives pre-work commencement notifications in connection with certain construction projects as set forth in the
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
The Environment Agency is responsible for enforcing laws that protect the environment and issuing environmental
permits and exemptions.
49
Canada
Canadian environmental and health regulations and permitting apply to our projects at the both the federal and
provincial levels in Canada. and are prescribed by the particular provincial and /or municipal governmental agency in
charge of a project.
Australia
Many governmental subdivisions in Australia have statutory bodies which monitor compliance with their regulatory,
licensing and registration regimes. For projects with federal funding, additional accreditation by the Office of the
Federal Safety commissioner may be required.
Poland
The main public authorities/entities with regulatory and supervisory powers on construction activities in Poland are,
with respect to environmental matters, the General Directorate for Environmental Protection and, with respect to
construction generally, the Ministry of Infrastructure.
Spain
The permitting process is the main avenue of construction oversight in Spain. Local authorities are responsible for
granting construction works licensing.
Chile
The permitting process is the main avenue for construction oversight in Chile. Prior to work execution, construction
projects generally require a construction permit from the respective municipal works director. Some projects require
obtaining an environmental permit through the Chilean Environmental Assessment Service. Other specific permits
may be required, based on the project’s nature.
4.B.9.4Energy
United States
The relevant regulatory bodies that govern energy generation and energy storage infrastructure in the United States at
a federal level include: (i) the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC); (ii) the US Department of Energy; (iii)
the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, a department of the U.S. Department of Energy; (iv) the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); (v) the U.S. Department of the Interior; and (vi) the Federal Trade
Commission.
In addition to the federal regulatory bodies that govern energy generation and energy storage at a federal level, Texas
has the following regulatory bodies that also govern energy storage and energy storage infrastructure: (i) the Public
Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT); (ii) the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO); (iii) the South-central
Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource (SPEER); (iv) Texas Renewable Energy Industries Alliance (TREIA);
and (v) the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
Spain
The relevant regulatory authorities and other relevant actors with respect to the Spanish energy ecosystem are the
Ministry for Green Transition and Demographic Challenge (Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto
Demográfico), the National Commission for Markets and Competition (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la
Competencia), and Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U., as well those departments of each autonomous community and
municipalities in Spain bestowed with authority over electricity, urban planning and environmental matters. A draft
law for the re-establishment of the National Energy Commission is currently in process, subject to the final decision of
the Parliament, and is intended to grant the National Energy Commission with the regulatory powers already allocated
to the National Commission for Markets and Competition. Supranational bodies also perform overview roles such as
the European Commission (Directorate-General Energy) and European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy
Regulators (ACER).
50
Chile
Chile also highly regulates energy transmission. The main regulatory or supervisory authorities of the energy
ecosystem in Chile are the Ministry of Energy (Ministerio de Energía), the National Energy Commission (Comisión
Nacional de Energía), the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels (Superintendencia de Electricidad y
Combustibles), and the National Electrical Coordinator (Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional).
Poland
In Poland certain applicable regulations are established by the European Union, as well as the Polish laws established
largely to ensure compliance with the EU’s regulations.
The main regulatory and supervisory authorities in Poland are the Energy Regulatory Office (Urząd Regulacji
Energetyki) and the Ministry of Climate and Environment (Minister Klimatu i Środowiska). The role of the President
of the Energy Regulatory Office is the most crucial. Its responsibilities include, among others, issuing the licenses for
energy generation, transmission, distribution and trade, as well as monitoring compliance with energy laws and
regulations. On the other hand, the Ministry of Climate and Environment promulgates legal acts, such as, for example,
the Regulation of the Ministry of Climate and Environment dated on March 22, 2023 on detailed conditions for the
operation of the electric power system. Transnational entities also perform overview roles such as the European
Commission (Directorate-General Energy) and European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators
(ACER).
4.B.9.5Digital Infra business line
Spain and Poland
Neither Spain nor Poland currently maintain a dedicated regulatory framework governing data centers as a distinct
asset class or sector, nor are data centers subject to a specific administrative concession regime or public procurement
framework in these jurisdictions. However, data centers are subject to a broad range of cross‑sector state, regional, and
local laws and regulations, including environmental, urban planning, energy, and permitting requirements.
There is no single supervisory authority responsible for the oversight of data centers in either Spain or Poland. Instead,
regulatory and supervisory responsibilities are distributed among multiple governmental bodies at different
administrative levels, each exercising authority over specific aspects relevant to the development and operation of data
center assets.
At the European Union level, the regulatory framework applicable to data centers is evolving through a combination of
legislative initiatives, some of which have already been adopted and will require transposition into the national laws of
Member States, while others remain under development. Together, these measures aim to establish a more
comprehensive and harmonized set of requirements relating to energy efficiency, sustainability standards, and digital
sovereignty for data center operations across the EU.
4.B.9.6Waste management business line
United Kingdom
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Secretary of State, the Environment Agency, the Health
and Safety Executive, and local authorities are responsible for regulating waste activities locally, regionally, and
nationally. We also enter into waste management agreements with local authorities, which can oversee our operations
thereunder.
For additional discussion of the regulatory matters impacting our businesses see “Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results —2. Material Factors Affecting Results of Operations —7. Regulatory
matters” and “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors —4 Legal, Regulatory, and Government Contracting”.

4.B.10Insurance
Under our risk management policy, we maintain insurance policies that we believe are customary for our business and
our risk profile and which provide cover against various risks, such as third-party damage (aviation, environmental,
and civil liability, in general), construction defects, management’s and employees’ liability. Our insurance policies
also cover risks to our property, plant, and equipment, as well as claims that might arise against us for performing our
business activities. Additionally, we have a cyber-insurance policy that covers possible disruptive events and cyber
incidents that may occur in the context of our business activities.
Our risk management policy also includes the assessment of tools for risk transfer alternatives to insurance cover.
We believe that we are insured to a commercially reasonable standard and that we pay appropriate premiums for this
coverage. Our insurance coverage is regularly evaluated and adjusted as necessary. It could be the case, however, that
the Company or one of our Companies could suffer damages that are not covered by the existing insurance policies or
that exceed the coverage limits set in these policies. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—1. Business
Environment and Macroeconomic Factors—13. Natural or man-made disasters and health emergencies may disrupt
our business.”
4.B.11Property, Plants, and Equipment
Our property, plants, and equipment amounted to EUR 1,012 million as of December 31, 2025 and EUR 772 million
as of December 31, 2024. Our investment balance in property, plant, and equipment amounted to EUR 1,596 million
as of December 31, 2025 (EUR 1,377 million as of December 31, 2024), and consisted mainly of fixtures, fittings,
tooling and furniture (EUR 576 million), plants and machinery (EUR 741 million), and land and buildings (EUR 279
million).
Additions in property, plants, and equipment totaled EUR 426 million as of December 31, 2025 (EUR 318 million
as of December 31, 2024), the most significant relating to the Construction Business Division (EUR 179 million), and
the Energy Business Division (EUR 174 million), fundamentally due to the acquisition of Milano Solar, LLC project.
The development of solar plant in Poland also stands out among the main additions. Finally, within other business,
worth mentioning, among others acquisitions, the additions related to the purchase of two plots of land in Spain for
data center development.
Disposals due to sales or retirement amounted to EUR 76 million as of December 31, 2025 (EUR 77 million as of
December 31, 2024), of which approximately EUR 57 million related to construction, mainly plant, machinery and
other equipment.
Leases are not part of the plant and equipment line item. We primarily have lease agreements for buildings, vehicles,
plants, and machinery (although we also have lease agreements in place for land and office equipment, among other
categories), amounting to EUR 296 million as of December 31, 2025 (EUR 238 million as of December 31, 2024).
Our right-of-use assets consists mainly of buildings, specifically long-term office leases. Additions to the lease
category as of December 31, 2025 totaled EUR 190 million, of which EUR 166 million is associated with
Construction Division leases.

4.B.12.1Relevant environmental issues that may affect the issuer’s utilization of the tangible fixed assets
We may be subject to physical and transition risks in our activities as a consequence of climate change. For more
information, refer to “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—1. Business, Structure and Industry—8. We may face
increased risks due to climate change, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.”
To mitigate those risks, we identify, assess, and quantify both climate transition risks (i.e., scenarios recommended by
the International Energy Agency in its World Energy Outlook report, in particular its Stated Policies Scenario
(STEPS), Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), and the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE)), and physical
impacts linked to climate change (according to the scenarios included in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC)’s Fifth Assessment Report’s (AR5) Representative Concentration Pathways (RPCs) 4.5 and 8.5, the
intermediate and very-high GHG emissions scenarios).
52
We measure and update transition risks at least yearly, while we have a platform developed in-house (“Adaptare”) that
supports our physical risks assessments and integrates climate modeling and engineering of our infrastructures to
provide technical and economic efficiency measures to increase the resilience of the assets.
4.B.12.2Environment
The Company strives to minimize environmental footprint by using resources efficiently, lowering carbon emissions,
reducing water use, and limiting waste through operational efficiency.
Regarding the emissions reduction, we have committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), since 2017. In
2025, we revalidated our targets in accordance with SBTi framework, including the following emissions reduction
targets:
▪Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% in 2030 (base year 2020) in absolute terms.
▪Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 25% in 2030 (base year 2020) in absolute terms. Including purchased goods &
services, upstream transportation, waste generated in operations and fuel and energy categories.
Calculation of carbon emissions is based on GHG Protocol and involve 100% Ferrovial’s activities worldwide.
The Climate Strategy was submitted for advisory vote at the Annual General Meeting held in April 2025.
Focusing on operational efficiency, we search for innovative technological solutions to reduce energy consumptions
and emissions in partnership with Academia and technological institutions.
In 2025, the Company set the goal of being “Net Zero” by 2050 or earlier through the SBTi for direct emissions by
reducing emissions and voluntary compensation for those that are residual. Offsetting is done through neutralization
and mitigation beyond the value chain, relying on nature-based solutions.
We also incorporate the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures in our process
of identifying, analyzing, and managing risks and opportunities related to climate change.
Regarding biodiversity, we have a biodiversity policy which recognizes the key role played by biodiversity and natural
capital in the provision of services that support the economy and social well-being. We are also aligning our practices
to the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), a global initiative that seeks to address the
biodiversity loss and ecosystem deterioration crisis by the analysis of our biodiversity dependencies, impacts risks and
opportunities.
We have a water policy, which recognizes water as a limited and irreplaceable natural resource and its access as a
fundamental human right. In order to manage the resource efficiently in our activities, the focus of the policy is on the
availability, quality and impact of water on ecosystems.
In addition, our circular economy plan recognizes that the circular economy aims to keep the value of products,
materials, and resources in the economy for as long as possible, optimizing the consumption of materials and
minimizing waste generation, and is a solution to a problem that directly impacts the deterioration of the environment
and allows us to identify new business opportunities.
4.B.12.3Human rights and health and safety
We consider human rights to be a fundamental part of our global sustainability strategy. Our Human Rights Policy,
which is aligned with the main international human rights standards, (including the United Nations Guiding Principles
on Business and Human Rights and Regulations of the International Labor Organization), was renewed in 2025 and
we adopted a Belonging and Inclusion Policy
We reject any type of child or forced labor in any form, promote equal opportunities and non-discrimination, protect
against harassment of our workers, preserve the right to strike, freedom of association, and the right to collective
bargaining in all countries in which we operate, and promote the reconciliation of professional and family life.
Ferrovial has implemented a set of tools that promote the protection and respect of human rights in order to ensure
diligence in human rights in the company’s activities. As part of these mechanisms, we periodically evaluate potential
human rights risks as part of the enterprise risk management process. Similarly, we have a procedure for approving
capital allocation operations, so that the analysis of all corporate operations carried out takes into account whether they
may undermine our ethical principles, with special attention to human rights, social, good governance, and
environmental considerations.
53
Additionally, Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) is a fundamental value for Ferrovial and is supervised by the
Board of Directors at each of the meetings held during the year. The Health and Safety Policy, which was approved by
the Board in December 2025, establishes the principles and values that guide the behavior of employees and
collaborators. The HSW strategy determines the path to follow to help achieve operational excellence with special
emphasis on four pillars based on leadership, competency, resilience and engagement to improve Serious Injury and
Fatality (SIF) prevention.
4.B.13Disclosure Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Department Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights
Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, we conducted limited activities relating to operations at the Dalaman airport in
Turkey through YDA Havalimani Yatirim ve Isletme A.S. (“YDA Turkey”), our majority-owned Turkish subsidiary.
YDA Turkey operates the Dalaman airport terminals on behalf of the Turkish government and does not have any
authority to allow or deny entrance into Turkey of passengers or aircraft which, under Turkish law, would otherwise
be permitted or prohibited, as applicable, to operate in the country.
Pursuant to Turkish law, YDA Turkey collected aeronautical fees (including fees for passenger and aircraft-related
services) from Meraj Airlines, an airline based in Tehran. Meraj Airlines was designated as a Specially Designated
National in 2014 by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, pursuant to Executive Order
No. 13224.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the concession agreement, YDA Turkey
collected approximately EUR 50 thousand in aeronautical fees (including fees for passenger and aircraft-related
services) from Meraj Airlines. There were no net profits attributable to this activity after operational and concession
expenses applicable to Meraj Airlines’ operations.
Assuming no change in the applicable legal or regulatory framework and that Meraj Airlines continues to operate
international flights between Turkey and Iran, we do not anticipate any material changes to our activities involving
Meraj Airlines.
