Half-year financial report, up to June 2025
Transdev, a leading independent private mobility group, has reported impressive results for the first half of 2025. The company's revenue saw a significant increase of 5.4%, reaching an impressive €5.24 billion.
With a workforce of over 105,000 employees, Transdev transports an average of 12.8 million passengers daily, demonstrating its crucial role in global mobility. The company's commitment to the ecological transition is evident, as it continues to make strides towards a more sustainable future.
In terms of financials, Transdev's EBITDA for 2025 rose by 2% to €308 million, while EBIT saw a more substantial increase of 61% to €93.6 million. The company's net financial debt also decreased compared to June 2024, standing at €1.25 billion.
One of the major highlights of Transdev's year was the successful completion of an inaugural bond issue of €800 million, which was significantly oversubscribed. The bond issue included a 3-year tranche of €300 million and a 7-year tranche of €500 million.
In terms of shareholding, the German-based Rethmann group has acquired an additional 32% stake, becoming a major shareholder alongside the public financial institution Caisse des Dépôts. This move signifies a shift towards more private capital involvement in the company.
Regarding recent significant commercial successes, Transdev has made notable strategic moves and operational expansions. In 2023, the company consolidated its position as one of the largest private sector operators of public transit on the North American continent with the acquisition of First Transit.
Transdev Nederland has also ordered 96 Solaris Urbino Electric buses, reinforcing its leadership in electric bus deployment. The company has received its 1,000th Yutong bus in the UK and operates zero-emission buses at Heathrow Airport as part of a 17-bus electric fleet.
Transdev launched a new electric bus service in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region with 18 electric articulated buses using reverse pantograph technology, supporting regional ecological transitions.
Leadership in technology and innovation has been emphasized with appointments such as James Aresta overseeing Transdev’s technology division, following the acquisition of First Transit and major contract renewals.
While explicit recent data such as revenue or profit figures are not detailed in the available sources, the firm’s continued expansion, large fleet orders, shareholder capital restructuring, and contract renewals imply positive commercial momentum and financial robustness.
In summary, Transdev's shift towards private equity, commercial successes, and financial results all point towards a company on the rise. With continued focus on sustainability, technology, and innovation, Transdev is poised for further growth in the future.
