1.5.2 Other cash flows

The net change in the operating working capital requirement and current provisions produced a cash inflow of €2,496 million in 2025 (€2,311 million in 2024). This further €1,820 million improvement in the working capital requirement was due in particular to policies adopted in all businesses – particularly Construction – to improve processes for the collection of customer payments. It also reflects a €675 million increase in current provisions.

Income taxes paid amounted to €3,005 million in 2025. The €785 million increase compared with the 2024 figure of €2,220 million resulted in particular from a €425 million payment in December 2025 relating to the exceptional contribution on corporate income tax for large companies in France.

Net interest paid amounted to €1,318 million in 2025 (€1,177 million in 2024).

Cash flow from operating activities was €11.9 billion, up €0.2 billion from the 2024 figure of €11.7 billion.

Operating investments, net of disposals, rose by almost 5% to €2,832 million from €2,708 million in 2024. This included €881 million invested by VINCI Construction (€921 million in 2024) and €1,232 million by Cobra IS (€1,220 million in 2024), of which €852 million related to renewable energy projects (€637 million in 2024).

After repayments of lease liabilities and the related financial expense in an amount of €871 million (€745 million in 2024), operating cash flow(1) was down slightly by 0.9% to almost €8.2 billion (€8.3 billion in 2024).

Growth investments in concessions and public-private partnerships totalled €1,173 million (€1,453 million in 2024). That figure includes €565 million invested by VINCI Autoroutes (€604 million in 2024) and €263 million by VINCI Airports (€445 million in 2024), reflecting in particular investments made by Mexican airport operator OMA and by Concessionária dos Aeroportos da Amazônia, along with €327 million of investments by Cobra IS, particularly in high-voltage transmission line PPPs in Brazil (€349 million in 2024).

Free cash flow(1) hit a new record of €7.0 billion (€6.8 billion in 2024) despite the exceptional contribution on corporate income tax for large companies in France that was paid in late 2025.(2) On a constant taxation basis, free cash flow would have amounted to €7.4 billion, up 9% compared with 2024. VINCI Autoroutes generated free cash flow of €2.6 billion, an increase of €0.1 billion compared with 2024 despite the increase in taxation.(2) VINCI Airports’ free cash flow hit an all-time high of €1.2 billion, up almost €200 million. VINCI Energies generated €1.6 billion of free cash flow in 2025, close to the record set in 2024. Free cash flow at Cobra IS was negative €365 million because of heavier investment in electricity generation using photovoltaic technology. VINCI Construction’s free cash flow reached a record €1.4 billion, almost double the level achieved in 2024. This exceptional performance reflects a particularly high level of cash inflows from customers at the end of the year.

Financial investments, net of disposals,(3) and other investment flows totalled €1.9 billion. The main transactions are set out in paragraph 1.1, “Highlights of the period”. By business line, those transactions represented a total amount (including the net financial debt of acquired companies) of €0.4 billion for Concessions, €0.4 billion for VINCI Energies, €0.7 billion for VINCI Construction and €0.3 billion for VINCI SA with the payment of the final balance of the Cobra IS earn-out to ACS.

In 2024, financial investments totalled €7.0 billion and related mainly to the 30-year extension of the Aerodom concession, the acquisitions of a 50.01% stake in Edinburgh airport and a 20% stake in Budapest airport at VINCI Airports, and the acquisition of Northwest Parkway in Denver by VINCI Highways.

  3. In 2025, shares in subsidiaries and affiliates were sold for almost €300 million (€120 million in 2024). The main transactions during the year concerned: Cobra IS (disposals of the interests owned in the Mantiqueira transmission line PPP in Brazil and the Morecambe offshore wind farm project in the United Kingdom), VINCI Concessions (disposals of several assets including almost all of its equity interests in Russia) and VINCI Energies (disposals of non-core businesses).
