VINCI estimates the payments to be made in 2026 in respect of retirement benefit obligations at €97 million, comprising €62 million of benefits to be paid to retired employees or beneficiaries (benefits not covered by plan assets), and €35 million of contributions to be paid to fund managing bodies.

Pension funds are also likely to pay €144 million of benefits to retired employees or their beneficiaries, without any impact on the Group’s cash position.
