Major new contracts includes 25 years of maintenance services in Sheffield, construction of the East Extension of the 407 ETR in Canada and US Route 460 in Virginia, as well as work in Spain for the Padornelo and Del Espino high-speed rail tunnels.

EBITDA increased notably at the company's two main assets: by 10.1% at Heathrow airport and by 9.2% at Canadian toll road 407 ETR.

Ferrovial obtained €207m in dividends from toll roads and airports.
