Alan Brookes, CEO Arcadis, said: "Arcadis delivered solid results in the third quarter of 2025, supported by continued strong demand in our key markets North America and Europe. Leading positions in high-growth markets such as Energy, Water, Climate and Technology continued to drive performance. Large Mobility projects in North America secured last year saw further gradual ramp up over the quarter, supporting growth. In the UK we saw some improvement, with increased policy clarity and positive backlog development. However, we remain mindful of ongoing market uncertainties. Margins expanded year-on-year as a result of improved solutions mix from strategic initiatives, as well as earlier rightsizing actions, while we continued to invest strategically to support future growth and drive additional cost efficiencies. Looking ahead, we are focused on accelerating profitable growth, enhancing our operational efficiency, and driving robust cash generation."
