MWN-AI** Analysis
Indra Group has outperformed its fiscal year 2025 guidance, showcasing robust revenue growth and bolstering investor confidence with its ambitious targets for 2026. With revenues of €5.457 billion—up 13% from 2024—and a backlog of €16.083 billion, the company's operational strength in defense and technology sectors is evident. Moreover, the execution of its 'Leading the Future' strategic plan has surpassed expectations, enabling a significant leap in financial guidance for 2026, estimated to be at least 17% higher than previously outlined.
From an investment perspective, Indra Group's performance reflects a strong foothold in critical sectors such as defense, air traffic management (ATM), and mobility. The notable year-on-year increases in EBITDA (17%) and EBIT (18%) further underscore efficient operational execution, with the EBIT margin climbing to 9.5%. These metrics suggest a company well-positioned for sustainable growth, benefiting from the ongoing defense modernization programs and technological developments.
The announcement of a €0.30 dividend per share—exceeding the previous year’s distribution by over 20%—is another positive indicator for investors, reflecting management's commitment to returning capital while investing in future growth. Given the net profit of €436 million, which marked a substantial 57% increase, alongside free cash flow of €364 million, Indra appears to be amplifying its capital efficiency.
Moving forward into 2026, the company’s target of revenues exceeding €7 billion, coupled with a solid free cash flow forecast, positions Indra as an attractive buy. Investors should monitor upcoming quarterly earnings releases, as continued strong performance could catalyze further stock price appreciation. Given its trajectory, Indra Group represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the growing defense and technology sectors.

Main features
The backlog in 2025 reached €16.083 billion, including €6.79 billion from the Special Modernization Programs (SMPs) and €1.429 billion from the consolidation of TESS Defence. Excluding these two effects, the backlog would have grown by 9% vs. 2024, driven by strong double?digit increases in ATM (over +23%), as well as solid growth in Minsait (+9%), Mobility (+6%) and Defence (+5%). The backlog?to?sales ratio for the last twelve months stood at 2.95x, compared with 1.50x a year earlier.
Revenues in 2025 rose by 13%, with all of the divisions displaying considerable growth: Defence 23%, ATM 23%, Mobility 10%, and Minsait 5%. Revenues also rose in all of the divisions in the fourth quarter of 2025: Defence 79%, Mobility 32%, Minsait 10%, and ATM 2%.
- Defence (+36%): Revenues reached €1.407 billion, driven by strong growth in Spain, AMEA and Europe, supported by Ground Vehicles (including TESS and the radars in Vietnam), the Special Modernization Programs, Eurofighter, Space (Galileo and Deimos) and Weapons and Ammunitions (Meteor).
- ATM (+12%): Air Traffic revenues totaled €523 million, with solid double?digit growth led by the Americas (radio contract in the U.S. and Canada iTEC) and Europe (UK radar contract)
- Mobility (+10%): Revenues amounted to €398 million, with notable progress in AMEA (Philippines tolls, Saudi railway), Europe (Ireland ticketing) and Spain (ticketing and ITS). Growth accelerated to 32% in the fourth quarter, boosted by a 69% increase in the Americas thanks to contracts for Lima Airport (Peru) and U.S. tolling.
- Minsait (+5%): Revenues reached €3.129 billion, with strong performance in civil?sector business lines, particularly Public Administrations & Healthcare (+12%), Financial Services (+4%) and Energy & Industry (+2%).
Organic revenues in 2025 (excluding the inorganic contribution of acquisitions and the exchange rate effect) rose by 9%, with solid growth in all of the divisions: Defence 17%, ATM 9%, Mobility 8%, and Minsait 6%.
The net order intake in 2025 increased by 139% (10% excluding the SMPs and TESS), with significant growth in all of the businesses, particularly Defence, mainly due to the Air and Space Defence Systems, Ground Vehicles, Ground Systems, FCAS project, Weapons and Ammunitions and Eurofighter project segments. The order intakes also increased in ATM, due to the contribution of the radio renewal contract in the United States, the air navigation radars in the United Kingdom, and the business in Spain, and Mobility, thanks to the railway maintenance contracts in Chile, the urban traffic management in Ireland and the toll project in Colombia. The book-to-bill order intake ratio with respect to sales stood at 2.34x vs. 1.11x in 2024.
The EBITDA Margin in 2025 stood at 11.7% vs. 11.3% in 2024, with 17% EBITDA growth in absolute terms. This improvement mainly reflects higher revenue increases across all divisions, particularly Defence and ATM. Excluding the impacts of TESS and the exceptional clean?up of an iNM project in Central Europe, the 2025 EBITDA Margin would have been 12.2%. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the EBITDA Margin reached 12.5% (or 14.3% excluding those impacts), and EBITDA grew 31% in absolute terms.
The Net Profit in 2025 stood at €436 M compared to €278 M in 2024, constituting 57% growth, mainly as a result of the operational improvement and the one-off impact on the financial results stemming from the increase in the valuation of the stake in TESS, among other factors.
The Free Cash Flow in 2025 stood at €364 M compared to €328 M in 2024. In the fourth quarter of the year, the cash generation stood at €307 M vs. €234 M in the same period of the previous year.
The Net Debt stood at €583 M in December 2025, set against the positive Net Cash position totaling €86 M in December 2024. The Net Debt/LTM EBITDA ratio (excluding the IFRS 16 impact) stood at 1.0x (affected by the payment of Hispasat+Hisdesat, which did not contribute to the EBITDA) in December 2025, set against the figure of 0.2x recorded in December 2024.
The 2025 goals were comfortably surpassed, with revenue in local currency at €5.53bn (+6% vs. >€5.2bn), EBIT at €517m (+6% vs. >€490m), and free cash flow excluding TESS and Hispasat+Hisdesat at €319m (+6% vs. >€300m).
