Ruud Joosten, CEO of Royal BAM Group:'In the first quarter of 2026 our revenue and adjusted EBITDA further increased, leading to a solid start to the year. Both divisions and Belgium contributed to the higher adjusted EBITDA. Construction UK's contribution continued to improve, supported by strong execution and a disciplined tendering approach.
We continue to make progress with our strategy 'Focus, Transform, and Expand'. In March, we further strengthened our market-leading position in Dutch residential property development by completing the acquisition of Gebroeders Blokland.
Our well-diversified order book is strong, supported by our disciplined approach to contract selection and risk management and by collaborating with preferred clients who share our sustainability ambitions. Earnings visibility continues to improve as an increasing number of clients, particularly in the energy and civil sectors, are opting for longer-term framework and partnership agreements.
We continue to see robust demand across our markets, underscoring the resilience of our portfolio despite ongoing uncertainty related to nitrogen regulations in the Netherlands and broader geopolitical developments. Looking ahead, we see strong market opportunities driven by the accelerating need for energy transition, investment in infrastructure and defence, and the growing demand for sustainable and affordable housing, areas in which we have demonstrated market-leading capabilities. This is also supported by government investments and initiatives in the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Ireland.
BAM reiterates its outlook for 2026 and expects to deliver further growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA.'
Business review first quarter 2026The Netherlands division delivered a higher adjusted EBITDA compared to the first quarter of 2025. Momentum remained solid, with an increase in homes sold and several strategically important project wins during the period. These included the construction of The Bridge at Utrecht Science Park, a circular laboratory and office building that reuses the existing structure and exemplifies biobased and sustainable construction. In addition, BAM secured a multi-year framework agreement with ProRail to manage and maintain 33 offices and operational locations, covering daily maintenance, fault response and asset management. Furthermore, BAM was awarded the high voltage station Veenoord-Boerdijk by Tennet. For the Ministry of Defence BAM will construct a new aircraft engine test facility at Eindhoven Air Base.
