Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The 3rd quarter performance reflects the solid momentum of the Group's core activities. Eurotunnel achieved record revenue, supported by the attractiveness of LeShuttle service and growth in High-Speed traffic. During the quarter, we successfully completed preparation for the new European Union Entry/Exit System (EES) border controls. The integration of digital and artificial intelligence in developing a smooth and efficient EES customer journey further enhances the attractiveness of our offering."

Quarter highlights
The Group's consolidated revenue for the third quarter grew by 1%, at constant exchange rate, to €472 million.
At €364 million, Eurotunnel's revenue was up 3% compared with the third quarter of 2024.
Shuttle Services
Revenue from Shuttle activity (LeShuttle and LeShuttle Freight) reached €242 million, up 4% in the third quarter compared with the same period last year.
Railway Network
Railway Network revenue was stable at €108 million, with the Group benefiting in Q3 2024 from a one-off increase in energy cost recharges.
Eurostar recorded excellent traffic growth, with a 7% increase in Q3, driven in particular by the reopening of the international terminal at Amsterdam Centraal station and the gradual increase in the number of rotations.
Europorte's revenue was up 5% to €42 million.
Over the quarter, Europorte grew across all its segments and benefited from the integration of recent acquisitions. The traction activity was driven particularly by the grain, cement and petrochemicals sectors.
In the third quarter, Eleclink's revenue amounted to €66 million, down 13%, impacted by the expected normalisation of electricity markets.
Interconnector maintained an availability rate of around 97% in the third quarter.
The Group continued to participate in auctions. At 30 September, Eleclink had secured nearly €217 million in revenue for 20254 (representing 97% of capacity). For 2026, €176 million in revenue (59% of capacity) has been secured, subject to effective delivery of the service.
