Getlink SE (Paris:GET):
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer, comments: “The 3rd quarter performance confirms the strength of Getlink’s business model and the complementary nature of its activities. Eurotunnel pursues its progress, driven by growth in the Shuttle services, which are gaining market share in both the passenger and truck activities. Eleclink continues to create value by capitalising on a favourable market environment, whilst Europorte benefits from the momentum of its infrastructure activities. Finally, recent developments in the cross-Channel high-speed rail market – notably Trenitalia’s order for new trains and the unveiling of Virgin’s project for a 2030 launch – reinforce our confidence in the Group’s medium-term growth potential.”
