Vía Célere today announced its financial results for 2020, with the best figures in its history. The company has achieved a net profit of 49.7 million euros, which implies a growth of 121% compared to the 22.4 million euros in 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA stood at €93 million, up 135% compared to 2019.

In parallel, these results have been accompanied by firm financial discipline, which has enabled the company to reduce its adjusted net debt during 2020 by 277 million euros and to end the year with a cash position of 141 million euros. In addition, the company’s LTV ratio stood at 17% at the end of 2020.

According to José Ignacio Morales Plaza, CEO of Vía Célere, “we are very satisfied and proud of the results we obtained in 2020, which were the best in the history of Vía Célere. And they have double merit due to the particularly challenging circumstances in which they have been produced. Despite this context, our company has demonstrated the great resilience and solidity of our operational and financial structure. These results also serve to further consolidate our position as the leaders in our sector. In this regard, I would like to thank our customers and shareholders for the trust placed in us throughout 2020 and, of course, to highlight the performance and dedication of all our professionals in such difficult circumstances”.

Diversification of markets and a commitment to large urban centres.
