Vinci sees 'sharp upturn' in revenue and earnings

摘要

French construction and concessions giant Vinci has released its financial results for the first half of 2021, showing a strong increase in revenue and earnings. Revenue for the whole company in the first half of 2021 totalled €22.6 billion (US$26.8 billion), up 22.3% on an actual basis relative to the first half of 2020. Compared with the first half of 2019, revenue was 4% higher on an actual basis.The upturn was particularly strong in France, where business levels in the previous year were badly affected by the first lockdown that began on 17 March 2020. Of Vinci's total revenue, 55% was generated inside France.The company's first half year revenue for 2021 of €22.6 billion (US$26.8 billion) also compares favourably to the first half year revenue for 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, when it was €21.7 billion (US$25.8 billion).
