Best-in-class European service provider for service quality, with record levels of traffic handled. 2025 results fully in line or above guidance, dividend per share increased for both 2025 and 2026
Rome, 23 March 2026 - The Board of Directors of ENAV S.p.A., chaired by Alessandra Bruni, today approved the 2025 Integrated Annual Report, which includes the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Draft Financial Statements and the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.
All targets set out in the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, presented on 1 April, have been achieved or exceeded.
In 2025, ENAV managed 2.4 million flights in Italian airspace, an all-time record that confirms Italy’s growth trend, with the best performance among the major European countries. En-route service units increased by 5.9% compared to 2024, outperforming Spain (+5.6%), the United Kingdom (+4.2%), Germany (+4.0%) and France (+3.6%). These positive results are also reflected in passenger traffic across the Italian airport system, which recorded approximately 230 million passengers in 2025 (+5% compared to 2024), with domestic traffic amounting to 72.6 million passengers, broadly stable versus 2024, and international traffic reaching 157.2 million passengers, up 7.6% compared to 2024.
Despite the new record in flights handled in 2025, the average delay per assisted flight stood at 0.010 minutes, significantly below the regulatory target of 0.14 minutes set by the European regulator and further improving on the 2024 result (0.066 minutes).
It is worth to highlight that , 2025 economic results, when compared to 2024, reflect the start of the new regulatory period 2025–2029 and the inclusion in the performance scheme of services related to the former third terminal charging zone (take-offs and landings at low-traffic airports) which, until 2024, were regulated under a national scheme based on a cost-recovery logic.
CEO Pasqualino Monti stated: “2025 closed with excellent economic and financial results, even above the upgraded guidance levels set last July for the year. In its core business, ENAV continues to rank amongst the European leaders for both air traffic volume growth and quality of servicey, an achievement that also enabled the recognition of the so-called capacity bonus provided for by the European Commission.
Activities in the non-regulated market continued to grow steadily in 2025, in line with expectations, supported by several contracts that are expected to generate value also in future years. ENAV confirms its position as a solid and resilient Group, with a strong focus on innovation, not only in the management of Italian airspace but also in the development of its activities in international markets.
All these elements, together with strong cash generation, have enabled us to enhance shareholder remuneration, with an upward revision proposed for the dividend per share for both 2025 and 2026”.
En-route traffic, expressed in service units, increased by 5.9% compared to 2024, confirming the strategic role of Italian routes both in terms of the country’s attractiveness as a final destination and as a transit corridor across Italian airspace. International traffic service units (arrivals from or departures to foreign airports) grew by 6.9%, while overflight traffic (aircraft crossing Italian airspace without landing) increased by 7.8%. Domestic air traffic (arrivals and departures at Italian airports) recorded a slight decline (-2.1%) compared to 2024.
Regarding international traffic flows, 2025 showed a broad-based increase compared to 2024, in terms of service units, across all connections between Italy and the various geographical areas worldwide. In particular, flights to the rest of Europe increased by 5% and accounted for approximately 77% of total international traffic service units, while flights to Asia, Africa and the Americas recorded increases in the range of 13% - 14%, representing market shares of around 7% - 8% of the total international component.
As for overflight traffic, in 2025 intra-European connections recorded a 10% increase in service units, accounting for approximately 55% of total overflight traffic. Meanwhile, Europe - Africa and Europe - Asia connections, representing approximately 22% and 13% respectively, grew by 7.5% and 3%. Traffic between Europe and the Americas recorded an increase of 6% for westbound connections (towards Europe) and 4% for eastbound connections (towards Asia).
Terminal traffic in 2025 increased by 3.4% in terms of service units compared to the corresponding period of 2024, mainly driven by the international component.
Charging Zone 1, which includes Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Venice Tessera and Bergamo Orio al Serio airports, recorded in 2025 an increase of 2.5% in service units and 2% in assisted flights. This performance was primarily supported by international air traffic (+5.1%), with growth at Rome Fiumicino (+4%), Milan Malpensa (+7%) and Milan Linate (+22%). Domestic traffic, on the other hand, showed a decline (-6.7%), with decreases at Milan Linate (-16%), Bergamo Orio al Serio (-10%), Rome Fiumicino (-5%) and Venice Tessera (-1%), partially offset by a positive trend at Milan Malpensa. Italy’s two main airports, Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa, recorded overall increases in traffic volumes of 2.2% and 6.8%, respectively, in terms of service units.
Charging Zone 2, which includes the remaining national airports, recorded in 2025 an increase in both service units (+4.4%) and assisted flights (+4.8%). Growth was driven by international air traffic (+8%), particularly supported by Naples (+9.4%), Turin (+6.9%), Palermo (+8.6%), Cagliari (+5.5%) and Lamezia Terme (+27.4%). Domestic traffic volumes remained broadly stable (-0.2%).
ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Operating revenues amounted to €1,173.1 million, an increase of €117.7 million compared to 2024, mainly driven by the higher volume of air traffic handled.
Total consolidated revenues amounted to €1,024.7 million, slightly down by 1.2% compared to 2024, due to the aforementioned effects related to the start of the new regulatory period and the inclusion in the performance scheme of services related to the former third terminal charging zone.
Revenues from the non-regulated market amounted to €52.1 million, up 5.8% compared to the previous year, mainly driven by progress on certain projects and the launch of new initiatives. The result achieved enabled the Group to meet the target set out in the Strategic Plan for 2025.
Total operating costs increased by 6.4% compared to 2024, amounting to €772 million. This trend reflects higher personnel costs (+6.8%) and other operating costs (+7.6%), offset by higher capitalization for internal work (+21.9%).
Personnel costs, amounting to €632.6 million, increased by €40.1 million compared to the previous year. This rise reflects both the fixed component of remuneration—incorporating the 2% increase in minimum contractual salaries and the inflation differentials for the 2023–2025 period, in addition to career progression under the national collective labour agreement—and the variable component of remuneration, following agreements signed with trade unions, linked to the higher volume of air traffic handled.
The increase in Group headcount, equal to +164 average FTEs and +91 actual employees compared to 2024, mainly reflects the recruitment of operational, technical and IT personnel. This increase had no impact on the Group’s fixed remuneration, due to the different salary levels between new hires and departures. The Group’s total workforce stood at 4,467 employees at year-end 2025, compared to 4,376 at the end of 2024.
Other operating costs increased by €12.3 million, mainly due to higher Eurocontrol contributions and increased personnel welfare expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower costs for the purchase of spare parts supporting air navigation systems, as a result of greater use of existing inventory compared to purchases made in 2025.
These results led to an EBITDA of €252.7 million, with an EBITDA margin of 24.7%.
EBIT amounted to €140.6 million.
The ENAV Group closed 2025 with a net profit of €93.1 million.
Net financial debt as at 31 December 2025 amounted to €137.4 million, showing a significant improvement compared to the figure as at 31 December 2024 (-€258.3 million). The reduction in net financial debt is mainly attributable to the positive dynamics of cash inflows and outflows related to ordinary operations, including investments (free cash flow). This performance benefited, among other factors, from higher core business cash inflows of the Parent Company compared to 2024, as well as receipts from projects funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) by subsidiaries, amounting to €11.8 million.
As at 31 December 2025, the Group had available unused committed and uncommitted short-term credit lines totaling €203 million. This is in addition to a remaining loan commitment of €80 million under the financing agreement signed by the Parent Company with the European Investment Bank (EIB) in October 2024, originally amounting to €160 million.
2025 Consolidated Sustainability Statement
For the second consecutive year, the Consolidated Sustainability Statement has been integrated into the Management Report and the broader Integrated Annual Report of the ENAV Group, in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024.
In 2025, ENAV approved the new 2025–2029 Sustainability Plan, with the objective of further strengthening the Company’s leadership in the sustainable development of air transport and laying the foundations for achieving new and additional targets in the coming years.
The Plan is structured around five pillars:
Among the most ambitious targets of the new Plan, ENAV aims to reduce emissions generated by managed air traffic by 5.7% by 2029 and, at the same time, to achieve a 92% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions compared to the 2019 baseline. In 2025, thanks to projects such as Free Route, AMAN and other initiatives aimed at route efficiency, ENAV enabled a reduction of approximately 331,700 tons of CO₂ generated by managed traffic. Overall, in the 2016–2025 period, ENAV’s initiatives have resulted in a reduction of more than 1.7 million tons of CO₂.
With regard to Group emissions, ENAV significantly reduced its carbon footprint, achieving an 86.4% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions compared to 2019, thereby maintaining its carbon neutrality status.
These initiatives have also recently received important international recognition. For the second consecutive year, ENAV has been included in CDP’s (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) prestigious “A List”, while Standard & Poor’s ESG rating has included ENAV— the only Italian air transport company— in S&P Global’s Sustainability Yearbook. These results confirm the ENAV Group’s leadership position in sustainability, an area in which the Company has always been at the forefront in supporting the long-term objectives of the aviation sector.
DIVIDEND PROPOSAL
The Board of Directors, based on the 2025 results and in particular on the better than expected performance of free cash flow compared to the forecasts of the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, has resolved to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting, scheduled for May 14, 2026, the distribution of a dividend of €156.7 million, corresponding to €0.29 per share, to be paid on June 24, 2026, with the ex-dividend date on June 22, 2026, and the record date on June 23, 2026.
The Board of Directors has also resolved to allocate part of the higher cash generation in 2025 to increase the dividend amount for 2026, recognizing €0.30 per share instead of €0.29 as originally provided for in the Strategic Plan.
