Cdp Equity runs to the aid of Trevi Finanziaria Industriale. In fact, the board of directors has approved participation in the company's capital increase and will vote in favour at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on the recapitalisation of a total of EUR 100 million, and will subscribe its own share of EUR 21.3 million, corresponding to the stake held to date by Cdp Equity in the company (21.3%). "With this transaction, Cdp Equity confirms its willingness to support the company in strengthening its role as a global leader in the underground engineering sector and in the creation of special foundations for the construction and infrastructure sector," the note reads. The news, however, has not stemmed the sales on the stock market, where Trevi's shares closed the session yesterday with a 34% thud, after the release of the balance sheet data and the announcement of a financial manoeuvre that in addition to the capital increase also includes financing lines for a total amount indicatively between 150 and 200 million, functional to the performance of operational activities and participation in tenders for the acquisition of new contracts.

Results 2025

The Trevi Group closed 2025 with a net profit of Euro 8.633 million (+56.7%) against revenues down 5.9% to Euro 624.017 million, of which Euro 117.803 million were generated in Italia (corresponding to 19% of the total). The gross operating margin (Ebitda) stood at 81.81 million (+0.1%), recurring Ebitda at 85.51 million (+2.2%) and Ebit at 47.83 million (+8.2%). Net profit stood at EUR 8.6 million. The group's net financial position as at 31 December was EUR 187.4m, compared to EUR 198.9m as at 31 December 2024.

In 2025, orders of EUR 734.289m (+21.3%) were taken and, in the first two months of 2026, orders of a further EUR 157m were taken. For 2026, the company expects revenues of between EUR 640 million and EUR 670 million, recurring EBITDA of between EUR 70 million and EUR 80 million, and a net financial position of between EUR 90 million and EUR 100 million, post financial manoeuvre.

"The results for the 2025 financial year confirm and reinforce what has already emerged in recent years: the strategic choices undertaken by the group are producing concrete results consistent with the relaunch path launched in recent years," said CEO Giuseppe Caselli, emphasising that "for the fourth consecutive year, the Trevi Group has achieved the economic-financial targets set out in the current Industrial Plan, confirming the solidity of the path undertaken and the group's ability to execute the set strategies with discipline."

The 2026-2029 Business Plan

The board of directors also approved the 2026-2029 business plan, which envisages growth in group revenues driven by both divisions, with overall average annual growth 2025-2029 expected to be around 5.5%; EBITDA at the end of the plan expected to be around EUR 100 million, supported by the progressive improvement in operating profitability; average annual Capex expected to be around EUR 22 million, aimed at technological evolution and the strengthening of production capacity; and a significant reduction in net financial debt, with a target value close to zero at the end of the plan period.

The financial manoeuvre

The board also approved a financial manoeuvre that aims, among other things, to refinance debt and reduce the group's debt level, and to further strengthen its financial flexibility. The manoeuvre envisages, among other things, a new medium- to long-term loan of EUR 170m and a capital increase under option for EUR 100m.

Regarding the financial manoeuvre, Caselli emphasised that it 'represents an important strategic step towards strengthening the group's financial structure'. The operation is designed to 'further increase the group's financial flexibility, enabling it to promptly seize development opportunities in markets with greater growth potential and to support the guidelines set out in the 2026-2029 Business Plan'.

"The Trevi Group will be in a position to face the new development phase with confidence, and to make the most of its technological know-how, consolidating its role as an international reference in the field of underground engineering," the CEO commented.

The financial manoeuvre also includes signature lines for a total indicative amount of between EUR 150 million and EUR 200 million, functional to the performance of operational activities and participation in tenders for the acquisition of new contracts. The capital increase is intended to strengthen the group's financial flexibility and support the implementation of the industrial plan. The board of directors has convened an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to grant a proxy for the capital increase (the subscription price will be determined close to the launch of the option offer).

The board will also submit to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting a proposal to regroup the company's ordinary shares, in the ratio of one new share for every 20 existing shares, to be carried out, in line with market practice for similar transactions, prior to the start of the capital increase and functional to the same.

The Role of Mediobanca

Trevi - Finanziaria Industriale has appointed Mediobanca to act as solo global coordinator and bookrunner of the transaction. The transaction will be assisted by an underwritten pre-security agreement, pursuant to which the latter has undertaken to enter into a guarantee agreement for the subscription of any new shares remaining unsubscribed at the end of the auction on the Stock Exchange of unexercised rights, for a maximum amount equal to the amount of the capital increase, net of the countervalue of the underwriting commitment undertaken by CdP Equity.

The intervention of the sole global coordinator and bookrunner is aimed at supporting the successful completion of the capital increase, as part of the broader financial manoeuvre aimed at, among other things, refinancing and reducing debt, strengthening the group's financial flexibility and supporting the implementation of the 2026-2029 industrial plan. The signing of the pre-guarantee agreement was previously submitted to the company's committee for transactions with related parties, which expressed a favourable opinion on the congruity of the related terms and conditions with market practice.
