Arcadis attributed the improvement to stronger utilization, lower enabling-function costs, operating leverage, and continued cost-control actions. Non-operating costs totaled 57 million euros in the first nine months, mainly reflecting restructuring, rightsizing, operating-model implementation, and related advisory costs.
