What does the backlog mean for growth?

The backlog reached EUR 17.70 billion by June 30, 2026, up 10.00 percent year over year. It excluded EUR 2.50 billion of contracts signed after June, which means the order book exceeded EUR 20.00 billion when those awards were included, according to Yahoo Finance.

Management's full-year 2026 guidance calls for turnover growth above 10.00 percent, an EBITDA margin of at least 18.00 percent and a net margin near 3.00 percent. The comparison is important: first-half turnover grew 6.00 percent, leaving the second half responsible for the acceleration implied by the guidance.
