For the first nine months of the year, Veolia reported strong organic growth (on a like-for-like basis) in profits, with current EBIT up 14.2% to 2.52 billion euros, and EBITDA up 7.7% to 4.79 billion euros.

The public services group's sales totaled nearly 33.2 billion euros, up 10.7% on a like-for-like basis. Excluding the impact of energy prices, sales rose by 4.6% to end-September, after +5.2% to June 30.

In view of this performance, the 2023 objectives have been fully confirmed, with organic EBITDA growth expected at the top end of the +5 to +7% range, and a leverage ratio now expected to be less than 2.9 times.
