Nexans delivers ‘exceptional growth,’ well above mid-term guidance

Commenting on the group’s performance in 2025, Nexans chief executive Julien Hueber said 2025 was another strong year for the company, in which it delivered what he described as “an exceptional level of organic growth at +8.3%, well above its mid-term guidance.”

Mr Hueber said the company’s adjusted EBITDA margin increased markedly, by +161 basis points, in line with Nexans’ “selective approach and operational excellence across the board.”

Mr Hueber said 2025 “marked another year of targeted, value-creating M&A activity,” which, he said, “remains a cornerstone of the company’s growth model, supported by a pipeline of opportunities, and a sound balance-sheet and solid cash generation.”

Mr Hueber continued, “With the end of our portfolio rotation, we are now intensifying our commercial, industrial and operational focus through regional business units and streamlined internal interfaces, enhancing decision-making.

“We entered 2026 in a more volatile environment, but we believe the resilience of our business profile and the agility of our operations provide a solid foundation to continue executing our strategy and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.”
