Alstom’s sales performance was supported by growth in the Services and Systems segments, as well as consistent execution in Signalling and Rolling Stock. Orders were driven by significant contracts in Germany, France, and North America, including the 3.6 billion EUR S-Bahn Rheinland contract and projects with Deutsche Bahn and Metrolinx.

Alstom confirmed its financial outlook for FY 2025/26, targeting organic sales growth of 3%–5%, an adjusted EBIT margin of around 7%, and free cash flow of 200–400 million EUR.

Over the medium term, Alstom reiterated its target of at least 1.5 billion EUR cumulative free cash flow over the three fiscal years from 2024/25 to 2026/27.

Alstom continues to invest in innovation, reporting R&D expenditure equivalent to 3.8% of sales. Sustainability targets are also progressing, with an 8% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions year-on-year and 88% of electricity consumption sourced from renewables as of March 2025.
