I am pleased to provide you with an update on Team EIFFEL’s 2025 performance, our strategic priorities and the actions we are taking for a sustainable growth trajectory.
Since my arrival as new CEO of Team EIFFEL in February 2026, I have met an organization with exceptional energy, professionalism and a genuine high-performance spirit. What stands out to me is that Team EIFFEL is fueled by talented people who are deeply committed to delivering great work. At the same time, I see exciting opportunities to embed advanced technology more structurally in how we operate the business, and to shape new AI-enabled propositions that can elevate the impact we bring to our clients.
In 2025, the environment remained challenging, with sustained market uncertainty delaying new projects across public and private sectors. Although our year was characterized by declining revenues (-6.3% YoY) and profitability (-21.3% YoY) on a pro forma basis, we proved to be more resilient than our large competitors, preserving our competitive position in a turbulent market.
We start 2026 with a clear agenda and a strong, motivated organization ready to execute. In the fourth quarter of 2025, key measures were already implemented to sharpen the organization and prepare for a successful 2026:
- We simplified our company structure to focus on three core pillars – Engineering & Projects, Legal Advisory and Finance & Technology –creating a clear market presence and enabling a disciplined commercial approach.
- We launched a sales excellence program that is already strengthening client engagement, conversion rates and utilization of large framework contracts. We will continue to build on this foundation with new initiatives aimed at improving commercial effectiveness, particularly around commercial rate development.
- We accelerated operational excellence, including workforce optimization, better alignment of FTE flows with market demand and a comprehensive OPEX program designed to increase efficiency and create headroom for strategic investments.
We expect market conditions to gradually stabilize during 2026, supported by a more predictable political and economic environment in the Netherlands.
Together with the leadership team, we will develop a new strategy that sets Team EIFFEL up for the next phase of growth during the first half of 2026. We will leverage technology to accelerate our services and combine our domain expertise into integrated, multidisciplinary, tech-enabled solutions allowing us to unlock a meaningful and inspiring new chapter for our organization. I am energized by the potential ahead and look forward to leading that journey.
