TRIESTE – Traffic growth and efficient management supported the 2025 accounts of CAV (Concessioni Autostradali Venete), which closed the year with a net profit of 30.4 million euros, up 3.8% on the previous year.
CAV’s shareholders’ meeting approved the 2025 financial statements, with a value of production of 179.6 million euros and pre-tax profit of 42.9 million. The result was achieved without tariff increases, mainly thanks to traffic growth and cost control, CAV said.
Toll revenues rose by 1.34%, driven by higher volumes. Paying vehicle-kilometres reached 1,903 million (+1.06%). In the closed toll system, which includes the A4 Padua East–A57 junction and the Mestre Bypass, the figure stood at 1,146 million (+1%), while in the open system (A57 Venice Mestre–Terraglio and the Marco Polo link road) it reached 757 million (+1.17%). Overall transits increased in both the closed and open systems.
On the cost side, the company recorded a 1.09% reduction, to 130.3 million euros. Service costs in particular fell (-4.03%), while personnel costs and depreciation remained under control. The improvement was reflected in margins: EBITDA stood at 96.8 million euros (+1.8%) and EBIT at 49.3 million euros (+6.11%). Financial expenses also decreased (-12.94%).
In 2025, the commitment to network maintenance increased significantly, up 22% on the previous year. The works involved bridges, overpasses, junctions and safety barriers, in line with UNI ISO 39001 standards. Digitalisation projects are also continuing, including the completion of secure parking areas at Spinea and Preganziol and the development of the eROADS programme for smart roads.
Sustainability remains a central pillar. Total energy consumption stood at 12,454 MWh, 83% of which was covered by renewable sources. On the circular economy front, the waste recovery rate reached 95.9%, while the use of recycled asphalt mix exceeded 539,000 tonnes. Investments were aligned with the European Taxonomy, with work on infrastructure, electric charging and digital traffic management.
During the year, CAV also transferred 51.4 million euros to the Veneto Region to finance infrastructure works, confirming the company’s role in supporting local development.
