METLEN's Capital Markets Day: Aiming for €2 Billion EBITDA Growth and New Strategies

On April 28, 2025, METLEN hosted its highly anticipated Capital Markets Day at the London Stock Exchange. This significant event marked a turning point as the company's leadership outlined their strategic roadmap aiming to achieve an impressive €2 billion in EBITDA over the medium term, focusing solely on organic growth. This comes alongside METLEN's commitment to pursue a primary listing in London, enhancing its equity profile and market visibility.

Strong Financial Performance

Since 2020, METLEN has demonstrated remarkable financial strength, tripling its EBITDA and more than doubling its revenue. Such growth is attributed to the company's diversified and integrated business model, driving sustainable progress across sectors including energy, metals, and infrastructure concessions. The leadership emphasized their strategy to harness this momentum by consolidating efforts on high-quality advancements, especially as the global economy transitions towards greener solutions.

Robust Liquidity Supports Growth

A disciplined financial framework has allowed METLEN to maintain a leverage ratio consistently below 2x, even amid significant capital expenditure phases. As of December 2024, METLEN holds over €3 billion in liquidity, empowering the company to execute its strategic vision without compromise. This robust financial foundation has also been reflected in an increasing stock price since 2020, revealing heightened investor confidence and international interest.

Expanding Energy Operations

METLEN's energy sector remains a cornerstone of its growth strategy with more than 2 GW of mature pipeline projects and over €1.5 billion in backlog for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). The company's goal to achieve a 30% retail market share in Greece by 2028, complemented by expanding operations in data centers and digital management, is on a solid trajectory. METLEN also aims to enhance its energy trading and supply capabilities across Europe, aiding the transition to sustainable energy practices.

Leadership in the Metals Sector

In its metals operations, METLEN has strengthened its position as a leader in aluminum and strategic materials. The company is pioneering circular metallurgy by utilizing innovative technologies to recover critical metals from industrial waste with recovery rates nearing 99%. Plans to enter the gallium market — pivotal for semiconductors and defense applications — signify METLEN's dedication to diversifying its portfolio while strengthening its footprint in Europe's value chain.

Moreover, METLEN is fostering partnerships with elite defense firms to bolster its presence in the defense sector, underscoring its commitment to innovate while supporting key industries.

Infrastructure Sector as a Growth Engine

Additionally, METLEN is strategically navigating Greece's burgeoning infrastructure market through its subsidiaries, METKA ATE and M Concessions. The impending €18 billion annual infrastructure wave presents ample opportunities for the company to capitalize on, supported by flagship projects that exemplify METLEN's commitment to engineering excellence and sustainability.

Future Outlook

The Capital Markets Day serves as a critical milestone in METLEN's journey, reinforcing its steadfast dedication to operational excellence, strategic investments, and superior performance standards. The company's roadmap to reach €2 billion in EBITDA is crafted to enhance shareholder value and connect with global investors, solidifying its status as a forward-thinking industrial leader.
