Third quarter 2026: Group revenue up 10%
Paris, 22 October 2026
- Group: Consolidated revenue of €521 million (+10%1), driven by a strong performance across all activities
- Eurotunnel: Revenue up 4% to €383 million thanks to growth in Shuttle activity
- Eleclink: Revenue up 41% to €93 million, driven by the full availability of the interconnector and opportunities in the electricity markets
- Europorte: Revenue up 7% to €45 million
- Target EBITDA2 for 2026 of between €835 million and €870 million3 confirmed
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer, comments: “The 3rd quarter performance confirms the strength of Getlink’s business model and the complementary nature of its activities. Eurotunnel pursues its progress, driven by growth in the Shuttle services, which are gaining market share in both the passenger and truck activities. Eleclink continues to create value by capitalising on a favourable market environment, whilst Europorte benefits from the momentum of its infrastructure activities. Finally, recent developments in the cross- Channel high-speed rail market – notably Trenitalia’s order for new trains and the unveiling of Virgin’s project for a 2030 launch – reinforce our confidence in the Group’s medium-term growth potential.”

Group
The Group’s consolidated revenue for the third quarter grew by 10% at constant exchange rates, to €521 million.
Eurotunnel
At €383 million, Eurotunnel’s revenue is up 4% compared with Q3 2025.
Shuttle Services
Revenue from the Shuttle activity (LeShuttle and LeShuttle Freight) reached €254 million, up 5% in Q3 compared with the same period last year.
- LeShuttle
- A 2% decline in traffic, with 782,846 passenger vehicles transported in Q3, mainly due to temporary external factors such as uncertainties surrounding the roll-out of the EES.
- Market share rose to 52.4% (vs 50.8% in Q3 2025), confirming leadership position in the car market.
- LeShuttle Freight
- Truck traffic up 5% compared with Q3 2025, despite a still subdued economic environment in Great Britain.
- Market share rose by 260 basis points to 37.4% compared with Q3 2025.
Railway Network
Railway Network revenue rose by 2% to €112 million.
Eurostar recorded a 2% increase in traffic in Q3, driven by growth on the London–Amsterdam route and strong demand in its traditional markets, despite disruption caused by the heatwave at the start of the period.
Other revenue
Other revenue rose by 21% in Q3 2026 to reach €17 million, supported by growth in the Getlink Customs Services business as well as the retail business.
Eleclink
In the third quarter, Eleclink’s revenue amounted to €93 million, up 41%, driven by opportunities in the electricity markets.
The interconnector recorded an availability rate of 100% in the third quarter.
The Group continued to participate in capacity auctions. At 30 September, Eleclink had secured €311 million in revenue for 20264 (representing 98% of annual capacity). For 2027, €306 million in revenue (83% of annual capacity) has been secured, subject to effective delivery of the service.
Europorte
Europorte’s revenue was up 7% to €45 million.
Over the quarter, Europorte’s growth was driven in particular by its infrastructure activities.
In parallel, Europorte is strengthening its international operations, with the renewal of its safety certificate in Belgium and Germany and the extension of this certificate in Switzerland.
Guidance
The third-quarter performance enables the Group to confirm its EBITDA target for 2026 of between €835 million and €870 million5.
This guidance takes into account:
- Reasonable growth assumptions for Eurotunnel, based on the commercial momentum observed over recent months, assuming limited disruptions related to EES implementation and social movements in France.
- For Eleclink, the revenue already secured as at 30 September 2026 (subject to the effective delivery of the service), recent electricity market prices and use of a method similar to that used for 2025 for the profit- sharing provision in operating costs.
The Group is currently exploring refinancing options for the C2B tranche (equivalent to the CLEF6 A8) of Eurotunnel’s Term Loan.
