Nicolas Mora's questions to Ferrovial SE (FER) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Nicolas Mora questioned the sustainability of the mid-double-digit price increases on North American motorways, especially given a tough traffic backdrop, and asked how long this performance could be extrapolated. He also inquired about the potential for refinancing or releveraging the U.S. Managed Lanes, given current U.S. Treasury yields.
Answer
Executive Ernesto Lopez Mozo explained that pricing is driven by hard-to-forecast Mandatory Modes, which are fueled by long-term population and business growth in the regions, making the capacity more valuable over time. He cautioned against simple extrapolation but highlighted the strong underlying trends. On refinancing, he stated that the company doesn't comment on opportunities until they are executed and there is nothing to announce at the moment.
