Arcadis announced its 2027-2029 strategy, "Arcadis' Reset: Focused Growth, Sustainable Value," at a Capital Markets Day in Amsterdam, built on three value-creation priorities: focus on strengths, simplify around clients and drive a performance culture, all enabled by AI and digital innovation. The company will divest the majority of its architecture business and its China operations, a move expected to increase the operating EBITDA margin by approximately 100 basis points, and will cut roughly 1,000 full-time-equivalent positions as part of overhead rightsizing targeted in 2027 while continuing to hire in growth areas. For 2027-2029, Arcadis is targeting mid-single-digit organic net revenue growth, a mid- to high-teens operating EBITDA margin, a dividend payout ratio of 30-40% of net income from operations, and net debt to operating EBITDA of 1.5-2.5x. The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance of low-single-digit organic net revenue growth and an operating EBITA margin of 11.7-12.0%, equivalent to an operating EBITDA margin of 14.3-14.6%. Arcadis expects its Core and Accelerate industries to grow from 74% to 85% of total net revenues by 2029, and set non-financial targets including a client satisfaction score of 85% or above by 2029, an Employee Net Promoter Score in the top quartile of the professional services sector, a 30% improvement in recordable safety incidents and proactive safety behaviours by 2029, and 100 billion euros of client project construction value assessed annually through its Future IMPACT+ sustainability framework by 2035.
