Year review

The Segment currently includes companies managing water services in Latin America and ended 2023 with EBITDA of € 35.7 million, up by € 2.7 million with respect to 31 December 2022. The increase is mainly attributable to Aguas de San Pedro (+€ 3.9 million) due to higher invoiced volumes (1.8%) as well as to a rate increase due to inflation. This increase offset the reduction recorded by Acea Dominicana (-€ 1.2 million) following the termination of the contract with CAASD on 30 September 2023.

The average number of staff at 31 December 2023 was 2,478, in line with units at 31 December 2022.

Investments during the period came to € 5.7 million, slightly down (-€ 0.1 million) with respect to the previous year and almost entirely relative to investments made by Aguas de San Pedro in relation to integrated water service management for the city of San Pedro Sula, in Honduras.
