Total revenues also grew, up 5.8% between January and September this year to €2,956 million. EBITDA was €1,894 million, 7% more than in the same period last year.

Abertis is very pleased with its performance in the telecoms field as it is the sphere in which revenues are showing the most growth, now accounting for 13% of the company's total businesses.

The company’s stake in Eutelsat saw Abertis allocated €44 million, as well as €15.6 million from its stake in Hispasat.
