Alstom forecast adjusted operating profit (EBIT) margin of 6% and a significantly positive free cash flow for the twelve months to the end of March 2024.

For fiscal 2022/23, the company reported an adjusted EBIT margin of 5.2% on adjusted operating profit of 852 million euros ($938 million), slightly above the 848 million euros expected by analysts in a company-compiled consensus.

The rail infrastructure company said it expected to reach its mid-term adjusted EBIT and free cash flow targets in fiscal 2025/26, one year later than previously envisioned, mainly due to the challenging economic environment and inflation in particular.
