Orascom Construction revenue jumps 55% to $5.1 billion in 2025

Orascom Construction, the Cairo-based construction giant controlled by Egypt’s wealthiest family, the Sawiris family, has delivered a powerful set of preliminary unaudited results for fiscal year 2025, underscoring accelerating growth across its key markets in the Middle East, Africa, and the United States.

The Cairo-based engineering giant, controlled by the Sawiris family, also posted sharp increases in backlog, operating profit and net earnings as demand for data centers, renewable energy and power infrastructure accelerated globally.

Revenue growth accelerates
Revenue rose from $3.26 billion in 2024 to $5.06 billion in 2025, representing a 55% surge and driven by record contract awards across the United States, the Middle East and Africa. 

Middle East and Africa operations accounted for 57% of total revenue, while U.S. projects delivered strong momentum, particularly in large-scale data center construction.

Record backlog and contract wins
Consolidated backlog climbed 18.9% year-on-year to $9.03 billion. New awards surged 86.6 percent to $5.58 billion, including a 352% jump in fourth-quarter awards.

U.S. data center contracts accounted for a major share of the $3.47 billion secured in America, while Saudi Arabia and Egypt powered growth in the Middle East.

Profit more than doubles
EBITDA rose 101 percent to $305 million. Operating profit climbed% to $272.2 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased 65% to $195 million, pushing earnings per share to $1.77. Margins strengthened as project execution improved across high-growth sectors.

Sawiris family controls
Founded in 1976 by Onsi Sawiris, the company remains majority-owned by the Sawiris family through OS Private Trust Company, which holds a controlling stake.

With a record backlog, strong geographic diversification and growing exposure to data centers and renewable energy, Orascom Construction enters 2026 with significant earnings visibility.
