Miguel Bandrés
Good morning to everyone and thank you for joining today's call. I'd like to welcome you to our 2025 Q4 and also full year results presentation that will be presented by Jose Antonio Lasanta, our CEO, Javier Hergueta, our CFO, and myself.
The presentation should take around 30 minutes, in which we will share the most relevant events that have taken place in the period for our business as well as our performance. We'll comment on our key financials, our geographical performance, and our transformation effort as well as our sustainability initiatives, and we'll end with key conclusions.
After, we will open a Q&A session. Should we not get to respond to everything in today's session, we'll get back on any open topics on an individual basis.
I want to again thank you all for your attendance, and to remind everyone that this presentation has been pre-recorded and is available via webcast on our corporate web page that you can find at www.prosegurcash.com. Before I leave the floor to Jose Antonio, I'd like to share some news regarding cash that have lately appeared in the media.
They cover interesting topics such as the importance of cash for lower-income families in the UK, the stance towards cash of North Americans, how often cash is used in Colombia, or the resilience of cash payments in the eurozone. They're all cases that show the relevance of cash in different geographies and for different purposes, being privacy, inclusion, or budgeting or expense control.
In the first news, we can read from the BBC that the UK government will grant cash payments to people that happen to be in financial need. This new funding scheme will provide emergency funds for low-income individuals across England.
This highlights how important cash is for all segments of society, especially for those that are most vulnerable. To reach them effectively and to allow them to budget their expenses accordingly, no other payment mean is as effective and as inclusive as cash is.
In the second news, we cross continent towards the US. We read from Moneywise that 84% of Americans oppose having a cashless country, citing privacy and spending control as key reasons for their positioning.
Once again, in different places around the world, citizens are rising to defend their privacy and their right to control their personal spending. 84% is more than a relevant amount as to take into consideration when regulators are working on warranting basic economic freedom, for which cash, its acceptance, and its availability are crucial.
Next, and moving down to Colombia, we can read from the Diario ADN that this country stands out amongst cash users, since 7 out of 10 daily payments are made with physical money. Here we can see that in Colombia, consumers stand behind their payment choice, backing cash as their most preferred option.
When doing this, they show with their example the relevance of cash for Latin American economies and the preference citizens have for it. Lastly, and coming back to Europe, we can read from Euronews that Europeans pay for more than half of their purchases in cash.
In 14 of the 20 countries in the eurozone, cash is the most widely accepted method of payment, accounting for between 45% and 55% of all transactions. Again, here we can see that because of the many positive attributes cash has, it's the preferred payment mean in over 70% of eurozone countries.
All the above are a reflection of the many events and news that take place in the world regarding cash that underscore its unique attributes and the endorsement it gets from consumers and authorities alike. We are proud to assure that the availability of cash in society continues to run smoothly and effectively in close collaboration with other relevant stakeholders, such as financial institutions, retailers, or regulators.
After this news update, I will share today's agenda. Firstly, Jose Antonio will review the period's highlights.
Second, Javier will share with us the key financials for the year, after which Jose Antonio will take the floor again to reflect on our transformation initiatives, and then I'll share key developments per region. Finally, Jose Antonio will update us on latest sustainability developments before sharing his conclusions and open the Q&A session.
This being said, Jose Antonio, the floor is yours.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Miguel, for sharing so interesting news on the world of cash. Good morning to everyone and thank you for attending.
2025 has been a challenging year for our company, in which, despite an unfavorable exchange rate environment and Argentina, a key market for us, having taken decisive steps towards its macro normalization, we have managed to maintain our relative operating margins and improve our bottom line in relative and absolute terms, based on our determined transformation and a sequential improvement in Europe and a strong performance in Asia. All of this demonstrates our business model resilience.
Our top line has shown organic growth of over 5%, which has been tainted by an 11.1% currency impact that accelerated as the year progressed. We must remember that 70% of our revenue is not in euros and is hence affected both by the evolution of the US dollar versus the euro and by local currencies fluctuations versus the US dollar.
Combining both elements, sales declined by 4.9%. Despite the above, we have been able to maintain a 12% EBITDA margin.
I would like to here highlight that the non-recurrent efficiency program we have carried out since Q2 to improve our operations, and in which we have invested more than €15 million, has been finalized and offset by positive extraordinary items. To end the year, our EBITDA margin has improved in Q4 by 30 basis points on a quarter-on-quarter basis, reaching 12.5% on sales.
Net profit has increased by 3.3% and 30 basis points versus 2024 to €94 million, showing the improved performance of the bottom part of our P&L. Regarding transformation, we continue to advance at a very strong pace.
Sales for these solutions now account for 35.2% of total revenue, and the penetration has increased by 300 basis points year-on-year. Of particular relevance has been the performance of our Cash Today solutions that have behaved very well in all geographies.
In terms of cash flow, our free cash flow reached €108 million on the back of disciplined capex control as well as in strict working capital management. With this, we have been able to reduce our total net debt by €36 million year-on-year, which is a clear proof of our commitment to debt reduction.
Lastly, I want to share that we have effectively repaid the €600 million bond we had outstanding and that our balance sheet is strong, flexible, and well-funded on to 2030. As well, our board has proposed a €62.5 million dividend for the year 2025 to be paid in 2026, which implies maintaining the same dividend per share as the prior year.
Lastly, it's important for us to highlight that Standard & Poor's has included us in their demanding Global Sustainability Yearbook for 2026, which recognizes our constant effort to have a sustainable company. With this, I'd like to hand over to Javier so he can share with us our key financials.
Javier Hergueta Vázquez
Thank you, Jose Antonio. First, looking at our profit and loss account, revenue has reached €1,987 million.
As we can see on the right-hand side of the page, organic growth reaches 5.3%, while inorganic adds almost 1%. However, as Jose Antonio pointed out in the prior slide, foreign exchange has negatively affected us by 11.1%.
When totaling all these effects, our overall sales have decreased by 4.9% in the year. Asia continues to be clearly our organic growth leader, and we foresee that to continue into the future.
Our EBITDA totals €356 million, which together with depreciation of €118 million in the period makes us reach an EBITA of €238 million, 5% less than in 2024. It is important to highlight that despite both the currency and Argentina's normalization impacts on our country mix, we've been able to maintain our 12% relative margin.
Looking at the bottom right-hand side of the page, the one-off impact from the extraordinary efficiency program that summed €15 million and for which we expect a payback of 18 months has been offset by other positive extraordinaries fundamentally related to prior acquisitions' deferred payments. As we continue down our P&L, amortization of intangibles reached €22 million, €3 million less than last year, and with which we reach an EBIT of €216 million, 10.9% of sales, which is 10 basis points improvement versus 2024.
It is important as well to note that the financial result totaled €47 million, €13 million less than in 2024, mainly on lower currency impact, with which we reach an earning before taxes of €169 million, €3 million more than 1 year ago, and that allows us to improve our margin over sales by 60 basis points to 8.5%. Taxes total €75 million in line with last year in absolute terms, and results in a reduction of 60 basis points in the tax rate to 44.4%, a trend that should continue into the future.
With that all, our net profit reaches €94 million, growing 3.3% versus 1 year ago, and represents 4.7% of total sales, a 30 basis points improvement year-on-year. I want to underline the resilience of our P&L that shows especially in its bottom part towards net profit.
This all allows us to deliver earnings per share of 6.07 cents, 1.2% better than the one achieved a year ago. Even in such an adverse environment, we have been able to not only protect, but improve profitability for our shareholders.
If we go to page 5, we can review our cash flow and net debt position. Starting from the EBITDA I shared in the prior page of €356 million for the year, provisions and other items deduct €69 million, €34 million more than the prior year, explained by the difference year-on-year in extraordinaries and other non-cash items.
Income tax implied a cash outflow of €83 million, €19 million more than in 2024, while capex has totaled €82 million, showing our discipline towards capex management, which we aim at maintaining in relative terms over sales. Investment in working capital has totaled €14 million despite growing organically at 5.3%, as we've seen earlier, and representing a substantial reduction of €21 million year-on-year as a result of an effective DSO and DPO management.
With this all, our free cash flow reaches €108 million, implying a 77% conversion over EBITDA in the year, improving 300 basis points over 2024. Interest payments reached €19 million, slightly over a year ago, despite the refinancing program carried out throughout the last part of the year.
M&A payments have totaled €52 million, contributing to reduce the M&A-related outstanding debt by €70 million. Dividend outflow totaled €61 million, and treasury stock summed €8 million in 2025.
Our net financial position at the beginning of the period was at €643 million, to which we shall decrease the net cash flow and as well deduct a €10 million negative impact from foreign exchange rate. This results in a net financial position for the end of the period of €711 million, increase fundamentally due to M&A payments made and extraordinary efficiency costs, to which we must add €98 million of IFRS 16 debt, €55 million in deferred payments, and €14 million positive of treasury stock, achieving a total net debt of €850 million, reducing €36 million year-on-year and taking it below 2023 levels.
Our resulting leverage ratio has reached 2.4 times, 0.1 times more than 2024, fundamentally driven by the effects of currencies on our EBITDA levels. As said, we're confident that into 2026 we will be able to continue our deleveraging.
With this, I would like to hand over to Jose Antonio so he can share with us on transformation.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Javier. Looking into transformation, I'm very happy to share that these solutions now represent 35.2% of our total sales.
In 2025, revenue of our transformation solutions reached €700 million, which is a 4.1% increase in relative terms. Once again, this underlines that our products are very well received by our customers that continue to trust in us as a key service provider.
This growth over 2024 is especially relevant if we take into account that in 2024 Q4, we undertook very relevant non-recurrent projects of ATMs in Latin America that have not been repeated in 2025, together with the already mentioned currency impact that of course as well affects these sales. Penetration over total sales, as I just said, now reach 35.2%, implying an increase of 300 basis points year-on-year.
If I am to highlight one especially key performer, this has been our Cash Today solutions that continue to deliver extraordinary growth in all geographies and to which we have increased our product type range. We are determined to continue the transformation of our company into the future, focusing on our key solutions: Cash Today, ATMs, banking correspondents, and forex business.
With this, I would like to pass over to Miguel so he can share with us the key highlights of our performance by region.
Miguel Bandrés
Thank you, Jose Antonio. I'd like to first start sharing with you the key developments in Latin America, our main region that accounts for 58% of group sales.
Revenue in the region totaled €1,145 million in 2025, and this implies a decline of 11.5% versus the same period achieved a year ago, driven fundamentally by a strongly adverse 17% currency effect. The evolution of the US dollar versus the euro as well as of local currencies versus the US dollar have taken a negative toll on our sales.
Very important to note that underlying organic growth has been 5.4%, which reflects a positive evolution overall in the region, save Argentina. The different elections that have taken place in the later part of the year and the measures taken in order to balance public spending have affected consumption, as reflected in our figures.
We're confident that as the country continues its change efforts, growth will restart and we'll see strong activity back. Transformation products have experienced as well a very positive year despite the currency effect, and they've managed to grow versus the prior year, reaching €435 million, which is 38% of total sales, increasing thus the penetration by 490 basis points.
Growth in the region has been fueled by strong performance of Cash Today and banking correspondent initiatives. In terms of margins, pro forma EBITA, which excludes the one-off impact of the €15 million efficiency program carried out in the region during the last three quarters and other extraordinary items related to prior acquisitions payments, has reached 16.1% of sales, that is an 80 basis points reduction versus 1 year ago, fundamentally due to the Argentinian normalization as well as the effect of currencies on the country mix.
We believe these margins should expand into 2026. Turning now to page 8, Europe accounts for 33% of group sales.
Revenue in the region has reached €662 million, that's a 1.4% or €9 million increase over a year ago. This growth is backed on an organic positive 1.5% growth that has been slowly but resiliently accelerating quarter on quarter and that we believe will continue into 2026.
The region experienced a minor 0.1% drawback from currency effect. We have to underline that this growth has taken place in a year where Spain and Portugal have seen modest 2% increases in GDP terms and Germany, our biggest market in the region, has experienced no growth.
Transformation in the region now reaches 33% of total sales, a 10 basis points improvement over 1 year ago. The main contributor to this transformation product growth continues to be Cash Today, which we believe still has a lot of room for growth from our expanded product range.
When we look in margins, pro forma EBITA, which excludes extraordinary positive impacts due to prior M&A payments, has improved by 15.6% to reach €35 million, and in relative terms totals 5.4% of sales, 70 basis points better than in 2024. We're confident that on a pro forma basis, the margins of the region will continue to grow and will actively contribute to the company's more balanced growth and margin profile.
We now turn to Asia Pacific, a region that now represents 9% of group sales, up from 7% in 2024. Sales in this geography have reached €180 million, a significant 26.4% improvement year-on-year.
It's particularly important to note that this growth has been propelled by a 21.7% organic growth, which continues strong across the region. Such a growth is backed on strong economies, a significant outsourcing still to be developed, and an increasingly high adoption of our transformation products.
However, as we've already seen in prior quarters, currencies have reduced our revenue by 8.1% in euro terms. They've been affected by the decline of both local currencies versus the US dollar and US dollar versus the euro throughout the year.
Looking at transformation, these products have grown by 53.9% to reach €47 million in 2025. The penetration achieved is of 25.8% of sales, a significant increase of 460 basis points year-on-year, especially noteworthy considering the strong push of the core business.
This growth has been driven fundamentally by the forex business. In terms of margins, as anticipated, EBITA significantly improved to doubly territory, reaching 10.4% of sales and €19 million in absolute euro terms.
Thank you for your attention, and now I'll turn to Jose Antonio.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Miguel. I would like to now share our key sustainability-related developments.
Regarding the environment, I am glad to share our achievements in terms of decarbonization. We have reached our goal of reducing our carbon footprint by 8.4% versus a reference year of 2023, and clearly beating our yearly target of 1.7% reduction.
This shows our commitment to reducing the impact of our business on the environment in an always economically meaningful manner, without jeopardizing, quite the opposite, our financials. As well, I am pleased to let you know that we have been ranked in Standard & Poor's 2026 Global Sustainability Yearbook.
It is noteworthy to reckon that this list recognizes a select group of companies, recognizing us in the top 15% amongst over 8,000 candidates for an outstanding sustainability performance. Turning to our people, I'm very happy to share that we've been able to reduce our workplace accident frequency rate by 9% versus 2024 as a result of the multiple initiatives in terms of training and prevention we have invested in over time.
To continue improving our team safety reflected in the above rate, we have launched a road to safety training targeted at our fleet teams, taking into account that a large portion of our colleagues are in the logistics area and that this is where most accidents take place. We are sure that this initiative will have a very positive impact.
Lastly, in the governance area, I am proud to share that we maintained the highest rating on the AENOR Good Corporate Governance Index, reaching G++ grade, a level granted only to the best-performing companies. As well, I want to share that almost 2,500 employees have achieved our corporate compliance certification that assures that we are a more robust and trustworthy company.
Lastly, this year we have improved in almost all key ESG ratings we are in. We can see particularly significant improvements in the S&P Global and MSCI ratings, showing that third-party independent agencies ratify our efforts and achievements in the matter.
We are sure that by taking care of our people, by decreasing accidents, reducing our impact on the environment, and improving our governance, we build a more sustainable company. Now I would like to summarize my main conclusions.
2025 has been a very demanding year in which we've been able to improve our bottom-line profitability, as well as continue to transform in an adverse exchange rate environment. Our business has weathered the normalization actions undertaken by the Argentina authorities as well as the dollar and other currencies' devaluation.
In this difficult environment, we have been able to both implement the efficiency program and capture growth and profitability in Europe, which has been showing a resiliently accelerating quarter-on-quarter improvement, while Asia continues to show a strong growth. We foresee these trends to continue into the future.
Transformation has been at the forefront of our strategy, where we are to focus on our four key families of solutions: Cash Today, ATMs, Corban, and the forex business. Regarding them, we will continue to enlarge our offering and digitize our portfolio.
These efforts have resulted in improving our net profit by 3.3%, demonstrating our strong commitment to creating shareholder value and maintaining a strong shareholder remuneration while we've reduced debt. In all, as said, 2025 and despite the evolution of currencies and Argentina's normalization has been a transformative year for us.
We have improved our bottom line, made our operations more efficient, and continue to transform our company. We are sure that we are best prepared to face 2026, a year in which we are already working hard to continue delivering, and where we should see an improved Latam business, a continued profitability and growth in Europe, and a consolidation of our Asian performance.
Thank you very much again for your attention, and now I would like to open the floor to any questions that you might have.
Operator
Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced.
To withdraw your question, please press star one and one again. We will now take the first question from the line of one moment, Alvaro Bernal from Alantra.
Please go ahead.
Alvaro Bernal
Hi, thank you for taking my questions. I have three.
The first one is regarding Latam. We have seen it has suffered significantly this quarter with declines in organic growth.
If you can explain a bit better the underlying behind this, is it solely because of Argentina or Brazil is also suffering? Your view on this going forward into 2026, do you expect a recovery here?
Also, if you can shed some light regarding the margins in the region, it would be very helpful. That's the first question.
The second one is regarding investments. We have seen muted investments in both capex and leases this year.
How do you see this going forward? Do you expect them to jump again as you renew, for example, opening stores for the forex business, or well, if you can give us some color, it'd be very helpful.
Lastly, how do you see net debt for 2026? Do you have a specific target in mind, leverage or whole number?
It would be very helpful. Thank you.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Alvaro. Going first to to your first question, it's true what you're saying.
If we take out Argentina, the growth of Latam has accelerated during the fourth quarter, it's been mostly Argentina, I would say 100% of the of the issue in the fourth quarter. How do we see it in the future?
We see that it's going to be a important improvement in in Argentina back to to to the relative performance that was before year 2025. We see margins stabilizing and getting to where we were we were in 2024.
It's true that the mix is going to change the the the mix of of countries, there will be some some change in there, but but there is going to be a an improvement and it's going to be an an important improvement there in Latin America. Second question on capex, again, it's it's true what you're saying.
This year we've been quite shy on on the capex of forex, but this year we are going to have a a stronger boost. We we have won two big airports, Frankfurt new terminal and JFK Terminal 1, Terminal 6, we've been investing on those two airports and we'll keep investing on new retail branches.
There there's going to be some boost in capex there on the forex business. At the same time, we are going to keep optimizing our capex in in in the rest of of the areas, I think we are going to see that there is going to be optimization on the on on the what we call infrastructure capex, and and we'll see some improvements there, but, as you said, totally overcome by by the capex we are going to undertake on the on the forex business.
On the third question, our commitment is to deleverage and to keep bringing down the debt of of the company, we believe there's going to be a deleverage on relative terms, but also in absolute terms as we have seen this year. This year has been mainly focused on on three areas, no?
This year I think it's going to be we are going to see a deleveraging on on banking debt as well. The bank also yes, I I think that's that's more or less the the answers to your three questions.
Alvaro Bernal
Very helpful. Thank you.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Okay.
Operator
Thank you. We will now take the next question from the line of Enrique Yaguez from Bestinver Securities.
Please go ahead.
Enrique Yaguez
Good morning, everybody. I have a bunch of questions about Argentina and then a couple of them on other issues.
Regarding Argentina, I don't know if you could give us what kind of organic decline suffered last year, how much Argentina weighs over the total group revenue, and in this if in the first quarter you see some signs of recovery. The medium term probably will stabilize, but how is the situation right now?
Then on the restructuring plan announced in Latam last year, I would like to know if all the costs have been already incurred or just provisioned, and how that will cope with the recent labor reform announced in Argentina, if you could save some money or not? Some thoughts on this.
I was late at the conference, but I don't know if you provided what was the net extraordinary impact of €12 million in Q4, because I think on a gross basis it could be higher due because probably more restructuring costs were incurred in Latam. Thank you very much.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Enrique. Regarding your first question, in Argentina there were three things that happened.
The first one was that the consumption came down because of the policies of the government, and although you see an increase on GDP of the country, the GDP growth has been mainly focused on the energy and agricultural sector, but the internal economy and the consumption is very depressed right now, although the government has stated that this year is going to be a much better year. To tell you the truth, we have seen very small recovery.
There has been some recovery, but really small and not at such extent as government had stated. The second event that has happened is that devaluation has been much worse than inflation, has hit it in our accounts.
Devaluation has been quite important. Then the third one has been the monetary policy restrictions.
We know that the government has put a constrain on the money that the banks have to hold that has been at 58% compared to 13% that is in Europe, no? So 58%, I think the government has said that they are going to open this year and they want to really make the internal growth, the internal consumption growth much higher, and we are going to be very we are going to be expecting or looking forward to this very early.
Although I think we have what is being really an achievement for us is that after some of the restructuring costs, we are now at the same relative terms that we were before 2025. I think the country has done a tremendous effort in adjusting the cost structure, which is really difficult in our business, and really the country has done very well on that front.
Restructuring costs, it's true that it's been incurred 90%, 95% of the whole program, in February we are going to do the last few bits, but it's small bit. Why not in January?
It's because in January is a very strong month in Latin America, and also a lot of people take holidays, it's very difficult to adjust your last bits during January, and where we've done it during February, but everything is done in February. The plan is to has a payback of around 18 months, we are going to see the all the savings we are going to harvest the savings of this program during the year, and we are going to see at the late part of the year a very important kick back of all these savings.
Then the third question was about The extraordinary in Q4, the extraordinary items. It's been mainly some deferred payments that we had in some of the M&As.
That whenever we do a transaction, we try to or we record the business plan given by the sellers, and normally is quite bullish, and there's been some adjustments on the deferred payments of the tail of the acquisitions that we've done in 2023 and 2022.
Enrique Yaguez
The compensations for M&A.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Yes. Do you want to add, Javier?
Javier Hergueta Vázquez
I think just to clarify if you still have doubts, Quique, it's basically the adjustment on the pending payments which are recognized in our balance sheet. As Jose Antonio was saying, we're typically recognizing it on the initial business case, and there are typically some adjustments between that scenario and the actual performance, and this is reflecting that, lower level of pending payments going forward in our balance sheet.
Enrique Yaguez
How much was the restructuring cost in Q4 in Latam, just to have the In Q4
Javier Hergueta Vázquez
in Q4 we've undertaken
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
€3 million
Javier Hergueta Vázquez
€3 million more of efficiency programs in in Latin America.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Yes.
Enrique Yaguez
Okay. Thank you very much.
Javier Hergueta Vázquez
When you see the Latam figures, in the adjustments, €3 million come from the efficiency program, €3 million come from the M&A arena on the other side.
Enrique Yaguez
Understood. Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. We will now take the next question from the line of Joaquín García-Quirós from JB Capital.
Please go ahead.
Joaquín García-Quirós
Yes, hello. Thank you for taking my questions.
The first one is in Europe. We've seen some recovery or acceleration throughout the quarters.
Now the growth is almost at 3% for the fourth quarter. What can we expect for this year?
Should we see this 3% more or less now as the trend going forward, or was just something specific for this quarter? Germany should continue to weigh down on that growth?
Then for Asia Pacific, it's been growing fairly positive throughout this year. Should that growth continue, or should we expect already a slowdown in 2026?
Then lastly, assuming that Argentina recovers, would mid-single digit EBITDA growth be achievable? Thank you.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you, Joaquín. How do we see 2026?
By by region, as you said, I think the the global business, we are going to see a growth of mid-single digit in terms of sales, and some profitability enhancement above that. I think that's the global picture.
If we go by region, I think Latin America is going to improve, mainly because of Argentina. We are positive on on that one and and because of the restructuring program.
We are going to see some earnings enhancing there. Then Europe, we are going to we are going to see some growth in in the business.
I think the 3% the 3% growth, I think is going to be beaten this year. It's going to be a bit higher.
Also some earnings enhancing there. Then Asia, still a small region, but but we are very positive on it.
Indonesia is doing a fantastic job, and and is and also the Philippines, India. We are going to we are seeing a a very strong very strong growth there.
Then I think the Australian the Australian issue that we had is been more or less solved. It will be completely solved hopefully in June June to September 2026 in which we will be sign a deal with the major customers for a medium term for medium term, I think that's going to give us a lot of stability.
If we look at the lower part of the of of the P&L, I think we are going to have also good news on the on the finance and costs financial costs and on the tax and the tax rate, both in in the P&L and in the cash flow, because as in Argentina, taxes are paid based on previous year profits, this year our taxes have been our tax bill has been quite high for for the profit that we that we have had in in Argentina. Next year we are going to have some tax bill cut because of that, so that will improve also our our cash flow.
I think we are positive on the of achieving the mid-single digit growth in global terms, then some earnings enhancing at EBITDA level, and then a much better increase on the net profit level. I think that's that's going to be more or less the summary.
This is going to be reflected on cash flow because of this tax bill that we just mentioned. That's that's our and we will use this cash flow to deleverage a bit more.
This is more or less the summary that we have for 2026.
Operator
Thank you. Thank you.
As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one and one on your telephone. That's star one one to ask a question.
There are no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the conference back to Jose Antonio Lasanta for closing remarks.
José Antonio Lasanta Luri
Thank you very much for your attendance and for your questions, interesting questions as always, and we'll see or we'll meet next year. As I said, I think we are very positive on 2026 because of the trends of the market, and because of the last issues on the industry.
That yesterday Brink's announced the acquisition of NCR, that I think is going to be the confirmation of an strategy that we are seeing that CIT companies are going to take the lead and the forefront for bank ATMs externalization, outsourcing, that we are seeing in the market. Thank you very much for your attendance.
Thank you very much.
