Interparking: scaling up with purpose after the Saba acquisition

2025 was a landmark year for Interparking: the acquisition of Saba expanded the Group’s scale and European footprint. Solid financial results, continued investment, digitalisation and a fast-growing EV charging network supported the transition. CEO Roland Cracco explained the priorities in an interview with Parking Trend International.

A leading pan-European operator

The acquisition of Saba was approved by the competition authorities without remedies. “The closing of the Saba acquisition has reshaped the Group as a leading pan-European parking and mobility operator,” says Cracco. Consolidated revenue excluding non-recurring items reached 719.9 million euros in 2025 (including Q4 with Saba), an increase of more than 20 per cent on 2024. EBITDA rose by almost 30 per cent to 310.1 million euros. On a full-year combined basis, the enlarged Group is expected to generate close to 1 billion euros in revenue and around 440 million euros in EBITDA.

At the end of 2025, the Group operated around 2,100 sites in 567 cities across 15 countries, managing more than 800,000 parking spaces. Team integration across all countries is complete.

218 million euros invested

Interparking invested more than 218 million euros in 2025. The programme included major construction projects such as the Port of Kołobrzeg car park in Poland and acquisitions including Mazarine in Paris, Brönnerstrasse in Frankfurt, Centro Direzionale in Venice, The Bank in Amsterdam and Lebeau in Brussels‘ Sablon district. Renovations included Garage Europa in Florence and Velázquez in Madrid. Saba continued to invest in strategic locations, notably in Chile, and in partnerships with public transport authorities such as Spain’s railway infrastructure manager Adif – mirroring the joint venture between Interparking’s German subsidiary Contipark and Deutsche Bahn. Going forward, the Group aims to invest 250 million euros a year in new assets.

EV charging and ESG

  • EV charging stations increased by more than 50 per cent to over 9,500
  • GRESB 2025: 97 per cent score and a four-star rating
  • A revised net zero policy for the enlarged Group is in preparation

Financial discipline and outlook

To finance growth, Interparking diversified its funding sources, secured additional financing and maintained extensive interest rate hedging. The goal is an investment-grade credit rating in the short to medium term. “Urban mobility is evolving rapidly, and Interparking aims to stay ahead through durable infrastructure, digital solutions and strong public partnerships,” says Cracco. The focus remains on quality, operational excellence, customer experience, sustainability and innovation.
