VeoliaDeal Evidence / independent capstone

The split depends on what you divide by

Both views are honest. They answer different questions, so we show them side by side.

On revenue, staff take a quarter

The brief’s 25 / 64 / 7 / 1-2 split is FY2024, on revenue. For 2025 staff take , D&A and the parent dividend .

Most of the rest passes straight through to suppliers. It is not value Veolia created.

On value added, staff take two thirds

Remove what passes through and the picture changes: staff , D&A , dividend .

The base is : operating income plus staff plus D&A. This is a first pass, not a published Veolia measure.

The deals barely change the split. They change who funds it: debt rises first and benefits arrive later, which is why leverage sits at on September debt, on our measure.
