After two years in substantial break-even, the ATM Group closed the year 2024 with a profit of EUR 5.8 million, while the parent company ATM S.p.A. recorded a profit of EUR 3.1 million, demonstrating the validity of the initiatives and strategies implemented in recent years.
The implementation of the Strategic Business Plan 2021-2025 continued according to plan, with a steady development of all initiatives.
On the front of business expansion, ATM officially announced the opening of a branch in France, “ATM France”, continuing to participate in tenders for the awarding of public transport service contracts in the region, some of which to be awarded starting in 2025. In parallel, the company took part in further national and international tenders. In August, ATM took over the management of the historic Argegno-Pigra funicular railway, consolidating its expertise in the management of cableway installations.
The company continued to implement the other initiatives of the Strategic Plan, with a particular focus on digitisation.
The development of the People and Culture pillar is also progressing on schedule, confirming ATM's commitment to the development of its people. In 2024, the ATM Job Tour was also launched, an initiative to promote the company in the territory and to directly search for key figures, such as drivers, maintenance workers, technicians and engineers, who are essential for the expansion of the public transport service.
Despite the structural shortage of key profiles in the sector, such as drivers, maintenance workers and engineers, and the increasing difficulty in finding adequate economic resources to cover the higher costs, ATM continues to work to guarantee the best possible service to citizens, optimising available resources and keeping in line with the shareholder's strategy.
