Tier 1 Consolidated utility revenue changes and ranking shifts, 2013-2014
Close positions between Suez and Veolia, American Water and Thames Water, have shaped key
ranking shifts among Tier 1 players in 2014.
4
Tier 1 Ranking Shifts 2013-2014
≒ Veolia and Suez, American Water and
Thames Water swapped positions
among the top five in 2014.
≒ Suez drove to the forefront with a 21%
revenue growth in 2014, as it scaled its
international positions via acquisitions
in Chile, Spain, UK and US.
Meanwhile Veolia deleveraged
Germany and Portugal, reporting a 2%
drop in revenues.
≒ Thames Water reported a 14% growth
in revenues mostly owing to continued
price increases, placing it in the fourth
position in ranking overtaking
American Water.
≒ American Water's acquisitions of
several water system assets across
US over the past two years have aided
a 14% revenue growth in 2014, but
failed to improve American Water's
ranking in comparison to Thames
Water.
