Fortune 500 Europe – The largest companies in Europe by revenue | Fortune

Companies are ranked by total revenues for their latest available respective fiscal years. All companies on the list must publish financial data and report part or all of their figures to a government agency. Figures are as reported, and comparisons are with the prior year’s figures as originally reported for that year. Fortune does not restate the prior year’s figures for changes in accounting.

Overview

Revenue figures include consolidated subsidiaries and reported revenues from discontinued operations, but exclude excise taxes. For banks, revenue is the sum of gross interest income and gross noninterest income. For insurance companies, revenue includes premium and annuity income, investment income, realized capital gains or losses, and other income, but excludes deposits.

Revenues

Profits are shown after taxes, extraordinary credits or charges, cumulative effects of accounting changes, and noncontrolling (minority) interests, but before preferred dividends. Figures in parentheses indicate a loss. Profit declines of more than 100% reflect swings from 2023 profits to 2024 losses. Profits for partnerships and cooperatives are reported but are not comparable with those of the other companies on the list because they are not taxed on a comparable basis. Profits for mutual insurance companies are based on statutory accounting. Revenue and profit figures have been converted to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate during each company’s fiscal year (ended Dec. 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted).

Profits

Assets shown are those at the company’s fiscal year-end. Figures have been converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at each company’s fiscal year-end.

Balance Sheet

The figure shown is either a fiscal year-end or yearly average number, as published by the company. Where the breakdown between full and part-time employees is supplied, a part-time employee is counted as one-half of a full-time employee.

Employees

This year’s Fortune 500 Europe was prepared under the direction of Fortune Lists Director Europe Grethe Schepers. Financial statements and annual reports were reviewed by Research Analyst Elena Medina, VP Research Scott DeCarlo, Research Analyst Aris Stavropoulos, and Accounting Specialist Rhona Altschuler. The data verification process was aided substantially by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence and LSEG.&nbsp;
