FINANCIAL RESULTS " The results for the first nine months of 2021 confirmed we have returned to pre - pandemic levels , " commented Chief Executive Officer Valerio Battista . " The recovery was positive across all businesses at a global level , with signs of further improvement in the third quarter . In particular , the Energy segment continued to show resilience and good recovery capacity . Telecom improved as well , driven by the demand recovery , chiefly in the USA , and by a better demand - supply balance in China . Projects resumed positive organic growth , with projections for a strong recovery in the fourth quarter . The strong organic sales growth was accompanied by a marked increase in Adjusted EBITDA and an improvement of margins , achieved also thanks to our customer focus and operating efficiencies that limited the impact of the increase in raw material prices and shipping costs . The recent mega projects in the United States have brought the total value of projects acquired year - to - date to € 2.3 billion , confirming the leading role our Group is playing in the energy infrastructure development and upgrade plans . Although we confirm the prudence inherent in our management approach , I am confident we will be able to achieve the high end of the Adjusted EBITDA target range ( € 920 million- € 970 million ) set for FY 2021 " . 1 Excluding the Projects segment . 2 + 10.0 % including the Projects segment .
