The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2007 which the
Executive Board will submit to the Supervisory Board are expected, in their
final version, to report a consolidated net profit of roughly EUR 140
million. This is an approximately 57 percent increase on the prior year. We
thus significantly exceeded our goal for the 2007 fiscal year to bring
consolidated net profit above the EUR 100 million threshold. The negative
earnings before taxes (EBT) figure which has so far been forecast for the
HOCHTIEF Construction Services Europe division will now come to about EUR
149 million as a result of additional risk provision measures. All other
corporate divisions significantly increased their earnings, thus
contributing to the substantial rise in consolidated net profit.
