The figures have been rounded off using the compensated summation method. Absolute changes are calculated using the rounded values, relative changes (in percent) are derived from the non-rounded values.

Our PORR has had a successful first half of 2022. There was another strong increase in production output: It rose by 10.8% to EUR 2,766m. This delivered an increase in earnings: In comparison to the previous year, EBT rose to EUR 22.1m. The 2.6% higher order backlog of more than eight billion euros remains our stable foundation for the coming years. There is also good news from the market: Material prices are slowly stabilising. What's more, PORR has coped well with the volatile situation in the first half of the year. For us, the early introduction of a new pricing model has paid off, along with the strategy of a selective approach to new contracts.
And we will continue in the same way: We are expanding our permanent business, deepening the value chain and promoting high-margin product areas. We continue to focus on our Green and Lean strategy and our future programme PORR 2025. For example, we are currently rolling out BIM and LEAN across the entire Group and using innovative IT solutions to digitise our supply chain and construction processes. Just a few examples out of many!
We would like to thank you, our stakeholders, for your trust and support. Together with you, we hope that there are many more successes to come.
Vienna, August 2022 Sincerely, The Executive Board

Climate-friendly materials, water-saving sanitary facilities and separate heat meters for efficient monitoring. District heating and cooling as well as a ventilation system with heat recovery. And additionally the interior design by Karim Rashid. This all adds up to make Austria's first prizeotel in Vienna an economy design hotel. As the design-build contractor, PORR used LEAN Construction to work with everyone involved. This enabled the project, which has been awarded "klimaaktiv Gold", to be handed over two months earlier than planned.
The city of Drammen is situated at the mouth of the Drammenselva. More than 40 species of fish live in the river, including salmon. The PORR subsidiary PNC Norge is responsible for removing the bridge above and constructing a new city bridge including a waterfront promenade. Worth around EUR 85m, this project is the largest single contract in the first half of the year. However, to avoid disturbing the salmon that migrate through the river, no work may take place in the water between May and September. The bridge is scheduled for completion in August 2025.
At 65 metres and 18 storeys high, Germany's tallest timber-hybrid tower is being built in Hamburg's HafenCity: The Roots. The solid shell is being realised by PORR Oevermann. The special feature here is a combination of conventional reinforced concrete construction and a timber supporting structure. Around 5,000 cubic metres of softwood are being used for the construction. This will give rise to 181 apartments. This construction method helps to reduce CO2 and minimises dust pollution and noise emissions.
A total of 180,000 tonnes of waste per year can soon be processed in the installation of thermal processing with energy recovery (ITPOE) in Rzeszów, Poland. This is because PORR is building a second processing line of the ITPOE as part of a consortium. The energy obtained from the thermal conversion process will be used to generate electricity and heat. In this way, PORR is making an important contribution to the switch to low-emission plants.
Every day, 16,000 cars pass through the Czech town of Nová Paka. Besides the emissions and noise, there is another problem: Many lorries are too big and too tall for the underpass and narrow roads there, leading to repeated damage. For about 30 years now, the 9,000 residents have wanted a bypass – and now they are about to get one. PORR is building an 8.5-kilometre road from Kumburský Újezd to Vidochov. It will significantly relieve Nová Paka's traffic load and reduce the travel time to the Giant Mountains.
The Schader department store on the banks of Lake Zurich is a heritage-protected building. PORR SUISSE is now sustainably revitalising it for Zürich Versicherungs-Gesellschaft. Down to the primary structure, the deconstruction was carried out in the most resource-conserving way possible, including the reuse of materials. The renovation work, which also includes optimal thermal insulation of the building envelope and a heat pump powered by water from the lake, also has a positive impact on energy consumption.
The PORR 2025 future programme shines a spotlight on PORR's strengths and on efficiency optimisation in the organisation. To secure profitable growth and position itself for the future, PORR is intensifying and accelerating a wide range of measures to adjust cost structures, the organisation and the portfolio. At the same time, growth topics and digital technologies are being promoted in order to safeguard PORR's future viability.

Building is in the nature of humankind. But the way we build is a fundamental decision. And one that was easy for PORR to make. Because sustainability is in our DNA.
Society stands at a crossroads. We can take the seemingly easy path, but with some dangers lurking in the not-too-far distance. Or we can choose what appears to be the less comfortable path with initial challenges. Once these are overcome, we can look forward to a sustainable future. You take responsibility – for yourself, for society, for future generations, for the world. You can be part of the problem or part of the solution. PORR made its decision a long time ago: We are not only going down the sustainable path – we are also building it.
It is indisputable. The world is going through a period of change. Where it is heading depends on which path humanity decides to take. The effects of climate change, urbanisation, digitalisation and pandemics – we face many challenges that require solutions now.
As one of Europe's leading construction companies, PORR is aware of its huge responsibility. We build for generations and shape living environments – with and for people. In doing so, we do not take the easy path, but the right one. Because acting sustainably is an essential part of our social responsibility while simultaneously serving as the foundation of our success. The construction industry requires flexible action that conserves resources and puts the customer first. To achieve this, the needs of every stakeholder must be taken into account. As PORR, we maintain a regular and open dialogue with them. It is only when sustainability is a central aspect along the entire value chain that we can jointly make a positive contribution to a future worth living. This is why not only every PORR employee but also every business partner is obliged to adhere to our Code of Conduct and its economic, ethical-social and environmental standards.

At 836 metres, the Minnevika Bridge is Norway's longest railway bridge.
Green and Lean means we are redefining the way we build. It means we are thinking holistically in terms of circular economy and promoting partnership models. And acting efficiently and transparently. Sustainability is not just a vision for us. It is in PORR's DNA. We want to become the market leader for resource-conscious, circular construction. And we are on the right track. We prioritise the careful use of resources and provide new impetus through our actions. In the previous year, for example, we processed around 400,000 tonnes of construction waste at the Himberg Recycling Centre alone, and this figure is as high as 2.2 million tonnes per year across the whole PORR Group. 1.7 million of this replaces primary raw materials at our own construction sites and facilities.
Intelligent building also means taking responsibility. For the environment, for the future, for the people.
Recycling and the careful use of resources are an integral part of our CO2 -reduction strategy. Concrete becomes recycled concrete and bricks become substrate, which is used for greening roofs. PORR has also developed an innovative processing plant for mineral wool waste, which reduces the volume of mineral wool by up to 80%.
The development towards green building has long been more than that – it has already become a necessity. And PORR is taking the right steps. We design our construction processes to be resource-conscious and we contribute to a sustainable future – above and beyond the legal regulations. PORR offers everything as a one-stop shop along the entire value chain. This allows us to contribute our expertise at every stage of the project and make optimal use of synergies. Additionally, we have rolled out the Green programme and designed measurable and controllable strategies. We are constantly developing climate-friendly innovations and efficient processes.
Intelligent building also means taking responsibility. For the environment, for the future, for the people. Because building is a People Business. And diversity is part of the solution. We provide around 20,000 PORRians with a secure, equal-opportunity and future-oriented working environment. With flexible working time models and individual time-out options, PORR offers a good work-life balance. We focus on sustainable HR development and encourage individual strengths and skills. With our PORR Campus and the PORR Academy, we offer numerous training and education opportunities for all staff members.
In cooperation with our stakeholders, we tackle the complex challenges of our time with courage and commitment. Together we find answers to society's issues. We develop solutions and initiate countermeasures. In this way, we can live corporate responsibility one step at a time. With this, PORR is setting the pace. And paving the way as PORR – Home of Construction. To Build a Better World.

With around 20,000 staff members from approximately 80 nations, diversity is a decisive success factor at PORR.
At the start of the year, stable inflation rates, the recovery of global supply chains and the easing of the pandemic situation initially led to positive momentum across the markets. With the intensification of the Ukraine conflict, volatility on the stock markets reached a peak worldwide at the end of February. Both the renewed sharp rise in inflation and the disruptions in international supply chains increased uncertainty among market participants. At the same time, planned interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) put further pressure on global trading hubs. In spring, declining consumer spending and the first restrictive measures by central banks fuelled fears of an economic slowdown.
In the USA, the Fed took a total of three interest rate steps in the first half of the year and raised the base rate to 1.75%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 15.3% in the reporting period compared to the end of the previous year. The ECB did not raise interest rates in the first six months, although it did end its bond-buying programme. Due to the geographical proximity to the Ukraine conflict and the related energy shortages, the leading Eurozone index EURO STOXX 50 lost 19.6%. The German leading index DAX was similarly affected with a decrease of 19.5%. Due to the strong connection of the Vienna Stock Exchange with the Eastern European market, the Austrian leading index ATX came under greater pressure by comparison and ended the first half of the year down 25.4% against year-end 2021.
In the first few months of the year, the PORR share was unable to escape the difficult market environment as a result of the Ukraine conflict and performed in line with the market as a whole. Accordingly, it reached its year-low of EUR 10.02 on 7 March. However, from April onwards and especially after the publication of the annual results for 2021, it showed an extremely solid development and outperformed the market. On 8 June the PORR share reached its current high for the year of EUR 14.00. The increased uncertainty regarding price development as well as bottlenecks for supplies and energy at the beginning of the summer also affected the PORR share and led to a rise in volatility. The share ended the first half at EUR 12.26, 10.8% below the end of the previous year. As of 30 June, the market capitalisation stood at EUR 481.6m.
The syndicate (Strauss Group, IGO Industries Group) holds the majority of the shares outstanding with 50.4%. An analysis in June 2022 showed that the free float of 49.6% was mainly distributed among Austria (20.3%) and the USA (8.8%). Investors from Great Britain and Germany held around 6.3% and 5.6% of the free float. Around 8.3% of the shares were split among the rest of Europe. 32.2% of the free float shares are held by Retail investors.

Strengthened by the positive momentum from the previous year, the global economy got off to a promising start in 2022. The first quarter in particular developed better than expected. However, with the start of the military conflict in Ukraine, market uncertainty increased drastically. Inflation rose significantly worldwide, necessitating intervention by central banks. Both the American Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) took initial steps to tighten monetary policy. Global economic forecasts were revised downwards to a large extent. The experts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) observed a decline in global economic growth due to factors including the ongoing pandemic in China – with lockdowns of cities and ports. Ongoing disruption to international supply chains and bottlenecks in materials and other resources continue to have a dampening effect. For 2022 as a whole, experts currently forecast global economic output to expand by 3.2%. Higher base rates, persistently strong inflation, which is slowing down consumer spending, and ongoing negative influences from the Ukraine conflict will continue to pose an increased risk to the global economy in the future. The IMF expects the global economy to grow by 2.9% in 2023.
In the USA, the high inflation rates led to a reduction in the purchasing power of private households. In contrast, the Fed has already taken several steps to raise interest rates, which are also burdening consumer spending. Overall, it raised the base rate to 2.5%. As a result, the IMF now estimates growth of 2.3% for the US economy in 2022. For the following year, economic output is expected to expand by 1.0%.
In contrast, the ECB raised the base rate slightly to 0.5% in July to counteract the strong increase in inflation in the Eurozone. The geographical proximity to the Ukraine conflict and the dependence on Russian oil and gas increased the uncertainty on the market. In particular, the further development of the energy sector is likely to be decisive for future economic growth in Europe. Overall, the experts of the European Commission predict GDP growth of 2.6% in 2022. Assuming a resilient labour market, inflation levelling off, and support from the European Recovery and Resilience Facility, they expect economic growth of 1.4% in 2023.
The Austrian economy was unable to escape the global economic downturn from the second quarter onwards. Subdued export demand, higher (raw) material prices, disrupted international supply chains and uncertainties in the energy sector contrasted with a significant recovery in tourism. Due to the strong economic growth in the first quarter, the experts of Austria's national bank (OeNB) have forecast 3.8% growth in economic output in Austria for the current year. For the following year, however, they assume a further slowdown and expect growth of just 1.9%.
The German economy, which is more export-oriented, is coming under even more pressure due to the Ukraine conflict. High uncertainty regarding oil and gas supplies – Germany is heavily dependent on Russian gas, among other commodities – is further burdening the market environment. The European Commission therefore forecasts only low growth in 2022 and 2023. The 1.4% and 1.3% respective growth rates in economic output not only reflect the subdued global economy, but also the lower private purchasing power as a result of high inflation.
The countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe are proving more resilient in the context of the current global downturn. High inflation, supply chain disruptions and uncertainties surrounding energy supply are being counterbalanced by stable private consumption. On average, economic output in PORR's Eastern European home markets is expected to grow by around 2.9% this year. For 2023, the experts at the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies predict average growth of 3.2%.
The European construction industry has proven its resilience in recent years. This positive momentum continued in the first quarter. European construction investments increased by around 6.0%. However, with the outbreak of the military conflict in Ukraine, uncertainty also grew in the construction sector. At present, higher inflation rates, disruptions in international supply chains and a persistent shortage of skilled labour are dampening continously strong growth. In addition, there is a lack of security of supply in the energy sector – although precautions are already being taken in some cases to find alternative energy sources as backup.
The higher interest rate level is reflected in particular in the demand for residential construction. Here the boom phase in incoming orders is slowly coming to an end. Investment activity in civil engineering continues to be supported by the European Recovery and Resilience Facility. Overall, this should result in slower growth in the construction sector in 2022.
The increase in construction costs has seemingly stabilised at a high level in recent months. Although there is still a clear increase compared to the previous year, prices for copper, timber and steel, for example, already fell in June and July versus the previous month. Nevertheless, the high price volatility continues to cause uncertainty.
In PORR's main home markets, the increase in construction costs can largely be passed on to the client. If this is not the case, suitable strategic procurement measures are being implemented in order to counter the cost increase as efficiently as possible.
The indicator production output covers all classic design and construction services, waste management, raw materials sales and facility management, i.e. all significant services rendered by PORR. For companies fully included in the consolidated group, this output broadly corresponds to the revenue defined and reported in accordance with IFRS. In contrast to revenue, production output also includes the output from consortiums and companies accounted for under the equity method, as well as those of minor significance, in line with the interest held by the Group and differences in definitions reconciled pursuant to commercial criteria.
In the first half of 2022, PORR generated production output of EUR 2,766m. Price increases and the segments AT / CH and CEE were the main contributors to the 10.8% rise in output.
The expansion of output in the segment AT / CH to EUR 1,502m was primarily driven by railway and structural engineering as well as the province of Lower Austria. Overall, the segment increased its output by 13.8%.
A slight increase in production output was also recorded in the segment DE, climbing by EUR 18m to EUR 400m. The significantly higher contribution of PORR Oevermann was the main factor here.
The segment PL generated production output of EUR 314m and was thereby 1.6% below the previous year. While the railway engineering unit saw a very positive development, infrastructure construction experienced a decrease.
The production output of CEE rose by 28.1% to stand at EUR 249m. Both building construction and parts of civil engineering in every one of the three home markets integrated here – Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania – contributed to this growth.
The areas of Major Projects, Slab Track International and Golf Cooperation Council (GCC) made a particular contribution to production growth in the segment Infrastructure International. Production output in this segment rose by 9.1% to EUR 261m.
With the home markets accounting for 95.3% of total production output in the first half of 2022, PORR's seven European home markets remain the clear focus. Austria was still the largest market with a share of 46.2%. The second and third-largest home markets were Germany and Poland with 23.6% and 12.1% respectively. The Czech Republic and Slovakia accounted for around 5.7% combined, while Switzerland contributed 4.2% and Romania 3.6%.
As of 30 June, PORR's order backlog reached a new high. With a rise of 2.6%, it totalled EUR 8,049m. Once again, the majority of the operating segments reported significant growth, whereby the CEE segment was a particularly strong contributor. The order intake decreased slightly by 6.9% and stood at EUR 3,046m at the end of the first half. Here too the CEE segment achieved significant growth.
The largest orders received in the first half of the year included several major projects in infrastructure construction. The largest new order is the Drammen Bybrua – the construction of a new city bridge in Norway. PORR also won several major contracts to expand other urban infrastructure, such as the thermal waste processing plant in Rzeszów in Poland, the port in Constanta in Romania and the revitalisation of the Barrandov Bridge in Prague. In the field of building construction, PORR was awarded a number of major contracts in industrial construction – in addition to several large-scale residential and office construction projects in Vienna and Munich. These include the WUM medical simulation centre in Warsaw and the BOE research building in Vienna. PORR was also able to win two important follow-up contracts with the interior works of the VIO Plaza in Vienna and the High Energy Photonics Center of Siemens Healthineers.
The construction industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations typical for the sector. The first half is traditionally weaker than the second and is thereby not necessarily indicative of the full year. This is due to the weaker construction output in the winter months that also affects earnings.
The general market trend of rising costs is also reflected in PORR's financial performance. The revenue increase resulting from the price hikes contrasts with higher prices for purchasing (raw) materials.
In the first half of 2022, PORR's revenue totalled EUR 2,595.9 m. The revenue growth of 13.4% versus the prior-year period was primarily caused by the general price increases in the construction industry. Income from companies accounted for under the equity method rose sharply by 29.7% to EUR 35.9 m. Higher results from consortiums were a key factor here.
Expenses for materials and other related production services rose faster than revenue, by 18.3%. This was primarily caused by the 21.2% rise in material expenses due to the significant price hikes on the procurement market. Expenses for purchased services also climbed by 17.0%, another relatively sharper rise. In contrast, staff costs increased less sharply in relation and grew by 7.8%. The efficiency measures implemented – not least in the course of PORR 2025 – led staff costs as a percentage of revenue to decrease by 1.4 PP.
While other operating income improved by 10.5%, a reduction of 2.3% was achieved in other operating expenses. This was primarily thanks to lower costs for damages and other project-related expenses compared to the previous year.
The overall picture shows that the cost increases of materials and other related production services are broadly reflected in revenue. Therefore the cost have been passed on to customers. In parallel, the disproportionately slow rise in staff costs and absolute savings in other operating expenses led to a significant improvement in EBITDA of 10.3% to EUR 125.8m. Depreciation, amortisation and impairment was at almost the same level as the previous year at EUR 93.7m. EBIT thereby stood at EUR 32.0m and were 51.2% above the previous year's level. The financial result was practically unchanged at EUR -9.9m. This resulted in a significant improvement in EBT to EUR 22.1m (1-6/2021: EUR 11.5m).
After deducting the lower tax result of EUR -6.5m (1-6/2021: EUR -2.8m), PORR generated a profit for the period of EUR 15.6m in the first half of 2022. Compared to the first half of the previous year, this represents an improvement of EUR 7.0m.
As of 30 June 2022, PORR's total assets stood at EUR 4,034.7m. They were thereby broadly the same as at year-end 2021.
The non-current assets showed a significant decrease due to the repayment of the hybrid capital of EUR 25.3m by UBM Development AG. Under current assets, cash and cash equivalents fell by a total of EUR 303.1m because of seasonal factors on the one hand and due to settling financial liabilities and repaying the 2017 hybrid bond on the other.
The repayment of EUR 51.1m of this hybrid bond in February 2022 also led to a reduction in equity. In addition, the first-time application of the amendments to IAS 37 as of 1 January 2022 also reduced other reserves by EUR 22.1m. Overall, equity decreased by 10.0% to EUR 742.1m due to these effects. The equity ratio was 18.4% as of the reporting date.
Seasonal factors as well as the growth in output led to an increase in trade receivables of EUR 213.4m. This was partly offset by the rise in trade payables (EUR +153.8m versus year-end).
Net debt increased due to seasonal factors rising by EUR 263.8m to EUR 198.4m as of 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR -65.m). However, compared to 30 June 2021, this was a reduction of EUR 111.7m.
The improved profit for the period led to higher operating cash flow in the first half of 2022. This rose by 7.4% against the comparable period to EUR 116.6m.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased by EUR 62.9m to EUR -104.2m against the previous period. This is due to in particular the payment of the cartel fine in the second quarter 2022 of EUR 62.4m. Additionally the usual seasonal increase in trade receivables is reflected. As a result of the price and output increases against the previous year, this item underwent a higher increase in the first half of 2022. The rise in inventories is due to both the higher cost level and, in particular, the hedging of (raw) materials.
At EUR -44.5m, cash flow from investing activities fell by almost half compared to the previous year (-44.6%). The reason for this is, on the one hand, slightly lower investment activity in property, plant and equipment and investment property. On the other hand, it is attributable, in particular, to the income from the repayment of hybrid capital by UBM Development AG of EUR 25.3m and other proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and investment property.
Cash flow from financing activities reflects the repayment of hybrid capital totalling EUR 51.1m and the repayment of the bonded loans (Schuldscheindarlehen) of EUR 30.0m as well as settling other financing. There was also a dividend payout in the first half of 2022. This caused cash flow from financing activities to fall below the previous year's level to EUR -155.5m.
As of 30 June 2022, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 461.9m (31 December 2021: EUR 765.0m), which corresponds to an increase of 13.5% against 30 June 2021 and reflects PORR's stable cash base. Taking into account the investment certificates of EUR 38.8m, the cash-like assets (total of cash and cash equivalents and investment certificates) stood at EUR 500.7m and were thereby EUR 53.7m higher than on 30 June 2021.
In the first half of 2022, no major investments were made beyond the usual investments to replace machinery and construction site equipment and to buy new equipment.
Investment activity is measured by applying the CAPEX indicator (capital expenditure). This includes investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and assets under construction including investments financed by leases. CAPEX decreased by EUR 16.7m against the same period of the previous year to EUR 114.2m. This resulted in a CAPEX ratio of 4.1% in relation to production output (1–6/2021: 5.2%).
Effective risk management has long been one of PORR's most important principles when carrying out any economic activity and safeguards its competitive ability. If risks have an impact on one of PORR's business fields or markets, this can have a negative effect on the company's earnings. That is why the aim of risk management is to identify risks as soon as possible and then minimise them while still maintaining the company's earnings potential. Risk management at PORR is aimed at organisational processes and controls that can be used to identify risks at an early stage. Efforts are made to continuously develop and improve countermeasures.
There have been no significant changes to the Group's opportunity and risk profile since the 2021 Annual Report that would lead to a change in the assessment of the risk position for PORR. The description in the Risk Report of the 2021 Annual Report from page 79 onwards thereby remains valid.
In the first half of 2022, PORR employed 20,181 people on average. The 1.9% rise was mainly due to the increase in output.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has forecast global economic growth of 3.2% for the current year. At the same time, economic forecasts have become noticeably gloomier worldwide over the first half of the year. Disruptions in international supply chains, high inflation rates and shortages of (raw) materials are the global consequences of the pandemic, which in some cases is still ongoing, and the continuing Ukraine conflict. Added to this is a tightening of monetary policy by the central banks, which have already taken the first steps to raise interest rates to combat the increased inflation rates.
In the Eurozone, the experts of the European Commission see economic growth of 2.6%. In addition to the geographical proximity to the Ukraine conflict, the European economy is burdened in particular by uncertainty regarding oil and gas supplies. To counter increased inflation, the European Central Bank raised the base interest rate to 0.5%. Further interest rate hikes are expected in the course of the year. The Recovery and Resilience Facility, on the other hand, continues to support the economic recovery after the pandemic.
The EU's financial resources are continuously providing positive impetus in the construction sector as well. This has led to stable demand, especially in infrastructure construction – which is largely independent of the increased interest rate environment. In addition to the megatrends of mobility and digitalisation, the long-term EU budget together with NextGenerationEU addresses sustainability with the European Green Deal in particular. The energy transition is also playing a key role in the transformation to a net-zero Europe: Here, PORR provides expertise in power plant construction, geothermal plants, a patent for the construction of foundations for wind power plants, and know-how in refurbishment and revitalisation. Significantly higher inflation rates and the ongoing pandemic underline the need for affordable housing and the growing demand for healthcare facilities. Urbanisation and health are thereby two more long-term megatrends in the construction sector.
In the short term, the construction industry faces numerous sources of uncertainty. The conflict in Ukraine continues to affect international supply chains. However, thanks to optimised warehousing and efficient procurement management, PORR is currently not affected by any construction site stoppages. Alternative strategies are being developed with regard to energy supply. Due to the low use of gas-powered equipment, natural gas plays a subordinate role on the construction sites and at the majority of PORR branches. At sites with asphalt mixing plants, a switch to alternative energy sources is being made, based on the technical options in each case.
The prices of raw materials, construction materials and other materials have reached new highs in recent months. However, the situation seems to be stabilising. The rises, which were still very pronounced in spring, have recently slowed down. PORR is pursuing a consistent bid management policy: Since the start of the sharp price increases, the PORR pricing model has been adapted accordingly. This largely allows the increased costs of materials and other resources to be passed on to the client. This has resulted in an improved order portfolio from a risk and margin perspective.
Labour shortages on the market are still apparent. PORR is countering this in the long term with flexible working models, the PORR Education Campus and attractive further training and career opportunities.
Based on the current performance in the first half of 2022, the Executive Board expects production output of EUR 5.7 bn to EUR 5.9 bn for the 2022 business year. Despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding price and cost developments and in relation to international supply chains, the Executive Board expects an improvement in earnings versus the previous year. In the medium term, the Executive Board continues to strive for a target EBT margin at Group level of 3.0% by 2025. The consistent continuation of the PORR 2025 future programme and the focus on selective, intelligent growth support the goal of sustainable profitability. Positive effects are expected from consistent acquisition and risk management, the continuous optimisation of construction processes and advancing digitalisation through BIM and LEAN.
The assessment of how the business will perform is based on the current targets in the individual segments as well as the opportunities and risks arising in the respective markets. The future development of the Ukraine conflict and its consequences and intensification cannot be estimated at present. This is accompanied by increased uncertainty in connection with gas deliveries from Russia and the energy supply that depends on them. This means, potential significant increases in energy and construction material prices cannot be ruled out. Any assessment of economic performance is therefore subject to forecasting risks.

The segment AT / CH covers the entire country-level responsibility for the two home markets of Austria and Switzerland. Here PORR is represented with its full range of services. In addition to this permanent business – with the focal points of residential construction, office construction and road construction – come the national competencies in railway engineering, structural engineering, specialist civil engineering and environmental engineering. The areas of large-scale building construction projects, German industrial construction and Slab Track Austria for Europe are also housed here. In addition, equity interests such as IAT, ÖBA – Österreichische Betondecken, Prajo, TKDZ, and ALU-SOMMER have also been integrated into segment AT / CH.
In the first half of 2022, the production output of the segment AT / CH totalled EUR 1,502m and was thereby 13.8% higher than the comparable period of the previous year. The area of railway construction and structural engineering in particular managed to achieve significant growth with Slab Track Austria in Europe – including new Green and Lean projects. In Lower Austria, building construction in particular contributed to the positive development. EBT of the AT / CH segment grew by 46.8% to EUR 21.5m. In addition to the growth in output, this rise was mainly driven by an improvement in results in the operating business.
The order backlog of the AT / CH segment amounted to EUR 3,329m as of the reporting date and was thereby 5.0% above the same date of the previous year. The increase was mainly generated by the area of major projects in building construction. The order intake decreased by 8.8% to EUR 1,676m as a result of the comparatively high value of the previous year, which included several major building construction projects. The focus in both countries in the AT / CH segment remains on selective growth. In addition to Stadtstraße in Vienna, in this segment PORR won several major projects in motorway construction such as the general overhaul of the A9 near Trieben with a total of nine bridges and building an underpass on the S7 near Königsdorf. In building construction, the AT / CH segment acquired several major projects in residential, office and industrial construction in Vienna such as the residential complex Podhagskygasse, lot B, as well as the Florido Liner office building, and interior works for the VIO Plaza. The latter is one of two follow-up contracts in building construction.
The international framework conditions of the Austrian and Swiss construction industry have worsened considerably in the first half of 2022. After a short-term easing of the steady price rises for (raw) materials in winter, the upward momentum accelerated again from the first quarter onwards. A slight easing has been visible since early summer, as the monthly price rises slowed down. In some cases, June even saw a decline against the previous month, such as in Austrian bridge construction and in residential and housing construction. It was partly possible to pass the increased construction costs on to clients. In parallel to this development, the rising interest rate level is causing a slowdown in the strong growth of recent years. The demand pressure in residential construction is slowly decreasing, thereby putting the brakes on significant price increases. In contrast, civil engineering continues to be robust – not least due to the fixed investment programmes of public clients.
The Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) expects construction investments to grow by 1.1% year-on-year in 2022. For the following years, the experts forecast a similar trend. At the same time, they expect the current bottlenecks in the international supply chains to subside, which should also further weaken the prevailing high price hikes. Increased energy costs, both in Austria and Switzerland, have led to a rise in investments in energy-efficient renovation and refurbishment.

The majority of PORR's activities in Germany are bundled in the segment DE. On its second largest market, the company offers building construction, specialist civil engineering and infrastructure services provided by highly qualified experts employed by the company to facilitate high levels of in-depth value creation. PORR has a strong position on the German infrastructure market with its discrete areas of structural engineering, tunnelling, and traffic route construction. Furthermore the segment DE is home to German equity interests including PORR Oevermann and Stump-Franki Spezialtiefbau. This allows PORR to cover the entire value chain in specialist civil engineering.
In the first half of 2022, the production output of the DE segment reached EUR 400m and was thereby 4.7% higher than the previous year. A key factor here was building construction by PORR Oevermann, which had several major projects in the construction phase. With its risk reduction in structural engineering, the DE segment achieved a slight improvement in its EBT. That said, it continues to be hampered by old projects that are coming to an end and totalled EUR -6.3m.
The order backlog of the DE segment slipped back by 6.1% to EUR 1,122m. This mainly resulted from finalising a major project in structural engineering. PORR's focus regarding the order books continues to be on mitigating risk – including by reducing the area of structural engineering. The strong completion rate of major projects in building construction by PORR Oevermann also contributed to the decrease. The order intake reached EUR 294m and was thereby 35.5% below the previous year. The high value used as a comparison included numerous major projects in building construction. Building construction in the East Region in particular is currently facilitating a selective approach to new contracts thanks to the fully utilised capacities. In addition to the new build and conversion of the residential and commercial building Alte Akademie in Munich, PORR is also responsible for the shell construction of a building in Hamburg's Überseequartier. In industrial construction, the DE segment acquired a project to build an aircraft hangar for Airbus.
In Germany, the high level of construction activity at the start of the year was an important driver of general economic growth in the first quarter. However, uncertainty grew as the conflict in Ukraine intensified. The producer price index for commercial products increased by 14.2% in the year to the end of June. Nevertheless, construction activity and new orders remain at a high level. The experts of the Hauptverband der deutschen Bauindustrie (HDB) have forecast a largely stable revenue trend for 2022 as a whole.
Currently, the HDB expects the only slowdown in new orders in 2022 to be in public-sector construction. In residential construction, the tighter monetary policy of the central banks presents an additional burden. On the other hand, demand for affordable housing continues to be strong and is also being addressed by the federal government. The experts therefore do not see any impact on incoming orders before 2023. A structural change is currently taking place in commercial building construction – irrespective of the development of costs and interest rates: While trade, warehouse and co-working space is in demand, the need for retail space is declining. In civil engineering, the government's investment subsidies in particular – EUR 8.2 bn for Deutsche Bahn and EUR 18.3 bn for federal transport routes – are supporting sustained demand for PORR's competencies.

The segment PL holds complete responsibility for Poland, PORR's third largest home market. All Polish equity interests held by PORR are included in this segment. In civil engineering PORR is one of the leading providers in the fields of road, infrastructure and railway construction, as well as specialist civil engineering. In building construction, the focus is on office, industrial and hotel construction as well as on buildings and facilities for the public sector.
In the first half of 2022, the PL segment generated production output of EUR 314m and was thereby slightly below the value of the previous year with a decline of 1.6%. While multiple major projects were completed in infrastructure construction, especially in the north of Poland, which had a negative impact on output, the area of railway construction performed well. The PL segment generated EBT of EUR 7.6m. The railway construction business in particular contributed to this 85.5% improvement.
The order backlog shrank by 14.1% to EUR 1,459m, although it still covers twice the annual output of the PL segment. The decrease resulted in particular from finalising several major projects in infrastructure and railway construction. The order intake decreased by 18.6% to EUR 304m. The approach to accepting new contracts and participating in bids has been highly selective. Irrespective of this, the decline in new orders can be attributed in particular to the building construction sector – and not least to client restraint because of cost increases. PORR's largest incoming orders include the design & build contract for part of the Medical Simulation Center at the University of Warsaw. In addition, the PL segment was commissioned with the construction of a thermal waste treatment plant including energy recovery in Rzeszów – fully in line with circular economy principles.
The Polish economy proved very resilient with regard to the Ukraine conflict. On the one hand, a temporary improvement in the availability of building materials and supplies at the beginning of the year made it possible to replenish suppliers' stocks. This is now contributing to the continuous processing of construction projects. On the other hand, Poland – unlike Germany and Austria – is less dependent on Russian energy supplies. In fact, the complete phase-out of Russian gas is planned for the end of the year. To this end, LNG terminals and pipelines are currently being built – also with PORR as contractor – which in turn is driving demand in pipeline construction. With the final approval of the national reconstruction plan by the European Commission, demand in infrastructure construction is expected to remain high in the future. In building construction – which accounts for a much smaller share of total construction volume in Poland than in Western Europe – the increase in the number of building permits issued in recent years provides a solid basis.
In response to rising inflation rates for (raw) materials, a higher percentage for indexing construction contracts was recently approved by the government. In contrast, the price index for construction and production rose by 7.9% over the course of the year.

The segment CEE focuses on the home markets of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. The local equity interests are integrated here as well. Here PORR offers construction services in building construction and civil engineering, whereby the goal is to provide complete coverage of permanent business in the Czech Republic and Romania. Selected major projects in the infrastructure sector are also undertaken.
The output of the CEE segment rose in the first half of 2022 by 28.1% to EUR 249m. One major project in Romania road construction and one in Romanian railway construction were the main drivers of this increase. In the Czech Republic, both building construction and civil engineering saw positive momentum. The CEE segment generated positive earnings of EUR 0.2m and its performance is thereby in line with planning.
At the end of the reporting period, the order backlog of the CEE segment stood at EUR 904m and was thereby 29.3% higher than the comparable period. This was the result of a significant follow-up contract in Romanian road construction. The order intake increased by more than half to EUR 393m. The EUR 139m increase mainly came from Romania, although the Czech Republic and Slovakia also reported noticeable growth. In the first half of the year, major contracts were won in the infrastructure sector in all three home markets. In the Czech Republic, PORR is responsible for the Nová Paka bypass and the renovation of the Barrandov Bridge in Prague. In Romania, it acquired orders including the modernisation and expansion of the port of Constanța and the revitalisation of the public transport infrastructure in Reșița. PORR is also involved in the construction of the Višňové tunnel in the north of Slovakia.
The construction industry in the CEE countries also got off to a positive start to the year in the first quarter. However, with the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, uncertainties in the market intensified here as well. The rapid rise in the cost of (raw) materials could be observed in all three of PORR's home markets. This is being accompanied on the one hand by the lack of skilled labour and construction materials due to the geographical proximity to Ukraine. Interruptions to international supply chains are also adding to the stressful situation. PORR is countering this with long-term supplier relationships and an optimised procurement strategy. On the other hand, the decline in foreign direct investment is dampening demand.
Despite continuing uncertainty in connection with the Ukraine conflict, experts still expect growth in PORR's home markets. In building construction – in addition to residential construction, which remains stable – growth is expected in healthcare and education construction. In the proportionally larger civil engineering segment, the focus is on road and railway construction projects. In addition to investment programmes by national public clients, infrastructure construction is boosted in particular by the European Recovery and Resilience Facility. Accordingly, the expansion of energy and transport infrastructure is a priority in every country.

The segment Infrastructure International is home to PORR's expertise in international tunnelling, railway construction and specialist civil engineering as well as Slab Track International. The area of Major Projects and the responsibility for the project markets of Norway, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are also integrated here. In this area, PORR focuses on contracts in infrastructure construction and on cooperation with local partners. The PORR export products are offered from here for the international markets in a highly selective way and only when there is clear value added.
In the reporting period, the Infrastructure International segment generated production output of EUR 261m. In addition to the area of Major Projects and Slab Track International, the growth was also due to a slight increase in output in the GCC region. The Infrastructure International segment once again generated positive EBT of EUR 1.3m, whereby tunnelling was a particular contributor to this increase.
The order backlog rose by 11.6% and totalled EUR 1,131m as of the reporting date. A key project in the area of Major Projects and Slab Track International was a huge contributor to this growth. The order intake in the first half of the year stood at EUR 312m. The decrease is due to the comparatively high value from the previous year because of a tunnelling project. The largest new order in the Infrastructure International segment is the construction of the Drammen Bybrua, a new city bridge in Norway.
Uncertainty on the global market intensified significantly with the military escalation of the Ukraine conflict. PORR's project markets have also been affected by this development. Higher inflation rates are currently leading not only to an increase in construction costs but also to a rise in interest rates. This can also have an impact on demand in the construction business.
In its project markets, PORR focuses on civil engineering, which is less dependent on economic cycles. Nevertheless, there have been significant cost increases, interruptions to international supply chains, and a continuing shortage of skilled workers. In Norway, demand is expected to remain stable due to the 2022- 2033 National Transport Plan. In Qatar and the UAE, PORR has reduced risks in the project portfolio and is now benefiting from regular demand in public transport.
In tunnelling as well as in the area of Major Projects and Slab Track International, there is still strong potential in the form of the Trans-European TEN-T rail network. This, together with the financing secured through the multiannual EU budget, ensures positive ongoing momentum. Emerging opportunities will be pursued here on the international markets after careful risk analysis and only if there is clear value added.

The PORR Group consists of PORR AG and its subsidiaries, hereafter referred to as the "Group". PORR AG is a public limited company according to Austrian law and has its registered head office at Absberggasse 47, 1100 Vienna. The company is registered with the Commercial Court of Vienna under reference number FN 34853f. The Group's main activities are project planning and execution of construction works of every kind.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the PORR Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union, the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the standards to be applied for the first time from 1 January 2022. The effects of the first-time application of the new standards are presented in note 3.
In accordance with IAS 34, the interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required in the annual financial statements. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the PORR Group as of 31 December 2021. In accordance with IAS 34, the consolidated results of the interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the annual result.
The reporting currency is the euro, which is also the functional currency of PORR AG and of the majority of the subsidiaries included in these interim consolidated financial statements.
In these interim financial statements, the following two companies have been fully consolidated for the first time:
| Due to first-time consolidation | Date of initial consolidation |
|---|---|
| PORR Stahl- und Systembau GmbH & Co KG | 1.1.2022 |
No significant assets or liabilities were included as a result of this consolidation.
| Due to new foundations | Date of initial consolidation |
|
|---|---|---|
| JV PORR - TM.E. | 25.5.2022 |
No significant assets or liabilities were included as a result of this consolidation.
One company underwent a merger.
A total of 52 (previous year: 51) domestic and 37 (previous year: 39) foreign associates and joint ventures were included under application of the equity method.
The accounting policies and measurement methods applied in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2021, which are presented in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements, have been applied unchanged to the interim consolidated financial statements. The exception being the following standards and interpretations applied for the first time, whereby only the firsttime application of the amendments to IAS 37 had a material impact on the Group.
| New standard or amendment | Date of publication by IASB |
Date of adoption into EU law |
Date of initial application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3 Reference to the 2018 Conceptual Framework | 14.5.2020 | 28.6.2021 | 1.1.2022 |

The amendments specify that the "cost of fulfilling" a contract comprises the "costs that relate directly to the contract". Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (e.g. direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (e.g. the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
The following table shows the effect of the first-time application of IAS 37 on the items of the consolidated statement of financial positions as of 1 January 2022.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2022 use the same consolidation methods and basis for currency exchange as were used in the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2021.
Producing interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount and disclosure of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position, income and expense, as well as entries regarding contingent liabilities in the interim report. Actual results may deviate from these estimates.
In comparison to other industry sectors, the construction industry experiences seasonal variations with regard to revenue and profit due to weather-related factors. Revenue and profit are, as a rule, lower in the winter months than in the summer months. As a result of the fixed costs that exist, earnings are lower in the first half of the year than in the second. These seasonal fluctuations are less pronounced in building construction than in civil engineering and road construction.
There were no COVID-19-related restrictions on rendering services in the first half of 2022. A further TEUR 106 of fixed cost subsidies were recognised in Austria as of 30 June 2022. Due to the Austrian Quarantine Ordinance, TEUR 734 was reimbursed along with TEUR 1,006 for in-company testing. Of the investment premiums applied for in Austria, TEUR 74 was paid out as of 30 June 2022.
PORR has no companies, projects or other significant economic activities in Russia or Ukraine. The Ukraine conflict has therefore only had an indirect effect on PORR's net assets and financial position to date, which mostly reflects the sharp rise in energy and commodity prices within a very short period. The material price risk is mostly mitigated by medium and long-term framework agreements with key suppliers and price adjustment clauses with customers. As far as energy procurement is concerned, a procurement mix of price fixing or weekly exchange prices is chosen depending on the situation, which minimises and diversifies price volatility and risk. Procurement management counteracts possible supply bottlenecks in the supply chains due to the Ukraine crisis through forward-looking and diversified procurement strategies, which is why no (raw) material-related restrictions have occurred in construction operations to date.
