By generations. For generations.
Construction is our past and our future. Technological expertise and entrepreneurial foresight have made PORR what it is today. We want to be ahead of our time. Our glance to the past is inevitably coupled with a look forward. We constantly challenge the limits of what is feasible. And the result? Unique building.master.pieces. that inspire. And have been doing so for 150 years.
No two encounters with them are ever the same. Our large-scale projects have shaped entire eras. They are part of our lives. They shape worlds of homes and work for generations. They offer countless perspectives. These master.pieces. form a long bridge to the future.
PORR made a key contribution to Vienna's picturesque cityscape with the construction of Palais Ephrussi in 1873. Palais Hansen and Palais Eschenbach, completed in 1872, are also works by PORR. Architect and city planner Theophil Hansen influenced the shape of the city like almost no other. Even today, almost 150 years later, his splendid buildings enchant observers with their form and functionality.
Emperor Franz Joseph laid the foundation stone for the Vienna Technical Museum in 1909. This building project was a milestone in the development of the recently founded construction company A. Porr Betonbau-Unternehmung. It used the reinforced concrete method developed by Arthur Porr. The size of this project alone put everything that had come before in the shade.
In the 1920s PORR secured the base for the Karl Marx Hof in Vienna with 8,000 foundation piles. The project stood as a model of modern housing construction. As the longest single residential building in the world (1.1km), around 3,000 people still call it home today. In 1911 Construction Director Ottokar Stern was awarded the patent for the express piles he had developed.
In 1930 PORR built its own office building in Vienna at Operngasse 11. Two years later, the "Zum Römertor" building in Rotenturmstraße was the first welded steel structure in Vienna to be built on a very narrow plot. With their uncompromising, strictly geometric facades, both buildings stand as a symbol of the city's new self-confidence.
The construction of the Großglockner High Alpine Road is considered a pioneering project of the interwar years. It presented both man and machine with enormous challenges. Construction machinery had to be transported to heights of up to 2,600 metres and the route was blasted using explosives. 2,300 engineers and workers facilitated the celebratory opening in August 1935.
Even today the Ringturm catches the eye as a phenomenal PORR project. With its 21 storeys – a spectacular number at the time – it was Vienna's second-highest building after St. Stephen's Cathedral. The 93m-high Ringturm stood as a symbol of the reconstruction of the city and its opening in 1955 was greeted with astonishment and comparisons with the USA.
1869, the year in which PORR was founded, was also the year the Vienna State Opera was built. It was opened by Empress Elisabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph to great celebration. An aerial attack caused the building to go up in flames in 1945, leaving it almost completely destroyed except for the main facade and stairwell. PORR was entrusted with its restoration and modernisation, completed in 1955.
The River Danube, Austria's lifeline, was turned into an energy supplier in the 1950s. This started with the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant in 1959. To make the pits waterproof, sheet piles were driven into the riverbed over many weeks. Only then could the actual work begin. Its extensive expertise has led PORR to be involved in building all power plants on the Danube in Austria ever since.
With a width of 100m, the large Festspielhaus in Salzburg is one of the biggest concert halls in the world. Around 55,000m³ of rock had to be removed from the Mönchsberg mountain for this spectacular construction project in order to make way for the festival hall.
PORR's pioneering spirit was in demand on the construction of the Tauern Tunnel in 1971. The NATM was used on an impressive length of 6.4km. Never before had Austria seen a project of comparable dimensions. The NATM went on to experience international acclaim and revolutionise civil engineering across the globe.
Haas Haus was named after its first builder Philipp Haas, a carpet salesman who needed a department store. The original building was destroyed during World War II and in 1990 the existing new build also had to make way for a daring glass structure with prominent bay windows.
Demand for the revolutionary Slab Track Austria system – an elastically supported slab track developed together with the Austrian Railways (ÖBB) in the 1980s – is growing exponentially. The system has been the standard system on ballastless tracks in Austria since 1995 and is now in use internationally. In addition to "Stuttgart 21" and Lehrter Station in Berlin, the system is found on the entire metro network in Doha.
Vienna Central Station is one of the most cutting edge hubs for regional and international transport in Europe and a central junction on the trans-European rail network. This superlative construction project was realised from 2009 to 2015. Up to 700 people and more than 100 pieces of construction equipment were in use simultaneously on what is Austria's largest infrastructure building site to date.
On the office project BMW München Freimann, the predetermined milestones were met thanks to LEAN Design & Construction, which involved the developers and project partners and reduced the construction period by six months. The use of Building Information Modeling was not only standard practice internally, but specifically requested by the developer.
They number around 20,000, the hidden champions of PORR. They build with passion. Their knowledge, their ideas and their drive allow them to shape worlds. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is the basis of the corporate culture that unites us all. With this attitude our master.builders. are often ahead of their time. And that's just as it should be.
"Digitalisation has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. This has proved an exceptional tool on the BMW Freimann project in terms of communication with the developers. PORR is positioned as a trailblazer here in every respect."
Katrin Pichler, Sectional Construction Manager BMW Freimann (DE)
"Successfully realising a construction project is only possible in a team. Together with PORR Design & Engineering and PORR Grundbau we were able to complete this new-build bridge on time and on schedule."
Bernhard Jesner, Construction Manager New-Build Bridge A99 (DE)
"We are proud to realise this project as PORR pioneers in Great Britain. And we are thereby establishing critical connections for the British gas grid."
Ferenc Lavicska, Mechanical Engineer Pipeline Tunnel Humber Crossing (GB)
"The demolition of the old building also required great dexterity and zeal. Especially as the new building in the direct vicinity is already operational."
Sophie Gunzl, Construction Manager LK Mödling (AT)
"Teamwork is a crucial factor for us. Standing shoulder to shoulder with colleagues also enables us to realise the most demanding works."
Philipp Hirzer, Construction Manager Track Construction Deutsche Bahn (DE)
"Knowledge transfer and exchanging experience are of incalculable value for efficient project execution. They will ensure customer satisfaction for another 150 years."
Sanja Rimac-Kecman, Architect Campus Berresgasse (AT)
"As an apprentice, it is particularly encouraging to get recognition from your colleagues on the construction site. I'm especially benefiting from the positive atmosphere on the ground."

New worlds of work. New perspectives. New paths.
We are basically the ultimate all-rounder when it comes to construction. Our work knows no bounds in terms of geography or expertise. Whether it's building construction, civil engineering, environmental technology, design & engineering, railway construction or tunnelling – we are the driving force from the concept through to the build. After all, we are just as multifaceted as our building.works.
The residential complex in the Munich district of Au is being designed and built with LEAN. A tight schedule will see PORR build around 300 apartments by 2021.
In German Kahla, the production site of Griesson - de Beukelaer, PORR is building a new production facility. The existing production and logistics capacities of the biscuit manufacturer will thereby be expanded from the end of 2019.
Set for completion in 2020, PORR is building Austria's longest railway tunnel in the form of lot 3 of the Koralm Tunnel in Deutschlandsberg measuring 32.9km. The variations in geology call for the use of complex construction methods.
In Basel PORR is building a modern headquarters for the Baloise Group, one of Switzerland's largest insurance companies, to be ready in 2020. In addition, an educational centre will be housed in the basements of the three-part building ensemble.
The Al-Wakrah Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. Its architecture makes a striking impression and will offer space for around 40,000 passionate football fans. Completion is planned for 2019.
PORR is realising the two office buildings at Europaallee in Zurich, which will blend into the new city quarter. Striking fronts mark its entrance. From 2019 Google will establish the largest research centre outside of the USA here.
As far back as 1945 Allgemeine Baugesellschaft – A. Porr AG was involved in the restoration of the Austrian Parliament. The more than 130-year-old, heritage-protected building is now undergoing a complete overhaul by 2021. An extension is also being added to the Parliament building in order to create more areas that are open to the public.
The 654m-long Varodd Bridge goes over the Topdals Fjord and will be finished by 2020. The fjord overpass is being built between two existing bridge structures. The competencies and excellent reputation of PORR formed the basis for the tender award.
As part of the Polish construction project LK 4 Central Railway Line, PORR is realising four railway projects by the end of 2019 – including the conversion of transfer points and extensive track work. LK 4 links the Greater Warsaw area to the south of Poland.
The technically demanding section Stuttgart-Ulm includes the Steinbühl Tunnel and the Boßler Tunnel. Completion is planned for 2019. As part of this significant infrastructure project, which will connect Paris to Budapest, the railway line should eliminate previous bottlenecks.
In the Polish region of Masovia PORR is building a section of the S7, which will connect the major cities of Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow. The topography calls for complex constructions and the application of innovative new technologies. The prevailing weather conditions, strong rain and stormy gusts demand maximum resilience.
The Deep Tunnel Storm Water System carries groundwater and rain water out to a pumping station on the sea. Once it is completed in 2020, around 40% of the urban area of Dubai will be drained by the tunnel system.
Until the first quarter of 2019 PORR has been realising the research centre "Large-Scale Cell Culture" for Boehringer Ingelheim. Construction work on the project involves both specialised civil engineering and building the research facility.
We live in a highly networked world. Smart mobility is on the rise. When machinery, materials and processes link up, a new construction era dawns. With intuitive solutions and 360-degree vision, PORR is developing the trends of tomorrow today. And thereby opening up new paths towards an exciting future.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a method under which a consistent data model of the structure is produced. BIM displays every specialist plan, construction phase and construction stage. From design and calculation through to the build and interior construction, on to operating properties and sites across their entire life cycle. Even complex projects immediately become more tangible and easier to understand, primarily thanks to the 3D model. Developers in particular benefit from this. We already use BIM proactively and are continuously reinventing construction processes.
PORR accompanies construction projects from the development through to the design and then build using LEAN design and LEAN construction methods. This enables us to increase our efficiency and productivity, improve communication in the project and add even more value for our clients. The decisive factor is the transformation into a streamlined or LEAN company. To this end, a shift in the corporate culture with values such as transparency, communication and continuous improvement provide a basis for us to remain one of the construction industry's top players in a future that is increasingly going digital.
Augmented Reality brings the as-yet-undeveloped outdoor facilities to life.

LEAN analyses and optimises work steps ahead of time.
The 3D model shows construction progress on the Al-Wakrah Stadium. The completed stadium then appears on screen.
The Virtual-Reality glasses let us experience places that have not yet been developed, so close you can almost touch them.
Virtual reality takes us to a location that has not yet been built up, for example in a still-to-be-constructed building. This approach means that mistakes can be identified already in the design process, thereby saving real costs and time. Augmented Reality allows additions to be made to reality with digital information, e.g. building services and technology, for example, and construction components that are not yet complete. The invisible becomes visible and takes our understanding of the environment to a brand new level.
A rapid transformation is also underway in the back office: processes related to PORR's administrative work are being standardised step by step before finally being embedded in process automation software. This yields a better overview of processes, greater transparency, increased process speed and lower costs.
The days of the manual aluminium board with embossed equipment numbers are numbered. In future PORR will rely on QR codes that can be scanned via an app. The digital equipment log book is a transparent way of displaying information, increases safety and reduces operating costs as well as those for repairs and maintenance. The PORR equipment-service solution has been nominated for an SAP Innovation Award.
In road surfacing works there is a central software tool to facilitate networked planning and execution. Central control is managed via an app – any changes can be applied as quickly as possible. This in turn facilitates real-time information and higher quality documentation. KPIs such as loading capacity, construction time and construction output can be controlled efficiently. This allows deviations to be kept to an absolute minimum on the construction site.
Linked-up road construction and paving provides real-time info at the construction site and elsewhere.

Digital advances in earthworks range from design to build through to documentation. BIM facilitates precise quantity surveys via 3D models of the terrain. This enables logistics routes to be optimally coordinated. Here Augmented Reality brings the underground infrastructure to life. The construction vehicle on the building site is linked up to the surveying technology, thereby yielding an optimum performance.
Digital tools are becoming ever more important in the design and control of construction sites. New apps such as Plan Radar, which makes it easy to report deficits and remarks, or the Weather Cockpit, offering precise weather forecasts, are just two of the programmes from the IT specialists at PORR.
With our apps we are always linked up, wherever we may be.
Coming home. Shaping the future in the office. Walking down the street. Standing on a bridge. Taking the train. PORR is always there.
As part of a consortium, PORR is awarded the largest tunnelling contract in Austrian history in August 2018. The approximately 18km-long section of the Brenner Base Tunnel poses an exceptional challenge for the civil engineers due to the variable geological conditions. The construction period is around six years. With a pro rata project volume of EUR 531m, the Brenner Base Tunnel is the largest new order for the year 2018.
As an infrastructure specialist, PORR is awarded numerous large-scale orders in road construction in 2018. In addition, it acquires a hydraulic engineering project in the form of building a flood retention basin in the river basin of Nysa Kłodzka, as well as several contracts to modernise railway lines. The year's largest new order in Poland is the 16km-long section of the S3 expressway between Bolków and Kamienna Góra. The contract is worth EUR 290m.
PORR continues to expand its market position with two strategic acquisitions: the takeover of Tunnel- & Traffic Consulting GmbH – now PORR Infra GmbH – in February expands the service range in tunnel and traffic technology. With the acquisition of ALPINE Bau CZ a.s., PORR strengthens its market position on the Czech home market and secures important strategic advantages, especially in road construction.
The foundation stone of the PORR Education Campus is laid in autumn. From September 2019 courses are held here for apprentices and commercial specialists. The PORR education concept is a unique pilot project and should encourage skilled workers to remain with the Group. This will counteract the acute shortage of skilled labour long-term.
As the first major order of the year, PORR builds an accelerator complex for advanced physics research. A research centre is taking shape on an area of around 150,000m2 , the construction of which requires maximum expertise in building construction and civil engineering. At the heart of the new facility is a 1.1km ring accelerator. In addition, PORR acquires the tender to build the production facility of Griesson - de Beukelaer in Kahla.
In February PORR Suisse secures the large-scale contract for the Franklin Tower at the Zurich station Oerlikon – a new urban development hotspot. The company is building an 80m-high office tower with a total of 25 storeys. In Viennese building construction, PORR wins the tender for the QBC 1 + 2 offices, which are taking shape in the trendy new quarter of Vienna Central Station – Quartier Belvedere Central. The complex consists of three eight-storey buildings; the existing underground garage will be extended.
Residential construction is booming. Numerous housing construction projects in Vienna, Munich and Berlin enter the order books in 2018. More than 2,000 residential units will be built in total, with average living space of over 50m². In addition, several residential complexes have underground parking and commercial units.
The Loftesnes Bridge, a challenging project involving parallel demolition and new construction, wins the Public Award of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork in 2018. The new bridge consists of a threepart steel construction, which was installed with an 800t floating crane. More than 1,000t of steel were used for the construction.
The PORR Executive Board is restructured. As of 1 February 2018, Andreas Sauer takes on the role of CFO. As a proven expert, he brings extensive experience in integration, transformation and project management to the company. In December another top manager joins the Executive Board in the form of Thomas Stiegler. He has worked for PORR for almost ten years after holding numerous management positions in the construction industry. Since 6 December 2018 Thomas Stiegler has been responsible for expanding the Group's international business.
PORR renews the old Töging am Inn hydraulic power plant, which is around 100 years old. The structural engineering, concrete construction and specialist civil engineering divisions all put their expertise to the test. The project involves overhauling the weir system, which is essential for the smooth running of the power plant, as well as the new build of the adjacent Töging powerhouse. The total contract volume is around EUR 120m.

Looking back at 2018 we see a successful, but also very demanding, year in terms of the operating business. Overcoming different parameters – this is part of our business and our 150-year history. We remained on track despite a challenging market environment and resolutely pursued our stated course – together with a great team. Our aim is clear: we are shaping PORR into one of the best construction companies in the industry.
The clear focus on construction helps us here. Our strong regional presence and firm anchoring on the five home markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic is a decisive stabilising factor. We continue to generate around 88% of production output here, while applying an approach that is as integrated as possible. The value added that we generate is both Group-wide and regional. In 2018 we once again broke records for production output and our order backlog. What's more, we achieved solid earnings despite an exceptionally demanding environment.
Looking forward, we are again faced with a challenging environment. The industry is confronted by rising costs for raw materials and construction supplies, subcontractor bottlenecks and a prevailing shortage of skilled labour. Our response: we intend to be more streamlined, more efficient and more integrated. To be selective regarding new projects, to focus on operational excellence and to be visible innovators in terms of new technologies and solutions. Thanks to our solid order books, we can seize opportunities in the construction sector even more effectively.
With intelligent growth at the heart of our strategy, we intend to expand our market position step by step. Acquisitions such as PORR Infra GmbH and ALPINE Bau CZ a.s. have enabled us to strengthen our position in niches of strategic importance, expanding our portfolio and thereby securing competitive advantages for customers.
Our quest for operational excellence has led us to reorganise our structures both in Germany and at Group level. We see additional potential to get close to customers through digital interconnectivity and in standards such as Building Information Modeling and LEAN Construction. With projects like the office building for BMW in Munich, we are blazing new trails in construction. Our goal is to react to customer demands more quickly and more flexibly. Finally, customers need a strong and reliable partner like us.
In 2018 we set the course for the future in terms of personnel, together with the Supervisory Board. With our new, expanded management team, we have been able to sharpen our focus even more precisely. As of 1 February 2018 Andreas Sauer stepped up as Chief Financial Officer. Since 6 December 2018 Thomas Stiegler has taken over responsibility for our international business.
We remain true to our dividend policy. It goes without saying that our stakeholders should participate in the company's success. That's why the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are proposing a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share for the 2018 business year to the Annual General Meeting. This corresponds to a 6.3% dividend yield based on the 2018 closing price.
One crucial factor is our corporate culture, which unites us all. The success of the large and countless small projects is due to the daily dedication of a team that proactively shapes our future and does so with passion. Our sincere thanks go to all of our members of staff. We are also grateful to our customers, shareholders and all of our business partners – your trust is what drives us. We hope that you will continue to support us and accompany us on this journey.
Sincerely,
Karl-Heinz Strauss CEO

PORR is and will remain a construction company. The firm is a leader in the construction sector in Austria. Europe-wide, PORR is one of the most significant construction companies on its home markets of Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. For 150 years PORR has been successfully realising complex projects in building construction and civil engineering. As one of the few infrastructure specialists on the five home markets, the company covers the entire value chain for infrastructure projects. The goal is to expand its leading position as a design-build developer. Furthermore, as a technological trailblazer, PORR increasingly applies networked, innovative solutions to design and construction and is proactively driving the development of future digital advances.
PORR's focus remains, unchanged, on the five European home markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. Around 88% of total production output is generated in these markets, whereby the business focus is firmly on Europe. Here PORR's entire service range is in play – from design to construction through to operations. In addition, the company works on selected project markets such as Qatar and the UAE, Norway, Great Britain and numerous CESEE countries. PORR offers its export products on these markets, thereby applying its extensive expertise in tunnelling, railway construction and other civil engineering internationally.
As of 31 December 2018, PORR had the following reportable segments: Business Unit 1 – Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Business Unit 2 – Germany, Business
25
Unit 3 – International and Business Unit 4 – Environmental Engineering, Healthcare & Services. In this report all of the key performance indicators and financial results relate to this organisational structure that was in place in 2018. PORR has implemented a new, streamlined segment structure, effective 1 January 2019. The company's strategic evolution demands integrated, intragroup networking and cooperation. The PORR activities are now focused on three business units.
Business Unit 1 continues to be responsible for the countries Austria and Switzerland. New additions include the disciplines of environmental engineering and railway construction including Slab Track Austria with a focus on Europe. Certain equity interests such as Prajo, TKDZ, Thorn, PWW and ALU-SOMMER have also been integrated. The former Business Unit 4 Environmental Engineering, Healthcare & Services has thereby been disbanded.
Business Unit 2 comprises the activities of PORR in Germany and is divided into four regions: South (via Munich), East (via Berlin), West (coverage by PORR Oevermann) and North (via Hamburg).
Business Unit 3 focuses on the home markets of Poland and the Czech Republic as well as all PORR project markets – Qatar, UAE, Norway, Great Britain and other CESEE countries. Alongside the Czech Republic, another new addition is international large-scale projects, which include Slab Track Austria infrastructure projects outside of Europe.
In addition, the other equity interests (PORR Beteiligungen und Management, PBM) have been integrated into the holding.
A culture of togetherness is what counts. For the approximately 20,000 staff members who give their all, every day. And for PORR as a whole, as it comes together. After all, the rapid changes in the industry and subsequently in the company can prove extremely challenging. Reliability, Shoulder to shoulder, Appreciation, Pioneering Spirit and Passion are the core corporate principles lived by PORRians every day. They serve as a guarantor of sustainable corporate success. Reliability provides the basis for dealing with each other responsibly. People at PORR show mutual respect at work, they accept and support one another. Solidarity and the ability to look at the bigger picture is crucial at every phase of business development. The good of the group takes priority over the interests of the individual. Changes are seen as opportunities. With pioneering spirit and passion, PORRians are always one step ahead and proactively contribute to a dynamic corporate culture.
PORR AG is a European construction company with a leading position in every aspect of the construction value chain. The strategy remains unchanged – expanding the strong market position in Europe and focusing on operational excellence. The overarching goal remains a sustainable increase in the company's value for every stakeholder.
PORR's business activities are divided into permanent business and project business. Permanent business with complete coverage is offered in Austria, the Czech Republic and parts of Switzerland. On every other market PORR works on a project basis and concentrates on the sectors in which it can offer clear value added.
PORR concentrates on the five stable European home markets – Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. The focus remains firmly on its core competency – the construction business. The company strives to realise as many construction services as possible itself and covers the entire lifecycle of a construction project on most of its markets – both in building construction and civil engineering. PORR has a strong, Group-wide construction platform and a streamlined organisational structure. This allows it to optimally exploit the potential of a European company coupled with in-depth, regional market knowhow.
Around 88% of production output was generated on PORR's home markets in 2018. In Austria the goal is to continue to expand its leading market position and grow in select niches. PORR has reached a decisive size in Germany, thereby establishing itself as a leading market player in infrastructure and industrial construction. Here PORR also offers its full range of services. A selective expansion of activities is planned in Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic, whereby PORR is striving for complete coverage in the Czech Republic in particular. PORR will service the Scandinavian market by drawing on its existing competencies from Poland.
The project markets are Qatar, UAE, Norway, Great Britain, Slovakia and Romania. Here PORR operates selectively with its export products primarily in tunnelling, railway construction and civil engineering (special and largescale projects). As long as there is clear value added, export products may also be offered there as individual projects on other international markets. Furthermore, projects are realised for longstanding industrial clients in line with the follow-your-customer principle.
The current target markets are Sweden and Denmark. The focus here is on projects in infrastructure construction in cooperation with local partners. PORR has already embraced this approach on the project markets of Norway and Great Britain, as well as Qatar and currently in the UAE.
PORR continues to focus on intelligent growth – especially in markets where clients are increasingly looking for full-service construction solutions. With its business model, PORR covers every in-demand service across the entire value chain. Targeted, value-generating acquisitions allow the Group to expand its existing service range in a selective and intelligent way. In 2018 PORR grew stronger with the takeover of PORR Infra GmbH (formerly Tunnel- & Traffic Consulting GmbH) and Alpine Bau CZ a.s. These acquisitions have secured strategic advantages in a challenging environment. PORR's approach to project acquisition is equally selective. Nascent opportunities on the market are only pursued after a comprehensive risk analysis.
Due to the dynamic growth of its markets, PORR selectively pursues a clear focus on operational excellence. Sustainable profitability should be secured by establishing competitive cost and process structures in every division. This is achieved by steadily increasing efficiency, unifying processes, bundling knowhow and a streamlined organisational structure with flat hierarchies. In addition to this and alongside the selective choice of new projects, continuous risk analysis is applied to acquisitions and project management in order to guarantee sustainable profitability over the course of the entire project.
The finance strategy of PORR is geared towards the business portfolio and the maturity structure of the operating business. As a large part of the construction business involves medium and long-term projects and the geographic focus is on Central Europe, the focus of the finance structure also has to reflect this.
The construction and project industry often demand complex business processes and so the financing strategy attempts to keep the risks of refinancing to a minimum.
The financing strategy is thereby focused on the following goals:
PORR thinks sustainably and is committed to continuity in its dividend policy. The policy is based on the performance of business and earnings in the coming years and should allow shareholders to fairly participate in the company's success. The dividend proposal of EUR 1.10 for 2018 represents an attractive dividend yield of 6.3% on the basis of the share closing price in 2018. PORR strives for an annual payout ratio of 30% to 50% of the share of annual profit attributable to shareholders.
The technological shift in the construction industry is opening up new growth opportunities for PORR. The company has increased its investments in developing software solutions throughout the entire value chain, which ultimately provide value added for every stakeholder. New technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Advanced Analytics such as Virtual Reality or methods like LEAN Construction are enabling new forms of cooperation between companies and everyone involved in the design and construction process. Here the teams at PORR work together under an interdisciplinary approach and in close cooperation with PORR Design & Engineering, the Digital Unit, PORR Equipment Services and, above all, staff in the operating business.
PORR is a trailblazer in applying forward-looking technologies and techniques in the construction industry. Operational excellence leads to the advancement of existing standards and brings new ideas to the fore. These innovations are bundled in a dedicated hub, evaluated and then pursued together with the right development partners. This not only applies to technologies, but also to processes and methods. And this is where PORR sees the future of the industry. All of this contributes to Group-wide connectedness – of information, data and especially of the people behind it. In order to remain a trailblazer in every area well into the future, developments and advances will be taken from the hub and applied across the entire Group as quickly as possible.
PORR takes responsibility for the impact of its business activities on the environment and on society. It has laid out the requisite measures in this area in its sustainability strategy. In accordance with the requirements of the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act, PORR publishes a non-financial report pursuant to Section 267a of the Austrian Commercial Code. The company is unaffected by the reporting obligations for non-consolidated accounting in accordance with Section 243b of the Austrian Commercial Code, as it does not meet the required number of employees.
The topics identified and prioritised with the help of the materiality matrix relate to the areas of energy and emissions; sustainable procurement; safety, security and prevention; the environmentally sound use of materials; employee matters and social affairs; upholding human rights; and compliance. The areas of diversity, equal opportunities and innovative technologies have also been incorporated in light of their increasing importance. The catalogue of measures includes energyefficiency measures related to equipment, fleet and building management and enhanced resource efficiency, through to a focus on local suppliers, the supplier management system, the occupational safety initiative "Vision Zero" and the implementation of workplace health promotion, protection and promotion of international human rights, as well as compliance training and comprehensive HR development measures.

The global market environment proved challenging for the stock exchanges in 2018. Buoyed by the positive impact of the tax reform in the USA, the key US and eurozone indices achieved record levels in January. That said, the optimism on the markets decreased considerably over the remainder of the year. Uncertainty predominantly emanated from the trade dispute between the USA and China, Italy's high levels of national debt and the ongoing Brexit debate. Prime rates in the US had been raised four times by the end of the year, putting additional pressure on the markets. In contrast, the prime rate in the eurozone remained at its record low of nought percent. At the start of the fourth quarter of 2018, concerns about a slowdown in the global economy increased. As a result of this, international stock markets underwent significant corrections and broadly closed down against year-end 2017.
The performance of the stock exchanges was therefore unexpectedly turbulent in 2018. With a negative performance for the year of -5.6%, the leading US Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a somewhat moderate decline. The European stock market environment was considerably weaker. The EURO STOXX 50 closed the year with a minus of 14.3% against year-end 2017. With price losses of 18.3% against the previous year, the DAX also saw an end to its upward trajectory of recent years. The looming trade conflict with the USA and the upcoming Brexit hit the export-focused German economy especially hard. Added to this were generally weak corporate figures and recessive growth forecasts.
There was a similar picture regarding the performance of Austria's leading ATX index. While it had recorded slight growth in the first and third quarters, it was unable to extricate itself from the uncertainty of the European backdrop over the rest of the year. The ATX ended 2018 down by 19.7% against year-end 2017. As of 31 December 2018, the market capitalisation of the prime market stood at EUR 91,173m.
The PORR share has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 8 April 1869 – making PORR the oldest listed company in Austria. Since 22 December 2014 the PORR share has been listed on the prime market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, the exchange's top segment.
A positive start to 2018 was followed by a downturn – parallel to the overall market – in the PORR share, which then led into a highly volatile phase. This trend continued up to and including April. The publication of the annual results for 2017 gave a positive boost to the share, which reached its year-high of EUR 34.50 in May. From the end of June to the end of September the PORR share was listed on the ATX for the first time. This led to one-off technical effects that were reflected in higher volume. Over the course of the rest of the year, pressure on the markets grew throughout Europe. An increase in negative news from the European industrial and construction sectors placed an additional burden on share prices in these industries. The PORR share was also unable to fully buck this trend, meaning that the share price underwent a sharp decrease, especially in the second half of the year. On 27 December 2018 the share hit its yearlow of EUR 17.28. It recovered slightly by year-end to close 2018 at EUR 17.44. This represents a year-on-year decline of 37.9%.
The average daily trading volume of the PORR share stood at 30,557 shares in 2018. As of 31 December 2018, PORR market capitalisation was EUR 507.4m.
The PORR share is currently covered by five brokers. ERSTE Group and SRC Research gave a Buy recommendation. Kepler Cheuvreux, Hauck & Aufhäuser and Raiffeisen Centrobank rated the share as "neutral".

Proposal to the Annual General Meeting
Shareholder structure (in %) Geographic split of free float (in %)1
■ Syndicate (Strauss Group, IGO-Ortner Group) ■ Free float (of which 5.85% Heitkamp Construction GmbH, 4.05% Wellington Management Group LLP and 3.48% PORR Management and treasury shares PORR AG)
1 Including PORR Management and treasury shares PORR AG 2 Excluding Austria, Germany, France and Great Britain
The syndicate (Strauss Group, IGO-Ortner Group) holds the largest percentage of outstanding shares, totalling 53.7%. The latest analysis from January 2019 shows that the free float of 46.3% is primarily split among Austria (29.2%), Great Britain (12.7%) and the USA (11.1%). In addition, investors from Germany hold 9.5% and investors from France 5.3% of the free-float shares.
The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of EUR 1.10 to the Annual General Meeting. PORR is thereby maintaining its dividend policy that specifies a payout ratio of 30% to 50%.
The objective of investor relations is a transparent and timely information policy. This should allow every stakeholder to make an appropriate assessment of the PORR share on the capital market. Constant, open and credible dialogue with all capital market participants is the most important instrument here. This in turn should further strengthen confidence in the share among analysts and institutional and private investors, both as an attractive growth prospect and as a reliable dividend stock.
In 2018 the management, together with the investor relations team, took part in numerous roadshows in the key financial centres in Austria and Europe including London, Frankfurt, Paris, Munich and Zurich. In addition PORR participated in a range of capital market conferences, engaging in comprehensive one-on-one and group talks with existing and potential investors and financial analysts. Central topics of communication included the Group's performance and growth and its response to the challenges faced by the European construction industry. Private investors were able to get information in person at the Annual General Meeting in May and at the Gewinnmesse – an annual fair for private investors in Vienna – in October.
Furthermore, PORR gave detailed reports on its business performance as part of its quarterly reporting and made use of teleconferences for analysts, investors and banks in addition to holding press conferences. All relevant information, such as the latest financial reports and presentations along with the financial calendar, is available at www.porr-group.com. There you can also find information on the PORR share updated daily, along with all corporate information and details on bonds and corporate governance. Investors can also sign up for the PORR Newsletter by contacting [email protected].
PORR views Corporate Governance as a key concept for responsible and transparent company management and the comprehensive auditing that accompanies this. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board work closely together in the interests of the company and its staff and continuously approve the strategic direction of the PORR Group. Constant dialogue with all relevant interest groups builds trust, also in corporate activities, and provides the basis for sustainable corporate growth in the future.
In December 2014 the PORR Group made a joint formal declaration by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board committing itself to the observance of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance. A top priority for PORR is continuously implementing the standards of responsible and sustainable corporate management.
With reference to the deviations listed below in the comply-or-explain catalogue, PORR is committed to upholding the rules of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance and sees this as a key precondition for responsible corporate management.
In accordance with Rule 62 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, an external evaluation of adherence to the C Rules is conducted at regular intervals. BDO Austria GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Steuerberatungsgesellschaft was hired to conduct the assessment for the 2018 business year and confirmed PORR's adherence to the C Rules in its report of 4 February 2019.
In accordance with Rule 36 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, in 2018 the Supervisory Board once again conducted a self-evaluation in the form of a survey which primarily addressed the efficiency of the Supervisory Board, its organisation and its working practices. The findings were then evaluated and discussed by the Supervisory Board.
Rules 27/30: A core issue for PORR is to ensure that Executive Board remuneration is objectively as measurable and transparent as possible. The Executive Board remuneration contains fixed and variable components which conform to the directives of Rule 27 to the greatest possible extent. The variable component is based on parameters including personal performance, personal dedication, PORR's economic situation and the respective sphere of responsibility, as well as non-financial parameters. The non-financial parameters primarily relate to implementing steps for the further development of PORR's sustainable profitability, which are, however, difficult to subject to objective measurement. The existing remuneration system has proven its value in practice. For these reasons, PORR does not see a need for new regulations. Publishing every detail related to Executive Board remuneration, in particular the individual performance criteria of the variable component, will not be undertaken as, in PORR's opinion, this information will not be of any particular relevance to the capital markets for PORR shareholders and other parties.
Rule 38: The PORR Supervisory Board has produced a job profile applied when appointing Executive Board members. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board believes that filling positions from within the company is the result of consistent professional employee development. Thomas Stiegler was appointed to the Executive Board on 6 December 2018. He has held various management positions in the PORR Group since September 2010. Thomas Stiegler fully meets the requirements for the position of Executive Board member through his career, the specialised projects acquired and completed, as well as his strategic competencies arising from his international experience. He was thereby an optimal fit for the job profile of the Supervisory Board.
Rule 49: The conclusion of contracts with members of the Supervisory Board in which such members are committed to the performance of a service outside of their activities on the Supervisory Board for the company or a subsidiary for remuneration not of minor value is subject to approval by the Supervisory Board in line with the law. The company will, however, refrain from publishing these details due to related operational and business confidentiality issues. In any case, the notes to the consolidated financial statements show PORR disclosures on "related party transactions", which detail the remuneration for services of members of the Supervisory Board outside of their activities on the Supervisory Board.
The latest version of the "Austrian Code of Corporate Governance" as laid out by the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance is available to the public on the website of the Austrian Working Group at www.corporate-governance.at. The website also includes an English translation of the Code and the interpretations developed by the working group. Furthermore, the latest Corporate Governance Code is available on the PORR homepage at www.porr-group.com/CG-Kodex.
The Executive Board consists of between two and six people appointed by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board also has the right to appoint deputies to the Executive Board. The Executive Board currently consists of four members. The Supervisory Board can name a member of the Executive Board as Chairman and name one member as the Deputy Chairman.
The members of the Executive Board are appointed by the Supervisory Board for a maximum term of five years. The renewed appointment or an extension of this period (each for a maximum of five years) is permitted. The Supervisory Board can dismiss a member of the Executive Board before the end of their term in office if there is an important reason to do so, for example if there is a serious breach of duty or if the Annual General Meeting passes a vote of no confidence in the Executive Board member.
The Executive Board must conduct its business in line with the specifications of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the statutes, other laws and the rules of procedure.
The Executive Board must report regularly to the Supervisory Board on its activities. The Supervisory Board rules on the division of responsibilities in the Executive Board in line with maintaining the overall responsibility of the Executive Board as a whole. The Executive Board requires Supervisory Board approval in order to undertake any business dealings specified in the relevant version of Section 95 Paragraph 5 Stock Corporation Act. In as far as legally permitted by Section 95 Paragraph 5 Stock Corporation Act, the Supervisory Board lays down limits on amounts up to which its approval is not required. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board is entitled to determine the types of business which require its approval in addition to the legally stipulated cases (Section 95 Paragraph 5 Stock Corporation Act). The Supervisory Board has issued appropriate rules of procedure for the Executive Board.
The Executive Board passes resolutions by simple majority of the votes cast. If an Executive Board member has been appointed as Chairman of the Executive Board, they have a casting vote in the case of a tie.
The Executive Board members must fulfil their responsibilities as their main employment and manage the company's business with the care of a proper and conscientious manager. They must manage the business in a way which satisfies the interests of the shareholders, the staff members and of the public. The Executive Board members may not take on any other employment without the approval of the Supervisory Board and may not take on an executive function in any companies which are not within the consolidated group.
The Group is represented by two Executive Board members, or by one Executive Board member with one authorised signatory. With legal restrictions, the Group can also be represented by two authorised signatories. Any Deputy Executive Board members are considered equal to regular Executive Board members with regard to rights of representation.
The following table shows the Executive Board members, their date of birth, their position, the date of their first appointment as well as the probable end of their time in office. In 2018 the following people sat on the Executive Board:

The Supervisory Board is composed of at least three and not more than twelve members appointed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). In line with Section 110 Paragraph 1 of the Labour Constitutional Act, certain members are also appointed by the Works Council. As of 31 December 2018 the Group's Supervisory Board consisted of eight members appointed by the AGM and four further members appointed by the Works Council. As long as the AGM has not specified a shorter term when appointing one or all members, the Supervisory Board members are appointed until the end of the AGM which rules on the approval of the Supervisory Board for the fourth business year after the initial election; the business year in which the Supervisory Board member was appointed does not count towards this four-year term. The reappointment of a Supervisory Board member – also an outgoing member – is permitted.
The appointment of a member of the Supervisory Board can be rescinded before the end of their time in office by AGM resolution. The resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast. Every member of the Supervisory Board can resign from their post following a 21-day notice period upon a written declaration to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, without stating an important reason. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board, or their Deputy in the case of their resignation, can decide to shorten the notice period.
Should certain members leave the Board before the end of their term in office, a vote to replace them is not required until the next AGM. However, a replacement vote is required at an extraordinary general meeting, to be held within six weeks, if the number of Supervisory Board members falls below three. Members appointed as a replacement only serve for the remainder of the term which the previous member would have served, unless otherwise determined by the AGM at the time of the appointment.
A replacement member can be appointed at the same time as the appointment of a Supervisory Board member, in which case the replacement member would take up their seat on the Supervisory Board effective immediately if the Supervisory Board member steps down before the end of their time in office. If multiple replacement members are appointed, the order in which they are to replace a Supervisory Board member who steps down must be determined. A replacement member can also be appointed as a replacement for multiple Supervisory Board members, so that they take a seat on the Supervisory Board if any one of these members steps down prematurely.
The term of office of a replacement member who joins the Supervisory Board is terminated as soon as a successor to the former Supervisory Board member has been appointed, or at the latest when the remainder of the former Supervisory Board member's time in office comes to an end. Should the term of office of a replacement member who joins the Supervisory Board be terminated because a successor to the former Supervisory Board member has been appointed, the replacement member still serves as a replacement for the additional Supervisory Board members they have been chosen to represent.
In a meeting held once a year following the AGM, which does not require any special invitation, the Supervisory Board elects a Chairman and one or more Deputies from among its members. If two Deputies are appointed, then the order in which they are to take up the post shall be determined. The term in office runs until the end of the next AGM. If the Chairman or one of the elected Deputies withdraws from their post, the Supervisory Board must appoint a replacement for the rest of the term in office, whereby re-election is permitted.
Should no candidate win a simple majority vote, then a runoff election is held between the people who have received the most votes. Should the runoff election result in a tie, lots shall be drawn to decide the election. If the Chairman or one of the elected Deputies withdraws from their post, the Supervisory Board must immediately hold a new election to appoint a successor. The Chairman and the Deputies can resign their post at any time following a 14-day notice period upon a written declaration to the Supervisory Board; this does not require them to step down from the Supervisory Board at the same time.
Every Deputy Chairman has the same rights and responsibilities as the Chairman when they are standing in for him. This also applies to holding a casting vote in elections and passing resolutions. Should the Chairman and his Deputies be prevented from realising their obligations, this obligation passes to the oldest Supervisory Board member (in terms of age) for the duration of the incapacity. Declarations of intent by the Supervisory Board and its committees shall be submitted to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, or to their Deputy should they be incapacitated.
In line with its legal responsibilities and those arising from the statutes, the Supervisory Board produces rules of procedure. Resolutions of the Supervisory Board on its rules of procedure require a simple majority of the members appointed by the AGM in addition to the general requirements on resolutions.
The Supervisory Board can form committees made up of its members. Their responsibilities and powers as well as their general rules of procedure are specified by the Supervisory Board. The committees can also take on the authority to make decisions. The committees can be convened long-term or for individual tasks. The Employee Representatives on the Supervisory Board have the right to nominate members with voting rights to the committees in the ratio specified by Section 110 Paragraph 1 of the Labour Constitutional Act. This does not apply to meetings and votes which relate to relationships between the company and the Executive Board members, except resolutions on the appointment or revocation of an Executive Board member as well as resolutions granting options in company shares.
The Supervisory Board passes resolutions in its regular meetings. The Supervisory Board shall hold meetings as often as the interests of the company require, at least once per quarter. In 2018 the Supervisory Board held five regular Supervisory Board meetings. The Chairman determines the form of the meeting, the way in which resolutions may be passed outside of meetings and the method of counting votes. The Executive Board members attend all meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees, as long as the Chairman of the meeting does not determine otherwise.
A Supervisory Board member can nominate another member in writing to represent them at a meeting. A member represented in this way shall not be included in the count determining if the meeting is quorate. The right to chair the meeting cannot be deputised. A Supervisory Board member who is unable to attend a meeting of the Supervisory Board or its committees is entitled to submit their written vote on individual agenda items via another member of the respective Board or committee.
The Supervisory Board is quorate when all members of the Supervisory Board have been properly invited to attend and when at least three Supervisory Board members, including one Chairman or Deputy, participate in the resolution. A topic of negotiation which is not on the agenda can only be ruled on by the Supervisory Board if all Supervisory Board members are present or represented and no member participating in the resolution objects.
Resolutions are passed by simple majority of votes cast. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast. In the case of a tie – also in elections – the Chairman has the casting vote. Every Deputy Chairman acting in the capacity of the Chairman's representative has a casting vote in resolutions and elections; this also applies to committee chairmen.
The Chairman can also decide that the votes of individual members not in attendance can be cast in written, oral or comparable form (especially fax, email) for resolutions of the Supervisory Board or its committees. Resolutions can also be passed by votes cast in written form (fax, email), without the Supervisory Board coming together for a meeting in cases where the Chairman (or their Deputy if they are incapacitated) so rules; this is conditional on no Supervisory Board member explicitly objecting to this procedure in written form (fax, email) within a period of three working days. Representation by another Supervisory Board member is not permitted when votes are cast in written form. A resolution is considered binding when all Supervisory Board members have been asked for their vote in written form (fax, email) and at least three members, including the Chairman or Deputy, have submitted their votes within a period of seven working days.
Resolutions can also be passed by votes cast in the form of a teleconference, internet conference or video conference, without the Supervisory Board coming together in a meeting in cases where the Chairman (or their Deputy if they are incapacitated) so rules; this is conditional on no Supervisory Board member explicitly objecting to this procedure in written form (fax, email) within a period of three working days. Representation by another Supervisory Board member is not permitted. A resolution is considered binding when all Supervisory Board members have been invited to the conference in written form (fax, email) and at least three members, including the Chairman or Deputy, have submitted their votes at the conference.
Under the conditions defined in the statutes, meetings of the Supervisory Board can also be held using electronic communication, without the physical attendance of Supervisory Board members at a meeting in a single venue. The Chairman can make use of the option to hold a video conference instead of a physical meeting of all members at one location, in particular when the urgency of convening a meeting, the frequency of meetings or the absence of Supervisory Board members from the location suggest this would be in the interests of the company.
The following table shows the current members of the Supervisory Board in 2018, their date of birth, their position, the date of their first appointment to the Supervisory Board as well as the probable end of their time in office.

C Rule 53 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance specifies that the majority of the members of the Supervisory Board elected by the Annual General Meeting or appointed by shareholders in line with the statutes shall be independent of the company and its Executive Board. A Supervisory Board member shall be considered independent if they do not have any business or personal relationship with the company or its Executive Board which constitutes a material conflict of interests and could therefore influence the behaviour of the member. The following criteria serve to define the independence of a Supervisory Board member:
In accordance with these criteria, the Supervisory Board members Michael Diederich, Robert Grüneis, Walter Knirsch, Karl Pistotnik, Bernhard Vanas and Susanne Weiss have declared themselves to be independent. The Supervisory Board members Iris Ortner, Klaus Ortner and Thomas Winischhofer have not submitted a declaration.
C Rule 54 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance specifies that companies in which free float accounts for more than 20% of shares must have at least one independent member as defined by C Rule 53 on the Supervisory Board, as elected by the general meeting or appointed under the statutes, who does not hold more than 10% of shares or represent the interests of such a shareholder. The Supervisory Board members Michael Diederich, Robert Grüneis, Walter Knirsch and Susanne Weiss have declared that they meet these criteria.
In the business year 2018 the following committees were formed by the Supervisory Board in order to support and deal efficiently with complex issues:
The audit committee was composed of the following Supervisory Board members in 2018:
The responsibilities of the audit committee include (i) monitoring the financial reporting process as well as issuing recommendations or suggestions to ensure its reliability; (ii) monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control system, the internal audit system, where appropriate, and the Group's risk management system; (iii) monitoring the auditing of the individual and consolidated financial statements under consideration of the findings and conclusions in the reports published by the Regulatory Authority on Auditors in accordance with Section 4 Paragraph 2 Line 12 of the Supervision of Auditors Act (APAG); (iv) assessing and monitoring the independence of the chartered auditors, in particular as regards any additional services they may have provided to the company (Article 5 of EU Regulation No. 537/2014 and Section 271a Paragraph 6 of the Austrian Commercial Code apply); (v) producing the report on the results of the audit to the Supervisory Board and a statement on how the audit has contributed to the reliability of financial reporting and the role of the audit committee; (vi) assessing the annual financial statements and preparing for their approval, assessing the proposal for appropriation of profits, the Management Report and the Corporate Governance Report, as well as reporting on the audit findings to the Supervisory Board; (vii) assessing the consolidated financial statements and the Group Management Report, the consolidated Corporate Governance Report, as well as reporting back to the Supervisory Board of the parent on the audit findings; and (viii) preparing the Supervisory Board's recommendation on carrying out the process for selecting the Group auditor under consideration of the appropriateness of their fee and preparing the Supervisory Board's recommendation on the choice of auditor. Article 16 of EU Regulation No. 537/2014 applies.
A meeting of the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, was held on 18 April 2018, in which the auditor reported on the state of the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017. An audit committee meeting was held on 25 April 2018, in the presence of the auditor, for the purpose of auditing and preparing the approval of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017 as well as auditing the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the report on payments to government entities, the consolidated non-financial report, the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017 including the Group Management Report and the proposal on the appropriation of profits as well as the authorisation by the auditor of non-audit services in accordance with the EU Audit Reform Legislation. At the same meeting, the Supervisory Board selected the auditor for the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018. In a meeting on 19 September 2018 the committee dealt with monitoring the financial reporting process, evaluating the effectiveness of the internal control system, the internal audit system and risk management within the Group. Furthermore, the auditor reported on the audit planning for the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018. An additional meeting of the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, was held on 12 November 2018 in accordance with Rule 81a of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, in which the monitoring of the (Group) audit was discussed. This meeting also gave the audit committee and the (Group) auditor the chance to communicate without the presence of the Executive Board. In a meeting on 6 December 2018, the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, addressed the report of the (Group) auditor on the functioning of risk management in accordance with Rule 83 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance and the internal audit report, including discussions on the audit plan and the material findings, in accordance with Rule 18 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance.
The nomination committee was composed of the following Supervisory Board members in 2018:
The nomination committee has the following responsibilities: (i) preparing Executive Board appointments including successor planning: before appointing Executive Board members, the nomination committee shall define the profile for the Executive Board member taking into account the corporate strategy and state of the company and prepare the decision by the full Supervisory Board on the basis of a specific appointment process and taking into account the successor planning; (ii) proposing possible candidates to the Supervisory Board: the nomination committee is involved with planning the allocation of Supervisory Board mandates. The nomination committee shall submit appointment proposals to the entire Supervisory Board, which shall be proposed on the basis of a resolution of the entire Supervisory Board to the General Meeting for their approval. When proposing appointments, attention must be paid to the qualifications and personal skills of the Supervisory Board members, as well as the balanced composition of the Supervisory Board in light of the structure and business area of PORR AG. Furthermore, the aspects of diversity in the Supervisory Board with regard to representation of gender, age and internationality shall be considered appropriately. Attention shall be paid to the fact that no-one shall be put forward as a member of the Supervisory Board who has been convicted of a crime which calls their professional reliability into question. Since 1 January 2018 the quotas for appointing men and women under the Equality Act shall be considered for new appointments to the Supervisory Board.
The nomination committee met on 3 December 2018 and dealt with issues relating to the Executive Board.
The remuneration committee consisted of the following members in 2018:
The remuneration committee has the following responsibilities: (i) handling matters related to remuneration of the Executive Board members and the content of the employment agreements with Executive Board members, particularly specifying the underlying principles of Executive Board member remuneration and determining the criteria for variable remuneration components in line with Rules 27, 27a and 28 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance; (ii) evaluating the remuneration policy for Executive Board members at regular intervals; (iii) approving additional duties of Executive Board members.
A meeting of the remuneration committee was held on 18 April 2018, which dealt with determining and expanding the parameters for measuring variable remuneration and with the contractual conditions for employment contracts for members of the Executive Board of PORR AG. It also addressed awarding a special bonus to the departing member of the Executive Board, Christian B. Maier, along with his termination agreement. Another meeting of the remuneration committee was held on 3 December 2018, which dealt with determining a special bonus for Executive Board member J. Johannes Wenkenbach and laying out the parameters for an employment contract for the newly appointed Executive Board member Thomas Stiegler.
The total remuneration of the Executive Board consists of a fixed salary, a variable bonus and other compensation.
The precondition for granting this bonus for all Executive Board members is fulfilling the quantitative and qualitative elements of a set of criteria which are determined by the Supervisory Board's remuneration committee. The variable performance bonus for 2018 was EUR 616,000.00 gross for the Chairman of the Executive Board and EUR 404,000.00 gross for Executive Board member Andreas Sauer and EUR 440,000.00 gross for J. Johannes Wenkenbach.
An annual premium of EUR 39,183.97 is paid into a pension insurance policy for Executive Board Chairman Karl-Heinz Strauss.
An annual contribution of EUR 40,000.00 each is paid into a pension scheme for Executive Board members Andreas Sauer, Thomas Stiegler and J. Johannes Wenkenbach.
D&O liability insurance covers the members of the Executive Board, the cost of which is borne by the company, which also subsidises private health insurance.
The remuneration corresponds to market rates. Furthermore, there is a bonus model for the entire Group that specifies agreed targets for management staff, as well as a bonus pool for other employees.
The targets agreed for management staff are based on consolidated earnings, divisional earnings and individual targets.
The additional bonus pool applies to all staff members who do not have any agreed targets. The amount of the bonus pool is determined annually by the Executive Board.
In the 2018 business year there were no share option programmes in the company.

In addition to reimbursement of expenses and an attendance fee for every meeting, all Supervisory Board members receive an annual payment for their services. The amount of the attendance fee and the annual payment are determined by a resolution by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM can also rule on a total amount of remuneration for the Supervisory Board and leave the Chairman of the Supervisory Board to decide how it is distributed. If the Supervisory Board mandate begins or ends during a business year, the respective Supervisory Board member is paid pro-rata compensation for the duration of their time on the Supervisory Board.
If members of the Supervisory Board take on special activities in this function and in the interests of the company, extra compensation for this can be approved by AGM resolution.
In the interests of the company, Supervisory Board members are covered by an appropriate level of D&O liability insurance, the costs of which are borne by the company.
The resolution of the AGM on 11 July 2013 determined the following remuneration for members of the Supervisory Board: the resolution states that the Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall receive fixed remuneration of EUR 25,000.00 per year, the Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall receive fixed remuneration of EUR 20,000.00 per year and the other members shall receive fixed remuneration of EUR 15,000.00 per year. The attendance fee for meetings was set at EUR 1,000.00 per meeting of the Supervisory Board or one of its committees. Members of the Supervisory Board who do not reside in Austria receive an additional reimbursement of tax at source settled by the company. The fixed remuneration is due in arrears once a year, within four weeks of the AGM. The attendance fee for meetings is due within the four weeks following the respective Supervisory Board meeting.
Furthermore, the Supervisory Board members appointed by the AGM have no claim whatsoever to pension or redundancy payments or any similar compensation upon conclusion of their mandates.
The Corporate Governance Report and the consolidated Corporate Governance Report have been brought together in a single report. This Corporate Governance Report is published as part of the Annual Report and is available on the Group's website at www.porr-group.com.

The permanent changes and challenges of our world of work demand a modern, forward-looking corporate culture that focuses on the wellbeing of every employee. This is even more true in the construction industry and in PORR, where many skilled staff from different countries work together. As a future-oriented employer, PORR knows that the key to success lies in diversity and that targeted employee measures strengthen the motivation, performance, potential for innovation and social skills of staff members, thereby contributing to greater corporate success.
This diversity in terms of culture and staff – more than 73 nations are currently represented at PORR – is highly valued and proactively promoted. The goal of the internal diversity initiative "We@PORR" is ensuring equal opportunities and fair treatment on the one hand, regardless of skin colour, nationality, social background, any disabilities, sexual orientation, political or religious convictions, as well as gender or age at every level and country. On the other hand, better conditions for a work/life balance need to be secured as well. Both of these goals play a key part in sustainably increasing the company's success. In addition, PORR supports national and international initiatives such as respACT (Austrian business council for sustainable development) and Companies for Families. It is a signatory of the Diversity Charter and the UN Global Compact and has made a clear commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. The maxim of equal opportunities for all staff members is also reflected in the broad range of opportunities PORR offers for further education and professional development. Individual support and a focus on further development and enhancing skills mean that the personal potential of every employee is exploited as effectively as possible. Concepts that help to promote cooperation based on mutual respect include intercultural training, diversity courses for management and the five new PORR Principles.
The concrete goals of "We@PORR" can be summarised as follows:
When selecting and appointing members of the Executive Board, the focus and the related decision-making criteria of the Supervisory Board lie primarily in the competency and expertise required for leading an industrial, listed, construction company with international operations.
Furthermore, the candidate's education and professional background, age and gender, and general aspects of the respective person are taken into account and influence the decision.
In light of the stipulations of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, the Supervisory Board defines an appropriate job profile when appointing a member to the Executive Board. The appointment of the Executive Board member is realised on the basis of a predefined appointment process.
The composition of the Supervisory Board adheres to the legal requirements of Sections 86 and 87 of the Stock Corporation Act. Prior to the election, the proposed candidates have to provide the general shareholders' meeting with their specialist qualifications, their professional or comparable functions, and any factors that could give rise to concerns regarding impartiality. Furthermore, the candidate's education and professional background, age and gender, and general aspects of the respective person are also taken into account for appointments to the Supervisory Board.
The selection of the proposed candidates is realised under consideration of a Supervisory Board that is well-balanced in terms of professional qualifications and that takes into account the company's business environment. Diversity aspects considered here include representation of both genders, as well as the inclusion of different ages and nationalities. In accordance with legal stipulations, attention is paid to ensure that nobody is appointed to the Supervisory Board who has been convicted of a criminal offence that calls their professional reliability into question.
Any new appointments to the Supervisory Board will be made on the basis of the legal stipulations of the Austrian Equality Act for Men and Women on Supervisory Boards, which specifies a female ratio of 30%.
The primary goal is to find the best possible people for the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of one of Austria's largest construction companies and Europe's leading infrastructure specialists, taking into account the aforementioned aspects.
The Executive Board of PORR AG consists of four men of different nationalities. Their ages range between 50 and 62. They have a professional and educational background in technology/engineering/construction and/or commerce.
Two of the eight shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board of PORR AG are women. The shareholder representatives are between 44 and 74 years old and have a range of different educational and professional backgrounds. These include professional backgrounds in the fields of technology, engineering, law, economics and business.
Women are underrepresented at PORR as is common across the industry. Promoting women at every level of the hierarchy is an important goal for PORR and the companies included in the consolidated group, while simultaneously representing a major challenge. The reasons for the low number of women lie in the fact that although the number of young women choosing technical subjects is increasing, it is still far from sufficient. On the other hand, the construction industry is rarely the first port of call for those that have just graduated in terms of their professional future.
In order to overcome this challenge, PORR has adopted a two-pronged approach. The female managers of the future need to have their passion for the construction industry ignited as early as possible. Targeted employer branding measures such as taking part in "Vienna Daughters' Day", "Apprentice Day" and the roadshow "PORR@ HAK" give an insight into apprenticeships, technical and commercial vocations and graduate positions, thereby presenting the construction sector as an attractive option for women. Furthermore, there is an increased focus on female students at career fairs.
Internally, the "We@PORR" initiative is contributing to meeting targets. The measures implemented have already been reflected in an increase in the percentage of women during the period under review. A better balance between one's professional and private life has also enabled part-time workers – and thereby increasingly women – to take on greater managerial responsibility. In addition, the increase in women in the operating business should lead in the medium term to a pool of qualified women ready to move on to upper management. At present, female managers are active in the PORR Group at various levels of the organisation, for example as division heads, managing directors, authorised signatories and two female members of the Supervisory Board.
The "We@PORR" catalogue of measures includes more flexible working-hours models such as home office and sabbaticals, as well as proactive management of parental leave such as promoting paternity leave and professional development opportunities during parental leave. What's more, employees can maintain contact during their parental leave via smartphone or laptop and make the most of a comprehensive range of services for families and home care. Initiatives here include the Kids Days (childcare when schools are closed), the Adventure Camp (childcare during the summer holidays), the Parent-Child Office for childcare emergencies, as well as PORR nursing leave and PORR Care+ insurance.
Another focal point is on the two company networks "Diversity Table" and "Women@PORR". While the "Diversity Table" aims to raise awareness of the diversity-specific core dimensions and promote cooperation based on mutual respect, the goal of "Women@PORR" is stronger networking and a more intensive exchange of experience among female colleagues. This is why best-practice examples are presented regularly along with female role models who report on their working lives and give tips. In addition, the training for women, which is primarily targeted at developing skills, focusing on strengths and promoting personal initiative, is now moving into its next phase with Module 2. The training initiative "Empowerment for women in the world of construction" encourages female employees in the PORR Group, particularly those in the operating business, to take up management positions. Furthermore, the successfully completed pilot project "Mentoring for women" has been rolled out to the whole of Austria. With female mentees making up a minimum of 50%, high potentials are nurtured in a targeted way. In order to increase the percentage of women in training to become the next generation of managers, current managers are being asked to place a stronger focus on female candidates when selecting participants. In addition, diversity training for managers is successfully raising awareness of the issue.
In 2018 payments in a minor amount were made to government entities by Group subsidiaries operating in the extractive industries. As a result of the inclusion in the Group tax group and the profit-and-loss transfer agreements concluded, no corporation tax was paid. Reference is made to the application of the simplified option pursuant to Section 243d Paragraph 5 of the Austrian Commercial Code.
In 2018 PORR continued its positive performance and implemented a range of key steps in order to sustainably safeguard its achievements well into the future. In addition to the positive economic growth, important groundwork was laid in terms of both structure and personnel. The Supervisory Board expressly welcomes these decisions and is grateful to the Executive Board and the staff for their dedication.
The strong growth in output of around 18% reflected the high order intake secured in recent years. Despite working off these orders, the order backlog increased significantly once again. The Supervisory Board is particularly pleased with the good mix of large-scale projects such as the Brenner Base Tunnel and numerous permanent contracts from clients with a good credit standing. In terms of operations, it should also be noted that the turnaround announced for Germany has also actually been realised and that the further prospects on this most important foreign market are also positive.
Regarding personnel, the nomination committee of the Supervisory Board nominated Thomas Stiegler as a member of the Executive Board and new COO of PORR AG as of 3 December 2018. The Supervisory Board particularly welcomes the fact that this position was filled from within the company's own ranks, as its members had already been impressed in the past by the skills and competencies of the new COO. The Supervisory Board wishes Thomas Stiegler all the very best for his future at PORR.
In organisational terms, the start of the year has seen PORR introduce a new structure with a concentration on just three business units. As part of a major transformation process, which PORR has been engaged in for a year and extends to every aspect of the company, the new structure will facilitate a greater focus on the core competencies. In addition to this transformation process, the Supervisory Board sees the cultural plan, which got into full swing in 2018, as delivering particularly important stimuli for the future.
The Supervisory Board has actively encouraged and supported the company's development in keeping with the responsibilities assigned to it. In line with Section 81 of the Stock Corporation Act, the Executive Board has kept the Supervisory Board constantly informed of full details of the development of the business and financial position of the Group and its shareholdings, of staff and planning matters and of investment and acquisition projects through spoken and written reports, and the latter has discussed strategy, business development and risk management with the Supervisory Board. In a total of five meetings, the Supervisory Board passed the relevant resolutions that were required.
The necessary approval for the transactions for which consent is required under Section 95 Paragraph 5 of the Stock Corporation Act and pursuant to the rules of procedure for the Executive Board was obtained; in urgent cases, written voting was used for authorisation of this nature. The average level of attendance at Supervisory Board meetings by members that had been elected by the AGM was 88.4%.
The Supervisory Board's nomination committee unanimously nominated Thomas Stiegler for the position of COO of PORR AG on 3 December 2018. Following this, in its meeting of 6 December 2018, the Supervisory Board appointed Thomas Stiegler (54) as a member of the Executive Board and COO of PORR AG, effective 6 December 2018. After graduating in Business Administration, Thomas Stiegler was employed at KPMG before starting his international career in 1993 at Bilfinger SE. Until 2010 he held various management positions for the company's international construction business in Asia, Europe, the MENA region and North America. In 2010 he took over as Head of the Business Unit International at PORR.
With the newly composed Executive Board team, the exceptional work performed by the entire staff and an all-time high in the order backlog, the Supervisory Board expects PORR's positive performance to continue once again in the 2019 business year.
In 2018 the Supervisory Board formed the following committees made up of its members in order to support and deal efficiently with complex issues:
A meeting of the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, was held on 18 April 2018, in which the auditor reported on the state of the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017.
An audit committee meeting was held on 25 April 2018, in the presence of the auditor, for the purpose of auditing and preparing the approval of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017 as well as auditing the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the report on payments to government entities, the consolidated non-financial report, the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017 including the Group Management Report and the proposal on the appropriation of profits as well as the authorisation by the auditor of non-audit services in accordance with the EU Audit Reform Legislation. At the same meeting, the Supervisory Board selected the auditor for the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
In a meeting on 19 September 2018 the audit committee dealt with monitoring the financial reporting process, evaluating the effectiveness of the internal control system, the internal audit system and risk management within the Group. Furthermore, the auditor reported on the audit planning for the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
An additional meeting of the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, was held on 12 November 2018 in accordance with Rule 81a of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance, in which the monitoring of the (Group) audit was discussed. This meeting also gave the audit committee and the (Group) auditor the chance to communicate without the presence of the Executive Board.
In a meeting on 6 December 2018, the audit committee, in the presence of the auditor, addressed the report of the (Group) auditor on the functioning of risk management in accordance with Rule 83 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance and the internal audit report, including discussions on the audit plan and the material findings, in accordance with Rule 18 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance.
The nomination committee met on 3 December 2018 and dealt with issues relating to the Executive Board.
A meeting of the remuneration committee was held on 18 April 2018, which dealt with determining and expanding the parameters for measuring variable remuneration and with the contractual conditions for employment contracts for members of the Executive Board of PORR AG. The committee also addressed the granting of a special bonus and the conclusion of a termination agreement with departing Executive Board member Christian B. Maier.
A meeting of the remuneration committee was held on 3 December 2018 to decide on a special bonus for the Executive Board member J. Johannes Wenkenbach and determine the parameters of the employment contract for the newly appointed Executive Board member Thomas Stiegler.
The annual financial statements of PORR AG as of 31 December 2018, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements and the Management Report, and the consolidated financial statements that had been prepared as of 31 December 2018 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS, as applied in the EU) and the Group Management Report, were audited by BDO Austria GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungs- and Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Vienna. The audit, based on the bookkeeping and documentation of the company as well as the explanations and documentation provided by the Executive Board, revealed that the bookkeeping records and the annual financial statements and consolidated accounts complied with the legal requirements and provided no cause for complaint. The Management Report and Group Management Report accord with the annual and consolidated financial statements. The Group has produced a special consolidated non-financial report and a consolidated Corporate Governance Report. The aforementioned audit company has therefore issued an unqualified audit opinion for the annual and consolidated financial statements.
The audit report prepared by the auditor, the Corporate Governance Report, the report on payments to government entities, the Executive Board's proposal on the appropriation of net profit, and the special consolidated non-financial report were dealt with in detail with the auditors in a dedicated meeting on 25 April 2019 in the audit committee and submitted to the Supervisory Board. The Executive Board proposes to pay out a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share entitled to dividends from the net retained profits of EUR 32,039,425.03 with the rest of the balance carried forward to new account.
The audit committee and the Supervisory Board have approved the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2018 and the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the report on payments to government entities, the special consolidated non-financial report and the proposal of the Executive Board regarding the appropriation of net profits following intensive discussion and auditing. The annual financial statements as of 31 December 2018 have thus been adopted. The audit committee and the Supervisory Board also approved the consolidated accounts for 2018 that had been prepared in accordance with IFRS and the Group Management Report. The Supervisory Board agreed with the proposal of the Executive Board regarding the appropriation of earnings.
The Supervisory Board thanks customers and shareholders for the confidence they have placed in PORR and their commitment to the company, as well as the Executive Board and staff for the dedication they have demonstrated over the past year and the constructive collaboration it has enjoyed with them.

There was a mixed picture for the global economy in 2018. While the USA performed better than the previous year thanks to the tax reform and higher public spending, Europe lost momentum. The main factors behind this slowdown were the trade conflict between the USA and China, uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and turbulence in Italy. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), overall global GDP growth reached 3.7% in 2018, matching the level of the previous year.1
GDP in the USA displayed robust growth of 2.9%2 . Drivers here included the tax reform at the beginning of 2018, which boosted consumer spending in particular. In contrast, the four interest rate hikes had the effect of retarding growth. At year-end the benchmark interest rate stood at 2.25% to 2.50%3 .
Global economic concerns and ongoing anxiety surrounding Brexit hampered growth in the eurozone, which stood at 1.8% in 2018 according to the IMF4 . Despite slower growth rates, experts continue to forecast a continuation of the moderate growth phase for the eurozone. The European Central Bank (ECB) left its prime rates unchanged at 0.0%5 . Both private and public investments benefited from the ongoing low interest rate environment. Eurozone unemployment was at a historic low of 7.9% in December 2018. Employment reached a record level.6
In Germany GDP climbed by 1.5% against the previous year, rising for the ninth time in a row – albeit at a slower pace. Private and public spending, increased investment by companies and the construction boom all contributed to this surge. In contrast, exports failed to act as a growth driver due to the decline in foreign demand.7
Economic growth in Austria remained in full swing in 2018 and proved exceptionally robust. Experts have estimated full-year growth of 2.7%8 for 2018, the same level as the previous year. The stable domestic economy and foreign trade delivered significant positive impacts9 . Austria was thereby above the European average.
In the CESEE countries, the economy continued its growth trajectory. Investments financed by the European Cohesion Fund drove economic output, as did decreasing unemployment rates. Against this backdrop, Polish GDP grew by 4.8% in the year under review. The performance in the Czech Republic was also positive with growth of 3.0%.10
Growth in the European construction sector continued in 2018, albeit at a slower pace. With a plus of 2.8%, growth was well below the previous year's level of around 4.1% according to Euroconstruct. That said, the growth trend was in the right direction – by 2020 experts expect a cumulative rise of around 5.0%. Growth may slow down, but it will remain at a high level overall. Subdued expectations are broadly due to the strong capacity utilisation in the construction industry, the ongoing lack of skilled labour, as well as a sharp increase in prices for building materials and logistics.11
In 2018 the growth focus shifted from building construction to civil engineering. While growth in building construction was significantly slower in 2018 than in previous years, civil engineering volumes in the Euroconstruct countries rose by 5.0%. Experts expect the expansion in civil

engineering volumes to continue to 2021, driven by the need to expand and extend traffic and transport infrastructure. Countries in Central and Eastern Europe are the strongest beneficiaries and will receive funding from the EU Structural Funds until 2020. This means that the prospects for traffic route infrastructure look particularly bright.12
Building construction reported an overall increase of 2.3%. The rate of new-build housing saw growth of 5.5%, which was practically half that of the previous year. In this area Euroconstruct expects a further levelling off. Non-residential construction only grew moderately in Western Europe, while there was strong growth in Eastern Europe of 10.2%.13
With growth in construction volumes of 2.3%, Austria was above the Western European average according to Euroconstruct. Positive impacts here came from newbuild residential construction in particular, rising by 2.7%. That said, this high growth level in building construction is unlikely to continue in the medium term and civil engineering will take over as the driving force in the future.14
Germany maintained its high level with EUR 332 bn in construction volumes. Experts report that the growth tempo slowed in 2018 to 1.3%. Capacity bottlenecks for skilled labour and subcontractors, coupled with high construction costs, dampened expectations for 2019. According to Euroconstruct, Eastern Europe is set to see further growth of around 9.1% in 2019, with growth rates of 10.1% and 6.9% for Poland and the Czech Republic respectively.15
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 addition, production output 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 2018 production output of EUR 5,593m was 18.0% higher than the previous year's value (2017: EUR 4,738m.). All four business units contributed to the increase of EUR 855m. Particularly strong contributors were projects Business Unit 1 – Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic (BU 1) generated production output of EUR 2,741m. It thereby achieved a year-on-year increase of EUR 313m or 12.9%.
Especially positive impacts – including from acquisitions – came from the Czech Republic and the sector of large-scale building construction projects. The highest growth in Austria came from the provinces of Vienna, Styria and Salzburg. Output in Switzerland also underwent positive growth.
In Business Unit 2 – Germany (BU 2), the production output of EUR 927m was significantly higher than the previous year (2017: EUR 741m). The growth of EUR 186m represented an increase of 25.0%. The high level can be broadly attributed to the dynamic expansion of recent years, especially the effect of consolidating PORR Oevermann, which has now been fully realised. In addition, structural engineering and building construction by the South branch office reported significant increases in output.
With production output of EUR 1,617m, Business Unit 3 – International (BU 3) achieved a rise of EUR 309m or 23.7%. Here Poland and Slovakia experienced the strongest growth. The output of the tunnelling division achieved a similar increase.
Business Unit 4 – Environmental Engineering, Healthcare & Services (BU 4) generated production output of EUR 244m. This corresponds to a rise of 8.1% or EUR 19m. The majority was generated by PORR Umwelttechnik.
PORR is firmly rooted on its five home markets. EUR 4,911m or 87.8% of total production output was generated on these markets. At 41.7%, Austria remained the most important PORR market. This was followed by Germany, which accounted for 26.9% and generated production output of EUR 1,503m. Poland contributed 11.6% of output –boosted by EU subsidies in road and rail construction – and displayed strong momentum. Switzerland and the Czech Republic contributed 4.0% and 3.6% respectively of total output.

engineering projects in Germany – the order backlog reached a new record high. It stood at EUR 7,100m and thereby exceeded the record level of the previous year by 11.5%. The order intake held steady with slight growth of 0.4% to total EUR 6,326m. This reflects the consistent selective approach to acquiring orders. As before, the cushion of orders exceeds a single year's production.
The improvement in the order backlog extended to every business unit. At EUR 2,158m, BU 1 achieved a slight increase of 2.9% or EUR 61m. The order backlog of BU 2 was just as pleasing. With a value of EUR 1,568m, it rose by 4,6% or EUR 69m. At year-end BU 3 had an order backlog of EUR 3,150m – a strong plus of EUR 589m or 23.0%. One particular factor behind the growth was the acquisition of the large-scale project the Brenner Base Tunnel. The largest relative increase came from BU 4 – also because of the well-filled order books of PORR Umwelttechnik. The order backlog stood at EUR 184m, thereby climbing by 48.1% or EUR 60m.
The order intake remained stable. BU 1 was able to slightly increase the high level of the previous year to EUR 2,802m. In line with the selective approach to order acquisition, the order intake of BU 2 slipped back to EUR 995m. BU 3 achieved EUR 2,207m partly thanks to civil engineering contracts, while BU 4's order intake stood at EUR 303m.
The highest-volume order for the year 2018 was the tender for the largest tunnelling contract in Austrian history – the Brenner Base Tunnel. The approximately 18km-long lot has a pro rata project volume of EUR 531m. Also on its Austrian home market, PORR was awarded the project to renew the railway station for long-distance travel, Mürzzuschlag. Other important orders in Austria included the construction of the office complex QBC 1 + 2, as well as the refurbishment and extension of the Austrian Parliament. On its home market of Germany, PORR acquired numerous large-scale projects in residential and industrial construction. In structural engineering, the contract for building the FAIR particle accelerator was acquired in Darmstadt with a project volume of EUR 207m. In civil engineering PORR won the tender for the Töging power plant, a large-scale order requiring cross-border cooperation. One significant order for PORR Suisse was the 80m-high Franklin Tower at Oerlikon Station in Zurich. In Poland PORR secured numerous projects in infrastructure and hydraulic engineering. The largest road construction contract of the year involved the design and build of the S3 between Bolków and Kamienna Góra with a project volume of around EUR 290m.
In 2018 the consolidated revenue of the PORR Group climbed by EUR 666.2m to EUR 4,959.1m. The rise in revenue of 15.5% was slower than the increase in production output as there was a disproportionately strong rise in output from consortiums.
The income from companies accounted for under the equity method include results from associates and joint ventures, as well as the income from interests in consortiums. While the contribution from consortiums rose comparatively sharply in 2018 to EUR 60.3m (2017: EUR 35.3m), the earnings from associates and joint ventures saw a moderate increase to EUR 26.3m (2017: EUR 23.9m).
The PORR Group's other operating income increased more slowly than revenue, climbing by 7.6% to EUR 183.9m. In comparison to 2017 this contained higher charges passed on to associates – especially for projects in Qatar – as well as income from the sale of assets. A countereffect to this increase came from the decline in other operating expenses, which in 2017 included damages received in the course of realising construction contracts, as is common in the industry.
Materials and other related production services represent the highest cost factor in terms of expenses. The development of these costs is dependent on the degree to which the services on construction projects are carried out by the Group itself versus those rendered by subcontractors. This expense item rose by 17.6%, representing a slightly sharper increase than revenue growth. This was caused by the rise in costs for subcontractor services in certain countries, due to economic factors. The individual components underwent the following changes: while the percentage of revenue attributed to expenditure on purchased services rose by 0.9 PP year-on-year, the share of material costs together with staff expense remained constant. Expenditure on purchased services amounted to EUR 2,394.4m (2017: EUR 2,034.7m), while material expenses were EUR 1,068.3m (2017: EUR 909.3m).
In 2018 staff expense saw a slower increase than the growth in revenue, climbing by 13.8% to EUR 1,178.8m. This contrasted with a mere 7.3% rise in the average number of staff employed.
Compared to the previous year, other operating expenses underwent an overall increase that was slower than
the rise in revenue. This highly varied item totalled EUR 373.9m, which climbed by 7.9% against the previous year and includes legal and consultancy services, office running costs, travel expenses, buildings and land, taxes and duties, commission on syndicated guaranteed loans, advertising costs, the allocation of provisions for losses, penalties, and warranty claims, whereby expenses for legal and consultancy services and for insurance were above the level of the previous year.
EBITDA improved by 9.4% or EUR 18.8m against the previous year to EUR 219.5m. The EBITDA margin therefore amounted to 4.4% (2017: 4.7%).
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment increased by 15.1% to EUR 127.1m because of higher investments resulting from the increase in revenue.
EBIT thereby stood at EUR 92.3m, which was EUR 2.1m higher than the previous year's value of EUR 90.2m.
The financial result improved slightly by EUR 0.7m as a result of the slight rise in income from equity interests to total EUR -4.2m.
In the period under review EBT reached EUR 88.1m (2017: EUR 85.3m). Taking into account the proportionate, slight, year-on-year decrease in tax expense of EUR 21.9m (2017: EUR 21.6m), the consolidated profit amounted to EUR 66.2m, which was slightly above the previous year's value of EUR 63.7m, with an increase of 3.9% or EUR 2.5m.
As of 31 December 2018 the PORR Group's total assets stood at EUR 3,114.7m and thereby rose by EUR 229.9m or 8.0% against the previous year as the result of the increase in revenue and the acquisition of Alpine Bau CZ a.s.
Under non-current assets, property, plant and equipment underwent a particularly sharp rise of EUR 54.0m to EUR 666.8m due to investments in construction equipment and additions of the technical facilities of Alpine Bau CZ a.s. There was a significant increase from EUR 31.4m to EUR 93.2m among the interests in companies accounted for under the equity method, including through the purchase of Alpine Bau CZ a.s. and its equity-method interests. Loans and borrowings rose by EUR 25.0m to EUR 48.8m – mostly because of project financing. The payback of the UBM mezzanine loan led to a decrease in other financial assets to EUR 41.6m (2017: EUR: 94.6m), while the other balance sheet item held steady. This led to an overall increase in non-current assets of EUR 67.0m to EUR 1,104.1m.
Current assets rose by a total of EUR 163.0m as of 31 December 2018. The disproportionately low increase in trade receivables as compared to revenue, from 12.3% to EUR 1,461.7m, was based on the continuous improvement in working capital management. The rise in other receivables and assets of EUR 40.1m resulted from the prepayments for suppliers and from tax receivables. This contrasted with a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 39.0m to EUR 319.7m.
The equity ratio stood at 19.9% as of 31 December 2018 and was thereby 0.8 PP below the previous year. Nevertheless, equity increased in absolute terms (EUR 64.3m), while the dividends paid out in the amount of EUR 44.2m had a contrasting effect. Overall, equity rose by EUR 21.2m to EUR 618.2m.
Trade payables increased practically in proportion to trade receivables by 11.9% or EUR 122.3m to EUR 1,154.4m. Other liabilities grew by EUR 81.5m to EUR 449.1m as it was possible to demand higher prepayments on construction projects. Overall, current liabilities rose by EUR 222.2m to EUR 1,922.9m.
Non-current liabilities fell by EUR 13.4m to EUR 573.6m. The reclassification of a bond due in 2019 to current liabilities was one factor in the decline in the item bonds and Schuldscheindarlehen by EUR 58.1m to EUR 175.6m. There was a contrasting effect from the increase in lease financing leading to a rise in finance liabilities of EUR 188.1m (2017: EUR 147.1m).
As of 31 December 2018, the PORR Group's net debt (total of bonds and financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and securities in current assets) stood at EUR 150.2m (2017: EUR 147.4m).
While operating cash flow of EUR 168.7m remained broadly constant (2017: EUR 170.0m), cash flow from operating activities saw a significant increase on 2017, rising by EUR 202.2m to EUR 186.3m. Consistent working capital management facilitated a significant reduction in the increase in receivables, which was also offset by the rise in trade payables.
The lower acquisition activity compared to the previous year is reflected in cash flow from investment activities. In addition, the repayment of the UBM mezzanine loan had
a positive impact. Cash flow from investment activities improved by EUR 141.2m to EUR -68.7m.
Cash flow from financing activities of EUR -154.8m shows the inflow from redeeming a bond (EUR 46.9m) and the payout of dividends (EUR 43.0m). Significant effects also came from the roll-over and partial repayment of Schuldscheindarlehen and credit financing.
As of 31 December 2018, cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 319.7m (2017: EUR 358.7m).
In the 2018 business year a larger investment was made in a ballast cleaner in addition to the usual high 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 finance leases. CAPEX increased year-on-year by EUR 2.1m to EUR 176.5m. This resulted in a CAPEX ratio of 3.2% in relation to production output (2017: 3.7%).
The detailed audit of investment needs in the entire Group continued to be upheld.
Developing innovative solutions is an intrinsic part of the design process as well as the actual construction process. PORR is striving for technological leadership in many areas of construction technology. In 2018 PORR employed around 100 people in the fields of research, development and innovation. Other sub-departments and operating units also support the innovation projects, whereby their organisation is handled by knowledge management. The PORR department of Technology Management and Innovation (PTI) serves as a contact point offering comprehensive consulting and support for every innovation question.
The importance of the issue was also reflected in the 2017 ideas contest, the results of which have already been implemented in several areas in 2018: for example, new techniques are being explored in specialist civil engineering to produce diaphragm walls more efficiently. New environmentally sustainable materials have been developed for sealing injection works. A new app is making a valuable contribution to occupational safety on construction sites by applying structured monitoring and improved documentation.
PORR cooperates with universities and other research institutes on a variety of research projects. Research focal points have included optimising construction processes (LEAN Management) as well as issues related to building materials and constructions. The goal is to secure sustainable solutions through longer lifecycles and the lowest possible impacts on the environment. PORR Umwelttechnik has initiated a new project for recycling secondary raw materials to this end. The results have helped to increase the percentage of recycling and to meet climate targets.
Projects to digitalise construction projects have been underway not only in Austria, but also in Germany, Romania and Poland. PORR is expanding its expertise in Building Information Modeling. Here, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are used as support tools. Different systems for digitalising and optimising the logistics of construction materials have already been rolled out to the operating units, while a software package for digital construction documentation is being developed in the tunnelling sector.
Tunnelling and applying the Slab Track Austria system for railway construction involves technologies that already place PORR among the top experts on the international stage. New track systems and tunnel segments are being manufactured for high ballast loads in order to comply with customer requirements and overcome the special challenges faced on large-scale projects today.
Applications were filed for both national and international patents in the 2018 reporting period.
In 2018 PORR employed 19,014 people on average. This figure includes 10,476 waged workers and 8,538 salaried employees. This represents an increase of 7.3% against the previous year. The rise was equally split among staff members in Austria (+7.6%) and abroad (+7.0%). The sharp growth in output in Germany led to an increase in staffing levels on PORR's second-largest market of 14.8%. There was a significant rise of 25.2% in the workforce in Poland due to the expansion in output. The increase in staff expense to EUR 1,179m was below the growth in production output.
PORR proactively promotes ongoing HR development. With the PORR Academy, PORR offers a Group-wide digital platform for E-Learning courses along with external and internal training and other educational opportunities. In 2018 the average number of training days per staff member stood at 1.781 (data based on Austria, Germany and Switzerland), while the total number of training sessions was 78,75311 . A total of 10,5821 people took part in training. The newly established PORR Education Campus will expand the range of further development opportunities. Skilled workers and apprentices can benefit here from the three-way educational system "Construction Site, School, Building Academy". At the end of the 2018 reporting period there were a total of 288 apprentices learning 20 different vocations. 46 apprentices successfully passed their final exams in 2018.
The mandatory disclosures as required by the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act can be found separately in the 2018 PORR Sustainability Report. Available at: www.porr-group.com/en/group/csr/csr/
PORR is well aware of the impacts its business activities have on society and the environment. They are multifaceted and demand a Group-wide strategy that is fit for the future. Employee and social affairs are important focal points here, while the environmental aspect is also a key concern given the high consumption of energy and resources.
PORR is committed to sustainable corporate management, whereby the fundamentals are laid out in the sustainability strategy, written together with the Executive Board. In addition, the company upholds the principles of the UN Global Compact and supports its sustainable development goals (SDGs). The sustainability strategy of PORR is based on the three pillars of adding value, recognising value and preserving value – these reflect the three sustainability aspects of the economy, society and the environment.
Here PORR deploys an integrated approach, i.e. it brings together all three sustainability dimensions. The relevant aspects are prioritised as part of a materiality analysis and relate to areas such as energy and emissions; sustainable procurement; safety, security and prevention; the environmentally sound use of materials; further education
and training; compliance; employment; diversity and equal opportunities; and innovative technologies. This has been followed up with a short overview of the key issues – more information can be found in the separate non-financial report. The PORR Sustainability Report has been produced in accordance with the GRI G4 standards "Core" option and conforms to the requirements of the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act.
PORR strives to continuously improve its energy efficiency and thereby reduce its energy consumption.
The energy efficiency measures introduced in the fields of transport and building infrastructure (e.g. green and blue buildings) contribute to this goal along with the use of renewable energy sources. Furthermore, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should be reduced together with the dependency on fossil fuels. Promoting buildings with sustainability certificates is also included in this sector, as is reducing transport-related emissions and decreasing any negative environmental impact. The use of alternative drive systems and energies, centralised equipment and fleet management, deploying state-of-the-art construction machinery, modernising old production facilities and optimised construction site logistics help to increase energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions. PORR has set itself the goal of cutting its primary energy consumption, specifically GHG emissions, by at least 1.5% per year by 2020. This represents a 7.5% reduction for the period 2015 to 2020. In addition, it is committed to developing certification systems, implementing energy efficiency guidelines and regular energy audits.
When selecting business partners, suppliers etc., PORR applies the principles laid out in the Code of Ethics. As a company that operates sustainably, PORR has an especially important role to play by protecting employees and the environment in its sphere of influence and responsibility. Here the focus is on establishing stable, long-term relationships with suppliers and subcontractors – with close attention paid to occupational health and safety, environment and human rights. PORR has reduced the number of suppliers and deployed lead buyers in order to increase the quality of and trust in the predominantly regional suppliers. In this way, between 60% and 95% of purchasing, depending on the country, involved local suppliers. Increased cooperation with local suppliers and better transport logistics should also mitigate negative
environmental impacts such as air pollution. Environmental incidents and deviations in the environmental and social sector are recorded in the supplier database and evaluated using a traffic-light system. Failure to adhere to applicable standards can lead to a ban on further commissioning.
Occupational health and safety is also accorded top priority. PORR is pursuing a clearly defined strategy with Vision Zero and the goal of reducing the frequency of incidents to fewer than ten by 2020. In order to meet these targets in the field of safety, security and health protection, comprehensive health and safety training is held in addition to safety walks on construction sites. What's more, as part of the diversity initiative "We@PORR", the company has introduced a workplace health promotion initiative that involves implementing and evaluating healthcare, behavioural and situational measures. The standard ISO 45001, applicable across the entire PORR Group, describes the requirements of a modern management system for occupational health and safety protection and replaces the former standard BS OHSAS 18001.
In the construction industry the use of building materials has a serious impact on the environment. This is why attention is paid to effective resource efficiency, better materials recycling and the development of new construction materials and building methods. PORR has set itself the goal of recycling as much as possible. Here the percentage of construction materials recycled should be increased and techniques that conserve resources should be developed. To this end, PORR owns facilities in which recycled construction materials and secondary raw materials can be produced in guaranteed quality. Materials that were previously classified as waste and consequently sent for landfill are now transformed into reusable construction materials.
To overcome challenges such as demographic shifts or the lack of skilled labour, PORR's main focus lies in personnel development. Individual support and development of strengths and skills should uphold high capabilities in innovation, secure employee knowhow and enhance the company's competitive ability.
In order to counter the prevailing shortage of skilled labour, PORR aims to attract the attention of school pupils through sector-relevant career fairs or via the media. The focus is on nurturing talent and providing fundamental training to tomorrow's experts. What's more, new digital media such as webinars and e-learning are increasingly being used in HR development. Training covers a wide variety of topics and ranges from communication basics via intercultural training through to legal issues such as employing foreign staff.
More details on HR development can be found in the Staff section.
The PORR compliance system is applied in every branch office. It covers all relevant aspects such as anti-bribery, fair competition, social dumping or disseminating information. Fair and transparent behaviour is the top priority at PORR, as unfair competition and dishonest business practices can not only damage the company's image, but also have a negative impact on the business location. PORR adopts the local commercial and tax practices in line with legislation and also has a Code of Ethics that is mandatory across the Group. Compliance lectures as well as anti-bribery and issuer-compliance training aims to raise awareness among staff in relation to compliance issues. PORR's compliance system is certified to national (ONR 192050) and international (ISO 19600, ISO 37001) standards.
Monitoring adherence to human rights is not always straightforward given the highly complex supply chains involving multiple subcontractors that are common to the industry. This is why, in addition to its clear commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact, PORR also has a Code of Ethics that must be upheld by everyone in the entire value chain. Issues such as child workers or forced labour are additionally addressed in the basic data forms filled out by suppliers. ISHAP, a system for checking and validating people's ID and documentation, was introduced to facilitate better monitoring of outside personnel and is being successively rolled out to the PORR markets.
Complex work processes mean that fair working practices and upholding legal stipulations is especially important in the construction industry. The Code of Ethics and the guidelines on avoiding illegal hiring and social dumping serve as a framework in this respect. Any breach in the supplier chain relating to social issues is recorded and evaluated in the supplier management system. PORR has a strong focus on further education and training, whereby the key goal is highly qualified in-house staff. It has also
adopted a range of measures to meet the changing requirements that employees expect of their employer.
As a future-focused employer with a high number of people from different cultures, PORR sees the diversity of its staff as a crucial success factor. This was also the motivation behind launching the diversity initiative "We@ PORR". On the one hand, the focus is on improving the backdrop for a better balance between one's professional and private life, on the other hand it's about addressing diversity-specific issues such as equal opportunities for all genders, age groups, people with disabilities, ethnic backgrounds etc. PORR implements targeted measures to enhance the motivation and performance of its employees as well as their social skills and talent for innovation.
Developing innovative solutions is essential in design and planning processes as well as during the construction itself. PORR is equally committed to the issue of recycling in terms of R&D. For example, methods for recycling a wide variety of waste types with different contamination levels are developed in the Environmental Lab. The goal here is to limit harmful reactions and to be able to send the waste for proper disposal. The challenge lies in the ever evolving combinations of pollutants. This requires investment both in new analytical equipment and in developing new methods to increase efficiency and to be able to make decisions based on economic and environmental criteria.
The IMF has forecast a slight slowdown in global economic growth for 2019. The reasons for this GDP growth of 3.5% lie in the ongoing trade conflicts and the Brexit debate, the expected tightening of monetary policy, as well as increasing capacity limitations in industry. Growth in the eurozone is also set to be moderate – the IMF predicts a GDP increase of 1.6%.1
The European construction markets on which PORR has focused its business activities continued to be part of a positive trend in 2018. This was reflected in the full order books and a renewed increase in employment figures. On the other hand, experts expect growth in 2019 to be more reticent than in previous years. The prevailing full capacity utilisation and ongoing lack of skilled labour, subcontractor shortages, rising construction prices and wage costs are serving as natural barriers to business activity expansions.2
While growth in 2018 was driven by residential construction, higher future growth rates are expected in civil engineering in particular. All five home markets should benefit from this market trend – especially in the field of infrastructure. At the same time, the public purse has far greater financial leeway than was the case several years ago3 . In Germany experts expect an increase in investments due to the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 – especially in traffic infrastructure4 . This trend has also been observed in Austria – ASFINAG (Austria's highways authority) alone is set to invest EUR 7.8 bn by 2023 in the new build, expansion and resurfacing of the existing road network5 . Significant investment is underway even in Switzerland, which already has a very well-developed railway network6 . Experts have forecast a sharp rise in construction volumes for Eastern and Central Europe in 2019, which will primarily be driven by the EU Structural Funds. Growth of 10.1% and 6.9% has been predicted for Poland and the Czech Republic respectively7 .
Despite a strong tailwind in terms of orders, the frame conditions in Europe are proving extremely challenging. The ongoing lack of skilled labour, subcontractor shortages, rising construction prices and wage costs are dampening expectations – and this applies to every PORR home market. This trend accelerated in 2018, especially in Poland, while an end to this development is difficult to foresee. This overheated situation on the labour market led to significant wage hikes in the period under review, along with logistics bottlenecks and increases in prices for raw materials and construction materials reaching doubledigit figures. On the other hand, the newly acquired orders already reflect the current price levels and thereby provide a basis for a healthy order situation.
The stable business performance in the period under review validated PORR's strategic approach. For 2019 the clear focus will once again be on operational excellence. On the basis of the aforementioned assumptions about the home markets and the high order backlog, the Executive Board is confident that it will be possible to achieve another moderate increase in 2019 on the high output level of EUR 5,593 bn.
PORR stands by its sustainable and reliable dividend policy. For the 2018 business year the Executive Board continues to assume that it will propose a dividend of

EUR 1.10 to the Annual General Meeting – unchanged against the previous year. With a dividend yield of around 6.3% based on the 2018 closing price, PORR remains one of the industry's top dividend stocks.
That said, the actual business performance may deviate from current forecasts on the basis of external political and economic factors and the seasonal nature of the construction industry.
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 potential. That's why the aim of risk management is to identify risks and then minimise them while still maintaining the company's earnings potential. The goal of risk management within PORR lies in developing and implementing the required organisational processes which help to pinpoint risks early on, as well as continuously developing or implementing any appropriate measures to counter those risks. Listed below are the most significant risks known to PORR, which can have a lasting influence on the financial position, cash flows and financial performance of the company.
Market risks result from changes to economic environments and frameworks in the important PORR markets. Furthermore, disparities between national economies cause a variation in demand across PORR's markets. PORR reacts to fluctuations in national markets and business segments and geopolitical uncertainty by concentrating on the home markets, namely Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. On the project markets of Qatar, UAE, Great Britain, Slovakia, Romania and Norway and in future on the target markets of Sweden and Denmark, PORR only offers export products for selected projects in the fields of tunnelling, railway construction and specialised foundation engineering.
There are multiple aspects to this risk. On the one hand, the construction industry is a very energy-intensive sector. The high energy consumption and subsequent emissions are primarily caused by operating construction sites and for goods transport. This is why PORR is committed to energy efficiency in equipment and fleet management, as well as improved transport logistics and, wherever possible, to renewable energy.
On the other hand, construction activity requires a great deal of construction materials and resources. Here PORR strives for resource efficiency and focuses on improvements to reusing materials and recycling construction waste.
These apply to all PORR operating units and can be qualified in terms of calculation and execution risks. From the tender stage to the conclusion of a contract, all projects are assessed for specific technical, commercial and legal risks. This is carried out in close collaboration between the parties responsible for operations and the risk managers with the aid of risk checklists. Ongoing target/performance comparisons are carried out during the project execution stage of all projects. If the project is outside the target parameters, then appropriate control measures are initiated, monitored by the risk managers as part of a regular process, and assessed with regard to results.
Successful management of risks related to human resources is crucial to the development of PORR. Staff risks arise from employee fluctuations and loss of expertise, as well as shortages of skilled labour, management and young talent. This is why PORR's activities are targeted towards steadily developing staff skills through efficient training measures and increasing PORR's appeal as an employer through career opportunities and incentive schemes. PORR deals with the increasingly fierce competition for highly qualified specialists and managers by optimising recruitment measures and through targeted employer branding.
Further details on staff and social issues can be found in the 2018 Sustainability Report. .
In the construction industry there are risks of potential incidents related to occupational safety or worker health. Serious incidents, a loss of reputation or legal consequences can also arise when handling hazardous substances and if the appropriate regulations are not upheld.
This is why PORR pursues a clearly defined prevention strategy with the goal of reducing accident rates by 2020. Detailed information is given in the separate 2018 Sustainability Report.
Managing financial risks, in particular liquidity risks, interest rate risks and currency risks is carried out by the Treasury division and governed by standard Group guidelines. To minimise the risks as far as possible, certain derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments are used in line with evaluations. In general only operational risks are hedged and no speculative transactions are conducted. All hedge transactions are performed centrally by the Group treasury. An internal control system (ICS) designed around current requirements has been implemented to monitor and control risks linked to money market and foreign exchange trading. The cornerstone of managing these risks is the complete functional separation of commerce, processing and accounting. The most important risks for PORR in terms of finance – liquidity risks, interest rate risks and currency risks – are described below in more detail.
The liquidity risk is defined as the risk that liabilities cannot be paid upon maturity. Managing the liquidity risk is based on a financial plan updated once a quarter, which originates at operational level. For all projects, a designated commercial employee conducts individual and monthly planning for the current year and for the subsequent years. The operational component involves planning all cash-related financial issues such as due dates for financing, M&A and capital market transactions, interest and dividends; this is performed centrally at holding level with the person holding Group responsibility.
At year-end 2018 the Group had a liquidity level of EUR 319.7m; this liquidity is used on the one hand for the seasonal peak liquidity demand from April to November (typical to the construction industry), as well as for settling loans due, Schuldscheindarlehen tranches and bonds, and potential corporate acquisitions. Should additional liquidity demand arise, this could provisionally be covered by drawing on existing lines of credit.
As of 31 December 2018 net debt, defined as the balance from cash and cash equivalents, securities under current assets, bonds and current and non-current financial liabilities, amounted to EUR 150.2m (2017: EUR 147.4m).
The Group has access to European credit lines totalling EUR 3,031.7m (2017: EUR 2,683.5m). Of these credit lines, EUR 1,095.0m (2017: EUR 976.1m) was concluded with a term of at least three years. The remainder of EUR 1,936.7m (2017: EUR 1,707.4m) generally runs for a oneyear term. Furthermore, there were credit lines in several Arabic countries of EUR 670.3m (2017: EUR 599.5m). As of 31 December 2018, around 58% (2017: 60%) of the European credit lines had been drawn on, as had around 52% (2017: 11%) of the lines in Arabic countries.
The Group's interest rate risk is defined as the risk from rising interest cost or falling interest income in connection with financial items. For PORR this risk results primarily from the scenario of rises in interest rates, especially in the short term. Any future hedge transactions that are required will be concluded by the Group treasury. At the end of the reporting period, the management of this risk was conducted with non-derivative instruments as well as three interest rate swaps (IRS) totalling EUR 123.0m and three IRS with start dates in the future totalling EUR 155.0m. All derivative hedges are designated as cash-flow hedges. All IRS relate to swapping variable interest flows for fixed interest flows. As of 31 December 2018 the market value of the IRS had a fair value of EUR -1.8m.
The management emphasis with regard to foreign currency risks relates to hedging exchange rate risks of future incoming or outgoing payments conducted in a foreign currency and which either relate to payments by clients or suppliers, or convert intragroup financing into the respective national currency of the borrower.
PORR had concluded forward exchange contracts of EUR 148.8m as of 31 December 2018 (2017: EUR 185.4m); of these, EUR 75.3m were forward purchases and EUR 73.5m were forward sales. Around EUR 72.9m (2017: EUR 83.8m) is used as hedges for project cash flows and the remainder of EUR 75.9m (2017: EUR 101.7m) for hedging intragroup financing.
As of 31 December 2018 the market valuation of open forward exchange contracts resulted in a fair value of EUR 2.2m. In the fiscal year 2018 total expense of EUR 1.5m, which resulted from changes in the fair value of forward contracts, was recognised in profit or loss.
PORR's procurement market is subdivided into three parts – subcontractors, materials and operating materials. Individual risk mitigation measures are implemented in the company for each of these areas. In terms of subcontractors, attempts are made to achieve price security by establishing long-term, collaborative project work and, if possible, longstanding framework contracts. In addition, the purchasing department strives to secure maximum risk mitigation through the selection and diversity of providers of various trades. In the materials sector, long-term supplier agreements are the primary factor in price continuity. That said, individual price fluctuations in certain groups of goods cannot be completely ruled out. With regard to operating materials, PORR has maximised price advantages by establishing a Group-wide purchasing department. With a procurement structure divided into a lead buyer and a local buyer system, not only are economies of scale exploited, but local maximisation options are also implemented. All of this helps to mitigate the purchasing risk.
Specific to the industry, construction contracts require advance outlay by the general contractor which will not be covered by payments until a later date. To reduce the default risk, an extensive creditworthiness check is carried out and adequate sureties are agreed as far as possible. The default risk related to other primary financial instruments recorded as assets is also considered marginal, as the contract partners are financial institutes and other debtors with good credit standing. The carrying amount of all financial assets represents the maximum default risk. In as far as default risks on financial assets are possible to determine, these risks are addressed by applying impairment. There are high unsettled receivables for infrastructure projects from government-related companies in Austria and Germany. Apart from these, there are no other risk concentrations related to the operating business arising from high outstanding amounts from individual debtors.
The fundamental aim of the Group's capital management is to substantially increase equity and to keep debt low.
In the year under review PORR succeeded in increasing equity by around EUR 21.2m It was thereby possible to broadly maintain the equity ratio at 19.9% despite the 8.0% growth in total assets. Both non-current and current liabilities subject to interest were reduced, by EUR 17.0m and EUR 19.3m respectively.
As of 31 December 2018 net debt, defined as the balance of cash and cash equivalents, bonds and current and non-current financial liabilities, totalled EUR 150.2m (2017: EUR 147.4m) and was thereby at a similar level to the previous year.
The net gearing ratio, defined as net financial debt divided by equity, is applied for the control of capital management. In 2018 net gearing stood at 0.24 (2017: 0.25).
Unfair competition and dishonest business practices can damage the company's image and subsequently impair the business location. The complex supplier chain means that upholding compliance guidelines is especially important and these are applied in every PORR branch office. They cover every aspect of compliance such as anti-corruption, social dumping and disseminating information. PORR is not represented in any countries that rank highly on the Corruption Index of Transparency International.
The focal points of PORR's compliance organisation include preventing bribery, corruption and antitrust violations. In general, there is a risk of violating valid CSR guidelines in local legislation in the respective countries.
PORR's internal control system (ICS) is oriented towards the EU standards which have been compulsory since 2009 and whose aim is to produce comparable evaluations of the efficacy of the ICS. Furthermore, PORR is dedicated to securing the company's assets, guaranteeing the actual effects and efficiency of operational processes and ensuring the reliability of financial reporting.
The responsibility for implementing and adhering to legal stipulations for the accounting-related internal control system lies with the Executive Board, which has in turn charged the management accounting department with internal auditing and the external accounting department with external reporting tasks.
The internal control system involves assessing operational risks as well as the appropriate implementation of organisational standards and processes across all areas of accounting and reporting within PORR. The internal control system in PORR ensures that the recording, preparation and accounting of business transactions are standardised across the Group and incorporated correctly into Group accounting. Measures such as clear, Group-internal guidelines, predefined process directives and system-supported processes for recording accounting data all support a uniform and orderly accounting practice. The reporting of subsidiaries included in the consolidated accounts as well as their consolidation is carried out using integrated IT systems supported by databases. The relevant requirements for guaranteeing correct accounting practices are laid out in uniform Group methods of accounting and valuation and disseminated regularly. The clear functional separation and various control and monitoring methods such as plausibility checks, regular auditing activities at various reporting levels and the dual-control principle mean that proper and reliable accounting is assured. The systematic controls ensure that accounting in PORR conforms to international accounting standards and internal guidelines and guarantees the proper and uniform execution of all accounting-related processes. Within the internal control system, the audit committee takes on the Supervisory Board's task of monitoring accounting processes and financial reporting. The compliance management system and the internal audit team also guarantee the effectiveness of the ICS by independently monitoring its impacts with the aim of improving business processes.
The internal audit of PORR was most recently externally certified on 22 November 2018 by Crowe SOT advisory, audit & tax GmbH in accordance with IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) standards, thereby conforming to internationally recognised stipulations. The internal auditors have comprehensive audit powers, including both preventative and exploratory controls, at their disposal to enable them to realise their duties. The audit activities of the internal auditors are carried out to a yearly audit plan directly on behalf of the Group Executive Board. In addition, ad-hoc audits can be initiated at any time at the request of the Executive Board should events occur that may yield risks. PORR's aim is to continue developing the internal control system and to keep it constantly updated to conform to changing framework conditions and new Group guidelines. In addition, PORR has had its comprehensive Compliance Management System audited and certified by Austrian Standards in accordance with ISO 19600 and ONR 192050 and also holds an Anti-Bribery certificate in line with ISO 37001.
PORR Bau GmbH has branch offices in the Austrian provinces of Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, Carinthia and Upper Austria, as well as branch offices in Hungary, Montenegro, Romania, Albania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, England, Norway (indirectly via PORR S.A.), the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Please see the list of shareholdings with regard to the subsidiaries.
The same legally standardised rights and obligations apply to all ordinary shares. In particular, ordinary shares confer voting rights exercised according to the number of shares and participate equally in profit and, in the event of winding up, in the remaining liquidation proceeds. The share capital of the company is fully paid in. As of 31 December 2018 the company directly and indirectly held a total of 216,495 treasury shares or 0.74% of the share capital. In accordance with Section 95 Paragraph 5 of the Stock Exchange Act, the company does not have any rights, particularly voting rights, from the treasury shares.
In line with Section 5 Paragraph 2 of the company statues, shares from future capital increases can be bearer shares or registered shares. If the resolution authorising the capital increase does not specify whether the shares are to be bearer shares or registered shares, they will be bearer shares. In accordance with Section 5 Paragraph 3 of the company statues and Section 10 Paragraph 2 of the Stock Corporation Act, shares are to be issued in one, or where necessary multiple, global certificate(s) and deposited at a securities clearing or deposit bank in accordance with Section 1 Paragraph 3 of the Austrian Act on Securities Deposits, or at an equivalent facility abroad. The company has met this obligation. All of the share certificates previously in circulation were declared invalid, in line with the respective legal regulations.
A syndicate agreement is in place between the Strauss Group and the IGO-Ortner Group. The Chairman of the Executive Board is aware of this syndicate agreement, as the Strauss Group, which is led by the PROSPERO Privatstiftung, is under his control. The Executive Board as a whole has no knowledge of the content of the syndicate agreement from his function as a Board Member. Resolutions passed by the syndicate oblige the syndicate members to exercise their voting rights. There is a reciprocal acquisition right.
The following shareholders had a direct or indirect holding in the capital of at least ten percent in the form of ordinary shares as of 31 December 2018:
| % of share capital | of which syndicated |
|
|---|---|---|
| IGO-Ortner Group | 38.77% | 38.52% |
| Strauss Group | 16.21% | 15.18% |
The Strauss Group includes SuP Beteiligungs GmbH, which is wholly and directly attributed to the PROSPERO Privatstiftung, which is under the control of Karl Heinz Strauss, Chairman of the Executive Board. Regarding the shares of the IGO-Ortner Group, the majority are directly and indirectly held by Klaus Ortner.
The company has no shares with special rights of control.
The company has no employee share ownership plans under which employees do not exercise voting rights directly.
In accordance with Section 6 Paragraph 1 of the company statues, the Executive Board consists of between two and six people. In line with Section 6 Paragraph 2 of the company statutes, the Supervisory Board can appoint deputies to the Executive Board. In line with Section 6 Paragraph 3 of the company statutes, the Supervisory Board can name one member as the Chairman and one member as the Deputy Chairman. Any deputy Executive Board members have the same powers of representation as the regular Executive Board members.
In line with Section 9 Paragraph 1 of the company statutes, the Supervisory Board is composed of at least three and not more than twelve members appointed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). In line with Section 9 Paragraph 8 of the statutes, a replacement member can be appointed at the same time as the appointment of a Supervisory Board member takes place, in which case the replacement member would take up their seat on the Supervisory Board effective immediately if the Supervisory Board member steps down before the end of their time in office. If multiple replacement members are appointed, the order in which they are to replace a Supervisory Board member who steps down must be determined. A replacement member can also be appointed as a replacement for multiple Supervisory Board members, so that they take a seat on the Supervisory Board if any one of these members steps down prematurely. The term of office of a replacement member who joins the Supervisory Board is terminated as soon as a successor to the former Supervisory Board member has been appointed, or at the latest when the remainder of the former Supervisory Board member's time in office comes to an end. Should the term of office of a replacement member who joins the Supervisory Board be terminated because a successor to the former Supervisory Board member has been appointed, the replacement member still serves as a replacement for the additional Supervisory Board members they have been chosen to represent. In line with Section 9 Paragraph 2 of the statutes, the AGM can determine a shorter period in office than legally stipulated for individual Supervisory Board members or all of the members it appoints. Should certain members leave the Board before the end of their term in office, in line with Section 9 Paragraph 6 of the statutes, a vote to replace them is not required until the next AGM. However, a replacement vote is required at an extraordinary general meeting, to be held within six weeks, if the number of Supervisory Board members falls below three. In line with Section 9 Paragraph 4 of the statutes, the appointment of a member of the Supervisory Board can be rescinded before the end of their time in office by AGM resolution requiring a simple majority of votes cast. In accordance with Section 19 Paragraph 1 of the company statues, resolutions of the AGM are passed by simple majority of the votes present, unless another type of majority is proscribed by law; in cases where a capital majority is required, a simple majority of the share capital representatives is required for resolutions. From the legal viewpoint of the Executive Board, this statutory regulation has reduced the necessary majority of at least three quarters of the share capital represented in voting as required by the Stock Corporation Act, also for changes to the statutes, to a simple capital majority (except in the case of changes to the business purpose).
i) if the capital increase is in exchange for consideration in kind or

exercising this entitlement.
Effective as of 31 December 2018, the Executive Board is authorised, in accordance with the resolution of the AGM dated 29 May 2018, to acquire treasury shares over a 30-month period from the date of the resolution, in line with Section 65 Paragraph 1 Lines 4 and 8 and Paragraphs 1 a and 1b Stock Corporation Act, up to the legally permitted amount of 10% of share capital including treasury shares already purchased, also under application of the repeated exploitation of the 10% limit. The equivalent amount to be paid in the buyback may not be less than EUR 1.00 or higher than a maximum of 10% over the average, unweighted share price at closing on the stock exchange on the ten stock-exchange days preceding the buyback. The purchase can be conducted on the stock exchange or through a public offering or in another legally permitted way, particularly over-the-counter, especially also from individual shareholders who are willing to sell (negotiated purchase) and also under the exclusion of shareholders' pro rata tender rights. In addition, the Executive Board is authorised to specify any conditions relating to the buyback that can be attached to this type of purchase. The authorisation can be exercised in full or in stages and also in multiple tranches for one or more purposes, by the Group, by a subsidiary (Section 189a Austrian Commercial Code) or by third parties acting for the company. Trading treasury shares is not permitted as a purpose for the buyback.
The Executive Board is authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to sell or use treasury shares for a five-year period starting from the resolution of the AGM on 24 May 2016, using a method different from sale on the stock exchange or public offering. The authorisation can be exercised in whole or in part, also in multiple amounts and for one or more purposes. The pro rata purchase right of shareholders upon sale or use of a different kind on the stock exchange or public offering is excluded (exclusion of pre-emptive rights).
On the basis of this authorisation, 22,548 shares were acquired from the wholly owned subsidiary EPS Absberggasse 47 Projektmanagement GmbH in 2018. This corresponds to 0.0775% of the share capital.
In 2013 the company issued a bond (debenture) of EUR 50,000,000 (for the period from 2013–2018). This bond was redeemed in full in 2018. Furthermore, in 2014 the company resolved to implement an offer programme worth EUR 250,000,000 to issue partial debentures: it offered the opportunity to exchange bonds from 2009 and 2010 for a newly issued senior bond and a hybrid bond. The exchange offer was accepted for the senior bond in respect of a nominal amount of EUR 56.3m and for the hybrid bond in respect of a nominal amount of EUR 17.1m. The hybrid bond 2014 was increased to EUR 25.0m in 2015. Both the 2013 debentures and the 2014 senior bond incorporate the following agreement: if a change of control (as defined in the bond conditions) takes place, every bond creditor shall be entitled to accelerate maturity of their debentures and demand immediate repayment at the nominal value, including interest accrued up to the date of repayment. In 2017 an additional hybrid bond for EUR 125m was issued. The 2014 and 2017 hybrid bonds contain the following regulation that in case of a change in control (as defined in the bond conditions),
i) the interest rate of the hybrid bond shall increase by 5.00% p. a. and
In 2015 the company issued Schuldscheindarlehen in four tranches with a maturity term of three and five years and totalling EUR 185.5m. These Schuldscheindarlehen were partially paid back in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and partially extended until 2024. The Schuldscheindarlehen totalled EUR 177m as of 31 December 2018. The Schuldscheindarlehen contracts include the following agreement: where a change of control takes place (as defined in the Schuldscheindarlehen contracts), every creditor shall be entitled to call due an amount corresponding to his/her stake in the Schuldscheindarlehen and demand immediate repayment of this capital contribution at the nominal value, plus interest accrued up to the date of repayment.
The company also has three framework guarantee credit contracts for EUR 295,000,000 (valid until 3 January 2020), EUR 180,000,000 (valid until 27 September 2019) and EUR 180,000,000 (valid until 29 June 2019), which contain the following agreements: should one or more people, who at the time of signing the relevant contract do not hold a share or a controlling share, attain a controlling share, as defined in Section 22 of the Austrian Takeover Act, in the beneficiary or a significant Group company (as defined in the contracts), then the agent and the individual lenders are entitled to immediately rescind the respective shares (with regard to their respective shares in the guarantee credit contract) of the framework tranches.
The company has two loan agreements in the amount of EUR 67,400,000 (with a term to 30 June 2023) and EUR 55,000,000 (with a term to 30 June 2023), which
contain the following agreement: should one or more people, who at the time of signing the relevant contract do not hold a share or a controlling share, attain a controlling share, as defined in Section 22 of the Austrian Takeover Act, the individual lenders are entitled to immediately rescind the loan agreements. There were no other significant agreements under the terms of Section 243a, Paragraph 1, Line 8 of the Commercial Code.

The segment Business Unit 1 – Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic (BU 1) covers PORR's permanent business on the three home markets of Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. PORR is represented here with its entire service range. The focus is primarily on residential and office construction, industrial and road construction and specialist civil engineering. In addition to a wide range of services in building construction and civil engineering, BU 1 is also home to structural and foundation engineering and various equity interests (including IAT, BOMA and ÖBA). Also included are the fields of structural engineering in Germany, large-scale building construction projects on all international markets and the raw materials business.
With production output of EUR 2,741m, BU 1 built on the high level of the previous year by 12.9% or EUR 313m. Here the strongest growth was generated by the Czech Republic, partly because of the acquisition of Alpine Bau CZ a.s. German industrial construction and large-scale building construction projects also achieved significant increases. The main contribution in Austria came from the federal provinces of Vienna, Styria and Salzburg. EBT declined by 7.5% or EUR 4.5m to reach EUR 55.6m. While the operating units in Austria continued their very positive performance, certain projects abroad put pressure on earnings, whereby a slight decrease was recorded overall.
At the end of the reporting period the order backlog stood at EUR 2,158m, rising by EUR 61m or 2.9%. The largest contributor to the order books in absolute terms was the Vienna branch office; added to this were significant contracts from Switzerland and the Czech Republic. In 2018 BU 1 achieved an order intake totalling EUR 2,802m. With an increase of 0.7% or EUR 19m, the intake held steady.
The largest new order in the period under review was the Töging am Inn power plant including the Jettenbach weir system, followed by the Franklin Tower project at Oerlikon Station in Zurich. Multiple residential and office construction projects were also acquired, especially in Austria, such as building the QBC 1 + 2 office complex. Major road construction contracts were acquired in all three home markets, including the modernisation of the A2 motorway near Grimmenstein and the A10 between Urstein and Hallein.
The market situation is challenging in every country. PORR is countering the increasing lack of skilled labour and rising construction costs with a policy of selective project acquisition and by securing subcontractor services early on.
The well-filled order books on all three home markets as well as the strong market position in Austria give BU 1 confidence for the year 2019. What's more, the acquisition of Alpine Bau CZ a. s. including its asphalt mix plants provides key strategic advantages in the Czech Republic. This has also enabled PORR to acquire qualified personnel in order to exploit opportunities in traffic construction even more effectively in the future.
Experts predict that growth will continue in the future, albeit not at the same level. Civil engineering is set to remain a growth driver on all three markets. The Austrian construction sector finds itself in a favourable economic phase1 . The housing offensive, the investment plan by ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) and the recently announced infrastructure programme by ASFINAG (Austria's highways authority) all point to ongoing demand in the construction sector2 . A similar picture can be seen in Switzerland, although there the surplus demand in residential construction is lowering expectations. This stands in contrast to the federal infrastructure funds, which are increasing investment in civil engineering yet again3 . With a growth rate of 10.0% in 2018, the Czech Republic is becoming more attractive4 . Here the public sector plans to invest EUR 1.6 bn a year by 2020 in expanding and modernising existing transport infrastructure. In addition, residential construction and a BIM initiative for public tender processes are being subsidised by the state5 .

The segment Business Unit 2 – Germany (BU 2) encompasses PORR's activities in Germany. On its second largest market, the company offers foundation and structural engineering in addition to building construction and civil engineering. The acquisitions in recent years have given PORR a strong presence on the infrastructure market with its own highly qualified, expert personnel. Building construction activities were reorganised in 2018 by bundling resources and knowhow along regional lines. Four strong regional centres, namely East (via Berlin), South (via Munich), North (via Hamburg) and West (via PORR Oevermann), have facilitated efficiency increases in operational processes as well as more streamlined management structures.
In 2018 BU 2 generated production output of EUR 927m, thereby achieving an increase of EUR 186m or 25.0%. The sharpest rises were secured by the fields of structural engineering, PORR Oevermann and building construction in the South region. The significant growth in production output can be explained by the high order backlog at the start of the year and the corporate acquisitions from 2017. Following a loss in the previous year, EBT was positive at EUR 1.9m. Every sector made a good contribution to earnings with the exception of building construction.
There was a moderate rise in the order backlog of 4.6% or EUR 69m; it totalled EUR 1,568m at year-end. Here the strongest growth came from structural engineering, while the Stump and building construction for the South region also increased. This contrasted with the situation in new orders. As a result of a selective acquisition policy, the order intake decreased by EUR 584m or 37.0%. It totalled EUR 995m in the period under review.
The largest new order of BU 2 in 2018 was the FAIR ring accelerator in Darmstadt. In addition to this structural engineering order, PORR acquired numerous residential construction contracts such as the NOC apartment building in Munich's Regerstraße and a project in Thulestraße, Berlin. Furthermore, it won the tender for the A66 road construction contract near Wiesbaden and for converting a Palais in Berlin's Ministergärten into a residential and commercial building.
The German construction sector grew by 1.3% in the period under review and experts expect it to stabilise at its current level for the medium term1 . Growth drivers in road and rail construction are expected in particular from the 2030 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan. This includes the expansion of the German infrastructure network along with some new-build sections2 . In building construction demand for new housing is unabated3 .
Despite the strong demand, the construction industry faces increasingly fraught market conditions. Subcontractor bottlenecks and a lack of skilled labour are limiting growth. In addition, growing price pressure is being felt in terms of both labour and raw materials. Construction industry price indexes show cost hikes of over 7.0%4 .
In addition to a selective approach to new projects, in 2019 BU 2 will focus on operational excellence and consolidating its activities. Continuous risk analysis will be carried out while realising projects in order to guarantee a healthy performance that is also sustainable.

The segment Business Unit 3 – International (BU 3) covers the project business on the home market of Poland as well as the project markets of the Nordic region, Qatar, UAE, Slovakia, Romania and Great Britain. In Poland and Romania PORR offers construction services in building construction and civil engineering, while this is complemented by foundation engineering in Poland. The competencies for tunnelling, rail and bridge construction are also bundled in BU 3.
The production output of BU 3 totalled EUR 1,617m. The sharp increase of EUR 309m or 23.7% mainly resulted from large-scale projects in Poland. In addition, Slovakia achieved a three-fold increase in output – partly because of a large-scale project – while international tunnelling also grew. EBT reached EUR 22.6m and was EUR 4.2m or 16.0% below the level of the previous year. The decrease was caused by the high cost pressure, especially on the home market of Poland.
There was a significant improvement in the order situation of BU 3. This was largely attributable to the newly acquired large-scale order for the Brenner Base Tunnel. The order backlog thereby climbed by EUR 589m or 23.0% – the highest growth recorded so far in this segment. At the end of the year it stood at EUR 3,150m. The order intake reached EUR 2,207m and increased by EUR 566m or 34.5%.
In addition to the tender for the largest lot of the Brenner Base Tunnel, BU 3 also acquired numerous orders in traffic construction. Large-scale contracts such as the approx. 16km-long S3 expressway between Bolków and Kamienna Góra, the 23km-long S61 between Szczucyn and Elk and the 21km-long S6 between Bozepole and Luzino were acquired in addition to railway construction orders such as the LK 93 rail line between Czechowice Dziedzice and Oświęcim.
The need for investment in Polish infrastructure remains unwaveringly strong. The EU Cohesion Fund is supporting the upgrade and expansion of the infrastructure network by 20201 . That said, the labour market has significantly overheated here and this is coupled with bottlenecks in logistics. Some increases in costs for materials and transport have reached the double-digit range. This remains the largest challenge faced by BU 3
Experts expect further double-digit growth in the Polish construction sector in 2019. Civil engineering is seen as the growth driver here2 . PORR is mitigating the challenging market environment with selective order acquisition.
The North and East European project markets of BU 3 offer numerous opportunities in the infrastructure sector. Here PORR's focus is on its core competencies in international tunnelling and railway construction. This is an area in which – in addition to its strong knowhow in underground construction, both in conventional tunnelling with shotcrete and high-tech mechanical boring – PORR holds the patent for the Slab Track Austria system. More and more international clients have come to rely on this system and it has led to numerous contracts in Austria, Germany and Qatar in recent years. PORR remains committed to Qatar and UAE and is carefully evaluating emerging market potential.

Business Unit 4 – Environmental Engineering, Healthcare & Services (BU 4) focuses on competencies in niche areas, thereby expanding the value chain across the entire lifecycle of a structure. In addition to PORR Umwelttechnik, this segment is home to the equity interests Prajo, TKDZ and PWW, hospitals, PORREAL and STRAUSS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, Thorn, ALU-SOMMER and PORR Infra, as well as all activities related to PPP.
As of 1 January 2019 BU 4 will be integrated into BU 1 following to the implementation of the new organisational structure.
In 2018 BU 4 once again managed to increase its production output. With growth of 8.1% or EUR 19m, it generated total output of EUR 244m. Here PORR Umwelttechnik made the greatest contribution, while associated companies in PORR Beteiligungen und Management also achieved major growth. EBT performed well in the period under review and grew to EUR 7.1m. The increase of EUR 0.8m or 12.3% was faster than the rise in output. A significant share of earnings was generated by PORR Umwelttechnik.
The order situation of BU 4 was positive. The order backlog stood at EUR 184m at the end of the reporting period, thereby growing by 48.1% or EUR 60m. The primary contributors were PORR Umwelttechnik, ALU SOMMER and PORREAL. Rising by EUR 70m or 30.1%, the order intake grew to EUR 303m, the bulk of which came from PORR Umwelttechnik.
BU 4's largest new orders included the earthworks on multiple residential complexes as well as a project for sludge incineration. In addition, BU 4 acquired significant preparatory and follow-up works at the site Sabimo Monte Laa and on the Semmering Base Tunnel.
The current synergic effects with BU 1 will be utilised even more efficiently after the integration of BU 4. Commissioning of preliminary and follow-up projects will round off the range of services offered by BU 1.
The largest part of BU 4, namely PORR Umwelttechnik, continues to find itself in a growth business area. The Paris Climate Agreement has boosted this sector once again1 . With the help of research and development, PORR is set to continue to succeed in exploiting market potential in this area.

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 deals mainly with the planning and execution of a whole range of building construction activities.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Art. 245a of the Austrian Commercial Code in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union and in accordance with the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The reporting currency is the euro, which is also the functional currency of PORR AG and of the majority of the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements. Results preceded by the abbreviation TEUR are in euro thousand.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared with the closing date of 31 December and relate to the business year from 1 January to 31 December. The majority of numerical entries are rounded up or down to the nearest thousand (TEUR) and may result in rounding differences.
In addition to PORR AG, 77 (previous year: 72) domestic subsidiaries and 69 (previous year: 69) foreign subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. For one company the Group only holds 49% of the shares, however, the remainder of the shares are held in trust for PORR and the company is therefore included in the consolidated group. Nine (previous year: ten) companies are no longer included in the consolidated group, whereby four companies were eliminated through intragroup mergers.
For two companies the number of shares sold meant that only significant influence remains and these were accounted for under the equity method. Two companies were liquidated, while one company was sold off in full. The purchase price of TEUR 1,236 was settled in cash. The assets and liabilities where control was lost break down as follows:
| 2018 | |
|---|---|
| Non-current assets | |
| Property, plant and equipment | 33 |
| Deferred tax assets | 253 |
| Current assets | |
| Inventories | 37 |
| Trade receivables | 1,579 |
| Other financial assets | 132 |
| Other receivables and current assets | 396 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 69 |

| Current financial liabilities | -224 |
| Trade payables | -1,271 |
| Other current financial liabilities | -744 |
| Other current liabilities | -243 |
| Tax payables | -38 |
Gains on sale amounting to TEUR 1,359 were recognised in income/expenses from financial assets. The fair value measurement of the remaining equity stake led to a gain of TEUR 1,235 and is recognised in companies accounted for under the equity method.
In these consolidated financial statements the following 14 companies were consolidated for the first time:
| Because of new foundations | Date of initial consolidation |

The acquisition of PHF Verwaltungsgesellschaft Seevetal GmbH i.L. comprises the purchase of a shell company that does not represent a business combination pursuant to IFRS 3. TEUR 1,000 was used for the purchase and was settled in cash; there was an influx to assets of TEUR 2,403 in cash and cash equivalents.
TEUR 36 was used for the purchase of 100% of PORR Infra GmbH. The purchase price was settled in cash. The company operates in the areas of development, execution, maintenance and trading with electronic devices and equipment in the infrastructure sector, especially in traffic and tunnel technology and tunnel fittings. The purchase price was allocated to the Group's assets and liabilities as follows:

| Other intangible assets | 14 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 128 |

TEUR 3,530 was used for the purchase of 100% of Alpine Bau CZ a.s. and its subsidiaries (ALPINE Bau CZ Group). The purchase price was settled in cash. Furthermore, there is an earn-out clause that caps an additional purchase price at TEUR 500 in relation to the final inflows from two projects. The earn-out clause has been valued at TEUR 500. The group operates in project development and delivering construction services. The purchase price was allocated to the Group's assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 3.45 as follows:
| 2018 | |
|---|---|
| Non-current assets | |
| Goodwill | 12,220 |
| Other intangible assets | 157 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 10,562 |

| Deferred tax assets | 1,214 |
| Current assets | |
| Inventories | 368 |
| Trade receivables | 30,558 |
| Other financial assets | 1,204 |
| Other receivables and current assets | 926 |

| Non-current liabilities | |
| Non-current financial liabilities | -2,697 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | -1,220 |
| Current liabilities | |

| Trade payables | -20,138 |
| Other current financial liabilities | -6,913 |
| Other current liabilities | -10,256 |
| Purchase price | 4,030 |
The acquisition of the Alpine Bau CZ Group led to the application of goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, as the purchase price includes the benefits of synergic effects, particularly key strategic advantages in road construction in the Czech Republic. The purchase price allocation shall be considered provisional, especially as regards contract assets, shareholdings in companies accounted for under the equity method and provisions.
The initial consolidation of the companies contributed TEUR -2,906 to earnings before taxes for the period and TEUR 15,615 to revenue. Assuming a notional date of first-time consolidation of 1 January 2018, Group revenue would change by TEUR 6,141 because of PORR Infra GmbH and earnings by TEUR -2,712, while the Alpine Bau CZ Group would cause a change in revenue of TEUR 42,735 and in EBT of TEUR -20,552.
Regarding the acquisition of the Hinteregger Group concluded in the 2017 business year, the purchase price allocation was finalised in 2018, whereby the fair value of property, plant and equipment (TEUR -1,194), liabilities for the earn-out clause II (TEUR 548) and goodwill were adjusted in the amount of TEUR 1,742.
Furthermore, 44 (previous year: 45) domestic and 35 (previous year: 27) foreign associates and joint ventures were valued using the equity method. The consolidated subsidiaries and companies accounted for under the equity method are shown in the list of shareholdings (see appendix). Companies which are of minor significance for the consolidated financial statements are not included. Nine (previous year: 10) subsidiaries and 28 (previous year: 28) shareholdings in associates and joint ventures were therefore not included in the consolidation or accounted for under the equity method; this primarily relates to general partner companies.
The Group applied the following standards for the first time as of 1 January 2018, whereby only the first-time application of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments had a significant impact.

The impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 mainly relate to:
The objective of IFRS 15 is to bring together a range of requirements that were previously contained in different standards and interpretations. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework. The model specifies that revenue is recognised as control is passed (control approach), either over time or at a point in time and thereby replaces the previously applied risk and reward model (transfer of risks and rewards). Furthermore, the scope of the requisite disclosures in the notes has been expanded.
For its initial application, PORR has chosen the cumulative adjustment approach IFRS 15.C3(b). This means that the effects for the first-time application as of 1 January 2018 are recognised directly in equity and do not therefore require any retrospective adjustments to the comparative figures for 2017. Therefore the standards valid up until this point in time, IAS 18 and IAS 11, continue to apply to the comparative period.
The following table shows the net impact on the retained earnings statement of financial position as of 1 January 2018 from the first-time application of IFRS 15:

Description of revenues and impacts of first-time application based on type of revenue:
The following shows the impacts of the first-time application compared to the previously applied accounting and measurement methods on the different types of revenue at PORR:
In general, revenue continues to be realised over the period of the service rendered under application of the POC method; this also applies for revenues from customer contracts being realised in consortiums. The method for determining the level of completion remains unchanged. Should appropriate conditions be met, multiple contracts are aggregated and measured together from across the Group with the aid of benchmarks. Subsequent amounts shall be applied when it is highly probable that they will not lead to a reversal of the revenues already recognised. Invoices for advance payments are provided in line with a predefined payment plan that broadly corresponds to progress made on the construction project. In individual cases, the payment plans include a financing component that is recognised separately in the financing result as interest income.
Projects with different margins are aggregated and this can result in minimal time lags in recognising revenue. No changes have resulted in relation to recognising prepayments; there were no financing components.
Revenues from landfill operations are realised at a point in time. No significant changes to the previously applied accounting and valuation methods have resulted from the first-time application.
Revenues from the sale of raw materials are realised at a point in time. No significant changes to the previously applied accounting and valuation methods have resulted from the first-time application.
Service revenues from property management are realised over a period of time. No significant changes to the previously applied accounting and valuation methods have resulted from the first-time application.
The standard includes requirements for the recognition, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments as well as for hedge accounting and replaces the previously applicable standard IAS 39.
The transitional provisions of IFRS 9 only permit a retrospective adjustment in accordance with IAS 8 in exceptional cases (hedges). What this means for PORR is that the effects of the first-time application as of 1 January 2018 are recognised directly in equity and do not therefore require any retrospective adjustments to the comparative figures for 2017. Therefore the standard valid up until this point in time, IAS 39, continues to apply to the comparative period. The first-time application of IFRS 9 has had no impact on retained earnings.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the impacts from the first-time application of IFRS 9 on the consolidated income statement and the statement of comprehensive income for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018.

IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model with the expected credit loss model. The new model is applicable for financial instruments recognised at amortised cost, for contract assets (IFRS 15) and debt instruments recognised at fair value directly in equity, as well as lease receivables (IAS 17/IFRS 16).
Financial instruments recognised at fair value in equity comprise nonconsolidated interests in subsidiaries and other equity components.
The impairment model of IFRS 9 calls for the formation of a risk provision in the amount of the twelve-month expected credit loss (stage 1). Should a significant increase in the credit risk occur, then the lifetime expected credit loss is recognised (stage 2). If there is objective evidence of actual impairment, then stage 3 applies. This does not necessarily result in the recognition of additional impairment, although an adjustment of cash flows to the net present value is required for financial instruments recognised under application of the effective interest method.
In the course of the first-time application, PORR decided to apply the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9.5.5.15 has been applied for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables. This means that impairment at least in the amount of the lifetime expected credit loss model is recognised (stage 2). The general impairment model is applied to all of the other aforementioned financial instruments.
The Group draws on all available information when evaluating the significant increase in the credit risk after the initial measurement and when estimating the expected credit loss. This includes historic data and future-oriented information. As a general rule, no external creditworthiness assessments are available for financial instruments.
The significant financial instruments to be valued in accordance with the general impairment model relate to project financing for companies accounted for under the equity method and other equity interests. Should no external creditworthiness assessments be available, then the credit risk is monitored using KPIs such as the DSo and equity ratio for each equity interest.
The expected credit loss is calculated on the basis of the product from the expected net of the financial instrument, the probability of default for the period and the amount lost in the case of an actual loss.
Impairment of assets recognised at amortised cost is deducted directly from the asset. Impairment is recognised in equity for financial instruments at fair value directly in equity.
Impairment expenses related to trade receivables and contract assets are disclosed separately in the consolidated income statement. No impairment was recognised in the year 2018.
Impairment expenses in relation to other financial instruments are shown under the financing result, as was previously the case with IAS 39.
It is expected that impairment will have to be applied earlier to assets that fall within the scope of the impairment regulations of IFRS 9. Impairment on receivables is recognised on the basis of decreases in output and does not generally relate to any impairment resulting from changes in creditworthiness. Overdue trade receivables primarily relate to public clients and industrial companies with a top credit rating and low default risk. The analysis of the historic data did not show any losses, therefore the first-time application of IFRS 9 did not have any impact on impairment as of 1 January 2018.
Loans and project financing were allocated to level 1 of the impairment model when IFRS 9 was applied for the first time, as no significant increase in the credit risk has been identified since the first-time application. The analysis of the historic data did not show any losses, therefore the first-time application of IFRS 9 did not have any impact on impairment as of 1 January 2018.
PORR has not exercised the option of continuing to apply the rules of IAS 39 for its hedge accounting; this option would not have had a significant impact on hedge accounting.
The following standards and interpretations were not mandatory in reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and the option to apply them early was not applied.

The standard specifies how to recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 replaces the previous standard IAS 17 and three interpretations related to leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is twelve months or less or the underlying asset has a low value (option to choose). On initial recognition the liability is discounted and in subsequent years it decreases through lease payments, while also increasing through unwinding. At the same time, a right of use in the amount of the present value of future lease payments is capitalised and subsequently written down using the straightline method. The previous differentiation between operating leases and finance leases is thereby no longer applicable. The standard was published in January 2016 and its application will be obligatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 features different transition options. PORR has decided against early adoption and chosen the modified retrospective approach.
The following tables show the impacts from the first-time application of IFRS 16 on the consolidated statement of financial position and on the consolidated income statement as of 31 December 2018.

Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method. According to this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as contingent liabilities are measured on the acquisition date at their fair values attributable at this date. Where the difference between the acquisition costs and the attributable proportion of net assets valued at fair value shows an excess, this item is shown as goodwill, which is not written off or amortised in regular amounts but is subjected to an annual test for impairment. Where any difference relates to a bargain purchase, its effect on net income is recognised immediately and shown in other operating income.
All accounts receivable and payable between consolidated companies are eliminated during debt consolidation. Intragroup income and expense is offset within the framework of consolidation of income and expense. Intragroup profits or losses from intragroup deliveries are eliminated if these relate to significant amounts and the relevant assets are still recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Shares in net assets of subsidiaries not attributable to PORR AG are shown separately as part of equity capital under the item "non-controlling interests".
The annual financial statements of all companies included in the consolidated financial statements are prepared according to standard accounting and measurement methods.
Historic acquisition costs form the basis for the measurement of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (except for real estate) and for loans, inventories, accounts receivable from billed orders and liabilities.
The fair value at the end of the reporting period is the basis for the measurement in respect of other equity interests, derivative financial instruments and investment property; the fair value at the date of revaluation is the basis for measurement for real estate used by the Group.
Contract assets from construction contracts that have not been completed, which are included under trade receivables, reflect the respective proportion of revenue corresponding to the percentage of completion at the end of the reporting period less any payments already made by the customer.
Currency translation: The companies included in the consolidated financial statements prepare their annual financial statements in their respective functional currencies, whereby the functional currency is the relevant currency for the commercial activities of the company concerned. The functional currency for all of the companies included is the currency of the country in which the company concerned is domiciled.
Items in the consolidated statement of financial position are translated at the mean rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period and income statement items are translated at the annual mean rate of exchange for the business year (as an arithmetic mean of all end-of-month quotations). Differences resulting from the currency translation are reported in other comprehensive income. These translation differences are recognised in the income statement at the date of disposal of the business activities.
In the event of company acquisitions, adjustments of the carrying amounts of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to the fair value at the date of acquisition or, if applicable, goodwill, are treated as assets or liabilities of the acquired subsidiary and are, accordingly, subject to currency translation.
Exchange gains or losses on transactions undertaken by companies included in the consolidation in a currency other than the functional currency are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Monetary items not denominated in the functional currency held by companies included in the consolidation are translated at the mean rate ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains or losses resulting from this translation are also recognised in profit or loss.
Intangible assets are capitalised at acquisition cost and amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the probable useful life.
| Rates of amortisation | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2017 | |
| Rental rights | 1.22 – 50.0 | 1.22 – 50.0 |
| Licences, software | 8.33 – 50.0 | 8.33 – 50.0 |
| Mining rights | depends on assets | depends on assets |
| Customer relations | 14.3 | 14.3 |
The amortisation apportionable to the business year is shown in the income statement under the item "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense".
If impairment is established, the relevant intangible assets are recognised at the recoverable amount, which is the fair value less costs of sale or the value in use, if higher. If the impairment ceases to apply, a reversal of the impairment is performed equivalent to the carrying amount, which would have been determined had the impairment loss not been accrued.
Goodwill is recorded as an asset. In order to assess any impairment demand, goodwill of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units will be assigned, which benefit from the synergies of the Group amalgamation. This cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units are tested once a year for impairment, as well as at any other time where circumstances exist that indicate there may be possible impairment.
Property, plant and equipment, with the exception of real estate, is valued at cost, including incidental costs less reductions in the acquisition costs, or at manufacturing cost, and is subject to the previously accumulated and regularly applied straight-line depreciation during the year under review, whereby the following rates of depreciation are applied:
| Rates of depreciation | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 2017 |
|||||
| Technical plants and machinery | 10.0 – 50.0 | 10.0 – 50.0 | |||
| Other plants, factory and business equipment | 10.0 – 50.0 | 10.0 – 50.0 |
The depreciation rates are based on the probable useful life of the facilities. If impairment is established, the relevant tangible assets are impaired to the recoverable amount, which is the fair value less costs of sale or the value in use, if higher. If the impairment ceases to apply, an impairment reversal is recognised equivalent to the carrying amount, which would have been determined had the impairment expense not been accrued. Fundamental rebuilding work is recognised in the statement of financial position, while ongoing maintenance work, repairs and minor rebuilding work are recognised in profit or loss at the time they arose.
Real estate used for operational purposes is valued according to the revaluation method pursuant to IAS 16.31. External opinions or assessments from internal experts are used as the basis for determining fair values. The external assessments are held at periodic intervals of maximum five years; in the interim period assessments from internal experts are used to update the expert opinions. Revaluations are performed on a regular basis so that the carrying amounts do not deviate significantly from the fair values attributable at the end of the reporting period. The date for the revaluation for the end of the reporting period generally falls in the fourth quarter of the reporting year. The carrying amount is adjusted to the respective fair value by using a revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income. The revaluation reserve is reduced by the applicable deferred tax liability. Regular depreciation of revalued buildings is carried out according to the straight-line method, where the depreciation rates lie essentially between 1.0% and 4.0% (previous year: between 1.0% and 4.0%), and is recognised in the income statement. On a subsequent sale or decommissioning of revalued land or buildings, the amount recorded in the revaluation reserve in respect of the relevant plot of land or building is transferred to retained earnings.
Plants under construction, including buildings under construction, which are to be used for operational purposes or whose type of use has not yet been established, are accounted for at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost less impairment. Depreciation or impairment of these assets commences upon their completion or attainment of operational status.
Investment property is real estate that is held for the purpose of obtaining rental income and/or for the purpose of its rise in value. This includes office and commercial premises, residential buildings and unimproved land. These are recognised at their fair values. Gains or losses from changes in value are reflected in profit or loss for the period in which the change in value occurred.
The fair value is determined using recognised valuation methods, namely as derived from the current market price, as derived from a price recently paid in a transaction with similar property, or – usually in cases where there is a lack of suitable market data – as derived from discounting estimated future cash flows, which are commonly generated on the market by this type of property under a rental agreement.
Leases are classified as finance leases when, according to the lease contract, all the risks and rewards relating to the ownership are essentially transferred to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Where the Group is the lessor, the only lease contracts applicable are operating leases. The rental income from these contracts is recognised in net income on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding lease.
Assets held under finance leases are recorded as Group assets at their fair values or at the present value of the minimum lease payments if this is lower, at the beginning of the lease. The minimum lease payments are those amounts payable during the non-terminable term of the lease, including a guaranteed residual value. The corresponding liability owed to the lessor is recorded in the statement of financial position as obligations under finance leases. The lease payments are apportioned between interest paid and the reduction of the lease obligation in such a way as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining liability. Interest expense is recognised in the income statement.
Rental payments on operating leases are recognised in profit or loss for the period on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding lease.
Shares in associates and in joint ventures are accounted for at acquisition cost, which is apportioned between the pro rata net assets acquired at fair value and, if applicable, goodwill. The carrying amount is increased or decreased annually by the proportionate annual profit or loss, dividends received and other changes to equity capital. Goodwill is not subject to planned amortisation, rather it is assessed for impairment as a part of the relevant shareholding when circumstances exist that indicate there may be possible impairment.
Shares in consortiums (joint ventures): Group shares in profits and losses from consortiums classified as joint ventures are shown in the consolidated income statement under as profit/loss from companies accounted for under the equity method. Group revenues from goods and services to consortiums are shown in the consolidated income statement under revenue. Capital paid into a consortium is entered under trade receivables (see note 24), together with profit shares and trade receivables for the relevant consortium and after deductions for withdrawals and general losses. If there is on balance a passive entry, this is included under trade payables (see note 37).
Shares in joint operations: The consolidated financial statements recognise the proportionate assets and liabilities and the proportionate expenses and income attributable to the PORR Group.
Pursuant to the standards applicable as of 31 December 2017, loans, other financial assets, securities, construction contracts and trade receivables are measured as follows. Please see note 3.1 for changes arising from the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.
Loans are measured at amortised cost according to the effective interest method, less general allowances (value adjustments) due to impairment.
Shares in non-consolidated companies and other shareholdings shown under other financial assets are valued at acquisition cost, as with regard to these stakes and shareholdings, in the absence of listings, there is no stock exchange rate available and reliable fair values cannot be determined for these. If impairment is established, they are written down to the recoverable amount.
Securities available for sale are measured at fair value. Gains or losses from changes to the fair value, with the exception of revaluations due to impairment and gains and losses arising from securities denominated in foreign currencies, are entered into other comprehensive income. In the case of derecognition of these kinds of securities, or if impairment is indicated, the cumulative gain or loss in equity capital will be entered into profit or loss for the period. Interest is calculated by the effective interest method and is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.
The securities classified as held for trading are measured at their fair value. Gains or losses from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets: At the end of each reporting period an assessment is carried out as to whether there are any indicators that a financial asset has been impaired. An impairment loss is recognised if there is evidence that the expected future cash flows from the asset in question will be reduced because of an event occurring after the initial recognition of that asset. If the impairment loss has decreased in a subsequent period because of an event occurring following its recognition, the impairment loss is reversed by increasing the carrying amount of the asset. In the case of financial assets measured at amortised cost, the maximum amount of any reversal is the amount that would have been recognised as the amortised cost of the financial asset in question if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Construction contracts are recognised according to the percentage of completion of the contract (POC method). The anticipated revenues from the contracts are shown under revenue according to the respective percentage of completion. The percentage of completion, which is the basis for the amount of the contract revenues shown, is, as a rule, determined according to the ratio of the services supplied compared to the estimated total services at the end of the reporting period. Claims are only recognised when it is likely that the customer will accept them and when they can be reliably measured. Where the result of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, the amount of the accumulated contract costs alone shall represent the amount recorded for contract revenues. If it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenues, the expected loss is recognised immediately and in full.
The revenues attributable to the services supplied so far according to the percentage of completion method are, to the extent that they exceed the payments on account made by the customer, shown in the statement of financial position under trade receivables. Amounts by which the payments on account received exceed the revenues attributable to the services supplied so far are shown under other liabilities.
Where construction contracts are executed in consortiums, profits are also recognised using the POC method.
Receivables are fundamentally recognised using the effective interest method, whereby the carrying amount generally corresponds to the nominal value. Should there be substantial evidence of risks regarding recovery, allowances are set up. Objective indicators suggesting the need for impairment include, for example, a decline in the creditworthiness of the debtor and related payment delays or impending insolvency. The necessary allowances are based on the actual risk of default.
Raw materials and supplies are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realisable value.
Recorded under inventories, land intended for sale is valued at the lower of acquisition cost, manufacturing cost and net realisable value.
Acquisitions and sales of financial assets common to the market (spot transactions) are shown in the statement of financial position on the settlement date.
Deferred tax items are recognised where there are temporary differences between the values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements on the one hand and the values for tax purposes on the other hand in the amount of the anticipated future tax expense or tax relief. In addition, a deferred tax asset for future asset advantage resulting from tax loss carryforwards is recognised if there is sufficient certainty of realisation. Temporary differences arising from the first recognition of goodwill constitute exceptions to this comprehensive tax deferral.
The calculation of the deferred tax amount is based on the rate of income tax valid in the country concerned; for Austrian companies this is a tax rate of 25%.
If a Group company purchases treasury shares in PORR AG, the value of the consideration paid, including directly attributable additional costs (net of income tax), will be deducted from the equity of PORR AG until the shares are retired or re-issued. If these shares are subsequently re-issued, the consideration paid (less deductions for directly attributable additional costs and related income taxes) will be recognised in the equity of PORR AG.
The provisions for severance payments, pensions and anniversary bonuses are determined by the projected unit credit method in accordance with IAS 19, which involves an actuarial assessment being performed by a recognised actuary on each reference date. In the valuation of these provisions for Austria and Germany, an interest rate for accounting purposes of 1.9% p.a. (previous year: 1.9%) was applied with salary increases of 2.0% (previous year: 2.1%). When determining provisions for severance payments and anniversary bonuses for Austria, deductions are made for fluctuations based on statistical data within a range of 0.4% to 10.5% (previous year: 0.4% to 10.5%) and for anniversary bonuses in Germany a range of 0.0% to 16.6% (previous year: 0.0% to 10.6%) was applied, while for severance payments in Poland a range of 0.0% to 9.25% was applied. When determining provisions for pensions, a pension increase of 2.0% p.a. (previous year: 2.0% p.a.) was applied in Austria and Germany. For Austrian companies the assumed retirement age is the earliest possible retirement age permitted by law following the 2004 pension reform (corridor pension), taking into account all transitional arrangements; for German companies the legal retirement age is used. The life table AVÖ 2018-P was used for calculating provisions in Austria (previous year: life table AVÖ 2008-P – Pagler & Pagler), while for Germany the life table Richttafeln 2018 G by Heubeck was used (previous year: life table Richttafeln 2005 G by Klaus Heubeck).
Actuarial gains and losses for severance payments and pensions are recognised in full in other comprehensive income, while anniversary bonuses are under profit or loss for the period. Service costs are under staff expense. Interest paid is recorded under finance costs.
Other provisions take account of all currently discernible risks and contingent liabilities from past events whereby an outflow of resources is judged to be probable. They are recognised with the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation if a reliable estimate exists. Provisions related to impending losses and damages and penalties from contracts are recorded in other provisions, in as far as the respective proportional contract values according to the percentage of completion are exceeded.
Pursuant to the standards applicable as of 31 December 2017, financial liabilities, derivative financial instruments and revenues are measured as follows. Please see note 3.1 for changes arising from the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.
Financial liabilities are measured at fair value less direct transaction costs when they are initially recognised. If the amount of the repayment is lower or higher, this is written down or up in accordance with the effective interest method.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. Gains and losses from changes in the market value of forward contracts designated as hedging instruments which should hedge the risk in variability of the cash flow in the functional currency from planned transactions in the foreign currency ("cash flow hedges"), along with other derivative financial instruments which are designated as cash flow hedges, are entered into other comprehensive income, as long as they are allotted to the effective part of the hedge transaction. Gains and losses from changes in the market value of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are recognised in profit or loss.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration. Discounts and other subsequent reductions in revenue are deducted from this amount. Sales taxes and other taxes related to the sale are not part of the consideration or revenue. Revenue from the sale of assets is recognised on delivery and transfer of the opportunities and risks. Revenue from construction contracts is recognised according to the percentage of completion allocated over the period of the contract.
Interest income is defined in accordance with the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is any interest rate where the present value of future cash flow from the financial asset value corresponds to the carrying amount of the asset. Dividend income from financial investments is recognised when legal title arises.
Borrowing costs resulting directly from acquisition or production of qualifying assets, even those whose acquisition or manufacture takes up a considerable time period until the intended use or sale, form part of the cost of the asset and are therefore capitalised. Other borrowing costs are recorded as an expense in the period in which they were incurred.
The following presents significant assumptions related to the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty which could lead to significant adjustments in the consolidated financial statements for the following business year of results reported:
The valuation of existing pension and severance obligations relies on assumptions and estimates which could have a significant impact on the amounts recognised.
For pension provisions, the following actuarial assumptions were deemed relevant and the following margins were applied: Discount rate +/-0.25%, Pension trend +/-0.25%, Life expectancy +/-1 year.
The sensitivity analysis of life expectancy was carried out on the basis of a shift in life expectancy for the total candidates of the respective plan.
The differences to the values disclosed in the statement of financial position (see note 34) are shown in the tables below as relative deviations:

The evaluation of client contracts under the POC method until project completion, in particular with a view to the accounting of claims, the contract revenue using the POC method, and the estimate of the probable operating profit from the contract, is based on expectations of the future development of the relevant construction contracts. A change in these estimates, particularly as regards contract costs to complete the contract, percentage of completion, the estimated operating profit and the final claims accepted can have a significant effect on the Group's financial position and financial performance (see note 24). The following sensitivity analysis shows the impact of changes to the key parameters on the carrying amounts:

Impairment tests on goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment are primarily based on estimated future cash flows which are expected from the continuous use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its useful life. Factors such as lower revenues or rising expenditure and the resulting lower cash flows as well as changes to the discount factors used can lead to impairment due to a reduction in value or, as far as allowed, to a reversal of impairment due to an increase in value. The carrying amounts and the valuation assumptions applied to key impairment tests on goodwill are as follows (no impairment tests have yet been conducted on the goodwill of the Alpine Bau CZ Group, which was newly acquired in the business year, as the purchase price allocation has not yet been finalised):

In addition to the tax expense recognised in the consolidated income statement, the tax effect of expenses and income set off to other comprehensive income was also recognised in other comprehensive income. The income recognised in other comprehensive income amounted to TEUR -1,414 (previous year: TEUR -1,843). Payouts from capital derived by hybrid capital, profit-participation rights and the costs of the capital increase classified as equity capital are tax deductible. The resulting tax of TEUR 2,807 (previous year: TEUR 1,410) was recognised directly in equity.

In the segment Business Unit 1 – Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, goodwill of TEUR 7,704 is allocated to the cash-generating unit of road construction. In the segment Business Unit 2 – Germany, goodwill totalling TEUR 44,170 is allocated to the cash-generating unit of the Oevermann Group. In the segment Business Unit 3 – International, goodwill of TEUR 10,949 is allocated to the cash-generating unit Porr Polska Infrastructure, further goodwill totalling TEUR 23,388 is allocated to the cash-generating unit of the Hinteregger Group. The goodwill newly acquired in the reporting year from the Alpine Bau CZ Group has not yet been allocated to the cash-generating unit (provisionally allocated to the segment BU 1) as the purchase price allocation has not yet been finalised (see note 2.1).
The impairment test involves comparing the total of the carrying amounts of the assets of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill was allocated in addition to the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to this cash-generating unit, with the recoverable amount of the same assets. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit corresponds to the fair value less sale costs or the value in use, if this is higher. The fair value is determined on the basis of a DCF calculation. In cases where no fair value can be determined, the value in use, i.e. the present value of probable future cash flows generated by the segment, is laid down as the recoverable amount. The cash flows were derived from budgets for three to five years approved by the Executive Board and current as at the time of the implementation of the impairment tests. More details on the parameters and sensitivity analyses used in impairment tests are given in note 6.1.
The comments shown under accounting and measurement methods explain the useful lives and methods of amortisation, depreciation and impairment.
The consolidated income statement contains impairment related to goodwill of TEUR 2,727 (previous year: TEUR 1,471), shown under the item "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense", as well as amortisation on other intangible assets. Impairment related to goodwill was applied because of a downturn in the market environment or the expiry of a business model.

Land, land rights and buildings, including buildings on land owned by others, includes reserves for raw materials amounting to TEUR 52,648 (previous year: TEUR 56,900), which is written off based on performance.
Scheduled depreciation is shown under "Depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense".
The value of property under property, plant and equipment which was valued by an external expert at the end of the reporting period amounts to TEUR 27,294 (previous year: TEUR 6,750).
The carrying amount for property, plant and equipment pledged for security at the end of the reporting period is TEUR 36,247 (previous year: TEUR 36,458).
The carrying amount for land, land rights and buildings, including buildings on land owned by others and usage rights shown under intangible assets would have amounted to TEUR 269,220 (previous year: TEUR 260,468) under application of the cost model as of 31 December 2018.
Determining the fair value of properties is carried out by way of a revolving cycle. Fair value is determined using recognised valuation methods, namely as derived from the current market price, as derived from a price recently paid in a transaction with similar property, or – usually in cases where there is a lack of suitable market data – as derived from discounting estimated future cash flows, which are commonly generated on the market by this type of property under a rental agreement. An internal valuation team determines the market value of any property which has not undergone an external valuation. Discussions related to the parameters which need to be applied to determine fair value (Level 3) are led by operational project developers, the Executive Board and the valuation team.
The various levels are defined as follows:

Fair value is determined using internationally recognised valuation methods, namely as derived from the current market price, as derived from a price recently paid in a transaction with similar property, or – in cases where there is a lack of suitable market data – as derived from discounting estimated future cash flows, which are commonly generated on the market by this type of property under a rental agreement.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and investment property held under finance leasing agreements amounted to:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate leasing | 12,400 | 9,838 |
| Equipment leasing | 123,356 | 96,738 |
| Total | 135,756 | 106,576 |
These carrying amounts are balanced by corresponding liabilities represented by the present value of the minimum lease payments, i.e. of TEUR 113,160 (previous year: TEUR 85,120).
The terms of the finance leases for real estate are between 20 and 38 years; leasing fees are generally tied to the 6-month EURIBOR from the Austrian National Bank and adjusted every six months. The terms of the finance leases for equipment are between two and 15 years, leasing fees are generally tied to the 3-month EURIBOR from the Austrian National Bank and adjusted every quarter. The equipment leasing contracts include extension options, but they do not contain sales options or clauses for adjusting the price.
The Group essentially leases cars and properties under operating leases; in most cases pre-agreed extension options are not exercised. The average term of car leasing agreements is four years and the term of real estate leasing agreements is two to 60 years.
The following summary shows the future minimum lease payments during the non-terminable period of the operating leases:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |

The value of investment property, which was assessed by an external expert as of the reporting date, amounted to TEUR 7,140 (previous year: TEUR 26,280).
The rental income from investment property amounted to TEUR 591 in the year under review (previous year: TEUR 841). Operating expenses related to investment property for which there was no rental income in the year under review amounted to TEUR 99 (previous year: TEUR 42).
Investment property with a carrying amount of TEUR 1,715 (previous year: TEUR 1,715) is pledged as collateral for liabilities.
Reclassifications of TEUR 3,627 (previous year: TEUR 0) relate to the reclassification of properties into property, plant and equipment; properties of TEUR 0 (previous year TEUR 1,250) were reclassified out of property, plant and equipment. Furthermore, properties worth TEUR 0 (previous year: TEUR 5,534) were reclassified into non-current assets held for sale.
The fair value is determined according to recognised measurement methods, namely by being inferred from a current market price, by being inferred from a price attained in a transaction with similar items of real estate in the recent past – in the absence of suitable market data – by discounting estimated future cash flows that are usually generated in the market by this type of real estate in the course of letting.

The miscellaneous financial assets relate to granting perpetual hybrid capital of TEUR 25,330 with an interest rate of 6.0% to UBM Development AG. Ordinary termination by PORR AG is excluded. The mezzanine loan of TEUR 50,000 was paid back by UBM Development AG in the 2018 business year. Interest payments are dependent on whether UBM Development AG resolves to pay out a dividend from the annual surplus. If there is a year in which no payout of dividends from the annual surplus is resolved by UBM Development AG, then UBM Development AG is not obliged to pay any interest in the same year, whereby in this instance the interest is not cancelled but remains due. The carrying amount stood at TEUR 25,179 at the reporting date (previous year: TEUR 77,196).
The remaining financial assets available for sale of TEUR 10,796 (previous year: TEUR 12,466) mainly comprise fixedinterest instruments. They are not subject to any restrictions on disposal.

Trade receivables are classified as current in accordance with IAS 1 as they are to be settled within the entity's normal operating cycle. The significant payment terms from contracts with customers under which revenue is realised over a period of time specify payment 30 days after the review period of the issue of a monthly invoice. In individual cases, payments follow a specific payment schedule based on the project. Contracts with customers under which revenue is realised at a point in time specify payment 30 days after the service has been rendered and/or the invoice has been issued.
Trade receivables include contractual retentions of TEUR 55,743 (previous year: TEUR 48,477).

The shares are ordinary no-par shares. Each ordinary share has a pro-rata interest of EUR 1.00 in the share capital of EUR 29,095,000 and participates in profits to the same extent and each share entitles the bearer to one vote at the Annual General Meeting. The shares are no-par bearer shares.
As of 31 December 2018 the company held a total of 216,495 treasury shares (previous year: 216,495 shares), respectively 0.74% of the share capital. In accordance with Section 65 Paragraph 5 of the Stock Corporation Act, the company does not have any rights, particularly voting rights, from the treasury shares.
As of 31 December 2018, the Executive Board is authorised, in accordance with Section 169 of the Stock Corporation Act, to increase the share capital of the company within five years of entry of the authorisation of the AGM granted on 29 May 2018 being entered in the Commercial Register, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, in multiple tranches if so wished, to EUR 4,364,250 by issuing up to 4,364,250 no-par value shares for cash or consideration in kind – in either case also in multiple tranches, also in the course of direct subscription rights in accordance with Section 153, Paragraph 6 Stock Corporation Act – (authorised capital), whereby the issue price, which may not be lower than the pro rata share of share capital, the conditions of issue, the subscription ratio, and other details are to be determined by the Executive Board with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The Executive Board is authorised, with the approval of the Supervisory Board to exclude shareholders' subscription rights in full or in part
The Supervisory Board is authorised to rule on changes to the statutes which result from the Executive Board exercising this entitlement.
The capital reserves result largely from the capital increases, adjustments and statute-barred dividend claims arising from previous years and the current year, less the costs for the capital increase. The capital reserves include an amount of TEUR 192,764 (previous year: TEUR 192,764) which is restricted. It may only be released to compensate for an accumulated loss which would otherwise be shown in the annual financial statements of PORR AG, to the extent that free reserves are not available to cover this.
The other reserves comprise the revaluation reserves in accordance with IAS 16, the reserves from revaluation of the annual financial statements of subsidiaries in foreign currencies, the reserves for cash flow hedges, reserves for remeasurement from benefit obligations and reserves for equity instruments, retained earnings of PORR AG including the statutory reserve and the untaxed reserves after deducting deferred tax items, retained profits from subsidiaries since their acquisition and the effects of adjusting the annual financial statements of companies included in the consolidated financial statements to the accounting and measurement methods used in the consolidated financial statements. Treasury shares as of 31 December 2018 were deducted from reserves and amounted to 216,495 shares as of the reporting date. An amount of TEUR 713 from the revaluation reserve was reclassified due to outflows in retained earnings.
In the year under review, the shareholders of PORR AG received a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share entitled to dividends, with the remaining balance carried forward to new account.
Net earnings amounting to TEUR 32,039 are available for distribution to shareholders in PORR AG. From the unrestricted retained earnings of PORR AG, which come to TEUR 180,998 as of 31 December 2018, an amount of TEUR 7,356 is restricted from distribution in accordance with Section 235 Paragraph 2 of the Austrian Commercial Code. The residual amount of TEUR 173,642 may be released and distributed to the shareholders of PORR AG. The statutory reserve of PORR AG of TEUR 458 (previous year: TEUR 458) may only be released to compensate for an accumulated loss which would otherwise be shown, whereby the release to cover the loss is not impeded by free reserves being available to compensate for the loss. From the net retained profits recognised in the statement of financial position of EUR 32,039,425.03, the Executive Board proposes to pay a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share entitled to dividends, with the remaining balance to be carried forward to new account.
As part of a PORR AG bond emission programme, a bond exchange was carried out in October 2014, in which holders of bonds issued by PORR AG in the years 2009 and 2010 were publicly invited to exchange these bonds in bonds about to be newly issued. Included here was the issue of a subordinated hybrid bond with a total nominal value of EUR 17,054,500.00. The hybrid bond was increased in the business year 2015 to EUR 25,000,000 in the course of a private placement. The partial debentures of this hybrid bond were issued with a denomination of EUR 500.00 and are fixed at 6.75% p.a. until 27 October 2021 during an unlimited term, after which they are subject to variable interest as of 28 October 2021 (3-month EURIBOR plus a premium of 8.5% p. a.). In February 2017 PORR AG issued another subordinated hybrid bond with a total nominal value of EUR 125,000,000. The partial debentures of this hybrid bond, which is a perpetual bond, were issued with a denomination of EUR 1,000 and are subject to fixed interest of 5.5% p.a. until 6 February 2022 and subject to variable interest from 7 February 2022 (5-year ISDAFIX2 swap rate plus margin of 10.312% p.a.). As payments of interest and capital redemption are only compulsory when the conditions are activated, where their activation can be authorised or prevented by PORR AG, and the Group therefore has the option of avoiding payment on the mezzanine and hybrid capital permanently, this mezzanine and hybrid capital is categorised as equity instruments. Interest of TEUR 8,562, which is paid, less any tax effect such as profit payouts, is recorded directly in equity as a deduction.
The profit-participation rights were issued by PORR Construction Holding GmbH, a subsidiary 100% of whose nominal capital is held by PORR AG. The outstanding profit-participation rights with a total nominal value of TEUR 40,000, whose issuance conditions are in accordance with debentures, are issued for an unspecified length of time.
The interest amounts to 8.0% p.a. of the nominal capital of the profit-participation rights as of 31 December 2015. From 1 January 2016 up to and including 31 December 2020 the interest amounts to 6.66% p.a. of the nominal capital of the profit-participation rights. From 1 January 2021 the annual interest will be 13.0% of the nominal capital of the profit-participation rights.
The issuer is only obliged to pay interest if they or PORR AG decide to pay holdings or shareholders a dividend from the annual surplus. The issuer is not obliged to pay the due interest for one year in the absence of a profit payout, and if the issuer utilises their right not to pay, then this unpaid interest is kept in arrears which must be paid as soon as the issuer or PORR AG decides that a dividend from the annual surplus is payable to their holdings or shareholders. In the case of dismissal by the issuer or the extraordinary notice of dismissal by the bearers of profit-participation rights, the capital from profit-participation rights becomes due to the bearers, in addition to the valid interest accrued by this date and outstanding interest.
As payments on the profit-participation rights – interest as well as capital redemption – are only compulsory when the conditions are activated, where their activation can be authorised or prevented by PORR AG, and the Group therefore has the option of avoiding payment on this part of the profit participation rights permanently, these profit-participation rights are categorised as equity instruments. Interest in the amount of TEUR 2,664, which is paid on these profit-participation rights, less any tax, is recorded directly in equity as a deduction.
The shares in equity of subsidiaries which are not owned by PORR AG or a shareholder of the Group are entered in equity under non-controlling interests. The share of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries is of minor significance.

PORR AG and its subsidiaries must pay their employees in Austria and Germany anniversary bonuses on certain anniversaries in accordance with collective agreements. The provision for anniversary bonuses was determined in accordance with the provisions of IAS 19 on other long-term benefits. Please refer to the notes under the accounting and measurement methods with regard to the actuarial assumptions underlying the calculation.
At TEUR 12,260 (previous year: TEUR 18,280), provisions for constructions represent provisions for impending losses arising from the order backlog and, at TEUR 76,765 (previous year: TEUR 69,583), provisions for guarantees and TEUR 37,927 (previous year: TEUR 37,648) for provisions for damages and penalties. Provisions for impending losses are based on current contract calculations. Provisions for guarantees and other contract risks are determined on the basis of an individual assessment of the risks. Claims arising against the Group from these risks are deemed to be probable; the recognised amount corresponds to the best possible estimate of the amount of the claim. As construction contracts can take several years to be carried out, and any claim possibly precedes a long ongoing legal dispute, the time of the claim is uncertain but will, as a rule, lie within the relevant operating cycle. Provisions for rehabilitation that also contain aftercare obligations are mainly formed for the landfill business of BU 4 – Environmental Engineering, Healthcare & Services. The provisions are formed on the basis of the amounts of landfill over the operating life in instalments and are used across the term of the rehabilitation and/or the aftercare on the basis of the area rehabilitated.
Provisions for severance pay were created for employees (on wages and salaries) who have claims to severance payments pursuant to the Employee Act, the Wage Earners' Severance Pay Act or works agreements. Employees whose employment is subject to Austrian law, if the relevant employment began prior to 1 January 2003 and has been ongoing for at least ten years without interruption, have a claim to severance pay where the employment is terminated upon the employee's reaching the statutory age of retirement, even if the employment is terminated by the employee. The amount of the severance pay depends on the amount of the pay at the time of termination and of the length of employment. These employee claims should therefore be treated as claims under defined benefit pension plans, in which case plan assets do not exist to cover these claims. Similar considerations apply to employees to whom severance pay is due pursuant to the Wage Earners' Severance Pay Act and for severance pay payable pursuant to works agreements.
The Construction Workers' Leave and Severance Pay Act 1987 applies to the majority of waged workers, according to which their claims are directed towards the holiday pay and severance pay fund to be financed by employer's contributions. This is a state plan, for which a severance pay provision does not need to be created.
Pension commitments are, as a rule, defined individual benefit commitments for senior staff which are not covered by plan assets. The amount of the pension claim depends on the number of years of service in each case.

Claims – Austria: as part of the defined benefit plans relating to pensions, the company is obliged to grant the promised benefits both to current and former employees.
The employee claims to defined benefit pension plans are defined as follows:
Group A (service contract, version dated 1 July 1991):
The pension allowance involves an agreed percentage of the basis of assessment (salary and overtime rate) for cases of retirement after reaching the age of 63 and is reduced by a defined percentage for every full year of retirement before reaching the age of 63.
Group B (service contract dated 5 August 1991) and Group C/D (service contract dated 6 August 1991): The pension allowance is determined as an agreed amount due upon retirement after reaching the age of 63 and is reduced by a defined amount for every full year of retirement before reaching the age of 63.
Group E/F (service contract dated 29 August 1991):
The pension allowance involves an agreed amount for retirement upon reaching the age of 60; this amount increases by a fixed annual amount for every year up to 63, whereby the maximum contribution is reached after reaching the age of 63.
Claims – Germany: there are multiple pension plans with defined benefits for current and former employees.
Employee claims to these defined benefit pension plans are tied to the number of eligible calendar years and the class of pension which were determined for the pension candidate when the claim was agreed.
In addition, there are individual commitments involving defined benefit obligations.

The obligations from the direct pension benefits in Austria are covered by insurance contracts concluded with WIENER STÄDTISCHE VERSICHERUNG AG Vienna Insurance Group. In Germany the obligations from direct pension benefits are covered by insurance contracts concluded with Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG, Condor Lebensversicherung AG, Generali Lebensversicherung AG and Essener Verband. In order to secure the pension rights of the employees insured from the corporate pension benefits, the rights from the insurance agreements are pledged in favour of the employees insured. The insurance of the old-age pension is entitled to share in profits in line with Section 16 of the General Terms and Conditions Governing Endowment and Pension Insurance. The insurance for the disability pension and widows pension is also entitled to share in profits. To this end, a cash accounting statement is produced at the end of every insurance year. In the case of a profit, 50% of the balance of income and expenditure is refunded to the insurance policyholder. In the case of a loss, this is carried forward to the next insurance year. Profits can only be paid out again once the loss carryforward has been settled. The amount of the annual insurance premiums is determined by the insurance company's rates and is stated in the registry of members. The premiums must be paid annually in advance. The final annual premium must be paid in the year in which the policyholder reaches retirement age. The pension plan reinsurance is held in an independent department of the cover pool for life insurance as laid down in Section 20 Paragraph 2 Line 1 in connection with Section 2 of the Insurance Supervision Law.
Endowment life insurance policies have been concluded, e.g. with Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG, for the pension benefits of the German companies. The insurance involves individual endowment policies which are ring-fenced. The policyholder is the employer, while the insured party/beneficiary is the employee who can choose between a lump sum or an annuity of equal value. The amount of the annuity is determined by the rates valid at the time of choosing and the corresponding insurance conditions. The contributions must be paid until the end of the insurance year in which the claim becomes valid (death or retirement). At the end of every insurance year the current profit participation (risk and interest surplus) is credited and converted into a bonus.

Employees whose employment is subject to Austrian law and who commenced employment after 31 December 2002, and workers to whose employment the Construction Workers' Leave and Severance Pay Act is applicable, do not acquire any severance pay claims in respect of their respective employer. For these employees, except for those to whose employment the Construction Workers' Leave and Severance Pay Act is applicable, contributions of 1.53% of the wage or salary must be paid to an employee welfare fund; this amounted to TEUR 2,703 (previous year: TEUR 2,334) in 2018, of which TEUR 42 (previous year: TEUR 53) related to managers in key positions.
Contributions are payable by the employer to the holiday pay and severance pay fund in respect of those employees whose employment is covered by the Construction Workers' Leave and Severance Pay Act. At the present time, around 37% of the wage of relevant employees is payable to the holiday pay fund for 2018, amounting to TEUR 50,591 (previous year: TEUR 45,893) and 4.6% of the wage of relevant employees is payable to the severance pay fund, amounting to TEUR 7,309 in 2018 (previous year: TEUR 6,638). This contribution covers employee severance pay claims and other benefits, in particular the holiday pay and holiday allowance payable by the holiday pay and severance pay fund to the relevant employees. This state plan covers all the companies in the building sector. The benefits are financed on a pay-as-you-earn basis, i.e. the benefits falling due in a particular period are to be financed by the contributions of this same period, while the future benefits earned in the period under review will be funded by future contributions. The companies are not legally or actually obliged to pay these future benefits. The companies are only obliged to pay the prescribed contributions as long as they employ workers whose employment is covered by the Construction Workers' Leave and Severance Pay Act.
Payments to external employee provision funds are recognised under the item staff expense.
The employees of the PORR Group furthermore belong to their country-specific, state pension plans, which are usually funded on a pay-as-you-earn basis. The Group is only obliged to pay the contributions when they become due. There is no legal or actual obligation to provide future benefits.

In August 2016 investors were offered the option of a premature extension of the terms for three, five and seven years. In addition, the volume was increased from TEUR 185,500 to a total of TEUR 200,000. In February 2017 tranches totalling TEUR 58,000 and subject to variable interest rates were prematurely extended as follows: TEUR 18,000 to August 2020, TEUR 30,000 to August 2022 and TEUR 10,000 to August 2024. In August 2018, in addition to the contractually fixed repayment of the tranches subject to fixed rates totalling TEUR 21,000, tranches subject to variable rates totalling TEUR 40,000 were prematurely extended with a new end date of 14 August 2023.

Deposits from banks subject to variable rates of interest are mainly charged interest at the 3-month EURIBOR rate or the 6-month EURIBOR rate plus differing margins. During the year under review the 3-month EURIBOR rate averaged out at -0.32% and the 6-month EURIBOR rate at an average -0.27%. The margins for newly acquired funds with a maximum 3-month term averaged 1.22 PP in 2018.
Some items of real estate and equipment used by the Group itself are held under finance leases (see note 18). The interest rates for the lease obligations are between 0.2% and 6.4%. The interest component of the lease payments is usually continuously adjusted to the market interest rate. With the exception of these leasing rate adjustments to reference interest rates, no agreements on conditional rental payments are included.
Derivative financial instruments include forward contracts and interest rate hedges, which are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period (see note 43).

| Guarantees, guarantee bonds and other contingent liabilities | 6,217 | 5,610 |
| of which for companies accounted for under the equity method | (233) | (184) |
The guarantees primarily relate to securing bank loans of non-consolidated subsidiaries, companies accounted for under the equity method and other companies in which the Group holds a stake, as well as other liabilities from the operational business whose drawdown is theoretically possible, but considered improbable.
The operational construction business requires various types of guarantees in order to safeguard contractual obligations. This generally relates to guarantees for tenders, contract fulfilment, advance payment and warranty. Apart from this, the Group is jointly and severally liable for all consortiums in which it participates. Claims arising from these liabilities are not likely.
The Group has access to European credit lines totalling TEUR 3,031,674 (previous year: TEUR 2,683,520). Of these credit lines, TEUR 1,095,000 (previous year: TEUR 976,080) was concluded with a three-year term. The remainder of TEUR 1,936,674 (previous year: TEUR 1,707,441) generally run for a one-year term. Furthermore, there were credit lines in several Arabic countries of TEUR 60,318 (previous year: TEUR 599,534). As of 31 December 2018, around 58% (previous year: 60%) of the European credit lines had been drawn on and around 52% (previous year: 11%) of the lines in Arabic countries.
The three-year credit lines of TEUR 1,095,00 (previous year: TEUR 976,080) include harmonised financial covenants. The majority of these relate to the ratio between net debt and EBITDA or to the equity ratio.
All triggers had been met as of 31 December 2018. On the basis of the planned development, it is assumed that they will be met again on the next effective date, 31 December 2019.

The fundamental aim of the Group's capital management is to substantially increase equity and to keep debt low.
In the year under review PORR succeeded in increasing equity by around TEUR 21,196. It was thereby possible to broadly maintain the equity ratio at 19.9% despite the growth of 8.0% in total assets. Both non-current and current liabilities subject to interest were reduced, by TEUR 17,007 and TEUR 19,271 respectively.
As of 31 December 2018 net debt, defined as the balance of cash and cash equivalents, bonds and current and non-current financial liabilities, totalled TEUR 150,184 (previous year: TEUR 147,429) and was thereby at a similar level to the previous year.
The net gearing ratio, defined as net debt divided by equity, is applied for the control of capital risk management. In 2018 net gearing stood at 0.24 (previous year: 0.25).

The carrying amount of the financial instruments not measured at fair value corresponds to an appropriate approximation of the fair value in accordance with IFRS 7.29. The exception is bonds subject to fixed interest rates (fair value hierarchy level 1), deposits from banks subject to fixed interest rates (fair value hierarchy level 3), and Schuldscheindarlehen subject to fixed interest rates (fair value hierarchy level 3).
The fair value valuation for derivatives is determined in accordance with market data from information service provider REUTERS. Loans and borrowings as well as Schuldscheindarlehen are valued under the discounted cash flow valuation method, whereby the zero coupon yield curve published by REUTERS as of 31 December 2018 was used for the discounting of the cash flow.
Miscellaneous financial assets are measured at fair value directly in equity and relate to the granting of hybrid capital to UBM Development AG (TEUR 25,179), an equity interest in UBM Development Deutschland GmbH (TEUR 1,653), as well as other insignificant interests in GmbH companies (TEUR 2,860). The option to recognise them directly in equity under other operating income was exercised to prevent distortion of operating income. Dividends of TEUR 1,800 were recognised in the period under review, as were reclassifications totalling TEUR 1,323 in retained earnings due to the repayment of the mezzanine capital of UBM Development AG.

For the valuation of the hybrid capital of TEUR 25,330 for UBM Development AG, the following input factors (pricing criteria) were applied:
The sum of these factors corresponds to the current pricing of the hybrid bond.
As a second step, the current pricing and contractually agreed coupon were compared, thereby determining the necessary surcharges/discounts.

UBM Development AG had paid back the mezzanine loan of TEUR 50,000 to PORR AG, effective 3 April 2018.
The valuation methods applied are subject to fluctuation of the three input factors. Any change in a single factor results in a respective change in value (e.g. if the mid swap increases by 1 BP, the receivable decreases in value by 1 BP).
Possible interdependencies have not been considered, as it is not possible to assume either a significant negative or a significant positive correlation; therefore any individual change would increase the overall valuation in the respective amount.

Managing financial risks, in particular liquidity risks and interest rate/currency risks are governed by standard Group guidelines. The management's aim is to minimise the risks as far as possible. Hence, derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments are used in line with evaluations. Nevertheless, in general the only risks which are anticipated are those which have consequences on the Group's cash flow. Derivative financial instruments are used exclusively as hedging instruments, i.e. they are not used for trade or other speculative purposes.
All hedge transactions are performed centrally by the Group treasury, unless in specific cases other Group companies are authorised to conclude transactions outside the Group treasury. An internal control system designed around current requirements has been implemented to monitor and control risks linked to money market and foreign exchange trading. All Group treasury activities are subject to strict risk/processing control, the cornerstone of which is the functional separation of commerce, processing and accounting.
The liquidity risk is defined as the risk that liabilities cannot be paid upon maturity.
Managing the liquidity risk is based on a financial plan updated once a quarter, which originates at operational level. For all projects a designated commercial employee conducts individual and monthly planning for the current year and for the subsequent years. The operational component involves planning all cash-related financial issues such as due dates for financing, M&A and capital market transactions, interest and dividends; this is performed centrally at holding level with the person holding Group responsibility.
At year-end 2018 the Group had a liquidity level of TEUR 319,674; this liquidity is used on the one hand for the seasonal peak liquidity demand from April to November (typical to the construction industry), as well as for settling loans due, Schuldscheindarlehen instalments and bonds, and for corporate acquisitions. Should additional liquidity demand arise, this could provisionally be covered by drawing on existing lines of credit.
As of 31 December 2018 net debt, defined as the balance from cash and cash equivalents, debt securities in current assets, bonds and current and non-current financial liabilities, amounted to TEUR 150,184 (previous year: TEUR 147,429).
Current financial liabilities, defined as the current portion of bonds and de facto current financial liabilities, amount to TEUR 106,130 (previous year: TEUR 125,401) and are covered by cash and cash equivalents and assets held for sale of TEUR 319,699 (previous year: TEUR 364,271).
Bonds and Schuldscheindarlehen worth TEUR 175,586 (previous year: TEUR 233,639) were part of non-current financial liabilities of TEUR 363,728 (previous year: TEUR 380,735).
As of 31 December 2018 there was TEUR 396,500 (previous year: TEUR 233,000) available in bank lines for cash loans, which could be drawn on for the immediate refinancing of current financial liabilities. With regard to the syndicated guaranteed credit line which was granted and used, see note 40.
As of 31 December 2018 there was TEUR 783,963 (previous year: TEUR 569,123) in disposable liquidity, defined as the sum of funds available in bank accounts and confirmed, unused money market facilities.

Payables to consortiums and other financial liabilities largely lead to cash outflows at the carrying amounts upon maturity.
The Group's interest rate risk is defined as the risk from rising interest cost or falling interest income in connection with financial items. For PORR this risk results primarily from the scenario of rises in interest rates, especially in the short term. Any future hedge transactions that are required will be concluded by the Group treasury. At the end of the reporting period, the management of this risk was conducted with non-derivative instruments as well as three interest rate swaps totalling TEUR 123,000 and three interest rate swaps with start dates in the future totalling TEUR 155,000. All derivative hedges are designated as cash-flow hedges. The basic purpose of the interest rate swaps is to refinance Schuldscheindarlehen at the variable EURIBOR rate. The hedging ratio of the swaps is 100%. All interest rate swaps relate to swapping variable interest flows for fixed interest flows. As of 31 December 2018 the market value of the interest rate swaps had a fair value of TEUR -1,756 (previous year: TEUR 1,210).

As of 31 December 2018 the Group used the following derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks:
An analysis of the floating interest rate position as of 31 December 2018 amounting to around TEUR 200,966 showed the following sensitivities that would occur under the scenarios of an interest rate increase of 0.01 PP. The extent of the interest rate increase is based on the average volatility of the 3-month and 6-month EURIBOR in 2018. An unchanged interest rate therefore falls statistically within a probability band of 67% and the probability of an interest rate bandwidth of 1 BPS is respectively 99%. The simulated impact on interest rates is as follows:
| in TEUR | higher interest expense for the year 2019 | higher interest expense (p. a.) with straight-line extrapolation from 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| at interest rate rise of 0.01 PP | 6 | 20 |
The foreign currency risk is treated within the PORR Group as transaction-oriented and results either from construction contracts or from financing in connection with such contracts. Group policy is to hedge the operational foreign currency risks completely. In accordance with the respective functional currency of the Group unit which is processing the order, we aim to conduct local orders in the corresponding national currencies. This happens in every instance in which the services to be rendered are locally generated. If this does not succeed, or if services must be provided in other currencies, the resulting risk is secured by hedging. With regard to derivative financial instruments, the Group treasury exclusively use forward contracts and first generation currency options (see note 43.8.).

The PORR Group had concluded forward exchange contracts of TEUR 148,787 (previous year: TEUR 185,445) as of 31 December 2018; of these, TEUR 75,283 were forward purchases and TEUR 73,504 were forward sales. Around TEUR 72,860 (previous year: TEUR 83,774) are used as hedges for project cash flows and the remainder of TEUR 75,927 (previous year: TEUR 101,671) for hedging intragroup financing.
As of 31 December 2018 the market valuation of open forward exchange contracts resulted in a fair value of TEUR 2,178. In the business year 2018 total expense of TEUR 1,453 which resulted from changes in the fair value of forward contracts was recognised in profit or loss.

The risk related to receivables from customers can be classified as marginal, owing to the broad dispersion and ongoing creditworthiness checks. Specific to the industry, construction contracts require an advance payment by the general contractor which will not be covered by payments until a later date. To reduce the default risk, an extensive creditworthiness check is carried out and adequate sureties are agreed as far as possible.
The risk of default in the case of other original financial instruments stated under assets in the statement of financial position is also regarded as low because all contracting parties are financial institutions and other debtors with prime credit standing. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum risk of default. Where risks of default are recognised in relation to financial assets, account is taken of these risks by performing allowances for impairment. There are high levels of outstanding receivables which relate mostly to infrastructure projects for public clients or public companies. Except for these, there are no occurrences of concentration of operating risks arising from significant outstanding amounts from individual debtors.
As of 31 December 2018 the maximum credit risk amounted to TEUR 1,385,388 (previous year: TEUR 1,900,888) and relates mainly to loans, other financial investments and securities, other financial assets, trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The sale of 50% in H + E Haustechnik und Elektro GmbH was a related party transaction.
Outstanding accounts receivable are not secured and are settled in cash. With the exception of guarantees taken on for companies accounted for under the equity method which totalled TEUR 233 (previous year: TEUR 184), and for which no fees are generally charged, no guarantees were given nor were any enforced. No allowances were made in respect of amounts owed by related companies or persons, nor were any bad debt losses booked during the year under review.
Schuldscheindarlehen with a total volume of EUR 203m were placed with a value date of 15 February 2019, whereby the net liquidity influx amounted to EUR 183m after EUR 20m from old tranches was integrated into the new transaction and thereby prematurely extended. They were divided into four-, five- and seven-year tranches, each subject to fixed and variable interest rates. The issue also included a green tranche totalling EUR 31.5m, issued in line with the "Eligible Green Principles". A second party opinion to confirm adherence to these principles was provided by the independent ratings agency Sustainalytics. This deal involves refinancing environmentally sound, sustainable investments in PORR office buildings as well as investments in PORR's activities in the field of environmental engineering.
The Executive Board of PORR AG approved the consolidated financial statements and handed them over to the Supervisory Board on 18 April 2019.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PORR AG, Vienna, and of its subsidiaries (the Group) comprising the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our audit the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the legal regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and with requirements stated in par. 245a UGB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 (in the following "EU regulation") and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those regulations and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Austrian General Accepted Accounting Principles and professional requirements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
A large part of revenue and profits of the PORR group result from revenues from construction contracts, which are accounted in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. In 2018 this accounted for approximately 95% of revenue.
In general, revenue is realised over the period of the service rendered under application of the output method. Revenue and proportional profits are recorded on the basis of the stage of completion. If it is probable that total contract costs exceed the corresponding contract revenues an onerous contract provision is recorded for the expected total loss. Warranty obligations exist in relation to completed construction projects handed over to the client. For certain construction contracts PORR and its customers and/or suppliers have different views regarding contractual claims
and/or obligations of the PORR group. These differences are solved in negotiations with the contract partners, as well as in legal and extrajudicial (arbitration) proceedings. Claims are recognised when there is a contractual entitlement to the amount of consideration and they can be reliably assessed. Provisions for buildings are recognised for warranty claims, impending and claimed penalties and damages.
The assessment of contracts with customers until completion depends to a large extent on assumptions and expectations about future developments and completion of the projects and the outcome of negotiations and procedures with contract parties and is therefore, to a large extent, dependent on estimates. This is particularly the case with regard to the accounting for claims, the amount of the estimated total contract costs and corresponding profits as well as the amount of the contract revenues which have to be recognised in accordance with the PoC-method and the estimated expenses and obligations for penalties, damages and warranties.
The risk for the consolidated statements consists of the uncertainty of the accounting for contracts with customers and the related items in the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated income statement due to necessary assumptions and estimates and the misrepresentation of these items.
Information on accounting and measurement methods for the first-time application of IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers can be found in chapter 3 (New accounting standards) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Chapter 6 (Key assumptions and key sources of estimation uncertainty) contains information on substantial estimation uncertainty. Chapter 7 (Revenues) shows the share of revenues from construction contracts of total sales. The Trade receivables section (24) contains information on the carrying amounts of contract assets, related contract profits and the prepayments received, which have been measured in accordance with the POC method. Construction contracts which form a liability are shown as contract liabilities in disclosure note: Other liabilities (39.). Chapter 34 (Provisions) provides details on the composition and development of provisions for buildings.
In the course of our audit, we have gained an understanding of the processes relevant to the accounting of revenues from construction contracts and tested the effectiveness of selected internal controls. These controls mainly addressed the technical, legal and commercial review and approval of new contracts as well as the calculation and recognition process of contract revenue and contract cost. We also tested internal controls which relate to the internal monitoring and assessment of ongoing projects and calculations up to the completion after the end of the warranty period.
On the basis of the results of these control tests, we have drawn a sample of contracts with customers from constructions contracts for a more in-depth analysis. With focus on high estimation uncertainties and error risks, we have selected our sample considering various relevant parameters, e.g. margin and profit development, contract value, carrying amount, asserted and capitalized claims, disputed claims and internal reporting of risk management.
The audit procedures performed on the selected sample consisted primarily of:
Large-scale infrastructure projects are often carried out in consortiums.
The majority of these consortiums are classified as joint ventures on the basis of standard con-tracts pursuant to IFRS 11 and are accounted for using the equity method. The group's share of profit or loss of these consortiums are reported under the 'Share of profit/loss of companies accounted for under the equity method'. Revenue resulting from services provided to consortiums is presented under revenues from construction contracts. In 2018 services provided to consortiums amounted to approx. MEUR 195, approximately 70 % of the 'Share of profit/loss of companies accounted for under the equity method' account for proportional profits from consortiums.
In general consortiums are separate vehicles with an independent financial administration and organizational structure. The accounting for the consortium is partly performed by the PORR Group and partly by another partner. The profit determination within the consortium is carried out in accordance with the stipulations of the consortium/joint venture agreement and in order for these profits to be included in the PORR consolidated financial statements, they have to be adjusted to IFRS regulations, in particular IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
The accounting of the profit and loss shares and the resulting receivables and liabilities against consortiums is therefore not only dependent on the accounting for the contracts with customers and the associated uncertainties and risks, but also on the monitoring, adjusting and transferring of the consortium accounts to the IFRS consolidated financial statements of PORR.
Apart from the uncertainties arising from necessary estimations for the contracts with customers (refer to point 1. Accounting for construction contracts), the risk for the consolidated financial statements consists of errors resulting from transferring or adjusting the profits of the consortium.
Information on the accounting and measurement methods of the consortiums can be found in chapter 3 (New accounting standards) and chapter 5 (Accounting and measurement methods) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Chapter 20. (Shares in companies accounted for under the equity method) provides information on the revenues, results, assets and liabilities of significant consortiums, as well as the earnings from non-essential consortiums. In section 24 (Trade receivables), receivables are shown and liabilities against consortiums are disclosed in chapter 37. (Trade payables). Section 45 (Related Party Transactions) provides an overview of the transactions and the resulting balances with consortiums.
In the course of our audit, we have gained an understanding of the processes related to the accounting of consortiums and tested the effectiveness of selected internal controls. These controls mainly concerned the acceptance of construction contracts, conclusion of consortium agreements, involvement into the accounting of the consortiums and the monitoring and systematic recording and adjustment of the accounts of the consortiums into the PORR Group.
On the basis of the results of these control tests, we have drawn a sample from the contracts with customers handled by the consortiums and the related at-equity results, receivables and payables for a more in-depth analysis. With focus on high estimation uncertainties and error risks, we have selected our sample similar to the criteria for revenues from construction contracts considering various relevant parameters such as margin and profit development, contract value, asserted and capitalized claims, disputed claims and the amount of advance profits. In addition, the knowledge and experience gained from the monitoring and cooperation with various partners was taken into account.
For the selected sample, similar audit procedures were carried out to those for the testing of revenues from construction contracts (refer to point 1). In addition, our audit procedures relating to consortiums accounted for using the equity method included:
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and with requirements stated in par. 245a UGB, for them to present a true and fair view of the assets, the financial position and the financial performance of the Group and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Pursuant to Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Group management report is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as to whether it was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the Group's management report in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing for the audit of the Group's management report.
In our opinion, the management report for the group was prepared in accordance with the valid legal requirements and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
Based on the findings during the audit of the consolidated financial statements and due to the thus obtained understanding concerning the Group and its circumstances no material misstatements in the Group's management report came to our attention.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the Group's management report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, to consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
We were elected as auditor by the ordinary general meeting at May 29, 2018. We were appointed by the Supervisory Board on June 12, 2018. We are auditors without cease since 2002.
We confirm that the audit opinion in the section "Report on the consolidated financial statements" is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee referred to in article 11 of the EU regulation.
We declare that no prohibited non-audit services (article 5 par. 1 of the EU regulation) were provided by us and that we remained independent of the audited company in conducting the audit.
We provided no services, in addition to the statutory audit, to the audited company and its controlled undertakings, which have not been disclosed in the Group's management report or in the consolidated financial statements.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mr. Mag. Klemens Eiter, Certified Public Accountant.

This Annual Report contains statements relating to the future, which are based on estimates and assumptions made, to the best of their current knowledge, by managerial staff. Future-related statements may be identified as such by expressions such as "anticipated", "target" or similar constructions. Forecasts concerning the future development of the company take the form of estimates based on information available at the time of going to press. Actual results may differ from the forecasts where the assumptions on which these are based should prove incorrect or risks should develop in unforeseeable ways.
Every care has been taken in the compilation of this Annual Report to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information in all sections. However, roundoff, typesetting and printing errors cannot be completely ruled out. The figures have been rounded off.
This report is a translation into English of the 2018 Annual Report published in the German language and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. In the event of a discrepancy or translation error, the German-language version prevails.
Die Weltwirtschaft zeigte 2018 ein heterogenes Bild. Während sich die USA dank der Steuerreform und der höheren, öffentlichen Ausgaben besser entwickelten als im Vorjahr, verlor Europa an Dynamik. Im Wesentlichen zeichneten der Handelskonflikt zwischen den USA und China, die Unsicherheiten zum Brexit-Ausgang sowie Turbulenzen in Italien für diese Abkühlung verantwortlich. Insgesamt erreichte das BIP-Wachstum der Weltwirtschaft 2018 mit 3,7 % – laut Internationalem Währungsfonds (IWF) – erneut das Vorjahresniveau.1
Das BIP in den USA verzeichnete mit 2,9 % ein robustes Wachstum2 . Als Treiber fungierte die Steuerreform zu Beginn des Jahres 2018, die vor allem den privaten Konsum ankurbelte. Verlangsamend wirkten hingegen die vier Zinserhöhungen. Der Leitzins belief sich zum Jahresultimo auf 2,25 % bis 2,50 %3 .
Globale Konjunktursorgen und anhaltende Bedenken um den Brexit dämpften das Wachstum in der Eurozone, das laut IWF im Berichtsjahr 2018 bei 1,8 % lag4 . Trotz einer geringeren Wachstumsdynamik gehen Experten weiterhin von einer Verlängerung der moderaten Aufschwungphase für die Eurozone aus. Die europäische Zentralbank (EZB) beließ ihren Leitzinssatz unverändert bei 0,0 %5 . Das anhaltend niedrige Zinsumfeld begünstigte sowohl private als auch öffentliche Investitionen. Die Arbeitslosenquote im Euroraum lag im Dezember 2018 mit 7,9 % auf einem historischen Tiefststand. Die Beschäftigung erreichte ein Rekordniveau.6
In Deutschland erhöhte sich das BIP gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 1,5 % und wuchs damit zum neunten Mal in Folge – wenn auch mit geringerer Dynamik. Private und staatliche Konsumausgaben, gestiegene Investitionen der Unternehmen sowie der Bauboom trugen diesen Aufschwung. Das Exportgeschäft war als Wachstum-

streiber aufgrund der gesunkenen Auslandsnachfrage hingegen ausgefallen.7
Die Konjunkturdynamik in Österreich blieb 2018 in Fahrt und zeigte sich äußerst robust. Für das Gesamtjahr 2018 rechnen Experten mit einem Wachstum auf Vorjahresniveau von 2,7 %8. Die stabile Binnenkonjunktur und der Außenhandel lieferten hierzu maßgeblich positive Impulse9 . Damit liegt Österreich über dem europäischen Durchschnitt.
In den CESEE-Ländern führte die Wirtschaft ihren Wachstumskurs fort. Investitionen aus Mitteln des europäischen Kohäsionsfonds und sinkende Arbeitslosigkeit förderten die Wirtschaftsleistung. Vor diesem Hintergrund wuchs das polnische BIP im Berichtsjahr um 4,8 %. Auch in Tschechien zeigte sich eine positive Entwicklung mit einem Wachstum von 3,0 %.10
Das Wachstum im europäischen Bausektor setzte sich auch 2018 fort, wenn auch mit einer geringeren Intensität. Mit einem Plus von 2,8 % lag der Zuwachs laut Euroconstruct deutlich unter dem Vorjahresniveau von rund 4,1 %. Allerdings zeigt der Wachstumstrend in die richtige Richtung – bis 2020 rechnen Experten mit einem kumulierten Anstieg von rund 5,0 %. Das Wachstum wird sich zwar abschwächen, bleibt insgesamt aber weiterhin auf hohem Niveau. Die gedämpften Erwartungen sind zum Großteil auf die starke Kapazitätsauslastung in der Bauindustrie, den anhaltenden Fachkräftemangel sowie deutlich gestiegene Preise bei Baumaterialien und Logistik zurückzuführen.11
Der Wachstumsschwerpunkt verlagerte sich 2018 vom Hochbau auf den Tiefbau. Während der Hochbau im Berichtszeitraum erheblich langsamer wuchs als in den vergangenen Jahren, stieg das Volumen im Tiefbau in

den Euroconstruct-Ländern um 5,0 %. Die Expansion des Tiefbauvolumens sollte laut Experten bis 2021 andauern und ist auf den Ausbau- sowie Erweiterungsbedarf der Verkehrsinfrastruktur zurückzuführen. Am stärksten profitieren die Länder in Zentral- und Osteuropa, in die bis 2020 Mittel aus dem EU-Strukturfonds fließen. Dies sorgt für positive Aussichten vor allem für die Verkehrswegeinfrastruktur.12
Der Hochbau verzeichnete einen Gesamtanstieg von 2,3 %. Der Wohnungsneubau halbierte beinahe – im Vergleich zum Vorjahr – sein Wachstum auf 5,5 %. Euroconstruct erwartet in dem Bereich eine weitere Abflachung. Der sonstige Hochbau legte in Westeuropa nur mäßig zu, dafür wies der osteuropäische Raum einen kräftigen Zuwachs von 10,2 % auf.13
Mit einem Wachstum des Bauvolumens von 2,3 % lag Österreich laut Euroconstruct über dem westeuropäischen Durchschnitt. Positive Impulse lieferte hier vor allem der Wohnungsneubau, der einen Anstieg von 2,7 % verzeichnete. Mittelfristig kann dieses hohe Wachstumsniveau im Hochbau allerdings nicht gehalten werden, die treibende Rolle übernimmt zukünftig der Tiefbau.14
Mit EUR 332 Mrd. Bauvolumen wies Deutschland weiterhin ein hohes Niveau auf. Das Wachstumstempo verlangsamte sich 2018 laut Experten auf 1,3 %. Kapazitätsengpässe bei Fachpersonal, Subunternehmern und hohe Baukosten dämpfen die Erwartungen für 2019. Osteuropa dürfte laut Euroconstruct mit rund 9,1 % 2019 weiter wachsen, für Polen und Tschechien wird mit jeweils 10,1 % und 6,9 % gerechnet.15

In der PORR AG werden neben der Erbringung von Serviceleistungen auch Holdingfunktionen für die gesamte PORR-Gruppe ausgeübt. Die im Folgenden angeführten Werte und Aussagen beziehen sich ausschließlich auf den Jahresabschluss der PORR AG.
Die PORR AG weist in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung des Jahres 2018 Umsatzerlöse in Höhe von EUR 145,1 Mio. aus (Vorjahr: EUR 124,8 Mio.), die vor allem aus Serviceleistungen erwirtschaftet wurden.
Das von dritter Seite beauftragte Projekt "neue arbeitswelt" wurde im Geschäftsjahr 2018 übergeben und abgerechnet, wodurch sich eine Veränderung des Bestandes an noch nicht abrechenbaren Leistungen in Höhe von EUR -3,8 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 3,8 Mio.) ergibt.
Die sonstigen betrieblichen Erträge beinhalten Erträge aus Zuschüssen und Kursgewinnen und reduzierten sich um EUR 0,3 Mio. auf EUR 0,5 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 0,8 Mio.).
Die Aufwendungen für Material sowie die Aufwendungen für bezogene Herstellungsleistungen erhöhten sich um EUR 5,2 Mio. und betrugen EUR 16,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 11,1 Mio.). Grund dafür sind vor allem Aufwendungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Projekt "neue arbeitswelt".
Der durchschnittliche Mitarbeiterstand stieg im Jahr 2018 von 409 Mitarbeitern auf 477 Mitarbeiter. Der Personalaufwand erhöhte sich um EUR 8,9 Mio. auf EUR 46,5 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 37,6 Mio.) und damit um 23,7 %.
Die Abschreibungen auf die immateriellen Vermögenswerte und Sachanlagen stiegen um 20,6 % bzw. EUR 2,1 Mio. auf EUR 12,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 10,2 Mio.). Erhöhte Investitionen in neue Hardwaretechnologien führten zu dieser Steigerung.
Die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen erhöhten sich um EUR 9,8 Mio. auf EUR 67,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 57,9 Mio.). Die darin enthaltenen Positionen betreffen vorwiegend Rechts- und Beratungskosten (EUR 9,4 Mio.), Avalprovisionen (EUR 14,3 Mio.), Kosten des Bürobetriebs (EUR 16,8 Mio.), Aufwendungen für Häuser und Grundstücke (EUR 9,1 Mio.), Gebühren und sonstige Steuern (EUR 1,5 Mio.), Werbekosten (EUR 5,6 Mio.) und Aufwendungen für den Fuhrpark (EUR 0,3 Mio.).
Das Betriebsergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) beträgt EUR -1,1 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 12,5 Mio.).
Das Beteiligungsergebnis verbesserte sich um EUR 52,6 Mio. auf EUR 97,4 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 44,8 Mio.). Höhere Ergebnisbeiträge kamen vor allem von der PORR Construction Holding GmbH und der PORR Bauindustrie GmbH aufgrund der Ergebnisübernahme der PORR Bau GmbH. Deren Ergebnisanstieg liegt im Wesentlichen in der Abrechnung des U-Bahnprojektes in Katar begründet.
Das sonstige Finanzergebnis in Höhe von EUR 6,0 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR -0,1 Mio.) resultiert hauptsächlich aus der Zuschreibung zu Finanzanlagen (EUR 6,2 Mio.) und zeigt somit eine Veränderung von EUR 6,1 Mio. Aufgrund geringerer Erträge aus Ausleihungen stieg das negative Zinsergebnis im Jahr 2018 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um EUR -3,9 Mio. auf EUR -8,8 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR -4,9 Mio.).
Ausgehend von einem EBT von EUR 93,4 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 52,3 Mio.) ergibt sich nach den Steuern vom Einkommen und Ertrag ein Jahresüberschuss von EUR 85,9 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 50,6 Mio.).

Die Bilanzsumme der PORR AG betrug zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2018 EUR 1.139,8 Mio. und wies somit nur eine geringe Erhöhung von EUR 7,3 Mio. gegenüber dem Vorjahreswert von EUR 1.132,5 Mio. aus.
Auf der Aktivseite bildete das Anlagevermögen mit einem Anteil von 69,0 % den Schwerpunkt der Bilanzsumme und belief sich per Jahresende 2018 auf insgesamt EUR 786,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 747,9 Mio.). Die immateriellen Vermögenswerte und Sachanlagen verzeichneten einen Anstieg um 13,3 % auf insgesamt EUR 58,8 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 51,9 Mio.). Der höchste Zuwachs lag bei den Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen in Höhe von EUR 81,5 Mio. auf EUR 682,5 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 601,0 Mio.). Die sonstigen Ausleihungen verringerten sind um EUR 50,1 Mio. auf EUR 27,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 77,4 Mio.) im Wesentlichen durch die Rückzahlung des an die UBM Development AG gewährten Mezzanindarlehens.
Maßgebliche Änderungen des Umlaufvermögens waren die Verringerung der Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen um EUR 12,7 Mio. auf EUR 311,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 324,4 Mio.) sowie der Rückgang der liquiden Mittel um EUR 16,9 Mio. auf EUR 4,9 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 21,8 Mio.).
Die Eigenkapitalquote (inkl. Mezzaninkapital) stieg zum Bilanzstichtag um 4,5 % auf 51,4 % (Vorjahr 46,9 %).
Die Rückstellungen zeigen einen Anstieg von EUR 13,6 Mio. auf EUR 63,0 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 49,4 Mio.), der vorwiegend auf die Veränderung der Steuerrückstellungen zurückzuführen ist. Hauptgrund für die Reduzierung der Verbindlichkeiten um 10,9 % bzw. EUR 60,0 Mio. auf EUR 491,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 551,3 Mio.) ist die Tilgung von Anleihen bzw. Schuldscheindarlehen.
Die Kapitalflussrechnung stellt die Verwendung und die Herkunft der liquiden Mittel des Unternehmens dar.
Der Cashflow aus laufender Geschäftstätigkeit mit EUR 89,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 42,1 Mio.) resultierte größtenteils aus dem Ergebnis sowie der Veränderung der Forderungen bzw. Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen. Die Veränderungen des Konzern-Cash-Pools werden im Cashflow aus Finanzierungs- bzw. Investitionstätigkeit berücksichtigt.
Der Cashflow aus Investitionstätigkeit veränderte sich von EUR -203,8 Mio. im Jahr 2017 auf EUR 1,8 Mio. im Jahr 2018 und beinhaltet Mittelzuflüsse aus der Veränderung von Cash-Poolveranlagungen in Höhe von EUR 43,2 Mio. sowie aus der Rückzahlung des an die UBM Development AG gewährten Mezzanindarlehens in Höhe von EUR 50,0 Mio. Auf Investitionen in Finanzanlagen entfielen EUR -75,3 Mio. und auf Investitionen in Sachanlagen und immateriellen Vermögenswerten EUR -19,3 Mio.
Im Cashflow aus Finanzierungstätigkeit in Höhe von EUR 108,4 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 122,6 Mio.) ist die Tilgung der Anleihe 2013 bzw. einer Tranche des Schuldscheindarlehens 2015 enthalten. An die Aktionäre der PORR AG wurde für das Berichtsjahr 2017 eine Dividende in Höhe von EUR 31,8 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 31,8 Mio.) ausgeschüttet.
Zum Jahresende 2018 wies die PORR AG liquide Mittel von EUR 4,9 Mio. (31. Dezember 2017: EUR 21,8 Mio.) aus.

Die PORR ist sich der Auswirkungen ihrer Geschäftstätigkeit auf die Gesellschaft und die Umwelt bewusst. Sie sind vielfältig und erfordern eine zukunftsorientierte, gruppenweit gültige Strategie. Dabei stellen Arbeitnehmer- und Sozialbelange wichtige Schwerpunkte dar. Zudem ist aufgrund des hohen Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauchs der Umweltbereich von zentraler Bedeutung.
Die PORR bekennt sich zu einer nachhaltigen Unternehmensführung, wobei die Grundsätze in der gemeinsam mit dem Vorstand erarbeiteten Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie festgeschrieben wurden. Darüber hinaus folgt das Unternehmen den Prinzipien des UN Global Compact und unterstützt die Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDGs). Die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie der PORR beruht auf den drei Säulen Wertschöpfung, Wertschätzung und Werterhalt – sie spiegeln die drei Nachhaltigkeitsdimensionen Ökonomie, Ökologie und Soziales wider.
Sie forciert dabei einen integrativen Ansatz, d. h. eine Verknüpfung aller drei Nachhaltigkeitsdimensionen. Die relevanten Aspekte wurden im Rahmen einer Wesentlichkeitsanalyse priorisiert und betreffen unter anderem die Themen Energie und Emissionen, nachhaltige Beschaffung, Sicherheit und Vorsorge, umweltschonender Materialverbrauch, Aus- und Weiterbildung, Compliance, Beschäftigung, Vielfalt und Chancengleichheit sowie innovative Technologien. In der Folge wird ein kurzer Überblick über die wesentlichen Themenfelder geliefert - detailliertere Informationen finden Sie im gesonderten nichtfinanziellen Bericht. Der PORR Nachhaltigkeitsbericht wurde in Übereinstimmung mit der GRI Standards Option "Kern" erstellt und entspricht den Anforderungen des österreichischen NaDiVeG.
Die PORR ist bestrebt, ihre Energieeffizienz stetig zu verbessern und damit den Energiebedarf zu senken.
Dazu tragen die eingeführten Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen im Bereich Transport und Gebäudeinfrastruktur (z. B. Green und Blue Building) und der Einsatz erneuerbarer Energiequellen bei. Weiters sollen die Treibhausgasemissionen (THG-Emissionen) gesenkt und die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Brennstoffen reduziert werden. In diesen Bereich fallen auch die Förderung von Bauten mit Nachhaltigkeitszertifikaten, die Verringerung von transportbedingten Emissionen und Verschmutzungen sowie die Reduktion des negativen ökologischen Impacts. Auch die Verwendung von alternativen Antrieben und Energien, einem zentral gesteuerten Geräte- und Fuhrparkmanagement, dem Einsatz von Baumaschinen der neuesten Generation, der Modernisierung alter Produktionsanlagen und einer optimierten Baustellenlogistik tragen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und zur Reduktion der THG-Emissionen bei.
Die PORR hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, bis 2020 ihren Primärenergieverbrauch und die spezifischen THG-Emissionen jährlich um mindestens 1,5 % zu senken. Das entspricht für den Zeitraum 2015 bis 2020 einer Reduktion von 7,5 %. Darüber hinaus setzt sie auf die Weiterentwicklung von Zertifizierungssystemen, die Umsetzung der Energieeffizienzrichtlinie und regelmäßige Energieaudits.
Bei der Auswahl ihrer Geschäftspartner, Lieferanten etc. berücksichtigt die PORR die im Ethik Kodex dargelegten Grundsätze. Als nachhaltig agierendes Unternehmen ist der PORR ein wirksamer Schutz der Arbeitnehmer sowie der Umwelt in ihrem Einfluss- bzw. Verantwortungsbereich besonders wichtig. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf dem Aufbau langfristig stabiler Lieferanten- und Subunternehmerbeziehungen – mit hohem Augenmerk auf die Bereiche Arbeitssicherheit, Umwelt und Menschenrechte. Um die Qualität und das Vertrauen in die vorwiegend regionalen Zulieferer zu erhöhen, setzt die PORR auf eine Reduktion der Lieferantenanzahl und den Einsatz von Lead Buyers. So werden länderabhängig zwischen 60 % und 95 % des Einkaufs über lokale Lieferanten abgewickelt. Die verstärkte Kooperation mit örtlichen Lieferanten und eine verbesserte Transportlogistik sollen auch Umweltbelastungen wie Luftschadstoffemissionen entgegenwirken. Umweltvorfälle bzw. Abweichungen im Umwelt- und Sozialbereich werden in der Lieferantendatenbank vermerkt und mittels Ampelsystem bewertet. Eine Nichteinhaltung der geltenden Standards kann bis zur Sperre für weitere Beauftragungen führen.
Hohe Priorität kommt auch dem Bereich Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheit zu. Mit der Vision Zero bzw. dem Ziel der Reduktion der Unfallhäufigkeit bis 2020 auf weniger als zehn verfolgt die PORR eine klar definierte Präventionsstrategie. Um diese Ziele im Bereich Sicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz zu erreichen, finden flächendeckende Arbeitssicherheitsschulungen und Safety Walks mit Unterstüztung eines selbstentwickelten Sicherheits-Apps auf den Baustellen statt. Darüber hinaus wurde im Rahmen der Diversity Initiative "We@ PORR" eine betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung eingeführt, die die Umsetzung und Evaluierung gesundheitsförderlicher, verhaltens- und verhältnisorientierter Maßnahmen umfasst. Der in der PORR gruppenweit gültige Standard ISO 45001 beschreibt die Anforderungen an ein modernes, betriebliches Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz-Managementsystem und löst den bisherigen Standard BS OHSAS 18001 ab.
In der Bauwirtschaft verursacht der Einsatz von Baumaterialien eine starke Belastung für die Umwelt. Daher liegt das Augenmerk auf einer hohen Ressourceneffizienz, der verbesserten Materialverwertung sowie der Entwicklung neuer Baustoffe und Bauweisen. Die PORR hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, möglichst viele Materialien wiederzuverwerten. Dabei soll der Anteil der Recyclingbaustoffe erhöht und ressourcenschonende Verfahren weiterentwickelt werden. Für diesen Zweck besitzt die PORR Anlagen, in denen Recyclingbaustoffe und Sekundärrohstoffe qualitätsgesichert hergestellt werden können. Materialien, die bisher als Abfälle klassifiziert und dementsprechend einer Deponierung zugeführt wurden, werden in verwertbare Baustoffe umgewandelt.
Um Herausforderungen wie den demografischen Wandel oder den Fachkräftemangel zu meistern, liegt ein zentraler Fokus der PORR auf der Personalentwicklung. Durch die individuelle Förderung und Weiterentwicklung von Stärken und Kompetenzen sollen die hohe Innovationskraft erhalten, das Know-how gesichert sowie die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit ausgebaut werden.
Um dem herrschenden Fachkräftemangel entgegenzusteuern, werden bereits Schüler im Rahmen von bereichsrelevanten Messen oder mittels Medien auf die PORR aufmerksam gemacht. Schwerpunkte bilden dabei die Förderung von Talenten und die fundierte Ausbildung der Fachkräfte von morgen. In der Personalentwicklung werden außerdem vermehrt neue digitale Medien wie Webinare, E-Learnings etc. eingesetzt. Die Schulungen umfassen ein breites Spektrum an Themen und reichen von den Grundlagen der Kommunikation über interkulturelle Trainings bis zu rechtlichen Themen wie etwa Ausländerbeschäftigung. Wichtige Plattformen hierzu bieten der neu gegründete PORR Ausbildungscampus sowie die neue Arbeitswelt mit modernen Arbeitsplätzen.
Nährere Angaben zur Personalentwicklung finden sich auch im Abschnitt Mitarbeiter.
Das Compliance-System der PORR kommt in allen Niederlassungen zur Anwendung. Es umfasst sämtliche relevante Aspekte wie Anti-Korruption, fairen Wettbewerb, Sozialdumping oder die Weitergabe von Informationen. Faires und transparentes Verhalten hat in der PORR hohe Priorität, da durch unlauteren Wettbewerb und unfaire Geschäftspraktiken nicht nur ein Imageschaden entstehen kann, sondern auch der Wirtschaftsstandort in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird. Die PORR setzt die lokalen gesetzlichen Steuer- und Handelspraktiken um und verfügt zudem über einen gruppenweit verpflichtenden Ethik Kodex. Mittels Compliance-Vorträgen sowie Anti-Korruptions- und Emittenten-Compliance-Schulungen soll die Awareness der Mitarbeiter in Bezug auf Compliance-Themen verstärkt werden. Die PORR ist nach nationalen (ONR 192050) und internationalen (ISO 19600, ISO 37001) Standards für ihr Compliance-Managementsystem zertifiziert.
Eine Kontrolle der Einhaltung von Menschenrechten ist angesichts der branchentypisch sehr komplexen Lieferkette mit mehreren Subunternehmerebenen nicht immer leicht. Deshalb verfügt die PORR neben ihrem klaren Bekenntnis zu den Prinzipien des UN Global Compact auch über einen für die gesamte Lieferkette verpflichtend einzuhaltenden Ethik Kodex. Darüber hinaus werden Themen wie Kinder- oder Zwangsarbeit im Lieferanten-Stammdatenblatt aufgegriffen. Um Fremdpersonal besser überprüfen zu können, wurde das Ausweis- und Nachweisdokumentensystem ISHAP eingeführt, welches sukzessive auf die PORR Märkte ausgerollt wird.
Aufgrund komplexer Arbeitsprozesse sind faire Arbeitspraktiken und die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Auflagen in der Baubranche besonders wichtig. Der Ethik Kodex und die Richtlinie zur Vermeidung illegaler Beschäftigung und Sozialdumping dienen dabei als Leitfaden. Ein etwaiges Fehlverhalten im Sozialbereich in der Lieferkette wird im Lieferantenmanagementsystem erfasst und bewertet. Die PORR setzt einen starken Fokus auf Aus- und Weiterbildung – Stichwort qualifiziertes Eigenpersonal – und hat zahlreiche Maßnahmen ergriffen, um den veränderten Erwartungen der Arbeitnehmer an den Arbeitgeber zu entsprechen.
Als zukunftsorientierte Arbeitgeberin mit einer großen Zahl an Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen sieht die PORR in der Vielfalt ihrer Mitarbeiter einen wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktor. Dies war auch die Motivation für die Implementierung der Diversity Initiative "We@PORR". Im Fokus stehen einerseits die Verbesserung der Rahmenbedingungen für die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Privatleben und andererseits diversityspezifische Inhalte wie die Geschlechtergleichbehandlung, Alter, Menschen mit Behinderung, ethnische Zugehörigkeit etc. Mit gezielten Maßnahmen stärkt die PORR sowohl die Motivation und Leistungsbereitschaft ihrer Arbeitnehmer als auch deren Innovationspotenzial und Sozialkompetenz.
Sowohl bei Planungsprozessen als auch in der Bauausführung ist die Entwicklung innovativer Lösungen unverzichtbar. Ebenso forciert die PORR beim Thema Recycling den Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbereich. So werden im Umweltlabor Verwertungsverfahren für Abfälle verschiedenster Art und Kontamination entwickelt. Damit sollen Schadstoffreaktionen verringert und Abfälle einer fachgerechten Entsorgung zugeführt werden. Die Herausforderung liegt dabei in den immer neuen Schadstoffkombinationen. Dies erfordert Investitionen sowohl in neue Analysegeräte als auch in die Entwicklung von Verfahren, um die Effizienz zu steigern und ökonomische sowie ökologische Entscheidungen treffen zu können.
Die Entwicklung innovativer Lösungen ist ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil beim Planungsprozess und in der Bauausführung. Die PORR strebt in vielen Bereichen der Bautechnologie nach der technologischen Führerschaft. Insgesamt beschäftigte das Unternehmen in Österreich im Berichtsjahr 2018 rund 100 Personen im Bereich Forschung, Entwicklung und Innovation. Auch operative Einheiten unterstützen die Innovationsprojekte – die Organisation erfolgt im Bereich Wissensmanagement. Als Anlaufstelle bietet die Abteilung PORR Technologiemanagement und Innovation (PTI) umfassende Beratung und Support in allen Innovationsfragen.
Der zentralen Bedeutung des Themas wurde auch durch den Ideenwettbewerb 2017 Rechnung getragen. Dessen Ergebnisse wurden 2018 in einigen Bereichen bereits umgesetzt: So wurden im Spezialtiefbau neue Verfahren untersucht, um Schlitzwände effizienter herzustellen. Für abdichtende Bodeninjektionen wurden neue, ökologisch nachhaltige Materialien entwickelt. Eine neue App leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Arbeitssicherheit auf den Baustellen. Dabei wird die Kontrolle strukturiert und die Dokumentation verbessert.
In mehreren Forschungsprojekten kooperiert die PORR mit Universitäten und anderen Forschungseinrichtungen. Gegenstand der Forschungstätigkeit waren sowohl die Optimierung der Organisation von Bauabläufen (Lean
Management) als auch Themen wie Baustoffe und Baukonstruktionen. Nachhaltige Lösungen durch längere Lebenszyklen und geringstmögliche Umweltauswirkungen sind das Ziel. Die PORR Umwelttechnik hat daher ein neues Projekt zur Verwertung von Sekundärrohstoffen angestoßen. Die Ergebnisse tragen zur Erhöhung des Recyclinganteils und zum Erreichen der Klimaschutzziele bei.
Projekte zur Digitalisierung von Bauvorhaben wurden nicht nur in Österreich, sondern auch in Deutschland, Rumänien und Polen durchgeführt. Die PORR verstärkte ihre Kompetenz im Building Information Modeling. Dabei werden Augmented Reality und Virtual Reality als unterstützende Tools genutzt. Verschiedene Systeme zur Digitalisierung und Optimierung der Baustofflogistik wurden bereits in den operativen Einheiten ausgerollt, während im Tunnelbau ein Softwarepaket zur digitalen Baudokumentation entwickelt wird.
Der Tunnelbau und der Bau von Festen Fahrbahnen für Eisenbahnen sind Technologien, bei denen sich die PORR bereits im internationalen Spitzenfeld befindet. Um den Anforderungen ihrer Kunden gerecht zu werden und die speziellen Herausforderungen zu meistern, die aktuelle Großprojekte mit sich bringen, wurden neue Weichensysteme und Tunnelsegmente für hohe Auflasten hergestellt.
Im Berichtszeitraum 2018 wurden sowohl nationale als auch internationale Patente eingereicht.
Für 2019 rechnet der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) mit einem sich geringfügig verlangsamenden Wachstum der Weltwirtschaft. Die Gründe für das BIP-Wachstum von 3,5 % liegen in den anhaltenden Handelskonflikten und der Brexit-Debatte, der erwarteten Straffung der Geldpolitik sowie zunehmenden Kapazitätseinschränkungen in der Industrie. Auch im Euroraum sollte sich eine moderate Entwicklung fortsetzen – der IWF geht von einem BIP-Wachstum in Höhe von 1,6 % aus.1
Die Baumärkte Europas, auf welche die PORR ihre Geschäftstätigkeit fokussiert, wiesen 2018 weiterhin einen positiven Trend aus. Dies spiegelte sich in den hohen Auftragsbeständen und im erneuten Anstieg der Beschäftigungszahlen wider. Dagegen rechnen Experten für 2019 mit einer verhalteneren Entwicklung als in den vergangenen Jahren. Die herrschende Vollauslastung und der anhaltende Fachkräftemangel, die Engpässe bei Nachunternehmern, die steigenden Baupreise sowie Lohnkosten setzen der Ausweitung der Geschäftstätigkeit natürliche Grenzen.2
Während das Wachstum 2018 vom Wohnbau getrieben wurde, wird künftig vor allem im Tiefbau mit höheren Zuwachsraten gerechnet. Alle fünf Heimmärkte sollten von diesem Markttrend – insbesondere in dem Bereich Infrastruktur – profitieren. Gleichzeitig hat die öffentliche Hand größere Finanzierungsspielräume als vor einigen Jahren3 . In Deutschland rechnen die Experten mit einem Anstieg der Investitionen durch den Bundesverkehrswegeplan 2030 – insbesondere in die Verkehrsinfrastruktur4 .Dieser Trend wird ebenso in Österreich beobachtet – alleine die ASFINAG wird bis 2023 EUR 7,8 Mrd. in den Neubau, die Erweiterung und Erneuerung des bestehenden Verkehrsnetzes investieren5 . Selbst in der Schweiz, die bereits über ein sehr gut ausgebautes Eisenbahnnetz verfügt, wird kräftig investiert6 . Für Ost- und Mitteleuropa rechnen Experten für 2019 mit einem stark wachsenden Bauvolumen, das hauptsächlich auf die Mittel aus dem
EU-Strukturfonds zurückzuführen ist. Für Polen und Tschechien wird mit jeweils 10,1 % bzw. 6,9 % Wachstum gerechnet7 .
Trotz kräftigem Rückenwind in der Auftragslage gestalten sich die Rahmenbedingungen in Europa sehr herausfordernd. Der anhaltende Fachkräftemangel, die Engpässe bei Nachunternehmern sowie steigende Baupreise und Lohnkosten dämpfen die Erwartungen – dies gilt für alle Heimmärkte der PORR. Dieser Trend verstärkte sich 2018 vor allem in Polen, ein Ende der Entwicklung ist derzeit schwer einzuschätzen. So führte die Überhitzung am Arbeitsmarkt im Berichtszeitraum zu erheblichen Lohnkostensteigerungen und Engpässen in der Logistik, die Preise für Rohstoffe und Baumaterialien stiegen zum Teil im zweistelligen Prozentbereich. Andererseits reflektieren die neu gewonnen Aufträge bereits das aktuelle Preisniveau und bilden damit die Basis für eine gesunde Auftragssituation.
Die stabile Geschäftsentwicklung im Berichtszeitraum bestätigt die PORR in ihrer strategischen Ausrichtung. Klarer Fokus bleibt auch für 2019 die operative Exzellenz. Auf Basis der dargestellten Annahmen in den Heimmärkten und des hohen Auftragsbestands ist der Vorstand optimistisch, das hohe Leistungsniveau von EUR 5.593 Mio. auch 2019 moderat steigern zu können.
Die PORR hält an ihrer nachhaltigen und verlässlichen Dividendenpolitik fest. Für das Geschäftsjahr 2018 geht der Vorstand weiterhin davon aus, der Hauptversammlung eine im Vergleich zum Vorjahr unveränderte Dividende von EUR 1,10 vorzuschlagen. Mit einer Dividendenrendite von rund 6,3 % basierend auf dem Jahresschlusskurs 2018 bleibt die PORR unter den Top-Dividendentiteln der Branche.
Der tatsächliche Geschäftsverlauf in 2019 kann allerdings, abhängig von exogenen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Faktoren sowie der Saisonalität der Baubranche, von den aktuellen Erwartungen abweichen.

Das effektive Risikomanagement gehört für die PORR seit Langem zu den wichtigsten Grundlagen jedes wirtschaftlichen Handelns und sichert ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Sollten Risiken in einem der Geschäftsfelder oder Märkte der PORR schlagend werden, so könnte dies negative Auswirkungen auf den Unternehmenserfolg haben. Ziel des Risikomanagements ist es daher, Risiken zu erkennen und diese bei gleichzeitiger Aufrechterhaltung des unternehmerischen Ertragspotenzials zu minimieren. Das Risikomanagement in der PORR zielt darauf ab, notwendige organisatorische Prozesse, mit deren Hilfe Risiken frühzeitig erkannt werden können, sowie Maßnahmen zur Gegensteuerung kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln bzw. zu implementieren. Im Folgenden werden die für die PORR wesentlichen bekannten Risiken aufgelistet, die einen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens haben können.
Die Marktrisiken resultieren aus den Veränderungen der makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen in den wesentlichen PORR Märkten. Weiters ergeben sich aufgrund der konjunkturellen Disparitäten in den jeweiligen Märkten für die PORR divergierende Nachfragesituationen. Die PORR reagiert auf die Schwankungen in den nationalen Märkten und Geschäftssegmenten und auf die gegenwärtigen, geopolitischen Unsicherheiten mit einer Konzentration auf die Heimmärkte Österreich, Deutschland, Schweiz, Polen und Tschechien. In den Projektmärkten Katar, VAE, Großbritannien, Slowakei, Rumänien und Norwegen und hinkünftig in den Zielmärkten Schweden und Dänemark bietet die PORR nur für ausgewählte Projekte die Exportprodukte in den Bereichen Tunnelbau, Bahnbau und Spezialgrundbau an.
Dieses Risiko weist unterschiedliche Aspekte auf. Einerseits ist die Baubranche ein sehr energieintensives Gewerbe. Der hohe Verbrauch und die damit einhergehenden Emissionen sind vor allem dem Baustellenbetrieb und dem Gütertransport geschuldet. Aus diesem Grund setzt die PORR auf Energieeffizienz im Geräte- und Fuhrparkmanagement, auf eine verbesserte Transportlogistik sowie wo möglich auf erneuerbare Energieträger.
Andererseits erfordert die Bautätigkeit eine große Menge an Baustoffen bzw. Materialien. Hier hat sich die PORR Ressourceneffizienz zum Ziel gesetzt und fokussiert sich auf eine verbesserte Materialauswertung und Recyclingbaustoffe.
Dieses erstreckt sich über alle operativen Einheiten der PORR und kann hinsichtlich des Kalkulations- und Ausführungsrisikos qualifiziert werden. Alle Projekte werden im Zuge der Angebotsbearbeitung bis hin zum Vertragsabschluss auf spezifische technische, kaufmännische und rechtliche Risiken geprüft. Dies geschieht in enger Abstimmung zwischen den operativ Verantwortlichen und den Risikomanagern anhand von Risikochecklisten. Im Zuge der Projektabwicklung unterliegen alle Projekte einem laufenden Soll-Ist-Abgleich. Sobald sich ein Projekt außerhalb der Soll-Parameter bewegt, werden entsprechende Gegensteuerungsmaßnahmen eingeleitet, laufend von den Risikomanagern begleitet und im Hinblick auf den Erfolg überprüft.
Das erfolgreiche Management von Risiken im Personalbereich stellt ein zentrales Element in der Entwicklung der PORR dar. Personalrisiken begründen sich aus Mitarbeiterfluktuation und Know-how-Verlust, Facharbeiter-, Führungskräfte- und Nachwuchsmangel. Daher zielen die Aktivitäten der PORR darauf ab, die Fähigkeiten der Mitarbeiter durch effiziente Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen stetig weiterzuentwickeln und durch Karrieremöglichkeiten sowie Anreizsysteme die Attraktivität der PORR als Arbeitgeber zu erhöhen. Dem immer härter werdenden Wettbewerb um hochqualifizierte Fach- und Führungskräfte tritt die PORR durch optimierte Recruitingmaßnahmen und ein gezieltes Employer Branding entgegen.
Weitere Details zu Arbeitnehmer- und Sozialbelangen sind im Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2018 zu finden.
Im Baugeschäft bestehen Risiken eines möglichen arbeitssicherheitstechnischen oder gesundheitsbezogenen Zwischenfalls. Auch beim Handling von gefährlichen Substanzen und bei Nichteinhalten von dementsprechenden Regelungen kann es zu ersthaften Unfällen, Reputationsverlusten oder rechtlichen Konsequenzen kommen.
Die PORR verfolgt daher eine klar definierte Präventionsstrategie mit dem Ziel der Reduktion der Unfallhäufigkeit bis 2020. Nähere Informationen dazu finden sich im separaten Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2018.
Das Management der Risiken im Finanzbereich, insbesondere des Liquiditäts-, Zins- und Währungsrisikos, erfolgt im Treasury-Bereich und ist durch Konzernregulative einheitlich geregelt. Um diese Risiken so weit wie möglich zu minimieren, werden je nach Einschätzung ausgewählte derivative und nicht derivative Sicherungsinstrumente eingesetzt. Grundsätzlich werden nur operative Risiken abgesichert und keine spekulativen Geschäfte abgeschlossen. Sämtliche Absicherungsgeschäfte erfolgen zentral durch das Group Treasury. Zur Überwachung und Steuerung im Geld- und Devisenhandel ist ein den Anforderungen entsprechendes Internes Kontrollsystem (IKS) implementiert. Eckpfeiler sind die vollständige Funktionstrennung zwischen Handel, Abwicklung und Buchhaltung. Die wesentlichen Risiken der PORR im Finanzbereich – die Liquiditäts-, Zins- und Währungsrisiken – werden nachfolgend näher erläutert.
Das Liquiditätsrisiko der PORR AG ist definiert als das Risiko, dass Verbindlichkeiten bei Fälligkeit nicht beglichen werden können.
Per 31. Dezember 2018 betrug die Nettoverschuldung, definiert als Saldo aus liquiden Mitteln, Anleihen sowie externen kurz- und langfristigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten, EUR 318,4 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 372,0 Mio.).
Die kurzfristigen monetären Vermögenswerte überstiegen die kurzfristigen monetären Verbindlichkeiten um EUR 100,9 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 120,5 Mio.). Auch nach Saldierung mit den kurzfristigen Rückstellungen in Höhe von EUR 49,1 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 30,2 Mio.) verblieb eine Überdeckung von EUR 51,8 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 90,3 Mio.).
Die externen kurzfristigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten betrugen zum Stichtag EUR 71,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 72,0 Mio.). Denen gegenüber standen liquide Mittel in Höhe von EUR 4,9 Mio. (Vorjahr: 21,8 Mio.).
Die externen langfristigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten von EUR 252,6 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 326,1 Mio.) bestehen zu rund 69,7 % aus Anleihen und Schuldscheindarlehen.
Zum Bilanzstichtag existieren nicht ausgenützte Bankenlinien für Cashaufnahmen in Höhe von EUR 332,5 Mio., die zur unmittelbaren Refinanzierung der kurzfristigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten herangezogen werden könnten.
Der Konzern verfügt über europäische Avalkreditlinien in Höhe von insgesamt EUR 3.031,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 2.683,5 Mio.), davon sind EUR 1.095,0 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 976,1 Mio.) mit einer Laufzeit von mindestens drei Jahren abgeschlossen. Der Rest in Höhe von EUR 1.936,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 1.707,4 Mio.) ist in der Regel mit einer Laufzeit von einem Jahr ausgestattet. Darüber hinaus sind Linien in einigen arabischen Ländern in Höhe von EUR 670,3 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 599,5 Mio.) implementiert. Die europäischen Linien sind per 31. Dezember 2018 mit rund 58% (Vorjahr: 60 %), die Linien in den arabischen Ländern mit rund 52% (Vorjahr: 11%) ausgenützt.
In den dreijährigen Linien in Höhe von EUR 1.095,0 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 976,1 Mio.) sind harmonisierte Financial Covenants inkludiert. Diese betreffen im überwiegenden Ausmaß das Verhältnis Net Debt/EBITDA oder die Eigenkapitalquote.
Das Zinsrisiko des Konzerns ist definiert als das Risiko steigender Aufwands- oder sinkender Ertragszinsen aus Finanzpositionen und resultiert bei PORR vornehmlich aus dem Szenario steigender Zinsen, insbesondere im kurzfristigen Bereich. Etwaige künftige notwendige Absicherungstransaktionen werden durch das Konzernfinanzmanagement abgeschlossen. Zum Bilanzstichtag erfolgte das Management des Risikos mit nicht derivativen Instrumenten sowie mit drei Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) in Höhe von TEUR 123.000 sowie sechs IRS mit Startterminen, die in der Zukunft liegen in Höhe von TEUR 155.000. Alle derivativen Absicherungen sind als Cashflow Hedge designiert. Alle IRS beziehen sich auf den Austausch variabler Zinsströme gegen fixe Zinsströme. Per 31. Dezember 2018 ergab die Marktbewertung der IRS einen beizulegenden Zeitwert in Höhe von TEUR -1.756.
Die PORR hat zum 31. Dezember 2018 Devisentermingeschäfte in Höhe von EUR 72,7 Mio. (Vorjahr: EUR 59,6 Mio.) abgeschlossen. Davon betrugen EUR 48,5 Mio. Terminkäufe und EUR 24,2 Mio. Terminverkäufe und dienen zur Gänze der Absicherung von innerkonzernalen Finanzierungen. Per 31. Dezember 2018 ergab die Marktbewertung der offenen Devisentermingeschäfte einen beizulegenden Zeitwert in Höhe von TEUR 61 (Vorjahr: TEUR -531).
Der Beschaffungsmarkt der PORR ist in die drei Bereiche Subunternehmer, Material und Betriebsstoffe unterteilt. Für jeden dieser Bereiche werden im Unternehmen individuelle Risikominimierungsmaßnahmen gesetzt. Betreffend der Subunternehmer wird versucht, durch langzeitige, partnerschaftliche Projektarbeit und wenn möglich langfristige Rahmenverträge Preissicherheit zu erlangen. Zudem ist der Einkauf bestrebt, durch die Auswahl und Vielfalt der Gewerkeanbieter eine höchstmögliche Risikominimierung zu erreichen. Im Materialbereich sorgen überwiegend langfristige Lieferantenverträge für Preiskontinuität. Punktuelle Preisschwankungen in gewissen Warengruppen sind dennoch nicht auszuschließen. Im Hinblick auf die Betriebsstoffe wird durch die Installierung eines konzernweiten Einkaufs eine Maximierung der Preisvorteile erwirkt. Durch die Aufteilung in eine Lead-Buyer und eine Local-Buyer-Beschaffungsstruktur werden sowohl Mengenbündelungseffekte gehoben als auch lokale Maximierungsmöglichkeiten umgesetzt. Dies führt in Summe zu einer Minimierung des Einkaufsrisikos.
Branchenspezifisch fallen Vorleistungen durch den Generalunternehmer an, die erst später durch Zahlungen abgedeckt werden. Zur Absicherung eines etwaigen Ausfallrisikos ist eine Bonitätsprüfung zwingend vorgeschrieben und es werden weitestgehend Sicherheitsleistungen vereinbart. Das Ausfallrisiko bei anderen auf der Aktivseite ausgewiesenen originären Finanzinstrumenten ist ebenfalls als gering anzusehen, da die Vertragspartner Finanzinstitute und andere Schuldner mit guter Bonität sind. Der Buchwert der finanziellen Vermögenswerte stellt das maximale Ausfallrisiko dar. Soweit bei finanziellen Vermögenswerten Ausfallrisiken erkennbar sind, wird diesen Risiken durch Wertberichtigungen Rechnung getragen. Es bestehen hohe offene Forderungen vor allem aus Infrastrukturprojekten gegenüber öffentlichen Auftraggebern bzw. öffentlichen Unternehmen. Ansonsten liegen keine operativen Risikokonzentrationen aufgrund hoher offener Beträge bei einzelnen Schuldnern vor.
Das Kapitalmanagement des Konzerns zielt auf eine substanzielle Stärkung der Eigenmittel und den Erhalt einer niedrigen Verschuldung ab.
Im Berichtsjahr ist es gelungen, das Eigenkapital um rund TEUR 21.196 zu erhöhen. Die Eigenkapitalquote in Höhe von 19,8 % konnte trotz der Bilanzsummenausweitung um 8,0 PP nahezu gleichgehalten werden. Sowohl die langfristig als auch die kurzfristig verzinslichen Verbindlichkeiten konnten um TEUR 17.007 beziehungsweise um TEUR 19.271 reduziert werden.
Per 31. Dezember 201 betrug die Net-Debt-Position, definiert als Saldo aus liquiden Mitteln, Anleihen sowie kurzund langfristigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten, TEUR 150.184 (Vorjahr: TEUR 147.429) und blieb somit auf gleichem Niveau.
Die Kontrolle des Kapitalmanagements erfolgt über die Net Gearing Ratio. Diese ist definiert als Nettofinanzverschuldung dividiert durch das Eigenkapital. Das Net Gearing im Jahr 2018 lag bei 0,24 (Vorjahr: 0,25).
Durch unlauteren Wettbewerb und unfaire Geschäftspraktiken kann ein Imageschaden entstehen und in weiterer Folge der Wirtschaftsstandort geschädigt werden. Aufgrund der komplexen Lieferkette ist die Einhaltung von Compliance-Richtlinien daher besonders wichtig, welche in allen Niederlassungen der PORR zur Anwendung kommen. Sie umfassen sämtlich Aspekte wie Anti-Korruption, Sozialdumping oder die Weitergabe von Informationen. In Ländern mit hohem Korruptionsindex nach Transparency International ist die PORR nicht vertreten.
Die Schwerpunkte der Compliance-Organisation der PORR liegen unter anderem auf der Verhinderung von Korruption und Kartellrechtsverstößen. Generell bestehen Risiken gegen geltende CSR-Bestimmungen der lokalen Gesetzgebungen, in den jeweiligen Ländern zu verstoßen.
In Österreich werden seitens der zuständigen Behörden seit Anfang 2017 Ermittlungen gegen eine Vielzahl von Tiefbauunternehmen, darunter auch die PORR Bau GmbH, wegen des Verdachts von wettbewerbswidrigen Absprachen geführt. Der Vorstand der PORR AG veranlasste umgehend die interne Prüfung der Sachlage. Diese Untersuchung ist noch nicht abgeschlossen. Das Unternehmen kooperiert vollumfänglich mit den Behörden.
Das Interne Kontrollsystem (IKS) der PORR orientiert sich an den seit 2009 verpflichtenden EU-Standards, die eine vergleichbare Beurteilung der Wirksamkeit des IKS zum Ziel haben. Darüber hinaus legt die PORR großen Wert auf die Sicherung des Unternehmensvermögens, eine Gewährleistung der Wirksamkeit und Effizienz betrieblicher Abläufe und die Sicherstellung der Verlässlichkeit der finanziellen Berichterstattung.
Die Verantwortung für die Umsetzung sowie Einhaltung der gesetzlichen Anforderung an das rechnungslegungsbezogene Interne Kontrollsystem liegt beim Vorstand, der seinerseits die Abteilung Konzern-Controlling für das interne Berichtswesen sowie die Abteilung Rechnungswesen für das externe Berichtswesen beauftragt.
Das Interne Kontrollsystem umfasst sowohl die Bewertung operativer Risiken als auch die adäquate Umsetzung von organisatorischen Normen und Prozessen im gesamten Rechnungs- und Berichtswesen der PORR. In der PORR stellt das Interne Kontrollsystem sicher, dass die Erfassung, Aufbereitung und Bilanzierung der Geschäftsfälle im Unternehmen vereinheitlicht und in die Konzernrechnungslegung ordnungsgemäß übernommen werden. Maßnahmen wie klare unternehmensinterne Vorgaben, vordefinierte Verfahrensanweisungen und systemgestützte Verfahren zur Aufarbeitung von Daten des Rechnungswesens unterstützen den Prozess der einheitlichen und ordnungsgemäßen Rechnungslegung. Die Berichterstattung der in den Konzernabschluss einbezogenen Tochtergesellschaften sowie die Konsolidierung erfolgen durch integrierte, datenbankgestützte IT-Systeme. Relevante Anforderungen zur Sicherstellung der ordnungsgemäßen Rechnungslegung werden in konzerneinheitlichen Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsvorschriften festgehalten und regelmäßig kommuniziert. Durch klare Funktionstrennungen und diverse Kontroll- und Überwachungsmaßnahmen – wie Plausibilitätsprüfungen, regelmäßige Kontrollaktivitäten auf diversen Berichtsebenen und das Vier-Augen-Prinzip – wird eine verlässliche und korrekte Rechnungslegung sichergestellt. Die systematischen Kontrollen sorgen dafür, dass die Rechnungslegung in der PORR im Einklang mit den internationalen Rechnungslegungsstandards und unternehmensinternen Richtlinien steht, und gewährleisten einen ordnungsgemäßen und einheitlichen Ablauf der rechnungslegungsbezogenen Prozesse.
Innerhalb des Internen Kontrollsystems übernimmt der Prüfungsausschuss für den Aufsichtsrat die Aufgabe der Überwachung des Rechnungslegungsprozesses und der Finanzberichterstattung. Außerdem gewährleisten das Compliance-Management-System und die Interne Revision die unabhängige Überwachung der Wirksamkeit des IKS mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der Geschäftsprozesse.
Die Interne Revision der PORR wurde zuletzt am 22. November 2018 extern durch Crowe SOT advisory, audit & tax GmbH nach Standard IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) zertifiziert und erfüllt somit international anerkannte Leitlinien. Zur Wahrnehmung ihrer Aufgaben ist die Interne Revision mit umfassenden Prüfbefugnissen ausgestattet, die sowohl präventive als auch aufdeckende Kontrollen umfassen. Die Kontrollleistung der Internen Revision erfolgt im direkten Auftrag des Konzernvorstands gemäß einem jährlichen Prüfplan. Zusätzlich können auf Veranlassung des Konzernvorstands bei risikorelevanten aktuellen Anlässen jederzeit Ad-hoc-Prüfungen eingeleitet werden. Das Ziel der PORR ist es, das Interne Kontrollsystem kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln und es laufend an die sich ändernden Rahmenbedingungen und neuen Konzernrichtlinien anzupassen. Zudem veranlasste die PORR eine Prüfung und Zertifizierung ihres umfangreiches Compliance-Management-Syste nach ISO 19600 und ONR 192050 von Austrian Standards und verfügt zudem über ein Anti-Bribery-Zertifikat nach ISO 37001.1
Alle Stückaktien haben die gleichen, gesetzlich normierten Rechte und Pflichten, insbesondere gewährt jede Stückaktie das Stimmrecht, das nach der Zahl der Aktien ausgeübt wird, und nimmt am Gewinn sowie im Fall der Abwicklung am Liquidationsüberschuss im gleichen Umfang teil. Das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft ist voll geleistet. Die Gesellschaft hält zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2018 insgesamt 216.495 Stück eigene Aktien beziehungsweise 0,74 % des Grundkapitals. Aus eigenen Aktien stehen der Gesellschaft gemäß § 95 Abs. 5 AktG keine Rechte, insbesondere keine Stimmrechte, zu.
Gemäß § 5 Abs. 2 der Satzung der Gesellschaft können Aktien aus künftigen Kapitalerhöhungen auf den Inhaber oder Namen lauten. Wird bei einer Kapitalerhöhung im Erhöhungsbeschluss keine Bestimmung darüber getroffen, ob die neuen Aktien auf den Inhaber oder auf Namen lauten, so lauten sie auf den Inhaber. Gemäß § 5 Abs. 3 der Satzung und im Einklang mit § 10 Abs. 2 AktG sind die Aktien in einer, gegebenenfalls in mehreren Sammelurkunden zu verbriefen und bei einer Wertpapiersammelbank nach § 1 Abs. 3 Depotgesetz oder einer gleichwertigen, ausländischen Einrichtung zu hinterlegen. Dieser Verpflichtung ist die Gesellschaft nachgekommen. Sämtliche früher im Umlauf befindlichen, effektiven Aktienurkunden wurden den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen entsprechend für kraftlos erklärt.
Zwischen der Strauss-Gruppe und der IGO-Ortner-Gruppe besteht ein Syndikatsvertrag. Von diesem Syndikatsvertrag hat der Vorsitzende des Vorstands Kenntnis, weil die von der Prospero Privatstiftung geleitete Strauss-Gruppe in seinem Einflussbereich steht. Der Vorstand in seiner Gesamtheit hat aus seiner Funktion als Vorstand der Gesellschaft keine Kenntnis vom Inhalt des Syndikatsvertrags. Syndikatsbeschlüsse binden die Syndikatsmitglieder in der Ausübung ihrer Stimmrechte. Es besteht ein wechselseitiges Aufgriffsrecht.
Eine direkte oder indirekte Beteiligung am Kapital, die zumindest zehn von hundert beträgt, halten zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2018 folgende Aktionäre:
| Anteil am Grundkapital |
Hiervon syndiziert | |
|---|---|---|
| IGO-Ortner-Gruppe | 38,77% | 38,52% |
| Strauss-Gruppe | 16,21% | 15,18% |
Zur Strauss-Gruppe zählt die SuP Beteiligungs GmbH, die zu 100 % der Prospero Privatstiftung zuzurechnen ist, welche im Einflussbereich des Vorstandsvorsitzenden Ing. Karl-Heinz Strauss steht. Die Aktien der IGO-Ortner-Gruppe werden zum Großteil mittel- und unmittelbar von Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Ortner gehalten.
Aktien mit besonderen Kontrollrechten sind bei der Gesellschaft nicht vorhanden.
Bei der Gesellschaft bestehen keine Mitarbeiterbeteiligungsmodelle, bei denen die Arbeitnehmer das Stimmrecht nicht unmittelbar ausüben.
Gemäß § 6 Abs. 1 der Satzung der Gesellschaft besteht der Vorstand aus zwei bis sechs Personen. Der Aufsichtsrat kann gemäß § 6 Abs. 2 der Satzung in diesem zahlenbezogenen Rahmen stellvertretende Vorstandsmitglieder bestellen. Der Aufsichtsrat kann gemäß § 6 Abs. 3 der Satzung ein Mitglied zum Vorsitzenden und ein Mitglied zum Stellvertreter des Vorsitzenden ernennen. Allfällige stellvertretende Vorstandsmitglieder stehen hinsichtlich der Vertretungsmacht ordentlichen Vorstandsmitgliedern gleich.
Der Aufsichtsrat besteht gemäß § 9 Abs. 1 der Satzung aus mindestens drei und höchstens zwölf von der Hauptversammlung gewählten Mitgliedern. Gemäß § 9 Abs. 8 der Satzung kann mit der Wahl eines Aufsichtsratsmitglieds gleichzeitig ein Ersatzmitglied gewählt werden, welches mit sofortiger Wirkung in den Aufsichtsrat nachrückt, wenn das Aufsichtsratsmitglied vor dem Ablauf seiner Amtszeit aus dem Aufsichtsrat ausscheidet. Werden mehrere Ersatzmitglieder gewählt, ist bei der Wahl die Reihenfolge zu bestimmen, in der sie für aus dem Aufsichtsrat ausscheidende Mitglieder nachrücken. Ein Ersatzmitglied kann auch für mehrere bestimmte Aufsichtsratsmitglieder gewählt werden, sodass es in den Aufsichtsrat nachrückt, wenn eines dieser Mitglieder vorzeitig aus dem Aufsichtsrat ausscheidet. Das Amt eines in den Aufsichtsrat nachgerückten Ersatzmitglieds erlischt, sobald ein Nachfolger für das ausgeschiedene Aufsichtsratsmitglied bestellt ist, spätestens jedoch mit Ablauf der restlichen Amtszeit des ausgeschiedenen Aufsichtsratsmitglieds. Ist das Amt eines in den Aufsichtsrat nachgerückten Ersatzmitglieds erloschen, weil ein Nachfolger für das ausgeschiedene Aufsichtsratsmitglied gewählt wurde, so bleibt es Ersatzmitglied für die weiteren Aufsichtsratsmitglieder, für die es gewählt wurde. Die Hauptversammlung kann gemäß § 9 Abs. 2 der Satzung bei der Wahl für einzelne oder für alle der von ihr zu wählenden Aufsichtsratsmitglieder eine kürzere Funktionsperiode beschließen als die gesetzliche. Scheidet ein von der Hauptversammlung gewähltes Aufsichtsratsmitglied vor Ablauf der Funktionsperiode aus, bedarf es gemäß § 9 Abs. 6 der Satzung der Ersatzwahl erst in der nächsten ordentlichen Hauptversammlung. Sinkt jedoch die Anzahl der Aufsichtsratsmitglieder unter drei, ist die Ersatzwahl in einer außerordentlichen Hauptversammlung binnen sechs Wochen vorzunehmen. Die Bestellung zum Mitglied des Aufsichtsrats kann gemäß § 9 Abs. 4 der Satzung vor Ablauf der Funktionsperiode von der Hauptversammlung mit einfacher Mehrheit der abgegebenen Stimmen widerrufen werden. Gemäß § 19 Abs. 1 der Satzung der Gesellschaft werden die Beschlüsse der Hauptversammlung – sofern das Gesetz nicht zwingend eine andere Mehrheit vorschreibt – mit einfacher Mehrheit der abgegebenen Stimmen, und – in Fällen, in denen eine Kapitalmehrheit erforderlich ist – mit einfacher Mehrheit des bei der Beschlussfassung vertretenen Grundkapitals gefasst. Diese Satzungsbestimmung hat nach der Rechtsansicht des Vorstands die nach dem Aktiengesetz auch für Satzungsänderungen an sich notwendige Mehrheit von mindestens drei Viertel des bei der Beschlussfassung vertretenen Grundkapitals auf die
einfache Kapitalmehrheit herabgesetzt (außer für den Fall von Änderungen des Unternehmensgegenstands).
i) wenn die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Sacheinlage erfolgt oder
ii) wenn die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Bareinlage erfolgt und
A) in Summe der rechnerisch auf die gegen Bareinlage unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts ausgegebenen Aktien entfallende Anteil am Grundkapital der Gesellschaft die Grenze von 10 % des Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft zum Zeitpunkt der Ausübung der Ermächtigung nicht übersteigt,
B) die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Bareinlage zur Bedienung einer Mehrzuteilungsoption (Greenshoe) oder
C) für den Ausgleich von Spitzenbeträgen erfolgt.
Der Aufsichtsrat ist ermächtigt, Änderungen der Satzung, die sich durch das Ausnutzen dieser Ermächtigung des Vorstands ergeben, zu beschließen.
Zum Stichtag 31. Dezember 2018 ist der Vorstand gemäß Beschluss der Hauptversammlung vom 29. Mai 2018 ermächtigt, für die Dauer von 30 Monaten vom Tag der Beschlussfassung gemäß § 65 Abs. 1 Z 4 und Z 8 sowie Abs. 1a und Abs. 1b AktG eigene Aktien der Gesellschaft bis zu dem gesetzlich zulässigen Ausmaß von 10 % des Grundkapitals unter Einschluss bereits erworbener Aktien, auch unter wiederholter Ausnutzung der 10 %-Grenze, zu erwerben. Der beim Rückerwerb zu leistende Gegenwert darf nicht niedriger als EUR 1,00 und nicht höher als maximal 10 % über dem durchschnittlichen, ungewichteten Börseschlusskurs der dem Rückerwerb vorhergehenden zehn Börsetage liegen. Der Erwerb kann über die Börse oder durch ein öffentliches Angebot oder auf eine sonstige gesetzlich zulässige, zweckmäßige Art erfolgen, insbesondere auch außerbörslich, oder von einzelnen, veräußerungswilligen Aktionären (negotiated purchase) und auch unter Ausschluss des quotenmäßigen Andienungsrechts der Aktionäre. Der Vorstand ist weiters ermächtigt, die jeweiligen Rückkaufsbedingungen festzusetzen. Die Ermächtigung kann ganz oder teilweise und auch in mehreren Teilbeträgen und in Verfolgung eines oder mehrerer Zwecke durch die Gesellschaft, durch ein Tochterunternehmen (§ 189a UGB) oder für Rechnung der Gesellschaft durch Dritte ausgeübt werden. Der Handel mit eigenen Aktien ist als Zweck des Erwerbs ausgeschlossen.
Der Vorstand ist ermächtigt, mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats eigene Aktien für die Dauer von fünf Jahren ab Beschlussfassung der ordentlichen Hauptversammlung vom 24. Mai 2016 auf andere Art als über die Börse oder durch ein öffentliches Angebot zu veräußern oder zu verwenden. Die Ermächtigung kann ganz oder teilweise oder auch in mehreren Teilbeträgen und in Verfolgung eines oder mehrerer Zwecke ausgeübt werden. Das quotenmäßige Kaufrecht der Aktionäre bei Veräußerung oder Verwendung auf andere Art als über die Börse oder durch ein öffentliches Angebot ist ausgeschlossen (Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts).
Im Geschäftsjahr 2018 wurden aufgrund der obengenannten Ermächtigungen von der 100%igen Tochtergesellschaft EPS Absberggasse 47 Projektmanagement GmbH 22.548 Stück Aktien erworben. Dies entspricht einem Anteil am Grundkapital von rund 0,0775 %.
i) sich der Zinssatz der Hybrid-Teilschuldverschreibungen um 5,00 % p. a. erhöht und

September 2019) und EUR 180.000.000 (mit einer Laufzeit bis 29. Juni 2019), die folgende Vereinbarungen enthalten: Erlangen eine oder mehrere Personen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Unterfertigung des jeweiligen Vertrags keine oder keine kontrollierende Beteiligung halten, eine kontrollierende Beteiligung im Sinne von § 22 des österreichischen Übernahmegesetzes am Kreditnehmer oder einer wesentlichen Konzerngesellschaft (wie in den Verträgen definiert), sind der Agent und die Kreditgeber (hinsichtlich ihrer jeweiligen Anteile am Garantiekreditrahmen) zur sofortigen Kündigung der betroffenen Anteile des Garantiekreditrahmens berechtigt.
Die Gesellschaft verfügt über zwei Kreditverträge in Höhe von EUR 67.400.000 (mit einer Laufzeit bis 30. Juni 2023) und EUR 55.000.000 (mit einer Laufzeit bis 30.

Darüber hinaus bestehen keine bedeutenden Vereinbarungen im Sinne des § 243a Abs. 1 Z 8 UGB.

Die PORR AG hat ihren Sitz in Wien und ist im Firmenbuch mit der Firmenbuchnummer FN 34853 f eingetragen.
Der Jahresabschluss 2018 wurde unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung und der Generalnorm aufgestellt, um ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens zu vermitteln (Generalklausel § 236 UGB). Für die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung wurde das Gesamtkostenverfahren angewandt.
Es wurden die Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden unter dem Aspekt der Unternehmensfortführung angewandt.
Die Gesellschaft hat gemäß § 245a UGB als börsennotiertes Mutterunternehmen einen Konzernabschluss gemäß IFRS aufgestellt. Dieser liegt in Wien 10, Absberggasse 47, und beim Firmenbuch Wien zur Einsichtnahme auf.
Der Abschluss wurde zum Stichtag 31. Dezember aufgestellt und betrifft das Geschäftsjahr vom 1. Jänner bis zum 31. Dezember. Zahlenmäßige Angaben erfolgen zumeist in 1.000 (TEUR). Durch die Angaben in TEUR können sich Rundungsdifferenzen ergeben.
Die Bilanzierung, die Bewertung und der Ausweis der einzelnen Posten des Jahresabschlusses werden nach den Bestimmungen des UGB vorgenommen. Von der Erweiterungsmöglichkeit bzw. vom Erweiterungsgebot des § 223 Abs. 4 UGB wird Gebrauch gemacht.
Die Bewertung der Fremdwährungsbeträge erfolgt mit den Anschaffungskursen. Wenn die Bilanzstichtagskurse in Bezug auf Fremdwährungsforderungen aber niedriger bzw. in Bezug auf Fremdwährungsverbindlichkeiten höher als die Anschaffungskurse sind, werden die betreffenden Fremdwährungsbeträge mit den Bilanzstichtagskursen umgerechnet.
Die immateriellen Vermögensgegenstände werden zu Anschaffungskosten, vermindert um die planmäßige lineare Abschreibung, bilanziert. Dabei werden folgende Abschreibungssätze angewendet:
Software 10 bis 50 %
Das Sachanlagevermögen wird zu Anschaffungskosten einschließlich Nebenkosten unter Abzug von Anschaffungskostenminderungen bzw. zu Herstellungskosten und der bisher aufgelaufenen und im Berichtsjahr planmäßig fortgeführten linearen Abschreibungen bewertet, wobei folgende Abschreibungssätze angewendet werden:
| Wohn- und Verwaltungsgebäude | 2 bis 10 % |
|---|---|
| Technische Anlagen und Maschinen | 10 bis 25 % |
| Betriebs- und Geschäftsausstattung | 10 bis 50 % |
Die Nutzungsdauer für Maschinen und maschinelle Anlagen bzw. Betriebs- und Geschäftsausstattung wird ab 2012 in der Regel mit dem eineinhalbfachen Wert nach der "österreichischen Baugeräteliste" der Vereinigung Industrieller Bauunternehmungen Österreichs (VIBÖ) angesetzt.
Die Finanzanlagen werden grundsätzlich zu Anschaffungskosten oder – falls ihnen ein niedrigerer Wert beizumessen ist – mit diesem bewertet.
Die geringwertigen Wirtschaftsgüter (§ 204 UGB) wurden im Anschaffungsjahr im vollen Umfang abgeschrieben. Außerplanmäßige Abschreibungen werden vorgenommen, wenn dauernde Wertminderungen eingetreten sind. Sind die Gründe für die in den vorangegangenen Geschäftsjahren vorgenommenen außerplanmäßigen Abschreibungen weggefallen, dann erfolgt eine Werterhöhung bis höchstens auf die fortgeschriebenen Anschaffungskosten. Im Geschäftsjahr 2018 wurden keine außerplanmäßigen Abschreibungen durchgeführt (Vorjahr: TEUR 467).
Die Roh-, Hilfs- und Betriebsstoffe werden von den Einstandspreisen abgeleiteten Anschaffungskosten bewertet.
Die Forderungen werden gemäß dem strengen Niederstwertprinzip angesetzt. Falls Risiken hinsichtlich der Einbringlichkeit bestehen, werden angemessene Wertberichtigungen gebildet.
In den latenten Steuern sind auch latente Steueransprüche bzw. -schulden, die aus zeitlichen Differenzen zwischen dem zu versteuernden Gewinn und dem unternehmensrechtlichen Ergebnis von Tochterunternehmen resultieren, mit denen ein Ergebnisabführungsvertrag besteht, enthalten.
Nach AFRAC 30 RZ 65, zur Bilanzierung und Berichterstattung im unternehmensrechtlichen Jahresabschluss im Zusammenhang mit der Gruppenbesteuerung, hat der Gruppenträger für steuerlich geltend gemachte ausländische steuerliche Verluste im Einzelabschluss insbesondere dann eine Rückstellung gemäß § 98 Abs. 8 UGB iVm § 211 zu bilden, als sich diese Verluste in den nächsten Jahren in Gewinne umkehren und diese Umkehrung vom Gruppenträger grundsätzlich nicht verhindert werden kann.
Da zwar in Einzelfällen davon auszugehen ist, dass sich diese Verluste in den nächsten Jahren in Gewinne umkehren, es jedoch in Bezug auf alle ausländischen Gruppenmitglieder in der Hand des Gruppenträgers PORR AG liegt, den Eintritt dieses Umkehreffekts in den nächsten Jahren zu beeinflussen, wurde für ausländische Gruppenmitglieder grundsätzlich keine Rückstellung für latente Steuern nach § 198 Abs. 8 UGB gebildet. 2018 wurde für nachversteuerungshängige Verluste des ausländischen Gruppenmitglieds PORR Epitesi Kft. eine Rückstellung in Höhe von TEUR 5.280 gebildet.
Die Einbringung der Aktien der TEERAG-ASDAG Aktiengesellschaft in die ABAP Beteiligungs Holding GmbH (nunmehr PORR Construction Holding GmbH) im Geschäftsjahr 2007 führte im Jahresabschluss 2007 zu einer ergebniswirksamen Aufwertung der Beteiligung an der ABAP Beteiligungsholding GmbH (nunmehr PORR Construction Holding GmbH) auf den beizulegenden Zeitwert, während für steuerliche Zwecke der Buchwert zuzüglich des Buchwerts der eingebrachten Aktien der TEERAG-ASDAG Aktiengesellschaft fortzuführen war.
Eine Steuerabgrenzung auf den Unterschiedsbetrag in Höhe von TEUR 64.693 wurde nicht vorgenommen, da nur im Fall einer Veräußerung der Beteiligung an der ABAP Beteiligungs Holding GmbH (nunmehr PORR Construction Holding GmbH) der Aufwertungsgewinn auch steuerlich realisiert werden würde und damit zu versteuern wäre, eine Veräußerung aber nicht geplant ist. Die Differenz stellt daher eine quasi permanente Differenz dar, für die gemäß § 198 Abs. 10 Z 3 keine Steuerabgrenzung vorzunehmen ist.
Von den freien Rücklagen der PORR AG iHv TEUR 180.998 ist ein Teilbetrag in Höhe von TEUR 7.356 gem. § 235 Abs. 2 UGB zur Ausschüttung gesperrt. Der Restbetrag in Höhe von TEUR 173.642 kann aufgelöst und an die Aktionäre der PORR AG ausgeschüttet werden.
Die Abfertigungsrückstellungen wurden aufgrund eines versicherungsmathematischen Gutachtens gemäß IAS 19 auf Basis eines Rechnungszinssatzes von 1,9 % (Vorjahr: 1,9 %) p. a. und erwarteter zukünftiger Gehaltssteigerungen von 2,0 % (Vorjahr: 2,1 %) p. a. sowie eines frühestmöglichen Pensionseintrittsalters nach ASVG (Pensionsreform 2004) ermittelt. Versicherungsmathematische Gewinne oder Verluste werden zur Gänze in dem Jahr, in dem sie anfallen, angesetzt. Als Sterbetafel werden die Rechnungsgrundlagen für die Pensionsversicherung AVÖ 2018-P (Vorjahr: AVÖ 2008-P) herangezogen. Bei der Ermittlung der Rückstellungen für Abfertigungen und für Jubiläumsgelder wurden Fluktuationsabschläge auf Basis von statistischen Daten in einer Bandbreite von 0,04 % bis 10,5 % (Vorjahr: 0,04 % bis 10,5 %) berücksichtigt. Der Dienstzeitaufwand wird über die gesamte Dienstzeit verteilt.
Die Berechnung der Pensionsrückstellungen erfolgte ebenfalls aufgrund eines versicherungsmathematischen Gutachtens gemäß IAS 19 wobei die gleichen Basisdaten wie für die Abfertigungsrückstellungen herangezogen wurden. Versicherungsmathematische Gewinne oder Verluste werden zur Gänze in dem Jahr, in dem sie anfallen, angesetzt.
Sonstige Rückstellungen werden für alle erkennbaren Risiken und drohenden Verluste gebildet.
Die sonstigen Rückstellungen werden in jener Höhe, die nach vernünftiger kaufmännischer Betrachtung notwendig ist, gebildet. Rückstellungen mit einer Restlaufzeit von mehr als einem Jahr werden mit dem marktüblichen Zinssatz in Höhe von 1,9 % abgezinst. Im Geschäftsjahr gab es keine sonstigen Rückstellungen mit einer Restlaufzeit von mehr als einem Jahr, die abgezinst werden mussten (Abzinsung Vorjahr: TEUR 7).
Die Verbindlichkeiten werden mit dem Nennwert bzw. dem höheren Rückzahlungsbetrag angesetzt.
Die Zusammensetzung und Entwicklung des Anlagevermögens ist im Anlagenspiegel ersichtlich.
In der Position II.1 sind enthalten:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Grundwerte | 11.189 | 11.189 |
Aus der Nutzung von in der Bilanz nicht ausgewiesenen Sachanlagen ergeben sich aufgrund langfristiger Miet- und Leasingverträge folgende Verpflichtungen:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Für das Folgejahr | 6.205 | 6.196 |
| Für die nächsten fünf Jahre | 30.779 | 30.880 |
Eine Zusammenstellung der in § 238 Abs. 1 Z 4 UGB geforderten Daten in Bezug auf Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen und sonstigen Beteiligungen ist im Beteiligungsspiegel ersichtlich.
Die Beteiligungszugänge betreffen vorwiegend Gesellschafterzuschüsse an diverse Tochterunternehmen der PORR AG.
In den sonstigen Ausleihungen ist im Wesentlichen ein unbefristetes Hybridkapital in Höhe von TEUR 25.330, das im Zuge des Spin-Offs des Immobilienbereichs an die PIAG Immobilien AG gewährt wurde, enthalten. Durch die Verschmelzung der PIAG Immobilien AG als übertragende Gesellschaft mit der UBM Development AG als übernehmende Gesellschaft ging dieses Hybridkapital im Wege der Gesamtrechtsnachfolge auf die UBM Development AG über. Eine ordentliche Kündigung durch die PORR AG ist bei diesem Instrument ausgeschlossen während der Hybridkapitalnehmerin das Recht zusteht, das Hybridkapital jederzeit zu kündigen. Zinszahlungen sind jeweils davon abhängig, ob die UBM Development AG die Ausschüttung einer Dividende aus dem Jahresüberschuss beschließt. Wird in einem Jahr keine Ausschüttung einer Dividende aus dem Jahresüberschuss an die Aktionäre der UBM Development AG beschlossen, dann müssen in diesem Jahr auch keine Zinsen von der UBM Development AG bezahlt werden, wobei diese Zinsen in diesem Fall nicht untergehen, sondern weiterhin geschuldet sind.
Die Reduzierung der sonstigen Ausleihungen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die UBM Development AG am 3. April 2018 das Mezzanindarlehen in Höhe TEUR 50.000 zurückbezahlt hat.

| Davon mit Restlaufzeit bis zu einem Jahr | 87 | 50.094 |

In den Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen sind auch Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 23.613 (Vorjahr: TEUR 17.000) sowie Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 2.567 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.149) enthalten.
Die Forderungen gegenüber Unternehmen, mit denen ein Beteiligungsverhältnis besteht, enthalten Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 311 (Vorjahr: TEUR 120) sowie Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 70 (Vorjahr: TEUR 0).
In den Sonstigen Forderungen sind Erträge in Höhe von TEUR 2.845 (Vorjahr: TEUR 5.023) enthalten, die erst nach dem Abschlussstichtag zahlungswirksam werden.
Die sonstigen Wertpapiere betreffen hauptsächlich eigene Anleihen.
Die aktiven Rechnungsabgrenzungsposten beinhalten im Wesentlichen im Voraus bezahlte Mietaufwendungen und Wartungsaufwendungen für Software.
| Grundkapital | Stück | Wert in EUR |
|---|---|---|
| Inhaber-Stammaktien | 29.095.000 | 29.095.000 |
Bei den Aktien handelt es sich um nennbetragslose Stückaktien, von denen jede am Grundkapital im gleichen Umfang beteiligt ist. Auf jede Stückaktie entfällt ein rechnerischer Betrag von rund EUR 1,00.
Der Vorstand wurde gemäß § 169 AktG in der 138. ordentlichen Hauptversammlung vom 29. Mai 2018 ermächtigt, innerhalb von fünf Jahren ab 5. Juni 2018 das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats um bis zu EUR 4.364.250,00 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 4.364.250 auf Inhaber lautenden Stückaktien gegen Bar- und/oder Sacheinlage – allenfalls in mehreren Tranchen – auch im Wege des mittelbaren Bezugsrechts gemäß § 153 Abs 6 AktG zu erhöhen (genehmigtes Kapital) und den Ausgabekurs, der nicht unter dem anteiligen Betrag des Grundkapitals liegen darf, die Ausgabebedingungen, das Bezugsverhältnis und die weiteren Einzelheiten der Durchführung mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats festzusetzen.
Der Vorstand wird ermächtigt, mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats das Bezugsrecht der Aktionäre ganz oder teilweise auszuschließen, (i) wenn die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Sacheinlage erfolgt oder (ii) wenn die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Bareinlage erfolgt und (A) in Summe der rechnerisch auf die gegen Bareinlage unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts ausgegebenen Aktien entfallende Anteil am Grundkapital der Gesellschaft die Grenze von 10 % Prozent des Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft zum Zeitpunkt der Ausübung der Ermächtigung nicht übersteigt, (B) die Kapitalerhöhung gegen Bareinlage zur Bedienung einer Mehrzuteilungsoption (Greenshoe) oder (C) für den Ausgleich von Spitzenbeträgen erfolgt.
Der Aufsichtsrat ist ermächtigt, Änderungen der Satzung, die sich durch das Ausnutzen dieser Ermächtigung des Vorstands ergeben, zu beschließen.
Die PORR AG hat am 13. Dezember 2018 die von der EPS Absberggasse 47 Projektmanagement GmbH gehaltenen 22.548 PORR-Stammaktien erworben und hält somit 216.495 eigene auf Inhaber lautende Stückaktien, die einem Anteil am Grundkapital von rund 0,744 % entsprechen. Gemäß § 229 Abs. 1a UGB wird der Nennbetrag offen vom Grundkapital abgezogen und in gleicher Höhe als gesonderte Rücklage gezeigt.
Daraus ergibt sich folgender Bestand an eigenen Anteilen:
| PORR AG | Anzahl Stück | Nominale je Stück EUR |
Nominale EUR | Anteil am Grundkapital |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bestand am 31.12.2017 | 193.947 | 1,00 | 193.947 | 0,667 % |

Es handelt sich um unbefristete Hybridanleihen mit einer Nominale von EUR 25 Mio. und EUR 125 Mio.
Da Zahlungen von Zinsen wie auch Kapitaltilgungen zwingend nur bei Eintritt von Bedingungen zu leisten sind, deren Eintritt von der PORR AG bewirkt bzw. verhindert werden kann, und die Gruppe daher die Möglichkeit hat, Zahlungen dauerhaft zu vermeiden, werden die Hybridanleihen als eigener Posten in der Bilanz dargestellt.
Die Hybridanleihen begründen unmittelbare, nicht besicherte und tief nachrangige Verbindlichkeiten, die vorrangig zum Eigenkapital stehen, untereinander und mit gleichrangigen Wertpapieren im Rang gleichstehen und nachrangig allen anderen bestehenden und zukünftigen nicht nachrangigen Verbindlichkeiten und nachrangigen Verbindlichkeiten sind, die ausdrücklich den Verbindlichkeiten aus der Hybridanleihe im Rang vorgehen.
Die Teilschuldverschreibungen der Hybridanleihe mit der Gesamtnominale von EUR 25 Mio. wurden mit einer Stückelung von EUR 500,00 ausgegeben und sind während ihrer unbegrenzten Laufzeit bis zum 27. Oktober 2021 fix mit 6,75 % p. a. und ab dem 28. Oktober 2021 variabel (3-Monats-EURIBOR zuzüglich Aufschlag von 8,5 % p. a.) verzinst.
Am 6. Februar 2017 wurden weitere Teilschuldverschreibungen einer Hybridanleihe mit der Gesamtnominale von EUR 125 Mio. mit einer Stückelung von EUR 1.000,00 ausgegeben und sind nur in Mindestgesamtnennbeträgen von EUR 100.000,00 und einem ganzzahligen Vielfachen von EUR 1.000,00 über diesem Betrag übertragbar. Diese neue Anleihe verfügt über eine unbegrenzte Laufzeit mit einer vorzeitigen Rückzahlungsmöglichkeit durch die Emittentin nach fünf Jahren und wird bis 6. Februar 2022 fix mit 5,500 % p. a. und ab dem 7. Februar 2022 variabel (5-Jahres IS-DAFIX2 Swapsatz zuzüglich einer Marge von 5,312 % p. a.) verzinst.
Zum 31. Dezember 2018 besteht kein Vergütungsrückstand.

Die Rückstellungen für Abfertigungen wurden nur für Angestellte gebildet, da für Arbeiter das Bauarbeiter-Urlaubsund Abfertigungsgesetz 1987 gilt und diese daher keine Abfertigungsansprüche gegenüber der Gesellschaft haben.
Zur Bedeckung der Pensionsrückstellungen besteht eine Pensionsrückdeckungsversicherung mit einem Deckungskapital zum 31. Dezember 2018 in Höhe von EUR 5.770.410,17 (Vorjahr: TEUR 5.941). Die Rechte und Ansprüche aus diesen Verträgen sind zur Gänze zugunsten der Pensionsberechtigten verpfändet. Im Geschäftsjahr 2018 wurde erstmalig nach AFRAC 27 RZ 49 der Wert der Rückdeckungsversicherung, der in Vorjahren unter den sonstigen Forderungen ausgewiesen wurde, von der Gesamtpensionsverpflichtung in Höhe von EUR 10.771.628,00 (Vorjahr: TEUR 10.409) in Abzug gebracht, da nunmehr die entsprechenden Voraussetzungen erfüllt wurden. Der entsprechende vergleichbare Vorjahreswert beträgt EUR 4.467.919,77.
Die Steuerrückstellungen betreffen ausschließlich die Körperschaftsteuer.
Die Rückstellungen aus der Bauabrechnung betreffen Rückstellungen für fehlende Eingangsrechnungen und für Gewährleistungsansprüche.
Die Personalrückstellungen bestehen für nicht konsumierte Urlaube, Prämien, Jubiläumsgelder, Abfindungen und sonstige Verpflichtungen im Personalbereich.
In den diversen Rückstellungen sind im Wesentlichen Vorsorgen für Wirtschaftsprüfung und Vergütungen für Aufsichtsräte.
Die Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen resultieren aus laufenden Geldverrechnungen und aus der Übernahme von Ergebnissen sowie aus Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 2.241 (Vorjahr: TEUR 348), die mit Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen in Höhe von TEUR 37 (Vorjahr: TEUR 5.172) saldiert wurden.
In den Sonstigen Verbindlichkeiten sind Aufwendungen in Höhe von TEUR 10.671 (Vorjahr: TEUR 12.423) enthalten, die erst nach dem Abschlussstichtag zahlungswirksam werden.
Aufstellung der Verbindlichkeiten mit einer Restlaufzeit von mehr als fünf Jahren:

| Anleihen und Schuldscheindarlehen | 10.000 | 25.000 |
| Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber Kreditinstituten | - | 8.461 |
| Sonstige Verbindlichkeiten | 2.628 | 2.235 |
| Gesamt | 12.628 | 35.696 |
Die Gesellschaft hat Verbindlichkeiten mit dinglicher Sicherheit in Höhe von TEUR 1.509 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.087), die das zivilrechtliche Eigentum des Leasinggebers an den jeweiligen Immobilien betreffen.
Haftungsverhältnisse sind Verpflichtungen, die gegenüber Dritten übernommen wurden, und setzen sich wie folgt zusammen:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Kreditbürgschaften | 40.333 | 40.333 |
| davon für verbundene Unternehmen | 40.100 | 40.100 |

| davon für verbundene Unternehmen | 182.538 | 74.337 |
| Gesamt | 222.871 | 114.670 |
Unter den sonstigen Haftungsverhältnissen werden auch Patronatserklärungen aus Leasingfinanzierungen von Tochterunternehmen ausgewiesen.
Das operative Baugeschäft erfordert die Ausstellung verschiedener Garantietypen zur Absicherung vertraglicher Verpflichtungen. Im Wesentlichen handelt es sich dabei um Angebots-, Vertragserfüllungs-, Vorauszahlungs- und Gewährleistungsgarantien. Weiters haftet der Konzern gesamtschuldnerisch für die Verbindlichkeiten von Arbeitsgemeinschaften, an denen er beteiligt ist. Eine Inanspruchnahme aus diesen Haftungen ist nicht wahrscheinlich.
Der Konzern verfügt über europäische Avalkreditlinien in Höhe von insgesamt TEUR 3.031.674 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.683.520), davon sind TEUR 1.095.000 (Vorjahr: TEUR 976.080) mit einer Laufzeit von mindestens drei Jahren abgeschlossen. Der Rest in Höhe von TEUR 1.936.674 (Vorjahr: TEUR 1.707.441) ist in der Regel mit einer Laufzeit von einem Jahr ausgestattet. Darüber hinaus sind Linien in einigen arabischen Ländern in Höhe von TEUR 670.318 (Vorjahr: TEUR 599.534) implementiert. Die europäischen Linien sind per 31. Dezember 2018 mit rund 58 % (Vorjahr: 60 %), die Linien in den arabischen Ländern mit rund 52 % (Vorjahr: 11 %) ausgenützt.
In den dreijährigen Linien in Höhe von TEUR 1.095.000 (Vorjahr: TEUR 976.080) sind harmonisierte Financial Covenants inkludiert. Diese betreffen im überwiegenden Ausmaß das Verhältnis Net Debt/EBITDA oder die Eigenkapitalquote.
Sämtliche Trigger wurden per 31. Dezember 2018 erreicht. Auf Basis der geplanten Entwicklung ist davon auszugehen, dass diese beim nächsten Berechnungsstichtag zum 31. Dezember 2019 ebenfalls erreicht werden.
Vereinbarungsgemäß werden in Anspruch genommene Avale an die Tochtergesellschaften weiterverrechnet.
Die erzielten Umsatzerlöse gliedern sich nach folgenden Tätigkeitsbereichen:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Bauleistung | 9.229 | 1.056 |
| Verwaltung | 93.410 | 85.925 |
| Vermietungen | 10.454 | 10.650 |
| Garantieverwaltung | 17.994 | 15.190 |
| Sonstige Dienstleistungen für Töchterunternehmen | 10.268 | 9.802 |
| Sonstige | 3.706 | 2.215 |
| Gesamt | 145.061 | 124.838 |
Die Umsatzerlöse wurden fast zur Gänze im Inland erzielt. Die darin enthaltenen Bauleistungen resultieren hauptsächlich aus Erlösen in Zusammenhang mit dem von dritter Seite beauftragten Projekt "neue arbeitswelt".
Die übrigen betrieblichen Erträge setzen sich im Wesentlichen aus Erträgen aus Zuschüssen und Kursgewinnen zusammen.
Aufwendungen für Abfertigungen beinhalten die Dotierung der Rückstellungen für die Abfertigungsansprüche von Dienstnehmern sowie die ausbezahlten Abfertigungen.
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Aufwendungen für Abfertigungen | 110 | 1.918 |
| Leistungen an betriebliche Vorsorgekassen für Mitarbeiter | 354 | 296 |
| Aufwendungen für Abfertigungen und Leistungen an betriebliche Mitarbeitervorsorgekassen | 464 | 2.214 |
| Aufwendungen für Altersversorgung | 1.264 | -376 |
| Aufwendungen für Abfertigungen und Pensionen | 1.728 | 1.838 |
| Diese gliedern sich wie folgt: | ||
| Vorstandsbezüge und Ruhebezüge ehemaliger Vorstandsmitglieder | 752 | 1.431 |
| Leitende Angestellte | 579 | -36 |
| Sonstige Arbeitnehmer | 397 | 443 |
| Gesamt | 1.728 | 1.838 |
Im Personalaufwand sind Unterschiedsbeträge aus der geänderten Bewertung aufgrund der Umstellung der Sterbetafeln enthalten, die zur Gänze im Geschäftsjahr 2018 aufgeholt wurden.
In den übrigen sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen sind im Wesentlichen Kosten des Bürobetriebs, Avalprovisionen und Spesen des Geldverkehrs, Reisespesen, Werbekosten, Aufwendungen für Gebäude und Grundstücke, Rechts-, Prüfungs- und Beratungskosten sowie Aufwendungen für Kosten der Abschlussprüfung.
Die Erträge aus Beteiligungen beinhalten Erträge aufgrund von Ergebnisabführungsverträgen in Höhe von EUR 100.356.606,65 (Vorjahr: TEUR 46.147) sowie Erträge aus phasenkongruente Dividenden in Höhe von EUR 400.000,00 (Vorjahr: TEUR 0).
In den Aufwendungen aus Finanzanlagen sind Verlustübernahmen von Tochterunternehmen aufgrund von Ergebnisabführungsverträgen in Höhe von EUR 3.033.298,38 (Vorjahr: TEUR 2.087) enthalten.
Die Steuern vom Einkommen und Ertrag in Höhe von TEUR 7.556 setzen sich aus in- und ausländischer Körperschaftssteuer, dem Steueraufwand, der im Zuge der Gruppenbesteuerung gem. § 9 KStG der PORR AG als Gruppenträger zuzurechnen ist, und latenter Steuern zusammen.
Die Veränderung der latenten Steuer, die das Geschäftsjahr 2018 betrifft, beträgt EUR 7.356.229,00. Bei der Berechnung der latenten Steuern wurde der aktuelle Steuersatz für Körperschaften in Höhe von 25 % angewendet und ist in der gesonderten Beilage "Steuerlatenz" ersichtlich.
Bei einem positiven steuerlichen Ergebnis des Gruppenmitglieds berechnet sich die Steuerumlage nach dem Körperschaftsteueraufwand, den das Gruppenmitglied zu bezahlen gehabt hätte, wenn sein steuerliches Ergebnis nicht dem Gruppenträger zugerechnet worden wäre. Bei einem negativen steuerlichen Ergebnis des Gruppenmitglieds wird dieser Verlust evident gehalten und kann gegen spätere Gewinne verrechnet werden. Bei einem Ausscheiden aus der Gruppe sind erzielte steuerliche Verluste beziehungsweise nicht ausgleichsfähige Verluste, die im Zeitpunkt der Beendigung noch nicht gegen spätere Gewinne nach § 2 Abs. 2 EStG verrechnet sind, in Form einer Ausgleichszahlung vom nächsthöheren Gruppenmitglied abzugelten.
Der Aufwand aus Steuern vom Einkommen und Ertrag errechnet sich wie folgt:
| in TEUR | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Körperschaftssteuer | 10.922 | 1.859 |
| Steuerumlagen | -1.300 | -286 |
| Steuerumlagen Ausland | 5.280 | - |
| Ausländische Steuer | 10 | 10 |
| Latente Steuer | -7.356 | 163 |
| Gesamt | 7.556 | 1.746 |
Am 12. August 2015 hat die PORR AG ein Schuldscheindarlehen (SSD) in Höhe von TEUR 185.500, bestehend aus vier Tranchen mit fixer und variabler Verzinsung, platziert. Im August 2016 wurde das Schuldscheindarlehen um TEUR 14.500 auf TEUR 200.000 erhöht und die Tranchen mit variabler Verzinsung zum Teil prolongiert. Eine nochmalige Laufzeit- und Zinssatzänderung bei Tranchen mit variabler Verzinsung erfolgte im Februar 2017.
Im August 2018 wurde eine Tranche in Höhe von TEUR 21.000 termingerecht getilgt. Gleichzeitig erfolgten bei drei weiteren Tranchen Umschichtungen sowie eine Reduzierung in Gesamthöhe von TEUR 2.000 verbunden mit Laufzeitund Zinssatzänderungen.
Das Schuldscheindarlehen beläuft sich nun auf eine Höhe von TEUR 177.000 und gliedert sich wie folgt:
| in TEUR | Nominale | Laufzeit | Verzinsung | Zinssatz |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 1.000.000,00 | 12.08.2019 | fix | 1,15 % |
| Tranche 2 | 11.000.000,00 | 12.08.2020 | fix | 2,249 % |
| Tranche 3 | 18.000.000,00 | 12.08.2020 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,25 % |
| Tranche 4 | 37.000.000,00 | 12.08.2021 | fix | 1,55 % |
| Tranche 5 | 15.000.000,00 | 12.08.2021 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,55 % |
| Tranche 6 | 30.000.000,00 | 14.02.2022 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,55 % |
| Tranche 7 | 5.000.000,00 | 14.08.2023 | fix | 1,917% |
| Tranche 8 | 10.000.000,00 | 14.08.2023 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,90 % |
| Tranche 9 | 40.000.000,00 | 14.08.2023 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,60 % |
| Tranche 10 | 10.000.000,00 | 13.02.2024 | variabel | 6-Monats-EURIBOR+1,90 % |
Die Tranchen mit variabler Verzinsung wurden mittels Interest Rate Swaps (Tausch variabler Zinssatz gegen Fixzins), die als Cashflow-Hedges designiert wurden, gesichert.
Der Zeitwert der Interest Rate Swaps ist zum 31. Dezember 2018 mit EUR 1.756.206,70 negativ. Eine Rückstellung für den negativen Marktwert wurde aufgrund der Sicherungsbeziehung, welche eine 100%ige Effektivität aufweist, nicht gebildet.
Weiters hat die Gesellschaft im Geschäftsjahr 2018 für innerkonzernale Finanzierungen an Tochtergesellschaften in der Schweiz, Norwegen und Katar Kurssicherungen in Form von Devisentermingeschäften abgeschlossen.
Der beizuliegende Zeitwert sämtlicher Devisentermingeschäfte zum 31. Dezember 2018 ist mit EUR 60.551,22 positiv.

Per Valuta 15. Februar 2019 erfolgte die Platzierung von Schuldscheindarlehen (SSD) im Gesamtausmaß von EUR 203 Mio., wobei der Zufluss an Liquidität netto EUR 183 Mio. betrug, nachdem EUR 20 Mio. aus Alttranchen in die neue Transaktion integriert und auf diesem Wege vorzeitig verlängert wurden. Diese unterteilen sich in 4-, 5- und 7-jährige Tranchen, jeweils mit fixer und variabler Verzinsung. Die Emmission beinhaltet auch eine Grüne Tranche in Höhe von EUR 31,5 Mio., die im Rahmen der "Eligible Green Principles" begeben wurden. Für den Nachweis zur Einhaltung dieser Prinzipien wurde eine "Second Party Opinion" einer unabhängigen Ratingagentur "Sustainalytics" beigebracht. Refinanziert werden in diesem Zusammenhang umweltschonende und nachhaltige Investitionen in PORR Bürogebäude sowie Investitionen im Rahmen der PORR Aktivitäten im Bereich Umwelttechnik.

Wir haben den Jahresabschluss der PORR AG, Wien, bestehend aus der Bilanz zum 31. Dezember 2018, der Gewinnund Verlustrechnung für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr und dem Anhang, geprüft.
Nach unserer Beurteilung entspricht der beigefügte Jahresabschluss den gesetzlichen Vorschriften und vermittelt ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens- und Finanzlage zum 31. Dezember 2018 sowie der Ertragslage der Gesellschaft für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-Verordnung Nr. 537/2014 (im Folgenden EU-VO) und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung durchgeführt. Diese Grundsätze erfordern die Anwendung der International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Unsere Verantwortlichkeiten nach diesen Vorschriften und Standards sind im Abschnitt "Verantwortlichkeiten des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses" unseres Bestätigungsvermerks weitergehend beschrieben. Wir sind von der Gesellschaft unabhängig in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen und berufsrechtlichen Vorschriften und wir haben unsere sonstigen beruflichen Pflichten in Übereinstimmung mit diesen Anforderungen erfüllt. Wir sind der Auffassung, dass die von uns erlangten Prüfungsnachweise ausreichend und geeignet sind, um als Grundlage für unser Prüfungsurteil zu dienen.
Besonders wichtige Prüfungssachverhalte sind solche Sachverhalte, die nach unserem pflichtgemäßen Ermessen am bedeutsamsten für unsere Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren. Diese Sachverhalte wurden im Zusammenhang mit unserer Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses und bei der Bildung unseres Prüfungsurteils hierzu berücksichtigt, und wir geben kein gesondertes Prüfungsurteil zu diesen Sachverhalten ab.
Nachfolgend stellen wir die aus unserer Sicht besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalte dar:
– Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen
Der Buchwert der "Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen" beträgt zum 31.12.2018 rd. MEUR 683. Bezogen auf die Bilanzsumme der Gesellschaft entspricht das einem Anteil von etwa 60 %. Die Werthaltigkeit der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen hat somit signifikanten Einfluss auf die Vermögens- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft.
Der Beurteilung der Werthaltigkeit der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen wird auf Basis der DCF-Methode durchgeführt und erfordert wesentliche Annahmen und Schätzungen. Sie ist daher mit Unsicherheit behaftet. Für den Abschluss besteht das Risiko einer Überbewertung der Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen.
Neben der Darstellung der Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden in Abschnitt II. enthält Abschnitt III. 1. Anlagevermögen des Anhangs Angaben und Erläuterungen zu den Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen. Im Beteiligungsspiegel (Beilage 2 zum Anhang) sind die gehaltenen Anteile sowie der Buchwert des Eigenkapitals und das letzte Jahresergebnis der Beteiligungsgesellschaften dargestellt. In Abschnitt IV. 4. sind Angaben zu Erträgen und Aufwendungen aus Beteiligungen enthalten.
Um das Risiko zu adressieren, haben wir die Angemessenheit der zukunftsbezogenen Schätzungen und wesentlichen Annahmen sowie der herangezogenen Berechnungsmethoden beurteilt.
Dabei haben wir die in den zu Grunde gelegten Planungsrechnungen angesetzten Prämissen und wesentlichen Werttreiber unter Berücksichtigung der allgemeinen und branchenspezifischen Markterwartungen analysiert und plausibilisiert.
Die Angemessenheit des Diskontierungszinssatzes wurde durch den Vergleich der für die Bestimmung des Diskontierungszinssatzes maßgeblichen Parameter mit markt- und branchenspezifischen Richtwerten geprüft. Darüber hinaus wurde die rechnerische Richtigkeit des Berechnungsschemas überprüft.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses und dafür, dass dieser in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft vermittelt. Ferner sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter verantwortlich für die internen Kontrollen, die sie als notwendig erachten, um die Aufstellung eines Jahresabschlusses zu ermöglichen, der frei von wesentlichen – beabsichtigten oder unbeabsichtigten – falschen Darstellungen ist.
Bei der Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter dafür verantwortlich, die Fähigkeit der Gesellschaft zur Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit zu beurteilen, Sachverhalte im Zusammenhang mit der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit – sofern einschlägig – anzugeben, sowie dafür, den Rechnungslegungsgrundsatz der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit anzuwenden, es sei denn, die gesetzlichen Vertreter beabsichtigten, entweder die Gesellschaft zu liquidieren oder die Unternehmenstätigkeit einzustellen, oder haben keine realistische Alternative dazu.
Der Prüfungsausschuss ist verantwortlich für die Überwachung des Rechnungslegungsprozesses der Gesellschaft.
Unsere Ziele sind, hinreichende Sicherheit darüber zu erlangen, ob der Jahresabschluss als Ganzes frei von wesentlichen – beabsichtigten oder unbeabsichtigten – falschen Darstellungen ist und einen Bestätigungsvermerk zu erteilen, der unser Prüfungsurteil beinhaltet. Hinreichende Sicherheit ist ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit, aber keine Garantie dafür, dass eine in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, durchgeführte Abschlussprüfung eine wesentliche falsche Darstellung, falls eine solche vorliegt, stets aufdeckt. Falsche Darstellungen können aus dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern resultieren und werden als wesentlich angesehen, wenn von ihnen einzeln oder insgesamt vernünftigerweise erwartet werden könnte, dass sie die auf der Grundlage dieses Jahresabschlusses getroffenen wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen von Nutzern beeinflussen.
Als Teil einer Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, üben wir während der gesamten Abschlussprüfung pflichtgemäßes Ermessen aus und bewahren eine kritische Grundhaltung.
Wir tauschen uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss unter anderem über den geplanten Umfang und die geplante zeitliche Einteilung der Abschlussprüfung sowie über bedeutsame Prüfungsfeststellungen, einschließlich etwaiger bedeutsamer Mängel im internen Kontrollsystem, die wir während unserer Abschlussprüfung erkennen, aus.
Wir geben dem Prüfungsausschuss auch eine Erklärung ab, dass wir die relevanten beruflichen Verhaltensanforderungen zur Unabhängigkeit eingehalten haben, und tauschen uns mit ihm über alle Beziehungen und sonstigen Sachverhalte aus, von denen vernünftigerweise angenommen werden kann, dass sie sich auf unsere Unabhängigkeit und – sofern einschlägig – damit zusammenhängende Schutzmaßnahmen auswirken.
Wir bestimmen von den Sachverhalten, über die wir uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss ausgetauscht haben, die am bedeutsamsten für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren und daher die besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalte sind. Wir beschreiben diese Sachverhalte in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk, es sei denn, Gesetze oder andere Rechtsvorschriften schließen die öffentliche Angabe des Sachverhalts aus oder wir bestimmen in äußerst seltenen Fällen, dass ein Sachverhalt nicht in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk mitgeteilt werden sollte, weil vernünftigerweise erwartet wird, dass die negativen Folgen einer solchen Mitteilung deren Vorteile für das öffentliche Interesse übersteigen würden.
Der Lagebericht ist auf Grund der österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften darauf zu prüfen, ob er mit dem Jahresabschluss in Einklang steht und ob er nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt wurde.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Lageberichts in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Prüfung in Übereinstimmung mit den Berufsgrundsätzen zur Prüfung des Lageberichts durchgeführt.
Nach unserer Beurteilung ist der Lagebericht nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt worden, enthält die nach § 243a UGB zutreffenden Angaben und steht in Einklang mit dem Jahresabschluss.
Angesichts der bei der Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und des gewonnenen Verständnisses über die Gesellschaft und ihr Umfeld wurden wesentliche fehlerhafte Angaben im Lagebericht nicht festgestellt.
Wir wurden von der Hauptversammlung am 29. Mai 2018 als Abschlussprüfer gewählt. Wir wurden am 12. Juni 2018 vom Aufsichtsrat beauftragt. Wir sind ununterbrochen seit dem Geschäftsjahr 2002 Abschlussprüfer.
Wir erklären, dass das Prüfungsurteil im Abschnitt "Bericht zum Jahresabschluss" mit dem zusätzlichen Bericht an den Prüfungsausschuss nach Artikel 11 der EU-VO in Einklang steht.
Wir erklären, dass wir keine verbotenen Nichtprüfungsleistungen (Artikel 5 Abs. 1 der EU-VO) erbracht haben und dass wir bei der Durchführung der Abschlussprüfung unsere Unabhängigkeit von der geprüften Gesellschaft gewahrt haben.
Wir haben zusätzlich zur Abschlussprüfung für die geprüfte Gesellschaft und für von dieser beherrschte Unternehmen keine Leistungen erbracht, die nicht im Jahresabschluss oder im Lagebericht angegeben worden sind.
Der für die Abschlussprüfung auftragsverantwortliche Wirtschaftsprüfer ist Mag. Klemens Eiter.
