STRABAG SE is one of Europe's leading construction groups. The company has its headquarters in Villach, Austria. From its core markets of Austria and Germany, STRABAG is present via its numerous subsidiaries in all countries of Eastern and South-East Europe including Russia, in selected markets in Western Europe and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in the project business in Africa, Asia and the Americas. STRABAG's activities span the entire construction industry (Building Construction & Civil Engineering, Transportation Infrastructures, Tunnelling, construction-related services) and cover the entire value-added chain in the field of construction.
The consolidated financial statements of STRABAG SE at the reporting date 31 December 2011, were drawn up under application of Section 245a Paragraph 2 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
Applied were exclusively those standards and interpretations adopted by the European Commission before the reporting deadline and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Further reporting requirements of Section 245a Paragraph 1 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) were fulfilled as well.
In addition to a statement of comprehensive income, the financial statements include a cash-flow statement in accordance with IAS 7, and a statement of changes in equity and a statement of recognised income and expense (IAS 1). The disclosures in the Notes also contain a segment reporting section in accordance with IFRS 8.
In order to improve the clarity of the representation, various items in the balance sheet and the income statement have been combined. These items have been shown separately and are explained in the group notes. The income statement has been drawn up in accordance with the nature of expense method.
The consolidated financial statements were drawn up in T€. The presentation in T€ may result in rounding differences.
The IASB has made amendments to the existing IFRS and passed several new IFRS and IFRIC, which are also adopted by the European Commission. Application became mandatory on 1 January 2011.
| Application for financial years which begin on or after (according to IAS B) |

| Amendments to various IFRS under the 2010 annual improvement process | Generally 1.7.2010 |
1.7.2010/ 1.1.2011 |
The first-time application of the IFRS and IFRIC standards mentioned had minor consequences on STRABAG SE's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2011.
The IASB and the IFRIC approved further standards and interpretations. However, these were neither required to be applied in the 2011 financial year nor adopted by the European Commission. The amendments affect the following standards and interpretations:
| Application for financial years which begin on or after (according to IAS B) |
Application for financial years which begin on or after (according to EU endorse ment) |

Consequences for the consolidated financial statements are expected especially from the application of the following standards and interpretations:
IFRS 7 was amended to require additional disclosures for financial instruments which, despite a transfer of rights, are not derecognised in their entirety or which were derecognised in their entirety but for which certain risks remain associated with the transferred entity.
IFRS 7 and IAS 32 provide clarification under which conditions financial instruments may be offset in the balance sheet.
IFRS 9 follows a new standard for the classification and measurement of financial assets, distinguishing only between two measurement categories (measurement at fair value and measurement at amortised cost) based on the entity's business model or on the characteristics of the contractual cash-flows of the financial asset in question. Measurement with regard to impairment is to be performed using a uniform method.
IFRS 10 and IAS 27: IFRS 10 replaces the criteria for consolidated financial statements contained in IAS 27 and addresses issues that had previously been governed by SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control so that the same criteria are applied to all entities to determine control. The new definition provides for more comprehensive rules to define the scope of consolidation than under IAS 27. Like IAS 27, IFRS 10 addresses the basic consolidation requirements for the interest of non-controlling entities and requires the use of uniform accounting policies.
IFRS 11 and IAS 28 regulate the accounting of arrangements in which an entity exercises joint control over a joint venture or a joint operation. It supersedes the previous rules under IAS 31 and SIC-13. The new standard does away with the option of proportionate consolidation for jointly controlled entities (joint ventures).
IFRS 12: This new standard encompasses all disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements as well as for unconsolidated structured entities. It replaces the relevant requirements in IAS 27, IAS 28 and IAS 31.
IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements.
IAS 1 now requires the components of other comprehensive income to be presented in such a way that it is clear whether the income and expenses will be recognised in the income statement at a later point or whether these are never recognised in the income statement.
IAS 12 "Recovery of underlying assets": The changes offer a solution for the recognition of deferred taxes on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 as well as on revalued non-depreciable assets.
IAS 19: The amended version contains clarifications and changes. The new IAS 19 does away with the "corridor" method, i.e. the possibility of recognising actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit obligations divided over several periods. Measurement of the expected plan asset yields is performed by applying the same rate as is used to discount defined benefit obligations. As a result, the total revenue from plan assets is no longer recognised in the income statement. The new IAS 19 also contains extended disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans as well as changes to the accounting of termination benefits.
IFRIC 20: This interpretation addresses the removal of mine waste materials that are produced in the production phase of a surface mine. It defines when and how to account for benefits which may arise from such an activity, as well as how to measure these benefits.
Early application of the new standards and interpretations is not planned. The exact impact of the new standards and interpretations on the consolidated financial statements is currently being analysed.
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2011 include STRABAG SE as well as all major domestic and foreign subsidiaries where STRABAG SE either directly or indirectly holds a majority of the voting rights. Major associated companies and joint ventures are reported in the balance sheet using the equity method (investments in associates).
Group companies which are of minor importance for the purpose of giving a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash-flows of the group are not consolidated.
Subsidiaries included in the 2011 consolidated financial statements are given in the list of subsidiaries.
The financial year for all consolidated and associated companies, except A2 Strada Sp.z o.o., Warsaw, is identical with the calendar year.
The number of consolidated companies changed in the 2011 financial year as follows:
| consolidation | equity method | |
|---|---|---|
| Situation as of 31.12.2009 | 316 | 14 |
| First-time inclusions in year under report | 21 | 2 |

DIRECTROUTE (LIMERICK) CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, Fermoy Fell bellow significant level
The merger of the cement activities in Lafarge Cement CE Holding GmbH, Vienna, resulted in disposals of assets in the amount of T€ 276,241 and debt in the amount of T€ 3,741. This was countered by the acquisition of 30 % in Lafarge Cement CE Holding GmbH, accounted for under equity investments.
The remaining deconsolidation resulted in disposals of assets in the amount of T€ 114,308 and of liabilities – including non-controlling interests – in the amount of T€ 117,521.
The financial statements of the domestic and foreign companies included in the scope of consolidation are drawn up in accordance with uniform methods of accounting and valuation. The annual financial statements of the domestic and foreign group companies are adapted accordingly.
Capital consolidation is made in accordance with the stipulations contained in IFRS 3. All assets and liabilities of the subsidiary companies are recorded at the fair values. The proportional equity thereby determined is offset by the carrying value of the investment. A difference on the assets side, which is allotted to special, identifiable intangible assets acquired in the course of capital consolidation, is recognised separately from goodwill.
If a useful life can be allocated to these assets, the planned amortisation is made over the projected useful life. Intangible assets with an undefined useful life are tested annually for their fair value and amortised if necessary on the basis of an impairment test.
Any remaining differences on the assets side are capitalised as goodwill and submitted once annually to an impairment test in accordance with IAS 36. The option of recognising non-controlling interest at fair value (full goodwill method) is not applied.
In determining the cost of an acquisition, certain components of the purchase price are recognised at fair value at the time of initial consolidation. Later deviations from this value are recognised in profit or loss. In the revised IFRS 3, transaction costs are no longer recognised as the cost of acquisition but are immediately recognised directly in profit or loss.
In the 2011 financial year, T€ 28,515 in goodwill arising from capital consolidation were recognised as assets. Impairments in the amount of T€ 16,152 were made.
Negative goodwill stemming from capital consolidation is recorded directly through profit or loss.
In a step acquisition, assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Already existing interests have to be revalued at fair value through profit and loss. The goodwill is determined at the time of acquisition.
Value differences resulting from the acquisition or sale of investments in subsidiaries without the acquisition or loss of control are recognised in full directly in equity. The revised IAS 27 no longer permits the recognition of goodwill.
The same principles of capital consolidation are applied to investments included under the equity method as in the case of consolidated companies, whereby the respective last available financial statements serve as the basis for the equity method. A goodwill of T€ 150,426 (previous year: T€ 0) results from the first-time application of the equity method of the newly acquired companies, which is recognised as a component of investments in associates.
Within the framework of debt consolidation, outstanding trade receivables, loans and other receivables are offset with the corresponding liabilities and provisions of the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements.
Expenses and revenues from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. Results incurred from intra-group transactions that are recognised in the non-current and current assets have been eliminated if they are material.
Non-controlling interests in equity and profits of companies controlled by the parent company are shown separately in the consolidated financial statements.
The necessary tax deferrals are made for consolidation procedures.

The group currency is the euro. The financial statements for foreign companies or permanent establishment are converted into euro according to the functional currency concept (IAS 21). In all companies this is the respective local currency.
The most important currencies are listed under item 26: financial instruments along with their average exchange rates and their exchange rates on the balance sheet date.
All balance sheet items are converted at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Expense and income items are converted at the average annual rate.
In the course of capital consolidation, currency translation differences of T€ -56,280 (previous year: T€ 43,329) are recognised directly in equity in the financial year with no effect on the operating result. The currency translation differences between the closing rate for the balance sheet and the average rate for the income statement are allocated to equity.
The recognition of forward exchange operations directly in equity (hedging) increased the retained earnings excluding deferred taxes by T€ 740 (previous year: increase of T€ 28,036).
Restatements in accordance with IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies) were not necessary.
Acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are recognised at their initial costs or costs of production less depreciation and impairment. Both the direct and the appropriate parts of overhead costs for the self-constructed plants are included in the production costs. Borrowing costs are recognised for qualifying assets.
Development costs are capitalised if the group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for internal use or sale and if it can demonstrate the intent to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it. The group must also demonstrate that the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, that it has adequate resources to complete the asset and that it is able to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development. The construction costs for these assets comprise all construction costs directly attributable to the construction process as well as production-related overheads. Borrowing costs are capitalised for qualified assets. The capitalised development costs are amortised and depreciated according to the straight-line method over the period for which revenues from the respective project are expected.
Goodwill and intangible assets without a determinable useful life are subject to an annual impairment test in accordance with IAS 36 based on which the impairment is undertaken.
Within the scope of the impairment test cash-generating units are identified and assigned them a goodwill value. If the book value of a cash-generating unit including its goodwill exceeds the highest attainable value, an impairment loss must be recognised.
Other intangible and tangible assets are amortised and depreciated according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and if the present value of the future cash surpluses is lower than the carrying value, then the assets recoverable amount must be calculated in accordance with IAS 36.
The following useful lives were assumed in the determination of the rate of depreciation/amortisation:
Subsidies and investment allowances of public bodies are deducted from the respective asset value and depreciated according to the useful life.
Land and real estate which are held in order to gain rental income and/or to rise in value have been stated as investment property in accordance with IAS 40. The amount reported and the evaluation are made in accordance with the cost model. Investment property is recognised at cost and depreciated within the straight-line method. If the present value of the future cash-flows is lower than the carrying value, then an impairment to the lower fair value in accordance with IAS 36 is made. The fair value of this investment property is stated separately. This is determined according to recognised methods such as the derivation of the current market price of comparable real estate or the discounted cash-flow method.
Leasing contracts on assets on which all opportunities and risks essentially lie with the company are treated as finance leases. The fixed assets underlying these leasing agreements are capitalised at the present value of the minimum payments at the beginning of leasing relations and depreciated over their useful life or over shorter contract terms. These are offset by the liabilities arising from future leasing payments, whereby the former are recognised at the present value of the outstanding obligations at the balance sheet.
In addition there are leasing agreements for property, plant and equipment which are regarded as operating leases. Leasing payments resulting from these contracts are recognised as expenditure.
In accordance with IAS 28, investments in associates are recognised using the equity method as long as they are not immaterial. For purpose of transition to IFRS, the financial statements of the major companies evaluated in accordance with the equity method are to be adapted to IFRS in terms of uniform accounting policies.
Subsidiaries which are not consolidated due to immateriality and other investments which are not reported using the equity method are reported at historical cost or with the fair value in accordance with IAS 39 in as far as this value can be reliably determined.
Interest-bearing loans are, as long as no impairments are necessary, reported at nominal value. Interest-free or low-interestbearing loans are reported at their present value.
Securities classified as available for sale are initially valued according to acquisition costs and later recognised at fair value. Fair value changes are in principle recognised directly in equity and only recognised in the consolidated income statement upon disposal of the security. The permanent impairment of securities classified as available for sale is recorded through profit or loss.
Deferred taxes are measured using the balance sheet liability method for all differences between the valuation of the balance sheet items in the IFRS financial statements and the existing tax value at the individual companies. Furthermore, any realisable tax advantage from existing losses carried forward will be included in the calculation. Exceptions to this comprehensive tax deferral are balances from non-tax-deductible goodwill.
Deferred tax assets may only be recognised if the associated tax advantage is likely to be realisable. The calculation of the tax deferral is based on the usual income tax rate in the respective country at the point of the predicted reversal.
Inventory costs include cost of purchase and production and are required to be stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Production costs include all direct costs as well as appropriate parts of overhead arising in the production. Distribution costs, as well as costs for general administration, are not included in the production costs. Borrowing costs related to production are recognised for inventories which are to be classified as qualifying assets.
Service concession arrangements which provide an absolute contractual right to receive payment are shown separately. All receivables from concession arrangements are accounted for under the special balance sheet item receivables from concession arrangements. The receivables are carried at the present value of the payment to be made. The annual accumulation amount is recognised in other operating income, where it is balanced with the interest expense from related non-recourse financing.
The hedging transactions embedded in the concession arrangements are carried at fair value and shown in the item receivables from concession arrangements.
Trade receivables and other receivables are evaluated at their nominal value less impairment for realisable individual risks. Graduated impairment is formed according to risk groups in order to take general loan risks on customer receivables into consideration.
Non-interest bearing and low-interest-bearing receivables are discounted. Foreign currency receivables are evaluated on the balance sheet date at the valid exchange rate.
In the case of receivables from construction contracts, the results are realised according to the percentage of completion method (IAS 11). The output volume actually attained by the balance sheet date serves as a benchmark for the degree of completion. If future results cannot be reliably determined because of uncertainties in the future construction progress, construction contracts are recognised at cost. Impending losses from the further construction process are accounted for by means of appropriate depreciation.
If the costs incurred plus recognised profits exceed the payments received for it, then this is shown on the assets side under receivables from construction contracts. Vice versa, this is reported on the liabilities side under liabilities from construction contracts.
The results, in the case of construction contracts which are carried out in consortia, are realised according to the percentage of completion method in accordance with the degree of completion on the balance sheet date. Impending losses arising from further construction work are accounted for by means of appropriate depreciation. Receivables from or liabilities to consortia include the proportional contract result as well as capital contributions, in- and out-flows of cash and charges resulting from services.
Non-financial assets are measured at cost less extraordinary depreciation.
Financial assets classified as loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost less impairment losses.
Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid assets which at the date of acquisition or investment have a remaining term of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost.
Provisions for severance payments are created as a result of statutory regulations. The group is obliged to pay a one-off severance payment to employees of domestic subsidiaries in the case of termination or retirement if their employment began before 1 January 2003.
The level of this payment depends on the number of years at the company and amount due at the time of severance and comes to between 2 and 12 monthly salaries. A provision is made for this obligation.
The provisions for severance payments are calculated according to the projected unit credit method by using actuarial expertise. Here the future claim over the length of employment of the employees is collected while taking any future pay rises into consideration. The present value of the already earned partial-claims on the reporting date is recognised as the provision.
Pension provisions are calculated according to the projected unit credit method (IAS 19). This method determines the discounted post-employment benefit obligation acquired up to the balance sheet date. Due to the commitment of fixed pensions, it is not necessary to consider expected future salary rises as part of the actuarial parameters.
The actuarial gains and losses are fully and directly recognised in equity. Service costs are recognised in the employee benefits expense, interest costs in the allocation of provisions in the financial result.
Old-age-part-time indemnity payments are determined according to the same actuarial principles as the pension provisions.
All employees of the Swiss companies are covered by pension funds at pension fund providers, with benefit contributions made by employers and employees. Because employers and employees are charged a "restructuring contribution" in the event that the fund does not have sufficient assets to cover the employees' entitlements, IAS 19 identifies this system as a defined benefit plan.
The conditions applied to calculate the severance and pension provisions for discounting, pay rises and fluctuation vary from country to country depending on the economic situation. Life expectancy is calculated according to the respective country's mortality tables.
The other provisions take into consideration all realisable risks and uncertain obligations. They are recognised at the respective amount, which is necessary at the balance sheet date according to commercial judgement in order to cover future payment obligations, realisable risks and uncertain obligations within the group. Hereby the respective amount is recognised, which arises as the most probable on careful examination of the facts. Long-term provisions are, in as far as they are not immaterial, entered into the accounts at their discounted discharge amount on the balance sheet date. The discharge amount also includes the cost increases to be considered on the reporting date. Provisions which arise from the obligation to recultivate gravel sites are allocated according to the rate of utilisation.
Non-financial liabilities reported under other liabilities are carried at the repayment amount. The overpaid amounts from construction contracts are qualified as non-financial liabilities.
Liabilities are basically recognised at the repayment amount. Foreign currency liabilities are evaluated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Interest-free liabilities, especially those from finance lease liabilities, are accounted at the present value of the repayment obligation.
Costs related to the issue of corporate bonds are deducted over the term.
Contingent liabilities are present or possible future obligations which are not reflected in the balance sheet as liabilities because an outflow of resources is not probable. They are – as long as IFRS 3 does not require recognition on acquisition – not reflected in the balance sheet. The amount of the contingent liabilities reported corresponds to the amount of existing guarantees outstanding on balance sheet date.
Derivative financial instruments are employed exclusively to mitigate risks arising from movements in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The utilisation of financial derivatives is subject to internal guidelines and controls.
All derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value in accordance with IAS 39 and reported under other financial receivables or other financial liabilities.
Derivative financial instruments are measured on the basis of inter-bank conditions and, if necessary, the loan margin applicable for STRABAG or stock exchange price, under application of the buying and selling rate on the balance sheet date. Where stock exchange prices are not used, the fair value is calculated by means of actuarial valuation methods.
Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments designated as qualified hedging instruments within the framework of a fair value hedge, or for which no qualified hedge relationship in accordance with IAS 39 could be established and which therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting, are recognised with an effect on income in the consolidated income statement.
Results from derivative financial instruments for which a cash-flow hedge has been formed and whose effectiveness has been established are carried in equity with no effect on income up to the date of realisation of the hedge transaction. Any potential changes in results due to the ineffectiveness of these financial instruments are recognised in the income statement with an immediate effect on income. The critical-term-match method is used to determine the prospective effectiveness. The retrospective effectiveness is determined by applying the dollar-offset method.
Revenues from the construction contracts are realised according to the percentage-of-completion method. The output volume actually attained at the balance sheet date serves as a benchmark for the degree of completion.
Revenues from the sale of proprietary projects, from trade to and services for consortia, from other services and from the sale of construction materials and bitumen are realised with the transfer of power to dispose and the related opportunities and risks and/ or with the rendering of the services.
Revenue which is to be seen as purely transitory due to consortial structures, is offset against the corresponding expenses.
Estimations and assumptions which refer to the amount and recognition of the assets and liabilities accounted, the income and expenditure as well as the statement of contingent liabilities are necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statement according to IFRS and essentially concern the assessment of building projects until completion, in particular the amount of the realisation of profits, the stage of completion, the accounting and evaluation of provisions, accounting of concession arrangements and the impairment test of goodwill and other assets. In the case of future-oriented assumptions and estimations on the balance sheet date, the realistically expected developments of the global and branch-related environment are taken into account with regard to the expected future business development at the time of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. In the case of developments in the underlying conditions which deviate from the assumptions and which are beyond the control of the management board, the amount which actually results can deviate from the estimated values. In the event such a development occurs, the assumptions and, if necessary, the carrying values of the affected assets and liabilities are adjusted to the latest information. During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, there were no signs which indicate the necessity to significantly change the underlying assumptions and estimations.

The composition of and changes in intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment is shown separately in consolidated statement of fixed assets.
No borrowing costs were capitalised for property, plant and equipment, or for intangible assets in the year under report, as significant qualifying assets were not produced or acquired after 1 January 2009.

The goodwill is submitted to an impairment test once a year. For impairment testing, the recoverable value of a cash-generating unit is compared with its corresponding book value.
The cash-generating unit basically corresponds to the acquired legal unit or units which profit from the synergy potential of the business combination.
The recoverable value is the fair value or value in use determined from the discounted future cash-flows.
This value is identified on the basis of the current budgeting of the internal reporting, as approved by the management board, which is based on past experiences and expectations concerning the future development of the market. The detailed planning period comprises at least 4 years and can be extended if this would allow a better depiction of the future cash-flows. The last detailed planning year forms the basis for the calculation of the perpetuities as long as applicable legislation and legal requirements do not limit the usability of the cash-generating unit to a shorter period of time.
The discount rate for the future cash-flows is identified while taking into account segment- and country-specific risks and growth rates. The discount interest rates range from 6.2 % to 10.7 % before taxes (previous year: 7.0 % to 11.1 %).
The comparison of the book values with the highest attainable values of the cash-generating entities determined by the annual impairment test showed a need for goodwill impairment of T€ 16,152 (previous year: T€ 49,536).
At the balance sheet date, development costs in the amount of T€ 17,588 (previous year: T€ 16,567) were capitalised as intangible assets.

Deferred taxes on losses carried forward were capitalised as these can probably be offset with future taxable profits.
The Austrian Corporate Income Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz) requires a tax-effective impairment of investments to be claimed over a period of seven years. The deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards contain open one-seventh impairments in the amount of € 46.9 million (previous year: € 34.6 million).
No deferred tax assets were made for differences in book value on the assets side and tax losses carried forward of € 674.4 million (previous year: € 630.1 million), as their effectiveness as final tax relief is not sufficiently assured.
No deferred tax assets in accordance with Section 12 of the Austrian Corporate Income Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz) were made for open one-seventh impairments in the amount of € 124.7 million (previous year: € 130.0 million).

STRABAG has a 100 % interest in the Hungarian M5 Motorway Concession Company, AKA Alföld Koncesszios Autopalya Zrt., Budapest (AKA).
In the concession agreement with the Hungarian state, AKA committed to develop, plan, finance and to build and operate the M5 motorway. The motorway itself is the property of the state; all vehicles and equipment necessary for motorway operation are to be transferred to the state free of charge following the end of the concession period.
In exchange, AKA will regularly receive an availability fee, independent of transit volume, from the Hungarian state for making the motorway available to the public. AKA bears the operator's risk of motorway closure and non-compliance of contractually agreed roadway criteria.
The route totals 156.5 km and was built in three phases. The concession period runs until 2031. A one-time extension for up to 17.5 years is possible.
All services provided under this concession arrangement are accounted for under the separate balance sheet item receivables from concession arrangements. The receivables are carried at the present value of the payment to be made by the state. The annual accumulation amount is recognised in other operating income.
A part of the availability fee consists of interest adjustment payments of the Hungarian state. As a result, the state bears the interest risk from the financing of AKA. These interest adjustment payments represent an embedded hedging transaction which is measured separately in accordance with IAS 39.11. Presentation is made as a cash-flow hedge; as a result, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recognised directly in equity.
The negative market value of the interest rate swap in the amount of T€ -27,217 (previous year: T€ 12,818) is also recognised as long-term receivables from concession arrangements.
Recognisable receivables from concession arrangements are offset by non-recourse financing in the amount of T€ 673,927 (previous year: T€ 715,099), classified either as a current or non-current liability depending on the term. The resulting interest expense is recognised in other operating income.
The STRABAG consortium KMG - Kliplev Motorway Group was awarded the tender for Denmark's first PPP project. The consortium will plan and build 26 km of the E51 motorway from Kliplev to Sønderborg as well as 18 km of side roads and seven interchanges and will operate the road over a period of 26 years from completion. The total investment volume amounts to € 148 million. Following the planned completion in the spring of 2012, the road will be sold to the state. The operation will then be paid for by regular payments from the state. The interim financing of the construction works includes non-recourse financing in the amount of T€ 80,251 (previous year: T€ 4,786).

In the previous year, the item involved the entirety of the property, plant and equipment assets of the Hungarian cement factory, which was incorporated into Lafarge Cement Holding CE GmbH effective 28 July 2011 (see the information regarding changes in the scope of consolidation).
The fully paid-in share capital amounts to € 114,000,000 and is split into 113,999,997 no-par bearer shares and three registered shares.
The management board was authorised, with the approval of the supervisory board, to increase the share capital of the company by up to € 57,000,000 by 19 June 2014, in several tranches if necessary, by issuing up to 57,000,000 registered no-par shares for cash or contributions in kind (approved capital). In the case of capital increase through contributions in kind, the partial or full exclusion of the shareholders' subscription rights is possible.
The exercise, issue price and conditions of issue shall be determined with the approval of the supervisory board. The supervisory board was authorised to determine the necessary changes to the Articles of Association required upon the issuance of shares from the approved capital.
The following resolutions were passed at the Annual General Meeting of 10 June 2011:
The existing authorisation to buy back own shares as per resolution by the Annual General Meeting of 18 June 2010 was cancelled.
The management board was authorised to acquire bearer or registered no-par shares of the company on the stock market or over the counter to the extent of up to 10 % of the share capital during a period of 13 months from the day of the resolution at a minimum price per share of € 1.00 and a maximum price per share of € 34.00. The purpose of the acquisition may not be to trade with own shares. The authorisation can be exercised in full or in part or in several partial amounts for one or several purposes by the company, a subsidiary or third parties acting on behalf of the company (§ 228 Abs. 3 UGB).
The management board can decide to acquire shares on the stock exchange but must inform the supervisory board following decision to do so. Over-the-counter purchases require prior approval by the supervisory board.
The management board was further authorised, for a period of five years from this resolution, to sell or assign its own shares, with approval by the supervisory board, in a manner other than on the stock market or through a public tender, to the exclusion of the shareholders' buyback rights (subscription rights), and to determine the conditions of sale according to § 65 Abs 1b AktG. The authorisation can be exercised in full or in part or in several partial amounts for one or several purposes by the company, a subsidiary or third parties acting on behalf of the company (§ 228 Abs. 3 UGB).
From 14 July 2011, the management board made use of the authorisation to acquire own shares. By 31 December 2011, 8,775,264 no-par shares were acquired on the stock market and over the counter. This corresponds to 7.7 % of the share capital. The costs for the acquisition of own shares are deducted directly from equity without affecting profit or loss and are presented separately in the retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity.
Retained earnings include differences arising from currency translation, statutory and mandatory reserves, financial instrument changes recorded directly in equity (including hedging reserves), as well as changes in equity from actuarial gains/losses from the calculation of provisions for personnel. The retained earnings also include the profit for the period as well as the result brought forward from previous periods of STRABAG SE and its consolidated subsidiaries, as far as these were not eliminated by the capital consolidation.
Details as to the equity of STRABAG SE are represented in the statement of changes in equity.
Long-term economic success, within the context of responsibility to our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors and the company itself, is the primary entrepreneurial objective of the STRABAG Group. Working to pursue these goals, recognising opportunities and risks before and as they arise, and responsibly taking these into consideration safeguards the continuity of the group and protects the interests of the shareholders.
To guarantee the continuity of the company, the management and responsible employees assure that there is a balanced relationship between opportunities and risks during the selection of projects and assess the individual risks against the background of the overall company risk.
The group equity ratio target was defined at between 20 % and 25 % during the IPO of STRABAG SE in October 2007. The equity capital ratio is calculated from the book value of the equity as of 31 December divided by the balance sheet total as of 31 December. The equity contains all parts of the equity according to the balance sheet: share capital, capital reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interests.
The group equity ratio as of 31 December 2011 amounted to 30 % (previous year: 31 %). With this equity base, the STRABAG Group will be able to participate increasingly in tenders for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. It means that the necessary funds for a participation in equity capital are available and that the related change in the balance sheet total will be manageable.
If the group is awarded the tender for large-scale projects, or if a strategically suitable acquisition is made, the equity ratio could briefly fall below the set minimum. In this case, the company reserves the right to adjust the dividend payments to the shareholders or to issue new shares.

The short-term provisions include provisions for taxes as well as other provisions in the amount of T€ 684,175 (previous year: T€ 588,065). The long-term provisions amounting to T€ 923,976 (previous year: T€ 927,948) mainly include severance provisions, pension provisions and provisions for guarantees.
Provisions for severance payments show the following development:
| 2011 T€ |
2010 T€ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Present value of the defined benefit obligation as of 1.1. | 69,356 | 70,479 |

| Current service costs | 3,472 | 2,561 |

| Actuarial gains/losses | -1,724 | -1,384 |
| Present value of the defined benefit obligation as of 31.12. | 70,438 | 69,356 |
The provisions for pensions are formed for obligations from the right to future pension payments and current payments to present and past employees and their dependents. The obligations primarily refer to retirement pensions. The individual commitments are generally determined according to the employment conditions of the employee at the time of the commitment (et al. length of service, salary of employee). Basically no new commitments have been awarded since 1999.
The company pension scheme in Germany consists of a non-fund-financed, defined benefit pension plan. In the case of defined benefit pension systems, the company is obliged to fulfil payment commitments to present and past employees. There are no defined contribution plans in the form of financing by relief funds outside the group.
The amount of the provision is calculated using actuarial methods based on biometric tables of Klaus Heubeck (Germany) or the AVÖ 2008-P (Austria). This is based on a discounting rate of 5.00 % (previous year: 5.00 %) for provisions for severance payments and pensions and a salary increase of 2.25 % respectively 2.00 % for severance payments (previous year: 2.25 % respectively 2.00 % for severance payments). For future pension increases, a rate of escalation is set dependent on the contractual adaptation terms.
With reference to the company agreement concerning the old-age-part-time settlement, which had initially affected the operative German companies in the STRABAG Group in 2000, further additional obligations for retirement indemnity payments incurred. These obligations have been transferred to the STRABAG Unterstützungskasse GmbH, Cologne. The old-age-part-time indemnity payments are determined using the same basic principles as for the pension provisions. They are included in the group as a result of the consolidation of the STRABAG Unterstützungskasse GmbH, Cologne.
To cover the retirement benefit obligations of employees at the Swiss companies, pension funds exist at pension fund providers. Obligations to provide additional benefits means that these are to be qualified as a defined benefit pension system.
These obligations were calculated using actuarial methods based on the BVG 2010 biometric tables and a retirement age of 65 for men and 64 for women. Further serving as a basis were a discounting rate of 2.5 %, a salary increase of 2.0 %, an indexing of the pensions of 0.25 % and a weighted yield on the plan assets in the amount of 2.8 %.

The provisions for taxes mainly comprise current income taxes.
The construction-related provisions include other warranty obligations, costs of the contract execution and subsequent costs of invoiced contracts, as well as impending losses from projects pending which are not accounted for elsewhere. The personnelrelated provisions essentially include anniversary bonus obligations, contributions to occupational accident funds as well as costs of the old-age-part-time scheme and personnel downsizing measures. Other provisions include provisions for damages and litigations and restructuring.

In order to secure liabilities to banks, real securities amounting to T€ 171,795 (previous year: T€ 123,350) have been booked.

| 31.12.2011 T€ |

|
|---|---|---|
| Guarantees without financial guarantees | 1,988 | 12,633 |
In the construction industry, it is customary and necessary to provide various types of guarantees to secure the contractual obligations. These guarantees are usually issued by banks or credit insurers and most commonly comprise bid, contract performance, prepayment and warranty guarantees. In the event these guarantees are called upon, the relevant banks have a contractual right of recourse against the group. The risk that such guarantees are utilised and that a right of recourse arises materialises only if the primary contractual obligations are not properly performed.
Obligations and possible risks from such guarantees are recognised in the balance sheet as provisions or liabilities.
Not included in the balance sheet or the contingent liability as of 31 December 2011 are fulfilment guarantees in the amount of € 2.0 billion (previous year: € 2.0 billion) of which an outflow of resources is unlikely.
As is customary in the industry, STRABAG SE shares liability with the other partners of consortia and joint ventures in which companies of the STRABAG Group hold a share interest.
The representation of the cash-flow statement was made according to the indirect method and separated into the cash-flows classified by operating, investing and financing activities. The cash and cash equivalents include exclusively cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term securities. Any effects of changes in consolidation were eliminated and represented in the cash-flow from investing activities.
The cash and cash equivalents are composed as follows:
| 31.12.2011 T€ |
31.12.2010 T€ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Securities | 20,553 | 34,362 |

| Bank deposits | 1,677,393 | 1,915,354 |
| 1,700,237 | 1,952,452 |
The cash and cash equivalents include deposits abroad in the amount of T€ 6,437 (previous year: T€ 7,584), subject to the restriction that they may only be transferred to another country following official completion of the construction order. Of the cash and cash equivalents, T€ 5,188 (previous year: T€ 21,674) are pledged as collateral (see also item 26).
A financial instrument is a contract that results in a financial asset at one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument at another. Financial assets include especially cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables and derivatives. Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial assets. These include especially financial liabilities such as bank borrowings, bonds, liabilities arising from financial leasing and trade payables. Initial recognition is carried out in principle using settlement date accounting.
The financial instruments are derecognised when the claims to payment from the investment extinguish or have been transferred and the group has largely transferred all risks and opportunities which are related with the property.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables have for the most part short remaining terms. Accordingly, their book values on the balance sheet date approximate their fair value. The fair value of non-current financial assets corresponds to the present value of the related payments under consideration of the prevailing market parameters.
Trade payables and other financial liabilities typically have short terms; their book values approximate the fair value. The fair value of bonds, bank borrowing and liabilities arising from financial leasing are measured at the present value of the payments associated with them under consideration of the relevant applicable market parameters as far as market values were not available.

Dividends and expenses from investments shown in the net investment income are part of the operating income and therefore not part of the net income of financial instruments. Impairment losses, reversal of impairment losses, disposal gains and disposal losses of loans & receivables (L&R) and of financial liabilities amortised at cost (FLaC) are carried in other income or other expenses.
Impairment losses, reversal of impairment losses, disposal gains and disposal losses of the financial instruments available for sale are carried in the net investment income if they are investments in subsidiaries or other investments, otherwise in net interest.
Derivative instruments are used exclusively to hedge existing risks resulting from changes in currency and interest rates. The use of derivative financial instruments in the group is subject to the appropriate approval and control procedures. The connection to a mainstay business is a must, trading is not permissible.
The STRABAG Group is subject to credit, market and liquidity risks related to its assets, liabilities and planned transactions. The goal of financial risk management is to minimise these risks through ongoing financially oriented activities.
The basics of the financial policy are set by the management board and monitored by the supervisory board. The implementation of the financial policy and responsibility for the risk management are the domain of the group treasury. Certain transactions require prior approval by the management board, which is regularly informed as to the scope and amount of the current risk exposure.
The financial instruments bear variable interest rates on the assets side, on the liabilities side there are both variable and fixed interest obligations. The risk of financial instruments bearing variable interest rates consists of increasing interest charges and sinking interest revenue resulting from an unfavourable change in market interest rates. Fixed interest obligations mainly result from the tranches of the bonds issued by STRABAG SE amounting to a total of € 425 million.
As of 31 December 2011, following hedging transactions existed:

| Total | 1,235,510 | 3.24 |
Had the interest rate level at 31 December 2011 been higher by 100 basispoints, then the result would have been higher by T€ 6,880 (previous year: T€ 10,961) and the equity at 31 December 2011 would have been higher by T€ 44,903 (previous year: T€ 48,227). Had the interest rate level been lower by 100 basispoints, this would have meant a correspondingly lower equity and profit before tax. The calculation is made based on the level of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities at 31 December. Tax effects from interest rate changes were not considered.
Due to the decentralised structure of the group, characterised by local companies in the respective countries, mainly closed currency positions appear in the balance sheet. Loan financing and investments were predominantly made by the group companies in the respective country's local currency. Receivables and liabilities from business activities mainly offset each other in the same currency.
The remaining currency risk mainly results when the currency of the order deviates from the functional currency of the subsidiary.
This involves in particular orders in Eastern Europe and the CIS states which are concluded in EUR. The planned proceeds are received in the currency of the order while a substantial part of the associated costs are made in the local currency.
In order to limit the remaining currency risk and secure the calculation, derivative financial instruments, above all forward exchange operations, were transacted. As of 31 December 2011, the following hedging transactions existed for the underlying transactions mentioned below:
| Currency | Expected cash-flows 2012 T€ |

Of the derivative financial instruments classified as cash-flow hedges as of 31 December 2010, T€ -12,041 were shifted from equity and recognised in the consolidated income statement in the 2011 financial year (previous year: T€ -30,680). The resulting deferred tax income amounted to T€ 2,489 (previous year: tax income of T€ 7,670).
The other liabilities contain a foreign currency derivative in the amount of T€ 7,122 (previous year: T€ 28,521).
Development of the important currencies in the group:

Essentially, the Polish zloty, the Czech crown and the Hungarian forint are affected by revaluation (devaluation). A 10 % revaluation of the euro over all other currencies at 31 December 2011 would mean an increase in equity by T€ 12,266 (previous year: increase by T€ 9,136) and an increase in profit before tax T€ 12,266 (previous year: increase T€ 9,136). A devaluation compared to all other currencies would result in a corresponding decrease in equity (previous year: decrease) and a decrease of profit before tax.
The calculation is based on original and derivative foreign currency holdings in non-functional currency as of 31 December as well as underlying transactions for the next twelve months. The effect on tax resulting from changes in currency exchanges rates was not taken into consideration.
The maximum risk of default of the financial assets on the balance sheet date is T€ 4,425,721 (previous year: T€ 4,335,932) and corresponds to the book values presented in the balance sheet. Thereof T€ 2,703,820 (previous year: T€ 2,613,019) involve trade receivables. Receivables from construction contracts related to consortia involve ongoing construction projects and are therefore not yet payable for the most part. Of the remaining trade receivables in the amount of T€ 1,339,630 (previous year: T€ 1,329,336), less than 1 % are overdue and not impaired.
The risk for receivables from clients can be rated as low due to the wide dispersion, a constant creditworthiness check and the presence of the public sector as an important employer.
The risk of default for other primary financial instruments shown on the assets side can also be regarded as low, as the contract partners are mainly financial institutions with the highest level of creditworthiness and/or the risk of default has been significantly reduced as a result of assumed liabilities of third parties.
Furthermore, there is a derived credit risk arising from the financial guarantee contracts (guarantees issued) of T€ 45,541 (previous year: T€ 42,754).
Financial assets are impaired item by item if the book value of the financial assets is higher than the present value of the future cashflows. This can be triggered by financial difficulties, insolvency of the client, breach of contract or significant default of payment. The impairment is composed of many individual items of which none, seen alone, is significant. In addition to the estimation of the creditworthiness risk, the relevant country risk is also taken into consideration. Graduated valuation adjustments are formed according to risk groups to take into consideration general credit risks.
Liquidity for the STRABAG SE Group means not only solvency in the strict sense but also the availability of the necessary financial margin for mainstay business through sufficient aval lines.
To guarantee financial flexibility, liquidity reserves are kept in the form of cash and credit lines for cash and aval loans. The STRABAG SE Group keeps bilateral credit lines with banks and a syndicated aval credit line in the amount of € 2.0 billion. The overall line for cash and aval loan amounts to € 6.2 billion. The syndicated surety credit line contains covenants which were fulfilled at the balance sheet date.
The medium- and long-term liquidity needs have so far been covered by the issue of corporate bonds as well. From 2006 to 2008 respectivly 2010 every year a tranche of € 75 million respectively € 100 million each with a term to maturity of five years was issued. In May 2011, STRABAG issued a further bond in the amount of € 175 million with a term of seven years. The annual coupon interest of the bond amounts to 4.75 %. The corporate bond from the year 2006 in the amount of € 75 million was paid in June 2011. Depending on the market situation and the appropriate need, further bonds are planned.
The following payment obligations arise from the financial liabilities (interest payments based on interest rate as of 31 December and redemption) for the subsequent years:

The trade payables and the other liabilities (see item 22) essentially lead to cash outflows in line with the maturity at the amount of the book values.
The rules of IFRS 8 Operating Segments, apply to the segment reporting. IFRS 8 prescribes defining the segments and reporting the earnings on the basis of the internal reporting (Management Approach). Segment assets are not disclosed as these do not form part of the regular internal reporting.
Internal reporting at STRABAG is based on the dedicated management board functions Building Construction & Civil Engineering, Transportation Infrastructures, Special Divisions & Concessions and the Central Business Units, which represent the group's segments. The settlement between the single segments is made at arm's-length prices.
The segment reporting comprises the following business fields:
In the field of Building Construction, both classical building services as well as turnkey building projects are executed as part of the mainstay business. The range of construction services in this field includes housing; commercial and industrial facilities such as shopping centres, business parks, office buildings, hotels, airports and railway stations; public buildings such as hospitals, universities, schools and other public buildings; the production of prefabricated elements; and steel-girder and facade construction.
In particular medium-sized and large-scale projects – predominantly for private clients – form the core of the business activities. Regional organisational units work the respective local markets and are active as self-contained and independent profit centres.
Civil Engineering activities include the construction of bridges and power plants. Environmental engineering activities – including the construction of landfills, waste treatment plants, and waste water collection and treatment systems, as well as the regeneration of polluted soils and industrial sites – are handled by the Civil Engineering business field as well.
This business field covers mainly asphalt and concrete road construction in the group's relevant country markets. Other services encompassed by the Road Construction division include the remaining activities attributable to civil engineering, e.g. earthmoving, sewer engineering and pipeline construction, smaller and medium-sized engineering-related concrete structures, and paving. The Road Construction segment further comprises the construction of large-area works such as runways and taxiways, landing fields for airports, reloading and parking facilities, sport and recreation facilities and railway structures.
The production of asphalt, concrete and other construction materials, as well as bitumen trading, are important parts of the Road Construction segment as well. The construction materials business includes a dense network of asphalt and concrete mixing facilities, as well as excellent access to raw materials (in particular gravel pits and quarries).
Since 1 January 2011, the special foundation engineering and offshore wind activities, which had previously been grouped in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment, have been bundled in the Transportation Infrastructures segment. For the sake of comparison, the previous year's figures were adjusted to match the new structure.
Unlike is the case with projects handled by the Civil Engineering division, the services in this business field are carried out by smaller, local organisational units working a limited, regional market as independent profit centres.
This segment comprises tunnelling, project developments and other construction-related services such as property and facility management. The segment also includes the non-European operational project business of all divisions.
The range of Tunnelling services includes the construction of road and railway tunnels as well as underground galleries and chambers with various technology. Tunnelling work is done employing both cyclical and continuous driving. Projects around the world are managed and executed by central organisational units.
The concessions business field encompasses those project development contracts around the world which include all integrated services such as financing, operation, marketing and utilisation, as well as the usual construction services, within the framework of a value-added chain in an overall project. Services include infrastructure projects (e.g. traffic, energy), as well as building projects for office and commercial properties or hotels.
This segment comprises the central business units and central staff units, which handle services in the areas of accounting, group financing, technical development, machine management, quality management, logistics, legal affairs, contract management and more.

Income and expense in the internal reporting are essentially shown in accordance with IFRS. An exception is income taxes, including those applicable to deferred tax, which are not considered in the internal reporting.
The basis for the internal reporting is formed by all subsidiaries. In the IFRS financial statements, earnings from companies which were not fully consolidated or reported using the equity method are recognised in conformity with dividends, transfer of earnings and/or depreciation and amortisation. For this reason, the internal reporting does not conform 100 % with EBIT in regards to profit before tax in the consolidated financial statements in terms of the investment result.
Other minor differences result from the other consolidation entries.
Reconciliation of the internal reporting to IFRS Financial Statements is allocated as follows:

Presentation of revenue by region is done according to the company's registered place of business.
The core shareholders of STRABAG SE are the Haselsteiner-Group, as well as the Raiffeisen-Holding NÖ-Wien Group, the UNIQA Group and Rasperia Trading Limited, owned by Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska.
The core shareholder Rasperia Trading Limited holds one registered share. The company sold its previous interest of 25 % to the other core shareholders. On 30 November 2010, Rasperia bought back 17 % of the shares and the option to purchase the remaining 8 % was extended until July 2014. The syndicate agreement remains unchanged, with Rasperia remaining part of the syndicate.
Arm's-length finance and insurance transactions exist with the Raiffeisen Holding NÖ-Wien Group and the UNIQA Group.
The Basic Element Group, a group with numerous industrial holdings, among other things in the area of construction, raw materials and infrastructure, is owned by Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska. A cooperating agreement lays out the principles for joint operating cooperation in Russia and the CIS states between the STRABAG SE Group and the Basic Element Group.
Russian construction company Glavstroy Corporation, a member of the Basic Element Group, commissioned STRABAG to build the Olympic village in Sochi, Russia. The order includes the construction of residences and hotels ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics and has a value of about € 350 million. The contract was signed in 2010. The construction works began in 2011 and are scheduled for completion in 2013. An advance payment in the amount of € 75 million was received in 2011, for which the services have not yet been provided in their entirety.
To consolidate and expand the business in Russia, STRABAG made in 2010 an advance payment, secured by a bank guarantee, of € 70 million for a 26 % stake in the leading Russian road construction company Transstroy, part of the diversified industrial holding Basic Element. STRABAG will take the time for a thorough due diligence of Transstroy, which posted revenues of RUB 39 billion in 2009, before the parties agree on a transaction and on the final purchase price. The advance payment is reported under other financial assets.
IDAG Immobilienbeteiligung u. Development GmbH is entirely held by private foundations whose beneficiaries are the Haselsteiner Group and the Raiffeisen-Holding NÖ-Wien Group. It is the business purpose of IDAG Immobilienbeteiligung u. -Development GmbH to develop property and to participate in property projects.
STRABAG's office buildings in Vienna and Graz are held in the real estate portfolio of subsidiaries of IDAG Immobilienbeteiligung u. -Development GmbH. The buildings are let to and in part sublet by STRABAG SE at the usual market conditions. Rental costs arising from both buildings in the 2011 financial year amounted to T€ 7,512 (previous year: T€ 7,191). Other services in the amount of T€ 1,064 (previous year: T€ 1,317) were obtained from the IDAG Group.
Furthermore, revenues of about € 1.2 million (previous year: about € 2.2 million) were made with IDAG Immobilienbeteiligung u. –Development GmbH in the 2011 financial year. At the balance sheet date of 31 December 2011, the STRABAG SE Group had receivables from rental deposits amounting to around € 20.0 million (previous year: € 18.8 million) from IDAG Immobilienbeteiligung u. -Development GmbH.
In September 2003, Raiffeisen evolution project development GmbH, a joint project development company, was founded together with R.B.T. Beteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H, "URUBU" Holding GmbH (both Raiffeisen group) and UNIQA Beteiligungs-Holding GmbH.
Raiffeisen evolution project development GmbH bundles project developments in building construction activities of the shareholders (excluding Germany and Benelux). STRABAG SE is employed in the construction work on the basis of arm's-length contracts. In 2011 revenues of about € 42.3 million (previous year: € 21.5 million) were made.
The shareholders of the Raiffeisen evolution project development GmbH have basically agreed to proportionally accept any obligations arising from the project developments.
Lafarge Cement CE Holding bundles the cement activities of Lafarge, a market leader in construction materials manufacturing, and STRABAG in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The joint activities aim at maintaining a commensurate cement supply in the group's core countries. In 2011, STRABAG procured cement services worth about € 6 million from Lafarge. Per balance sheet date, there were liabilities to Lafarge Cement CE Holding GmbH in the amount of € 0.5 million.

Despite the strong presence in its home markets of Austria and Germany, STRABAG sees itself as a European company. The group has been active in Central and Eastern Europe for several decades in order to diversify the country risk and to profit from the market opportunities in the region. Business in these countries accounted for 30 % of the total group output volume last year as it did the year before. This gives STRABAG a unique position in comparison to the competition and makes it the market leader in the construction sector in Central and Eastern Europe.
STRABAG has for years pursued the strategy of expanding its market shares on the home and growth markets in order to achieve the necessary economies of scale to become a cost leader.
1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
Due to increasing insecurities on both the international markets and in the euro area, growth of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Europe was again less dynamic over the course of 2011. The overall growth rate for last year stood at 1.8 %. Given the economic cooling-off, Euroconstruct expects to see growth of just 0.8 % for the year 2012.
The European construction industry is still weakened by the dampened economic development and worsening debt crisis. The forecasts for the European construction sector remain less positive than for the economy as a whole. A renewed decline of construction output averaging 0.3 % is expected for 2012, with the development strongly marked by country-specific differences. The low point in the Nordic states was reached already in 2010, and in Central Europe, too, the construction industry is again showing stable growth. In contrast, Central and Eastern Europe does not appear to be returning onto a growth path. Slight growth of the overall European construction sector is expected in 2013 at the earliest. Construction industry growth will probably exceed GDP growth slightly in the years 2013 and 2014.
While civil engineering had served as the engine driving the European construction industry until 2010, future growth will primarily be supported by the fields of residential construction and building construction. The potential in civil engineering, meanwhile, will continue to be relatively low due to the strict budgeting within the public sector.
Residential construction was the only segment in Western Europe which grew in 2011, while the Central and Eastern European markets – despite originally positive forecasts – recorded a clear minus in this sector. The good development of the Polish market was also unable to compensate for this negative trend. Euroconstruct expects only a temporary weakness, however, and residential construction should begin growing once more in 2012 in Central and Eastern Europe as well.
Counter to the original forecasts, the upswing in building construction is being delayed due to the ongoing economic insecurities. Here Euroconstruct expects a return to positive growth rates for Europe as a whole in 2013 at the earliest. In 2011, building construction in Europe shrank by 1.4 %, with quite different developments in the individual countries. While the Nordic countries, Germany, Austria and Switzerland again achieved positive growth rates, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, with the exception of Poland, again registered drastic setbacks.
After years of growth leading up to 2010, civil engineering lost 3.3 % across Europe in 2011 in response to the austerity measures in the public sector. Significant declines were registered in Western Europe and in Central and Eastern Europe. Only the strong development in Poland could compensate for the weak performance by the remaining countries. Here, too, slight growth is not expected until 2013.
The economic upturn continued in 2011. Austria's economic output grew by 2.9 %, against a backdrop of rising exports, higher industrial production and growing investments. Due to increasing insecurities on both the international markets and in the euro area, however, this growth will again become less dynamic. Euroconstruct, for example, expects to see growth of just 0.8 % for the year 2012. An aggravation of the debt crisis in the euro area would lead to a further worsening of the growth rates.
Due to the positive economic development, the Austrian construction economy registered a slight plus of 0.7 % in 2011 after several downward years, supported above all by residential construction and building construction. For 2012, the experts at Euroconstruct again expect moderate growth of 0.7 %.
After two negative years, private residential construction grew once more, gaining 1.9 % in the period under report. Growth could be seen not only in the area of renovations, but also in new residential construction. With a significant delay, the field of building construction also recovered from the crisis of 2008/2009, again reaching a growth rate of 2.3 % in 2011. Investments were up in both the industrial sector as well

as for new office buildings. Due to the declining consumption, however, another negative trend was registered in the commercial sector over the course of the year. Against this background, and given a constant total construction output, Euroconstruct expects a significant weakening in residential construction and building construction. Growth in 2012 is not expected to exceed 0.8 % and 1.0 %, respectively.
Civil engineering slipped by 3.5 % in the year under report. However, the negative development relative to the previous year slowed considerably due to increasing public-sector investments in the country's infrastructure. For the coming years, a shift is expected from rail to road construction. After slight decline of 0.3 % in 2012, Euroconstruct expects further stagnation in this area in the years to come due to the strict budget situation.
STRABAG generated a total of 14 % of the group output volume in its home market of Austria in 2011 (2010: 15 %). Alongside Germany and Poland, Austria thus continues to be one of the group's top 3 markets. With a share of 6.6 %1), STRABAG also remains the market leader here. The output volume reached a total volume of € 1,984.57 million in 2011. The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed 49 % to the total, followed by Transportation Infrastructures with 39 % and the Special Divisions & Concessions segment with 9 %. The Transportation Infrastructures segment will probably continue to show weak development in the years to come, while for market reasons the business in Building Construction & Civil Engineering will focus on the greater Vienna area.
Despite the significantly reduced economic dynamism, Germany's GDP growth in 2011 reached another considerable level at 3.0 %. This development can again be attributed to the extensive export activities, which are based on the strong competitive position of German companies. Domestic demand also showed extremely positive development.
The debt crises in the US and in Europe, however, could have a negative impact on future economic output. At the same time, the German government adopted a course of restrictive austerity, against the background of which no further economic stimulus packages are planned. For 2012, Euroconstruct therefore expects significantly reduced GDP growth of 1 %. But due to the good underlying economic situation, the medium-term forecast remains positive despite numerous risk factors.
Germany's construction output grew by 3.7 %, in line with the positive economic development in the period under report. In the next few years, however, the growth will likely slow down once more. For 2012, Euroconstruct expects construction output growth of just 1.8 %.
In line with the economic development, commercial building construction gained 2.0 % in 2011. This sector should also profit from the unbroken strong domestic demand in the medium-term. Favourable financing conditions are having a positive impact on the construction of industrial buildings and on the commercial sector. Demand for office buildings is also continuing to show a positive development following a strong decline during the crisis.
Civil engineering registered the highest growth rate in 2011 at 4.1 %. While expenditures were cut in the transport sector, the energy sector continued to show positive development. Following Germany's decision to withdraw from nuclear power, the focus is in-creasingly on the promotion of renewable energy. Against a backdrop of tightening public-sector spending, however, growth in this sector will slow once more in the future.
With a market share of 1.9 %, STRABAG is market leader in the strongly fragmented German market. In all, STRABAG generated a construction output of € 5,608.91 million in Germany in 2011, accounting for a share of about 39 % of the total output. The Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the most (48 %) to the output in Germany, giving it a market share of 9.1 % in the country's road construction sector. Still, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment made the highest contribution to the extremely good results in the past financial year.
1) In the absence of current figures, the market shares stated in the entire country report refer to the year 2010 and to the total market, including all construction segments.
Poland's economy again registered significant growth in 2011. The GDP gained 4.0 % on the basis of strong growth in construction, production and retail, as well as the strengthened export activities. The strong domestic demand remained an important factor driving growth, manifested in a flurry of investment and rising consumption. The good economic situation also had a positive impact on the national budget, with another growth of the budget surplus relative to the previous year.
The tightened level of public-sector spending in the future, however, coupled with a lower volume of EU financing, will contribute to slower growth of the Polish economy. For 2012, Euroconstruct expects slightly reduced growth of 3.7 %.
With a plus of 12.9 %, the Polish construction output in 2011 reached the highest increase among the EU-27 states. The record result was made possible by the good economic situation, extensive public-sector spending and expenditures related to the UEFA European Football Championship. This development is temporary, however. Declining investments in the coming years will lead to extensive stagnation of construction output as early as 2013.
Building construction also profited from the public-sector investments, with growth of 3.6 % in 2011. Some 216 investment projects, financed up to 40 % from the EU structural funds, are to be realised ahead of the EURO 2012. Investments are being made in healthcare and education as well as in the construction of cultural institutions.
Due to the enormous investment activity ahead of the European Football Championship, civil engineering in Poland registered a record plus of 29.2 % in 2011. Most of the investments are going toward the upgrade of airport runways, waterways and roads. The high level of investment should continue until the middle of 2012. Civil engineering will then shrink again once the event is over, however.
STRABAG is the number 1 in the construction sector in Poland. The country contributed € 1,718.78 million, or 12 %, to the overall group output in 2011, making it the third-largest market for STRABAG. 79 % of the output came from the Transportation Infrastructures segment, which also contributed the largest percentage of the revenue by far. With 15 %, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment came in second place. STRABAG's share of the entire Polish construction market stood at 3.2 %, that of road construction at 12.3 %.
Although the forecasts for 2011 had originally been very positive, the Czech GDP only achieved growth of 2.1 %. The forecasts for the coming year are also proving to be extremely cautious, and Euroconstruct does not expect a return to strong economic growth until 2013. In the coming years, the growth will be supported above all by foreign trade. With this strong dependency on export nations, however, the Czech economy is extremely vulnerable to the individual country risk.
The overall improved economic output is not reflected in the Czech construction output, however, which shrank by a further 6.2 % in 2011. The continuing unstable political situation, higher value added tax and slow wage growth coupled with the higher rate of unemployment were largely responsible for this development. The country also saw renewed cuts to public-sector spending on transport and infrastructure. A recovery of the construction sector is therefore not expected until 2013 at the earliest.
Building construction in the Czech Republic was strongly affected by the recession and has been consistently developing backwards since 2007. A reversal of the trend is not expected until 2013 at the earliest. In 2011, this sector also slipped by 7.6 %, following a minus of 11.3 % the year before. Private Investments are continued to be impeded by the high interest rates charged by Czech banks, which did not pass on the central bank's lower rates to their customers. Against the backdrop of the current budget cuts, the public sector is also failing to deliver any growth impulses.
The noticeable negative trend in civil engineering starting in 2010 continued in 2011. The lack of an overarching strategy means that public investments are still being postponed, above all in infrastructure, so that a number of planned projects are not being realised and ongoing projects had to be suspended. This led to a 4.2 % decline in the field of civil engineering in 2011. A recovery is not expected until 2014.
STRABAG is the number 1 on the market in the Czech Republic. With an output volume of € 769.23 million, the group generated around 5 % of its overall output volume in this country in 2011. This makes the Czech Republic STRABAG's fourth-largest market. The market share amounts to 4.4 %, even reaching 11.9 % in road construction. 80 % of STRABAG's Czech construction output volume is generated by the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
Despite a significantly slower economic dynamism in Switzerland, the GDP achieved growth of 2.3 % in 2011. Against the background of the debt crisis in Europe and in the US and the ongoing anxiety on the financial markets, this development is quite satisfactory. Switzerland registered an increased influx of qualified workers due to the unfavourable economic conditions in the neighbouring countries, which above all helped to boost private consumption. While the strong currency guarantees a low level of inflation, it also represents a great risk for the export economy. For the coming years, therefore, Euroconstruct expects a weakening of the GDP growth.
In line with the positive economic development, the construction output in Switzerland also registered solid growth rates. The plus of 2.6 % in 2011 was largely due to the favourable development of private residential construction and building construction. As a strong growth driver, residential construction will also make for clear growth in the construction economy next year.
Following the stagnation of the past few years, building construction, which accounts for about 30 % of the overall construction output in Switzerland, again grew by 2.4 % in the year under report. More than half of the investments went to renovation activities. Following slowed growth in 2012, building construction should again achieve stronger growth starting in 2013.
Despite the positive economic environment, civil engineering registered a decline of 1.6 % in 2011. The high growth rates of the years 2008 and 2009 were supported by the extensive economic stimulus programmes which ran out already in 2010. Against this background, the experts at Euroconstruct expect only slight growth for the coming years.
The Swiss market contributed € 574.21 million or 4 % to the group's overall construction output volume in 2011. For organisational reasons, most of the activities in Switzerland are assigned to the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment regardless of the actual work performed.
Driven mainly by the high price of oil, economic output again reached growth of 4.2 % in 2011 after the Russian economy had already stabilised in 2010. This positive trend should continue as long as there is no intensification of the external risk factors – especially the budget problems in Europe and the US.
Following the stabilisation of the Russian construction sector the year before, satisfactory growth was again registered in 2011 – at 4.9 % surpassing even GDP growth. Against the background of extensive infrastructure investments, Euroconstruct expects a further acceleration of the construction output for the years to come.
The building construction market continued to recover, while residential construction is further marked by low demand as a result of the high market prices. International investors, in particular, restarted the activities they had suspended in 2008. Investments made mainly involved office buildings, hotels and shopping centres.
With growth of 11.6 %, the strongest growth by far was achieved in civil engineering. Investments in infrastructure represent an important focus of Russian budget policy and represent around 50 % of the overall construction output. Under the programme "Development of Transport System of Russia 2010–2015", some RUB 800 billion will be spent on the development and modernisation of Russia's rail, road, air and shipping

network until the year 2015. High investments are also planned in the federal "Clean Water" programme, which is focused on the development of water treatment facilities.
STRABAG generated an output volume of € 486.90 million in Russia and its neighbouring countries (RANC) in 2011. The contribution to the overall group output volume in the period under report amounted to 3 %. In the RANC region, STRABAG is active almost exclusively in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment (86 %).
Following the upturn of 2010, the Slovak economy grew by a further 3.3 % in 2011. By 2014, growth rates could even return to up to 3.9 %. An important factor remains foreign demand, while budget spending continued to stagnate and public-sector spending was down.
Despite the good development of the economy, the Slovak construction output again registered a significant minus of 5.5 % in 2011. The main reasons for this development were the absence of private and public-sector investments as well as the insecurity on the international markets. However, Euroconstruct expects a recovery already in 2012. While building construction had shown the best development in 2011, civil engineering should again grow considerably starting in 2012.
The building construction sector, which accounts for nearly half of the Slovak construction output, registered moderate growth of 1.9 % for the first time since the crisis of 2008/2009. Most of this was financed from private sources. A continual rise of the growth rates is expected for the coming years.
Due to the restrictive budget policy, civil engineering had to accept a renewed minus of 8 % in 2011. Starting in 2012, however, state spending for transport and infrastructure should increase again. The government will make efforts at securing more EU financing while also increasing its own budget for state spending.
With a market share of 7.9 % and an output volume of € 440.74 million in 2011, STRABAG is the market leader on the Slovak market. The share of the road construction market even amounts to 18.1 %. The largest contribution to output in 2011 was made by the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment with 56 %, followed by Transportation Infrastructures with 41 % and Special Divisions & Concessions with 2 %.
Hungary was more strongly affected by the global crisis of 2008/2009 than the other EU member states and the Hungarian government has still not managed to catch up. The economic output in 2011 reached only moderate growth of 1.6 %. No measures to stimulate the domestic demand were adopted by the government in the period under report. The positive development of Hungarian export activity was the only factor stabilising the economic output. But this sector – which has been very stable and is largely dependent on Germany – is strongly affected by the uncertain economic situation of the export countries. For this reason, Euroconstruct again expects no more than moderate growth of 1.5 % for 2012. Significant increases will not be achieved until the following years.
Despite originally positive forecasts for 2011, the construction output continued to decline with a minus of 10.8 %. Supported by the positive development of residential construction in the future, Euroconstruct expects renewed growth of construction output in 2013.
With a decline of 9.7 %, the Hungarian building construction sector continued to suffer under the low level of foreign investments in 2011. Real estate projects were not continued, and corporate bonds have seen a dramatic decline since mid-2008. Local governments stopped public-sector projects. Low growth will not be possible until 2014 due to the availability of EU financing.
With a minus of 11.7 %, civil engineering shrank even more strongly than the year before. Given the budget restrictions, the start of civil engineering projects remains uncertain due to the lack of financing plans. The future development thus depends strongly on the federal infrastructure plan. The experts at Euroconstruct do not expect a return to moderate growth until 2014.
With an output volume of € 436.08 million in 2011, STRABAG is the leading provider on the Hungarian construction market. The share of the overall market reached 6.4 %, in road construction STRABAG even generated 15.4 % of the total construction output. The Transportation Infrastructures segment accounted for the greatest proportion of the output at 56 %. The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment and the Special Divisions & Concessions segments generated about 36 % and 8 % of the output, respectively.
Scandinavia's economic output exhibited enormous differences from country to country in 2011. With GDP growth of 4.3 %, Sweden had the strongest growth rate by far, while Norway and Denmark remained significantly below this level with 1.6 % and 0.5 %, respectively. The economic output should slowly increase in 2012. The construction output, on the other hand, grew more or less evenly in all markets with an average of 4.4 %. While building construction grew the strongest in Sweden, residential construction achieved the highest increases in the other countries. In 2012, the construction output should grow even more strongly in Denmark and Norway.
STRABAG's output in Scandinavia reached € 512.41 million in 2011. The Transportation Infrastructures segment made the strongest contribution at 87 %. Infrastructure projects are among the main activities. For organisational reasons, however, projects in Scandinavia – regardless of their nature – are assigned to the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
The Benelux countries are continuing to register positive growth rates. The GDP in Belgium grew by 2.4 % last year, while GDP growth in the Netherlands reached 1.5 %. Against the background of Europe-wide austerity plans, however, Euroconstruct also expects to see a significant slowdown of economic growth in the Benelux countries in 2012.
Significantly more positive than the overall economy was the growth of the construction output in Belgium and the Netherlands with an average plus of 3.8 %. While all sectors of the construction industry gained evenly in the Netherlands, growth in Belgium was mainly supported by civil engineering. Euroconstruct expects the construction output to continue to grow more strongly than the economic output in the years to come.
STRABAG achieved an output of € 359.95 million in the Benelux countries in 2011. The company is most strongly represented in Benelux in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment.
The Italian economy currently is in a difficult crisis marked by a high level of debt, an enormous insolvency risk and financial turbulence. Against this background, the GDP achieved only slight growth of 0.6 % in 2011. The economic output is expected to stagnate in the years to come.
The construction output also continued its negative trend, shrinking by a further 3.1 % in 2011. In all, the market as a whole has lost about 20 % since 2006, with declines in new construction reaching as much as 40 %. Civil engineering has lost about one third of its volume since 2005. Given the continuation of the debt crisis, Euroconstruct does not expect slight growth until the year 2013.
STRABAG's output in Italy amounted to € 186.45 million in 2011. In Italy, STRABAG is mainly active in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment, which contributed 95 % to the overall group output in this market. For this reason, all other projects in Italy are also recorded in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment.
In addition to its main markets in Europe, the STRABAG Group is also active in individual non-European regions in Asia, Canada, Africa and the Middle East. STRABAG increased its presence in the non-European markets in order to become more independent from the economic conditions among the previous growth markets. In all, the group generated € 737.66 million in these regions in 2011, which corresponds to 5 % of the overall group output volume.
In the non-European markets, STRABAG is usually active as a general contractor through direct export. The focus in these regions is on civil engineering, industrial and infrastructure projects and tunnelling – areas in which high technological expertise is required.
The most important projects include the construction of the Rohtang Pass highway tunnel at 3,980 m above sea level in the western Himalaya region in India as well as the upgrade of roads and infrastructure within the Duqm port facility in Oman. STRABAG's activities in non-European countries in all areas of business are mostly included – with a few small exceptions – in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment.
After two years of recession, the economic output in Romania grew by 1.5 % in 2011. The country's growth should become increasingly dynamic in the years to come.
Despite the positive economic output, Romania's overall construction output fell by a further 1.6 % in 2011. While the sector's residential construction and civil engineering shrank by 5.5 % and 1.1 %, respectively, building construction recovered and grew by 1.4 % – a trend that is expected to continue in the coming years. Against the background of extensive efforts to secure sources of financing for the still underdeveloped transport sector, Euroconstruct expects to see a continuous recovery of growth rates in civil engineering as well.
STRABAG took third place on the Romanian construction market in 2011, with construction output of € 205.87 million. At 54 %, the Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the highest proportion to the group output volume in Romania.
While the other countries in the region have already recovered from the financial crisis, Croatia continues to register weak economic output. After two negative years, GDP growth of 1.3 % is expected for 2011, although this value is significantly below the comparison values for other countries in the region. For the coming years, Euroconstruct continues to expect only moderate growth in Croatia.
As the Croatian construction sector is recovering even more slowly than the economy as a whole, the construction output registered a minus of 11.3 % in 2011. Financing problems for ongoing and future projects led to many construction projects being suspended or postponed. Especially affected was the residential construction sector; building construction began to show more dynamism in 2011 due to the activities in the tourism sector.
Despite extensive financing options for civil engineering projects, this sector continues to suffer from the economic and financial crisis, registering a minus of 14.6 % in 2011. A slight recovery and the first positive growth rates are not expected until 2013. Especially the railway sector is expected to function as a growth driver due to its great importance for the country's infrastructure.
In 2011, STRABAG achieved an output volume of € 106.35 million in Croatia. The highest proportion was generated in the Transportation Infrastructures segment, with 52 %, followed by Building Construction & Civil Engineering with 44 %.
With an economic growth of 2.2 % last year, Serbia is in a transitional phase to a sustained economic upturn. The country's extensive structural reforms and its favourable geographic location give the Serbian market a high degree of growth potential.
Thanks to the financing of construction projects by the IMF and the EBRD, the construction output in Serbia grew by 12.3 % in 2011. This strong growth benefited all sectors of the construction industry. While building construction returned to growth of 3.1 % in 2011 after two negative years, gains in residential construction even reached 7.9 % in response to extensive state measures. Due to an enormous amount of investment in the country's infrastructure, civil engineering registered the strongest growth (18.8 %) in the period under report. Due to further financing promises from the IMF and the EBRD for 2012, Euroconstruct expects Serbia's overall construction output to grow by 12.1 %. The following years, however, will again be characterised by strong uncertainties.
STRABAG's output volume in Serbia reached € 87.29 million in 2011. With 55 %, the Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the greatest amount.
Slovenia traditionally is one of the fastest growing markets in the Central and Eastern European region. Recently, however, the Slovenian economy has suffered from the turbulence on the international financial markets, with GDP growth of just 1.5 % in 2011. But Euroconstruct expects more significant growth of economic output in the years to come.
In 2009, the combination of weak domestic demand and the general economic crisis had led to a drastic setback of the construction economy and a reduction of production capacities, all of which continues to prevent a return to pre-crisis levels. The Slovenian construction output in 2011 shrank by another 23.8 % in 2011. The completion of the Slovenian motorway also resulted in lower infrastructure spending.
In 2011, STRABAG achieved an output volume of € 48.52 million in Slovenia. With 56 %, the company generated the highest percentage in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment.
With growth of 2.3 %, the Bulgarian economy remained slightly below the expectation of the experts in 2011. Growth was mainly supported by exports, while private consumption was below the level of the previous year. Economic growth should pick up significantly in the years to come, however.
The positive economic development is only slowly being reflected in the construction economy. After three negative years in a row, the construction output will return to growth in 2012. Residential construction and building construction will continue to shrink in the years to come, but civil engineering should compensate these declines through its strong reliance on EU financing. The focus will continue to be on upgrading and modernising the transport infrastructure, although subsidies will also lead to an increased realisation of environmental projects.
STRABAG generated € 18.40 million on the Bulgarian market in 2011. With 52 %, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed the highest percentage to STRABAG's total output volume in Bulgaria.

1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The order backlog stood at € 13.4 billion, 9 % below the level at the end of 2010. For the most part, this is due to the development in Poland as the preparations for the 2012 European Football Championship had triggered large infrastructure investments from the public sector. As market leader, STRABAG was awarded several of the resulting contracts and worked these off in the 2011 financial year. This transformed an order backlog of about € 1.4 billion into output, so that the order backlog in Poland alone sank from € 2.3 billion to around € 900 million. Also, we are no longer reporting the projects in Libya in the order books due to the political situation in the country since the beginning of 2011.
The overall order backlog is comprised of 17,760 individual projects. Of this amount, nearly 17,500 are small projects with a volume of up to € 15 million each. They account for 36 % of the order backlog; a further 18 % are medium-sized projects with order volumes between € 15 million and € 50 million; 46 % are large projects of € 50 million or more. The high number of individual contracts guarantees that the risk involved with one project does not threaten the group success as a whole. The ten largest projects in the order backlog on 31 December 2011 added up to 19 % of the order backlog, compared to 24 % at the end of 2010.

In the 2011 financial year, 47 companies (thereof 14 mergers with fully consolidated companies) were included in the scope of consolidation for the first time. These companies contributed a total of € 503.45 million to the consolidated revenue and € -22.34 million to the net income after minorities. As a result of first-time inclusions, current and non-current assets increased by € 325.42 million, current and non-current liabilities by € 190.65 million.
STRABAG SE generated an output volume of € 14.3 billion in the 2011 financial year. The company had expected an increase from € 12.8 billion to € 14.0 billion and surpassed its own forecast with an actual plus of 12 %. The growth is due to the strong demand in the German building construction and civil engineering segment, the booming Polish construction sector above all in the field of transportation infrastructures and the expansion in northern Europe. Additionally, STRABAG acquired two construction SMEs in Switzerland in the first quarter of 2011, which had a positive effect on the development of the output volume.
The consolidated group revenue for the 2011 financial year stood at € 13,713.80 million, which – similar to the development of the output volume – corresponds to an increase of 11 %. As in previous years, the ratio of revenue to construction output volume remained very high at 96 % (2010: 97 %). The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed 36 %, Transportation Infrastructures 45 % and Special Divisions & Concessions 18 % to the revenue. In comparison to the previous year, this represents a slight shift in favour of Building Construction & Civil Engineering.
The changes in inventories were significantly higher due to the intensification of the business with group-developed real estate projects, while the amount of own work capitalised dropped by about half following completion of construction of the proprietary cement factory in Hungary.
With the higher revenue, the raw materials, consumables and services used, as well as the employee benefits expense, grew by 13 % to € 9,320.12 million and by 7 % to € 3,004.46 million, respectively. The ratio of these two items versus revenue grew slightly as a result from 89 % in 2010 to 90 % in 2011.
The other operating expenses fell slightly by 2 %, but remained above the € 1 billion mark. At the same time, the other operating income fell by 3 %, due in part to the reduced sales of property, plant and equipment. This item also includes income from the fully consolidated concession companies.

At € -34.54 million, the share of profit or loss of associates turned from positive back into negative territory in the 2011 financial year – the previous year's figure had contained a measurement made directly in profit or loss in the amount of € 24.60 million following the increase in interest in railway construction subsidiary Viamont DSP a.s. The negative share of profit or loss of associates in the 2011 financial year is largely due to an extraordinary write-down in the mid-double-digit millions related to an interest in cement activities.
The net income from investments, at € 3.59 million, was significantly lower than the year before and is made up of dividend payments and expenses, respectively, from many smaller companies as well as financial investments. Given the combination of higher revenue and higher costs, it follows that the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 2 % to € 746.33 million resulting in a decrease of the EBITDA margin from 5.9 % to 5.4 %.
The depreciation and amortisation fell by 6 % to € 411.55 million. The previous year's € 435.74 million still included a one-time impairment of goodwill in the amount of € 14.00 million related to the transaction with Viamont DSP a.s. as well as various other goodwill impairments totalling around € 36 million. The latter fell to about € 16 million in 2011.
Although the Viamont transaction had a positive effect of € 10.60 million in the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the year before, this figure registered a plus of 12 % to € 334.78 million in the 2011 financial year. This resulted in an unchanged EBIT margin of 2.4 %. Due to positive exchange rate differences in the amount of € 37.27 million, the net interest income improved despite the higher interest expense from € -19.68 million to € 8.54 million. The previous year's net interest income had included € 6.4 million in exchange rate losses.
As a result, the profit before tax grew by 23 % to € 343.33 million. STRABAG considers an average tax rate of 30 % to be realistic. The actual rate of 30.3 % in 2011 confirmed this expectation. This led to a net income of € 239.29 million and a plus of 27 % over the previous year.
The earnings owed to the other shareholders (minority interest) climbed from € 13.52 million to € 44.30 million in the year under report. This is due in part to the fact that the losses from the activities in Libya in the previous year had been partially borne by minority shareholders. The net income after minorities for 2011 therefore stood at € 194.99 million, 12 % above the level from the year before. The number of weighted outstanding shares fell from 114,000,000 to 111,424,186 as a result of the buyback of own shares, so that the earnings per share grew by 14 % to € 1.75.

STRABAG SE's balance sheet total remained more or less unchanged at € 10.4 billion, due in large part to the reclassification of the proprietary cement plant in Hungary, completed in 2011, from "assets held for sale" to "investments in associates" as the plant was merged into a joint venture with Lafarge of which STRABAG SE holds 30 %. This led to an increase in non-current assets to the detriment of current assets.
The inventories grew in view of new proprietary project developments. The current receivables from concession arrangements also grew significantly: these include a public-private partnership project in Denmark for which the services were pre-financed, which also found expression in the higher current financial liabilities. Overall, however, the current assets fell not least because of the reduced cash and cash equivalents owing to the share buyback programme.

| Capital employed € mln. | 5,336 | 5,236 |
The equity ratio fell slightly from 31.1 % to 30.3 % as a result of the share buyback programme, which led to reduced retained earnings in the same amount as the costs of acquisition of the own shares. The management board considers an equity ratio between 20 % and 25 % to be a realistic target in the medium-term.
As in the years before, STRABAG ended the year with a net cash position. This was counter to expectations. Reaching € 267.81 million, however, this figure was down 60 % in a year-on-year comparison. The net cash position does not include € 754.18 million in non-recourse financial liabilities related to the AKA and Kliplev Motorway Denmark concession companies. The interest expense of these non-recourse finance liabilities, as well as the interest income from receivables from concession arrangements, is presented in other operating income.

The cash-flow from operating activities fell in the past financial year by 27 % to € 501.15 million despite a simultaneous 35 % increase of the cash-flow from profits. In addition to the reduction of prepayments in Poland, this is due to the expansion of the business – as evidenced by the higher revenue – which, as expected, was manifested in a build-up of working capital.
The cash-flow from investing activities increased by 18 % to € -616.07 million. The company spent around 14 % less on the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets than the year before. However, this item includes several acquisitions of construction and raw material SMEs in Switzerland and Germany recorded under "changes in consolidation" as well as the co-payment of € 77.5 million for a stake in the joint venture with Lafarge in "purchase of financial assets".
The cash-flow from financing activities stood at € -81.71 million after € -20.00 million the year before. On the one hand, STRABAG issued a € 175 million bond in 2011 (while paying back a € 75 million bond), compared to a positive net effect of just € 25.00 million from the bond programme in 2010. On the other hand, the acquisition of own shares cost the company € 185.23 million by the end of the year.
STRABAG had forecast capital expenditures (CAPEX) in the amount of approximately € 580 million for the 2011 financial year. In the end, the gross capital expenditures totalled € 752.24 million. This figure includes expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment, the purchase of financial assets – such as the investment in the joint cement venture with Lafarge – and enterprise acquisitions (changes to the scope of consolidation, e.g. the acquisitions of Brunner Erben Holding AG and Astrada AG, Switzerland, as well as of Gaul GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). As a result, the capital expenditures far exceeded the budget – despite the savings in expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment.
These fell by 14 % to € 477.15 million. About € 200 million is spent annually as maintenance expenditures related to the equipment fleet in order to prevent inventory obsolescence. The high proportion of expansion expenditures is due to STRABAG's focus of its capital expenditures: in the 2011 financial year, the focus was especially on the niche business fields and on the large Koralm Tunnel project in Styria, Austria. The significant increase in demand in Poland and in Germany led to the purchase of equipment in these countries being registered to a large degree as expansion expenditures.
Expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment during the year under report must be seen against amortisation on intangible assets and depreciation on property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 411.55 million. This figure, however, also includes goodwill impairment in the amount of € 16.15 million.
The number one objective for the treasury management of STRABAG SE is assuring the continued existence of the company through the maintenance of constant solvency. This objective is to be reached through the provision of sufficient short-term, medium-term and long-term liquidity.
Liquidity for STRABAG SE means not only solvency in the strict sense but also the availability of guarantees. The building activity requires the constant availability of bid, contract fulfilment, pre-payment and warranty guarantees and/or sureties. The financial scope of action is thus defined on the one hand by sufficient cash and cash credit lines, on the other hand by sufficient surety credit lines.
The management of liquidity risks has become a central element of the corporate management at STRABAG. In practice, liquidity risks come in various forms:
In the past, STRABAG has always oriented its financing decisions according to the risk aspects outlined above and has organised the maturity structure of the financial liabilities in such a way as to avoid a refinancing risk. In this way, the company has been able to maintain a great scope for action, which is of particular importance in a difficult market environment.
The necessary liquidity is determined by liquidity planning. Based on this, liquidity assurance measures are made and a liquidity reserve is defined for the entire group.
STRABAG SE has a total credit line for cash and surety loans in the amount of € 6.2 billion. The credit lines include a syndicated surety credit line in the amount of € 2.0 billion with a maturity until 2015. A high degree of diversification creates an adequate risk spread in the provision of the credit lines.
The medium- and long-term liquidity needs have so far also been covered by the issue of corporate bonds. STRABAG SE has regularly issued bonds on the Austrian market since 2004. Due to the market conditions, STRABAG opted against issuing a new bond in the 2009 financial year. In the 2011 financial year, STRABAG successfully issued a € 175 million tranche and, due to the favourable market environment, for the first time chose a term to maturity of seven instead of five years. The proceeds from the issue were used for general business purposes and to pay back a bond which matured in 2011. At present, this leaves four bonds with a total volume of € 425 million on the market.
The existing liquidity of € 1.7 billion and cash credit lines of € 0.4 billion assure the group's liquidity needs. Nevertheless, further bond issues are planned, depending on the market situation, in order to maintain a high level of liquidity reserves in the future as well.
In December 2011, S&P again confirmed its BBB- rating and stable outlook as STRABAG SE benefits from its solid capital structure and strong liquidity situation, its good access to raw materials and its leading market position in the otherwise cyclical, highly competitive and low-margin construction sector.

The operating business of STRABAG SE is divided into three segments: Building Construction & Civil Engineering, Transportation Infrastructures and Special Divisions & Concessions. A further segment defined as "Other" encompasses expenditures, income and employees at the group's service companies and staff units.
Construction projects are assigned to one of the segments (see chart below). Certainly, projects may also be assigned to more than one segment. This is the case, for example, with PPP projects in which the construction part is assigned to its respective segment, but the concession part is assigned to the concessions unit of Special Divisions & Concessions. In projects which span more than one segment, the commercial and technical responsibility is generally assigned to that segment which has the higher share of the overall project value.
Vienna central Station, austria
The building construction half of the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment includes the construction of commercial and industrial properties, airports, hotels, hospitals, office and administration buildings, residential real estate and the production of prefabricated elements. The field of civil engineering comprises complex infrastructure solutions, power plant construction, large-scale bridge building and environmental technology projects.

The output volume generated in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment in the 2011 financial year increased by 20 % to € 5,142.16 million. As a result, STRABAG clearly exceeded its own forecast. It must be mentioned, however, that unfavourable weather conditions in the spring of the previous year had led to an unusually reduced output volume in 2010. Especially worth noting is the growth in the home market of Germany and in the RANC region (Russia and neighbouring countries). Higher output volume was registered in Switzerland due to the acquisitions of two construction SMEs, Brunner Erben Holding AG and Astrada AG, in the first quarter of 2011. A declining trend was seen only in Hungary.
The revenue grew in tandem with the output volume at a double-digit percentage rate to € 4,968.21 million. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 16 % to € 179.09 million in large part due to the good business in the German market.
1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The order backlog grew slightly by 2 % to € 5,800.06 million. This figure is influenced by the development in four markets in particular. On the one hand, there is the satisfactory high demand for building construction in Germany and Romania. Companies of the STRABAG Group were commissioned for the construction of the TaunusTurm and the Poseidon House office complex in Frankfurt, Germany, and of the Promenada Mall shopping centre and Sky Tower of the Floreasca City Center in Bucharest, Romania – the last two for project developer Raiffeisen evolution. On the other hand, several large projects were completed in Poland and in the RANC region. In these markets, follow-up contracts of the same order and magnitude were not generated in the year under report.
The workforce grew by more than 2,000 persons, or 11 %, to 20,276 employees. The number includes the growth resulting from the Swiss acquisitions, which contributed over 1,100 employees to the overall personnel figures. While the output situation in Germany required an expansion of the workforce there, human resources were reduced as planned in the weak markets of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Given the positive order situation in Germany and Austria, STRABAG expects further significant output growth in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment from about € 5.1 billion in 2011 to € 5.5 billion in 2012. This forecast is supported by the high order backlog in the home markets and several promising tenders in northern Europe. Further contributions to the output volume will come from the group's entrance into the timber engineering business with the acquisition of Paul Stephan GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, the strengthening of the steel construction business with the acquisition of NE Sander Group, Germany, and the acquisition of Wolfer & Goebel Bau GmbH, Germany.
STRABAG expects the development of results in the segment to remain steady. Stabilising factors are the combination of high demand with stable material and subcontractor prices in Germany as well as a slight yet noticeable improvement of the climate in the Czech Republic. The price pressure in Switzerland remains high and the Hungarian construction sector weak, despite expectations of stimulus measures – in particular from environmental protection projects. The field of environmental technology also holds the promise of opportunities in Romania. In Poland, STRABAG expects a significantly lower output volume due to the completion of large projects from 2012. Given the situation in Moscow, building construction in Russia remains also restrained. The market for infrastructure projects, by comparison, is showing very dynamic development due to the expectation of impulses from the 2018 FIFA World Cup. STRABAG is also working the Russian neighbouring states – Azerbaijan and since recently also Kazakhstan and again Ukraine. For this reason, it should be possible to increase the output in the RANC region in 2012 from about € 490 million to € 650 million despite the reserved demand in Moscow.

The output generated in your segment in 2011 increased by 20 %. What is your evaluation of the past year?
We were still able to make a noteworthy contribution to net income in 2011. Given the macroeconomic environment that we are faced with, I consider this to be a satisfactory outcome.
While our clients in building construction are above all private investors, in civil engineering they are mainly public sector institutions. Of course, we are noticing a certain level of restraint in those places where the public sector is our client – particularly in Hungary, the Czech
Thomas Birtel Member of the Management Board, STRABAG SE, Building Construction & Civil Engineering
Republic and Slovakia. Still, there are markets in which the situation remains positive. As an exam-ple, I would like to mention the greater Vienna area; or parts of Germany, in particular the much-debated Stuttgart 21 project. These two examples show that despite the austerity measures there still are some noteworthy investment projects in the field of civil engineering.
The order situation in building construction is shaped by private investors. On the lookout for a worthwhile investment in the current situation, these investors often take refuge in "concrete gold". This is another reason why the building construction market in Germany has been at its most expansive in a long time. But in our segment, too, there are regional markets which are currently devastated. Here I would like to again mention Hungary, where due to the political environment the private investors are also not being very active.
Sustainability is a very big topic, and it is becoming clear that BlueBuilding or GreenBuilding certification will have an enormously growing importance in the future. The market will orient itself even more strongly toward attaining international certifications for buildings which document their sustainability. In this movement, we are a pioneer. Our central technical division Zentrale Technik has been driving this trend for years and works together with the relevant certification bodies.
We have been building our own buildings in accordance with these requiremants for years. One example is our subsidiary Ed. Züblin AG's Z-zwo building in Stuttgart, which was awarded silver certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). I am convinced that for external clients the issue of sustainability will play an increasingly important role too.
As economist John Maynard Keynes once said: "The future is uncertain." These days, that's especially true. Since the order backlog in Building Construction & Civil Engineering is relatively farreaching, however, the visibility is greater than in other segments. We believe that we will be able to position ourselves on the market with a thoroughly stable output in the new financial year and that the results won't stand out negatively relative to the previous year. We expect to make another positive, stable contribution to the net income after minorities in 2012.
The Transportation Infrastructures segment covers asphalt and concrete road construction as well as any remaining construction activities associated with road construction, such as earth-moving, canalisation, railway construction, waterway construction, dyking, paving, the construction of sport and recreational facilities, specialty foundation engineering, safety and protective structures and the building of small bridges. The segment also includes the production of construction materials such as asphalt, concrete and aggregates.

The Transportation Infrastructures segment achieved output growth of 12 % to € 6,701.20 million in the 2011 financial year. This can be attributed on the one hand to a milder and shorter winter in 2010/2011 compared to the same period the year before, resulting in a significant increase in the home market of Germany. On the other hand, the construction boom in Poland and the expansion in Scandinavia also had a beneficial effect. In comparison, the business in Hungary and the Czech Republic showed a negative trend.
Despite revenue growth of 6 % to € 6,211.24 million, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), at € 60.52 million, were down significantly relative to the previous year's € 178.89 million. This is due among other things to the price competition in Central and Eastern Europe as a result of the lack of infrastructure investments, which required STRABAG to respond with structural adaptations, as well as to a loss-making project in Denmark. Constant low demand in the construction materials sector has also been a burden.
What regional impact is there from the current economic situation and the resulting austerity programmes in the Transportation Infrastructures segment?
The Transportation Infrastructures segment has benefited greatly from the public-sector economic stimulus programmes in recent years. Not only were we able to maintain the output volume; last year, we could even raise it. The announced austerity packages will have a different impact on the construction economy and our business from country to country. Public-sector spending will decline in Germany and Austria and has already fallen to an extremely low level in the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Adriatic region. In contrast, there can be no talk of a construction crisis in Scandinavia. The region has large infrastructure expansion plans, e.g. in the greater Stockholm area. The Swedish state railways are also investing in the expansion and upgrade of their overland routes.
Fritz Oberlerchner Member of the Management Board, STRABAG SE, Transportation Infrastructures
We are focused on the field of road maintenance and repair and on the relevant niche business fields. Also interesting for us are public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The largest contract in the history of the STRABAG Group was a PPP project: a more than 100 km long section of the A2 motorway in Poland which we built over a period of two-and-a-half years and opened for traffic in November 2011. We generated the construction output to a maximum degree with our own resources.
The 2012 European Football Championship in Poland and Ukraine unleashed an enormous temporary boom in the construction sector. The interregional road network is being rapidly upgraded with EU co-financing. This boom will end abruptly when the games start in June 2012, and expenditures for transportation projects will settle back to the level before 2010. I expect that construction capacities and construction demand in Poland will again balance out in 2015 at the earliest.
We are regionally and professionally well-positioned: in Transportation Infrastructures, we are well-diversified and can increase our focus on the maintenance business if investments in new construction decrease. The substance of the existing transportation infrastructures must be maintained – and we can offer the full range of services here. In the long-term, the investments made in recent years to develop the segment from road construction to transportation infrastructures will pay off. In the short-term, however, it is only natural that the lower use of our existing capacities and of the production companies in the construction materials sector will affect profitability.
The order backlog on 31 December 2011 stood at € 3,943.47 million, about one fifth below the level at the end of 2010. The reason for this is the above-average volume of new orders in Poland in the previous year – these could not be repeated despite new projects such as the construction of the A4 motorway between Brzesko and Wierzchoslawice or a section of the S3 expressway – and has now fallen back to a usual level. Additionally, the order backlog in the Czech Republic and Germany is at a low level due to cyclical factors in the construction economy.
In contrast, the order backlog in Scandinavia grew to the second-highest volume in the Transportation Infrastructures segment by region. In Sweden and Finland, the STRABAG Group was awarded three new infrastructure contracts at the middle of the year. The company is also involved in consortiums building road tunnels and quay facilities for the Nordhavn port in Copenhagen, Denmark. Compared to the average transportation infrastructures contract, which lasts only several months, this project involves large long-term orders. Contributing to the unusually high order backlog in Scandinavia is the fact that, in Sweden, STRABAG is also active in building construction (through the acquisition in May 2011 of the construction group NIMAB) and project development (via STRABAG Projektutveckling). Due to organisational reasons these activities are placed in the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
The order backlog also developed satisfactorily in Romania. Here STRABAG emerged as the winning bidder in a number of large projects last year, including the tender for the rehabilitation and upgrade of national roads DN14 and 15a as well as the construction of the A1 motorway section between Deva and Orăştie. The Romanian transport ministry is currently giving priority to the expansion and upgrade of the motorway and rail infrastructure, which will help boost output in 2012.
Due to the high volume of construction activity in Poland, as well as the increased activities in Scandinavia, the number of employees in the Transportation Infrastructures segment rose by 2 % to 31,609. This growth was once more countered by declines in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
While double-digit output growth could still be registered in 2011, the Transportation Infrastructures segment faces an inhospitable environment in Europe, which is why STRABAG expects to see a decline in output and a continued weak result in this segment in 2012. Specifically, the company expects the output to fall from € 6.7 billion to € 6.1 billion.
The special challenge in the largely stable home market of Germany in the coming year will be to hold our own in the recruiting of qualified specialists. Their task will be to win and efficiently process contracts from private and institutional clients against the background of growing competitive pressure, falling returns and empty local government coffers.
Beginning with Germany, STRABAG is pursuing the group strategy of intensifying its activities in niche markets. STRABAG SE increased its stake in the German hydraulic engineering company Josef Möbius Bau AG from 70 % to 100 % and acquired Cuxhaven-based civil hydraulic engineering firm Ludwig Voss. The hydraulic engineering specialists are increasingly landing international projects abroad. Not only this niche, but also that of railway construction, offers considerations to invest in large equipment and machinery for use in the numerous markets of STRABAG. Here, the market in Germany remains weak in terms of volume and price quality. Due to the continuing below-capacity use of large equipment and machinery, there is significant room for improvement of results. In order to work efficiently and to achieve an optimal use of capacities, the strategy of internationalisation is being pursued consistently in this field. The aim is to obtain authorisation for the special equipment fleet in several EU member states in 2012.
An aggressive price battle is to be expected in Poland: STRABAG believes that by the year 2014 the market volume in Poland will successively decrease to the original level before the construction boom. This conclusion seems reasonable given the shrinking budgets for large public-sector construction tenders from 2011 to 2012.
No improvement of the situation of the Hungarian construction industry, the low-price market of Bulgaria or the low price level in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, all of which have been mired in crisis since 2007, is expected for now. Weak development is also expected in the construction materials business – above all with regard to cement and asphalt – with higher prices not in sight.

The Special Divisions & Concessions segment includes, on the one hand, the field of tunnelling. The concessions business, on the other hand, also represents a further important area of business, with global project development activities in transportation infrastructures in particular. The real estate business, which stretches from project development and planning to construction and operation and also includes the property and facility services business, completes the wide range of services of the segment and of the group. Finally, STRABAG bundles its services in non-European markets in this segment.

The output volume in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment remained nearly stable in the 2011 financial year at € 2,315.28 million. A breakdown by country and sector showed a very mixed picture – as is usual in this segment.
The revenue, like the output volume, remained mostly steady (-1 %). At the same time, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) turned from € -10.85 million into positive territory at € 108.70 million. This is due to the very volatile business in the non-European markets, which, above all in Africa and in the Middle East, showed much better development than in the previous year.

2) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The Special Divisions & Concessions segment is divided into several different fields, including tunnelling and services. How did the segment develop in 2011?
The two sub-segments developed quite differently. Large projects dominate in tunnelling, so we have an accordingly high volatility there. In early 2011, we began construction on the Koralm Tunnel, the largest tunnelling contract ever awarded in Austria, with an order volume of € 570 million. We hope that we can complete this project to the degree which we have planned and that we will be able to win further follow-up orders. In the field of tunnelling, we are active not only nationally, but also and above all internationally. Thanks to a follow-up order in Canada, we were able to continue our activities after completion of the Niagara Tunnel project and further use our available capacities in the country.

Besides two large projects which are already planned, the Semmering Tunnel and the Brenner Base Tunnel in Austria, we also see some very interesting infrastructure projects abroad, for example in Qatar. PPP projects are also playing an increasing role in tunnelling.
Our property and facility services business is significantly shaped by the ten-year contract which we concluded with Deutsche Telekom in 2008. The contract foresees an annual reduction of orders from the client, so we must at least compensate these reductions with new contracts in facility services. This is going relatively well. It is demonstrably cheaper for public and semi-public institutions to outsource such services than to maintain an enormous internal service apparatus.
I am basically optimistic about the future. A certain weakening of the results is to be expected, but the available order backlog allows a positive forecast for the segment as a whole.
The order backlog was down 14 % to € 3,597.34 million. Three factors were responsible for this development. Firstly, Section 2 of the A2 motorway in Poland, a large public-private partnership (PPP) project, was worked off. Secondly, STRABAG is no longer reporting its projects in Libya in the order books due to the political situation in the country since the beginning of 2011. Finally, new orders in the Middle East can only partially compensate these negative developments.
Overall, an ongoing internationalisation can be observed in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment: in the past financial year, the STRABAG subsidiary EFKON AG landed several tolling and ITS supply contracts in India and South Africa; the group division International successfully participated in bidding in Oman and in the United Arab Emirates; and the field of tunnelling had to expand its geographic range due to the low number of tenders in the core markets. STRABAG also accepted the contract to build a wastewater tunnel in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada and to build a section of State Road 223 including six tunnels in Tuscany, Italy. The company is also helping to build the Algiers Metro in Algeria.
In the home market of Germany, STRABAG is mostly active in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment with proprietary real estate project developments as well as in the field of public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects. Together with a consortium partner, the company is planning, financing, building and operating an approximately 58 km section of the A8 motorway – a project that was acquired in the past financial year. In 2011, a STRABAG subsidiary was also awarded the PPP building construction contract to retrofit the nurses' home for the Klinikum Ansbach.
Employee numbers (19,342 persons) changed only insignificantly relative to the previous year (+1 %). Worth mentioning are two major – and opposing – changes: the acquisition-driven increase in the German property and facility services business, contrasted by the withdrawal from Libya in order to protect the well-being of STRABAG workers there.
STRABAG is working on raising its output volume in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment from € 2.3 billion to € 2.6 billion in the 2012 financial year. The segment is expected to continue to make a clear, positive contribution to the net income after minorities, even if the result should weaken a little. This forecast is based on quite different trends depending on the market and the business field:
Basically, a strong regional diversification can be seen in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment due to the heterogeneous nature of the services offered as well as the international demand for technological competence. Projects are currently in the prequalification or bidding phase in Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. However, this also results in high bidding costs.
STRABAG pursues projects on several continents – on the one hand, because certain construction technologies can be offered competitively around the world; on the other hand, as a way of diversifying its own risk. This is currently proving to be of benefit in the field of tunnelling: here the demand in the STRABAG home markets of Germany and Austria, as well as in Switzerland, is low, and the market prices have reached an inacceptable level. Furthermore, the market for infrastructure has completely collapsed in South-East Europe.
While the PPP infrastructure business has in the past few months been mainly successful in northern Europe, STRABAG is working with PPP projects in building construction primarily in its home markets of Germany and Austria. On the one hand, this form of financing widens the public sector's scope of action; on the other hand, the consequences of the financial crisis – significantly higher interest premiums and liquidity costs with a trend to shorter financing terms – are having an inhibitory effect.
In 2012, STRABAG would like to expand its geographic presence regarding proprietary project developments in building construction – which are currently found mainly in Germany – to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe. The demand for real estate in Germany is expected to remain stable in the coming year. A repeat of the high transaction level of the previous year will not least depend on the financing environment. STRABAG remains focused on commercial properties in the mid-double-digit million euro range, including offices, business real estate and hotels. At the same time, STRA-BAG has since the previous year been driving ahead the development of residential buildings for global investors.
In the property and facility services business, STRABAG sees a positive order situation. The planned reduction in the volume of orders from key account Deutsche Telekom could be compensated through contracts with new clients.
Effective 1 January 2011, the business fields of Offshore Wind – Construction Operations and of Special Foundation Engineering were moved from the Special Divisions & Concessions segment to the Transportation Infrastructures segment. The comparison values for the previous year for order backlog, employees, output volume and earnings were adjusted accordingly. In the 2011 financial year, these two business fields contributed € 255.87 million to the output volume and € 263.77 million to the order backlog and employed 840 people.

The STRABAG Group is subject to a number of risks in the course of its business activities. These risks are identified and assessed using an active risk management system and dealt with using an appropriate risk policy.
The group's goals are defined at all company levels. This was a prerequisite to setting up processes for the timely identification of potential risks standing in the way of the achievement of company objectives. The organisation of STRABAG's risk management builds on project-related jobsite and acquisitions controlling, supplemented by the higher-level assessment and steering management. The risk controlling process includes a certified quality management system, internal group guidelines for the workflow in the operating units, a central administration, controlling, auditing and contract management. Through the establishment of company-wide quality standards in quotation processing and supplemental services management, the centrally organised contract management department can better assert claims for outstanding debt.
The group's internal risk report defines the following central risk groups:
The entire construction industry is subject to cyclical fluctuations and reacts to varying degrees depending on region and sector. Overall economic growth, development of the construction market, the competitive situation, the conditions on the capital markets and technological changes in construction can all result in risks. These risks are continually observed and monitored by the central departments and operating units. Changes in external risks lead to adjustments in STRABAG's organisation, market presence and range of services as well as the adaptation of strategic and operating planning. STRABAG further responds to market risk with geographic and product-related diversification in order to keep the influence on the company's success exerted by an individual market or by the demand for certain services as low as possible. To avoid bearing the entire risk of rising prices by itself, STRABAG makes efforts at signing cost escalation clauses and "cost-plus-fee" contracts in which the client pays a previously agreed margin on the costs of the project.
The operating risks primarily include the complex risks of project selection and execution. STRABAG keeps acquisition lists in order to review the project choice. Business transactions requiring consent are reviewed and approved by business unit and subdivision managers or by division managers according to internal rules of procedure. Depending on the risk profile, bids of € 2 million or more must be analysed by commissions and reviewed for their technical and economic feasibility. Cost accounting and expense allocation guidelines have been set up to assure a uniform process of costing and to establish a performance profile at our construction sites. Project execution is managed by the construction team on site and controlled by monthly target/ performance comparisons; at the same time, our central controlling provides constant commercial backing, ensuring that risks of individual projects do not endanger the continuance of the company.
Under financial risks, STRABAG understands risks in financial matters and in accounting, including instances of manipulation. Special attention is paid to our liquidity and accounting receivables management, which is secured through continuous financial planning and daily status reports. Compliance with internal commercial guidelines is guaranteed by the central accounting and controlling departments, which are also responsible for internal reporting and the periodic planning process.
Risks from possible instances of manipulation (acceptance of advantages, fraud, deception or other infringements of the law) are monitored by all business areas in general and by the internal audit department in particular. STRABAG last commissioned PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH in 2007 to review and assess the group's compliance systems and the activities designed to combat corruption and unethical behaviour. The results were presented to the management board of STRABAG SE and the auditors' recommendations were passed on to the relevant departments for implementation.
In order to convey STRABAG's values and principles, the group drew up its Code of Ethics and internal Compliance Guidelines in 2007. The values and principles contained within these documents are reflected in the guidelines and instructions of the STRABAG companies and divisions. Compliance with these values and principles is expected not only from the members of the management and supervisory boards as well as from other management-level employees but from all group employees. The Compliance Guidelines and the Code of Ethics are designed to guarantee honest and ethical business practices. The Code of Ethics is available for download at www.strabag.com -> Investor Relations -> Corporate Governance -> Code of Ethics.
Detailed information regarding interest risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk can be found in the Notes under point 26 Financial Instruments.
Risks concerning the design of personnel contracts are covered by the central personnel department with the support of a specialised data base. The company's IT configuration and infrastructure (hardware and software) is handled by the central IT department, controlled by the international IT steering committee.
Past experience has shown that having a highly qualified and motivated workforce is an important factor in competition. In order to properly assess the potential of employees, STRABAG uses an IT-supported aptitude diagnostics process, the so-called behaviour profile analysis. In subsequent feedback talks and employee appraisal interviews, employees and their supervisors analyse the results and agree on specific training and further education measures.
STRABAG can exert influence on the management of associated companies through its shareholder position and, if applicable, any existing advisory functions. The shares in asphalt and concrete mixing companies usually involve minority holdings, which is typical for the sector. With these companies, economies of scope are at the fore.
The group also operates in countries which experience political instability. Interruptions of construction activity, restrictions on ownership interests of foreign investors, and even dispossession or expropriations could be the consequence of political changes which could have an impact on the group's financial structure.
A review of the current risk situation reveals that the reporting period shows no risks which jeopardised the company's existence, nor were there any visible future risks.
REPORT ON KEY FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPOR-TING PROCESS
The control structure as defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) provides the basis for the description of the key features of the internal control and risk management systems. The COSO framework consists of five related components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring.
The aim of the internal control system is to support management in such a way that it is capable of assuring internal controls in relation to financial reporting which are effective and which are improved on an ongoing basis. The system is geared to the compliance with rules and regulations and to creating conditions which are conducive to performing specific controls in key accounting processes.
The corporate culture determines the control environment in which management and employees operate. STRABAG is constantly working to improve its communication and to convey its corporate values as defined in the STRABAG Code of Ethics in order to guarantee moral standards, ethics and integrity within the company and in our dealings with others.
The implementation of the internal control system in relation to the financial reporting process is done on the basis of internal rules and guidelines. Responsibilities for internal control were adapted to fit the corporate organisation.
The internal audit department carries out periodic, unannounced inspections of all relevant business units as part of its responsibility for monitoring compliance with the law and corporate guidelines in the technical and commercial areas. The internal audit department also monitors the effectiveness of the compliance organisation. During these inspections, the internal audit department analyses the legality and correctness of individual actions. The internal audit department also conducts regular, independent reviews of compliance with internal guidelines in the area of accounting. The head of the internal audit department reports directly to the CEO.
The management identifies and monitors risks relating to the financial reporting process, with a focus on those risks that are typically considered to be material.
The preparation of the financial statements requires regular forecasts, with the inherent risk that the actual future development will deviate from the forecast. This especially affects the following matters/items of the consolidated financial statements: assessment of unfinished construction projects, recognition and measurement of provisions (including social capital), the outcome of legal disputes, the collectability of receivables as well as the recoverability of investments and goodwill. In individual cases, external experts are called in or publicly available sources are considered in order to minimise the risk of a false assessment.
All control activities are applied in the current business process to ensure that errors or deviations in financial reporting are prevented or detected and subsequently corrected. The control activities range from a management review of the period results to specific monitoring of accounts to the analysis of ongoing accounting processes.
It is the responsibility of the management to design the levels of hierarchy in such a way that an activity and the control of that activity are not performed by the same person ("four-eyes" principle).
IT security control activities represent a cornerstone of the internal control system. The separation of sensitive activities is supported by a restrictive approach to IT access authorisation. For its accounting and financial reporting, the company mainly uses self-developed software which reflects the unique features of the construction sector. The effectiveness of the financial reporting system is further assured through automated IT controls included in the system.
The management regularly updates the rules and regulations for financial reporting and communicates them to all employees concerned. Regular discussions regarding the financial reporting and the rules and regulations in this context take place in various committees. These committees are composed of the corporate management as well as the department head and senior staff from the accounting department. The committee's work aims, amongst others, at guaranteeing compliance with accounting rules and regulations and to identifying and communicating weak points and potential areas for improvement in the financial reporting process. Accounting employees receive regular training regarding new methods of national and international financial reporting in order to identify risks of unintended misreporting at an early stage.
The management and supervisory boards bear responsibility for the ongoing company-wide monitoring. Additionally, the remaining management levels – all the way to the department heads – are responsible for the monitoring of their respective areas of responsibility. Controls and plausibility checks are carried out at regular intervals. The internal audit department is also involved in the monitoring process.
The top management receives monthly summary financial reports on the development of the output volume, the results of the respective segments and countries, and the liquidity. Financial statements to be published are submitted for final appraisal by the senior accounting staff and the commercial management board members before they are passed on to the audit committee of the supervisory board.
In the past financial year, STRABAG employed an average of 76,866 employees, of which 32,033 were white-collar and 44,833 were blue-collar workers. In the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment, the number of employees grew by 11 % to about 20,300; in the Transportation Infrastructures segment, the employee level increased by 2 % to about 31,600; in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment, the number of employees remained nearly unchanged at around 19,300.
To assure effective, long-term personnel development, STRABAG has at its disposal a number of centrally standardised programmes and IT-supported tools and manages and monitors their application (e.g. applicant and training management systems, employee database, aptitude diagnostic analyses, group academy, trainee programme). The operating management employees, as human resource decision-makers, make use of these during the regular employee appraisal interview as a central management instrument to agree employee objectives that are targeted to the employee's specific field and career and which are in line with their personal skills and qualifications. In the recruitment process, the management is assisted by personnel representatives in the individual countries using the same aforementioned tools and instruments.
For a long time, cost optimisation was seen as a strategic guiding principle for competitiveness in the building business. But building requires a broad spectrum of technologies and know-how in order to come up with technically convincing solutions. The group specifically promotes all those innovation activities which help projects to be executed more efficiently and with a higher level of quality. The aim is to implement research and development projects in cooperation with the operating divisions in order to more quickly bring additional know-how to the construction site. Countless interdisciplinary development projects are ongoing every year.
Zentrale Technik (ZT), the group's central technical department, bundles the group's technical know-how and is in overall charge during the acquisition, planning and implementation of research and development projects. Organised as a central division with over 630 highly qualified employees at 18 locations, ZT reports directly to the CEO.
The department provides services for the group-wide support of the operating units in the areas of tunnelling and civil engineering, construction engineering and turnkey construction. The range of services covers the entire construction process, from the early acquisitions phase and bids processing to execution planning and site management. Research and development activities include the areas of building and construction physics, software, information & communication technology, energy, construction materials technology, civil engineering and tunnelling, transportation infrastructures and safety. ZT also fosters international innovation networks.
As a technology leader in all areas of turnkey construction, we emphasise sustainable construction that requires comprehensive solutions, with a special focus on energy efficiency in the building life cycle. Life-cycle assessment plays a central role here and was extended to all group products and processes in 2011. This will serve both to address increasing customer demands for sustainability and to better identify the efficiency potential as regards resource needs in general and energy needs in particular.
A central topic for the innovation activities is that of renewable energy, the results of which find far-reaching applications: from biogas and biomass facilities to gas, electricity and heat generation to the construction of hydropower stations and wind energy converters. We are also working on the development of offshore wind turbines and on the storage technology necessary for the use of renewable energy.
In traditional building construction, some of the high-rises built in recent years show how optimisations in construction and building materials are giving planners and estimators a new sense of flexibility. Methods are also being developed to better understand material ageing using state-of-the-art sensor technologies.
A great deal of attention has recently been given to the development of "5D planning" in construction. 5D is the group's Building Information Model (BIM), which stands for the model-based, integrative work of all project participants across all project phases.
TPA Gesellschaft für Qualitätssicherung und Innovation (TPA Company for Quality Assurance and Innovation) is STRABAG's competence centre for quality management. Its activities include research and development related to building materials production, as well as materials inspections, job safety, and environment- and waste-related matters. Together with the management of the operating units, ZT and TPA, as internal competence centres, have as their goal the extension of the group's competitive advantage through technical and high-quality solutions while sustaining the natural resources at the same time.
The STRABAG Group's EFKON AG subsidiary provides the group with expertise in the research and development of intelligent transportation systems in general and electronic toll collection solutions in particular. In recent years, EFKON has engaged in some very successful activities in the field of Car2Car communications, especially as a result of its cooperation in EU research projects.
Another focus of the activities is on toll enforcement. Developments include a new product to help the Austrian motorway authority ASFINAG automatically enforce toll stickers in Austria, as well as a portable DSRC-based toll monitoring unit to enforce the toll for trucks on German motorways.
During the 2011 financial year, the STRABAG Group spent about € 15 million (2010: € 14 million) on research, development and innovation activities.
The construction industry traditionally is an energy- and resource-intensive sector. And every building is an intrusion into the natural environment. For us, ecological responsibility begins with the planning of buildings and structures and continues through to their erection and related services. Thus, we are, for example, involved in the development of certification systems from an early stage and are constantly working to increase the number of high-quality buildings on the market.
In order to prepare ourselves for these developments, we are making efforts to minimise CO2 emissions and energy use at an early stage in our activities. This affects our process of value creation as well as our entire range of products. For this reason, we are shifting our focus toward innovative products, in particular within the field of renewable energy. Through the constant development of new technologies, it is our aim to steadily increase the STRABAG product portfolio. At the same time, we are working to develop and enhance the right methods and tools to control our impact on the environment.
In the area of procurement, we strive for the efficient and responsible management of the supply chain with respect to economic, environmental and social aspects. It is important for us that suppliers fulfil certain pre-defined criteria. We want to ensure a resource-friendly use of energy and raw materials in the preparation and delivery of our services.

The management board of STRABAG SE was authorised by resolution of the 7th Annual General Meeting of 10 June 2011, in accordance with Sec 65 Para 1 No 8 and Para 1a and 1b of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), to acquire bearer or registered no-par shares of the company on the stock market or over the counter to the extent of up to 10 % of the share capital during a period of 13 months from the day of the resolution at a minimum price per share of € 1.00 and a maximum price per share of € 34.00. The purpose of the acquisition may not be to trade with own shares. The authorisation can be exercised in full or in part or in several partial amounts for one or several purposes by the company, a subsidiary (Sec 228 Para 3 UGB) or third parties acting on behalf of the company. The management board can decide to acquire shares on the stock exchange but must inform the supervisory board following decision to do so. Over-the-counter purchases require prior approval by the supervisory board. The management board was further authorised, in accordance with Sec 65 Para 1b AktG, for a period of five years from this resolution, to sell or assign its own shares, with approval by the supervisory board, in a manner other than on the stock market or through a public tender, to the exclusion of the shareholders' buyback rights (subscription rights), and to determine the conditions of sale. The authorisation can be exercised in full or in part or in several partial amounts for one or several purposes by the company, a subsidiary (Sec 228 Para 3 UGB) or third parties acting on behalf of the company. At the same time the existing authorisation to buy back own shares as per resolution by the Annual General Meeting of 18 June 2010 was cancelled.
With the exception of the agreement over a syndicated surety loan, there exist no significant agreements to which STRABAG SE is party and which would become effective, change or end due to a change of ownership in STRABAG SE following a takeover offer.
No compensation agreements exist between STRABAG SE and its management and supervisory board members or employees in the event of a public takeover offer.
At the beginning of March 2009, an accident occurred during underground construction at the South Lot for the North-South urban metro line in Cologne, resulting in the collapse of the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne and significant portions of two neighbouring buildings. Debris collapsed into a hole which opened next to the North-South construction site at the Waidmarkt crossover junction. Two people were trapped under the rubble, and rescuers were only able to recover their bodies.
Construction on the underground is being carried out by a joint venture (JV) of Bilfinger Berger SE (formerly Bilfinger Berger AG), Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG and Ed. Züblin AG. The JV is led by Bilfinger Berger SE on the technical side and by Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG on the commercial side. Ed. Züblin AG holds a 33.3 % interest in the JV.
The cause of the collapse remains unknown. The public prosecutor's office began an investigation with three of its experts into possible negligent homicide and endangerment in construction. Initially, the investigation was limited to independent proceedings conducted at the District Court in Cologne to collect evidence as to the cause of the accident. Now a model building is being built to help determine the cause, with completion expected around the end of 2013. In June 2011, the City of Cologne filed to extend the court's evidence collection to include the aspect of the damage amount. In November 2011, the District Court in Cologne, at the behest of the City of Cologne, appointed another expert to determine the damage amount. We continue to believe that the incident will not result in any significant damages for the company.
Business transactions with related parties are described in item 28 of the Notes.
Thanks to STRABAG's successful strategy of regional diversification and the related diversification of risk, the consequences from the euro debt crisis have so far not resulted in any lost output for the group. On the contrary: the company registered double-digit growth in the year 2011. Based on the balanced business in terms of regions and segments, STRABAG SE expects the output for the 2012 financial year to remain unchanged at € 14.3 billion.
The forecast by segment is as follows: Building Construction & Civil Engineering € 5.5 billion (2011: € 5.1 billion), Transportation Infrastructures € 6.1 billion (€ 6.7 billion), Special Division & Concessions € 2.6 billion (€ 2.3 billion) and Other € 100 million. STRABAG assumes to be able to compensate the expected considerable declines in Poland through output growth in several other countries.
Due to the ongoing process of working off earlier orders, the lack of public-sector infrastructure investments in Europe did not yet affect output in the 2011 financial year, although a negative effect on returns could be seen above all in the Transportation Infrastructures segment. STRABAG expects a continued unfavourable environment for transportation infrastructures in 2012. An additional burden will be the weakened demand for construction in Poland after the European Football Championship. On the other hand, STRABAG expects to see continued solid business in the German building construction and civil engineering segment, as well as improved results in niche markets such as railway construction or environmental technology.
Detailed outlook in the segment reports
Even if uncertainties regarding the actual economic environment – economic growth in the individual markets, the amount of public spending, and the financing environment for our clients – make planning difficult, STRABAG is targeting an EBIT of more than € 300 million and therefore relatively stable results for the 2012 financial year.
STRABAG makes these forecasts on the assumption that the economic framework in Europe will remain unchanged in the coming year. This means that the financing environment for our private and industrial clients should not worsen further, conversely, however, that a rapid recovery of the conditions or a significant increase in government spending cannot be expected in the STRABAG core markets.
No significant events occurred after the close of the financial year.

The Company's management is responsible for the group accounting system and for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and, as well as in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Those standards require that we comply with professional guidelines and that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our audit did not give rise to any objections. In our opinion, which is based on the results of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2011 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year from 1 January to 31 December 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU.
Pursuant to statutory provisions, the management report for the Group is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as to whether the other disclosures are not misleading with respect to the Company's position. The auditor's report also has to contain a statement as to whether the management report for the Group is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether the disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.
In our opinion, the management report for the Group is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. The disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.

Despite the strong presence in its home markets of Austria and Germany, STRABAG sees itself as a European company. The group has been active in Central and Eastern Europe for several decades in order to diversify the country risk and to profit from the market opportunities in the region. Business in these countries accounted for 30 % of the total group output volume last year as it did the year before. This gives STRABAG a unique position in comparison to the competition and makes it the market leader in the construction sector in Central and Eastern Europe.
STRABAG has for years pursued the strategy of expanding its market shares on the home and growth markets in order to achieve the necessary economies of scale to become a cost leader.
1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
Due to increasing insecurities on both the international markets and in the euro area, growth of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Europe was again less dynamic over the course of 2011. The overall growth rate for last year stood at 1.8 %. Given the economic cooling-off, Euroconstruct expects to see growth of just 0.8 % for the year 2012.
The European construction industry is still weakened by the dampened economic development and worsening debt crisis. The forecasts for the European construction sector remain less positive than for the economy as a whole. A renewed decline of construction output averaging 0.3 % is expected for 2012, with the development strongly marked by country-specific differences. The low point in the Nordic states was reached already in 2010, and in Central Europe, too, the construction industry is again showing stable growth. In contrast, Central and Eastern Europe does not appear to be returning onto a growth path. Slight growth of the overall European construction sector is expected in 2013 at the earliest. Construction industry growth will probably exceed GDP growth slightly in the years 2013 and 2014.
While civil engineering had served as the engine driving the European construction industry until 2010, future growth will primarily be supported by the fields of residential construction and building construction. The potential in civil engineering, meanwhile, will continue to be relatively low due to the strict budgeting within the public sector.
Residential construction was the only segment in Western Europe which grew in 2011, while the Central and Eastern European markets – despite originally positive forecasts – recorded a clear minus in this sector. The good development of the Polish market was also unable to compensate for this negative trend. Euroconstruct expects only a temporary weakness, however, and residential construction should begin growing once more in 2012 in Central and Eastern Europe as well.
Counter to the original forecasts, the upswing in building construction is being delayed due to the ongoing economic insecurities. Here Euroconstruct expects a return to positive growth rates for Europe as a whole in 2013 at the earliest. In 2011, building construction in Europe shrank by 1.4 %, with quite different developments in the individual countries. While the Nordic countries, Germany, Austria and Switzerland again achieved positive growth rates, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, with the exception of Poland, again registered drastic setbacks.
After years of growth leading up to 2010, civil engineering lost 3.3 % across Europe in 2011 in response to the austerity measures in the public sector. Significant declines were registered in Western Europe and in Central and Eastern Europe. Only the strong development in Poland could compensate for the weak performance by the remaining countries. Here, too, slight growth is not expected until 2013.
The economic upturn continued in 2011. Austria's economic output grew by 2.9 %, against a backdrop of rising exports, higher industrial production and growing investments. Due to increasing insecurities on both the international markets and in the euro area, however, this growth will again become less dynamic. Euroconstruct, for example, expects to see growth of just 0.8 % for the year 2012. An aggravation of the debt crisis in the euro area would lead to a further worsening of the growth rates.
Due to the positive economic development, the Austrian construction economy registered a slight plus of 0.7 % in 2011 after several downward years, supported above all by residential construction and building construction. For 2012, the experts at Euroconstruct again expect moderate growth of 0.7 %.
After two negative years, private residential construction grew once more, gaining 1.9 % in the period under report. Growth could be seen not only in the area of renovations, but also in new residential construction. With a significant delay, the field of building construction also recovered from the crisis of 2008/2009, again reaching a growth rate of 2.3 % in 2011. Investments were up in both the industrial sector as well

as for new office buildings. Due to the declining consumption, however, another negative trend was registered in the commercial sector over the course of the year. Against this background, and given a constant total construction output, Euroconstruct expects a significant weakening in residential construction and building construction. Growth in 2012 is not expected to exceed 0.8 % and 1.0 %, respectively.
Civil engineering slipped by 3.5 % in the year under report. However, the negative development relative to the previous year slowed considerably due to increasing public-sector investments in the country's infrastructure. For the coming years, a shift is expected from rail to road construction. After slight decline of 0.3 % in 2012, Euroconstruct expects further stagnation in this area in the years to come due to the strict budget situation.
STRABAG generated a total of 14 % of the group output volume in its home market of Austria in 2011 (2010: 15 %). Alongside Germany and Poland, Austria thus continues to be one of the group's top 3 markets. With a share of 6.6 %1), STRABAG also remains the market leader here. The output volume reached a total volume of € 1,984.57 million in 2011. The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed 49 % to the total, followed by Transportation Infrastructures with 39 % and the Special Divisions & Concessions segment with 9 %. The Transportation Infrastructures segment will probably continue to show weak development in the years to come, while for market reasons the business in Building Construction & Civil Engineering will focus on the greater Vienna area.
Despite the significantly reduced economic dynamism, Germany's GDP growth in 2011 reached another considerable level at 3.0 %. This development can again be attributed to the extensive export activities, which are based on the strong competitive position of German companies. Domestic demand also showed extremely positive development.
The debt crises in the US and in Europe, however, could have a negative impact on future economic output. At the same time, the German government adopted a course of restrictive austerity, against the background of which no further economic stimulus packages are planned. For 2012, Euroconstruct therefore expects significantly reduced GDP growth of 1 %. But due to the good underlying economic situation, the medium-term forecast remains positive despite numerous risk factors.
Germany's construction output grew by 3.7 %, in line with the positive economic development in the period under report. In the next few years, however, the growth will likely slow down once more. For 2012, Euroconstruct expects construction output growth of just 1.8 %.
In line with the economic development, commercial building construction gained 2.0 % in 2011. This sector should also profit from the unbroken strong domestic demand in the medium-term. Favourable financing conditions are having a positive impact on the construction of industrial buildings and on the commercial sector. Demand for office buildings is also continuing to show a positive development following a strong decline during the crisis.
Civil engineering registered the highest growth rate in 2011 at 4.1 %. While expenditures were cut in the transport sector, the energy sector continued to show positive development. Following Germany's decision to withdraw from nuclear power, the focus is in-creasingly on the promotion of renewable energy. Against a backdrop of tightening public-sector spending, however, growth in this sector will slow once more in the future.
With a market share of 1.9 %, STRABAG is market leader in the strongly fragmented German market. In all, STRABAG generated a construction output of € 5,608.91 million in Germany in 2011, accounting for a share of about 39 % of the total output. The Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the most (48 %) to the output in Germany, giving it a market share of 9.1 % in the country's road construction sector. Still, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment made the highest contribution to the extremely good results in the past financial year.

Poland's economy again registered significant growth in 2011. The GDP gained 4.0 % on the basis of strong growth in construction, production and retail, as well as the strengthened export activities. The strong domestic demand remained an important factor driving growth, manifested in a flurry of investment and rising consumption. The good economic situation also had a positive impact on the national budget, with another growth of the budget surplus relative to the previous year.
The tightened level of public-sector spending in the future, however, coupled with a lower volume of EU financing, will contribute to slower growth of the Polish economy. For 2012, Euroconstruct expects slightly reduced growth of 3.7 %.
With a plus of 12.9 %, the Polish construction output in 2011 reached the highest increase among the EU-27 states. The record result was made possible by the good economic situation, extensive public-sector spending and expenditures related to the UEFA European Football Championship. This development is temporary, however. Declining investments in the coming years will lead to extensive stagnation of construction output as early as 2013.
Building construction also profited from the public-sector investments, with growth of 3.6 % in 2011. Some 216 investment projects, financed up to 40 % from the EU structural funds, are to be realised ahead of the EURO 2012. Investments are being made in healthcare and education as well as in the construction of cultural institutions.
Due to the enormous investment activity ahead of the European Football Championship, civil engineering in Poland registered a record plus of 29.2 % in 2011. Most of the investments are going toward the upgrade of airport runways, waterways and roads. The high level of investment should continue until the middle of 2012. Civil engineering will then shrink again once the event is over, however.
STRABAG is the number 1 in the construction sector in Poland. The country contributed € 1,718.78 million, or 12 %, to the overall group output in 2011, making it the third-largest market for STRABAG. 79 % of the output came from the Transportation Infrastructures segment, which also contributed the largest percentage of the revenue by far. With 15 %, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment came in second place. STRABAG's share of the entire Polish construction market stood at 3.2 %, that of road construction at 12.3 %.
Although the forecasts for 2011 had originally been very positive, the Czech GDP only achieved growth of 2.1 %. The forecasts for the coming year are also proving to be extremely cautious, and Euroconstruct does not expect a return to strong economic growth until 2013. In the coming years, the growth will be supported above all by foreign trade. With this strong dependency on export nations, however, the Czech economy is extremely vulnerable to the individual country risk.
The overall improved economic output is not reflected in the Czech construction output, however, which shrank by a further 6.2 % in 2011. The continuing unstable political situation, higher value added tax and slow wage growth coupled with the higher rate of unemployment were largely responsible for this development. The country also saw renewed cuts to public-sector spending on transport and infrastructure. A recovery of the construction sector is therefore not expected until 2013 at the earliest.
Building construction in the Czech Republic was strongly affected by the recession and has been consistently developing backwards since 2007. A reversal of the trend is not expected until 2013 at the earliest. In 2011, this sector also slipped by 7.6 %, following a minus of 11.3 % the year before. Private Investments are continued to be impeded by the high interest rates charged by Czech banks, which did not pass on the central bank's lower rates to their customers. Against the backdrop of the current budget cuts, the public sector is also failing to deliver any growth impulses.
The noticeable negative trend in civil engineering starting in 2010 continued in 2011. The lack of an overarching strategy means that public investments are still being postponed, above all in infrastructure, so that a number of planned projects are not being realised and ongoing projects had to be suspended. This led to a 4.2 % decline in the field of civil engineering in 2011. A recovery is not expected until 2014.
STRABAG is the number 1 on the market in the Czech Republic. With an output volume of € 769.23 million, the group generated around 5 % of its overall output volume in this country in 2011. This makes the Czech Republic STRABAG's fourth-largest market. The market share amounts to 4.4 %, even reaching 11.9 % in road construction. 80 % of STRABAG's Czech construction output volume is generated by the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
Despite a significantly slower economic dynamism in Switzerland, the GDP achieved growth of 2.3 % in 2011. Against the background of the debt crisis in Europe and in the US and the ongoing anxiety on the financial markets, this development is quite satisfactory. Switzerland registered an increased influx of qualified workers due to the unfavourable economic conditions in the neighbouring countries, which above all helped to boost private consumption. While the strong currency guarantees a low level of inflation, it also represents a great risk for the export economy. For the coming years, therefore, Euroconstruct expects a weakening of the GDP growth.
In line with the positive economic development, the construction output in Switzerland also registered solid growth rates. The plus of 2.6 % in 2011 was largely due to the favourable development of private residential construction and building construction. As a strong growth driver, residential construction will also make for clear growth in the construction economy next year.
Following the stagnation of the past few years, building construction, which accounts for about 30 % of the overall construction output in Switzerland, again grew by 2.4 % in the year under report. More than half of the investments went to renovation activities. Following slowed growth in 2012, building construction should again achieve stronger growth starting in 2013.
Despite the positive economic environment, civil engineering registered a decline of 1.6 % in 2011. The high growth rates of the years 2008 and 2009 were supported by the extensive economic stimulus programmes which ran out already in 2010. Against this background, the experts at Euroconstruct expect only slight growth for the coming years.
The Swiss market contributed € 574.21 million or 4 % to the group's overall construction output volume in 2011. For organisational reasons, most of the activities in Switzerland are assigned to the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment regardless of the actual work performed.
Driven mainly by the high price of oil, economic output again reached growth of 4.2 % in 2011 after the Russian economy had already stabilised in 2010. This positive trend should continue as long as there is no intensification of the external risk factors – especially the budget problems in Europe and the US.
Following the stabilisation of the Russian construction sector the year before, satisfactory growth was again registered in 2011 – at 4.9 % surpassing even GDP growth. Against the background of extensive infrastructure investments, Euroconstruct expects a further acceleration of the construction output for the years to come.
The building construction market continued to recover, while residential construction is further marked by low demand as a result of the high market prices. International investors, in particular, restarted the activities they had suspended in 2008. Investments made mainly involved office buildings, hotels and shopping centres.
With growth of 11.6 %, the strongest growth by far was achieved in civil engineering. Investments in infrastructure represent an important focus of Russian budget policy and represent around 50 % of the overall construction output. Under the programme "Development of Transport System of Russia 2010–2015", some RUB 800 billion will be spent on the development and modernisation of Russia's rail, road, air and shipping

network until the year 2015. High investments are also planned in the federal "Clean Water" programme, which is focused on the development of water treatment facilities.
STRABAG generated an output volume of € 486.90 million in Russia and its neighbouring countries (RANC) in 2011. The contribution to the overall group output volume in the period under report amounted to 3 %. In the RANC region, STRABAG is active almost exclusively in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment (86 %).
Following the upturn of 2010, the Slovak economy grew by a further 3.3 % in 2011. By 2014, growth rates could even return to up to 3.9 %. An important factor remains foreign demand, while budget spending continued to stagnate and public-sector spending was down.
Despite the good development of the economy, the Slovak construction output again registered a significant minus of 5.5 % in 2011. The main reasons for this development were the absence of private and public-sector investments as well as the insecurity on the international markets. However, Euroconstruct expects a recovery already in 2012. While building construction had shown the best development in 2011, civil engineering should again grow considerably starting in 2012.
The building construction sector, which accounts for nearly half of the Slovak construction output, registered moderate growth of 1.9 % for the first time since the crisis of 2008/2009. Most of this was financed from private sources. A continual rise of the growth rates is expected for the coming years.
Due to the restrictive budget policy, civil engineering had to accept a renewed minus of 8 % in 2011. Starting in 2012, however, state spending for transport and infrastructure should increase again. The government will make efforts at securing more EU financing while also increasing its own budget for state spending.
With a market share of 7.9 % and an output volume of € 440.74 million in 2011, STRABAG is the market leader on the Slovak market. The share of the road construction market even amounts to 18.1 %. The largest contribution to output in 2011 was made by the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment with 56 %, followed by Transportation Infrastructures with 41 % and Special Divisions & Concessions with 2 %.
Hungary was more strongly affected by the global crisis of 2008/2009 than the other EU member states and the Hungarian government has still not managed to catch up. The economic output in 2011 reached only moderate growth of 1.6 %. No measures to stimulate the domestic demand were adopted by the government in the period under report. The positive development of Hungarian export activity was the only factor stabilising the economic output. But this sector – which has been very stable and is largely dependent on Germany – is strongly affected by the uncertain economic situation of the export countries. For this reason, Euroconstruct again expects no more than moderate growth of 1.5 % for 2012. Significant increases will not be achieved until the following years.
Despite originally positive forecasts for 2011, the construction output continued to decline with a minus of 10.8 %. Supported by the positive development of residential construction in the future, Euroconstruct expects renewed growth of construction output in 2013.
With a decline of 9.7 %, the Hungarian building construction sector continued to suffer under the low level of foreign investments in 2011. Real estate projects were not continued, and corporate bonds have seen a dramatic decline since mid-2008. Local governments stopped public-sector projects. Low growth will not be possible until 2014 due to the availability of EU financing.
With a minus of 11.7 %, civil engineering shrank even more strongly than the year before. Given the budget restrictions, the start of civil engineering projects remains uncertain due to the lack of financing plans. The future development thus depends strongly on the federal infrastructure plan. The experts at Euroconstruct do not expect a return to moderate growth until 2014.
With an output volume of € 436.08 million in 2011, STRABAG is the leading provider on the Hungarian construction market. The share of the overall market reached 6.4 %, in road construction STRABAG even generated 15.4 % of the total construction output. The Transportation Infrastructures segment accounted for the greatest proportion of the output at 56 %. The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment and the Special Divisions & Concessions segments generated about 36 % and 8 % of the output, respectively.
Scandinavia's economic output exhibited enormous differences from country to country in 2011. With GDP growth of 4.3 %, Sweden had the strongest growth rate by far, while Norway and Denmark remained significantly below this level with 1.6 % and 0.5 %, respectively. The economic output should slowly increase in 2012. The construction output, on the other hand, grew more or less evenly in all markets with an average of 4.4 %. While building construction grew the strongest in Sweden, residential construction achieved the highest increases in the other countries. In 2012, the construction output should grow even more strongly in Denmark and Norway.
STRABAG's output in Scandinavia reached € 512.41 million in 2011. The Transportation Infrastructures segment made the strongest contribution at 87 %. Infrastructure projects are among the main activities. For organisational reasons, however, projects in Scandinavia – regardless of their nature – are assigned to the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
The Benelux countries are continuing to register positive growth rates. The GDP in Belgium grew by 2.4 % last year, while GDP growth in the Netherlands reached 1.5 %. Against the background of Europe-wide austerity plans, however, Euroconstruct also expects to see a significant slowdown of economic growth in the Benelux countries in 2012.
Significantly more positive than the overall economy was the growth of the construction output in Belgium and the Netherlands with an average plus of 3.8 %. While all sectors of the construction industry gained evenly in the Netherlands, growth in Belgium was mainly supported by civil engineering. Euroconstruct expects the construction output to continue to grow more strongly than the economic output in the years to come.
STRABAG achieved an output of € 359.95 million in the Benelux countries in 2011. The company is most strongly represented in Benelux in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment.
The Italian economy currently is in a difficult crisis marked by a high level of debt, an enormous insolvency risk and financial turbulence. Against this background, the GDP achieved only slight growth of 0.6 % in 2011. The economic output is expected to stagnate in the years to come.
The construction output also continued its negative trend, shrinking by a further 3.1 % in 2011. In all, the market as a whole has lost about 20 % since 2006, with declines in new construction reaching as much as 40 %. Civil engineering has lost about one third of its volume since 2005. Given the continuation of the debt crisis, Euroconstruct does not expect slight growth until the year 2013.
STRABAG's output in Italy amounted to € 186.45 million in 2011. In Italy, STRABAG is mainly active in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment, which contributed 95 % to the overall group output in this market. For this reason, all other projects in Italy are also recorded in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment.
In addition to its main markets in Europe, the STRABAG Group is also active in individual non-European regions in Asia, Canada, Africa and the Middle East. STRABAG increased its presence in the non-European markets in order to become more independent from the economic conditions among the previous growth markets. In all, the group generated € 737.66 million in these regions in 2011, which corresponds to 5 % of the overall group output volume.
In the non-European markets, STRABAG is usually active as a general contractor through direct export. The focus in these regions is on civil engineering, industrial and infrastructure projects and tunnelling – areas in which high technological expertise is required.
The most important projects include the construction of the Rohtang Pass highway tunnel at 3,980 m above sea level in the western Himalaya region in India as well as the upgrade of roads and infrastructure within the Duqm port facility in Oman. STRABAG's activities in non-European countries in all areas of business are mostly included – with a few small exceptions – in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment.
After two years of recession, the economic output in Romania grew by 1.5 % in 2011. The country's growth should become increasingly dynamic in the years to come.
Despite the positive economic output, Romania's overall construction output fell by a further 1.6 % in 2011. While the sector's residential construction and civil engineering shrank by 5.5 % and 1.1 %, respectively, building construction recovered and grew by 1.4 % – a trend that is expected to continue in the coming years. Against the background of extensive efforts to secure sources of financing for the still underdeveloped transport sector, Euroconstruct expects to see a continuous recovery of growth rates in civil engineering as well.
STRABAG took third place on the Romanian construction market in 2011, with construction output of € 205.87 million. At 54 %, the Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the highest proportion to the group output volume in Romania.
While the other countries in the region have already recovered from the financial crisis, Croatia continues to register weak economic output. After two negative years, GDP growth of 1.3 % is expected for 2011, although this value is significantly below the comparison values for other countries in the region. For the coming years, Euroconstruct continues to expect only moderate growth in Croatia.
As the Croatian construction sector is recovering even more slowly than the economy as a whole, the construction output registered a minus of 11.3 % in 2011. Financing problems for ongoing and future projects led to many construction projects being suspended or postponed. Especially affected was the residential construction sector; building construction began to show more dynamism in 2011 due to the activities in the tourism sector.
Despite extensive financing options for civil engineering projects, this sector continues to suffer from the economic and financial crisis, registering a minus of 14.6 % in 2011. A slight recovery and the first positive growth rates are not expected until 2013. Especially the railway sector is expected to function as a growth driver due to its great importance for the country's infrastructure.
In 2011, STRABAG achieved an output volume of € 106.35 million in Croatia. The highest proportion was generated in the Transportation Infrastructures segment, with 52 %, followed by Building Construction & Civil Engineering with 44 %.
With an economic growth of 2.2 % last year, Serbia is in a transitional phase to a sustained economic upturn. The country's extensive structural reforms and its favourable geographic location give the Serbian market a high degree of growth potential.
Thanks to the financing of construction projects by the IMF and the EBRD, the construction output in Serbia grew by 12.3 % in 2011. This strong growth benefited all sectors of the construction industry. While building construction returned to growth of 3.1 % in 2011 after two negative years, gains in residential construction even reached 7.9 % in response to extensive state measures. Due to an enormous amount of investment in the country's infrastructure, civil engineering registered the strongest growth (18.8 %) in the period under report. Due to further financing promises from the IMF and the EBRD for 2012, Euroconstruct expects Serbia's overall construction output to grow by 12.1 %. The following years, however, will again be characterised by strong uncertainties.
STRABAG's output volume in Serbia reached € 87.29 million in 2011. With 55 %, the Transportation Infrastructures segment contributed the greatest amount.
Slovenia traditionally is one of the fastest growing markets in the Central and Eastern European region. Recently, however, the Slovenian economy has suffered from the turbulence on the international financial markets, with GDP growth of just 1.5 % in 2011. But Euroconstruct expects more significant growth of economic output in the years to come.
In 2009, the combination of weak domestic demand and the general economic crisis had led to a drastic setback of the construction economy and a reduction of production capacities, all of which continues to prevent a return to pre-crisis levels. The Slovenian construction output in 2011 shrank by another 23.8 % in 2011. The completion of the Slovenian motorway also resulted in lower infrastructure spending.
In 2011, STRABAG achieved an output volume of € 48.52 million in Slovenia. With 56 %, the company generated the highest percentage in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment.
With growth of 2.3 %, the Bulgarian economy remained slightly below the expectation of the experts in 2011. Growth was mainly supported by exports, while private consumption was below the level of the previous year. Economic growth should pick up significantly in the years to come, however.
The positive economic development is only slowly being reflected in the construction economy. After three negative years in a row, the construction output will return to growth in 2012. Residential construction and building construction will continue to shrink in the years to come, but civil engineering should compensate these declines through its strong reliance on EU financing. The focus will continue to be on upgrading and modernising the transport infrastructure, although subsidies will also lead to an increased realisation of environmental projects.
STRABAG generated € 18.40 million on the Bulgarian market in 2011. With 52 %, the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed the highest percentage to STRABAG's total output volume in Bulgaria.

1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The order backlog stood at € 13.4 billion, 9 % below the level at the end of 2010. For the most part, this is due to the development in Poland as the preparations for the 2012 European Football Championship had triggered large infrastructure investments from the public sector. As market leader, STRABAG was awarded several of the resulting contracts and worked these off in the 2011 financial year. This transformed an order backlog of about € 1.4 billion into output, so that the order backlog in Poland alone sank from € 2.3 billion to around € 900 million. Also, we are no longer reporting the projects in Libya in the order books due to the political situation in the country since the beginning of 2011.
The overall order backlog is comprised of 17,760 individual projects. Of this amount, nearly 17,500 are small projects with a volume of up to € 15 million each. They account for 36 % of the order backlog; a further 18 % are medium-sized projects with order volumes between € 15 million and € 50 million; 46 % are large projects of € 50 million or more. The high number of individual contracts guarantees that the risk involved with one project does not threaten the group success as a whole. The ten largest projects in the order backlog on 31 December 2011 added up to 19 % of the order backlog, compared to 24 % at the end of 2010.

In the 2011 financial year, 47 companies (thereof 14 mergers with fully consolidated companies) were included in the scope of consolidation for the first time. These companies contributed a total of € 503.45 million to the consolidated revenue and € -22.34 million to the net income after minorities. As a result of first-time inclusions, current and non-current assets increased by € 325.42 million, current and non-current liabilities by € 190.65 million.
STRABAG SE generated an output volume of € 14.3 billion in the 2011 financial year. The company had expected an increase from € 12.8 billion to € 14.0 billion and surpassed its own forecast with an actual plus of 12 %. The growth is due to the strong demand in the German building construction and civil engineering segment, the booming Polish construction sector above all in the field of transportation infrastructures and the expansion in northern Europe. Additionally, STRABAG acquired two construction SMEs in Switzerland in the first quarter of 2011, which had a positive effect on the development of the output volume.
The consolidated group revenue for the 2011 financial year stood at € 13,713.80 million, which – similar to the development of the output volume – corresponds to an increase of 11 %. As in previous years, the ratio of revenue to construction output volume remained very high at 96 % (2010: 97 %). The Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment contributed 36 %, Transportation Infrastructures 45 % and Special Divisions & Concessions 18 % to the revenue. In comparison to the previous year, this represents a slight shift in favour of Building Construction & Civil Engineering.
The changes in inventories were significantly higher due to the intensification of the business with group-developed real estate projects, while the amount of own work capitalised dropped by about half following completion of construction of the proprietary cement factory in Hungary.
With the higher revenue, the raw materials, consumables and services used, as well as the employee benefits expense, grew by 13 % to € 9,320.12 million and by 7 % to € 3,004.46 million, respectively. The ratio of these two items versus revenue grew slightly as a result from 89 % in 2010 to 90 % in 2011.
The other operating expenses fell slightly by 2 %, but remained above the € 1 billion mark. At the same time, the other operating income fell by 3 %, due in part to the reduced sales of property, plant and equipment. This item also includes income from the fully consolidated concession companies.

At € -34.54 million, the share of profit or loss of associates turned from positive back into negative territory in the 2011 financial year – the previous year's figure had contained a measurement made directly in profit or loss in the amount of € 24.60 million following the increase in interest in railway construction subsidiary Viamont DSP a.s. The negative share of profit or loss of associates in the 2011 financial year is largely due to an extraordinary write-down in the mid-double-digit millions related to an interest in cement activities.
The net income from investments, at € 3.59 million, was significantly lower than the year before and is made up of dividend payments and expenses, respectively, from many smaller companies as well as financial investments. Given the combination of higher revenue and higher costs, it follows that the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 2 % to € 746.33 million resulting in a decrease of the EBITDA margin from 5.9 % to 5.4 %.
The depreciation and amortisation fell by 6 % to € 411.55 million. The previous year's € 435.74 million still included a one-time impairment of goodwill in the amount of € 14.00 million related to the transaction with Viamont DSP a.s. as well as various other goodwill impairments totalling around € 36 million. The latter fell to about € 16 million in 2011.
Although the Viamont transaction had a positive effect of € 10.60 million in the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the year before, this figure registered a plus of 12 % to € 334.78 million in the 2011 financial year. This resulted in an unchanged EBIT margin of 2.4 %. Due to positive exchange rate differences in the amount of € 37.27 million, the net interest income improved despite the higher interest expense from € -19.68 million to € 8.54 million. The previous year's net interest income had included € 6.4 million in exchange rate losses.
As a result, the profit before tax grew by 23 % to € 343.33 million. STRABAG considers an average tax rate of 30 % to be realistic. The actual rate of 30.3 % in 2011 confirmed this expectation. This led to a net income of € 239.29 million and a plus of 27 % over the previous year.
The earnings owed to the other shareholders (minority interest) climbed from € 13.52 million to € 44.30 million in the year under report. This is due in part to the fact that the losses from the activities in Libya in the previous year had been partially borne by minority shareholders. The net income after minorities for 2011 therefore stood at € 194.99 million, 12 % above the level from the year before. The number of weighted outstanding shares fell from 114,000,000 to 111,424,186 as a result of the buyback of own shares, so that the earnings per share grew by 14 % to € 1.75.

| Balance sheet total | 10,386 | 100 % | 10,382 | 100 % |
STRABAG SE's balance sheet total remained more or less unchanged at € 10.4 billion, due in large part to the reclassification of the proprietary cement plant in Hungary, completed in 2011, from "assets held for sale" to "investments in associates" as the plant was merged into a joint venture with Lafarge of which STRABAG SE holds 30 %. This led to an increase in non-current assets to the detriment of current assets.
The inventories grew in view of new proprietary project developments. The current receivables from concession arrangements also grew significantly: these include a public-private partnership project in Denmark for which the services were pre-financed, which also found expression in the higher current financial liabilities. Overall, however, the current assets fell not least because of the reduced cash and cash equivalents owing to the share buyback programme.

The equity ratio fell slightly from 31.1 % to 30.3 % as a result of the share buyback programme, which led to reduced retained earnings in the same amount as the costs of acquisition of the own shares. The management board considers an equity ratio between 20 % and 25 % to be a realistic target in the medium-term.
As in the years before, STRABAG ended the year with a net cash position. This was counter to expectations. Reaching € 267.81 million, however, this figure was down 60 % in a year-on-year comparison. The net cash position does not include € 754.18 million in non-recourse financial liabilities related to the AKA and Kliplev Motorway Denmark concession companies. The interest expense of these non-recourse finance liabilities, as well as the interest income from receivables from concession arrangements, is presented in other operating income.

The cash-flow from operating activities fell in the past financial year by 27 % to € 501.15 million despite a simultaneous 35 % increase of the cash-flow from profits. In addition to the reduction of prepayments in Poland, this is due to the expansion of the business – as evidenced by the higher revenue – which, as expected, was manifested in a build-up of working capital.
The cash-flow from investing activities increased by 18 % to € -616.07 million. The company spent around 14 % less on the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets than the year before. However, this item includes several acquisitions of construction and raw material SMEs in Switzerland and Germany recorded under "changes in consolidation" as well as the co-payment of € 77.5 million for a stake in the joint venture with Lafarge in "purchase of financial assets".
The cash-flow from financing activities stood at € -81.71 million after € -20.00 million the year before. On the one hand, STRABAG issued a € 175 million bond in 2011 (while paying back a € 75 million bond), compared to a positive net effect of just € 25.00 million from the bond programme in 2010. On the other hand, the acquisition of own shares cost the company € 185.23 million by the end of the year.
STRABAG had forecast capital expenditures (CAPEX) in the amount of approximately € 580 million for the 2011 financial year. In the end, the gross capital expenditures totalled € 752.24 million. This figure includes expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment, the purchase of financial assets – such as the investment in the joint cement venture with Lafarge – and enterprise acquisitions (changes to the scope of consolidation, e.g. the acquisitions of Brunner Erben Holding AG and Astrada AG, Switzerland, as well as of Gaul GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). As a result, the capital expenditures far exceeded the budget – despite the savings in expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment.
These fell by 14 % to € 477.15 million. About € 200 million is spent annually as maintenance expenditures related to the equipment fleet in order to prevent inventory obsolescence. The high proportion of expansion expenditures is due to STRABAG's focus of its capital expenditures: in the 2011 financial year, the focus was especially on the niche business fields and on the large Koralm Tunnel project in Styria, Austria. The significant increase in demand in Poland and in Germany led to the purchase of equipment in these countries being registered to a large degree as expansion expenditures.
Expenditures on intangible assets and on property, plant and equipment during the year under report must be seen against amortisation on intangible assets and depreciation on property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 411.55 million. This figure, however, also includes goodwill impairment in the amount of € 16.15 million.
The number one objective for the treasury management of STRABAG SE is assuring the continued existence of the company through the maintenance of constant solvency. This objective is to be reached through the provision of sufficient short-term, medium-term and long-term liquidity.
Liquidity for STRABAG SE means not only solvency in the strict sense but also the availability of guarantees. The building activity requires the constant availability of bid, contract fulfilment, pre-payment and warranty guarantees and/or sureties. The financial scope of action is thus defined on the one hand by sufficient cash and cash credit lines, on the other hand by sufficient surety credit lines.
The management of liquidity risks has become a central element of the corporate management at STRABAG. In practice, liquidity risks come in various forms:
In the past, STRABAG has always oriented its financing decisions according to the risk aspects outlined above and has organised the maturity structure of the financial liabilities in such a way as to avoid a refinancing risk. In this way, the company has been able to maintain a great scope for action, which is of particular importance in a difficult market environment.
The necessary liquidity is determined by liquidity planning. Based on this, liquidity assurance measures are made and a liquidity reserve is defined for the entire group.
STRABAG SE has a total credit line for cash and surety loans in the amount of € 6.2 billion. The credit lines include a syndicated surety credit line in the amount of € 2.0 billion with a maturity until 2015. A high degree of diversification creates an adequate risk spread in the provision of the credit lines.
The medium- and long-term liquidity needs have so far also been covered by the issue of corporate bonds. STRABAG SE has regularly issued bonds on the Austrian market since 2004. Due to the market conditions, STRABAG opted against issuing a new bond in the 2009 financial year. In the 2011 financial year, STRABAG successfully issued a € 175 million tranche and, due to the favourable market environment, for the first time chose a term to maturity of seven instead of five years. The proceeds from the issue were used for general business purposes and to pay back a bond which matured in 2011. At present, this leaves four bonds with a total volume of € 425 million on the market.
The existing liquidity of € 1.7 billion and cash credit lines of € 0.4 billion assure the group's liquidity needs. Nevertheless, further bond issues are planned, depending on the market situation, in order to maintain a high level of liquidity reserves in the future as well.
In December 2011, S&P again confirmed its BBB- rating and stable outlook as STRABAG SE benefits from its solid capital structure and strong liquidity situation, its good access to raw materials and its leading market position in the otherwise cyclical, highly competitive and low-margin construction sector.

The company's revenues decreased year-on-year by € 7.4 million from € 60.4 million to € 53.1 million due largely to a decline in revenue from group financial services and in part to a reduction of the revenue from the calculated intra-group allocations.

| Return on equity in % (ROE)2) | 0.6 | 2.7 |
| Return on investment in % (ROI)3) | 0.4 | 2.0 |
The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) decreased by € 50.2 million year-on-year to € 14.1 million as the result of a strong decline of the net income from investments over the year before; the decline of the net income from investments is due to the increased valuation allowances from financial assets which could not be compensated by the significantly increased investment income.
The operating result fell – despite the significant decrease in expenses – from € 10.7 million in the year before to € 4.9 million in the year under report; this effect was due in part to the decline of the revenue.
The changed result had a direct effect on the profitability figures, as the average equity and total assets remained nearly the same.
The interest income of € 6.4 million in the previous year fell by € 4.2 million to € 2.2 million in the 2011 financial year. This is due particularly to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents (incl. receivables from cash-clearing) and the related reduction of interest income; at € 26.2 million, the interest expense developed at about the previous year's level (€ 26.7 million) due to the volatile interest development and the increase in interest-bearing liabilities.
Overall, the company generated a net profit of € 13.8 million, compared to € 67.0 million in the previous year.
The balance sheet total of STRABAG SE remained relatively stable, coming to rest at € 3,213.5 million in 2011 compared to € 3,199.2 million in the previous year, with changes among only a few balance sheet items. Worth mentioning is the increase in non-current assets in the amount of € 378.8 million from enterprise acquisitions, capital increases and injections in subsidiaries; for the first time, the company bought back bearer shares corresponding to 7.70 % of the share capital. The investment was financed by the reduction of the cash-pooling credit (receivables from subsidiaries) as well as from the issue of another corporate bond in the amount of € 175 million.

A net debt position in the amount of € 415.4 million was calculated on 31 December 2011. The significant changes over the year before result primarily from the acquisition of own shares and investments in non-current assets. This led to an increase of the gearing ratio in the year under report to 16.0 %.
The working capital rose compared to the year before from € 86.1 million to € 118.4 million.
The equity ratio fell slightly on the year to 81.0 % because the proportion of equity had fallen while the balance sheet total remained nearly the same

| Cash-flow from financing activities in T€ | -18,759 | -108,812 |
The cash-flow from operating activities in the amount of € 90.5 million is largely the result of cash-flow from earnings, whereby the reduction of receivables from subsidiaries could not entirely be compensated by the growth of liabilities from subsidiaries and other provisions.
The cash-flow from investing activities contains mainly the acquisitions of financial assets, injections to subsidiaries and the acquisition of own shares.
The cash-flow from financing activities shows a use of funds in the amount of € 18.8 million; this nearly balanced cash-flow results from the repayment of current and noncurrent financial liabilities, the redemption of bond tranches which matured during the financial year, as well as the payment of the dividend. This was countered by the increase of cash inflows in the amount of € 175 million from the bond issued in the past financial year.
The operating business of STRABAG SE is divided into three segments: Building Construction & Civil Engineering, Transportation Infrastructures and Special Divisions & Concessions. A further segment defined as "Other" encompasses expenditures, income and employees at the group's service companies and staff units.
Construction projects are assigned to one of the segments (see chart below). Certainly, projects may also be assigned to more than one segment. This is the case, for example, with PPP projects in which the construction part is assigned to its respective segment, but the concession part is assigned to the concessions unit of Special Divisions & Concessions. In projects which span more than one segment, the commercial and technical responsibility is generally assigned to that segment which has the higher share of the overall project value.
Vienna central Station, austria
The building construction half of the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment includes the construction of commercial and industrial properties, airports, hotels, hospitals, office and administration buildings, residential real estate and the production of prefabricated elements. The field of civil engineering comprises complex infrastructure solutions, power plant construction, large-scale bridge building and environmental technology projects.

The output volume generated in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment in the 2011 financial year increased by 20 % to € 5,142.16 million. As a result, STRABAG clearly exceeded its own forecast. It must be mentioned, however, that unfavourable weather conditions in the spring of the previous year had led to an unusually reduced output volume in 2010. Especially worth noting is the growth in the home market of Germany and in the RANC region (Russia and neighbouring countries). Higher output volume was registered in Switzerland due to the acquisitions of two construction SMEs, Brunner Erben Holding AG and Astrada AG, in the first quarter of 2011. A declining trend was seen only in Hungary.
The revenue grew in tandem with the output volume at a double-digit percentage rate to € 4,968.21 million. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 16 % to € 179.09 million in large part due to the good business in the German market.
1) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The order backlog grew slightly by 2 % to € 5,800.06 million. This figure is influenced by the development in four markets in particular. On the one hand, there is the satisfactory high demand for building construction in Germany and Romania. Companies of the STRABAG Group were commissioned for the construction of the TaunusTurm and the Poseidon House office complex in Frankfurt, Germany, and of the Promenada Mall shopping centre and Sky Tower of the Floreasca City Center in Bucharest, Romania – the last two for project developer Raiffeisen evolution. On the other hand, several large projects were completed in Poland and in the RANC region. In these markets, follow-up contracts of the same order and magnitude were not generated in the year under report.
The workforce grew by more than 2,000 persons, or 11 %, to 20,276 employees. The number includes the growth resulting from the Swiss acquisitions, which contributed over 1,100 employees to the overall personnel figures. While the output situation in Germany required an expansion of the workforce there, human resources were reduced as planned in the weak markets of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Given the positive order situation in Germany and Austria, STRABAG expects further significant output growth in the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment from about € 5.1 billion in 2011 to € 5.5 billion in 2012. This forecast is supported by the high order backlog in the home markets and several promising tenders in northern Europe. Further contributions to the output volume will come from the group's entrance into the timber engineering business with the acquisition of Paul Stephan GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, the strengthening of the steel construction business with the acquisition of NE Sander Group, Germany, and the acquisition of Wolfer & Goebel Bau GmbH, Germany.
STRABAG expects the development of results in the segment to remain steady. Stabilising factors are the combination of high demand with stable material and subcontractor prices in Germany as well as a slight yet noticeable improvement of the climate in the Czech Republic. The price pressure in Switzerland remains high and the Hungarian construction sector weak, despite expectations of stimulus measures – in particular from environmental protection projects. The field of environmental technology also holds the promise of opportunities in Romania. In Poland, STRABAG expects a significantly lower output volume due to the completion of large projects from 2012. Given the situation in Moscow, building construction in Russia remains also restrained. The market for infrastructure projects, by comparison, is showing very dynamic development due to the expectation of impulses from the 2018 FIFA World Cup. STRABAG is also working the Russian neighbouring states – Azerbaijan and since recently also Kazakhstan and again Ukraine. For this reason, it should be possible to increase the output in the RANC region in 2012 from about € 490 million to € 650 million despite the reserved demand in Moscow.

The output generated in your segment in 2011 increased by 20 %. What is your evaluation of the past year?
We were still able to make a noteworthy contribution to net income in 2011. Given the macroeconomic environment that we are faced with, I consider this to be a satisfactory outcome.
While our clients in building construction are above all private investors, in civil engineering they are mainly public sector institutions. Of course, we are noticing a certain level of restraint in those places where the public sector is our client – particularly in Hungary, the Czech
Thomas Birtel Member of the Management Board, STRABAG SE, Building Construction & Civil Engineering
Republic and Slovakia. Still, there are markets in which the situation remains positive. As an exam-ple, I would like to mention the greater Vienna area; or parts of Germany, in particular the much-debated Stuttgart 21 project. These two examples show that despite the austerity measures there still are some noteworthy investment projects in the field of civil engineering.
The order situation in building construction is shaped by private investors. On the lookout for a worthwhile investment in the current situation, these investors often take refuge in "concrete gold". This is another reason why the building construction market in Germany has been at its most expansive in a long time. But in our segment, too, there are regional markets which are currently devastated. Here I would like to again mention Hungary, where due to the political environment the private investors are also not being very active.
Sustainability is a very big topic, and it is becoming clear that BlueBuilding or GreenBuilding certification will have an enormously growing importance in the future. The market will orient itself even more strongly toward attaining international certifications for buildings which document their sustainability. In this movement, we are a pioneer. Our central technical division Zentrale Technik has been driving this trend for years and works together with the relevant certification bodies.
We have been building our own buildings in accordance with these requiremants for years. One example is our subsidiary Ed. Züblin AG's Z-zwo building in Stuttgart, which was awarded silver certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). I am convinced that for external clients the issue of sustainability will play an increasingly important role too.
As economist John Maynard Keynes once said: "The future is uncertain." These days, that's especially true. Since the order backlog in Building Construction & Civil Engineering is relatively farreaching, however, the visibility is greater than in other segments. We believe that we will be able to position ourselves on the market with a thoroughly stable output in the new financial year and that the results won't stand out negatively relative to the previous year. We expect to make another positive, stable contribution to the net income after minorities in 2012.
The Transportation Infrastructures segment covers asphalt and concrete road construction as well as any remaining construction activities associated with road construction, such as earth-moving, canalisation, railway construction, waterway construction, dyking, paving, the construction of sport and recreational facilities, specialty foundation engineering, safety and protective structures and the building of small bridges. The segment also includes the production of construction materials such as asphalt, concrete and aggregates.

The Transportation Infrastructures segment achieved output growth of 12 % to € 6,701.20 million in the 2011 financial year. This can be attributed on the one hand to a milder and shorter winter in 2010/2011 compared to the same period the year before, resulting in a significant increase in the home market of Germany. On the other hand, the construction boom in Poland and the expansion in Scandinavia also had a beneficial effect. In comparison, the business in Hungary and the Czech Republic showed a negative trend.
Despite revenue growth of 6 % to € 6,211.24 million, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), at € 60.52 million, were down significantly relative to the previous year's € 178.89 million. This is due among other things to the price competition in Central and Eastern Europe as a result of the lack of infrastructure investments, which required STRABAG to respond with structural adaptations, as well as to a loss-making project in Denmark. Constant low demand in the construction materials sector has also been a burden.
What regional impact is there from the current economic situation and the resulting austerity programmes in the Transportation Infrastructures segment?
The Transportation Infrastructures segment has benefited greatly from the public-sector economic stimulus programmes in recent years. Not only were we able to maintain the output volume; last year, we could even raise it. The announced austerity packages will have a different impact on the construction economy and our business from country to country. Public-sector spending will decline in Germany and Austria and has already fallen to an extremely low level in the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Adriatic region. In contrast, there can be no talk of a construction crisis in Scandinavia. The region has large infrastructure expansion plans, e.g. in the greater Stockholm area. The Swedish state railways are also investing in the expansion and upgrade of their overland routes.
Fritz Oberlerchner Member of the Management Board, STRABAG SE, Transportation Infrastructures
We are focused on the field of road maintenance and repair and on the relevant niche business fields. Also interesting for us are public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The largest contract in the history of the STRABAG Group was a PPP project: a more than 100 km long section of the A2 motorway in Poland which we built over a period of two-and-a-half years and opened for traffic in November 2011. We generated the construction output to a maximum degree with our own resources.
The 2012 European Football Championship in Poland and Ukraine unleashed an enormous temporary boom in the construction sector. The interregional road network is being rapidly upgraded with EU co-financing. This boom will end abruptly when the games start in June 2012, and expenditures for transportation projects will settle back to the level before 2010. I expect that construction capacities and construction demand in Poland will again balance out in 2015 at the earliest.
We are regionally and professionally well-positioned: in Transportation Infrastructures, we are well-diversified and can increase our focus on the maintenance business if investments in new construction decrease. The substance of the existing transportation infrastructures must be maintained – and we can offer the full range of services here. In the long-term, the investments made in recent years to develop the segment from road construction to transportation infrastructures will pay off. In the short-term, however, it is only natural that the lower use of our existing capacities and of the production companies in the construction materials sector will affect profitability.
The order backlog on 31 December 2011 stood at € 3,943.47 million, about one fifth below the level at the end of 2010. The reason for this is the above-average volume of new orders in Poland in the previous year – these could not be repeated despite new projects such as the construction of the A4 motorway between Brzesko and Wierzchoslawice or a section of the S3 expressway – and has now fallen back to a usual level. Additionally, the order backlog in the Czech Republic and Germany is at a low level due to cyclical factors in the construction economy.
In contrast, the order backlog in Scandinavia grew to the second-highest volume in the Transportation Infrastructures segment by region. In Sweden and Finland, the STRABAG Group was awarded three new infrastructure contracts at the middle of the year. The company is also involved in consortiums building road tunnels and quay facilities for the Nordhavn port in Copenhagen, Denmark. Compared to the average transportation infrastructures contract, which lasts only several months, this project involves large long-term orders. Contributing to the unusually high order backlog in Scandinavia is the fact that, in Sweden, STRABAG is also active in building construction (through the acquisition in May 2011 of the construction group NIMAB) and project development (via STRABAG Projektutveckling). Due to organisational reasons these activities are placed in the Transportation Infrastructures segment.
The order backlog also developed satisfactorily in Romania. Here STRABAG emerged as the winning bidder in a number of large projects last year, including the tender for the rehabilitation and upgrade of national roads DN14 and 15a as well as the construction of the A1 motorway section between Deva and Orăştie. The Romanian transport ministry is currently giving priority to the expansion and upgrade of the motorway and rail infrastructure, which will help boost output in 2012.
Due to the high volume of construction activity in Poland, as well as the increased activities in Scandinavia, the number of employees in the Transportation Infrastructures segment rose by 2 % to 31,609. This growth was once more countered by declines in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
While double-digit output growth could still be registered in 2011, the Transportation Infrastructures segment faces an inhospitable environment in Europe, which is why STRABAG expects to see a decline in output and a continued weak result in this segment in 2012. Specifically, the company expects the output to fall from € 6.7 billion to € 6.1 billion.
The special challenge in the largely stable home market of Germany in the coming year will be to hold our own in the recruiting of qualified specialists. Their task will be to win and efficiently process contracts from private and institutional clients against the background of growing competitive pressure, falling returns and empty local government coffers.
Beginning with Germany, STRABAG is pursuing the group strategy of intensifying its activities in niche markets. STRABAG SE increased its stake in the German hydraulic engineering company Josef Möbius Bau AG from 70 % to 100 % and acquired Cuxhaven-based civil hydraulic engineering firm Ludwig Voss. The hydraulic engineering specialists are increasingly landing international projects abroad. Not only this niche, but also that of railway construction, offers considerations to invest in large equipment and machinery for use in the numerous markets of STRABAG. Here, the market in Germany remains weak in terms of volume and price quality. Due to the continuing below-capacity use of large equipment and machinery, there is significant room for improvement of results. In order to work efficiently and to achieve an optimal use of capacities, the strategy of internationalisation is being pursued consistently in this field. The aim is to obtain authorisation for the special equipment fleet in several EU member states in 2012.
An aggressive price battle is to be expected in Poland: STRABAG believes that by the year 2014 the market volume in Poland will successively decrease to the original level before the construction boom. This conclusion seems reasonable given the shrinking budgets for large public-sector construction tenders from 2011 to 2012.
No improvement of the situation of the Hungarian construction industry, the low-price market of Bulgaria or the low price level in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, all of which have been mired in crisis since 2007, is expected for now. Weak development is also expected in the construction materials business – above all with regard to cement and asphalt – with higher prices not in sight.

The Special Divisions & Concessions segment includes, on the one hand, the field of tunnelling. The concessions business, on the other hand, also represents a further important area of business, with global project development activities in transportation infrastructures in particular. The real estate business, which stretches from project development and planning to construction and operation and also includes the property and facility services business, completes the wide range of services of the segment and of the group. Finally, STRABAG bundles its services in non-European markets in this segment.

The output volume in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment remained nearly stable in the 2011 financial year at € 2,315.28 million. A breakdown by country and sector showed a very mixed picture – as is usual in this segment.
The revenue, like the output volume, remained mostly steady (-1 %). At the same time, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) turned from € -10.85 million into positive territory at € 108.70 million. This is due to the very volatile business in the non-European markets, which, above all in Africa and in the Middle East, showed much better development than in the previous year.
1) Presentation in accordance with the Annual Report 2010. Changes in segment structure starting from 2011 are not considered.
2) Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The Special Divisions & Concessions segment is divided into several different fields, including tunnelling and services. How did the segment develop in 2011?
The two sub-segments developed quite differently. Large projects dominate in tunnelling, so we have an accordingly high volatility there. In early 2011, we began construction on the Koralm Tunnel, the largest tunnelling contract ever awarded in Austria, with an order volume of € 570 million. We hope that we can complete this project to the degree which we have planned and that we will be able to win further follow-up orders. In the field of tunnelling, we are active not only nationally, but also and above all internationally. Thanks to a follow-up order in Canada, we were able to continue our activities after completion of the Niagara Tunnel project and further use our available capacities in the country.
Hannes Truntschnig Member of the Management Board, STRABAG SE, Special Divisions & Concessions
Besides two large projects which are already planned, the Semmering Tunnel and the Brenner Base Tunnel in Austria, we also see some very interesting infrastructure projects abroad, for example in Qatar. PPP projects are also playing an increasing role in tunnelling.
Our property and facility services business is significantly shaped by the ten-year contract which we concluded with Deutsche Telekom in 2008. The contract foresees an annual reduction of orders from the client, so we must at least compensate these reductions with new contracts in facility services. This is going relatively well. It is demonstrably cheaper for public and semi-public institutions to outsource such services than to maintain an enormous internal service apparatus.
I am basically optimistic about the future. A certain weakening of the results is to be expected, but the available order backlog allows a positive forecast for the segment as a whole.
The order backlog was down 14 % to € 3,597.34 million. Three factors were responsible for this development. Firstly, Section 2 of the A2 motorway in Poland, a large public-private partnership (PPP) project, was worked off. Secondly, STRABAG is no longer reporting its projects in Libya in the order books due to the political situation in the country since the beginning of 2011. Finally, new orders in the Middle East can only partially compensate these negative developments.
Overall, an ongoing internationalisation can be observed in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment: in the past financial year, the STRABAG subsidiary EFKON AG landed several tolling and ITS supply contracts in India and South Africa; the group division International successfully participated in bidding in Oman and in the United Arab Emirates; and the field of tunnelling had to expand its geographic range due to the low number of tenders in the core markets. STRABAG also accepted the contract to build a wastewater tunnel in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada and to build a section of State Road 223 including six tunnels in Tuscany, Italy. The company is also helping to build the Algiers Metro in Algeria.
In the home market of Germany, STRABAG is mostly active in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment with proprietary real estate project developments as well as in the field of public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects. Together with a consortium partner, the company is planning, financing, building and operating an approximately 58 km section of the A8 motorway – a project that was acquired in the past financial year. In 2011, a STRABAG subsidiary was also awarded the PPP building construction contract to retrofit the nurses' home for the Klinikum Ansbach.
Employee numbers (19,342 persons) changed only insignificantly relative to the previous year (+1 %). Worth mentioning are two major – and opposing – changes: the acquisition-driven increase in the German property and facility services business, contrasted by the withdrawal from Libya in order to protect the well-being of STRABAG workers there.
STRABAG is working on raising its output volume in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment from € 2.3 billion to € 2.6 billion in the 2012 financial year. The segment is expected to continue to make a clear, positive contribution to the net income after minorities, even if the result should weaken a little. This forecast is based on quite different trends depending on the market and the business field:
Basically, a strong regional diversification can be seen in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment due to the heterogeneous nature of the services offered as well as the international demand for technological competence. Projects are currently in the prequalification or bidding phase in Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. However, this also results in high bidding costs.
STRABAG pursues projects on several continents – on the one hand, because certain construction technologies can be offered competitively around the world; on the other hand, as a way of diversifying its own risk. This is currently proving to be of benefit in the field of tunnelling: here the demand in the STRABAG home markets of Germany and Austria, as well as in Switzerland, is low, and the market prices have reached an inacceptable level. Furthermore, the market for infrastructure has completely collapsed in South-East Europe.
While the PPP infrastructure business has in the past few months been mainly successful in northern Europe, STRABAG is working with PPP projects in building construction primarily in its home markets of Germany and Austria. On the one hand, this form of financing widens the public sector's scope of action; on the other hand, the consequences of the financial crisis – significantly higher interest premiums and liquidity costs with a trend to shorter financing terms – are having an inhibitory effect.
In 2012, STRABAG would like to expand its geographic presence regarding proprietary project developments in building construction – which are currently found mainly in Germany – to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe. The demand for real estate in Germany is expected to remain stable in the coming year. A repeat of the high transaction level of the previous year will not least depend on the financing environment. STRABAG remains focused on commercial properties in the mid-double-digit million euro range, including offices, business real estate and hotels. At the same time, STRA-BAG has since the previous year been driving ahead the development of residential buildings for global investors.
In the property and facility services business, STRABAG sees a positive order situation. The planned reduction in the volume of orders from key account Deutsche Telekom could be compensated through contracts with new clients.
Effective 1 January 2011, the business fields of Offshore Wind – Construction Operations and of Special Foundation Engineering were moved from the Special Divisions & Concessions segment to the Transportation Infrastructures segment. The comparison values for the previous year for order backlog, employees, output volume and earnings were adjusted accordingly. In the 2011 financial year, these two business fields contributed € 255.87 million to the output volume and € 263.77 million to the order backlog and employed 840 people.

The STRABAG Group is subject to a number of risks in the course of its business activities. These risks are identified and assessed using an active risk management system and dealt with using an appropriate risk policy.
The group's goals are defined at all company levels. This was a prerequisite to setting up processes for the timely identification of potential risks standing in the way of the achievement of company objectives. The organisation of STRABAG's risk management builds on project-related jobsite and acquisitions controlling, supplemented by the higher-level assessment and steering management. The risk controlling process includes a certified quality management system, internal group guidelines for the workflow in the operating units, a central administration, controlling, auditing and contract management. Through the establishment of company-wide quality standards in quotation processing and supplemental services management, the centrally organised contract management department can better assert claims for outstanding debt.
The group's internal risk report defines the following central risk groups:
The entire construction industry is subject to cyclical fluctuations and reacts to varying degrees depending on region and sector. Overall economic growth, development of the construction market, the competitive situation, the conditions on the capital markets and technological changes in construction can all result in risks. These risks are continually observed and monitored by the central departments and operating units. Changes in external risks lead to adjustments in STRABAG's organisation, market presence and range of services as well as the adaptation of strategic and operating planning. STRABAG further responds to market risk with geographic and product-related diversification in order to keep the influence on the company's success exerted by an individual market or by the demand for certain services as low as possible. To avoid bearing the entire risk of rising prices by itself, STRABAG makes efforts at signing cost escalation clauses and "cost-plus-fee" contracts in which the client pays a previously agreed margin on the costs of the project.
The operating risks primarily include the complex risks of project selection and execution. STRABAG keeps acquisition lists in order to review the project choice. Business transactions requiring consent are reviewed and approved by business unit and subdivision managers or by division managers according to internal rules of procedure. Depending on the risk profile, bids of € 2 million or more must be analysed by commissions and reviewed for their technical and economic feasibility. Cost accounting and expense allocation guidelines have been set up to assure a uniform process of costing and to establish a performance profile at our construction sites. Project execution is managed by the construction team on site and controlled by monthly target/ performance comparisons; at the same time, our central controlling provides constant commercial backing, ensuring that risks of individual projects do not endanger the continuance of the company.
Under financial risks, STRABAG understands risks in financial matters and in accounting, including instances of manipulation. Special attention is paid to our liquidity and accounting receivables management, which is secured through continuous financial planning and daily status reports. Compliance with internal commercial guidelines is guaranteed by the central accounting and controlling departments, which are also responsible for internal reporting and the periodic planning process.
Risks from possible instances of manipulation (acceptance of advantages, fraud, deception or other infringements of the law) are monitored by all business areas in general and by the internal audit department in particular. STRABAG last commissioned PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH in 2007 to review and assess the group's compliance systems and the activities designed to combat corruption and unethical behaviour. The results were presented to the management board of STRABAG SE and the auditors' recommendations were passed on to the relevant departments for implementation.
In order to convey STRABAG's values and principles, the group drew up its Code of Ethics and internal Compliance Guidelines in 2007. The values and principles contained within these documents are reflected in the guidelines and instructions of the STRABAG companies and divisions. Compliance with these values and principles is expected not only from the members of the management and supervisory boards as well as from other management-level employees but from all group employees. The Compliance Guidelines and the Code of Ethics are designed to guarantee honest and ethical business practices. The Code of Ethics is available for download at www.strabag.com -> Investor Relations -> Corporate Governance -> Code of Ethics.
Detailed information regarding interest risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk can be found in the Notes under point 26 Financial Instruments.
Risks concerning the design of personnel contracts are covered by the central personnel department with the support of a specialised data base. The company's IT configuration and infrastructure (hardware and software) is handled by the central IT department, controlled by the international IT steering committee.
Past experience has shown that having a highly qualified and motivated workforce is an important factor in competition. In order to properly assess the potential of employees, STRABAG uses an IT-supported aptitude diagnostics process, the so-called behaviour profile analysis. In subsequent feedback talks and employee appraisal interviews, employees and their supervisors analyse the results and agree on specific training and further education measures.
STRABAG can exert influence on the management of associated companies through its shareholder position and, if applicable, any existing advisory functions. The shares in asphalt and concrete mixing companies usually involve minority holdings, which is typical for the sector. With these companies, economies of scope are at the fore.
The group also operates in countries which experience political instability. Interruptions of construction activity, restrictions on ownership interests of foreign investors, and even dispossession or expropriations could be the consequence of political changes which could have an impact on the group's financial structure.
A review of the current risk situation reveals that the reporting period shows no risks which jeopardised the company's existence, nor were there any visible future risks.
REPORT ON KEY FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPOR-TING PROCESS
The control structure as defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) provides the basis for the description of the key features of the internal control and risk management systems. The COSO framework consists of five related components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring.
The aim of the internal control system is to support management in such a way that it is capable of assuring internal controls in relation to financial reporting which are effective and which are improved on an ongoing basis. The system is geared to the compliance with rules and regulations and to creating conditions which are conducive to performing specific controls in key accounting processes.
The corporate culture determines the control environment in which management and employees operate. STRABAG is constantly working to improve its communication and to convey its corporate values as defined in the STRABAG Code of Ethics in order to guarantee moral standards, ethics and integrity within the company and in our dealings with others.
The implementation of the internal control system in relation to the financial reporting process is done on the basis of internal rules and guidelines. Responsibilities for internal control were adapted to fit the corporate organisation.
The internal audit department carries out periodic, unannounced inspections of all relevant business units as part of its responsibility for monitoring compliance with the law and corporate guidelines in the technical and commercial areas. The internal audit department also monitors the effectiveness of the compliance organisation. During these inspections, the internal audit department analyses the legality and correctness of individual actions. The internal audit department also conducts regular, independent reviews of compliance with internal guidelines in the area of accounting. The head of the internal audit department reports directly to the CEO.
The management identifies and monitors risks relating to the financial reporting process, with a focus on those risks that are typically considered to be material.
The preparation of the financial statements requires regular forecasts, with the inherent risk that the actual future development will deviate from the forecast. This especially affects the following matters/items of the consolidated financial statements: assessment of unfinished construction projects, recognition and measurement of provisions (including social capital), the outcome of legal disputes, the collectability of receivables as well as the recoverability of investments and goodwill. In individual cases, external experts are called in or publicly available sources are considered in order to minimise the risk of a false assessment.
All control activities are applied in the current business process to ensure that errors or deviations in financial reporting are prevented or detected and subsequently corrected. The control activities range from a management review of the period results to specific monitoring of accounts to the analysis of ongoing accounting processes.
It is the responsibility of the management to design the levels of hierarchy in such a way that an activity and the control of that activity are not performed by the same person ("four-eyes" principle).
IT security control activities represent a cornerstone of the internal control system. The separation of sensitive activities is supported by a restrictive approach to IT access authorisation. For its accounting and financial reporting, the company mainly uses self-developed software which reflects the unique features of the construction sector. The effectiveness of the financial reporting system is further assured through automated IT controls included in the system.
The management regularly updates the rules and regulations for financial reporting and communicates them to all employees concerned. Regular discussions regarding the financial reporting and the rules and regulations in this context take place in various committees. These committees are composed of the corporate management as well as the department head and senior staff from the accounting department. The committee's work aims, amongst others, at guaranteeing compliance with accounting rules and regulations and to identifying and communicating weak points and potential areas for improvement in the financial reporting process. Accounting employees receive regular training regarding new methods of national and international financial reporting in order to identify risks of unintended misreporting at an early stage.
The management and supervisory boards bear responsibility for the ongoing company-wide monitoring. Additionally, the remaining management levels – all the way to the department heads – are responsible for the monitoring of their respective areas of responsibility. Controls and plausibility checks are carried out at regular intervals. The internal audit department is also involved in the monitoring process.
The top management receives monthly summary financial reports on the development of the output volume, the results of the respective segments and countries, and the liquidity. Financial statements to be published are submitted for final appraisal by the senior accounting staff and the commercial management board members before they are passed on to the audit committee of the supervisory board.
In the past financial year, STRABAG employed an average of 76,866 employees, of which 32,033 were white-collar and 44,833 were blue-collar workers. In the Building Construction & Civil Engineering segment, the number of employees grew by 11 % to about 20,300; in the Transportation Infrastructures segment, the employee level increased by 2 % to about 31,600; in the Special Divisions & Concessions segment, the number of employees remained nearly unchanged at around 19,300.
To assure effective, long-term personnel development, STRABAG has at its disposal a number of centrally standardised programmes and IT-supported tools and manages and monitors their application (e.g. applicant and training management systems, employee database, aptitude diagnostic analyses, group academy, trainee programme). The operating management employees, as human resource decision-makers, make use of these during the regular employee appraisal interview as a central management instrument to agree employee objectives that are targeted to the employee's specific field and career and which are in line with their personal skills and qualifications. In the recruitment process, the management is assisted by personnel representatives in the individual countries using the same aforementioned tools and instruments.
For a long time, cost optimisation was seen as a strategic guiding principle for competitiveness in the building business. But building requires a broad spectrum of technologies and know-how in order to come up with technically convincing solutions. The group specifically promotes all those innovation activities which help projects to be executed more efficiently and with a higher level of quality. The aim is to implement research and development projects in cooperation with the operating divisions in order to more quickly bring additional know-how to the construction site. Countless interdisciplinary development projects are ongoing every year.
Zentrale Technik (ZT), the group's central technical department, bundles the group's technical know-how and is in overall charge during the acquisition, planning and implementation of research and development projects. Organised as a central division with over 630 highly qualified employees at 18 locations, ZT reports directly to the CEO.
The department provides services for the group-wide support of the operating units in the areas of tunnelling and civil engineering, construction engineering and turnkey construction. The range of services covers the entire construction process, from the early acquisitions phase and bids processing to execution planning and site management. Research and development activities include the areas of building and construction physics, software, information & communication technology, energy, construction materials technology, civil engineering and tunnelling, transportation infrastructures and safety. ZT also fosters international innovation networks.
As a technology leader in all areas of turnkey construction, we emphasise sustainable construction that requires comprehensive solutions, with a special focus on energy efficiency in the building life cycle. Life-cycle assessment plays a central role here and was extended to all group products and processes in 2011. This will serve both to address increasing customer demands for sustainability and to better identify the efficiency potential as regards resource needs in general and energy needs in particular.
A central topic for the innovation activities is that of renewable energy, the results of which find far-reaching applications: from biogas and biomass facilities to gas, electricity and heat generation to the construction of hydropower stations and wind energy converters. We are also working on the development of offshore wind turbines and on the storage technology necessary for the use of renewable energy.
In traditional building construction, some of the high-rises built in recent years show how optimisations in construction and building materials are giving planners and estimators a new sense of flexibility. Methods are also being developed to better understand material ageing using state-of-the-art sensor technologies.
A great deal of attention has recently been given to the development of "5D planning" in construction. 5D is the group's Building Information Model (BIM), which stands for the model-based, integrative work of all project participants across all project phases.
TPA Gesellschaft für Qualitätssicherung und Innovation (TPA Company for Quality Assurance and Innovation) is STRABAG's competence centre for quality management. Its activities include research and development related to building materials production, as well as materials inspections, job safety, and environment- and waste-related matters. Together with the management of the operating units, ZT and TPA, as internal competence centres, have as their goal the extension of the group's competitive advantage through technical and high-quality solutions while sustaining the natural resources at the same time.
The STRABAG Group's EFKON AG subsidiary provides the group with expertise in the research and development of intelligent transportation systems in general and electronic toll collection solutions in particular. In recent years, EFKON has engaged in some very successful activities in the field of Car2Car communications, especially as a result of its cooperation in EU research projects.
Another focus of the activities is on toll enforcement. Developments include a new product to help the Austrian motorway authority ASFINAG automatically enforce toll stickers in Austria, as well as a portable DSRC-based toll monitoring unit to enforce the toll for trucks on German motorways.
During the 2011 financial year, the STRABAG Group spent about € 15 million (2010: € 14 million) on research, development and innovation activities.
The construction industry traditionally is an energy- and resource-intensive sector. And every building is an intrusion into the natural environment. For us, ecological responsibility begins with the planning of buildings and structures and continues through to their erection and related services. Thus, we are, for example, involved in the development of certification systems from an early stage and are constantly working to increase the number of high-quality buildings on the market.
In order to prepare ourselves for these developments, we are making efforts to minimise CO2 emissions and energy use at an early stage in our activities. This affects our process of value creation as well as our entire range of products. For this reason, we are shifting our focus toward innovative products, in particular within the field of renewable energy. Through the constant development of new technologies, it is our aim to steadily increase the STRABAG product portfolio. At the same time, we are working to develop and enhance the right methods and tools to control our impact on the environment.
In the area of procurement, we strive for the efficient and responsible management of the supply chain with respect to economic, environmental and social aspects. It is important for us that suppliers fulfil certain pre-defined criteria. We want to ensure a resource-friendly use of energy and raw materials in the preparation and delivery of our services.

At the beginning of March 2009, an accident occurred during underground construction at the South Lot for the North-South urban metro line in Cologne, resulting in the collapse of the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne and significant portions of two neighbouring buildings. Debris collapsed into a hole which opened next to the North-South construction site at the Waidmarkt crossover junction. Two people were trapped under the rubble, and rescuers were only able to recover their bodies.
Construction on the underground is being carried out by a joint venture (JV) of Bilfinger Berger SE (formerly Bilfinger Berger AG), Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG and Ed. Züblin AG. The JV is led by Bilfinger Berger SE on the technical side and by Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG on the commercial side. Ed. Züblin AG holds a 33.3 % interest in the JV.
The cause of the collapse remains unknown. The public prosecutor's office began an investigation with three of its experts into possible negligent homicide and endangerment in construction. Initially, the investigation was limited to independent proceedings conducted at the District Court in Cologne to collect evidence as to the cause of the accident. Now a model building is being built to help determine the cause, with completion expected around the end of 2013. In June 2011, the City of Cologne filed to extend the court's evidence collection to include the aspect of the damage amount. In November 2011, the District Court in Cologne, at the behest of the City of Cologne, appointed another expert to determine the damage amount. We continue to believe that the incident will not result in any significant damages for the company.
Business transactions with related parties are described in item 28 of the Notes.
Thanks to STRABAG's successful strategy of regional diversification and the related diversification of risk, the consequences from the euro debt crisis have so far not resulted in any lost output for the group. On the contrary: the company registered double-digit growth in the year 2011. Based on the balanced business in terms of regions and segments, STRABAG SE expects the output for the 2012 financial year to remain unchanged at € 14.3 billion.
The forecast by segment is as follows: Building Construction & Civil Engineering € 5.5 billion (2011: € 5.1 billion), Transportation Infrastructures € 6.1 billion (€ 6.7 billion), Special Division & Concessions € 2.6 billion (€ 2.3 billion) and Other € 100 million. STRABAG assumes to be able to compensate the expected considerable declines in Poland through output growth in several other countries.
Due to the ongoing process of working off earlier orders, the lack of public-sector infrastructure investments in Europe did not yet affect output in the 2011 financial year, although a negative effect on returns could be seen above all in the Transportation Infrastructures segment. STRABAG expects a continued unfavourable environment for transportation infrastructures in 2012. An additional burden will be the weakened demand for construction in Poland after the European Football Championship. On the other hand, STRABAG expects to see continued solid business in the German building construction and civil engineering segment, as well as improved results in niche markets such as railway construction or environmental technology.
Detailed outlook in the segment reports
Even if uncertainties regarding the actual economic environment – economic growth in the individual markets, the amount of public spending, and the financing environment for our clients – make planning difficult, STRABAG is targeting an EBIT of more than € 300 million and therefore relatively stable results for the 2012 financial year.
STRABAG makes these forecasts on the assumption that the economic framework in Europe will remain unchanged in the coming year. This means that the financing environment for our private and industrial clients should not worsen further, conversely, however, that a rapid recovery of the conditions or a significant increase in government spending cannot be expected in the STRABAG core markets.
No significant events occurred after the close of the financial year.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements, including the accounting system, of
for the fiscal year from January 1 to December 31, 2011. These financial statements comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, the income statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and the notes.
The Company's management is responsible for the accounting system and for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and Austrian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with professional guidelines and that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our audit did not give rise to any objections. In our opinion, which is based on the results of our audit, the financial statements comply with legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and of its financial performance for the year from January 1 to December 31, 2011 in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Pursuant to statutory provisions, the management report is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the financial statements and as to whether the other disclosures are not misleading with respect to the Company's position. The auditor's report also has to contain a statement as to whether the management report is consistent with the financial statements and whether the disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.
In our opinion, the management report is consistent with the financial statements. The disclosures pursuant to Section 243a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code) are appropriate.
