(*) After impact of IFRS 11: joint ventures integrated based on equity method (accounting view) (**) Before impact of IFRS 11: joint ventures integrated proportionaly (economic view)

Figures of DEME at 100% Order book remains strong: 2,806 million EUR (compared with 3,049 million EUR end 2013). Despite the high level of activity, DEME managed to maintain its order book at a fairly high level thanks to new orders, well spread worldwide across dredging, energy related and environmental activities including :

  • a contract for the construction of the approach channel and harbour basin for new LNG terminal in Yamal (Russia). Works will be executed in different phases over the years 2014 till 2017.
  • new contracts for installing windmill parks off the German North Sea coast.
  • Activity remains strong (+10%) and is growing in most areas. The "core" dredging activity keeps growing as a result of the execution of major projects in Australia, while the activity of GeoSea is boosted by windmill installation works in the North Sea.
  • EBITDA Combined increases with +19% reaching 16.5% margin as a result from the growing level of activity boosted by dredging projects in Wheatstone and in Doha, and by windmill farm installation in the German North sea (Borkum Riffgrund).
  • Net financial debt decreases with -22% due to the strong cash flow from operations and to the lower level of CAPEX during 1HY 2014. New investments are currently being considered.

(*) Restated figures after impact of IFRS 11

(**) Including the share in the result of associated companies

  • Real estate activity remains mainly focussed on residential projects, a market that remained steady during 1HY 2014.
  • EBIT amounts to 0.7 million EUR (compared to 1.3 million EUR in 1HY2013). This lower level of EBIT is mainly explained by the impairment recorded on a land located in Luxembourg.
  • Capital employed is decreasing (reaching 147 million EUR) mainly resulting from:
  • The sale of all office space in the "Belview" project (Brussels).
  • The successful commercialization of residential projects Bettembourg (Luxembourg), Oosteroever (Belgium) and Gdanks II (Poland).

(*) Figure excluding the order book of ETEC as this entity has been transferred to the Rail & Road division as from 2014.

Project Tour & Taxis (VMA)

Order book decreased with -11.4% during 1HY 2014 reaching 129 million EUR due to falling orders at Nizet, VMA West and in the HVAC business, partly compensated by the growing order book of VMA resulting from the expansion of its industrial and infrastructure department.

Revenue increased with 10.9% reaching 86 million EUR

  • Growth of the activity at VMA and Ariadne both continuing to expand their international activities in the UK, Sweden and Hungary for car manufacturers.
  • Growth of the activity of Nizet, stimulated by international activities in Vietnam.
  • EBIT increased to +1.9 million EUR compared to -6.1 million EUR during 1HY 2013 resulting from :
  • Downsizing measures at VMA West to cope with elements having generated significant losses in 2013.
  • Performance of VMA remaining very good.

Liefkenshoek railtunnel (Stevens)

Order book decreasing slightly reaching 80 million EUR mainly driven by decreasing orders in road activity and in railway signaling activity at Stevens.

There are however still some large rail contracts at tender stage.

  • Revenues increased with 15.6% (+1.8% taking into consideration the transfer of ETEC to the Rail & Road division as from 2014) reaching 51 million EUR mainly driven by the growth of railway activity at ENGEMA.
  • EBIT increased with 57% from 1.4 million EUR in 1HY 2013 to 2.2 million EUR in 1HY 2014 mainly due to additional works and claims having been approved by clients during 1HY 2014 in both the railway activity as in the road activity.
