Focus on Portugal and Poland with stricter cost control as a priority

  • E&C Turnover in Portugal was up 18% YoY to €188 mn, with EBITDA margin at 6%, slight negatively impacted by higher cost and labour inflation, which is expected to be compensated in the 2H22 by price revision mechanisms
  • Private contracts with price inflation clauses and public contracts in Portugal which benefit from the recent law approved by the Government, are protected from inflation risk, but are still cautiously managed on a project-by-project basis
  • In Poland Turnover was impacted by the very selective criteria in project tendering and pricing due to the uncertainty and strong volatility in commodity prices in the region
  • Backlog was €974 mn, with very good visibility and prospects mainly in Portugal, where the European Recovery Plan is expected to boost activity in the upcoming years
  • Divestment in January 2022 of the UK and Ireland businesses, thus allowing for a greater focus in the main and more profitable markets, in line with the Strategic Plan goals
