Financial Analysis

Net income reached € 22.1 million in the first three quarters of 2008, € 14.2 million of which attributable to the GROUP. Net income would have reached € 24.8 million in the first nine months of 2008 were not for the capital loss of Martifer, approximately the same figure of the previous year (2007: € 24.7 million).

It is worth mentioning that the GROUP's financial statements were produced taking into consideration the change in the consolidation method of Group Martifer, from proportional to equity consolidation as a result of the Initial Public Offering of the above mentioned company and following MOTA-ENGIL GROUP's shareholding dilution from 50% to 37.5%. As a result, the financial statements are pro-forma, thus corresponding to an equity consolidation of Martifer in that year.

Turnover grew 39% in the first nine months of 2008 to € 1,361 million (2007: € 979 million).

As was already the case in the first half of the year, all divisions grew significantly, mainly Construction with a 47% growth in turnover, year-on-year. Environment & Services' turnover grew 19%, partly due to the incorporation of new companies and businesses. At last, Transport Concessions' turnover grew 7% despite an adverse macro scenario and higher fuel prices that affected traffic.

EBITDA grew to € 208.2 million (2007: € 182.8 million) and the margin slipped to 15.3 % (2007: 18.7%).

The aforementioned margin reduction was due to a business mix effect, where the Construction division increased its relative weight as well as margin compression in the latter division.

Net consolidated capital expenditure reached, from January to September, € 192.2 million (2007: € 165 million), € 147.5 million of which in tangible fixed assets (2007: € 136 million) and € 44.7 million in financial investments (2007: € 23 million).

The Construction division absorbed 45% of total capital expenditure, namely due to the substantial acquisitions of equipment. It is worth noting that most of the investment was funnelled to foreign countries, reflecting the execution of the growth strategy in both Central Europe and Africa.

In the Transport Concessions' division, the GROUP has been investing in LusoLisboa concession and in Perote-Xalapa concession, in Mexico. In the former case, the concessionaire is pursuing construction works in accordance with the concession contract. In the case of the latter concession, following the initial investment in order to capitalise the concessionaire, construction works of the 60 kms of motorways started already and will last 24 months.

Capital expenditure in the Environment & Services' division was mainly related to the expansion of the Aveiro port, the construction of a cereals' terminal and the capital expenditure made by the concessionaires of water sewage and distribution of Feira and Matosinhos.

Net debt reached € 1,873 million, € 950 million of which is non-recourse. As far non-recourse debt is concerned, € 914 million related to Transport Concessions and € 36 million to Environment & Services.

Note: Net Income of 2007 without capital gain in Martifer

As a consequence of the high level of capital expenditure of the first nine months of 2008, mainly in the Construction division, net debt (mainly recourse debt) increased. The GROUP managed to raise funds to finance the projects, mainly in foreign markets, that fit its strategy and that present the most attractive profitability, in accordance with its strategic goals.

Despite the significantly higher interest rates and the increase in the stock of debt, net financial expenses only increased by approximately one million euro (2008: € 89.4 million; 2007: € 88.5 million). Net interest charges increased however to € 83.9 million (2007: € 75.4 million).

Income from companies consolidated through the equity method was of € 7.2 million as compared to € 14.1 million in 2007 due to Martifer's lower contribution (that included a nonrecurring income in 2007).

Backlog reached € 2.2 billion at the end of the third quarter, € 310 million higher than the figure reported as of December 2007.

The above mentioned performance was due to a stronger backlog in foreign markets and in Environment & Services.

Backlog of the Environment & Services division only includes contracts in waste management. The GROUP does not, therefore, include the estimated turnover of water sewage and distribution concessions, port's management or Transport Concessions.

Despite the strong increase in turnover, it is our expectation that the backlog will keep on a similar track as that of the previous quarters in light of the strong demand felt in some markets where the Group has operations and where it aims at replicating its diversification strategy, whenever possible, as the one pursued in Portugal.

Business Analysis

The GROUP'S turnover had the

following breakdown: Construction, € 1.062.2 million (2007: € 720.6 million), Environment & Services € 214.2 million (2007: € 180.6 million) and Transport Concessions € 83.7 million (2007: € 78.1 million).

Unlike in 2007, the contribution of the Construction division (78%) increased in the first nine months of 2008 due to the significant increase in turnover (+ 47%) as compared to Environment & Services (+ 19%) and Transport Concessions (+ 7%).

As far as EBITDA is concerned, the performance was similar. The Construction division's weight increased to 40% (2007: 37%), Environment & Services (positively affected by the disposal of a land plot not related to the operating activity) had a 24% contribution (2007: 21%). The relative weight of Transport Concessions, 36%, was slightly lower than that of the same period of last year (2007: 38%).

In the following sections we provide a detailed analysis of the performance of each division of the GROUP in the first nine months of 2008.

Turnover 0 200 400 600 800 1 000 1 200 2006 2007 2008 Ebitda 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 2006 2007 2008

Engineering & Construction

Turnover of the Construction division climbed 47% year-on-year to € 1,062.2 million in the first nine months of 2008 (2007: € 720.6 million), confirming the pick up in activity of the first half year.

Growth occurred in all segments though turnover grew more meaningfully in Central Europe and Angola, more than doubling year-on-year.

Turnover in Portugal increased 15%, from € 438 million to € 503.9 million in the above mentioned period, a performance broadly in line with the one reported in the first half of the current year.

Angola's activity keeps on growing at a good pace. MOTA-ENGIL GROUP's presence has been constantly broadened. In the first nine months of the current year, turnover climbed 146% to € 211.7 million (2007: € 86.1 million).

In Central Europe, the friendlier business environment already mentioned in the first half results report was preserved in the following three months of the current year. Turnover rose by 114% to € 308.2 million (2007: € 143.8 million).

It is however important to mention that the EBITDA margin was eroded when compared to the same period of 2007 not only because of the non-recurring receivable from Angola accounted in 2007 but also due to an adverse market environment, mainly in Portugal.

Environment & Services

The performance of the Environment & Services division had a positive evolution in the first nine months of the year as was the case in the same period of last year. Turnover reached € 214.2 million as compared to € 180.6 million in the same period of the previous year (+ 19%).

The logistics segment remained the bigger within the division. Turnover grew 9% year-on-year to € 107.2 million. The decision to enter this segment has proven to be very successful and offers good prospects to continue to grow in businesses related to the value chain of logistics.

All the other segments of the division had double digit turnover growth rates, also positively affected by the incorporation of new companies.

In the waste management segment, the integration of the NOVAFLEX GROUP reinforced SUMA GROUP's leadership. On the other hand, following the acquisition of TRIU, the GROUP further strengthened its presence in the industrial waste treatment segment.

In the water and sewage segment the main event was that the Matosinhos concession started operations. Because of the size of this concession, the water and sewage segment will become more relevant within the division.

The operating performance was likewise positive. EBITDA was of € 50.3 million (2007: € 39.1 million) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 23.5%, an improvement of approximately 200 basis points when compared to 2007 (21.6).

Transport Concessions

The turnover of the Transport Concessions' division reached € 83.7 million and EBITDA € 75.6 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 90.3%.

In the first nine months of the current year, traffic grew in all concessions as compared to the same period of last year, reflecting that the learning curve effect offset the contraction effect from higher fuel prices and the adverse macro environment.

BEIRAS LITORAL E ALTA remained the concession that most contributed to the division's figures, with a turnover of € 110 million in the first nine months of the year, up 4% year-on-year.

The traffic level of COSTA DE PRATA concession was roughly stable (it only grew 2%) but in line with the GROUP's expectations. The completion of the network that will occur with the construction of the "stretch 4" in 2009, together with the connection with the A17 motorway in Mira, will be of crucial importance to further improve the concession's traffic level.

As expected, traffic recovered in CONCESSÃO DO NORTE, with a 4% increase as compared to the same period of the previous year, leading to a turnover of € 36 million.

As far as GRANDE PORTO concession is concerned, turnover was of € 48 million, up 18% yearon-year (though only from February to September in 2007).

During the first half of the year, as a result of the partnership between MOTA-ENGIL and Espírito Santo Group, the financial stakes both groups had in this area started to be transferred to ASCENDI.

Stock price performance and dividends

Although MOTA-ENGIL's stock price outperformed most of the main stock indices in the first half of the year, the stock fell heavily during the third quarter in light of the financial crisis that deepened in the referred quarter. The level of turnover in the stock was however quite high.

The General Shareholders' Meeting held in March 28th, 2008 decided, according to the Board of Directors proposal, to pay a dividend per share of € cents 11, payable from April 28th.
