Consolidated Management Report
The GROUP'S consolidated financial statements were prepared taking into account the change in the method of consolidation of Industry and Energy business area from proportional to equity consolidation.
Turnover reached € 384 million in the first quarter of 2008, a growth rate of 35% over the same period of last year (2007: € 284 million).
Top line growth in the three divisions explained the turnover above mentioned performance: Engineering & Construction (40%), Environment & Services (22%) and Transport concessions (21%).
In Engineering & Construction, it was the Central Europe segment that most contributed to the growth in turnover (2007: € 33.9 million; 2008: € 72.3 million) followed by the Angolan segment (2007: € 26.9 million; 2008 € 47.8 million).
Activity in Poland was the main responsible for the Central Europe segment performance in the quarter.
EBITDA was around € 59.4 million (2007: € 52.8 million) resulting in an EBITDA margin of 15.5% (2007: 18.6%). This growth was due to the contribution of the Transport concessions division with an EBITDA of € 24.1 million compared to € 20.7 million disclosed in the similar period of the previous year and Environment & Services (2008: € 18.1 million; 2007: € 10.3 million).
Capital expenditure in the first quarter amounted to approximately € 87.7 million, an increase of € 23.7 million year on year and for the most part made in fixed assets. Transport concessions expected investment and a higher level of capex in Engineering & Construction division were the main contributors.
Capex in Transport concessions can be explained almost entirely by the investment made in the Mexico and Grande Lisboa concessions. As regards Engineering & Construction, the increase in capex came as a result of the positive development presented by the backlog.
Group's Net debt amounted to € 1,792 million of which € 886 million of recourse and € 905 million of non recourse debt.
Regarding the non recourse debt, it is almost exclusively related to the Transport concessions area (€ 882 million), the balance coming from Environment & Services (€ 23 million).
Net debt grew over the same period of last year (2007: total debt € 1,662 million), following the behaviour of capital expenditure.
The net financial income deteriorated reaching a negative figure of € 29 million compared to € 25.2 million on the same period of 2007. Besides the increase in debt, interest rates rose in the first quarter of this year also contributing to the deterioration of net financial income.
The net profit attributable to the GROUP reached € 2.2 million, compared to € 2.5 million in the same period of last year.
Backlog slightly increased in the first quarter compared to December 2007 to around € 2 billion, which confirms the recovery trend that started last year.

This recovery has been achieved mainly through contracts in international markets which shows the GROUP'S strong commitment on internationalisation.
The increasing weight of Central Europe segment in the GROUP's backlog (December 2007:20%; March 2008:24%), put now its contribution very close to the weight of the Angolan market (23%).
It is worth mentioning that in Central Europe it is the increasing activity in Poland that stands out the most.
The first quarter of 2008 was relatively unusual since the Engineering & Construction division inverted the trend of losing weight of recent past quarters. By registering its best quarter ever, Engineering & Construction increased its relevance in the activity of the GROUP to 77%.
Each business division increased its contribution to Turnover: Engineering & Construction, € 295.2 million (2007: € 210.8 million), Environment & Services, € 62.1 million (2007: € 51 million) and Transport concessions € 26.4 million (2007: € 21.8 million).
In terms of contribution to the GROUP's operating profitability, the Transport Concessions division, with its excellent operating margins, represents 41% of total EBITDA.
The analysis of each business division's performance follows.
Turnover of Engineering & Construction division reached € 295.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 (2007: € 210.8 million), resulting in a growth of 40% over the first quarter of 2007.
Turnover in Portugal grew around 20%, confirming previous expectations of growth for the whole year, already reflecting the backlog improvement since the last months of 2007.
The performance of the Angolan market has been very positive, the GROUP having recorded another quarter of strong activity in this country despite facing increasingly aggressive competition. Given the first quarter of 2007 and despite the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, the contribution of Angolan activity to the turnover grew 77%.
In the other countries of Africa and America we must highlight the shrinking of residential construction in the United States, which, however, is offset by the contribution of Malawi and Mozambique.
In Central Europe, turnover grew outstandingly due to very favourable weather conditions, more than doubling the figure reported in the first quarter of 2007. This result encourages the strategy to grow and strengthen the GROUP's operations in these countries even in a context of still negative operating margins.
EBITDA margin fell from 10.3% in the first quarter of 2007 to 5.5% in the first quarter of 2008. However, in 2007, EBITDA was positively affected by an extraordinary gain related to receivables from the Angolan State. Without this effect the EBTIDA margin recorded a positive development in all segments of this division.
Turnover in the Environment & Services division grew 22% to € 62.1 million (2007: € 51 million).
Even without significant contribution from TAKARGO RAIL, the Logistics segment is the most important, having grown 25% in the first quarter of 2008, with the port concessions business outpacing our best expectations.
The Waste segment grew by 16% for which contributed the recent acquisition, by Suma, of NOVAFLEX and its affiliated companies.
In the Water segment, the new concessions of INDAQUA in Matosinhos and Vila do Conde, did not yet have operational contribution, so the reported Turnover growth rate of 10% only referred to the previously consolidated concessions.
The Multi-Services segment turnover remains relatively low but the operational performance in this quarter is the outcome of a strategy of aggressive growth. Indeed, this segment's turnover grew in excess of 74% when compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Concessão Norte Costa de Prata Beiras Litoral e Alta Grande Porto
In the first quarter of 2008 all GROUP concessionaires recorded significant increases in traffic and turnover.
COSTA DE PRATA concession experienced an increase in turnover of 7%. The construction of the section between Estarreja and A25 (usually referred to as "Lote 4") is progressing and will enter into operation in 2009. The concession will benefit from the completion of the network and traffic is thus expected to approach the base case scenario.
Traffic growth of the GRANDE PORTO and BEIRAS LITORAL E ALTA was very high, however we should point out that the first quarter 2007 figure was quite low as it was the first quarter of operation of these concessions.
Traffic in the NORTE concession is recovering noticeably, with turnover growing 20% when compared with the same period of last year.
In this quarter, MOTA-ENGIL started investing in the Mexican concession recently won by the consortium integrated by MOTA-ENGIL. Construction will last 24 months, between 2008 and 2010, for an investment in the infrastructure of € 180 million. The project involves, in addition, an initial payment to the grantor of € 209 million.
At the same time, the outcome of the tenders for concessions D1 Slovakia, Poland A1, Hungary M6, and in Portugal, Transmontana, Douro Interior and Baixo Alentejo is still pending.
MOTA-ENGIL'S share price maintained a recovery trend, outperforming the main stock indexes.
The General shareholders meeting held on March 28th, 2008 approved the Board's proposal to pay a dividend of 11 cents per share in April 28 th.
