ORDERS RECEIVED / QUARTER € million

OUTPUT VOLUME AND EBITA MARGIN ADJUSTED / QUARTER

• Orders received: 5 percent below the prior-year figure (organically 0 percent). At Industrial, increase of 3 percent in what remains a demanding market environment, client confidence strengthened through improved customer orientation and market-oriented service offerings. Orders received at Power, on the other hand, declined significantly as a result of weakness in home markets. In view of the competitive and price pressures, highly selective approach in the German and international project business.
• Order backlog: Decrease of 19 percent (organically -15 percent).
• Output volume: Decrease of 20 percent (organically -16 percent). Both segments declined as expected: Industrial as a result of lower project volume as well as the market situation in the oil and gas sector, Power primarily due to less business in home markets and a highly selective approach in the German and international project business in the wake of competitive and price pressures.
• EBITA adjusted / adjusted net profit from continuing operations: Increase despite lower EBITA in the Industrial segment. Improved in the Power business segment, positive effects from capacity adjustments and lower project losses, falling orders received will, however, lead to decreasing utilization in some units.
• Net profit: Significant improvement as compared to the prior-year figure. Includes a capital gain in the amount of €539 million from the sale of the Building, Facility Services and Real Estate divisions. This was countered by burdens primarily from restructuring expenses and losses incurred in the course of streamlining the portfolio.
• Adjusted cash flow from operating activities: Despite lower funds released in working capital, above comparable figure due to higher adjusted EBITA.
• Investments in property, plant and equipment: Slight increase, remains at low level.
• Employees: In Germany, a decrease in the number of employees of 12 percent to 9,119 (previous year: 10,403), outside Germany by 14 percent to 29,315 (previous year: 34,080).

Change in the Executive Board

The Supervisory Board of Bilfinger SE appointed Dr. Klaus Patzak Member of the Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer with effect from October 1, 2016. He succeeds Axel Salzmann, whose request for an early termination of his contract as Member of the Executive Board as of September 30, 2016 and to step down from the position of Chief Financial Officer was accepted by the Supervisory Board of Bilfinger SE.

Consolidated balance sheet (abridged Version)

Assets

Non-current assets: Increase as a result of non-cash purchase price components from the sale of the Building, Facility Services and Real Estate divisions (vendor note: €100 million, preferred participation note: €195 million).

7

• Current assets: Increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of the sale of the Building, Facility Services and Real Estate divisions; net liquidity amounts to €530 million.

Consolidated statement of cash flows (abridged version)

8

• Change in working capital: Release of funds from reduction of net working capital, though lower than in previous year.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN 2016 € million		Output volume		EBITA adjusted
	2015	expected 2016	2015	expected 2016
Industrial	3,650	significant decrease to about €3.1 billion	128	at prior-year level
Power	1,284	significant decrease to about €1.0 billion	-69	significant improvement, but still negative
Consolidation / other	68	–	-82	–
Group	5,002	significant decrease to about €4.1 billion	-23	significant improvement

• Industrial: Despite the challenging environment in the North American project business, Bilfinger confirms the outlook for financial year 2016. Due to the weakness in demand in the oil and gas sector as well as expiring projects, the company anticipates a significant decrease in output volume to about €3.1 billion (previous year: €3.650 billion). With regard to adjusted EBITA, Bilfinger expects a higher margin and a figure at the level of the previous year due to positive effects from current programs for efficiency enhancement and process optimization (previous year: €128 million).
• Power: As a result of the restrained orders received, Bilfinger again anticipates a significant decrease in output volume to about €1.0 billion (previous year: €1.284 billion). Adjusted EBITA will improve significantly as a result of effects from capacity adjustments and reduced project losses with optimized risk management (previous year: -€69 million), but will remain negative.
• Group: At Group level, Bilfinger anticipates a significant decrease in output volume to about €4.1 billion (previous year: €5.002 billion). In terms of adjusted EBITA, a significant improvement as compared to the previous year (-€23 million) is expected.

In 2016, we expect the following significant special items from today's perspective:

• Capital gain from the sale of the divisions Building, Facility Services and Real Estate of € 534 million.

• A smaller portion of the expenses for the program to reduce administrative expenses. In total, we expect an amount in the high double digit million euro range in the coming years. This includes investments for the harmonization of our IT systems in the amount of over €50 million.

• In the Power business segment, restructuring expenses in the mid double-digit million euro range as well as non-cash impairments on property, plant and equipment in the lower double-digit million euro range.

• Non-cash burdens from the streamlining of the portfolio in the mid to high double digit million euro range.
• A portion of the expenses in connection with the further development of our compliance system and the conclusion of older cases in the total amount of approximately €50 million.
• Reported net profit will also be burdened by the non-capitalization of deferred tax assets on the negative result of the holding.

Opportunities and risks

• No significant changes have occurred with regard to opportunities and risks compared with the situation as described on pages 74ff of the 2015 Annual Report. In our assessment, no risks exist that would jeopardize the continued existence of the Group.
• On the basis of our business model, the decision on the part of the United Kingdom to leave the EU does not, from today's perspective, have a significant direct impact on Bilfinger. There are, however, uncertainties as regards the terms of the departure and their effects on the European market. Overall, our economic environment has not changed significantly.

Events after the balance sheet date

Our company continues to develop according to plan after the balance sheet date. No events have occurred that are of particular significance for the Group's profitability, cash flows or financial position.

Market situation Europe

• In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, demand for ongoing maintenance of production facilities is stable.
• Good demand for turnarounds.
• Industrial scaffolding solid; highly-competitive environment for plant insulation in Germany.
• Business development in the British and Scandinavian oil and gas sector remains restrained, maintenance budgets stuck at a low level.
• Higher demand for projects in the biotech pharma industry, however, generally limited willingness to invest on the part of our customers in the project business.

Market situation United States

• Project business impeded by the end of the shale gas boom, slight revival of investing activities in the chemicals industry.

• Demand for maintenance services for production facilities in the process industry more stable.

• Orders received: Increase of 3 percent (organically 8 percent) in what remains a demanding market environment, client confidence strengthened through targeted customer orientation and marketoriented service offerings.

• Order backlog: 9 percent below the prior-year figure (organically -4 percent).
• Output volume: With a drop of 18 percent (organically -14 percent) well below the prior-year figure, as expected.

In the oil and gas sector, fewer service requests as a result of maintenance budget cuts for 2016.

Slight increase in the maintenance of facilities in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

• EBITA / EBITA adjusted: Slight increase in the EBITA margin to 5.1 percent (previous year: 4.9 percent) with substantially lower output volume. Measures taken to enhance efficiency taking hold.
• Outlook: The forecast for the Industrial segment is described in the Outlook chapter on page 9.

Market situation fossil fuel power plants

• Demand in the project business remains extremely low.
• Germany and other European countries: Substantial price pressure due to market overcapacities, volume of services requested declining especially in Germany as a result of insufficient capacity utilization and profitability of the power plants.
• South Africa and the Middle East: Demand in the services business stable.

Market situation nuclear power

Individual projects offer medium term prospects.

OUTPUT VOLUME AND EBITA MARGIN ADJUSTED / QUARTER

• Orders received: 30 percent below the prior-year figure (organically -24 percent), due for the most part to substantially lower demand in home markets. In view of the competitive and price pressure, highly-selective approach in the German and international project business.
• Order backlog: Decrease of 40 percent (organically -37 percent).
• Output volume: Drop of 24 percent (organically -20 percent) against the backdrop of sustained weakness in orders received.
• EBITA / EBITA adjusted: Nearly same quarterly result despite significant decrease in volume. Positive effects from capacity adjustments and lower project losses, falling orders received will, however, lead to decreasing utilization in some units.
• Outlook: The forecast for the Power segment is described in the Outlook chapter on page 9.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations include the sold units Building, Facility Services, Real Estate, Water Technologies, Offshore Systems, Concessions, the former construction activities as well as marine construction.

1. Segment reporting

Segment reporting is prepared in accordance with IFRS 8. The reportable segments of the Bilfinger Group reflect the internal reporting structure. The definition of the segments is based on products and services.

The type and number of business segments and divisions has changed as compared to September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, there are five divisions allocated to two business segments. The divisions of the former Building and Facility business segment have been sold. Power was reclassified as continuing operations in the second quarter of 2016. The former divisions Engineering, Automation and Control and Industrial Fabrication have been combined to create the new Engineering Solutions division in the first quarter of 2016. The former Support Services division was formally dissolved and its companies were allocated to the Industrial Maintenance, Engineering Solutions and Insulation, Scaffolding and Painting divisions. The prior-year figures have been adjusted accordingly.

Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions (EBITA) is the key performance indicator for the business units and the Group, and thus the metric for earnings in our segment reporting. EBIT is also reported. The reconciliation of EBIT to earnings before taxes from continuing operations is derived from the consolidated income statement.

2. Significant accounting policies

The interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as they are to be applied in the EU, as were the consolidated financial statements for the year 2015, and comply with the requirements of IAS 34. They do not provide all of the information and disclosures included in complete consolidated financial statements and are therefore to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015. The accounting policies explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year 2015 have been applied unchanged.

1. Reclassification of the Power business segment as continuing operations

The Executive Board of Bilfinger SE decided in the second quarter of 2016 to reposition the selling process for Power which began in mid-2015. Rather than continuing to focus on the sale of the whole business, individual sales will now be pursued. At the same time, individual areas will be further restructured and repositioned. As a result of this decision, the conditions for the presentation of the Power business segment as discontinued operations are no longer met. Accordingly, the Power business segment has once again been presented as continuing operations since the second quarter of 2016.

In the course of the reclassification, the items in the financial statements for the prior-year period will be adjusted in such a way as if the presentation as discontinued operations had never occurred (among other things, consideration of depreciation and amortization). In addition, impairment losses on non-current assets of €29 million, of which €14 million applies to financial year 2015, were recognized as a result of the valuation at the lower value of the carrying amount calculated under consideration of scheduled depreciation and amortization and the recoverable amount. In addition, goodwill of the business segment was tested for impairment; the test did not result in any need for impairment. In total, depreciation, amortization and impairments in the amount of €25 million were retroactively recognized for financial year 2015. This led to a reduction of earnings after taxes for financial year 2015 in the amount of €24 million, of which €3 million is allocated to minority interest. Further, this also resulted in an increase in currency translation reserve in the amount of €2 million. The carrying amounts of the assets and equity as of December 31, 2015 have been adjusted accordingly.

The comparative figures for previous periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements have, as a result of the reclassification, been restated as follows:

• Consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income: In contrast to the consolidated income statement published in the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016, earnings for the first nine months and third quarter of 2016 presented in these interim consolidated financial statements include the retroactive depreciation and amortization on depreciable assets, which was suspended during the period of accounting as a disposal group. The comparable figures of the prior-year period have been adjusted for amortization and depreciation of €5 million. The comparative figures presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income are affected accordingly as a result of the impact on earnings after taxes.
• Consolidated balance sheet: In contrast to the consolidated balance sheet published in the consolidated financial statements for 2015, the individual items presented for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 in these interim consolidated financial statements also include the carrying amounts of the Power business segment rather than a combined presentation under Assets classified as held for sale and Liabilities classified as held for sale.
• Consolidated statement of changes in equity: In contrast to the consolidated statement of changes in equity published in the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016, the consolidated equity as of January 1, 2016 presented in these interim consolidated financial statements considers the retroactively adjusted earnings after taxes from financial year 2015 as well as the resulting effects on the currency translation reserve.
• Consolidated statement of cash flows: In contrast to the consolidated statement of cash flows published in the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016, the comparative figures for the consolidated statement of cash flows in these interim consolidated financial statements consider the effects from the changed values of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated balance sheet.

4. Acquisitions, disposals, discontinued operations

4.1 Acquisitions

As was the case in the prior-year period, no acquisitions were made during the interim reporting period.

4.2 Disposals

In the reporting period, the former Building, Facility Services, Real Estate and Water Technologies divisions, the steel and mechanical engineering activities, portions of the Asia-Pacific activities from the Engineering Solutions division and activities related to the manufacturing and installation of offshore foundations of the former Offshore Systems and Grids division were sold and the sale of the Mauell Group was reversed.

The former Construction division as well as the former Infrastructure division were sold in the prior-year period.

The overall effects of the sales were as follows:

EFFECTS AT THE TIME OF SALE € million Sep. 30, 2016 Sep. 30, 2015 Disposal of goodwill -108 Disposal of other non-current assets -46 Disposal of current assets -115 Disposal of cash and cash equivalents -28 Disposal of assets classified as held for sale -1,710 -336 Disposal of assets -2,007 -336 Disposal of non-current liabilities 13 Disposal of current liabilities 66 Disposal of liabilities classified as held for sale 1,028 273 Disposal of liabilities 1,107 273 Disposal of net assets -900 -63 Derecognition of minority interest 18 Disposal of intercompany receivables -29 -88 Reclassification of other comprehensive income to the income statement -1 -6 Other changes -12 -94 Sale price less selling transaction expenses 1,455 237 Capital gain after selling transaction expenses 543 80 Risk provision -50 Capital gain including risk provision 493 80

A capital gain including the risk provision in the amount of €510 million is reported in earnings from discontinued operations and a capital loss in the amount of minus €17 million in other operating expense. The latter had already partially been considered as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 as impairment losses from the measurement at fair value less cost to sell, which were also presented in Other operating expense.

The selling price for the former Building, Facility Services and Real Estate divisions includes the following non-cash components, which were recognized at fair value and presented as non-current other financial assets:

• An interest-bearing vendor claim of €100 million
• Equity-like participation rights (available-for-sale) of €195 million

4.3 Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations comprise:

• the disposed equity interests of the former Concessions business segment,
• the disposed activities of the former Construction division,
• the disposed former Infrastructure division,
• the disposed former Water Technologies division,
• the significant portions of the former Offshore Systems and Grids division sold or still put up for sale,
• the sold divisions Building, Facility Services and Real Estate from the former Building and Facility Services business segment as well as
• abandoned construction activities.

The former Water Technologies division was sold to the Chinese company Chengdu Techcent Environment Group on March 31, 2016. It is retrospectively reported as discontinued operations.

On August 5, 2016, the activities related to the manufacturing and installation of offshore foundations of the former Offshore Systems and Grids division were sold to the VTC group Munich and the Dutch Van Oord group. The selling process for the remaining marine construction activities will be continued.

The former Building, Facility Services and Real Estate divisions were sold to EQT on September 1, 2016.

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5, the investments put up for sale have been recognized as discontinued operations as of the time of reclassification:

• In the consolidated balance sheet, the affected assets and liabilities (disposal group) are presented separately under Assets classified as held for sale and Liabilities classified as held for sale.
• In the consolidated income statement, the income and expenses of discontinued operations are presented separately from the income and expenses of continuing operations, and are summarized separately in one item as earnings after taxes from discontinued operations.
• In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash flows from discontinued operations are also presented separately from the cash flows from continuing operations.

The amounts in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the prior-year period have been adjusted accordingly.

Earnings from discontinued operations are comprised as follows:

€ million	January 1- September 30		July 1- September 30
	2016	2015	2016	2015
Construction activities and Concessions	-8	0	-11	4
Building and Facility	574	45	548	21
Water Technologies	-21	8	-3	5
Earnings after taxes from discontinued operations	545	53	534	30

Minority interests account for a proportionate gain of €4 million (previous year: €0 million) of earnings after taxes from discontinued operations.

All discontinued operations with the exception of Building and Facility and Water Technologies are reported together under Construction activities and Concessions.

Under consideration of an impairment loss, a capital loss in the amount of €18 million resulted from the sale of the former Water Technologies division.

5. Output volume

In order to present the Group's entire output volume in the interest of more complete information, we disclose our output volume in the consolidated income statement. In addition to revenue, it includes the proportion of output volume generated by consortia and amounts to €3,161 million (previous year: €3,689 million).

6. Depreciation, amortization and impairments

Amortization of €8 million was carried out on intangible assets from acquisitions (previous year: €11 million) and is included in cost of sales. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of other intangible assets amount to €73 million (previous year: €78 million). This includes impairment losses of €14 million (previous year: €7 million). In addition, impairment losses on financial assets in the amount of €16 million (previous year: €8 million) were recognized. In the prior-year period, an impairment loss in the amount of €330 million was recognized on the goodwill of the Power business segment.

An impairment loss of €5 and €18 million respectively (previous year: €0 million) resulted from the measurement of the Asia-Pacific activities of the Engineering Solutions division and the Power division units that have been put up for sale (see Note 11). This is recognized in other operating income and expense.

7. Net interest result

8. Income tax

Deferred tax assets on tax-loss carryforwards are only recognized insofar as their realization is reasonably certain. Based on current assessments, this is not the case in particular for losses incurred at Bilfinger SE and its tax group companies, so that no deferred tax assets on tax-loss carryforwards were recognized as of September 30, 2016.

11. Assets classified as held for sale, liabilities classified as held for sale

As of the balance-sheet date, assets classified as held for sale and liabilities classified as held for sale comprise the following disposal groups:

• the not yet sold marine construction activities of the former Offshore Systems and Grids division not yet sold,
• the shares of Julius Berger Nigeria plc (16.5 percent) that have been put up for sale,
• the Asia-Pacific activities of the Engineering Solutions division that have been put up for sale and which have not yet been transferred to the buyer,
• the Bilfinger Duro Dakovic Montaza group and MCE Aschersleben from the Power division, which have been put up for sale.

Since the dates of their reclassification, non-current assets classified as held for sale have no longer been subject to depreciation or amortization and subsequent measurement according to the equity method was ceased for the investments accounted for using the equity method. Assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Impairment losses are recognized if the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the carrying amount. If impairments exceed the carrying amount of assets to be measured pursuant to IFRS 5, the remaining impairments are allocated to the other assets of the disposal group. Any reversals of impairment losses due to an increase in fair value less cost to sell are limited to the previously recognized impairment losses. Impairment charges allocated to the carrying amount of goodwill are not reversed.

Contracts for the sale of the Asia-Pacific activities of the Engineering Solutions division were concluded on March 8, 2016. The transaction was partially completed in the second and third quarter of 2016, the rest will follow in the fourth quarter of 2016. The activities were classified as a disposal group accordingly and were measured at fair value less cost to sell. Fair value was measured on the basis of the determined selling price. This resulted in an impairment loss of €5 million (see Note 6).

In the third quarter of 2016, the Bilfinger Duro Dakovic Montaza group and MCE Aschersleben of the Power division were put up for sale. The activities were classified as a disposal group accordingly and were measured at fair value less cost to sell. Fair value was measured on the basis of the expected selling prices. This resulted in an impairment loss of €18 million (see Note 6).

The assets classified as held for sale and liabilities classified as held for sale are comprised as follows:

€ million
	Sep. 30, 2016	Dec. 31, 2015
Goodwill	0	0
Other non-current assets	37	98
Current assets	29	23
Cash and cash equivalents	8	5
Assets classified as held for sale	74	126
Non-current liabilities	3	7
Current liabilities	56	107
Liabilities classified as held for sale	59	114

Accumulated other comprehensive income after taxes of the disposal groups as of the balance-sheet date amounts to €1 million (December 31, 2015: minus €1 million), of which €0 million (December 31, 2015: €0 million) is attributable to minority interest.

12. Equity

The classification of equity and changes in equity are presented in the interim consolidated financial statements in the Consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Positive earnings after taxes (€326 million) and negative transactions recognized directly in equity (minus €134 million) led to a net increase of equity by €192 million.

The transactions recognized directly in equity primarily comprise the negative effects of currency translation at minus €41 million and losses from the remeasurement of defined-benefit pension plans at €93 million, which mainly resulted from losses from adjustments of the discount rate of €70 million and from adjustments of other measurement assumptions of €24 million.

The company holds 1,815,085 treasury shares, equivalent to 3.94 percent of current voting rights. No cancellation of the treasury shares is currently intended.

13. Provisions for pensions and similar obligations

The decrease in provisions for pensions and similar obligations of €173 million to €340 million is mainly the result of the following: The obligations declined due to the sale of the Building and Facility business segment by €212 million, due to the reversal of the acquisition of the Mauell Group by €36 million and due to the sale of the Water Technologies division by €5 million. Obligations increased by €49 million due to the interest rate decreasing from 2.25 percent to 1.10 percent in the Euro zone as of September 30, 2016 and due to adjustments of other measurement assumptions by €35 million. The remeasurement losses resulting from the adjustments to measurement assumptions are recognized directly in equity.

14. Additional information on financial instruments

The methods for the measurement at fair value remain fundamentally unchanged from December 31, 2015. Further explanations on the measurement methods can be found in the Annual Report 2015.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities reflect for the most part the carrying amounts as of the balance-sheet date. The fair value of the issued bond amounts to €520 million with a carrying amount of €500 million as of the reporting date (reported unter non-current financial debt, recourse).

15. Related-party disclosures

Most of the transactions between fully consolidated companies of the Group and related companies or persons involve associated companies and joint ventures.

16. Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities of €393 million (December 31, 2015: €47 million) generally relate to guarantees provided for former Group companies that were sold and companies in which Bilfinger holds a minority interest, the vast majority of which are collateralized by the buyers of the former Group companies. There are bank guarantees in the amount of €276 million in place for this. In addition, we are jointly and severally liable as partners in companies constituted under the German Civil Code and in connection with consortia and joint ventures.

Other contingent liabilities comprise in particular potential litigation charges. These include judicial, arbitrative, and out-of-court proceedings involving customers and subcontractors that file claims or may in future file claims under various contracts, for example under contracts for maintenance and servicing as well as other supply and service relationships. At this time, however, Bilfinger does not expect that these legal disputes will result in any significant negative effects on its financial position, cash flows or profitability.

Review Report

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes, and the interim group management report of Bilfinger SE, Mannheim, for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2016, which are part of the interim financial report pursuant to Sec. 37w (7) in conjunction with (2) No. 1 and No. 2 and (3) and (4) WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": German Securities Trading Act]. The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs [International Financial Reporting Standards] on interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a certain level of assurance in our critical appraisal to preclude that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRSs on interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to making inquiries of company personnel and applying analytical procedures and thus does not provide the assurance that we would obtain from an audit of financial statements. In accordance with our engagement, we have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRSs on interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
