Overall stable market situation

▪ Energy transition: new technology and improvement in energy efficiency

  • Increasing investments in green energy, decisionmaking process has partly slowed down
  • Nuclear power revival
  • Extension of the lifetime of conventional power plants

  • Continued high demand in the healthcare sector

  • Localization of supply chains
  • Speed of investment increase normalizes
  • Unchanged good demand for maintenance and service

Pharma & Biopharma | ~10% Oil & Gas | ~15%

▪ Maintenance activities remain at good level, with regional differences

  • Increased necessity for efficiency improvement in the production process
  • Ongoing investment projects continue to progress, decisionmaking process has partly slowed down
  • Resource transition and energy transition
  • Market skeptical about German economy
  • Global oil and gas demand remains at a high level, therefore investment and maintenance in existing infrastructure
  • New investment including LNG plants, hydrogen transport, carbon capture infrastructure, decision-making process has partly slowed down

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations. Such statements made within this document are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to Bilfinger SE. Forward-looking statements are therefore valid only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events. Apart from this, a number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include the conditions in worldwide financial markets as well as the factors that derive from any change in worldwide economic development.
