Message from the Chairman of the Board

Dear Shareholders,

Once again in 2012 we faced a difficult environment in Europe, which had enormous repercussions in Portugal. Once again our Group's strategy, which was recently updated by presenting the Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan, made it possible to achieve excellent results, clearly on the way to meeting the targets set out for 2015.

If we analyse our three strategic pillars, I am proud that we were able to:

  • Increase internationalisation.
  • Take significant steps towards sustainability of our areas of diversification, particularly via their internationalisation.
  • Drive the new management model based on both "Regions" and on the know-how and skills of a Portuguese company that has a global vision and scope.

We boosted internationalisation and turnover from business outside Portugal accounted for 66% of the Group's total, and our order book of almost 78 % overseas is an important factor for our strategy.

Growth in diversification, which expanded to many of the countries in which we operate contributed to the stability and sustainability of the businesses and makes it possible to capture the inherent value of the African and Latin American economies.

All of us, now more than 26,000 employees across three continents, were able to implement a new type of management based on geographical criteria, without neglecting the enhanced control and support provided by a centralised corporate structure.

The Group's aims are to:

  • Increasingly capture opportunities that internationalisation brings in each regional market, by deploying the know-how we have acquired over 67 years of experience.
  • Diversifying sources of financing and increasing their maturity, making increasing use of the internationalisation capacity of the Group.
  • Establishing conditions for growth, safeguarding the Group's technical capacity, through relocation (around 1,500 expatriate staff).

And an analysis of the 2012 results makes it possible for us proudly to say that we are on the right track, as, despite the severe crisis in Europe, which has significant implications on a drop in business in Portugal, it was possible to achieve important levels of profitability for the Group.

I would especially like to thank Jorge Coelho, this Group's CEO, who for personal reasons resigned from his duties, and who contributed so much to the Group's development over the past few years.

I give my full support to the Group's new CEO Gonçalo Moura Martins, ex-CFO, who I am certain will take the Group into a new phase of development over the next few years.

I would also like to mention the appointment of the new CFO José Pedro Freitas, who will also have my fullest support.

The Executive Commission is now headed up by Gonçalo Moura Martins and made up of Arnaldo Figueiredo Ismael Canastro Carlos Mota Santos Isabel Ramos José Pedro Freitas

It is the guarantee that in the future Mota-Engil will be stronger.

Finally I would like to express my great satisfaction about the following

  • Award of the Nacala Project by Vale
  • Award of the Calueque Dam, in Angola, where we will be re-launching a construction project started in 1972 and brought to a halt in 1975.
  • The enormous success of this year's bond issue.
  • The launch of operations in Colombia in 2013.
  • Acquisition of a medium-sized construction company in Brazil.
  • Start of operations of the Perote Xalapa concession in Mexico following conclusion of construction work.

This is our strength, which is only possible because of the great quality and commitment of all our employees, to whom I would like to give my thanks!

António Mota Chairman of the Board of Directors

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

In line with the legal and statutory rules and obligations and duties of governance, as the Chief executive Officer I am addressing Shareholders.

The first matter that I would like to address is the resignation of Jorge Coelho, by personal choice, and which was the culmination of the success of the Ambition 2013 Strategic Plan that led to a significant period of development for the Group and boosted its internationalisation and diversification.

It was a period of concerted effort, which led to results, of a team led by him and of which I had the personal and professional pleasure to be a part.

I would therefore like to pay him a fitting and friendly tribute knowing that we will continue to benefit from his advice at the Company's recently-created Consultative Strategic Council.

I would also like to note the calm and structured way the transition to my nomination was carried out, a process that was headed up by the Group's Chairman and by its main shareholders, as well as the mature and responsible way in which the Group worked together for the success of this transition.

The importance of shareholder stability, the company's structure and planning of the Group's institutional and governance model was demonstrated once again.

I thank you All for this.

Despite the worsening economic context, which although it was particularly deeply-felt in Portugal still had global consequences, the Group's economic and financial performance was notable. This was owed to a determined implementation of the Group's macro-strategy and a joint effort that cannot be over-emphasised.

In this respect it is important to note:

  • Increased profitability seen in a net result of around 22%.
  • A 15% decrease in net debt, of around 154 million euros, despite increased investment.
  • A rise of over 7% in turnover, on a like-for-like basis.
  • The Group's international business continues to grow and now accounts for 2/3 of the total.

This means we have achieved our main objectives and the Group has a more robust balance sheet, which is more profitable and more exposed to markets and businesses with great potential for growth.

The Group's transformation, from a company with a strong focus on the domestic market and successful internationalisation into a truly multinational Group, with several domestic markets and an ability to think globally and act locally, has occurred in a coherent and determined, as well as a balanced and rational way, anchored on its values and culture whilst maintaining high employment levels based on mass geographical mobilisation of its staff.

We also want to reiterate the continued commitment of the Group's management to a policy of boosting the balance sheet and its economic fundamentals, which leads to increased profitability, debt control and the greater maturity of the debt cycle, selling off non-core assets and an increasingly strict selection of opportunities for growth that will mostly be organic.

The Group's current credibility is plain to see from the success of its bond issue and I am certain that others will follow, as it is essential that the Group finds new ways of financing itself.

But past successes add to our responsibility and the demands of our management, as the economic context is expected to get worse before it gets better, which means an extremely volatile and risk-filled climate that will need to be overcome.

This understanding that the Group needs to take on as a developing reality in all markets and businesses, should guide our extremely rigorous strategy, whilst always seeking out increased profitability, effective management of the Group's financial resources and a cohesion and unity that we have always had, particularly in the most adverse periods.

I will end by noting that the Group's biggest and most important asset is its Employees who, once again are above all an expression of its dynamics and success. I would like to thank them all for their committed and dedicated professionalism.

Gonçalo Moura Martins Chief Executive Officer

1. Macroeconomic Framework

The International economy

Four years after the emergence of the global financial crisis, the global economy continues to be unable to reach the growth indexes that had been registered up to that time. The most recent forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) point to the growth of the emerging markets and the developing countries, which continue to be the actual real force behind the global economy, growing at rates that are clearly superior to those seen in the developed countries.

After a growth of 5.1% in 2010 and 3.9% in 2011, the global economy grew 3.2% in 2012, according to the IMF. This decelerating trend in economic activity, particularly accentuated in developed countries, where the economy grew only by 1.3% in 2012, reflects the problems of the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and the uncertainties regarding budget consolidation measures in the United States of America (USA). The IMF forecasts for 2013 point to a growth of 3.5% in the global economy, with the main factors justifying this inversion of the downward trend being tied to the favourable impact on confidence and the financial markets, the actions taken by European authorities in response to the sovereign debt crisis and to the growing internal demand in the emerging and developing countries.

According to the IMF, the Eurozone contracted 0.4% in 2012, with the GDP of the peripheral countries Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece falling substantially. This negative change is justified by the effects of the sovereign debt crisis and its repercussions on the deleveraging process of the banking sector in the real economy, by the impact of budget consolidation measures put into practice by European countries in general and by the slowdown in external demand. The forecasts of the IMF point to the continuation of the recession in the Eurozone, which in 2013 should contract by about 0.2%.

In spite of the adverse consequences of the aggressive budget consolidation policies such as high unemployment rates and reduced public and private investment, more recent financial indicators point to a significant reduction in financing costs and investors being less averse to risk. Starting in the second half of 2012, there is a clear perception of lower risks associated to the Eurozone economy, as evidenced by a substantial decrease in sovereign risk premiums, investors' greater appetite for exposure to risk, and less volatility in the major international stock exchanges. Despite these signs of improvement, the European financial system remains unstable, with interest rates in the peripheral countries remaining too high.

The economic activity in the USA accelerated slightly in 2012, demonstrating strong resiliency to the slowdown in global growth. According to the IMF, the North-American economy grew 2.3% in 2012 (2011: 1.8%), reaching the highest growth rate among the main developed economies. The real estate market in the United States stabilised and the trajectory of the unemployment rate continues in a downward direction. There are still a few risks, however, that condition the outlook for the direction the economy will take over the next years. Internally, the main challenge is the implementation of a structural programme for medium-term budget consolidation that avoids an excessive fiscal consolidation in the short term. Externally, the risk remains of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis. According to the IMF predictions, the United States economy should grow around 2% in 2013, a slightly lower rate than that recorded in 2012.

The recently announced start of negotiations between the USA and the European Union, with the intent of creating a free trade zone between the two economic powers could represent an important driving force for economic growth and job creation in the medium term.

Unlike developed economies, more focused on budgetary and financial issues, emerging and developing countries achieved a marked economic growth in 2012, of around 5.1%, where, in addition to China and India, growth in South America and Sub-Saharan Africa stood out, on the order of 3.0 and 4.8%, respectively. In spite

of the considerable growth rates achieved, we see a deceleration of economic growth in these countries (2011: 6.3%), reflecting the impact of their weak economic performance. This slowdown, however, is clearly inferior to that registered in the global economy, due to the internal demand that is increasingly stronger in the emerging countries of Asia and Latin America. IMF's predictions for 2013 point to an average growth of 5.5% in the economies of the emerging and developing countries, which represents considerable growth and a lower dependency on the demand of more developed economies.

The general prices of commodities remained stable in 2012 as a result of moderate global economic growth. In spite of being subjected to considerable fluctuations, the average prices of commodities remained stable compared to the prices in 2011. According to the World Bank, the annual valorisation of the cost of crude oil per barrel was 2%, set at 106 USD, the quotations of minerals and metals fell approximately 15%, while the prices of food commodities grew about 1% compared to 2011. The World Bank foresees that the prices of commodities will maintain stable over the next few years, conditioned by the impact that the low expectations for global economic growth have on the demand.

According to the IMF forecasts, the global economy will continue to recover from the recession of 2009, albeit moderately. The more advanced economies will continue to face extremely high risks and should therefore grow at slower rates. The social crises associated with high levels of unemployment, aggressive budget consolidation policies and heavy restrictions on access to public and private financing are the main challenges that the more developed economies will face in the coming years. On the other hand, emerging markets should experience considerable growth rates, reflecting an increasingly greater internal demand and the continuation of high commodity prices.

The Portuguese economy

Within the framework of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme (EFAP), based on a structural transformation of the economy through the adoption of strict policies for budget consolidation, Portugal registered a drop of 3.2% in the GDP, according to the INE – Instituto Nacional de Estatística (National Statistics Institute). The economic deterioration of the Eurozone and the spreading of the sovereign debt crisis to other countries of the Eurozone accentuated the decline of the country's economic situation.

In contrast to the strong contraction in public consumption, private consumption and investment, there was a significant increase in exports and a decrease in imports. In fact, the balance of goods and services achieved a status approaching equilibrium in 2012, leading to the expectation that this will be achieved in the next few years, supported by a continual growth in exports and a decrease in imports. The Portuguese economic situation was furthermore strongly influenced by the 16.9% unemployment rate, which is predicted to continue its upward trend throughout 2013, and by the social instability experienced in the country. In spite of the optimism inherent in Portugal's return to the financial markets and the decrease in the sovereign risk premium, in 2012 international investors demanded a 7% yield on 10-year bonds.

Following the trend of the last few years, 2013 will continue to be a year of budget consolidation, under the terms of the EFAP, with restrictive budget policies and revenue focused on taxes on families, contributing once again to the contraction of public and private consumption. Although it can be anticipated that there will be a gradual recovery in the country's economic situation in 2013 compared to what was recorded in 2012, the GDP will continue to follow the falling trend seen over the last several years, a contraction of approximately 2% being foreseen by the Portuguese Government in its recent forecasts. The conditions for the concession of credit to the economy remain restrictive, due to the deleveraging process of the banking sector. The debt of the Portuguese economy should reach a historical high in 2013, with a gradual reduction being expected in the following years.

The Polish economy

In contrast to the contraction in the Eurozone economy, the Polish economy registered a 2% growth in 2012, according to the Polish Government, which demonstrates its robustness in a frankly adverse context. Nevertheless, there was a significant slowdown in product growth, justified by the collapse in the global demand and the internal demand that has been the country's engine for growth in these last years.

Poland continues to carry out the budget consolidation policy initiated in 2011, which seeks to fight inflation and the deficit in public accounts, which reached 7.9% of the GDP in 2010. In fact, significant cuts in investment and public consumption were made, after the conclusion of the works for the European Football Championship, and new fiscal policies were introduced. In 2012, according to the IMF forecasts, the deficit in public accounts will have fallen to 3.5% of GDP, a downward trend that is expected to carry on into the coming years. Although the majority of banks with activities in Poland are of European origin and, as such, exposed to the current risks of the European financial system, the Polish banking system shows nominal gains as well as a low risk in access to credit. The unemployment rate did not fluctuate greatly, being calculated at 10.2%, compared to the 10% registered in 2011.

For 2013, a moderate reduction in inflation and the deficit is forecast, thanks to the continuation of the budget consolidation plan, supported by new fiscal reforms. The increase in tax on tobacco and CO2 emissions, on the revenue side, and the cut in the salaries of public employees and the raise in the retirement age, on the expenditure side, are some of the main measures of this new plan that, naturally, will have repercussions in the slowdown of the Polish economy. According to IMF projections, the Polish economy will experience a slight growth of 1.7% in 2013.

The Angolan economy

The collapse in prices and in the demand for oil in 2009 interrupted a series of years of double-digit economic growth in Angola. Nevertheless, the country never stopped growing, having reached rates of 3.4% in 2010 and 3.9% in 2011. In 2012, despite the persistence of the European financial crisis, the postponement of the start of natural gas production and the severe dry period that affected the agricultural sector, Angola will have registered a substantial growth of 6.8% in the GDP, according to the most recent estimates issued by the IMF.

Angola continues to benefit from the frankly positive results obtained through the measures of economic stabilisation adopted within the scope of the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), agreed upon with the IMF and finalised during 2012 (currently in an observation phase, post-SBA, until 2014). The kwanza remains stable, supported by a level of reserves of international currencies in excess of 30 billion USD. This stability in the foreign currency exchange, associated with a more active intervention by the National Bank of Angola (NBA), made a slowdown in inflation possible so that, for the first time in the country's recent history, it will be below 10%, according to calculations of the NBA for 2012. The IMF estimates for the behaviour of the 2012 trade balance a surplus of 8.5% of the GDP, in line with results of previous years.

2012 was also marked by the founding of the Angolan Petroleum Fund, which was widely highlighted by the IMF and by financial rating agencies. . This fund, created as a result of the sale of 36.5 million barrels of oil, and which will receive daily allotments of 100 thousand barrels, will function as a support tool for economic development, seeking to develop projects in the energy and water sectors and in other sectors considered strategic including, in particular, infrastructure projects. This sovereign fund will make it possible to mitigate the impact of the volatile nature of budget revenues on investment spending, allowing the sectorial investment priorities to be adjusted over time in accordance with an evaluation of development needs.

In 2013, the country that is the principal external market of the Mota-Engil Group should maintain a robust growth and carry on with the economic stabilisation policies in progress. The IMF projections point to an inflation rate of 8.6% and a product growth of 5.5%, sustained by the commercial exploration of natural gas and the

increase in activity in the non-oil sectors. The consistency of the growth in the non-oil sectors takes on special significance within a perspective of long-term development of the Angolan economy, reducing its dependency in relation to the production of oil and other hydrocarbons.

The Mozambican economy

The Mozambican economy has registered strong growth over the last two decades, benefitting from large international investments, in particular in the sector of mineral resources, and from the strong support of international organisations for development. The historical evolution of the Mozambican product shows us that the economy has remained immune to the slowdown in the global economy, reaching growth rates higher than those seen in the remaining Sub-Saharan African countries, approaching the levels of China's growth.

The economy continued to show excellent performance in 2012, growing 7.5%, according to estimates by the IMF. On the other hand, despite the Mozambican Government's strong bet on expansionist economic policies, inflation has followed a downward trend. According to projections by the IMF, it should have decreased from 10.4% in 2011 to only 3.0% in 2012.

The ambitious public works programme in progress, based on the construction of «corridors» of development between the interior and coast of the country, should foster the execution of large investments in the mining sector, as well as the development of the Mozambican agricultural sector which, associated with the recent discovery of large natural gas resources, hints at strong economic growth for the country in the next few years.

IMF's projections indicate a growth of 8.4% in the Mozambican economy in 2012, undergirded by a significant growth in foreign direct investment, essentially in the mining and natural gas sectors, by a rise in agricultural exports, and by the execution of large public works in the country.

The Malawian economy

The Malawian economy, largely dependent on external aid to finance its development process, benefitted from an average annual growth of 7.1% between 2006 and 2010. This level of growth was sustained by the debt forgiveness granted under the terms of the programme of the World Bank and the IMF for heavily indebted poor countries, which made the adoption of measures to support the economy possible, specifically in the areas of agriculture, industry, construction and mining.

In the last two years the economic growth in Malawi slowed down, not exceeding 4.3% according to FMI estimates. In this period there was an increase in the budget deficit within the context of an overvalued exchange rate, which led to a scarcity of currency and the subsequent limitations to the access of consumer goods and raw materials. Consequently, the inflation rate shot up, estimated to have reached around 17.7% in 2012. Simultaneously, the decision of donating countries to withhold financial aid to Malawi further deteriorated the country's economic situation.

In 2012, determined to correct the country's macroeconomic imbalance and resume the financial aid from donating countries, the Malawian Government adopted a set of measures that seek to restore macroeconomic stability and the creation of an environment favourable to the development of private initiative, such as the devaluation of the kwacha, raising of the key interest rate, the application of a fiscal reform to foster private investment and the renegotiation of the IMF financial aid plan.

IMF forecasts for the coming years call for an acceleration in economic growth (2013: 5.7%), based on the stabilisation of macroeconomic conditions and the growing foreign investment in the mining sector, which will be the driving force of the economy. The inflation rate should taper off in 2013, being expected to stabilise at around 6% in the following years.

The Peruvian economy

Following the trend for sustained growth seen over the last few years, Peru is once again one of the countries in the American continent with the best economic performance. The growth rate has remained stable, even taking into account the modest growth of the principal markets for Peruvian exports, such as the United States of America.

According to recent data from the IMF, there was a slight deceleration of the economy in 2012, with the growth rate being pegged at 6.3%, compared to 6.9% recorded in 2011. Exports benefited from an increase in commodity prices, specifically copper, zinc and gold, which are expected to continue rising in the next few years. With the objective of maintaining the current growth dynamic of the country, the Peruvian Government will encourage public investment, specifically through the execution of new mining projects and the increase in social expenditures with a view to reducing poverty and improving living conditions.

Currently, Peru's inflation rate is the lowest in all of Latin America. In order to maintain this value within the established goals, the Peruvian monetary policy should keep the key interest rate at 4.25%, a value that has been in place since May, 2011. The exchange rate of the Peruvian sol registered a slight devaluation during the current year, continuing however to be the most stable currency in Latin America. For 2013, the IMF estimates a growth in line with that recorded in 2012, supported by the high commodity prices as well as the strong increase in internal consumption

The Mexican economy

The performance of the Mexican economy was conditioned by the slowdown of the global economy in 2012. Even so, according to forecasts by the IMF, the Mexican economy had an economic growth of 3.8%, within a context of stabilising inflation, finance costs and the public deficit.

Macroeconomic policies oriented towards stability and the solid Mexican banking system are once again given as decisive factors in the context of some uncertainty in international markets and moderation in the global economy. The growth in exports to the United States (destination market for approximately 80% of Mexican exports) supports the positive economic outlook for the coming years. The workforce continues to generate jobs in the private sector, which, in turn, increases family consumption and investment. Oil, which represents approximately 30% of the country's exports, should remain at the high prices registered in 2012, fostering the country's economic growth and the corresponding budget equilibrium.

In spite of some uncertainties resulting from the slowdown of the global economy and the crisis in the Eurozone, the positive signs in the Mexican economy allow a projection of 3.5% economic growth for 2013 and 2014, according to projections by the IMF.

Brazilian economy

The Brazilian economy recorded a slowdown of activity during 2012, achieving a growth rate of merely 0.9%, in contrast with the strong growth rates recorded in previous years, according to data published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

Even without the buoyancy of the advanced economies and lacking the growth rates of other emerging economies, Brazil is currently the seventh largest economy of the world, according to the IMF. Brazil has a robust economy, being a major producer and exporter of various products, mainly mineral and agricultural commodities and manufactured products. The Brazilian government, aimed at further enhancing productive capacity, has adopted specific measures to encourage production and investment.

In addition to the important international events which will be held over the next few years in Brazil, the economy will continue to benefit from the ambitious Growth Acceleration Plan (PAC2), which includes massive investments in the areas of transport, energy, sanitation, housing and water resources, fundamental infrastructures for the economic and social development of the country.

Brazil currently shows a new macroeconomic profile, unique in the country's history, clearly boosting investment, production and employment. Interest rates are at historically low levels, both for sovereign debt and for funding the economy and families. The exchange rate is competitive and the fiscal performance demonstrates the solidity of Brazil's economic policies. Under these circumstances, the IMF forecasts robust growth rates for 2013 and 2014, of around 3.5% and 4%, respectively.

Columbian economy

In 2012, the Columbian GDP recorded a slight slowdown, even so, having achieved impressive growth of close to 4.3%, according to the projections of the IMF. Indeed, in spite of the sluggish economic growth of its main trading partner (United States of America) and the instability of global financial markets, Columbia continues to record strong economic growth rates, in a context of controlled inflation and moderate interest rates.

Columbia has a great variety of natural energy resources, such as oil, natural gas and coal, as well as metals such as gold, silver and copper, and is the world's largest producer of emeralds. Regarding agricultural production, its output of coffee, sugar cane, banana, corn, tobacco, cotton and flowers is of particular importance. In order to boost the export capacity of this market which is rich in natural resources, the Government has implemented a Productive Transformation Programme, aimed at tripling exports by 2014, in 12 sectors of the economy.

In fact, Columbia has defined the improvement of its transport infrastructures as a strategic priority, to leverage the growth of the export sector and domestic consumption. The National Infrastructure Agency, created in 2011, established the objective for 2013 of launching tenders for the implementation of infrastructure works of a total value of approximately 22 thousand million USD in 2013.

IMF forecasts for the Columbian economy point to sustained growth in 2013 and 2014, of close to 4.4% and 4.5% respectively, based on a strong increase of domestic consumption and public investment.

2. Analysis of the economic and financial performance

2012 was marked by remarkable growth, the strengthening of the strategic vectors of diversification and internationalisation (reaffirmed in the Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan), improved operating efficiency and the reinforcement of the structural equilibrium of the Group's consolidated balance. Because of this, the Group was able to achieve in 2012 a consolidated net result of 40.7 million euros (2011: 33.4 million euros), which represents growth of around 22%.

In 2012, the Group altered its matrix of business dealings, which is now established by geographical areas, changing the logic of the business areas that was previously followed. In this way, the Group has been organised into the following four major business areas: Portugal, Africa, Latin America and Central Europe. This change was made to enable an improvement in the operating efficiency and the creation of value for the Group. It is also in line with this matrix that this report is organised.

In 2012, turnover reached the amount of 2,243 million euros, which represented a growth of 7.1% in comparison with the 2,094 million euros of pro-forma turnover in 2011 (using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua subgroup).

2010 and 2011: Pro-forma data using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua subgroup

This progress was possible due to the good performance seen in the external markets, with growth of around 27%, and in the business area of environment and services. The relative weight of the external activity of the Group in 2012 was close to 66% (2011: 55%).

Along with this increase in the volume of activity, the international order book has also been gaining ground in the GROUP. In this regard, a special mention goes to the trend registered in the companies of the Latin American region.

This growth in the importance of the external markets results from the bet on various countries with sustained growth, specifically in the emerging economies of Africa and Latin America, which, together with the new organisational model, was further strengthened under the Group's Strategic Plan: Ambition 2.0.

In terms of EBITDA, the growth experienced in 2012, compared to that of 2011, in the amount of 10.1 million euros, was essentially due to the African market (growth of 8.7 million euros in EBITDA), whilst the national market, as well, deserves mentioning due to its excellent operating performance (growth of 3.8 million euros in EBITDA). In Africa, it was the Malawian market that made the biggest contribution to that performance; as for the values in the domestic market, they were mainly the fruit of the results in the segments of construction and

logistics, more than compensating for the drop seen in the segment of waste collection and treatment. In 2012, the consolidated EBITDA margin was 12.8%, which compares with 13.2% in 2011.

2010 and 2011: Pro-forma data using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua

External activity in 2012 represented about 60% of the total EBITDA of the Group, and between 2010 and 2012, its contribution to the increase in the total EBITDA of the Group was proportionately greater than that of the internal activity.

In 2012, consolidated net investment reached 145 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 85 million euros), in which investment in the external markets stands out, totalling 101 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 48 million euros). Analysing the total investment by type, we note that the investment in maintenance totalled 54 million euros, investment in expansion approximately 81 million euros and the total financial investment was about 11 million euros.

Although the investment was higher in 2012 than in previous years, the total net debt at the close of the year was significantly lower than that recorded in the previous year (154 million euros less, which represents a drop of 15%).

The total net debt was 850 million euros (December 2011 pro-forma: 866 million euros). Of this amount, about 442 million euros were allocated to the operating activity of the Group, the remainder of the amount (409 million euros) being for investments in associated companies, which do not contribute to the EBITDA, and to nonstrategic assets.

It is important to point out that, in 2012, the Group rescaled to the medium and long term more than 230 million euros of debt taken out at various institutions, which, together with similar operations carried out already in 2013, and with the bond issue referred to in the following paragraph, it can be concluded that the short-term debt, at the date this report is being issued, is less than one-third of the total short-term debt as at December 31, 2012.

On March 14, Mota-Engil successfully issued a debenture loan in the amount of 175,000,000 euros, as a public offer for subscription to the general public announced at the beginning of February 2013. This bond issue will allow Mota-Engil to increase the average maturity of its debt and adjust the amortisation profile to the expected expansion of business foreseen in the Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan, which involves internationalisation.

2010 and 2011: Pro-forma data using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua subgroup

The financial results contributed to the negative 82.5 million euro net result for the Group (2011 pro-forma: a negative 69.5 million euros), which represents an increase of about 13 million euros (18.6%), compared to 2011, in the net financial costs. The performance was essentially the result of the following effects: an increase of around 14 million euros in net interest incurred; a reduction of about 3 million euros related to the capital gains obtained from the sale of the waste operations in Brazil; a reduction of 5.8 million euros due to foreign exchange rate differentials.

2011: Pro-forma data using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua subgroup

In 2012, the heading gains and losses in associated companies (Equity Method on the graph) made a positive contribution to the results, with 22.3 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 0.8 million euros). The 2012 value is essentially affected by the following facts: the Group's share in the results of the Martifer Group, a negative amount of 21 million euros (2011: negative 18.6 million euros); the Group's share in the results of the Ascendi Group, a positive amount of 25 million euros (2011: 19.9 million euros); the gain, in the amount of 15,4 million euros, in the recognition of the fair value of the investment withheld in Indaqua, following the sale of a minority position and consequently the Group's loss of control over that company.

As a result of this operating and financial performance, the pre-tax results grew to 119 million euros (2011 proforma: 89.6 million euros) and the consolidated net results rose to 81.7 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 70.7

million euros), the share attributable to the Group being 48.6 million euros (2011: 33.4 million euros), which represents a growth of about 22%.

At the end of December 2012, the order book stood at about 3.4 thousand million euros, 2.6 thousand million euros of which were in external markets, representing about 77% of the total order book. As usual, the order book of business dealings not related to construction only includes service contracts in the segments of waste and maintenance. The Group does not include in its order book the foreseeable revenues coming from the operation of port terminals.

3. Business areas

Portugal

2010 and 2011: Pro-forma data using the equity method in the recognition of interests held in the companies of the Indaqua subgroup

The Portugal business area includes the businesses and companies of Engineering & Construction and Environment and Services that the Group has in Portugal or which are managed by the management structure of this region. Activities in the field of Environment & Services are in the sectors of Logistics, Waste, Water and Energy & Maintenance.

The turnover of the Mota-Engil Group in Portugal in 2012 totalled 822 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 955 million euros), which translates into a 14% decline over 2011. Contributing to this drop were the lower numbers in turnover in the segments of engineering and construction (-22%) and waste treatment and collection (-7%). The logistics segment, despite the increase recorded in its turnover (27.6 million euros, which represents growth of about 17%), was not able to compensate for the negative effects referred to above. Overall, the segments of environment and services had a consolidated turnover of 316 million euros (2011 pro-forma: 300 million euros).

As for operating profitability achieved in Portugal, there was an increase in the EBITDA margin to 15% (2011 proforma: 12%) and a rise of 6% in the absolute value of that indicator to 122.6 million euros (2011 proforma: 115.7 million euros).

These results were made possible by the increase, albeit slight, in the weight of the environment and services segments, and the larger EBITDA margin of the engineering and construction companies, which in spite of their reduced activity, grew the corresponding absolute value of consolidated EBITDA (2012: 68.2 million euros; 2011: 64.4 million euros), as a result of greater operating efficiency in the use of their resources and their capacity to transfer resources to other markets.

The segment of wastes in Portugal registered a slowdown, both in terms of activity (2012: turnover of 82.7 million euros; 2011: turnover of 88.6 million euros), and in terms of EBITDA (2012: 18.6 million euros; 2011: 20.6 million euros).

It is the segment of logistics that continues to exert the greatest weight on the turnover in environment and services, growing 17% in relation to the values obtained the year before (187.4 million euros in turnover in 2012, which compares to 159.8 million euros in 2011) and 5% in terms of EBITDA (33.0 million euros in 2012, as opposed to 31.3 million euros in 2011). This excellent behaviour was due to the increased traffic in the domestic ports, as well as to the operating improvements which have been being introduced through an integrated management of the various concessions. It was adversely affected, however, by instability in some of the main domestic ports in the second half of the year.

Despite a slight decline in their activity, the segment of maintenance and energy companies improved their EBITDA margin remarkably well, achieving 9% in 2012.

Engineering and Construction

Following the trend of recent years, the sector of Civil Construction and Public Works in Portugal continues to go through a deep crisis, with weak demand, an excess of installed capacity and a crushing of the margins being practiced. Influenced by an unfavourable economic framework, the result of the sovereign debt crisis and the strict austerity plan implemented by the Portuguese government, the sector once again recorded a sharp drop in its activity in 2012, with the production index in Construction contracting 16.9% (2011: contraction of 10.3%), according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Eurostat data shows that the European construction sector suffered an 8.5% drop, with Portugal being the second most affected country.

Unlike in previous cycles, in which public investment served as one of the main instruments to drive the national economy forward, since 2010 this instrument has been used for the opposite purpose: to consolidate public debts. In 2012 public calls for tenders were opened amounting to 1.7 thousand million euros and works awarded in the amount of 1.2 thousand million euros, values that represent drops of 44.4% and 51.6%, respectively, in relation to the previous year.

According to the most recent analysis of the conjuncture made by FEPICOP - Portuguese Federation of the Construction Industry, up to November 2012 licences for new construction fell 30.2%, and those for nonresidential buildings were 23.5% lower. These data are evidence of the continuing deterioration of the economic activity in the sector, which culminates in a 34.4% increase in unemployment in construction.

Portuguese banks continue to find it difficult to access financing, and consequently, there are heavy constraints on financing for the economy and a decline in private investment. Companies are confronted, simultaneously, with a strong pressure from deleveraging and a significant increase in the costs of financing. Added to this, the housing market, the most heavily penalised by the financial crisis, is undergoing an unprecedented decline in new credits to housing.

Despite this prolonged, systemic and deep crisis, the Group maintains a moderately optimistic outlook for 2013. The internal reorganisation of the segment endowed the related companies with a greater operating, economic, financial and management efficiency, allowing them to face the current economic and financial conjuncture with the certainty that the business area of Engineering & Construction in Portugal will come through the crisis even stronger after the recovery of the sector.

As has been mentioned, the turnover of the segment of Engineering & Construction in Portugal suffered a strong contraction in 2012, a reflection of the record decline in contract awards in the sector of civil construction and public works. Nevertheless, there was significant growth in operating profitability, resulting from a combination of factors: the quality of the order book that has been being compiled, both in the area of highway construction and in civil construction; and from the policies for the rationalisation of resources that have been being practiced. As a matter of fact, in spite of the decrease in the activity of the segment, the EBITDA rose, which demonstrates the strong resilience of the Engineering & Construction segment in Portugal. Due to the difficulties experienced in the internal market, together with the dynamic nature of the internationalisation process in construction, this segment again saw a drop in its share of the overall turnover of the Group: in 2012 the Engineering & Construction market in Portugal represented only 23% of the Group's consolidated activity (2011 pro-forma: 32%).

There was also growth in highway works and the concentration of production in larger contract works and in fewer building yards compared to previous years. Besides the construction of works in the Interior Douro and Interior Pinhal regions, the following contract works stand out for their importance:

  • Remodelling and Expansion of the Bom Sucesso Market in Porto;
  • Foz Tua Dam;
  • Venda Nova Hydroelectric Plant III Undertaking;
  • New Coach Museum;
  • New Headoffices for EDP (Electric Company).

Various water-related infrastructures were also executed for EDIA (Development and Infrastructure Company of Alqueva), as well as several remodelling projects for school buildings, which stand out in the general panorama, due to the fulfilment of the goals established for delivery deadlines and quality.

Also noteworthy is the fact that Mota-Engil Engenharia, despite being a company in the business area of Portugal, is the Group company with the most technical and human resources and installed capacity, which allows it to make available to external markets the resources and know how required for the execution of large undertakings in progress, especially the specific support in specialised railway and port works.

Logistics

The business segment of Logistics includes the activities of port, road and railway terminal operations, integrated logistics and railway transport of goods.

Six years after the acquisition of the Tertir Group, Mota-Engil holds a leading and prominent position in the operation of port terminals, specifically through the operations of the terminals of Leixões, Aveiro, Figueira da Foz, Lisbon and Setúbal. The Group also provides integrated cargo activities, road and railway transport, intermodal logistical installations, distribution, shipping agents and other related services, having the distinction of being the first Portuguese private operator to enter the sector of rail transport of goods.

In fact, the know-how developed through Tertir in the concessions of port infrastructures and integrated logistical systems allowed the Group to expand its activity into international markets, including the 30-year concession of the port of Paita in Peru, awarded in 2009 to a consortium in which the Group has a participation (Terminales Portuarios Euroandinos) and to the 35-year concession of the container terminal of Ferrol, in Galicia, awarded in July 2011 to Terminal de Contenedores de Ferrol, a company held 100% by Terminal de Contentores de Leixões (TCL), a company that is, in turn, controlled by Mota-Engil.

The activity in the domestic port terminals was marked by growth in the first half of the year, followed by a significant decline in the second half. In the first half, the growth in exports and the greater preference for maritime transport over land transport resulted in significant rates of growth in the activity, despite the weak economic situation of the country. In the second half, the strike by the port workers, which lasted throughout almost all of that period, significantly affected the port concessions at Aveiro, Lisbon and Setúbal, in which invoicing fell 25% in comparison with the previous 6-month period.

In regard to rail transport, Takargo, which received its national licence as operator for the transport of goods in 2006 and in 2012 a similar licence to operate in Spain, consolidated its operations as a leading Iberian company in the transnational transport of goods by railroad.

Another company with a growing international presence is Transitex, a cargo shipper working with containers, including door-to-door service, which has its own structure set up in countries as scattered as Spain, Mozambique, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, South Africa and Peru. The activities of Transitex, because they are not as dependent on the European conjuncture, recorded significant growth, both in volume as well as in profitability.

In 2012, in spite of the weak economic activity in Portugal and the heavy impact on the activity of the terminals from the strike by port workers, the business segment of logistics had an excellent performance, including a yearon-year organic growth of activity of 17%, which demonstrates the resilience of this business in the face of the current internal conjuncture.

Waste

Guaranteeing its continued position of leadership in the national market of waste, which was over 50% in 2012, the organic structure of the Suma Group basically retained the same configuration and strategic profile, bringing together more than 30 companies to guarantee the capacity for the Full Life Cycle Management of Waste in the various categories (Urban Solid Waste; Hospital Waste; Bulky Waste; Common Industrial Waste, Hazardous and Non-Hazardous; Construction and Demolition Waste; Used Lubricating Oils; Liquid Effluents), from their production, to their recycling, elimination and/or technical confinement, with particular importance in the period in question to the reinforcement of the diversity and specialisation of the services rendered in activities with a greater potential for development, particularly in the segment of Industrial Waste.

The worsening economic and financial situation of the country, added to the budgetary and liquidity limitations of the main customers in the order book (Local Governments), led to a drop of 7% in the turnover of this

segment in Portugal, evidencing great difficulties in growth and internal investment (arising from the low incentive to private initiative) and maintaining the gap that exists between the Portuguese reality and that of the other countries of the European Union in regard to the privatisation of the public services of hygiene and sanitation, forcing the company to concentrate the objectives of entrepreneurial sustainability in the reinforcement of its bet on markets abroad. Despite the decline in the activity of the segment of Waste in Portugal, the operating profitability remained stable, with the EBITDA margin remaining stable at around 23%.

Suma began 2012 with an inherited growth rate of 501% from the historical balance of the last ten years of its activity (2001-2011), its path to continued growth involving the implementation of policies of sustainability and internal efficiency, and the expansion to other markets, where important commercial investments have been made in the approximation and analysis of new opportunities, mainly in the African continent.

As far as commercial performance is concerned, 2012 was marked by a dozen or so renewals of service contracts or newly awarded contracts with a duration of over a year, which, added to the contracts already held, come to a total of 43 municipalities served in terms of Collection of Solid Waste and Urban Cleaning, representing a population of 2,198,237 inhabitants. There are 36 municipalities where Waste Treatment is being provided, where the population is estimated to be around 610,500 inhabitants.

Two years away from celebrating its two decades of existence, the stability of the Suma project is the product of heavy investments—human, logistical, and technological—and a management focused on continual improvement and the search for successful alternatives and geographical settings designed to counteract the stagnation and resistance of the domestic market to the privatisation of the services of Urban Sanitation and Waste Collection and Treatment.

The direction outlined for the optimisation of resources and for the extensive and transverse application of good practices in the entire chain of services provided was corroborated with the renewal of the Quality Certificate and the continuation in Environment and Safety – Integrated Management System of Suma – the Suma Laboratory having ensured the accreditation for all the parameters, and SIGA obtained for the first time the certification of its Quality Management System.

Anchored on the values of service to the environment, a higher quality of life for the inhabitants of the areas covered, Suma carries on with its efforts in the areas of corporate social responsibility, principally through the implementation of awareness and prevention projects, designed to ensure higher indicators of savings for the public treasury for its Customers, and a better management of resources by families in relation to waste.

Water

The strategy of the Mota-Engil Group for its business area of Water involves the search for partnerships that can increase the capacity for investment and the expansion of this sector of activity, both in Portugal and in the external markets. At the close of 2012, as a consequence of this strategy, the Group disposed of its minority participation in the capital of Indaqua (the company that brings together all the Water-related businesses), which resulted in the Group's loss of control in that company and the deconsolidation of its businesses from the full method. Hence, the Water segment is longer a reportable segment for the Mota-Engil Group. Despite this fact, and as the Group still has an important participation in Indaqua, the main facts occurring during the year will continue to be mentioned.

The Water business includes the concessions for water supply and sanitation in the municipalities of Fafe, Santo Tirso, Trofa, Santa Maria da Feira, Matosinhos and Vila do Conde, controlled by the subsidiaries of the Indaqua Group. The first three involve the service of water supply only. It also includes a public/private partnership with the Municipality of São João da Madeira for the management of the municipal public service of water supply and collection of sewage and storm waters in the municipality of São João da Madeira. These concessions have terms that vary between 25 and 50 years and the PPP is for an unlimited time, involving the management of about 215,000 customers, 4,400 km of water and sewer networks, and a population of around 575,000 inhabitants.

In 2012 Indaqua was awarded the concession to operate and manage the public services of water supply, and the collection, treatment and disposal of waste waters in Oliveira de Azeméis for a period of 30 years, the start of operations being expected to take place in 2013. We cannot, however, consider the trends in the domestic market as having been favourable to the growth of Indaqua, because the launchings of public calls for tenders have been few and successively postponed. Despite this fact, the total number of water customers of Indaqua in December 2012 already surpassed 215 thousand, which represents an increase of 2.4% over 2011, and the volume of water invoiced was on the order of 21.5 million cubic metres. The total number of users of the sewage services in December 2012 was about 147 thousand, which constitutes an increase of about 3% in comparison to 2011 and the volume invoiced was around 15.3 million cubic metres.

Investments in Portugal came to 36 million euros, the largest investments being in infrastructures to execute various works in line with the investment plans of the companies holding the concessions.

In light of the financial weakness of the State, Indaqua foresees that beginning in 2013, the pace of launchings by Portuguese Municipalities of public calls for tenders for the attribution of municipal concessions will accelerate. It is Indaqua's intention to participate in all of them, if they are seen to be economically and financially sustainable. Besides this, it is awaiting the carrying out of the project currently underway for the merger of multi-municipal water and sanitation companies within the universe of Águas de Portugal, with a view to private players in the near future being integrated into the management of the activity of the companies resulting from this project.

Africa

Africa is a natural market for the Mota-Engil Group, given the Group's presence in Angola for over 65 years, giving it a reference mark in this market, Mota-Engil Angola. With an activity that is very representative in markets such as Mozambique and Malawi, and in other expanding markets, such as South Africa, Cape Verde, S. Tomé e Príncipe, and Zimbabwe, Mota-Engil is increasingly active in the area of southern Africa. The Mota-Engil Group has been expanding the geographical base of its operations in Africa, assessing new markets and the diversification into new business areas, establishing a commitment to the development of these economies with high potential. The Group's investment in mining is the most recent example of this commitment to Africa. Activity in Africa represents about 32% of the total activity of the Mota-Engil Group (2011: 29%).

In 2012, the turnover in Africa was 729 million euros, recording growth of 19.3% in relation to the value obtained the previous year (611 million euros). Although the EBITDA margin of this business area suffered a slight decline, dropping from 21% in 2011 to 19% in 2012, the operating profitability in absolute numbers increased to 136.5 million euros (2011: 127.8 million euros). It is worth noting that in 2012, the urban waste and cleaning business in Angola contributed 30 million euros in turnover (2011: 32 million euros) and 12.6 million euros in EBITDA (2011: 19 million euros).

Another important fact is that the order book of this area stood at around 1,470 million euros in December 2012 (December 2011: 1,687 million euros), which continues to support the excellent outlook for the Group's growth in this market.

The activity in Angola, Mozambique and Malawi is very representative, being one of the largest companies of the sector in each of those markets, which therefore places the Group in an excellent position to benefit from the enormous growth potential of these markets.

Driven by the exploration of its natural riches and benefitting from the high prices of commodities, the Africa market has achieved significant economic growth in recent years. This growth has allowed the governments of the region to adopt policies for investment in new infrastructures, an essential factor in fostering private investment and the development of other sectors of activity, such as agriculture, industry, commerce and tourism. The financing available in these markets has made it possible to leverage growth and support the execution of large public and private investments, specifically in the mining sector. The major private investments, together with the ambitious public works programmes designed to meet the great scarcity of infrastructures, constitute an enormous potential for growth for Engineering & Construction activity in this geographical area.

The activity in Angola is carried out through Mota-Engil Angola, a company that is the result of a partnership between the Group, with 51% of the capital, and an Angolan consortium that is part of the Sonangol Oil Company and Grupo Atlântico, with 49% of the capital. 2012 was marked by the consolidation of the activity in this market, in which there was sharp growth in the turnover and the maintaining of an EBITDA margin of more than 20%, reflecting the generally good execution of the contract works, of which the following are highlighted:

  • Special Economic Zone;
  • Renovation and Realignment of the Luanda outer highway;
  • Improvements made to Avenida Murtala Mohamed
  • Angola Maritime Training Centre (CFMA) at Sumbe Package B Buildings;
  • Dundo Lucapa National Highway.

As for Malawi, the performance of this market was negatively influenced by difficulties in the supply of raw materials, caused by the lack of currency in the country, which delayed the normal progress of production in the order book. Nevertheless, 2012 was also the year construction began on the 145.11 km of railroad in Malawi awarded to Mota-Engil for over 700 million dollars. This stretch is part of a railway corridor over 900 km long that connects the coal mines of Moatize-Tete with the port of Nacala, both in Mozambique, serving to take the mining production to market. Turnover in Malawi tripled in 2012, mainly because of this project, which will be completed in the course of 2014. The order book for Malawi shows 550 million euros, basically supported by private clients in the mining sector.

Turning to Mozambique, this country, which is evidencing continued growth that requires large investments in infrastructures, created an ambitious plan for public works that has in view the development of logistics corridors between the interior and the country's coast. As a matter of fact, the Mozambique market has been taking on a growing importance for the Group, with the order book in 2012 registering 230 million euros. The year was marked by the continuation of three contract works: the New Tete Bridge and its accesses, the Renovation and Improvement of the Milange-Mocuba Highway and the Renovation of EN260 between Chimoio and Espungabera, as well as the start-up of the railway works for the renovation of the Sena Line.

Following the strategic objective of diversifying activity in the markets, the sectors of Waste, Logistics, Water, Energy and Maintenance are more important today, representing about 11% of the total EBITDA of the African area of business. With its extensive experience in the area of mining support infrastructures and in contract mining, the Mota-Engil Group continues to ponder the diversification of its activity into the mining sector, specifically through projects for prospecting and mining operations.

In fact, the Group's strategy for the African market is based on the consolidation of the current operations in progress in the markets, through the diversification of business deals and the increase in construction contracts with private customers. It also aims to expand its activity into new markets of sub-Saharan Africa, seeking, above all, projects that have financial backing from international institutions from the start.

In global terms, the African market evidenced significant growth in turnover and a slight drop in the EBITDA margin, which is explained by the delays in the progress of the construction works in Mozambique and Malawi. The outlook for 2013 points to significant growth in activity in Africa, the contribution of the Nacala corridor railway line naturally being a prominent factor.

Central Europe

Although the Group has operations in four Central European countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary), most of its activity is concentrated in Poland, in the Engineering & Construction segment.

The 2012 turnover in Central Europe was 429 million euros, which represents growth of about 12% in comparison to the previous year (2011: 383 million euros). Even so, the Group was still able to keep the same level of quality and meet the deadlines for all its works, which has been a distinctive feature of the Group, setting it apart from most of the companies operating in this segment and market. On the negative side, there was the conclusion of the process of closing operations in Romania, which resulted in the recording of losses totalling around 6 million euros, affecting the EBITDA in the same amount.

Following the peak production of the construction sector recorded in 2011, due for the most part to the European Cup, the volume of production fell back about 23.7% in 2012, according to recent figures from Eurostat. In fact, the level of public investment fell substantially in the last year, especially in the second quarter, when there was a smaller number of public calls for tenders in highway infrastructures. The sharp rise in the price of raw materials further deteriorated the performance of the sector, resulting in a strong increase in competition, the flattening of the margins, not to mention the fact that some of the companies of this sector in Poland became insolvent. Notwithstanding these heavy constraints, in 2012 Mota-Engil Central Europe successfully completed and delivered all its contract works within the agreed timeframes, in line with the commitment to quality assumed by the Group.

Despite the recent trend of fewer new contracts for the construction of highways and motorways, it is hoped that there will continue to be strong investments in the reconstruction, renovation and modernisation of regional and municipal roads. Additionally, the Polish authorities are studying the possibility of issuing calls for tenders for road works under the modality of PPP, which will also include the services of maintenance and reconstruction/modernisation. Significant investments in projects related to energy and environmental infrastructures are also expected, justifying the objective for diversification outlined for this segment.

Considered by "Emerging Trends" of PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2012 as the 3rd best city for investing and the financial capital of Eastern Europe, Warsaw has been the target of a strong demand in the market of offices and retail spaces. With this excess demand, the Polish real estate market needs to increase its offer, which augments the range of opportunities to expand and consolidate the activity of Mota-Engil Central Europe.

Following a strategy of geographic expansion and diversification, the company has been consolidating its presence in various regions of Poland and doing business in new segments, specifically in civil construction and environmental works.

Contradicting the decline in production of the construction sector in Poland in 2012, the activity in the geographical area of Central Europe showed considerable growth in relation to 2012, registering 429 million euros, the fruit of an important order book collected in the previous years. The weight of Central Europe in the Group's activity rose from 18% in 2011 to 19% in 2012.

In the 2012 performance, the following contract works made a significant contribution:

  • Motorway S8: Jeżewo-Bialystok;
  • Motorway S8: Wroclaw-Olesnica;
  • Motorway S8: Syców-Kępno-Wieruszów;
  • Motorway S3: Międzyrzecz-Sulechów;
  • Motorway S17: Kurów-Lublin;
  • Motorway S3: Gorzów Wielkopolski-Międzyrzec;
  • Interchanges at Przemyśl;
  • Bridge over the River Vistula: Połaniec;
  • Buildings and car park: Wroclaw University of Technology
  • Airport of Rzeszów-Jasionka

Within the scope of the strategic plan for the region established in 2010, the activity carried out in the real estate area in 2012 had as its main objective the creation and exploration of a portfolio of residential projects near the main centres of Mota-Engil Central Europe operations, among which were the following:

  • Devonska Project, Prague – construction of this multifamily residential complex of 145 apartments was started and its conclusion is projected for the beginning of 2013;

  • City Island, Wroclaw – residential and commercial complex begun in October 2012, with its conclusion set for the beginning of 2014.

  • Hornom Cholupská, Prague – complex of two buildings E and F for residential and commercial purposes begun in July 2012, which is expected to be completed at the end of 2013.

Reflecting the lower number of new contract awards in 2012, the activity in this market is forecasted to be lower in 2013. Nevertheless, the current order book and the perspectives for a recovery in public calls for tenders guarantee a sustained level of activity in Central Europe in the coming years.

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

Latin America

In Latin America, the region with the greatest growth in turnover in 2012, the Mota-Engil Group is currently concentrating its activity in Peru and Mexico. In the third quarter, however, engineering and construction activity was started in Brazil. In Colombia, the Group was awarded its first project, with various others under study. This region already represents 14% of the Group's activity, in line with the goals of the Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan (2015: about 27% of the turnover of the Mota-Engil Group).

The 2012 turnover in this market was 314 million euros, which represents a remarkable growth of about 93.1% in comparison to the previous year (2011: 163 million euros).

In regard to operating profitability, there was a decline in the EBITDA margins, from 13.7% in 2011 to 10.6% in 2012, due in part to the diversification efforts in this region, mainly in terms of the types of works, which led to pressure on the margins. On the other hand, this diversification will enable the Group to mitigate the risks associated with the excessive concentration of customers and their business areas.

The order book of the region was strengthened, which totalled about 867 million euros at the end of 2012.

Mota-Engil Peru, a major company of the Peruvian market, again performed well in 2012. The financial stability of the market and the strong economic growth of the country allowed the Group to continue carrying out its strategy for the growth and diversification of the company. This company also began taking important steps in the real estate sector. Following the conclusion and sale of the entire first property "Edificio Salaverry", and the licencing phase for the premium residential project "La Ponciana", the company continues with its expansion plans and began a new project - "Los Castaños".

In fact, the activity in Peru, previously more focused on earth-moving works for the mining sector, has been progressively diversified into other sectors, specifically highway construction, water works, fluvial-maritime projects, the signing of multi-annual contracts for the upkeep and maintenance of infrastructures and the management of port concessions.

This bet on the diversification of activities has made a decisive contribution to the excellent performance in the Peruvian market, which had a 2012 turnover of 244 million euros (2011: 129 million). The order book had sustained growth in 2012, totalling 373 million euros, which justifies the Group's high expectations for this market.

With the construction sector in evident expansion in Mexico, the Group has the opportunity to consolidate its presence in one of the largest countries of Latin America. In 2012, construction on the "Perote-Banderilla y

Libramiento de Xalapa" motorway carried on, following the 75-million euro amendment to the original contract in 2011. Mota-Engil Mexico, as part of a consortium, won the awarding of a contract for the construction, maintenance and renovation of the Guadalajara-Colima motorway over a distance of 145 km. The contract, with a total value of about 195 million euros, involves an investment in construction of around 90 million euros, the remainder coming from the maintenance work to be done over the contract's 12-year period. For Mota-Engil, which holds 20% of the consortium, this project will represent a portfolio of 40 million euros in a project that will have one-third of its overall invoicing issued in the first 24 months, related to the construction and renovation works.

In Brazil, the Mota-Engil Group reached an agreement for the acquisition of the majority of the share capital of a Brazilian construction company - Empresa Construtora Brasil, S.A, a company with vast experience in the Brazilian market. With this acquisition, the Group hopes that the Latin American geographical area will begin to count on the Brazilian market to make a significant contribution to its turnover, for this purpose taking advantage of the short and medium-term opportunities that exist, but above all, contributing to the perspectives for the sustainability of the infrastructure construction activity in the country. The year was marked by the signing of a contract, in a consortium with the Brazilian company CONIC, for the expansion of the Enotel Resort & Spa Porto Galinhas, for an overall amount of 57 million euros.

The Group also has as a strategic objective the expansion of its presence in the region, specifically to Colombia, a market that has excellent rates of economic growth and strong plans for investments in public infrastructures. Through Mota-Engil Colômbia and the local branch of Mota-Engil Engenharia, the Group is actively participating in public calls for tender in this market. The Group has already been awarded a project in this country, and its goal is to quickly build up its order book, principally through partnerships, which includes the agreement signed with the Odinsa Group.

ASCENDI GROUP

The Ascendi Group is the product of a partnership created between the Mota-Engil Group and the Banco Espírito Santo Group for the area of concessions in transports.

The process of concentration of the holdings began in 2010, with a capital increase of the Ascendi Group, fully subscribed by ESConcessões, through the entry in kind of the latter's stake in the Norte, Costa de Prata, Beiras Litoral e Alta, and Grande Porto concessions. In 2012 the process of the transfer of holdings continued, with the conclusion of the acquisition of the ESConcessões stake in SCUTVIAS.

Ascendi Group Structure

Following the events of 2012, the make-up in the shareholders list of the subsidiary companies subject to the reorganisation process was modified, the current structure being as shown in the following table.

The transfer of the remaining holdings is to be concluded in the course of 2013. The following table presents the current portfolio and that which is expected to be in place, once the entire transfer process of the holdings is complete.

Reorganisation of the holdings in Portugal

Within the scope of the process of reorganising its holdings, on 20 June 2012, the Ascendi Group became the holder of 22.23% of the company Scutvias – Autoestradas da Beira Interior, S.A. This company was constituted on 28 July, 1999, and has as its main object under the regime of concession to engage in the design, project development, construction or expansion of the number of carriageways, financing, upkeep and operation of the motorways and sets of associated roadways in Beira Interior (Portugal).

ASCENDI O&M

In 2012, Ascendi O&M's business activity proceeded as planned. In regard to the consolidation of the exclusively electronic toll collection system – Multi-Lane Free-Flow, 16 new collection points were put into operation in the Pinhal Interior Subconcession, making a total of 22 points in operation in this Subconcession. With these new openings, Ascendi O&M S.A.'s operations rose to a total of 120 exclusively electronic collection points.

ASCENDI IGI – INOVAÇÃO E GESTÃO DE INFRAESTRUTURAS

Constituted in November 2011, Ascendi IGI began operations in 2012, not only providing services for the operation of highways and their maintenance, but also engaging in research and development activities for the sustainable management of highway infrastructures.

One of its important projects has to do with the development of a platform for the structured and interdisciplinary management of maintenance processes for all the main infrastructure elements – including engineering works, surfaces, embankments or supporting walls – and the equipment, e.g., highway telematics equipment. Once the objectives established for this project have been completed, the platform will be constituted as a tool that can be made available on the market, giving the user appropriate and timely information on the state of repair of the infrastructures and enabling the development of quantified projections on the proximate performance of the main elements. This will give users high-quality added support for the decisions that must be made in regard to the implementation of preventative and corrective actions for the conservation of the infrastructure.

ASCENDI DOURO INTERIOR

In 2012, the project design and construction activities in the Subconcession of Douro Interior were completed, and the last two stretches were opened to traffic: the road sections between the interchanges of Carlão and Pombal and between the interchanges of Nozelos and Mogadouro, both on the IC5. This subconcession now has the entire distance of 242 km under its operation.

ASCENDI PINHAL INTERIOR

In 2012, about 90 km of new roads of both categories—motorways as well as highways—were opened to traffic, specifically: i) as national highways, 2 stretches of the Sertã – Oleiros section, 16 km long; the section of Cernache do Bonjardim – IC8, 4 km in length; and the Proença-a-Nova – Perdigão section (A23), 16 km long, which completes the IC8 route from the A17 to the A23; and ii) in the category of motorways, the road sections of A13/IC3 between Avelar Norte and Condeixa, 17 km in length; from Alvaiázere to Tomar, 27 km; and the section of A13-1 between the Condeixa interchange on A13 and the A1 (Condeixa), over a distance of 10 km.

In August of this year, Ascendi Pinhal Interior and EP (Portuguese Highways) signed a memorandum of understanding, subject to the approval of financing entities, by which they established the main conditions for reducing the length of the subconcession and for reducing the investment in construction and operations, the definitive economic and financial terms of which are under negotiation and also subject to the prior approval of the financing entities.

LUSOPONTE

2012 was marked by the formalisation by the Portuguese State of the IX Financial Equilibrium Agreement, which had been under discussion since 2010. This new agreement takes into account the effects from the introduction of toll charges on the bridge "25 de Abril" in August 2012 and 2011. This formalisation makes possible a reduction in the amounts the State pays to Lusoponte until 2019.

As a consequence of the macroeconomic recession dominating the conjuncture Portugal is experiencing, traffic in the Concession suffered an overall contraction of 4.9%, which was somewhat asymmetrical between the two crossings. The drop was less accentuated on the "25 de Abril" Bridge (a decline of 2.9%) than that seen on the Vasco da Gama Bridge, which was 9.7% lower.

Brazil - CONCESSÃO RODOVIAS DO TIETÊ (CRT)

In 2012, it is important to note the strengthened position of the Ascendi Group in Brazil, resulting from the acquisition of 10% of the capital of CRT, so that Ascendi now holds 50% of the capital of this company, equal to the share held by Atlantia Bertin Participações S.A. (a company formed by the Brazilian entity Bertin Group (50%) and by the Italian company Atlantia (50%)).

This year was especially important for CRT, being marked by the start-up of the main works for the expansion of the road network, the consolidation of the process-based management model (BPM) and the completion of the construction of its new headquarters.

The works for the expansion and improvements in the highway network included the construction of the new bypass at Piracicaba, 9 km long, and the doubling of 32 km of carriageways on SP-101 and of 51 km on SP-308. Also completed in the first half of the year were the improvement works on the paving surfaces of about 200 km of other highways.

Just as important as the start-up of the large works was the consolidation of the BPM. During the course of the year, all the strategic, operating and support processes of the Concessionaire were developed and implemented, thus allowing the goals and performance indicators to be shared at all levels of the organisation.

Finally, the completion of the new headquarters provided a greater integration between the operating and administrative departments, due to the installation of the new Operational Control Centre as well as the proximity of the main highways under concession.

Mexico - CONCESSIONÁRIA AUTOPISTA PEROTE-XALAPA (COPEXA)

2012 was marked by the completion of the construction works and the subsequent opening of all the road sections to traffic, anticipating the scheduled date for the opening by about a month. The Perote-Banderilla stretch, about 30 km in length, was completed and opened to traffic in July and the ringroad at Xalapa, also about 30 km in length, was finished in November.

Mozambique – ESTRADAS DO ZAMBEZE

On 1 August 2012, tolls began to be collected on the Samora Machel Bridge. The works in progress went as planned, so that the conclusion of the works continues to be projected for September 2014. The works on the New Tete Bridge and related access viaducts are about 60% complete. Important happenings at the operating company Estradas do Zambeze include the April start-up of the routine maintenance work on the Tete-Cassacatiza (N9) and Mussacama-Calomué (N304) routes.

4. MOTA-ENGIL on the stock market

Mota-Engil's share price that had started rising in the third quarter of 2012, had an outstanding performance in the fourth quarter of the year, allowing for an annual performance of 51.4% (27.9% in the fourth quarter) in what was one of the best performances among the companies included in the PSI 20 index, that only rose 2.9% in the year (8.7% in the fourth quarter). This positive evolution of the equity market and of Mota-Engil's stock, particularly in the last quarter of the year, reflects the measures announced by the European Central Bank aimed at fighting the Euro zone financial crisis, namely the intention to buy public debt of the countries under financial assistance. As a result, bond yields of the Portuguese public debt had initiated a descending trajectory and positively contaminated the equity market, leading to stock prices of the majority of the listed companies to soar.

The performance of the share price is shown in the following charts:

The price target for Mota-Engil's stock, according to the five analysts that followed the stock, ranged from 1.50 euros to 2.55 euros (the stock's closing price on December 31st, 2012 was 1.567 euros).

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

With regard to volume, 42 million shares were traded in 2012, 7% less than the previous year .The evolution of liquidity is shown in the following charts:

The company paid out a gross dividend of 11 cents per share during the first half, providing a dividend yield of 9.4% on the average share price during the year.

The Company's Board of Directors is pleased to present in this report its proposal for the appropriation of profits calling for the payment of a dividend of 11 cents per share.

5. Risk management

Risk management has as its main objective the creation of value, through the processes of management and control of uncertainties and threats that can affect the Group and its subsidiaries, having an underlying perspective of on-going operations in the long term.

Exposure to risk by any subsidiary of the Mota-Engil Group should always be subordinate to its strategy and be limited and accessory to its activity, so that all can achieve the objectives outlined individually, as in the business areas and the Group.

The process of risk management is the responsibility of each of the Boards of Directors of the Group's business areas, in general being carried out through a set of sequential stages or phases that repeat themselves cyclically and which are presented below.

  • Identification of risk: determination of risks that the organisation is exposed to and the level of tolerance of exposure to those risks;
  • Measurement of risk: quantification of the exposures to risk and preparation of reports on which to base the decision-making process;
  • Risk control and management: definition of actions to be taken to deal with risk;
  • Implementation of defined risk management measures;
  • Monitoring: evaluation of the risk management process and, if necessary, realignment and redefinition of strategies;

It should be noted, however, that for the coordination of the process done at the business areas level, The Mota-Engil Group has various committees that are set up as consulting bodies, whose mission consists of accompanying matters of primary importance for sustained development, providing an independent and objective vision that supports the decision-making process of the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A.

Among these, stands out the Audit and Risk Committee, whose main function is to appraise investment and business risk policies and Group projects, examine and issue opinions on investment or divestment projects, issue opinions on getting into and out of new business areas, new markets and monitor relevant financial and corporate operations.

Therefore, the main risks that the Group is subject to, and which are covered below, are accompanied by the internal reports of the heads of business areas and reports by this committee, in conjunction with information compiled by those who are in positions of corporate responsibility, in particular, the Legal Department, the Department of Planning and Corporate Management Control, the Department of Corporate Finance and the Corporate Department of Human Resources.

The Audit and Risk Committee, with its mission of supporting the management of the Mota-Engil Group in reinforcing the means and methods of action at the internal control level and the anticipation of business risk, mission that operates through the Office of Audit and Risk, resource structure of which is specifically allocated to the following functions:

  • Identification and assessment of risks, suggesting the establishment of acceptable levels of risk in light of the defined management objectives;

  • Issuance of opinions regarding changes in the level of risk in the business deals of the Mota-Engil Group;

  • Minimisation of operating inefficiencies and losses, thus strengthening Mota-Engil Group's capacity, by identifying potentially damaging events, assessing risks and proposing responses, in this way reducing unforeseen costs or losses;
  • Identification of transverse risks within the Group, auditing the implementation of corporate policies and good practices of the Mota-Engil Group;
  • Issuance of advance opinions regarding risks inherent in the acquisitions or transfers of ownership decided by the Mota-Engil Group;
  • Audit of conformity in the development of processes or activities in all areas and companies that are materially relevant to the Mota-Engil Group.

Once the risk mapping are materially relevant to Mota-Engil Group is completed, internal audits are made annually in various companies of the Group, seeking to promote efficiency in the means of internal control and the improvement of the corresponding business processes. This methodology guarantees a dynamic character in the monitoring of risks in each of the operations of the Group, promoting the appropriate actions in light of the perceived risk and accompanying its development.

Conjunctural risks

As a result of the credit crisis experienced in Europe, particularly in Spain, Greece, Italy, Ireland and Portugal, the European Commission created the European Financial Stabilisation Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM) to grant funds to countries of the Eurozone that find themselves in financial difficulties and who seek that aid. In March 2011, the European Council agreed on the need for countries in the Eurozone to implement a permanent stability mechanism, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which will be activated by mutual agreement to assume the role of the EFSF and the EFSM in providing external financial aid to the Eurozone countries after June 2013.

In spite of the measures mentioned, there remain concerns related to the debt burden of certain countries of the Eurozone and their capacity to meet future financial obligations; to the stability of the Euro in general; and to the suitability of the Euro as a single currency given the adverse economic and political circumstances in some Member-States, taken individually. The high levels of sovereign debt and fiscal deficits in various Member-States raise concerns regarding the financial condition of credit institutions, insurance companies and other businesses (i) based in the Member-States in question, (ii) with direct or indirect exposure to these states, or (iii) whose service providers, financers or suppliers are exposed to those Member-States. A significant decrease in the credit risk rating of one or more sovereign States or financial institutions could have a negative effect on the financial system as a whole and adversely affect, in ways that are hard to predict, some of the markets where the Group operates.

According to the World Economic Outlook of the International Monetary Fund for January 2013, the real gross domestic product of the Eurozone fell 0.4% in 2012. The available statistics and survey indicators continue to point towards a further weakening of activity that will probably extend through 2013, reflecting the negative impact on the internal expenditure resulting from weak consumer and investor confidence and a moderate external demand. Nevertheless, more recently there has been a general stabilisation in various indicators of the conjuncture, although at low levels, and confidence in the financial markets improved significantly. Over the course of 2013, a gradual recovery is expected to start taking place, accompanied by a significant improvement in the confidence in the financial markets, with a stronger external demand supporting the growth in exports.

The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the Eurozone remain on the down side, being mainly related to the slow rhythm of implementation of structural reforms, geopolitical issues and disequilibrium in major

industrialised countries, factors that could delay the recovery of private investment, employment and consumption.

In spite of the significantly improved confidence in the financial markets and the lower aversion to risk by investors in the Eurozone, the Mota-Engil Group continues to focus its strategy in geographic diversification, according to that which was established in the last two strategic plans, called Ambition 2013 Strategic Plan (2008) and Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan (2012). In fact, since 2008 the Portuguese market's share in the Group's activity has been dropping systematically, currently representing 40% of the turnover. Ambition 2.0 foresees that the markets of Portugal, Africa and Latin America will each have an equal weight in the Group's activity in 2015, on the order of 30%, which represents less exposure of the Group to the conjunctural risks in the various geographic markets where it operates.

Financial Risk Management

The Mota-Engil Group, like all other companies and businesses, is exposed to a variety of financial risks, with special focus given to the risks of interest rates, foreign exchange rates for transactions and conversions, liquidity and credit.

This set of financial risks results from carrying out the business activity and leads to uncertainties related to the capacity to generate cash flows and returns that are adequate for the remuneration of equity capital.

The Group's financial risk management policy seeks to minimize the adverse impacts and effects resulting from the uncertainty characteristic of financial markets. This uncertainty, reflected in various facets, demands special attention and concrete and effective management measures.

The financial risk management activity is coordinated by the Department of Corporate Finance, with the aid and support of the Department of Planning and Corporate Management Control, and is carried according to the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, with the consultative interventions of the Audit, Investment and Risk Committee, delegated by the Board, without ever ceasing to be the responsibility of the Board of Directors of each of the business units of the Mota-Engil Group.

The Group's position in relation to financial risk management is cautious and conservative, resorting, when advisable, to derivative instruments for hedging, always from the viewpoint that these are related to the normal and on-going activity of the Company, never assuming positions in derivatives or other financial instruments of a speculative nature.

The various types of financial risk are interrelated and the various management measures, even if specific to each one, are interconnected in large measure, this integration contributing to the pursuit of the same objective, which is the reduction of the volatility of cash flow and expected levels of profitability.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk management policy has the objective of optimising the cost of debt and obtaining a reduced level of volatility in the financial costs, in other words, it aims to control and mitigate the risk of incurring losses as a result of variations in the interest rates that the Group's financial debt is indexed to, most of which is in Euros.

Until 2008, several operations of fixing or limiting variations in interest rates on loans were carried out in various business areas, mainly those indexed to Euribor, by swap contracting or making other structured operations on derivatives, at zero cost, which contributed (and will continue to contribute in the future) to financial costs being less sensitive to any rises in the interest rates.

The contracting of these operations had as its underlying rationale the pursuit of the objective to achieve and/or maintain the hedging at around 30% of the Group's corporate debt, normally issued in the regime of indexed or variable rate.

After 2008, in light of the stagnation that short and medium-long term interest rates have been resigned to, holding steady at historical lows, following the serious and prolonged economic-financial crisis that we are going through, new hedge operations for that risk have not been made. The Group is, however, keeping an eye out for the inversion of that tendency that will certainly accompany the inevitable recovery of economies in the coming years.

Exchange rate risk

The policy of foreign exchange rate risk management seeks to reduce the volatility in investments and operations made in foreign currency (currency other than the Euro), contributing towards the results being less sensitive to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate.

The exposure of the Mota-Engil Group to foreign exchange rate risk results, primarily, from the fact that several of its subsidiaries are located in other markets, primarily Angola and Central Europe, where the activity represents an increasingly important share of the turnover, but also from their presence in Central and South America, in the Peruvian, Mexican and Brazilian markets, in particular. These markets bring new challenges, with the exposure to new currencies and new economic and financial realities.

In terms of foreign exchange rate risk management the intent is to, whenever possible and advisable, carry out the natural hedging of exposed amounts, by resorting to financial debt assumed in the foreign currency in which the amounts at risk are shown. Whenever this is not possible or appropriate, contracts are made or other operations are carried out, based on structured derivative instruments, using a logic to minimise their cost, specifically for hedging the risks in future foreign exchange transactions, with a high degree of certainty regarding the amount and date of completion.

Liquidity risk

The policy of managing liquidity risk seeks to guarantee that there are funds available at every moment in the Group and its subsidiaries, sufficient for them to meet, in a timely manner, all the financial obligations assumed. The point, then, is to ensure that the Group has the financial means (balances and financial revenue flows) needed to meet commitments (financial expenditure flows) at the moment these become due.

The achieving of high levels of financial flexibility, fundamental for the management of this risk, has been accomplished by resorting to the following management measures:

  • Establishment of partnerships with financial entities, ensuring their financial support to the Group with a long-term vision, in the best or the most unfavourable conjunctures that cyclically affect all businesses.
  • Opening and maintaining surplus short-term lines of credit that serve as liquidity reserves, available for use at any moment.
  • Carrying out strict financial planning by company, accomplished through the creation and periodic revision of cash budgets, making it possible to predict future cash surpluses or deficits and to achieve the integrated and optimised management of financial flows between the Group's subsidiaries
  • Financing of medium-long term investments, adapting the debt maturity dates and the payment plan on the liabilities resulting from the financing to the capacity to generate cash flows at each project or

company

  • Start of the negotiation process for refinancing medium and long-term loans due within the year, with at least six months in advance of the corresponding maturity
  • Maintaining a debt structure in the companies with levels of medium and long-term financing situated between 60 and 70%, thereby reducing their dependency on more volatile short-term funds and creating a certain immunity to conjunctural factors in the financial markets
  • Scaling the maturity dates of the financial debt over time, seeking to extend the average debt maturity to make it coincide better with the degree of permanence of some long-term assets held by the Group
  • Seeking new sources of financing and new financers, with the objective of:
  • Geographic diversification capture of resources in the various markets where the Group is active
  • Diversification of debt instruments capture of funds from alternative sources

The effective management of liquidity risk is closely tied to the appropriate management of the remaining financial risks that contribute simultaneously to the accomplishment of this objective, ensuring the obtaining of cash flows at the times and in the amounts planned.

Credit risk

The credit risk management policy seeks to guarantee that the Group's subsidiaries promote the effective collection and receipt of their credits over third parties within the deadlines established and/or negotiated for that purpose.

The exposure of the Group to credit risk is mainly dependent on the accounts receivable as a result of the normal exercise of its business activities, with the activities as service provider and/or retail sales requiring special attention.

The mitigation of this risk is obtained preventatively, before the exposure to risk, by resorting to entities supplying information and credit risk profiles that provide a basis on which to make decisions regarding the granting of credit. Later, after the credit is granted, the maintenance of credit and collection control structures is ensured, and, in certain more specific cases, the company seeks recourse to credit insurance contracts with credible insurers in the market. These measures contribute towards maintaining credits over customers within levels that are not susceptible to affecting the financial health of the Group's subsidiaries.

The Group has operated for more than 65 years on an on-going basis in Angola, a country where, as is common knowledge, the petroleum economy represents 85% of the gross domestic product, so that the dollar value per barrel exerts an especially heavy influence on Angola's capacity to invest in infrastructures or even meet its obligations. The policies adopted by the Angolan leadership have led to a continual reinforcement of the foreign currency reserves to the point that, according to data from the State General Budget for 2013, the Net International Reserves (NIR) will have been 33.7 billion dollars at the end of 2012, compared to the amount of 26.1 billion dollars the year before and which reflects the favourable performance of the external component.

The State General Budget, already approved for 2013, foresees strong growth in the real GDP, with the oil sector growing 6.6% and the non-oil at 7.3%. Notwithstanding the confirmation of these extremely positive numbers for the Angolan economy, Mota-Engil has sought to intervene in construction projects with guaranteed financing from the SGB, or financed by international organisations, seeking furthermore to supplement the offer by raising lines of international financing, or even domestic financing directly from the Angolan State. Doing so means that, in the projects awarded to the company, there is a guarantee of revenue flow adjusted to its production costs and the direct support for a large portion of the import costs for materials and goods associated with production,

thus avoiding the constraints related to obtaining foreign currency and exporting it. Despite all these actions, in Angola financing from the working capital is an important challenge that the Mota-Engil Group has learned to manage with support as well from the Angolan banking system, which has played an important role in financing the economy. Note that these mitigation measures, as well as the acquired knowledge in risk management in Angola, have been used successfully in other countries where the Group operates.

The credit risk management policy adopted by Mota-Engil ensures that the Group is not exposed to a significant credit risk with any customer in particular. In fact, the activities carried out are based on a high number of customers, spread out over various areas of business and geographic regions.

6. Group's human capital management

Maintaining as its Mission the development of a global management of the Group's human capital, the performance of the Department of Human Resources, in 2012, concentrated on the response to new challenges placed on the development of human capital, resulting from the definition of a new model of organisation by Mota-Engil.

In this regard, 2012 was characterised, on the one hand, by the continuation of the work in defining, implementing and consolidating corporate policies and models for human resources, and on the other hand, by the response to the newly defined challenges:

    1. Consolidate the new organisational model as a support to the development of a structure with capacity to respond to the challenges of a growing internationalization.
    1. Reinforce a centralised management of human resources as support for the universalization of models and policies, each region being responsible for adapting and customising the procedures in light of the corresponding context and specificities, as well as in line with the outlined goals and identified needs.
    1. Continue betting on people through a close and active management of the development of human resources, by promoting talent, fostering a rewards system and ensuring the geographic and functional mobility of staff members.

Focusing its performance on the response to the new challenges of the global management of human resources within the Mota-Engil universe, the following human capital development initiatives can be highlighted.

The role of human resources in the Group

As a result of defining the organisational matrix supported by the four regions of the Mota-Engil Group, 2012 saw the reorganisation of the role of human resources within the Group.

Within this context, combined with the strategic role of the management of human capital and the corporate role as support to the organisational model, with a view to defining a sole management model that is transversal throughout the Group and to monitoring the fulfilment of the transverse guidelines for human resources, 2012 also saw a strengthening of regional structures of human resource management. In this way, Mota-Engil sought to consolidate the principle of global management of the Group's human capital by reinforcing transversality on the one hand, and, on the other, by integrating the specificities of the different geographic areas and businesses.

Corporate policies and models

Providing continuity to the work already developed, there was a reinforcement of the implementation of corporate policies and models in the four regions of the Mota-Engil universe, highlighting in particular in 2012 the projects developed around the structures of duties in the various regions, in line with the corporate model of duties and skills and with the Group's reorganisation.

In fact, while some of the regions in the Group promoted the analysis, consolidation and reorganisation of the corresponding structure of duties, based on the corporate model of duties and skills, in other places, the first steps were taken in implementing this corporate model and in creating a common language for managing people, which will support the development of other human resource management policies in the future.

Promotion of talent in the Mota-Engil Group

In 2012 year the focus on the on-going bet on people was maintained, as evidenced by the following initiative carried out:

The start@ME Programme, with the objective of welcoming and integrating a Group of newlylicensed young people from various locations, enables:

  • the Mota-Engil Group to benefit from young people with high potential, a spirit of leadership and the motivation to embrace challenges;
  • these new teams to develop a vision and knowledge of the Group, being capable of stimulating synergy and facilitating internal mobility;
  • the promotion of a preparation for the future, guaranteeing the rejuvenation of the Group.

Based on the aforementioned mission defined for the Trainees Corporate Welcome Programme, during the year in question, two programmes were developed that would respond to the needs for recruiting and retaining young talent in the markets of Peru and Angola.

Geographic and functional mobility of the staff members

As a result of the strategy that has been followed by the business, the strategic axis of the human resources department oriented towards the promotion of internationalisation and mobility of staff was reinforced, as reflected in the consolidation of a set of processes and instruments that sustain an adequate management of employees in international mobility within the Group.

On the other hand, the corporate model of recruiting and integration was consolidated in 2012, resulting in internal mobility and the rotation of staff members between the different business areas and/or locations, making it possible, on one side, to respond to the recruitment needs of the Group and on the other, contribute to the retention of talent.

In 2012 the organisational changes occurring in the Mota-Engil Group stand out, giving rise to new challenges for the human resource strategy, never abandoning, however, the principle of there being only «one Group, one Project and one Strategy».

The year 2013 will necessarily lead to the consolidation and reinforcement of the role of human resources in the Group, based on an international strategy and having as its mission to support the achievement of the goals outlined in Mota-Engil's new strategic plan: Ambition 2.0.

7. Activity carried out by non-executive Board Members

During the year, the non-executive directors participated regularly in the meetings of the Board of Directors, discussing the issues being analysed and expressing their opinions about strategic directives and specific areas of business. Whenever necessary, they maintained direct contact with the corporate directors and business managers.

8. Proposal for the appropriation of results

The Individual Management Report contains the following proposal: The Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA proposes to the annual general meeting the following distribution of the net result of the financial year, in the amount of 31,006,109 euros, which already includes the amounts of 700,000 euros and 300,000 euros allocated for the distribution of profits to the Board of Directors, pursuant to the terms of Art. 27(3) of the Statutes, and to the workers, respectively:

  • a) For the legal reserve, 5%, corresponding to 1,550,305 euros and 45 cents;
  • b) For distribution to the shareholders, 11 cents per share, subject to taxes, in the overall amount of 22,509,926 euros and 45 cents;
  • c) For free reserves, the remainder, in the amount of 6,945,877 euros and 10 cents.

9. The Outlook for 2013

In 2012, the Group announced the update of its Strategic Plan, and submitted the Ambition Plan 2.0, which, reinforcing the strategic force, has adapted to the new organization of the Group around the four regions where we consolidated our operations.

As we look to 2013 and for the subsequent years, framed by the performance achieved in 2012 and by the thinking behind the development of Ambition Plan 2.0, we are certain that it will be possible to achieve the goals that we draw here:

  • Maintenance of the levels of Growth of the Consolidated Turnover, supported in the order book in the foreign markets and strengthening of the internationalisation efforts of diversification;
  • Maintenance of the margins in Portugal, despite reduced Turnover;
  • Reduction of Turnover in Central Europe and efforts to recover margins;
  • Growth in Turnover in Africa, with sustained margins and enhanced geographic diversification and business;
  • Improved margins in Latin America, with growth in turnover supported in the contribution of new markets;

  • Reduction in the contribution from the Ascendi Group to the Result of the Group;

  • Order book above 3.5 billion euros, supported in international activity.

Please note that this outlook does not represent a commitment to the future performance of the Group, but only to the best predictive capacity, today, about the future of their business activity. Therefore, the performance that can be effectively achieved in 2013 may substantially differ from these forecasts. Moreover, Mota-Engil does not undertake to make updates or corrections of this information due to changes in any endogenous or exogenous factor that might affect the performance of the Group.

10. Subsequent events

On February 7 Mota-Engil announced the initial public offer for subscription and admission to trading on the Euronext Lisbon securities exchange, managed by Euronext Lisbon – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulamentados, SA of up to 150,000 non-registered bonds, nominative, with a nominal unitary value of €500, to be issued by Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, representing the debenture loan " Mota-Engil Fixed Rate Bonds 2013/2016" in a total amount of up to 75,000,000 euros, with the possibility of increasing the amount by a decision to be made by Mota-Engil by March 6, 2013.

On March 5, 2013, Mota-Engil decided to increase the maximum overall nominal amount of the debenture loan to 175,000,000 euros and the maximum number of bonds to be issued to 350,000.

The offer is a public offer for subscription made to the general public, with a fixed interest rate of 6.85 per cent. Interest will be paid twice yearly and in arrears, and the Bonds will be fully repaid at their nominal value, in a single payment on March 18, 2016. The calculation of the results of the Offer took place on March 14, 2013, and the physical settlement for the Bonds took place on March 18, 2013, in the amount of 175,000,000 euros.

This bond issue will allow Mota-Engil to increase the average maturity of its debt and adjust the amortisation profile to the expected expansion of business foreseen in the Ambition 2.0 Strategic Plan, which involves internationalisation.

11. Closing remarks

In closing, we express our gratitude for the personal and professional dedication shown by the employees of the Mota-Engil Group, the members of the corporate governing bodies, the customers and all those related to the Group's various companies.

1. Accounting policies

1.1. Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Mota-Engil Group were prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies comprising the Group, in a manner such that the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and with the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or by the former Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC), as adopted by the European Union.

Interim consolidated financial statements have been presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.

For the Group, there are no differences between the IFRS adopted by the European Union and the IFRS published by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1 January 2005 marked the beginning of the period of first application by the Group of IAS/IFRS, pursuant to IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards.

The following amendment endorsed by the European Union, of mandatory application in the fiscal year started on 1 January 2012, was adopted for the first time by the Mota-Engil Group in the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2012, where this adoption did not have a significant effect.

Fiscal years started on or after the said date.

For the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2012, the Group decided on the early adoption of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, which replaces the existing guidelines in the different IFRS standards in relation to the measurement of fair value. This adoption was carried out in accordance with the transitional provisions of this standard, with the greatest changes, in relation to the previous standard, operating in terms of the valuation of derivative financial instruments. The determination of fair value for these derivative financial instruments is classified and placed under level 2 of the respective hierarchy defined in the standard, since it now incorporates an estimate of the credit risk of the company holding the derivative instrument. With the exception of IFRS 13, and as they are not mandatory, the Group does not currently apply any of the standards referred to above, since the effects of their application has not yet been fully estimated at the present date.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro since this is the main currency of the Group's operations. The financial statements of the subsidiaries in foreign currency were converted into Euro in accordance with the accounting policies described in subparagraph xv) of the main valuation criteria of the estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors were based on their knowledge of the events and transaction in course, as at the date of approval of the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with IAS/IFRS, the Group's Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates which affect the reported assets and liabilities, as well as the income and costs incurred relative to the reported periods, which are described in subparagraph xxv) of the main valuation criteria of this Note.

The consolidated financial statements attached herewith were prepared for appraisal and approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Group's Board of Directors believes that they will be approved without amendment.

1.2. Basis of consolidation

The following methods of consolidation are adopted by the Group:

a) Group companies

Financial holdings in companies in which the Group holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at General Meetings of Shareholders/Partners and/or has the power to control their financial and operating policies (the definition of «control» used by the Group), were included in the consolidated financial statements attached herewith through the full consolidation method. The equity and net income of these companies corresponding to third party holdings in these companies are presented in the statement of the consolidated financial position (under the equity heading) and in the consolidated income statement (included in consolidated net income), respectively, under the subheadings of non-controlling interests.

When losses attributable to minorities exceed the minority interest in the equity of the subsidiary, the Group absorbs this excess and any additional loss, unless the minorities have the obligation and capacity to cover these losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Group appropriates all the profits until the minority's share of the absorbed losses have been recovered.

The net income of the subsidiaries acquired or sold during the fiscal year are included in the income statements as of their date of taking control or up to the date of their sale (assignment of control), with these effects always being reported as at 1 January each fiscal year.

Transactions, balances and dividends distributed between Group companies are eliminated in the consolidation process.

In situations where the Group holds, in substance, the control of other entities created for a specific purpose (SPEs), even no holding are held directly in their share capital, these entities are consolidated through the full consolidation method. As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, there are no entities in this situation.

b) Associates

Financial investments in associates (companies where Group exercise significant influence, but does not control them, through participation in the financial and operating decisions of the associate – generally investments representing 20% to 50% of the share capital of a company) are recorded through the equity method, under the heading "Financial investments stated through the equity method".

Pursuant to the equity method, financial holdings are recorded at their acquisition cost, adjusted by the value corresponding to the Group's holding in the changes in equity (including net income) of the associates against gains or losses for the fiscal year and by the dividends received, net of accumulated impairment losses.

The assets and liabilities of each associate (including contingent liabilities) are identified at their fair value on the acquisition date. Any surplus/shortfall of the acquisition cost relative to the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is recognised, respectively, as a positive consolidation difference ("Goodwill"), and added to the value of the financial investment, or, in the case of a shortfall which is maintained after reconfirmation of the fair value measurement process, stated in the income statement for the year.

A valuation is made of the investments in associates when there is indication that the asset might be impaired, with a loss being recorded in the income statement whenever this is confirmed. When impairment losses recognised in previous periods no longer exist, they are reversed.

When the Group's proportion in the accumulated losses of the associate exceed the value at which the investment is recorded, the investment is stated at zero until the equity becomes positive, unless the Group has assumed commitments with the associated, in which case a provision is recorded to meet such liabilities.

Unrealised gains on transactions with associates are eliminated in proportion to the Group's interest in the associate

against the investment in that same associate. Unrealised losses are likewise eliminated, but only up to the point at which the loss does not show evidence that the transferred asset is in a situation of impairment.

Whenever necessary, the financial statements of the associates are adjusted to ensure their consistency with the accounting policies used by the Group.

c) Joint ventures

As of 1 January 2010, financial interest in joint ventures started to be consolidated in the financial statements attached herewith through the equity method. Pursuant to this method, financial holdings are recorded at their acquisition cost, adjusted by the value corresponding to the Group's holding in the changes of equity (including net income) of these companies against gains or losses for the year and by the dividends received, net of accumulated impairment losses.

The classification of financial interests held in joint ventures is determined based:

  • on the shareholders' agreements regulating the joint venture;
  • on the effective percentage holding;
  • on the voting rights that are held.

Transactions, balances and dividends distributed between joint ventures are eliminated, in proportion to the control attributable to the Group.

d) Incorporated joint ventures (ACEs)

Given the very singular nature of Incorporated Joint Ventures (ACEs), mainly engaged in construction activity, have very specific purposes and are limited in time, their results are included in the consolidated income statement heading by heading, in the proportion of the control attributable to the Group.

1.3. Main valuation criteria

The main valuation criteria, judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements during the periods under review are as follows:

i) Goodwill

Differences between the acquisition price of the financial investments in Group companies (subsidiaries), plus the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed at fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies on the date of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the heading "Goodwill" and, when negative, after revaluation of their calculation, are recorded directly in the income statement. Differences between the acquisition price of financial investments in associates and joint ventures, and the amount attributed at fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies, on the date of their acquisition, when positive, are maintained under the heading "Financial investments stated through the equity method" and when negative, after revaluation of their calculation, are recorded directly in the income statement.

Furthermore, differences between the acquisition cost of investments in subsidiaries based abroad and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries on the date of their acquisition are recorded in the reporting currency of these subsidiaries, and converted to the Group's reporting currency (Euro) at the exchange rate in force on the reporting date. Any currency conversion differences created during this conversion are recorded under the heading "Currency conversion reserve".

Positive consolidation differences generated before the IFRS transition date continue recorded at their net book value, calculated in accordance with the Official Accounting Plan (POC), having been subject to impairment tests on that date. Moreover, and in accordance with the alternative foreseen in IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards, Mota-Engil SGPS did not retrospectively apply the provisions of IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to the positive consolidation differences generated before 1 January 2004, hence, as of this date, these consolidation differences began to be measured in the reporting currency of their subsidiaries at the equivalent value in euros on that date.

The Group, on a transactional basis (for each business combination), decided to measure any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity either at fair value or in proportion to the non-controlling interest in the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity. Prior to 1 January 2012, non-controlling interests were valued exclusively in accordance with the proportion of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.

The value of future contingent payments is recognised as a liability at the time of the business combination in accordance with the its fair value, with any change of the initially stated value being recorded against the value of "Goodwill", but only if this occurs within the remeasurement period (12 months after the acquisition date) and if it is related to events prior to the acquisition date, otherwise it should be recorded against profit or loss.

Transactions of purchase or sale of interests in entities that are already controlled, without such resulting in loss of control, are treated as transactions between equity holders affecting only the equity headings, without there being impact under the "Goodwill" heading or in the income statement.

Furthermore, when a sale transaction generates a loss of control, the assets and liabilities of the entity are derecognised, and any interest retained in the disposed entity should be remeasured at fair value, where any loss or gain calculated with the disposal is recorded through profit or loss.

Up to 1 January 2004, "Goodwill" was amortised during the estimated recovery period of the investment, with the amortisations recorded in the income statement under the heading "Amortisation" for the year. As of 1 January 2004, in accordance with IFRS 3 – "Business Combinations", the Group suspended the amortisation of "Goodwill", subjecting it to impairment tests.

On an annual basis and with reference to the accounts closing date, Mota-Engil carries out formal impairment tests to these business combinations. Whenever the amount at which the positive consolidation difference is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised, recorded in the income statement under the heading "Other operating costs". The recoverable amount is the highest value between net sales price and the value in use. The net sales value is the amount which would be obtained with the disposal of the asset in a transaction within the reach of the parties involved, minus the costs directly attributable to the disposal. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flow that is expected to arise from the continued use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset, individually or, where this is not possible, for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses relative to consolidation differences cannot be reversed.

ii) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition or production cost, minus amortisations and any accumulated impairment losses, and recognised only if it is likely that they will generate future economic benefits for the Group, and if their value can be reasonably measured and if the Group has control over them.

Intangible assets are basically composed of concession operating rights (arising from the adoption of IFRIC 12 and from the processes of imputation of fair value to assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations), which are amortised by the straight line method during their enforcement period, and software, which is amortised by the straight line method over a period between three to six years.

Operating rights arising from the adoption of IFRIC 12 refer to the concession contracts of the Logistics and Water

segments, both of the Portugal Environment & Services area, where the Group:

  • a) Does not have control over the infrastructures it constructed (or will construct) and which it currently operates, since the concession owners control the use of the infrastructures and the conditions under which the services are provided, and due to the fact that the infrastructures revert back to the concession owners at the end of the concession period;
  • b) Receives a right (license) to charge the users in consideration of the services of construction, operation and maintenance of the infrastructures for provision of the public service, which depends on the volume of use of the infrastructures by the users.

Consequently, and pursuant to IFRIC 12, the concessions of the Group companies fall under the Intangible Asset model, where the Group has adopted the following accounting policies on this matter:

  • a) The revenue and expenditure relative to construction services are treated in accordance with IAS 11 Construction contracts. Therefore, all the expenses incurred with the construction of the infrastructures operated by the Group are recorded as costs in the income statement for the year to which they refer. The retribution receivable in exchange for the construction services provided is recorded as revenue in the year to which it refers, in accordance with the percentage completion method, calculated by the ratio between the construction costs incurred and the estimated total construction costs, against the recording of an Intangible Asset ("Concession Operating Licenses").
  • b) "Concession Operating Licenses" are amortised as of the time when they are ready for use and on a systematic basis over the entire lifetime of the concession, using the straight line method or unit production method, as appropriate.
  • c) Revenue and other income relative to operating and maintenance services are treated in accordance with IAS 18 – Revenue. The costs incurred annually in relation to the operation and maintenance of infrastructures are recorded as costs in the year to which they refer. Contractual obligations to maintain or restore the infrastructure to certain levels of capacity for the provision of the public service (namely major repairs) are recorded in accordance with IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, that is, every year a liability is constituted in accordance with the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle this obligation through the recording of a separate cost in the income statement.
  • d) Costs related to loans received which are attributable to the agreement (concession contract) are capitalised during its construction stage, in conformity with IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs.
  • e) Where the agreements, on the one hand, establish, apart from the initial construction services, the provision of upgrade services (improvements to the construction) in consideration of the license received, and, on the other hand, whose future economic benefits cannot be directly related to the actual improvement services, a single intangible asset is recognised for both construction services (initial and upgrade). In this case, since there is an unconditional obligation to provide upgrade construction services for the infrastructure, the entirety of this intangible asset is recognised at the time of the initial construction, pursuant to IAS 11 and IAS 18, including the fair value of the upgrade construction services to be provided in the future.
  • f) All the costs related to the agreement and which cannot be disassociated from it should be added to the intangible asset ("Concession Operating Licenses") at their fair value.

Research expenses are recognised as costs for the year when they are incurred, while expenses related to incorporation and share capital increases are deducted from equity.

iii) Premises

Immovables (land and buildings) for the company's own use are recorded at a revalued amount, which is their fair value as at the revaluation date minus any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses. The revaluations are carried out periodically by independent real estate valuators, so that the revalued

amount does not differ materially from the fair value of the respective property. When the fair value calculated in the valuations is slightly higher than the book value in the statement of the financial position, the Group, for reasons of prudence, does not update the assets subject to the valuation to their fair value. Due to the operation of the respective markets, the Group has decided not to apply this policy to real estate assets held in African countries, and in some countries of Central Europe, recording them at their acquisition cost minus any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses.

Adjustments arising from revaluations of real estate assets for own use are recorded against equity. When a tangible asset which had been revalued positively in former fiscal years is subsequently revalued negatively, the adjustment is recorded against equity up to the amount corresponding to the increased equity arising from previous revaluation, minus the amount realised through depreciation, with its excess being recorded as a cost for the year through profit or loss for the year.

Depreciation is imputed on a systematic basis during the estimated useful life of the buildings, which currently varies between 20 and 50 years, while land is not depreciable.

iii) Land assigned to quarry operations

Land assigned to the operation of quarries, as well as various related costs (expenses incurred with the licensing and start-up of the quarries and costs to be incurred with restoration of landscape), are recorded at a revalued amount, which is its fair value on the revaluation date minus any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses. When the fair value calculated in the valuation is slightly higher than its book value in the statement of the financial position, the Group, for reasons of prudence, does not update the assets subject to the valuation to their fair value. The valuations are undertaken periodically, by specialised external experts, so that the revalued amount does not differ materially from the fair value of the respective quarry. These assets are depreciated in accordance with the quantity of stone extracted each year, taking into account the residual value of the quarry at the end of the extraction.

Adjustments arising from the revaluation of the land assigned to quarry operations are recorded against equity. When a quarry asset which had been revalued positively in former fiscal years is subsequently revalued negatively, the adjustment is recorded against equity up to the amount corresponding to the increased equity arising from previous revaluation, minus the amount realised through depreciation, with its excess being recorded as a cost for the year through profit or loss for the year

v) Other tangible assets

Other tangible assets acquired up to 31 December 2003 are recorded at their deemed cost, which corresponds to their acquisition cost or to the acquisition cost revalued in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Portugal up to that date, minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Other tangible assets acquired after this date are recorded at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Tangible assets in progress represent assets still under construction/development, and are recorded at acquisition cost, minus any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated after the assets are in condition to be used, that is, when their underlying assets are available for use and in the necessary conditions, in terms of quality and technical reliability, to operate as intended by the Group's Board of Directors, and is imputed systematically during their useful life. The useful life of an asset is determined based on its expected use by the Group, expected natural wear, predictable technical obsolescence and the residual value attributable to the asset. The residual value attributable to the asset is estimated based on the residual value prevailing on the date of the estimate of similar assets which have reached the end of their useful lives and operated under conditions similar to those in which the asset will be used.

The depreciation rates used correspond to the following periods of estimated useful life (in years):

Equipment:
Basic equipment (excluding that assigned to concessions) 3 to 10
Administrative equipment 4 to 10
Transport equipment 3 to 10
Tools and utensils 3 to 6
Other tangible assets 3 to 10

Subsequent expenses related to replacement of tangible asset components incurred by the Group are added to the respective tangible assets, with the net value of the replaced components of these assets being written off and recorded as a cost under the heading "Other operating costs".

Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the useful life nor give rise to significant improvements in the items of the tangible assets are recorded as a cost for the year when they occur.

Depreciation and amortisation of the tangible and intangible assets are recorded on a monthly basis under the heading "Amortisation", in the income statement. Any changes to the period of estimated useful life of the tangible assets are carried out prospectively.

vi) Leases

Lease contracts are classified as (i) finance leases when they substantially transfer all the risks and advantages inherent to possession of the leased asset; and as (ii) operating leases when they substantially transfer all the risks and advantages inherent to possession of the leased asset.

The classification of leasing into finance or operating is undertaken based on the substance and not the form of the contract.

Tangible assets acquired under finance lease contracts, as well as the corresponding liabilities, are recorded through the financial method, recognising the tangible assets and their corresponding accumulated depreciation, as defined in subparagraphs iii) and v) above, and any outstanding debts pending settlement are stated in accordance with the contractual financial plan. Furthermore, the interest included in the value of lease payments and depreciation of the tangible assets are recognised as costs in the income statement for the year they refer.

In leases considered as operating, the lease payments owed are recognised as a cost in the income statement on a linear basis during the contract lease period.

vii) Investment properties

Investment properties consist of land and buildings held for the purpose of obtaining rents and/or the appreciation of the invested capital and not for use in the production or supply of products or services, or for administrative purposes, or for sale during daily business activity.

Investment properties, including those under construction, are recorded at their fair value, determined by the annual valuation carried out by independent specialised entities or in accordance with current prices that are realisable on the market in question.

Variations in the fair value of investment properties are recognised directly in the income statement for the year, under the heading "Variation of value in investment properties".

Costs incurred with investment properties in use, namely maintenance, repairs, insurance and property taxes (Municipal Property Tax), are recognised in the consolidated income statement for the year to which they refer.

viii) Held-for-sale non-current assets

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale when their book value can only be recovered through its sale and not through their continued use. In order for these assets to be classified as such, they must be available for immediate sale under their current conditions, the sale much be highly probable, the Board of Directors must be committed to execute this sale and the disposal must predictably occur within a period of 12 months, as established in IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lowest amount between their book value and their fair value minus the expected costs of their sale.

ix) Financial assets & liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the statement of the financial position when the Group becomes a contracting party of the respective financial instrument.

a) Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial investments into the following categories: "Investments recorded at fair value through profit or loss", "Loans and accounts receivable", "Investments held to maturity", "Investments available for sale" and "Loans and accounts payable". The classification depends on the intention underlying the acquisition of the investment.

The classification is defined at the time of the initial recognition and reappraised on a half-yearly basis.

  • Investments recorded at fair value through profit or loss: this category is divided into two subcategories, "Financial assets held for trading" and "Investments recorded at fair value through profit or loss". A financial asset is classified into this category, particularly, when acquired for the purpose of its sale in the short term or if the adoption of valuation through this method eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting lag. Derivative instruments are also classified as held for trading, unless they are assigned to hedging operations. Assets of this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or if expected to be realised within 12 months of the reporting date.

  • Loans and accounts receivable: are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or variable repayment, which are not listed in active/liquid markets. These financial investments arise when the Group provides cash, products or services directly to a debtor with no intention to negotiate the debt. "Loans and accounts receivable" are classified as current assets, except in cases where their maturity is longer than 12 months after the reporting date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets. In both cases, this category appears in the statement of the financial position, included under the headings "Customers" and "Other debtors".

  • Investments available for sale: include non-derivative financial assets, which are named as available for sale, or those that do not fall under the previous categories. This category is included under non-current assets unless the Board of Directors intends to sell the investment within 12 months as of the reporting date.

Investments held to maturity are classified as non-current investments, unless they fall due within 12 months as of the reporting date.

All purchases and sales of these investments are recognised on the date of the signing of the respective purchase and sale contracts, regardless of the financial settlement date.

These investments are initially recorded at their acquisition value, which is the value paid on the acquisition date and corresponds to their fair value on that date, including transaction costs.

After initial recognition, investments recorded at fair value through profit or loss and investments available for sale are revalued at their fair values as marked to market as at the reporting date, with no deduction relative to any

transaction costs which might occur up to their sale.

Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of investments available for sale are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, under the heading "Fair value reserves – investments available for sale" until the investment is sold, received or disposed in any form, or in situations where the fair value of the investment is lower than its acquisition cost and this situation is considered a significant or permanent impairment loss, at which time the accumulated gain or loss is recorded separately in the income statement.

Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of the investments held for trading are recorded in the income statement for the year.

Gains and losses, realised or not, arising from a change in the fair value of "Investments recorded at fair value through profit or loss", are recorded in the income statement for the year.

The fair value of investments is based on current market prices. If the market to which the investments belong is not an active/liquid market (unlisted investments), the Group records them at acquisition cost minus any accumulated impairment losses. The fair value of listed investments is calculated based on the closing price of the respective market as at the reporting date.

The Group performs valuations as at each reporting date whenever there is objective evidence that a financial asset might be impaired. In the case of equity instruments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline of their fair value to levels below their cost indicates that the asset is impaired. For all other assets, objective indications of impairment may include:

  • significant financial difficulties by the counterparty in settling its debts;
  • failure to meet payments in due time by the counterparty relative to credit extended by the Group;
  • high probability that the counterparty might enter into bankruptcy or debt restructuring proceedings.

For financial assets recognised at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between their book value and the present value of future cash flow discounted at the initial effective interest rate.

The book value of financial assets is reduced directly by any detected impairment losses, with exception of the accounts receivable from customers and other debtors for which the Group constitutes a specific account of "Accumulated impairment losses". When an account receivable from customers and other debtors is considered uncollectible, it is annulled against the "Accumulated impairment losses" account. Amounts received subsequently relative to annulled accounts receivable from customers and other debtors of the financial statements are credited to the income statement for the year. Changes to "Accumulated impairment losses" are recorded in the income statement for the year.

With the exception of the "Investments available for sale", if, in a subsequent fiscal year, there is a reduction of the accumulated impairment losses and if this decrease is objectively due to an event after the date of recognition of this impairment, the said decrease is recorded through the income statement for the year up to the limit of the existing accumulated impairment loss.

Investments held to maturity are recorded at amortised cost through the effective interest rate method, net of amortisation of principal and interest received.

All financial investments available for sale representing shares in unlisted companies are recorded at their acquisition cost, always considering any impairment losses in the event of objective evidence of impairment. The Group's Board of Directors believes that the fair value of these investments does not differ significantly from their acquisition cost.

Dividends received relative to equity instruments classified as "Investments available for sale" are recognised in the income statement in the year when the right to receive them was established.

b) Customers and other debtors

Debts of "Customers" and "Other debtors" are recorded at their nominal value, minus any accumulated impairment losses, so that they reflect their net realisable value.

c) Loans

Loans are recorded in the liabilities at amortised cost. Any costs incurred with the issue of these loans are recorded as a deduction to the debt and recognised, over the lifetime of these loans, in accordance with the effective interest rate method.

d) Accounts payable

Accounts payable, included under the headings "Suppliers" and "Sundry creditors" which do not earn interest, are recorded at their nominal value, which is substantially equivalent to their fair value, since the effect of any discount is considered immaterial.

e) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified in accordance with the contractual substance of the transaction. The Group defines equity instruments as those where the underlying contract of the transaction shows that the Group holds a residual interest in a set of assets after deduction of a series of liabilities.

f) Derivative instruments

The Group uses derivative instruments in the management of its financial risks solely to ensure the hedging of these risks, and never uses derivative instruments for purposes of speculation. The use of derivative financial instruments is duly approved by the Group's Board of Directors.

The derivative financial instruments used by the Group defined as cash flow hedge instruments refer exclusively to interest rate and exchange rate hedge instruments relative to loans received. The amount of the loans, maturity periods of the interest and repayment plans of the loans underlying the interest rate and de exchange rate hedge instruments are similar to the conditions established for the contracted loans.

The following criteria are used by the Group to classify derivative instruments as cash flow hedge instruments:

  • The hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk;
  • The effectiveness of the hedge can be measured reliably;
  • There is sufficient documentation on the transaction to be hedged at the beginning of the hedge operation;
  • The transaction covered by the hedge is highly likely.

Interest rate and exchange rate hedge instruments are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently revalued at fair value. Alterations to the fair value of these instruments, associated to the part that is effectively hedged, are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the heading "Fair value reserves – derivatives", and are transferred to net income for the year in the same period when the hedged instrument affects net income. In 2012, the Group decided on the early adoption of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, which replaces the existing guidelines in the different IFRS standards in relation to the measurement of fair value. Hence, the valuation of derivative financial instruments began to incorporate an estimate of the credit risk of the company holding the instrument in the measurement of the fair value of its interest rate hedge derivatives.

The reporting of derivative instruments ceases when the instrument falls due or is sold. In situations where the derivative financial instrument no longer qualifies as a hedge instrument, the accumulated fair value differences deferred in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the heading "Fair value reserves – derivatives" are transferred to net income for the fiscal year or added to the value of the asset which resulted from

the hedged transactions, and subsequent revaluations are recorded directly under the headings of the income statement.

Regarding derivative instruments which, although contracted for economic hedging purposes, do not meet all the requirements of IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement) with respect to the possibility of qualifying for hedge accounting, the respective changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement for the period when they occur.

g) Treasury shares

Treasury shares are stated at their acquisition value as a deduction from equity. Gains or losses inherent to the disposal of treasury shares are recorded under the heading "Other reserves".

h) Discounted bills and accounts receivable assigned under factoring

The Group derecognises financial assets from its financial statements solely when the contractual right to the cash flow inherent to thee assets expire or when the Group substantially transfers all the risks and benefits inherent to the possession of these assets to a third party.

Consequently, customer balances secured by discounted bills that have not yet fallen due and accounts receivable assigned in factoring as at each reporting date, with the exception of factoring operations without recourse, are recognised in the Group's financial statements against the heading "Sundry creditors" until they are received.

x) Cash & cash equivalents

a) Cash and cash equivalents – demand deposits

The amounts included under the heading "Cash and cash equivalents – demand deposits" correspond to cash, bank deposits at sight and with agreed maturity dates and other cash investments falling due within less than three months, that are repayable on demand and have an insignificant risk of change of value.

b) Cash and cash equivalents - term deposits

The amounts included under the heading "Cash and cash equivalents – term deposits" correspond to cash, bank sight and term deposits and other cash investments that are not immediately available, due to having been given as guarantees or being blocked.

xi) Inventories

Merchandise and raw materials and consumables are valued at the lowest value between the average acquisition cost and the respective market value (estimate of their sales price minus the costs to be incurred with their disposal). Finished and semi-finished products, by-products, and products and work in progress are valued at production cost, which is lower than their market value. Production costs include the cost of the incorporate raw material, direct labour and general factory costs.

xii) Accrual accounting

Income and expenditure are recorded in accordance with the accrual accounting principle, whereby they are recognised as and when they are generated, regardless of the time when they are received or paid. The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses are recorded under the headings "Other current assets", "Other current liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities".

xiii) Revenue

Revenue is recorded at the fair value of the assets received or receivable, net of discounts and expected returned

products.

a) Production and provision of services that have not been invoiced

The Group recognises the net income of the works of each contract in accordance with the percentage completion method, which is defined as the ratio between the costs incurred in each work up to a given date and the sum of these costs with the costs estimated to complete the work. The differences obtained between the values resulting from the application of the percentage completion to the estimated income and the invoiced values are stated under the subheadings "Production not invoiced" or "Advance billing", included under the headings "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities".

Regarding construction contracts executed by companies/branches located in various African countries, the income is recorded based on measurement reports of the work carried out, with the positive or negative differences in relation to the invoicing that has been made being calculated for each contract and presented under the subheadings "Production not invoiced" or "Advance billing", included under the headings "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities". The impact of the adoption of this policy compared to the policy described in the paragraph above has no materially relevant effect on the consolidated financial statements attached herewith.

Variation in the work relative to the amount of revenue agreed in the contract are recognised through profit or loss for the year when it is likely that the customer will approve the amount of revenue arising from the variation and it may be measured reliably.

Claims for reimbursement of costs not included in the contract price are included in the revenue of the contract when the negotiations reach an advanced stage, indicating that it is likely that the customer will accept the claim and it can be measured reliably.

In order to meet the costs to be incurred during the works' warranty period, the Group recognises a liability on an annual basis to meet this legal obligation, which is calculated taking into account the annual volume of production and the historical records of costs incurred in the past with works during the warranty period.

When it is likely that the total costs foreseen in the construction contract exceed the income defined therein, the expected loss is recognised immediately in the income statement for the period.

b) Civil construction works and public works of short duration

In these service contracts, the Group recognises the income and costs as they are invoiced or incurred, respectively.

c) Recognition of costs and income in real estate business

Relevant costs incurred with real estate undertakings are calculated taking into account the direct construction costs as well as all the costs related to the preparation of projects and licensing of works. Costs imputable to the funding, supervision and inspection of the undertaking are also added to the cost of real estate undertakings, provided that they are still underway.

For the effect of capitalisation of financial costs and costs related to the supervision and inspection of the undertaking, it is considered that it is underway if awaiting decision of the authorities involved or if it is under construction. Should the undertaking not be at either of these stages, it is considered stopped and the capitalisation referred to above is suspended.

Pursuant to IFRIC 15, sales generated by the real estate business are recognised when all the risks associated to the asset are substantially transferred to the buyer (that is, at the time of the signing of the property deed).

d) All other business

Revenue arising from sales and provision of services in general is recognised at the time of its realisation or with reference to the completion stage of the transaction as at the reporting date, provided that all of the following

conditions are met: i) the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably; ii) it is likely that the Group will receive future economic benefits associated to the transaction; iii) the costs incurred or to be incurred with a transaction can be measured reliably; iv) the completion stage of the transaction as at the reporting date can be measured reliably.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method, provided that it is likely that the Group will receive economic benefits and their amount can be measured reliably.

Revenue derived from dividends is recognised when the Group's right to receive the corresponding amount is established.

xiv) Own work capitalised

Own work capitalised basically corresponds construction and improvement work, carried out by the actual companies, as well as major repair of equipment and includes costs related to materials, direct labour and general expenses.

These expenses are capitalised only when the following requirements are met:

  • The assets developed are identifiable;
  • There is strong probability that the assets will generate future economic benefits; and
  • The development costs are measurable in a reliable manner.

xv) Assets, liabilities and transactions in foreign currency

All transactions in foreign currency should be recorded in the functional currency at the time of their initial recognition through the application, to the amount in foreign currency, of the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency as at the transaction date.

At the end of each reporting period: a) monetary items in foreign currency should be converted at the closing rate; b) non-monetary items which are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency should be converted through use of the exchange rate as at the transaction date; and c) non-monetary items which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency should be converted at the exchange rates as at the date when the fair value was determined.

Currency conversion differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or from the conversion of monetary items at rates which are different from those used to convert them in the initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements should be recognised through profit or loss for the period when they occur, unless they arise from a monetary item which is part of a net investment in a foreign operating unit. In this case, these currency conversion differences are initially recognised in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss at the time of the disposal of the net investment.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the net income and financial position of entities belonging to the consolidation perimeter, whose functional currencies are not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are converted into Euro using the following procedures: a) the assets and liabilities of each statement of the financial position presented are converted at the closing rate as at the reporting date; b) the income and costs of each statement of comprehensive income or separate income statement presented are converted at the annual average rates; and c) all the resulting currency conversion differences are recognised under other comprehensive income, affecting the equity heading "Currency conversion reserves". At the time of the disposal of these foreign entities, the accumulated currency conversion differences are recorded in the income statement for the year.

Consolidation differences and adjustments to fair value of the assets and liabilities of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities in foreign currency and are converted into Euro using the exchange rates as at the reporting date.

The financial statements of subsidiaries and branches expressed in foreign currency are converted into Euro.

The exchange rates used to convert the accounts of the Group's foreign companies, joint ventures and associates into Euro were as follows:

xvi) Income tax

Mota-Engil SGPS is covered, since January 2010, by the Special Tax Regime for Groups of Companies (RETGS), therefore, current tax is calculated based on the taxable profit or loss of the companies included in the consolidation and on the special regime referred to above, pursuant to its rules.

The RETGS covers all the subsidiaries whose share capital is at least 90% held, directly or indirectly, and which are resident in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax.

For companies not covered by the special tax regime, current tax is calculated based on the respective taxable profit or loss, pursuant to the tax rules in force at the location of head office of each company.

Deferred taxes are calculated based on the balance sheet liability method and refer to temporary differences between the amounts of the assets and liabilities reported for accounting purposes and their respective amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and valued annually using the tax rates in force, or announced to be in force, as at the date of the reversal of the temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recorded only when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future tax profits for their use. On each reporting date a reappraisal is made of differences underlying the deferred tax assets in order to recognise deferred tax assets not recorded previously because they did not meet the requirements for their recording and/or to reduce the amount of the recorded deferred tax assets according to the current expectation of their future recovery.

The amount of tax to be included, both in current tax and deferred tax, arising from transactions or events recognised under reserves is recorded directly under these same headings, and does not affect the net income for the year.

xvii) Borrowing costs

Financial costs related to loans received are generally recognised as a cost, in accordance with the accrual accounting principle.

Financial costs related to loans received that are directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets, or associated to real estate projects classified under inventories, are capitalised, thus being incorporated in

the cost of the asset. The capitalisation of these costs starts after the beginning of the preparation of the construction or development of the asset and is interrupted after the beginning of its use, the end of production or construction of the asset, or when the project in question is suspended.

xviii) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) arising from a past event, it is likely that in order to resolve this obligation there will be an outflow of funds and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reasonably. The provisions are reviewed on each reporting date and adjusted so as to reflect the best estimate on that date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates. When a provision is calculated in view of the future cash flow required to settle this obligation, it is recorded at the current values of this future cash flow.

Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised by the Group whenever there is a formal and detailed restructuring plan and it has been disclosed to the parties involved.

xix) Pensions

Liabilities related to defined benefit pension plans, attributed to various former employees and current directors of the Group, are calculated in accordance with the projected unit credit method, using the actuarial and financial assumptions that are most suited to the established plan.

xx) Government grants

Grants attributed to fund staff training actions are recognised as income during the period of tempo during which the Group incurs the respective costs, and are presented in the income statement minus these costs.

Grants attributed to fund investments in tangible assets are recorded as deferred income and recognised in the income statement during the estimated period of useful life of these assets.

xxi) Impairment/adjustment of assets other than goodwill

Impairment is assed as at each reporting date and whenever an event or alteration in circumstances is identified which indicates that the amount at which an asset is stated might not be recovered. Whenever the amount at which an asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised, recorded in the income statement under the heading "Other operating costs". The recoverable amount is the highest value between the net sales price and the value in use. The net sales price is the amount which would be obtained with the disposal of the asset in a transaction within the reach of the parties involved, minus any costs directly attributable to the disposal. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flow which would be expected to arise from the continued use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset, individually or, if this is not possible, for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The reversal of impairment losses recognised in previous fiscal years is recorded when the motives which led to its recording no longer exist and, consequently, the asset is no longer impaired. The reversal of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement as net operating income. However, the reversal of an impairment loss is undertaken up to the limit of the amount that would have been recognised (either through its historical cost or through its revalued amount, net of amortisation or depreciation), if the impairment loss had not been recorded in previous years.

Evidence of the existence of impairment in the accounts receivable arises when:

  • the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty;
  • there are significant delays in the payment of interest and other important payments by the counterparty;
  • it is becomes likely that the debtor will enter into liquidation or financial restructuring.

Concerning inventories, any reductions to their net realisable value are calculated based on market values and various inventory rotation indicators.

For goodwill and financial investments, the recoverable amount is essentially determined based on the latest financial projections on these assets.

xxii) Balance-sheet classification

Assets that are realisable and liabilities that are payable more than one year after the reporting date are classified, respectively, as non-current assets and liabilities. Furthermore, due to their nature, deferred tax assets and liabilities and provisions are classified as non-current assets and liabilities (Note 13. Income Tax and Note 28. Provisions, respectively).

xxiii) Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements, but are disclosed in the Notes, unless the possibility of an outflow of funds affecting future economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements, but is disclosed in the Notes whenever it is likely that there will be a future economic benefit.

xxiv) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the reporting date that provide additional information on conditions which existed as at the reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the reporting date that provide information on conditions which occur after the reporting date (non-adjusting events), if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

xxv) Judgements and estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statement, the Group's Board of Directors based its work on its best knowledge and experience of past and/or current events, considering certain assumptions relative to future events.

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011 include:

  • Fair value and useful lives of the tangible assets, in particular land, buildings and quarries;
  • Impairment tests performed on consolidation differences and intangible assets;
  • Recording of provisions and impairment losses for accounts receivable and inventories;
  • Recognition of income and costs for works in progress;
  • Outcome of legal and tax proceedings underway filed against the Group and possible need of provision;
  • Calculation of the fair value of derivative financial instruments.

The estimates were determined based on the best information available as at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. However, situations might occur in subsequent periods which, due to not being predictable at the moment, were not considered in these estimates. Any changes to these estimates which occur after

the date of the consolidated financial statements will be corrected profit or loss in a prospective manner, pursuant to IAS 8.

xxvi) Cash-flow statement

The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with IAS 7, through the direct method. The Group classifies investments falling due in less than three months and for which the risk of alteration of value is insignificant, including blocked sums of term deposits of concessionaire companies assigned to debt service, as well as deposits given in guarantee under contractual clauses, under the heading "Cash and cash equivalents" .

The cash flow statement is classified into operating, financing and investment activities. Operating activities comprise receipts from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to staff and others related to operating activity. The cash flow involved in investment activities include, in particular, acquisitions and disposals of investments in subsidiaries and receipts and payments arising from the purchase and sale of fixed assets. The cash flow related to financing activities include, namely, payments and receipts relative to loans received, finance lease contracts and payment of dividends.

xxvii) Management of capital invested

In the Mota-Engil Group, the management of capital is carried out with the fundamental objective of ensuring the continuity of the Group's operations, seeking to maximise the creation of value for its shareholders, in particular, through the adoption of an efficient structure of employed capital through the optimisation, in the balance sheet, of the ratio between equity and borrowed funds.

Hence, the Group's capital structure consists of the equity attributable to shareholders, debt and the amounts available in cash and cash equivalents.

The equity attributable to the shareholders consists of the share capital of Mota-Engil SGPS, fully underwritten and paid-up, of the value of 204,635,695 euros, represented by 204,635,695 shares (ordinary) with the nominal value of one euro, listed for trading on Euronext Lisbon. It also includes all the capital reserves accumulated by the Group, namely those imposed by law, free reserves, asset revaluation reserves, currency conversion reserves and other reserves derived from the consolidations of the companies of Group. Lastly, the equity also includes net income of previous years that was not distributed to the shareholders.

The maturity structure of the debt is appropriate to the characteristics of the assets that it funds, favouring long term maturities to meet, above all, the permanent investments in the Group.

The origin of the capital requirements imposed externally on the Group may be legal, contractual or related to market access.

The main legal requirement of capital is established by article 35 of the Companies Code, which stipulates that the equity of a company must be greater than half its share capital. At the Mota-Engil Group there are no cases of continued non-compliance with this rule, since, in situations where this compliance might be placed in question, the most suitable measures are adopted immediately for each specific case.

Capital requirements imposed contractually are particularly present in bank financing contracts. Thus, in the more relevant funding operations, covenants are sometimes defined, associated to the ratios between the group's capital structure and its operating profitability. These contractual clauses are defined through negotiations with the funding entities and in the entire history of the Group there is no single incidence of breach of these contracts based on their non-compliance.

As at 31 December 2012 there were financing operations with commitments of maintaining covenants related to levels of financial autonomy and debt ratios, whose conditions were negotiated in accordance with normal market practices.

As at the reporting date none of these commitments have been breached, and the Board of Directors believes that the occurrence of such non-compliance is improbable.

A large part of the business developed by the Mota-Engil Group takes place in close connection with the public sector of the different countries in which it operates. Whether in the construction of public works, or in obtaining of licenses for the construction, operation and maintenance of public infrastructures, the Group faces conditions of access to these markets which are strongly regulated and supervised. Some of the conditions of access to these markets imply the proven capacity and financial robustness of the bidder, without which the bidder is simply excluded. The Mota-Engil Group is particularly concerned in complying with the requirements usually imposed through this route and, indeed, has effectively been capable of turning this aspect into one of its strengths when compared with its main competition, with this being a competitive advantage that it presents before rivals in tenders for major national and international projects.

xxviii) Financial-risk management

The Group's management of the financial risks incurred is presented in point 5 of the management report, included in this Annual Report.

As at 31 December 2012, an assessment was made of the deferred tax assets to be recognised arising from tax losses. For situations where this generated deferred tax assets, they were only recorded when it was considered likely that there would be taxable profits in the future and that they could be used to recover the deductible tax losses or taxable differences. This assessment was based on the business plans of the companies of the Group, which are periodically reviewed and updated, and on the available and identified tax planning opportunities.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the tax losses carried forward reached 71,469,010 euro and 84,021,641 euros, respectively, whose deferred tax assets are not recorded, for motives of prudence.

Mota-Engil SGPS is covered, since January 2010, by the Special Tax Regime for Groups of Companies (RETGS), therefore current tax is calculated based on the taxable profit or loss of the companies included in the consolidation and on the special regime referred to above, pursuant to its rules

The RETGS covers all the subsidiaries whose share capital is at least 90% held, directly or indirectly, and which are resident in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax.

For companies not covered by the special tax regime, current tax is calculated based on the respective taxable profit or loss, pursuant to the tax rules in force at the location of head office of each company.

As of 1 January 2007, the municipalities began to be entitled to deliberate an annual surcharge up to the maximum limit of 1.5% of taxable profit subject to and not exempt from Corporate Income Tax. This provision thus implies that the tax rate used in the calculation of deferred taxes on any tax losses carried forward is now 25%, and 28.5% for all other temporary differences generated in the recognition of the income tax for the year.

The State Budget law for 2012 introduced the following alterations:

The part of taxable profit above 1,500,000 euros subject to and not exempt from Corporate Income Tax calculated for taxable persons resident on Portuguese territory which exercise, as the core business, an activity of commercial, industrial or agricultural nature, and for non-residents with stable establishments on Portuguese territory, is subject to the additional rates presented in the following table:

  • i) Taxable profit between 1,500,000 euros and 10,000,000 euros: additional rate of 3%;
  • ii) Taxable profit above 10,000,000 euros: additional rate of 5%.

The amount of the part of taxable profit in excess of 1,500,000 euros, when above 10,000,000 euros, is divided into two parts: one, equal to 8,500,000 euros, which is subject to the rate of 3%; the other, equal to the taxable profit in excess of 10,000,000 euros, subject to the rate of 5%.

The State Budget law for 2013 introduced the following alterations:

For taxation periods which start after 1 January 2013, the part of taxable profit above 1,500,000 euros subject to and not exempt from Corporate Income Tax calculated for taxable persons resident on Portuguese territory which exercise, as the core business, an activity of commercial, industrial or agricultural nature, and for non-residents with stable establishments on Portuguese territory, is subject to the additional rates presented in the following table:

  • iii) Taxable profit between 1,500,000 euros and 7,500,000 euros: additional rate of 3%;
  • iv) Taxable profit above 7,500,000 euros: additional rate of 5%.

The amount of the part of taxable profit in excess of 1,500,000 euros, when above 7,500,000 euros, is divided into two parts: one, equal to 6,000,000 euros, which is subject to the rate of 3%; the other, equal to the taxable profit in excess of 7,500,000 euros, subject to the rate of 5%.

When the special tax regime for groups of companies is applicable, the rates referred to in number 1 are incident on the taxable profit calculated in the individual periodic tax return of each company group, including that of the dominant company.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the reconciliation between the nominal and effective income tax rates is presented as follows:

Pursuant to the national legislation in force, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), unless tax losses have occurred, tax benefits have been granted or inspections, claims or objections are underway, in which case, depending on the circumstances, these periods are extended or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns for 2009 to 2012 may still be subject to review. The Group's Board of Directors is of the opinion that any corrections, arising from different interpretations of the legislation in force, by the tax authorities, will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements attached herewith.

No provision has been created to cover any risks related to the events/disputes for which there are proceedings underway and/or guarantees have been provided, since the Board of Directors believes that the settlement of the said events/disputes will not give rise to any liabilities for the Group.

As corroborated by our lawyers and tax consultants. There are no material assets or liabilities associated to probable or possible tax contingencies which should be disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2012.

14. Dividends

The Individual Management Report presents the following proposal: the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA proposes to the Annual General Meeting, the following appropriation of the Net Income for the Year, of the value of 31,006,109 euros, which already includes the amounts of 700,000 euros and 300,000 euros allocated to the distribution of profits, respectively, to the Board of Directors, under the terms of number 3 of article 27 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and to the remaining workers:

  • a) For the legal reserve, 5% corresponding to 1,550,305 euros and 45 euro cents;
  • b) For distribution to the shareholders, 11 euro cents per share, subject to tax, of the total value of 22,509,926 euros and 45 euro cents;
  • c) For free reserves, the remainder, of the value of 6,945,877 euros and 10 euro cents.

On 17 May 2012, payment was commenced of the dividend of 0.11 euros per share relative to the fiscal year of 2011, with a total of 22,509,926 euros and 45 euro cents having been paid.

On 28 April 2011, payment was commenced for the dividend of 0.11 euros per share relative to the fiscal year of 2010, with a total of 22,509,926 euros and 45 euro cents having been paid.

15. Earnings per share

The Company has only issued ordinary shares, hence there are no special rights to dividends or voting.

There is no situation in the Group which might lead to a reduction of earnings per share as a result of options, warrants, convertible bonds or other rights associated to ordinary shares.

Therefore, there is no dissimilarity between the calculation of basic earnings per share and the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

No ordinary shares were issued during 2012 and 2011. The average number of ordinary shares during these years was affected by the net changes which occurred in the number of treasury shares, which are presented in detail in Note 24. Share capital and reserves.

For the fiscal years of 2012 and 2011, the calculation of the earnings per share may be demonstrated as follows:

2012 Variation of
perimeter
Consolidated net profit/(loss) attributable to the Group (I) 40,745,635 33,432,054
Total number of ordinary shares (II) 204,635,695 204,635,695
Number of own shares at the year-end (III) 11,101,379 11,101,379
Weighted average number of own shares (IV) 11,101,379 11,036,315
Number of shares outstanding (II - IV) 193,534,316 193,599,380
Earnings per share: - -
basic (I) / (II - IV) 0.2105 0.1727
diluted (I) / (II - IV) 0.2105 0.1727

The acquisitions referred to above during 2011 were recorded through the purchase method and their acquisition was paid for in cash. As a result of these acquisitions, the Group did not dispose of any of the operations developed by the acquired companies.

The Mota-Engil Group performs annual impairment test on goodwill, as defined in subparagraph i) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies. As at 31 December 2012, the methods and assumptions used in the appraisal of the existence, or not, of impairment for the main values of goodwill recorded in the financial statements attached herewith were as follows:

Mota-Engil
Assumptions Central Europe Suma Group Tertir Group
Poland
Method used Value in use Value in use Value in use
Basis used Forecasts Forecasts Business Plans
Period used 5 years 5 years Useful life
Growth rate of cash-flows
Year n+1 -29% 8% n.a.
Year n+3 5% 2% n.a.
Growth rate of cash-flows in perpetuity 3.00% 3.00% n.a.
Discount rate used 10.66% 7.65% 7.40%

During the year ended on 31 December 2010, the Group started to record the acquisition differences in accordance with the alterations introduced by the new IFRS 3.

The value in use corresponds to the estimated present value of future cash flow, calculated based on budgets and business plans duly approved by the Group's Board of Director, which, with the exception of those relative to concession projects, cover, on average, a period of five years. Cash flow projections beyond five years were extrapolated by applying a fixed growth rate in perpetuity, which does not exceed the average rate of future growth of revenue of the sector in which the company operates.

Differences between the acquisition price of the financial investments in Group companies (subsidiaries), increased by the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies as at the date of their acquisition, when positive are recorded under the heading

"Goodwill" and, when negatives, after a revaluation of their measurement, are recorded directly in the income statement.

CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The main assumptions used in the calculation of the value in use included in particular: (i) the subsidiary's market share; (ii) growth prospects of the market in which the subsidiary operates; (iii) regulatory alterations which might influence the subsidiary's business in the future; (iv) the necessary level of investment, etc. These assumptions were quantified based on historical data, as well as on the experience of the Group's Board of Directors. However, these assumptions might be affected by phenomena of political, economic or legal nature which are unpredictable at this moment in time.

Acquisitions of interests in entities which are already controlled and sales of interests in entities, which do not lead to a loss of control, are treated as transactions between shareholders affecting only the equity headings, with there being no impact on the heading "Goodwill" or on net income.

The acquisitions of financial holdings which occurred during 2012, consolidated through the full method, did not have any material impact on the Group's assets, liabilities, costs and income, hence they were not disclosed.

The Mota-Engil Group did not acquire any financial holding of material significance between 31 December 2012 and the date of approval of these financial statements.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the heading "Concession operating licenses" essentially refers to the accounting, in accordance with IFRIC 12, of port concession operating rights (as well as water/sanitation concessions relative to the Indaqua Group during 2011).

As at 31 December 2012, the values recorded under perimeter variations are explained, in particular, by the fact that the Indaqua Subgroup and the company TPE Paita changed their method from full consolidation to integration through the equity method (Note 35).

In 2010, the application of IFRIC 12 introduced various alteration relative to the provisions and interpretations of the standards which were in force, whose impact on the financial statements of the Group's concessionaire companies mainly occurred: (i) in the reclassification to the intangible assets heading of part of the assets under concession where the concessionaire companies of the Mota-Engil Group had and have an operating right of these concessions, and where these companies assume the risk of demand of the operation (intangible model): port concessions and water/sanitation concessions.

The concession operating licenses are being amortises during the respective validity period of the concession.

The appraisal of the existence, or not, of impairment for the main values of the intangible assets is based on the Business Plans of the respective companies, as mentioned in Note 16. Goodwill, relative to impairment tests on

goodwill.

The valuation criteria established by the Group for the measurement of the value of these intangible assets are noted in subparagraph ii) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

As at 31 December 2011 and 2012, the book value of the intangible assets would not undergo significant alterations if carried in accordance with the cost model.

The main port concessions in operation of the Group's subsidiaries, consolidated through the full consolidation method, their main characteristics and duration are presented below:

In July 2010, the Assembly of the Republic revoked the Amendment to the Concession Contract for Alcântara Container Terminal, which provided for the extension of the concession contract until 2042. This revocation was analysed by the Commercial Arbitration Centre which, on 14 October 2011, judged that the application of annulment of the Amendment to the Concession Contract for the Right of Operation under a Public Service Regime of Alcântara Container Terminal, submitted by APL – Administração do Porto de Lisboa, S.A., was unfounded, based on the grounds of the unconstitutionality of Law number 14/2011, of 23 July, which revoked the said Amendment. Furthermore, part of the investments foreseen in the draft extension of the concession contract had not received the favourable opinion of the Ministry of the Environment. In view of the arbitral award issued by the Commercial Arbitration Centre, the Board of Directors believes that the concession period of the terminal expires in 2042, and therefore the Company is amortising the concession license, recorded under the heading "Intangible assets", as well as the costs inherent to the process of preparation of the Amendment referred to above recorded under the heading "Deferred Assets", up to 2042 (Note 23).

As at 31 December 2012, the net change recorded in revaluation under the heading "Land and buildings" is essentially explained by the revaluation of a plot of land and buildings for own use located in Peru.

As at 31 December 2011, the net change recorded in revaluation under the heading "Land and buildings" is mainly explained by the revaluation of the land assigned to the operation of quarries.

As at 31 December 2012, the value recorded in perimeter variation refers, almost entirely, to the Indaqua Subgroup (negative value of approximately 17,000,000 euros), for which, relative to the year ended on 31 December 2012, the Group changed the method from full consolidation to integration through the equity method, and to the company Novicer (positive value of approximately 28,000,000 euros), which, for the year ended on 31 December 2012, was consolidated for the first time through the full consolidation method due to the Group's increased holding in this company.

As at 31 December 2011, the value recorded in perimeter variation refers, almost entirely, to the subsidiaries Eltor and Cecot, which, for the year ended on 31 of December 2011, were consolidated for the first time.

As at 31 December 2012, the value recorded under the heading "Transfers and other movements" essentially refers to the transfer made by the subsidiary Ferrol of a tangible to an intangible asset (approximately 10,000,000 euros) and to the movement recorded by the subsidiary Bergamon, of the transfer of a plot of land to inventories (approximately 4,000,000 euros).

As at 31 December 2011, the value recorded under the heading "Transfers and other movements" essentially refers to the transfer relative to Nsanje Port (Malawi).

As at 31 December 2011, the value recorded under the heading "Write-offs" is explained by the high number of writeoffs made in the subsidiaries of Portugal of the Engineering & Construction area, under the process of the merger of these companies into Mota-Engil Engenharia which took place during 2012.

As at 31 December, the information on the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses in tangible assets for the years ended on 2012 and 2011 is broken down as follows:

The adopted valuation criteria, the depreciation rates used and the residual values defined are referred to in subparagraphs iii), iv) and v) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the amounts, net of depreciation, of 44,503,883 euros and 45.270.213 euros, respectively, assigned to the operation of quarries, are recorded under the heading "Land and buildings". The calculation of the fair value of the quarries takes in consideration various factors, in particular the licensed area, operating capacity, landscape restoration costs and the residual value of the land after closure of the quarry. Supplementary information on the operation of the Group's mineral assets is presented in Note 33. Operation of mineral assets.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the following tangible assets, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, were abroad, in branch offices, and owned by Mota-Engil Engenharia:

Land and buildings are recorded at their revalued cost. The valuation method used by the real estate valuators to measure the fair value the Group's real estate properties was the depreciated replacement cost method, with the valuation having been made in accordance with international valuation standards.

The fair value of the real estate properties does not include any tax or costs that the buyer might incur with the purchase of the property and was calculated, in the case of land, taking into account actual market prices for similar assets and, in the case of buildings, the actual cost of their construction. The location, accesses, size and form of the properties were also considered in the calculation of their fair value.

The book value which would have been recognised if the asset had been recorded pursuant to the cost model is as follows:

Cost Revaluation Total
2012
Land & buildings 212,111,587 35,935,629 248,047,216

Tangible fixed assets in progress 15,180,976 - 15,180,976
Other tangible fixed assets 6,123,214 2,711 6,125,925

During the fiscal year of 2012, the Group did not undertake any valuation of land and buildings, due to considering that during the year there were no significant variations in relation to the previous valuations obtained.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, except for the assets acquired under finance leasing and for the tangible assets assigned to concessions, there are other tangible assets which are pledged or mortgaged to financial institutions in order to secure loans received.

The appraisal of the existence, or not, of impairment for the main values of tangible assets is based on the Business Plans of the respective companies, as mentioned in Note 16. Goodwill relative to impairment tests to goodwill.

The value relative to the Indaqua Group with effect on net income in 2012, includes the amount of approximately 15,400,000 euros relative to the recognition of gains in the revaluation of the investment held in Indaqua, measured at its fair value, following the sale of a minority position and consequent loss of the Group's control in this group of companies.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the financial investment in the Obol Invest Group includes 20,685,258 euros and 19,220,233 euros, respectively, of consolidation differences attributed to identifiable assets (inventories).

During 2012, the Group acquired control over Empresa Construtora Brasil (Brazil) and Martinox (Angola), for the values of 19,461,737 euros and 1,836,600 euros, respectively. The process of imputation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired under these business combinations has not yet been finalised, hence the value of the financial investment and any acquisition differences contained therein were, provisionally, recognised under the heading "Financial investments available for sale". The inclusion of these subsidiaries in the consolidation perimeter as at 31 December 2012 would not have had a materially relevant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The net change under the heading "Securities and other placements" mainly refers to a promissory note of the Malawian Government, which earns interest on a quarterly basis.

During the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, the following movement occurred in the value of financial investments available for sale:

2012 2011
Opening balance 5,448,764 20,678,852
Acquisitions and advances 34,722,055 40,568
Disposals - (1,484,546)
Transfers (1,135,495) (13,786,110)
39,035,324 5,448,764

In view of the nature of most of the financial investments referred to above and the difficulty of ensuring the reliable calculation of their fair value, the Group recorded these investments at their acquisition cost, deducting, if necessary, any respective impairment losses identified (approximately 1,200,000 euros).

21. Investment properties

The information relative to the Group's investment properties as at 31 December 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

2012 2011

Disposals - (29,401)
Transfers (926,284) (28,198,092)
66,184,763 62,947,053

The valuation criteria established by the Group for the measurement of its investment properties are referred to in subparagraph vii) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

The investment properties located in Portugal are recorded at their market value, in accordance with independent valuations based on evidence of recent market transactions of similar properties.

The investment properties located in Portugal are destined for rental.

In 2012 and 2011, the heading "Increases" basically includes the value of Edifício Mercado Urbano. It should be noted that this building had not yet generated rents by the fiscal year of 2012, due to still being under construction.

In 2011, the heading "Transfers" primarily includes the value of the Jeremiasova land/property (Czech Republic) and Kilinskiego land/property, transferred to inventories (products and work in progress, Note 22), since the respective real estate development projects have yet to be started.

During 2011, the real estate properties located in Angola which were rented and, therefore, recorded under the heading "Investment properties", began to be used in the branch's business, the reason for which they were transferred to the heading "Tangible assets".

As at 31 December 2012, the investment properties held by the Group were essentially the following: i) Motadomus commercial condominium (4,746,573 euros); ii) Edifício Báltico (48,278,196 euros); and iii) Edifício Mercado Urbano (5,895,943 euros), all located in Portugal.

The gains achieved by the Group relative to rents of its investment properties reached 3,975,949 euros in 2012 (2,729,641 euros in 2011) (Note 11).

The valuations were made under the following valuation methods: income method (Motadomus commercial condominium and Edifício Báltico), using for such the method of capitalisation of expected future rents. This valuation complied with the international and European standards promoted by the IVSC (International Valuation Standards Committee) and TEGoVA in the "Approved European Property Valuation Standards".

22. Inventories

The information relative to inventories for the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, is broken down as follows:

268,514,341 242,360,589

In 2011, the increase recorded under the heading "Products and work in progress" basically includes the value of the Jeremiasova land/property (Czech Republic) and Kilinskiego land/property, transferred from investment properties to inventories (Note 21).

The movement in the accumulated adjustments to inventories, for the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, is as follows:

2012 2011
Opening balance 11,734,475 7,157,345

Transfers & variation of perimeter 947,550 (2,499,751)
12,640,109 11,734,475

114,346,319 69,458,598 318,835,576 364,422,378

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the value recorded under the heading "Other debtors – Associates and related companies" includes balances receivable from companies consolidated through the equity method, namely the Ascendi Group, Indaqua Group (2012), Obol Invest Group and Legowa Project Development.

Following the sale of a minority position and consequent loss of the Group's control in Indaqua, its consolidation was changed from the full consolidation method to the equity method (Note 35).

The increased which occurred in 2012 under the heading "Other debtors – Associates and related companies" is explained, almost entirely, by the contribution of the Indaqua Group whose consolidation method was changed during the fiscal year of 2012 from full consolidation to the equity method (Note 35), and by the increase recorded in the Ascendi Group, arising from the transfer of the value recorded in 2011 under current other debtors to non-current other debtors.

The exposure of the Group to credit risk is attributable, above all, to the accounts receivable of its operating activity. Accumulated impairment losses were estimated by the Group, in accordance with its experience and based on its appraisal of overall economic and financial circumstances.

The Board of Directors believes that the value at which these assets are recorded in the balance sheet is close to their fair value.

The Group does not charge any interest costs provided that the established payment deadlines are observed. One these deadlines are reached, interest is charged as defined contractually, pursuant to the law in force and applicable to each situation.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the age structure of the commercial balances relative to financial assets that were not impaired was as follows:

Not overdue amounts 255,550,048 33,980,009
Total 1,008,281,245 307,636,837

As at 31 December 2012, the Group's net exposure of accumulated impairment losses to balances aged over one year primarily arises from confirmed debts of public entities (city halls, regional governments, Angolan public bodies, etc.), withheld amounts of guarantees provided to customers and customer balances with debt settlement agreements, where the Group's Board of Directors believes that these accounts receivable are not impaired.

Adjustments to accounts receivable due to impairment losses are recorded when there is objective indication that the Group will not receive the full amounts to which it was entitled pursuant to the original terms of established contracts. The adjustments are calculated considering the age of the accounts receivable, the risk profile of the debtor and the financial conditions of the debtor.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the balances of the heading "State and other public entities" is broken down as follows:

2012 2011

Transfers & perimeter variation (16,127,947) 16,960,074
28,188,255 42,224,495

As at 31 December 2011, the value recorded under "Transfers and perimeter variation" primarily refers to the value reclassified by the Angola Branch from other accrued costs to impairment losses of accounts receivable.

During the year ended on 31 December 2012, an agreement was established with the Regional Government of Madeira foreseeing the settlement of part of the debt in the current period and the remaining part in the non-current period, hence, as such, a portion was included under non-current "Customers and Other debtors".

b) Other current assets

The heading "Other current assets" is broken down as follows:

2012 2011
Accrued income
Production not invoiced 241,077,244 117,227,815

59,401,775 12,702,067
321,342,072 175,695,222

The reduction which occurred under the heading "Interest receivable" is explained by an increase of the same amount under the heading "Customers, current account" through the issue of debit notes for interest on late payment received, stated in previous years in the area of Portugal Engineering & Construction.

The heading "Other accrued income" fundamentally includes costs related to maintenance contracts concluded.

The information on construction contracts in progress is broken down as follows:

Reserves:

Issue premiums

Issue premiums correspond to premiums obtained through the issue or increase of share capital. Pursuant to the Portuguese commercial legislation, the values included under this heading follow the procedures established for the "Legal reserve", that is, the values are not distributable except in the event of liquidation, but may be used to absorb losses, after all other reserves have been depleted, and for incorporation in the share capital.

Legal reserve

The Portuguese commercial legislation establishes that at least 5% of the annual net income must be assigned to increasing the "Legal reserve" until it represents at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable except in the event of liquidation, but may be used to absorb losses, after all other reserves have been depleted, and for incorporation in the share capital.

Fair value reserve – derivatives

The "Fair value reserve – derivatives" reflects the net changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivative financial instruments which are considered effective (Note 26. Derivative financial instruments) and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.

Fair value reserve – investments available for sale

The "Fair value reserve – investments available for sale" reflects the net changes in the fair value of financial instruments held for sale and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.

Currency conversion reserve

Currency conversion reserves reflect net changes in the currency conversion of the financial statements of branch offices stated in a currency other than the euro and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.

Revaluation reserves

Revaluation reserves cannot be distributed to shareholders, unless they have been fully written-down or if the respective revalued assets have been sold.

Under the terms of the Portuguese commercial legislation, the amount of distributable reserves is determined in accordance with the individual financial statements of the Company, presented pursuant to the Accounting Standardisation System (SNC). As at 31 December 2012, there were no reserves which could be distributed.

The criteria used in the classification and valuation of these instruments are described in subparagraph ix) f) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

The calculation of the fair value of the derivatives contracted by the Group was carried out by the respective counterparts, which are considered to be suitable/independent financial entities of recognised merit. The valuation models employed are based on the discounted cash flow method: using Par Rates of Swaps, listed on the interbank market and available on Reuters and Bloomberg pages, for the relevant periods, with calculation of the respective forward rates and discount factors which are used to discount fixed cash flow (fixed leg) and variable cash flow (floating leg). The sum of the two legs is equivalent to the Net Present Value (NPV). In 2012, the Group decided on the early adoption of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, which replaced the existing guidelines in the different IFRS

relative to the measurement of fair value. Hence, the valuation of derivative financial instruments began to incorporate an estimate of the credit risk of the company holding the instrument, in the measurement of the fair value of their interest rate hedge derivatives.

Derivative financial instruments contracted by companies belonging to the Indaqua Group are no longer reported due to the alteration of the consolidation method applicable to the Indaqua Subgroup in 2012 (Note 35).

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the impact on equity of the derivative financial instruments contracted by Group companies is as follows:

2012 2011
Impact of fair value of derivative financial instruments of subsidiaries consolidated by the full consolidation method (996,393) (18,148,470)
Impact of fair value of derivative financial instruments of associated companies consolidated by the equity method (145,678,359) (119,407,559)

During 2012 the subsidiary STM began to be consolidated through the full consolidation method.

With the exception of the provisions created for the sealing and monitoring of landfills, and for the subsidiary TCL (relative to the adoption of IFRIC 12), the date of use cannot be estimated for any of the others and, therefore, these provisions were not financially updated.

37. Notes to the Consolidated Cash-flow Statement

During the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, the amounts paid for the acquisition of financial investments are detailed as follows:

2012 2011
Carbine Tungstene 1,703,872 -
Empresa Construtora do Brasil 19,461,737 -
Martinox 1,836,600 -
Sangobiar Peru 367,922 -
Other 11,625,342 2,151,013
34,995,473 2,151,013

The value under "Other" primarily refers to additional paid-capital provided to the associates Haçor and HL - Sociedade Gestora do Edifício.

During the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, the amounts received in the disposal of financial investments are detailed as follows:

2012 2011
Indaqua (5%) 3,000,000 -
Outros 2,358,975 1,193,229
5,358,975 1,193,229

The net changes in the perimeter are essentially explained by the fact that the Indaqua Subgroup began to be consolidated through the equity method, during the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2012.

38. Non-current assets held for sale

During the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, non-current assets held for sale, by business segment, are as follows:

2012 2011
Portugal Engineering & Construction - 473,279
Portugal Environment & Services 64,983,272 85,867,150
Central Europe 14,414,397 -
79,397,669 86,340,429

As at 31 December 2012, this heading is primarily composed of non-operational plots of land, whose values will be recovered through their sale and not through their continued use. Although the land had already been included under this heading in 2011 for Portugal Environment & Services, during 2012 it has not yet been possible to carry out their sale. However, both parties (buyer and seller) continue willing to conclude this business, which is merely pending various legal and administrative procedures. Furthermore, since the fair value of these plots of land minus the expected costs of the sale is higher than their acquisition, these properties are recorded at cost.

The net change in Portugal Environment & Services is due to the conclusion of the operation for the sale of Geo Vision.

The value of non-current assets held for sale as at 31 December 2012 in the Central Europe business segment primarily refers to the subsidiary Mamaia, which will be sold during 2013.

39. Business segments

The Group uses its internal organisation for management effects based on its reporting of information by operating segments.

Up to 31 December 2011, the Group was organised into two core business areas: Engineering & Construction, which included the activities of construction, public works and property development; Environment & Services, which basically covered solid urban waste collection and treatment companies, water and basic sanitation companies and port operation companies.

In early 2012, and following the implementation of its new organisational model, the Group altered its business matrix, which was thereafter established by geographic areas, changing the logic of business areas that had been followed previously. In this context, as of 1 January 2012, the Group was thus organised into the following core business areas: Portugal, Africa, Latin America and Central Europe.

As with the previous procedure, the values relative to the Company, to MESP and the Group companies of the Tourism are included under the heading "Other, eliminations and intra-group", which also includes the amounts relative to flows and balances between the operating segments.

The statement of consolidated net operating income by operating segment is broken down as follows:

As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the sales and services rendered between business segments are included in the column "Other, eliminations and intra-group" and are immaterial.

Gains/(losses) in associates and joint ventures for 2012 are primarily explained by the effect of the application of the equity method to the financial investment held in Martifer and in the Ascendi Group (Note 12).

During the years ended on 31 December 2012 and 2011, the intra-group sales were made at prices similar to those practised for sales to external customers.

and discouraging the excessive assumption of risks. To this end, wages should be structured, specifically, in
the following manner:
The remuneration of directors who perform executive functions shall include a variable component that is
determined based on a performance evaluation made by the competent corporate bodies. This performance
evaluation shall follow predetermined measureable criteria that consider the real growth of the company and
the wealth effectively created for the shareholders, its long-term sustainability and the risks assumed, as well
as the fulfilment of rules applicable to the company's activity.
(ii) The variable component of the remuneration overall shall be reasonable in relation to the fixed
remuneration component, and maximum limits shall be set for all components.
(iii) A significant portion of the variable remuneration shall be deferred for a period of no less than three
years and its payment shall be dependent upon the continuation of positive Company performance
throughout that period.

parties, that would lessen the risk inherent to the variability of the remuneration set for them by the
Company.
(v) Until the end of their term of office, the executive directors shall keep the Company shares that they
were awarded by virtue of variable remuneration schemes, up to the limit of two times the amount of total
annual remuneration, with exception of those shares which need to be divested to pay the taxes related to
the benefit of those same shares.
(vi) When the variable remuneration includes the allocation of options, the beginning of the period of the
financial year shall be deferred for a period of no less than three years.
(vii) Appropriate legal instruments shall be established so that the set compensation for any form of
dismissal of a director without just cause is not payable if the dismissal or termination by agreement is due
to the inadequate performance of the director.
(viii) The remuneration of non-executive members of the management body shall not include any component
the value of which is dependent on the Company's performance or value.

and criteria for defining the relevant level of significance of these transactions and the remaining terms for
its intervention.

0.3 Overall assessment of the degree of adoption of groups of recommendations interrelated by topic.

Mota-Engil believes that, despite not having complied with all of the CMVM recommendations, as justified in detail in the following paragraphs, the degree of adoption of those recommendations is sufficiently ample and complete.

0.4 Explanation of the discrepancies between the company's governance practices and the CMVM recommendations

II.1.1.2 Companies shall create internal risk control and management systems to safeguard their value and to benefit the transparency of its corporate governance, which allow it to identify and manage risk. These systems should integrate the following components, at least: i) establishment of the Company's strategic objectives in risk assumption; ii) identification of the main risks linked to the actual activity engaged in and the events susceptible of creating risks; iii) analysis and measurement of the impact and probability of occurrence for each potential risk; iv) risk management with a view to aligning the risks effectively incurred with the strategic option of the Company regarding risk assumption; v) mechanisms to control the execution of risk management measures adopted and their efficacy; vi) adoption of internal information and communication mechanisms on the various components of the system and the risk alerts; vii) periodic evaluation of the system implemented and the adoption of the modifications that are deemed necessary.

The current model for risk management and internal control at Mota-Engil does not yet allow for a full response to the requirements outlined in recommendation II.1.1.2., specifically in relation to the analysis and measurement of the impact and the probability of occurrence for each potential risk. Despite this fact, the Board of Directors and the Audit Board recognise the importance that the risk management and internal control systems have on the organisation and they therefore try to encourage the human and technical conditions susceptible of providing an environment of control that is proportionate and suited to the risks of the activity. Within this scope, and with a view to adopting the best practices in this matter, a process of revision of the current internal control and risk management model for the MOTA-ENGIL GROUP is in progress.

II.1.2.2 The non-executive directors shall include an appropriate number of independent directors, taking into account the size of the company and its shareholder structure, which cannot in any case be less than one quarter of the total number of directors.

Of the nine non-executive directors on the Mota-Engil Board of Directors, only three were qualified as independent directors, representing 20% of the total of the management body. Although this recommendation is not being complied with, as Mota-Engil takes into consideration the size of the Company and its shareholder structure, it considers this to be an appropriate number of independent directors.

II.1.3.2 The process of selecting candidates for non-executive directors should be conceived so as to impede the interference of executive directors.

Considering the size of the Company and its shareholder structure, it is not thought necessary to have a formal selection process for non-executive director candidates. The candidates for non-executive director positions are elected by the General Meeting. In the electoral General Meetings that have been held, the names on the lists for the purposes of election to corporate bodies, in particular as they relate to the management body and its non-executive members, have been proposed by the shareholder signatories to the proposal in question, with the executive directors not participating in the selection process.

II.1.5.1 The remuneration of members of the management body shall be structured so as to allow the

alignment of their interests with the long-term interests of the Company.

The recommendation is not complied with in terms of the following subparagraphs. In spite of the noncompliance in these items, Mota-Engil believes that this does not put in question the objective of aligning the interests of the management body's members with those of the Company.

((iii) A significant portion of the variable remuneration shall be deferred for a period of no less than three years and its payment shall be dependent upon the continuation of positive Company performance throughout that period.

Although there is no deferment of payments of the aforesaid variable remunerations, the Remuneration Committee structures the remuneration to members of the management body in such a way as to continue the Company's long-term positive performance.

(iv) The members of the management body shall not sign contracts, whether with the Company or with third parties, that would lessen the risk inherent to the variability of the remuneration set for them by the Company.

No mechanisms have been formally provided for that would impede executive directors from entering into contracts that might put into question the reason for having the variable remuneration. The Remuneration Committee, however, always takes this factor into consideration in the criteria used for setting the variable remuneration.

(viii) The remuneration of non-executive members of the management body shall not include any component the value of which is dependent on the Company's performance or value.

The remuneration of non-executive members of the management body includes variable components. Mota-Engil believes that, besides having the duty to reward the long-term strategy carried out by the entire Board of Directors, including the non-executive directors, this does not pervert their non-executive function.

II.1.5.3 The remuneration policy statement referred to in article 2 of Law no. 28/2009 shall likewise cover the remunerations of the managers as defined by article 248-B(3) of the CVM (Securities Code) and whose remuneration includes an important variable component. The statement shall be detailed and the policy presented should specifically take into consideration the long-term performance of the Company, the fulfilment of the norms applicable to the company's activities and the restraint in risk-taking.

Even though the statement on remuneration policy presented at the General Meeting did not cover managers' remunerations, the said policy regarding managers is amply covered in this report (see point II.29). The Mota-Engil Board of Directors believes that the remuneration policy for its employees, specifically the managers, is a management task that is their exclusive responsibility, as clearly stated in art. 405 of the Companies Code. This article states that it is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to manage the activities of the company, being subject to the shareholders' resolutions only in those cases when the law or the articles of association so specify. Hence, the statement referred to in Art. 2 of Law no. 28/2009, issued by the Remunerations Committee, should not encompass remunerations to managers. In spite of this position, and although the policy regarding managers is amply covered in this report, the 2012 Report and Accounts to be submitted for approval at the 2013 Annual General Shareholders Meeting includes, in its annexes, the Board of Directors' statement regarding remuneration policies applicable to Mota-Engil Group managers.

II.2.5 The Company shall outline its policy of rotating post on the Board of Directors, specifically for the member charged with financial matters and give such information in the annual Corporate Governance report.

No provision is made for a policy of rotating posts for areas of responsibility on the Board of Directors (Executive Committee), specifically for the member charges with financial matters. It is Mota-Engil's position that a rigid and abstract policy for rotation of posts for areas of responsibility does not serve its interests, hence the positions are decided and allocated by the Executive Committee at the beginning of its term according to the capacities, skills, and professional experience of each member, as it is not admissible that all the directors are able to perform all the duties with the same capacity and degree of performance.

II.4.6 The internal auditing services and those that ensure the compliance with the standards applied to the Company (compliance services) should functionally report to the Audit Committee, the General and Supervisory Board or, in the case of Companies that adopt the Latin model, to an independent director or the Board of Auditors, independently of the hierarchical relationship those services maintain with the Company's executive board.

The internal auditing services (Office of Audit and Risk) functionally report to the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee. This committee typically consists of three permanent members (three non-executive directors, one of which is an independent director). Although it does not functionally report to an independent director or the Audit Board, the independence of this office in relation to the executive management body is deemed to be guaranteed.

II.5.1 Save for reasons having to do with the small size of the Company, the Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board shall, depending on the model adopted, create such committees as are deemed necessary for: i) ensuring a competent and independent assessment of the executive directors and for the assessment of its own overall performance, as well as that of the various existing committees; ii)reflecting on the system of governance adopted, verifying its efficacy and proposing to the proper bodies the measures to be executed with a view to their improvement; iii) identifying, in a timely manner, potential candidates with the high qualifications needed to perform the duties of a director.

The committees recommended were not created, since they were not deemed necessary.

II.5.2 The members of the Remuneration Committee or similar body shall be independent in relation to the members of the management body and shall include at least one member with knowledge and experience in matters of remuneration policy.

António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (Chairman and non-executive member of the Board of Directors) and Maria Teresa Queirós Vasconcelos Mota Neves da Costa (non-executive member of the Board of Directors) form the Remuneration Committee, having been elected for these duties by the General Meeting, under a proposal from the majority shareholder Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, SA. Their participation on the Remuneration Committee is limited exclusively to the representation of the shareholder interest, intervening there in that capacity and not as members of the management body. To ensure their independence in the performance of these duties, these members do not take part in any discussion or deliberation in which there is or there may be a conflict of interest, specifically when it comes to the setting of their own remunerations as members of the management body. It is felt that, by virtue of their respective curricula and professional careers (as found in point II.18), the three members of the Remuneration Committee possess knowledge and experience in matters of remuneration policy. Additionally, and when necessary, the Remuneration Committee is aided by specialised resources, internal or external to the Company, to support its decisions in matters of remuneration policy.

III.1.5 The Company shall not contract the external auditor, or any other entities that are in a relationship of participation with the auditor or that are part of the same network, for the provision of any services apart from the auditing. Should there be reasons to contract for such services – reasons that shall be approved by the supervisory body and detailed in the annual Corporate Governance report – they shall not be greater than 30% of the total value of services provided to the Company.

Although various services besides those of auditing were contracted from the external auditor, in an amount greater than 30% of the total value of services provided to the Company, as can be seen in point III.17 of this report, Mota-Engil believes that, in light of the existing mechanisms, its independence is guaranteed.

II.4 Reference to the fact that the annual reports on the activity of the General and Supervisory Board, the Financial Matters Committee, the Audit Committee and the Statutory Board of Auditors include a description of the supervisory activity carried out, with reference to any constraints detected, and published on the company's Internet site, in conjunction with the financial statements. The Company does not have a General and Supervisory Board, a Committee for Financial Affairs, or an Audit Committee.

II.5 Description of the internal control and risk management systems implemented at the Company, specifically related to the process for disclosing financial information, to the manner in which this system functions and to its efficacy

The Mota-Engil Group finds itself subject to a diversified set of risks that can have a negative impact on its business. All these risks are duly identified, assessed and monitored, different structures within the Company being responsible to manage and/or mitigate them, with special importance given to the role of the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee in this domain.. The sensitivity analyses made on the main financial risks, taking into consideration their high probability of occurrence, are described in Note 11 of the 2012 Consolidated Report and Accounts.

The Investment, Audit and Risk Committee, with its mission of supporting the management of the Mota-Engil Group in reinforcing the means and methods of action at the internal control level and the anticipation of business risk, has the Office of Audit and Risk, with a structure of resources specifically allocated to the following functions:

  • Identification and assessment of risks, suggesting the establishment of acceptable levels of risk in light of the defined management objectives;
  • Issuance of opinions regarding changes in the level of risk in the business deals of the Mota-Engil group;
  • Minimisation of operating inefficiencies and losses, thus strengthening Mota-Engil Group's capacity, by identifying potentially damaging events, assessing risks and proposing responses, in this way reducing unforeseen costs or losses;
  • Identification of transverse risks within the Group, auditing the implementation of corporate policies and good practices of the Mota-Engil Group;
  • Issuance of advance opinions regarding risks inherent in the acquisitions or transfers of ownership decided by the Mota-Engil Group;
  • Audit of conformity in the development of processes or activities in all areas and companies that are materially relevant to the Mota-Engil Group.

The risk management process at MOTA-ENGIL is supported by the COSO (Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework) methodology, which encompasses, specifically: the assessment and attribution of degrees of criticalness and priority to risks in light of their impact on business objectives and of their probability of occurrence. In generic terms, the method of functioning for the internal control and risk management system implemented at the Company

is as follows:

  • Scope of process: The main risks to which the Group is subject are monitored, specifically market risks in the business segments, financial risks (of foreign exchange and interest rates) and other business risks (operating, integrity, information and communication systems) through internal reports from the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee, together with reports or communications issued by the corporate officers (highlighting the Legal Office, the Department of Planning and Corporate Management Control, the Department of Corporate Finance and the Division of Corporate Human Resources).
  • Description of the Operating Process: Risk Management is the responsibility of each one of the Management bodies of the Group´s business areas, executed in general terms through the following set of sequential cyclical phases:
  • Identification of risk: determination of risks that the organisation is exposed to and the level of tolerance of exposure to those risks;
  • Measurement of risk: quantification of the exposures to risk and preparation of reports on which to base the decision-making process;
  • Risk control and management: definition of actions to be taken to deal with risk;
  • Implementation of defined risk management measures;
  • Monitoring: evaluation of the risk management process and, if necessary, realignment and redefinition of strategies.

Additionally, all investments or new businesses will be analysed regarding risk by the various corporate areas, and will be the subject of a preliminary opinion from the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee before being submitted for approval by the Board of Directors.

The evaluation of the internal control and risk management system made it possible to gauge its efficacy without neglecting to point out steps for improvements to be implemented in the short and medium term.

In regard to risk control in the process of disclosing financial information, only a very limited number of Mota-Engil employees are involved in the process of disclosure of financial information. To this end, and by legal obligation (article 248(6) of the CVM-Securities Code), Mota-Engil drew up a list of its collaborators, with or without employment ties, who have access either regularly or occasionally to privileged information. This list was shown to each employee involved, with an explanation of: (i) the motives that led to their names being included on said list; (ii) the rights and obligations set forth in the law; (iii) the consequences resulting from the abusive disclosure or use of privileged information.

II.6 Responsibility of the management body and the supervisory body in the creation and functioning of the internal control and risk management systems of the Company, as well as the evaluation of the functioning of these systems and the adjustment in them in accordance with the Company's needs

The Board of Directors and the Statutory Audit Board recognise the importance that the risk management and internal control systems have on the organisation, encouraging the human and technical conditions susceptible of providing an environment of control that is proportionate and suited to the risks of the activity.

The Board of Directors is responsible for guaranteeing the creation and functioning of the internal control and risk management systems, the Statutory Audit Board having the responsibility to evaluate the functioning of these systems and propose any adjustment in them in accordance with the Company's needs. On this point, it is also worth

mentioning that, as stipulated in Art. 420(1)(i) of the Companies Code, it is the Statutory Audit Board's task to verify the efficacy of the risk management system, internal control system and the internal audit system.

The supervisory body monitors all matters relevant to the Company, attending all Board of Directors' meetings. The management body as well as the supervisory body have access to the reports and opinions issued by the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee, mentioned in the previous point, making an assessment of the functioning of the implemented internal control and risk management systems and their adjustment to the needs of the Company.

II.7 Indication as to the existence of working regulations for the company's bodies, or other rules relating to incompatibility defined internally and to the maximum number of offices that can be accumulated, and the place where they may be consulted.

Rules related to the incompatibilities and the maximum number of accumulated offices has not been established internally, beyond the rules of conflict of interest and incompatibilities set forth in the Companies Code.

II.8 Should the chairman of the management body perform executive functions, indication of the mechanisms of coordinating the work of non-executive members who ensure the independent and informed nature of his decisions

The chairman of the Board of Directors does not perform executive functions.

II.9 Identification of the main economic, financial and legal risks that the Company is exposed to in the performance of its activities

The mapping of the materially relevant risks of the Mota-Engil Group made it possible to determine that the main risks that the Company is exposed to are: its dependence on customers, the behaviour of its competition, liquidity, level of indebtedness, interest rate, as well as the diversity of the legal and tax frameworks that the Company is exposed to, as a consequence of the various geographical locations where it is operating.

II.10 Powers of the management body, specifically as related to resolutions for the increase of capital

The powers of the management body are those granted by the Companies Code and those found in Art. 13 and 14 of the Company's articles of association. The articles of association do not confer powers to the management body regarding resolutions for the increase of capital.

II.11 Information regarding the policy of rotating posts on the Board of Directors, specifically that which is responsible for financial affairs, as well as on the rules applicable to the appointment and substitution of members in the management and supervisory bodies

The rules applicable to the appointment and substitution of the members of the management and supervision are those provided for in the Companies Code and in the Company's articles of association:

The articles of association do not provide for any specific regime related to the substitution of members of the Board of Directors, so that this is carried out as set forth in Art. 393(3) of the Companies Code. No provision is made for a policy of rotating posts for areas of responsibility on the Board of Directors (Executive Committee), specifically for the member charges with financial matters. It is Mota-Engil's position that a rigid and abstract policy for rotation of posts for areas of responsibility does not serve its interests, hence the positions are decided and allocated by the Executive Committee at the beginning of its term according to the capacities, skills, and professional experience of each member, as it is not admissible that all the directors are able to perform all the duties with the same capacity and degree of performance.

(1) 31 December 2012

(2) Executive: member of the Executive Committee; non-executive: non-member of the Executive Committee.

(3) In January of 2013, Jorge Paulo Sacadura de Almeida Coelho resigned his duties as deputy-chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Executive Committee. Following that resignation, the Board of Directors resolved the following: simultaneously electing José Pedro Matos Marques Sampaio de Freitas for the current term of office (2010-2013), as well as nominating him as member of the Executive Committee in the capacity of CFO (Chief Financial Officer); and appoint Gonçalo Nuno Gomes de Andrade Moura Martins as chairman of the executive committee.

(4) In January of 2013, Maria Paula Queirós Vasconcelos Mota de Meireles presented her resignation as non-executive member on the Board of Directors. Afterward, in March 2013, Maria Paula Queirós Vasconcelos Mota de Meireles was co-opted to the position she had resigned.

The three non-executive independent directors listed above are not affected by any incompatibilities mentioned in article 414-A(1) of the Companies Code.

On 31 December, 2012, the Board of Directors consisted of 15 members, six of which were executive and nine were non-executive, a make-up that Mota-Engil considers as a guarantee of an effective capacity in supervising, inspecting and assessing the activity of the members of the Executive Committee.

Of the nine non-executive directors, only three are qualified as independent directors, representing 20% of the total of the management body. Although the recommendation set forth in the Corporate Governance Code is not being complied with in terms of the minimum number of independent directors, Mota-Engil, taking into consideration the size of the Company and its shareholder structure, considers this to be an appropriate number of independent directors.

The independent directors participate in the majority of the Board of Directors' meetings, following in this way Mota-Engil's activities, being able to formulate questions to any other company bodies or internal structures of Mota-Engil Group.

The Investment, Audit and Risk Committee consists of three directors, one of which is a non-executive independent director.

II.15 Indication of the legal rules, regulations and other criteria that have been the basis for the evaluation made by the management body in regard to the members' independence

For the evaluation of the independence of members on the Board of Directors, the referential provided for in article 414(5) of the Companies Code was used solely and exclusively, with the rules applicable to terms of incompatibilities provided for in article 414-A(1) of the same Code also being taken into consideration, with the necessary adaptations. No other evaluation criteria are defined internally.

II.16 Indication of the rules of the process of selecting candidates for non-executive directors and the manner in which they ensure the non-interference of executive directors in this process.

Considering the size of the Company and its shareholder structure, it is not thought necessary to have a formal selection process for non-executive director candidates. The candidates for non-executive director positions are elected by the General Meeting. In the electoral General Meetings that have been held, the names on the lists for the purposes of election to corporate bodies, in particular as they relate to the management body and its non-executive members, have been proposed by the shareholder signatories to the proposal in question, with the executive directors not participating in the selection process.

II.17 Reference to the fact that the annual management report of the Company shall include a description of the activity of the non-executive directors and any constraints detected

Mota-Engil Group's 2012 consolidated management report includes, in point 7, a description of the activity of the non-executive administrators and any constraints detected.

II.18 and II.19 Professional qualifications of the members of the Board of Directors, information regarding their professional activities carried out during the last five years at least, the number of Company shares owned, date of first appointment and their term of office. Functions that the members of the management body perform at other Companies, specifying separately those that are performed at other Companies in the same group.

Any constraints faced by the Statutory Audit Board in the scope of its activity during the year are point out in its report.

II.24 Reference to the fact that the Statutory Audit Board annually evaluates the external auditor and the possibility of proposing to the General Meeting the dismissal of the auditor with just cause

The Statutory Audit Board evaluates the external auditor annually, having the responsibility of supervising his qualifications and independence. In spite of it not being a specific or exclusive competence of the General Meeting, nothing prevents it from being called on in situations of interpellation by the Statutory Audit Board, to decide on the dismissal of the external auditor when there is just cause for such action. At any rate, and to the present date, the Mota-Engil Statutory Audit Board has not found any reasons to consider taking action to dismiss with just cause any entity that has performed the duties of external auditor for the Company

The remuneration policy at MOTA-ENGIL is described in the statement on this matter submitted by the Remuneration Committee to the General Meeting for review, as established in Art. 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June.

Even if the above-mentioned statement had not explicitly covered the remunerations for managers, as described in article 248-B(3) of the CVM (Securities Code), the compensation policy of the GROUP is segmented into functional groups, including the managers, as well as the entire universe of employees of MOTA-ENGIL. The functional groups defined in the scope of compensation policy of the GROUP, aggregate the functions according to parameters such as level of knowledge, complexity or responsibility/autonomy required, which are gauged through the international Hay methodology, being structured in the following manner:

  • Top Executives
  • Executives
  • Top Management
  • Management
  • Technicians
  • Administrative and Operational

The functional groups listed constitute the fundamental support for the definition of human resource policies, specifically compensation policy that establishes, for each functional group, the compensation components and conditions whether they be fixed, variable and/or in benefits.

II.30 Description of the remuneration policy for management and supervisory bodies referred to in Art. 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June

As stipulated in Law no. 28/2009 of 19 June, a statement regarding the remuneration policy of members of the management and supervisory bodies is submitted annually to the General Meeting for review. The current remuneration policy at MOTA-ENGIL, as approved at the last General Meeting, seeks to promote, in the medium and long term, the alignment of the interests of administrators and other company bodies and managers with the interests of the Company, and is established primarily on a fixed base, with a variable component (when applicable) in light of the results from activity performed and the Company's economic and financial situation.

The general principles to observe in the establishment of the remunerations are, essentially, as follows:

a) Duties performed

The functions performed by each of the elements are to be taken into account, in a broader sense of the activity effectively performed and the associated responsibilities and not just in a formal sense. Not all the directors among themselves, nor the executive directors among themselves, nor the Statutory Audit Board members will be in the same position. The reflexion on functions should be made in the broadest sense, being necessary to take into consideration criteria as diverse as responsibility, for example, or the length of service or value added to the Company resulting from a certain type of activity or institutional representation. Likewise, functions performed at other subsidiaries cannot be left out of this reflexion since those duties represent both an increase in responsibility as well as a cumulative source of income.

In alignment with the principle expressed, the MOTA-ENGIL GROUP has a defined compensation policy that covers, by segments, all managers and employees and scores their functions, based on the Hay international model.

According to the methodology in effect, the functions are evaluated based on the knowledge, complexity and responsibility/autonomy required and later framed into predefined functional groups, with this being the vector for determining the conditions in the matter of compensation.

b) The Company's economic situation

The Company's economic situation must be considered, as well as its interests in a long-term and real-growth perspective for the Company and the creation of value for its shareholders.

In this scope, the MOTA-ENGIL GROUP developed a five-year strategic plan in 2008 – "Ambition Plan 2013" (updated in 2012 through "Ambition 2.0"), execution of which is the target of periodic evaluation through a set of KPI (Key-Performance Indicators) integrated in the "Balanced Scorecard" methodology, orienting the performance around four value perspectives: the Group's Financial sustainability and the creation of value for the shareholders; the satisfaction of customer needs; efficiency and innovation in terms of internal processes; and the development and enabling of human capital.

With "Ambition 2.0" as the guiding strategic instrument for the GROUP, the KPIs constitute one of the key-components

for the evaluation of managers at MOTA-ENGIL and for the determination of their compensations in matters of reward, directing the incentive mechanisms to the effective creation of value in the long-term.

c) General market conditions for equivalent situations

The definition of any remuneration cannot escape the law of supply and demand, the case of officers of the corporate bodies being no exception.. Only the respect for market practices allows the Company to retain professionals with a level of performance suited to the complexity of their functions and responsibilities. It is important that the remuneration be in line with the market and be stimulating, serving as a means to achieve a high level of individual and collective performances, ensuring not only their own interests but essentially those of the Company and the creation of value for all the shareholders.

With the principle mentioned above being taken into consideration, it is within the scope of MOTA-ENGIL GROUP's compensation policy to periodically audit its compensation practices and compare them to the market. To that end, the international Hay methodology for scoring functions is adopted, as well as the Hay salary studies directed at comparative functional groups, thus guaranteeing adjustment rationale that is competitive in regard to the strategy for the development of human capital and the evolution of the salary market.

The concrete options submitted and approved for the remuneration policy were as follows:

  1. The remuneration of executive members, as well as non-independent non-executives, of the Board of Directors shall consist of a fixed part and a variable part.

The compensation policy establishes two fundamental aspects in the compensation of the universe of managing members and employees in the GROUP: on the one hand, the compensation equity/competitiveness, safeguarded through the internal analysis and external comparison of the proportion of fixed compensation in relation to the function performed by the officers (using the Hay methodology as support); on the other hand, the meritocracy, complementing the fixed compensation with a variable compensation, is dependent on the performance evaluation.

    1. The remuneration for independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors, members of the Statutory Audit Board and members of the Board of the General Meeting shall one consist of a fixed part.
    1. The fixed part of the remunerations for members of the Board of Directors with executive functions, as well as non-independent non-executive members, shall consist of a monthly amount payable 14 times per year.
    1. The setting of the monthly amount for the fixed part of the remunerations for members of the Board of Directors shall be made for all those who are members of the Executive Committee and for those who, even though they do not belong to that committee, are not considered independent.
    1. The setting of the predetermined amount for each meeting attended by members of the Board of Directors shall be made for those who are considered independent and have essentially non-executive functions.
    1. The fixed wages for members of the Statutory Audit Board and the Board of the General Meeting shall all consist of a fixed amount, payable 12 times per year.
    1. The process of allocating variable remunerations to executive members of the Board of Directors shall follow the criteria proposed by the Committee for Setting Remunerations, considering the performance evaluation made, their hierarchical position, the Company's long-term performance criteria and its real growth, and the performance variables chosen.

Under the terms of the compensation policy defined for the GROUP, the variable compensation is dependent on the performance evaluation, the general principles for which and the corresponding method of application are provided for in the Corporate Model of Performance Management.

The performance evaluation in the GROUP encompasses two components: the quantitative evaluation, measured through the fulfilment of the KPI indexed to the Ambition 2.0 strategic plan, and which are outlined in annual goals at the beginning of each evaluation cycle; and the qualitative evaluation that results from an individual evaluation focusing on key-competencies for the GROUP (corporate, managerial and personal).

Determining the variable compensation in the MOTA-ENGIL GROUP presupposes the observance of two cumulative conditions: the achievement of milestones, defined in the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle, laid out from the long-range strategic plan; the average achievement of at least 95% of the quantitative goals covered in the individual qualitative evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages.

Additionally, there are preventative mechanisms in place for inhibiting the variable compensation payment, in order to minimize the incentive for results out of line with a perspective for creating sustainable value, in the long-term.

As such, no variable compensation will be paid should any of the following conditions occur:

  • One of the milestones (which correspond to the minimum amount to be achieved per KPI to be eligible for the variable compensation payment) is not met, according to the parameters set at the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle;

  • The average attained for the goals defined per KPI, weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation, is lower than 95%.

  • In setting all the remunerations, specifically in the distribution of the total amount of variable remuneration for members of the Board of Directors, the general principles outlined above shall be observed: functions performed, the Company's situation and market criteria.

MOTA-ENGIL GROUP's compensation policy extends to managers and employees, segmented into predefined functional groups (with the members of the Board of Directors included in Top Executives), using the Hay international model as a basis for scoring functions. Mota-Engil's compensation policy guarantees that the compensation set for each functional group (whether it is a fixed or a variable component) have as a rationale the internal equity and the salary benchmarking relative to the market of reference, carried out periodically.

Regarding the company groups with a policy and recommended practices that were used as comparison for setting remunerations, the Remuneration Committee has taken into consideration, within the limits of accessible information, all the national companies of equivalent size, specifically within the PSI-20 as well as companies in other international markets with characteristics similar to the MOTA-ENGIL GROUP.

There are no agreements made by the Wages Committee regarding payments by MOTA-ENGIL for dismissal or termination of directors by agreement.

There are no plans for allocation of shares or rights to acquire options on shares or any other incentive system with shares, since the criteria related to the variable components of the management bodies' remuneration are those that are listed in the remuneration policy described in point II.30.

Information regarding the connection between remuneration and the performance of management bodies is that which is stated in the remuneration policy described in point II.30.

Information regarding the main parameters and the grounds for any system of annual premiums is that which is stated in the remuneration policy described in point II.30. There are no other non-monetary benefits.

During 2012, no amounts were paid or owed to any ex-executive directors as indemnification for termination of duties.

There are no other amounts to be paid for any reason to other companies in a domain or group relationship.

Some of the directors (founding shareholders) are beneficiaries of a pension plan with defined benefits that will allow them to receive a pension equivalent to 80% of the salary earned on the date of retirement. It is important to note that this plan was already in effect prior to the date of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA's entry in the stock exchange.

According to note 31 of the Annex to the consolidated accounts, on 31 December of 2012 and 2011, the responsibilities to pensioners and with active personnel as well as the corresponding coverage, are as follows:

2012 2011
Responsibilities to pensioners 1,609,415 1,644,900
Responsibilities to current workers 8,519,348 7,984,012
Provisions constituted 10,128,763 9,628,911
% of coverage 100% 100%

These responsibilities were updated in 2012, as a result of the last actuarial study available, as at 31 December, 2012, and which assumes the following presuppositions (without alterations compared to 2011):

2012 2011
Mortality Table TV 73/77 TV 73/77
Disability Table EKV80 EKV80
Turnover Table PCRTurnOver PCRTurnOver
Earning Rate of the Fund 4.5% 4.5%
Growth Rate of Wages 2% 2%
Adjustment Rate for Pensions 4% 4%
Growth Rate of Pensions 0% 0%
Retirement Age 65 65
Number of benefit payments 14 14

The responsibilities for defined pension benefit plans are calculated according to the Projected Unit Credit Method, using the actuarial and financial presuppositions most appropriate to the plan set up.

II.32 Information on the manner in which the remuneration is structured so as to allow the alignment of the interests of members of the management body with the long-term interests of the Company, and on how it is based on performance evaluation and discourages the excessive assumption of risks.

As described in point II.30, Mota-Engil GROUP's compensation policy has underlying variable compensation instruments structured in such a way as to promote the alignment of the interests of the management body members with the long-term interests of the Company, discouraging the excessive assumption of risks.

As such, defined in the compensation policy are mechanisms for indexing variable compensation to performance evaluation, which, in turn, is based on KPIs (Key-Performance Indicators) established from the "Ambition 2013" Strategic Plan (recently updated through "Ambition 2.0"), defined with a long-term approach.

Under the terms of the quantitative component of the performance evaluation, the goals to be met for each KPI are defined at the start of the evaluation cycle.

Determining the variable compensation in the Group presupposes an average minimal achievement of 95% of the goals set, weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation (which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between a predefined minimum and maximum percentage).

Additionally, there are preventative mechanisms in place for inhibiting the variable compensation payment, should any of the following conditions occur:

  • One of the milestones (which correspond to the minimum amount to be achieved per KPI to be eligible for the variable compensation payment) is not met, according to the parameters set at the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle;

  • The average attained for the goals defined per KPI, weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation, is lower than 95%.

II.33 Concerning the remuneration of executive directors:

a) Reference to the fact that the remuneration of executive directors includes a variable component and information regarding the way this component depends on the performance evaluation

The remuneration and compensation policy for executive members of the Company's Board of Directors follows a plan consisting of: (i) a fixed component defined according to the function, the corresponding position within the functional groups predefined for the Mota-Engil GROUP and market benchmarking (supported by the Hay international methodology of scoring functions), and which includes the base gross remuneration paid in reference to the period of a year; and (ii) a variable component paid as a performance bonus, taking into consideration the progress of the director's performance, based on criteria defined and annually reviewed by the Remuneration Committee.

The criteria for allocating variable compensation to members of the GROUP's management bodies are indexed to the performance evaluation, the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee.

The performance evaluation encompasses two components: the quantitative evaluation, measured through the fulfilment of the KPIs indexed to the "Ambition 2013" strategic plan (recently updated by "Ambition 2.0"), and which are laid out in annual goals, set at the beginning of each evaluation cycle; and the qualitative evaluation that results from an discretionary individual evaluation.

Determining the variable compensation applicable to managers in the Mota-Engil GROUP presupposes the observance of two cumulative conditions: the achievement of milestones, defined in the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle, laid out from the long-range strategic plan; the average achievement of at least 95% of the quantitative goals covered in the individual qualitative evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages.

b)Indication of the Company bodies qualified to make the performance evaluations of the executive directors

The evaluation of members of the Executive Board of Directors is made by the Remuneration Committee.

c) Indication of the predetermined criteria for the performance evaluations of the executive directors

The quantitative component of the performance evaluation includes a set of KPIs, indexed in the "Ambition 2013" Strategic Plan (recently updated by "Ambition 2.0"), according to a Balanced Scorecard methodology, orienting the performance around four value perspectives: the Group's Financial sustainability and the creation of value for the shareholders; the satisfaction of customer needs; efficiency and innovation in terms of internal processes; and the development and enabling of human capital.

Presented below is a sample summary of the KPI matrix adopted in the Balanced Scorecard tool in effect in the GROUP.

Financial Perspective · ROCE
· EBITDA
· Turnover
Customers · % international turnover generated in selected markets
Internal Processes · Weight of investment on the generation of future turnover
Learning and Growth · Participation of Staff Members in the ME Active School

The quantitative evaluation is later weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation, of a discretionary nature, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages.

d)Explanation of the relative importance of the variable and fixed components of the remuneration of directors and an indication regarding the maximum limits for each component.

The relative importance of the variable and fixed components of the remuneration of directors is found described in point II.30.

Besides the articles of association determining that, in overall terms, the variable salary of the Board of Directors cannot exceed 5% of the profits for the financial year, there are mechanisms in the compensation policy set in place that aim, on the one hand, to reward the effective creation of value in a long-range perspective, whilst on the other hand, they see to discourage the assumption of excessive risks and behaviours that are out of line with the strategy outlined for the GROUP.

In this way, the fixed and variable compensation is delimited by compensation place holders that have as their rationale the function, the corresponding functional group and the benchmarking in the market of reference. The fixed compensation has an underlying predefined minimum and maximum value by functional group and the variable compensation is dependent on the performance evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages. In aggregate terms, the mix of fixed and variable compensations is balanced, due to the setting of minimum and maximum limits, provided in the scope of the compensation policy.

e) Indication on the deferred payment of the variable component of the remuneration, with mention of the period of deferment.

There is no deferment in the payment of the aforesaid variable remunerations.

f) Explanation about how the payment of the variable remuneration is subject to the continued positive performance of the Company throughout the period of deferment.

Under the terms of point II.30, the payment of the variable remuneration is subject to the continued positive performance of the Company.

Ex-ante, the monitoring of positive performance is carried out through the periodic evaluation of the KPIs laid out from the "Ambition 2013" Strategic Plan (recently updated by "Ambition 2.0") and integrated in the Balanced Scorecard methodology, making it possible to monitor the Company's performance track. Ex-post there are compensation policy mechanisms in place which seek to prevent the payment of variable compensation should one of the following conditions not occur:

  • One of the milestones (which correspond to the minimum amount to be achieved per KPI to be eligible for the variable compensation payment) is not met, according to the parameters set at the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle;

  • The average attained for the goals defined per KPI, weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation, is

lower than 95%.

g) Sufficient information regarding the criteria on which the allocation of variable remuneration in shares is based as well as regarding the retaining, by executive directors, of the Company shares they have acceded to, the future making of contracts related to those shares, specifically hedging or risk transfer contracts, their respective limits and relation to the total annual remuneration amount

The Company does not have, or plan to have any remuneration measure in effect that includes the allocation of shares and/or any other incentive system with shares.

h) Sufficient information regarding the criteria on which the allocation of variable remuneration in options is based and indication of the period of deferment and price of the financial year

The Company does not have, or plan to have any remuneration measure in effect that includes the allocation of rights to acquire options over shares.

i) Identification of the principal parameters and grounds for any annual bonus system or any other non-monetary benefits

The Company does not have an annual bonus system or any other non-monetary benefits.

j) Remuneration paid as profit sharing and/or bonus payments and the reasons for such bonuses and/or profit sharing being awarded

The remunerations paid as profit sharing and/or bonus payments are shown in point II.31 and are part of a variable component, as a performance bonus, taking into account the criteria listed.

l) Indemnification paid or owed to ex-executive directors related to the termination of their duties during the financial year

During 2012, no amounts were paid or owed to any ex-executive directors as indemnification for termination of duties.

m) Reference to the contractual limitation provided for in regard to the compensation to be paid for dismissal of a director without just cause and its relation to the variable remuneration component

No limits have been set contractually for the compensation to be paid for the dismissal of a director without just cause beyond that set forth in the law. Mota-Engil resorts to the legal instruments available in the law that are appropriate for this situation, specifically when there is inadequate performance by a director.

n) Amounts of any type paid by other Companies in a subsidiary or group relation

In financial year 2012, no amounts were paid to Mota-Engil executive directors (or to non-executive directors) by Companies in a subsidiary or group relation.

o) Description of the main features of supplementary pension regimes or early retirement for directors, indicating whether or not they were subject to review by the General Meeting

Some of the directors (founding shareholders) are beneficiaries of a pension plan with defined benefits that will allow them to receive a pension equivalent to 80% of the salary earned on the date of retirement. It is important to note that this plan was already in effect prior to the date of Mota-Engil's entry in the stock exchange.

p) Estimate of the value of significant non-monetary benefits considered as remuneration and not covered in previous situations

The Company does not attribute any non-monetary benefits as remuneration.

q) The existence of mechanisms that would impede executive directors from entering into contracts that might put into question the reason for having the variable remuneration.

No mechanisms have been formally provided for that would impede executive directors from entering into contracts that might put into question the reason for having the variable remuneration. The Remuneration Committee, however, always takes this factor into consideration in the criteria used for setting the variable remuneration.

II.34 Reference to the fact that the remuneration of non-executive members of the management body does not include variable components.

The remuneration of non-executive members of the management body includes variable components. Mota-Engil believes that, besides having the duty to reward the long-term strategy carried out by the entire Board of Directors, including the non-executive directors, this does not pervert their non-executive function.

II.35 Information regarding the Company's adopted policy on communicating irregularities (means of communication, people with the right to receive such communications, how to treat communications and listing of people and bodies with access to the information and their respective interaction in the process)

At the end of 2008, the "Regulation of the Statutory Audit Board on proceedings to adopt in matters of the communication of irregularities" was approved and distributed to the entire Group through an internal service order.

Mota-Engil's Board of Directors, by the approval of this regulation, wished to see a boost in the internal communication of irregular practices in order to prevent or repress irregularities, avoiding aggravated damage caused by a continuing irregular practice and complying with the recommendation of the CMVM (Securities Exchange Commission) on this matter.

The regulation considers as irregular practice all acts or omissions, wilful or negligent, practiced within the scope of the activity of the Mota-Engil Group companies that could have an impact on the financial, or other, statements and that could damage the patrimony and good name of the Group, specifically violations of any law, standard or regulation, practice of fraud, abuse of authority, poor management, inappropriate use of funds, damage to the health and safety of workers and damages to the environment.

The Statutory Audit Board guarantees the confidentiality of reports, as well as anonymity of their authors, to anyone who communicates indications of irregular practices, without prejudice to the knowledge on the part of the Mota-Engil Board of Directors. When the instances of irregularities are communicated by employees of companies of the Mota-Engil Group, they can never have their rights harmed for doing so. Whoever denounces instances of irregular practices with obvious dishonesty or in bad faith, as well as anyone who violates the duty of confidentiality may have criminal proceedings brought against them, as well as disciplinary actions in the case of employees of Mota-Engil Group companies.

The procedural phases of the system of communicating irregularities, the responsibility of the Statutory Audit Board,

are as follows:

  • a) Receipt and recording;
  • b) Preliminary analysis and evaluation of the consistency of the communication received;
  • c) Investigation;
  • d) Final report, with communication to the chairman of the Board of Directors.

The investigation process is carried out by the Statutory Audit Board, assisted by the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee, which has the authority to focus on non-decisive issues. The Investment, Audit and Risk Committee may propose the hiring of external auditors or other experts to assist in the investigations, when warranted by the specialty of the issues in question.

By 31 January of each year, the Statutory Audit Board evaluates the activity carried out in the year just ended and proposes changes that it considers necessary for improving and perfecting the system for communicating irregular practices.

II.36 Identification of the members of the committees formed for the purposes of evaluating individual and group performances of executive directors, reflection on the governance system adopted by the Company and identification of potential candidates with the qualifications for the office of director

There are no committees with specific responsibilities in these matters that have been formed as part of the management or supervisory bodies.

II.37 Number of meetings of committees formed with responsibilities in the matter of management and supervision during the financial year in question, as well as reference to the drawing up of minutes of those meetings

Not applicable, in light of that which was explained in the previous point.

II.38 Reference to the fact that a member of the Remuneration Committee has the knowledge and experience in remuneration policy matters

It is felt that, by virtue of their respective curricula and professional careers (as found in point II.18), the three members of the Remuneration Committee possess knowledge and experience in matters of remuneration policy. Additionally, and when necessary, the Remuneration Committee is aided by specialised resources, internal or external to the Company, to support its decisions in matters of remuneration policy.

II.39 Reference to the independence of natural or collective persons contracted for the Remuneration Committee through a work or service contract in relation to the Board of Directors and, when applicable, to whether these people have a current relationship with the company's consultant

António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (Chairman and non-executive member of the Board of Directors) and Maria Teresa Queirós Vasconcelos Mota Neves da Costa (non-executive member of the Board of Directors) form the Remuneration Committee, having been elected for these duties by the General Meeting, under a proposal from the majority shareholder Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, SA. Their participation on the Remuneration Committee is limited exclusively to the representation of the shareholder interest, intervening there in that capacity and not as members of the management body. To ensure their independence in the performance of these duties, these members do not take part in any discussion or deliberation in which there is or there may be a conflict of interest, specifically when it comes to the setting of their own remunerations as members of the management body. No company was hired to support the Remuneration Committee in its functions.

The rise of Mota-Engil shares, which started in the third quarter of 2012, was very prominent in the fourth quarter, allowing for an annual appreciation of 51.4% (27.9% in the fourth quarter) in what was one of the best PSI 20 index performances, which appreciated by only 2.9% over the year (8.7% in the fourth quarter). This positive change in the stock market and, from the start, in the quotation of Mota-Engil, particularly accentuated during the last quarter of the year, reflects in large measure, the steps announced by the European Central Bank in the direction of fighting the financial crisis in the Euro Zone, specifically the intention to buy public debt from countries receiving financial assistance. Hence, the interest on the Portuguese public debt began a downward path and had a positive influence on the securities exchange, which was evidence in the generalised increase in the quotations of most of the listed companies. The volume of Mota-Engil shares traded on the stock exchange reached 42.2 million, a drop of 9.4% compared to 2011.

The annual behaviour of the stock can be analysed in the following way:

All information published is made available on the CMVM website (www.cmvm.pt) as well as that of Mota-Engil (www.mota-engil.pt).

The representative for Market Relations is Luis Filipe Cardoso da Silva, whose contact information is:

Luís Silva Edifício Mota Rua do Rego Lameiro, 38 4300-454 Porto Tel.: +351 225 190 300 Fax: +351 225 190 303 e-mail: [email protected]

The person in charge of the Division of Relations with the Capital Market is João Vermelho. His contact information:

João Vermelho Rua Mário Dionísio, 2 2796-957 Linda-a-Velha Tel.: 351 214 158 200 Fax: +351 214 158 688 e-mail: [email protected] III.17 Indication of the amount of annual remuneration paid to the auditor and other natural or collective persons belonging to the same network supported by the Company and/or by companies in subsidiary or group relationship, as well as the discrimination of the percentage related to the following services: a) statutory auditing services; b) other reliability guarantee services; c) fiscal consultancy services; d) services other than statutory auditing. If the auditor provides any services described in subparagraphs c) and d), a description should be made of the means to safeguard his independence. For the purposes of this information, the concept of network is that deriving from the Recommendation by the European Commission No. C (2002) 1873, of 16 May

During fiscal year 2012, the annual remuneration paid by MOTA-ENGIL, and by other companies in subsidiary or group relationship, to the Company's External Auditors (Deloitte & Associados, SROC, SA), including other entities belonging to the same network, was 4,146,220 euros, said payment being divided according to the following services provided (rounded values):

Nature of Service Amount %
Statutory audit of accounts 1,002,768 25%
Other reliability guarantee services 12,000 0%
Tax consultancy 189,028 5%
Other consultancy services 2,740,888 69%
TOTAL 3,944,684 100%

The large share of "Other consulting services" in 2012 was due to the development of special and non-recurring projects in Angola (a two-year project: 2011 and 2012), in the areas of equipment, purchasing and integration of assets. Its cost came to approximately 2.7 million Euros (2.5 million Euros in 2011), seeing that, given the specificity of the aforesaid projects and the country in question, the choice fell on Deloitte, who presented the best curriculum and the best technical skills in those areas and in that country, and the Board of Directors did not see any other alternatives in the awarding of that contract.

The fiscal consultancy services and other services are provided by technicians other than those involved in the audit process, so that the auditor's independence is considered to be reinforced. In 2012, the honoraria supported by Mota-Engil related to the businesses in the Deloitte network in Portugal represented less than 3% of the total annual invoicing of Deloitte in Portugal. The External Auditor's quality system controls and monitors the potential risks of loss of independence or the possible conflicts of interest with MOTA-ENGIL. Additionally, a "Letter of Independence" is obtained, in which Deloitte guarantees the compliance with the international guidelines of IFAC (International Federation of Accountants) in the matters of auditor independence.

Additionally, the Statutory Audit Board annually receives, pursuant to the terms of Article 62‐B of Decree-Law 487/99, of 16 November (as amended by Decree-Law 224/2008, of 20 November), the auditor's statement of independence, which describes the services provided by this and other entities in the same network, the corresponding honoraria paid, possible threats to its independence and safeguards for dealing with them. All the threats to the auditor's independence are evaluated and discussed with the auditor, as well as the corresponding safeguards.

The Statutory Audit Board evaluates the external auditor annually, having the responsibility of supervising his qualifications and independence. In spite of it not being a specific or exclusive competence of the General Meeting, nothing prevents it from being called on in situations of interpellation by the Statutory Audit Board, to decide on the dismissal of the external auditor when there is just cause for such action. At any rate, and to the present date, the Mota-Engil Statutory Audit Board has not found any reasons to consider taking action to dismiss with just cause any entity that has performed the duties of external auditor for the Company.

III.18 Reference to the rotation period for the external auditor

Deloitte & Associados, SROC, SA has provided external auditing services to MOTA-ENGIL since 1992, under the terms of one-year service contracts. A new associate responsible for the orientation or direct execution of the aforesaid services was appoointed in 2009 (seven years after the previous substitution).

MOTA-ENGIL has not defined or implemented any rotation policy for the external auditor. The Board of Directors believes that substituting the associate responsible for the auditing services every seven years (according to the practice adopted by Deloitte whether through Deloitte & Associados, SROC, SA, or the Deloitte international network) in combination with the powers attributed to the Statutory Audit Board, is sufficient to guarantee the external auditor's independence.

The retaining of the auditor is based on an opinion given by the supervisory body that expressly weighed the conditions of auditor independence with the advantages and costs of its substitution.

Statement of the Board of Directors on remuneration policies applicable to Mota-Engil Group managers, as described in article 248-B(3) of the Securities Code (Recommendation no. II.1.5.3 of the CMVM Company Governance Code)

1. INTRODUCTION

In alignment with the recommendations made by the CMVM regarding the importance of the remuneration policy covering managers, as described in article 248-B(3) of the Securities Code, we present below the principles and general options in force, which extend to the entire group of Mota-Engil employees, including other staff whose professional activity could have a significant impact on the company's risk profile and whose remuneration contains an important variable component. Regarding the options in terms of remuneration applicable to the members of the management and supervisory bodies, which are mandated in Law 28/2009 of 19 June, please see the Declaration made by the Remuneration Committee for the concrete options in this matter.

2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

The Mota-Engil Group's remuneration policy encompasses a set of operative principles that seek to guarantee their contribution to the pursuit of the strategic vision and culture outlined for the Group, as well as the alignment of the managers' interests with the Group's long-term interests.

• Ability to capture and retain

Through its remuneration policy, the Mota-Engil Group seeks to guarantee the attraction and retention of talent, adopting a competitive position in the market, taking into account the degree of responsibility of the employees and their contribution to the creation of value.

• Alignment of remuneration practices with short and long-term performance

Mota-Engil Group's remuneration policy and corresponding rules of application are indexed to the performance evaluation model in effect, which in turn encompasses the evaluation of performance indicators and goals taken from the Group's strategic plan, defined with a long-range perspective.

• Equity/Competitiveness

The remuneration policy is segmented into functional groups formed as a result of an evaluation of function, on the one hand allowing for an internal levelling of the compensation practices according to criteria of responsibility, complexity and autonomy whilst on the other hand, it guarantees its competitiveness with the practices in the market of reference..

• Meritocracy:

Underlying the criteria that establish the increase in compensation components is the success achieved by the Group and its businesses, as well as the evaluation of the individual performance of employees, in order to recognise and reward merit and excellence.

• Transversality/verticality:

The Mota-Engil Group seeks to associate a common policy for executive and management functions with its management model, promoting the transversal alignment and the convergence towards the Group's strategy, culture and objectives. In order to safeguard the specificity of the different businesses, the remuneration policy further incorporates rules for vertical application, company to company, in order to adapt its practices to the context of the related sector of activity and market of reference.

The Group's compensation policy is segmented into functional groups that aggregate functions according to parameters such as level of knowledge, complexity or responsibility/autonomy required, which are gauged through the international Hay methodology, being structured in the following manner:

  • Top Executives
  • Executives
  • Top Management
  • Management
  • Technicians
  • Administrative and Operational

The functional groups listed constitute the fundamental support for the definition of human resource policies, specifically the compensation policy, which that establishes, for each functional group, the compensation components and conditions whether they be fixed, variable and/or in benefits, taking into account the strategy outlined for positioning and the salary practices of the chosen markets of reference.

The Mota-Engil Group managers are categorised in the functional groups: Top Executives, Executives and Top Management.

3. CONCRETE OPTIONS

3.1 Overall architecture of the Group's remuneration policy

The Mota-Engil Group's remuneration policy includes three compensation components, which are defined in light of the function performed, the alignment with the salary practices of the market, and the performance exhibited by the employees:

  • Fixed remuneration, which consists of gross base compensation with reference to a one-year period. Each functional group has an associated salary band, establishing minimum, average and maximum amounts, taking into consideration the function, level of experience and performance of the job holder and the salary practices of the market of reference and Mota-Engil.
  • Variable remuneration, which includes a short-term bonus, payable according to the achieving of defined performance goals and, in functional groups with greater responsibility, it includes a medium and long-term bonus, deferred over a three-year period. Each functional group establishes a set of target pays based on the salary practices in the market of reference for functions of an equivalent level of responsibility, according to the level of performance attained by the Group and the employee.
  • Benefits, for which there is an established portfolio of applicable benefits, in accordance with the function performed and the corresponding functional group.

3.2 Indexing of the remuneration policy to the performance of the Mota-Engil Group

With the objective of promoting the alignment of short and long-term interests of Mota-Engil and preventing the excessive assumption of risks, the payment of the variable component is indexed to the performance evaluation, the general principles of which and the corresponding method of application are set forth in the Corporate Performance Management model.

The performance evaluation in the Group encompasses two components:

• The quantitative evaluation, includes a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), indexed to the "Ambition 2013" Strategic Plan (recently updated by "Ambition 2.0"), according to the Balanced Scorecard methodology, orienting the performance around four value perspectives: the Group's Financial sustainability and the creation of value for the shareholders; the satisfaction of customer needs; efficiency and innovation in terms of internal processes; and the development and enabling of human capital.

Presented below is a sample summary of the KPI matrix adopted in the Balanced Scorecard tool in effect in

the Group.

Financial Perspective ROCE
EBITDA
Turnover
Customers % international turnover generated in selected markets
Internal Processes Weight of investment on the generation of future
turnover
Learning and Growth Participation of Staff Members in the ME Active School

• Qualitative evaluation, which results from an individual evaluation focusing on key-competencies for the Group (corporate, managerial and personal).

Preventative mechanisms are also set in place, which seek to promote restraint in the assumption and taking of risks that could be damaging to the interests of the Company. They inhibit the payment of variable compensation in order to minimise the incentive of results not in line with a perspective of creating sustainable value with a long-term perspective. Additionally, in the performance evaluations, criteria such as the risks assumed by those making decisions as well as the following of norms applicable to the Company's business are taken into consideration.

3.3 Plans for allocating shares or options for acquiring shares

There are no plans for allocating shares or options for acquiring shares related to the managers, as described in Article 248-B(3) of the Securities Code.
