Our strategy – 5 strategic axes aiming for a superior performance and reinforcing the business portfolio
Strategic axes

Greater focus on Profitability in Engineering and Construction
Increasing concentration of resources on core markets (larger scale) to achieve higher levels of profitability
Stepped-Up Growth in Environment, Infra Concessions and Industrial Services
Increasing relevance of long-term cash generating businesses with accelerated growth in international development

Cross-Group Efficiency Program
Reinforcing synergies and efficiency enabled by global operating platforms

New path towards Sustainability and Innovation

Greater focus on Profitability in Engineering and Construction


Closely monitor markets with strategic interest as a complement to the core markets

More selective and restrictive on opportunistic markets and projects
We will increase focus on core markets to achieve a higher profitability in E&C
Core markets will drive our focus and maintain our geographic balance…
Share of E&C revenue (%)


| … therefore, reducing complexity to improve | |
|---|---|
| sales and profitability |
| 2020 | 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Less complexity As result of focus on core markets with scale and know-how which allows less dispersion of resources |
29 Individual markets |
11 Hubs1 |
| Larger scale per market As result of better market coordination (within each region) to target larger projects |
avg. revenue/market 3x 53 M€ |
~150 M€ |
| Improved profitability As result of more efficiency and larger projects, sustaining a benchmarking position within the industry |
E&C EBITDA mg. 11 % |
13 % |
Balanced and more robust footprint founded on core markets that will drive profitable growth
Higher concentration of resources (commercial and operations) and support services improves efficiency and capacity to successfully target larger EPC projects
Top performer in E&C operating profitability within the industry and a rigorous, across-the board, Project Risk Management Framework


Stepped-Up Growth in Environment, Infra Concessions and Industrial Services
Keep growing Environment as a key strategic business (green business line)

Capture value potential of Infra Concessions portfolio and optimize capital allocation
Accelerate growth in Industrial Engineering Services leveraging on Group's footprint
We will concentrate our global Environment business in a new Business Unit with the aim of accelerating international growth

management competencies Group's broad experience on developing road concessions – past portfolio of more than 12B€ in assets
Focused on greenfield development - full value capture of construction & concession integrated view
Regions where ME has strong presence with multiple opportunities (e.g. Latam)
O&M and asset rotation (more mature concessions) to increase cash generation and funding capacity for new greenfield opportunities
New Concessions management model allows to extract more value leveraging the group's engineering capabilities
Focused BU (ME Capital) to manage concessions O&M, and manage the asset rotation strategy
Maintain divestments of assets/businesses with reduced size and without strategic fit
-
Only road concessions were included
-
Split according to road concessions stage in its full lifecycle
-
Share weighted by total investment

We will step up growth in Industrial Engineering Services by capitalizing on our markets footprint
Industrial Engineering Services1 will be one of our main growth drivers…
Industrial Services revenue (M€)

- Industrial Engineering Services (e.g. Contract Mining) – part of client's production chain; long term agreements with higher capex but more controlled risk
… by capitalizing on group's footprint and recent track record
Footprint in Regions with opportunities
Strong track
record
