Koncernens udvikling

Resumé

  • Koncernens omsætning blev 5,0 mia. DKK, hvilket er 18 % lavere end sidste år.
  • MT Højgaard koncernen realiserede et resultat før skat på 307 mio. DKK, hvilket er tilfredsstillende i det nuværende marked. Den realiserede resultatgrad (før skat-margin) er på 3,4 % mod 3,2 % i 2008.
  • Højgaard Holding koncernens resultat før skat blev 184 mio. DKK mod 208 mio. DKK i 2008. Den realiserede resultatgrad (før skat-margin) er på 3,7 % mod 3,4 % i 2008.
  • Det samlede resultat efter skat blev på 134 mio. DKK mod 155 mio. DKK i 2008.
  • For 2010 forventes en omsætning på ca. 5 mia. DKK og en resultatgrad (før skat-margin) i niveauet 2 % til 3 %.
  • Der stilles forslag om udbytte på 10 DKK pr. aktie svarende til 42 mio. DKK.

Højgaard Holding a/s' væsentligste aktiv er 54 % ejerskab af MT Højgaard a/s. Managementkontrakten i Højgaard Industri a/s med Banedanmark om produktion af betonsveller på det af Banedanmark ejede fabriksanlæg i Fredericia løber frem til primo 2012. Moderselskabets likvide beredskab udgør ca. 100 mio. DKK.

Højgaard Holding koncernens resultat vil i al væsentlighed svare til 54 % af MT Højgaard koncernens resultat, og til rådighed for udlodning til aktionærerne vil primært være det udbytte, der måtte blive udloddet fra MT Højgaard a/s.

MT Højgaard a/s vil for 2009 udlodde 50 mio. DKK, hvoraf Højgaard Holdings andel udgør 27 mio. DKK, som udloddes til Højgaard Holdings aktionærer med 6 DKK pr. aktie. Derudover vil vi også i år udlodde 4 DKK pr. aktie af moderselskabets likviditet, hvorfor der stilles forslag om et udbytte på i alt 10 DKK pr. aktie svarende til 42 mio. DKK.

På den ordinære generalforsamling den 24. april 2009 fik bestyrelsen bemyndigelse til at erhverve egne aktier op til 10 % af aktiekapitalen. Indtil dato er der inden for denne bemyndigelse erhvervet 42.329 stk. B-aktier à 20 DKK svarende til 1,0 % af aktiekapitalen (0,1 % af stemmerne). Til generalforsamlingen den 23. april 2010 stilles forslag om, at aktierne annulleres. Aktierne er anskaffet til kurs 121 svarende til 5 mio. DKK, som er nedskrevet over den frie egenkapital.

Resultat i forhold til forventninger

Højgaard Holding koncernens resultat før skat blev på 184 mio. DKK og resultatgraden (før skat-margin) på 3,7 %, hvilket svarer til det vi meddelte den 5. marts 2010.

I årsrapporten for 2008 forventedes en omsætning på ca. 5,5 mia. DKK og en resultatgrad (før skat-margin) på mellem 2 % og 3 %, som i delårsrapporten af 31. august 2009 blev justeret til en omsætning på ca. 5 mia. DKK og en resultatgrad på ca. 3 %. Den 5. marts 2010 oplyste vi, at resultatet før skat blev på godt 180 mio. DKK svarende til en resultatgrad på 3,7 %.

Omsætning

Koncernens omsætning blev på 5,0 mia. DKK mod 6,1 mia. DKK i 2008 – et fald på 18 %. Stort set hele omsætningen realiseres i MT Højgaard koncernen, og udviklingen er en følge af den generelle afmatning i markedet.

Resultater

MT Højgaard koncernen realiserede et resultat før skat på 307 mio. DKK. Den realiserede resultatgrad (før skat-margin) er på 3,4 % mod 3,2 % i 2008.

Højgaard Industri a/s har også i 2009 haft fuld produktionsudnyttelse.

Moderselskabet Højgaard Holding a/s har indtægtsført en tidligere hensættelse på 2,1 mio. DKK, og de finansielle indtægter er på niveau med 2008.

Resultat før skat blev 184 mio. DKK mod 208 mio. DKK i 2008.

Skatten af årets resultat udgør 50 mio. DKK, hvilket svarer til en effektiv skat på 27 %.

Koncernens samlede resultat efter skat blev 134 mio. DKK mod 155 mio. DKK i 2008.

Balance og egenkapitaludvikling

Højgaard Holding koncernens balance blev på 3.080 mio. DKK mod 2.966 mio. DKK ultimo 2008. Udviklingen kan henføres til MT Højgaard koncernen.

Egenkapitalen udgjorde pr. 31. december 2009 964 mio. DKK mod 880 mio. DKK året før. Aktiens indre værdi pr. 31. december 2009 er 229 DKK pr. aktie à 20 DKK. Egenkapitalen er udover resultatet påvirket af udbetaling af udbytte for 2008 på 42 mio. DKK og køb af egne aktier på 5 mio. DKK.

Egenkapitalforrentningen udgør 14,6 % (2008: 18,8 %).

Pengestrømsopgørelse

Pengestrømme fra driftsaktiviteter blev 274 mio. DKK mod 306 mio. DKK i 2008.

Pengestrømme fra investeringsaktivitet udgjorde netto -269 mio. DKK mod -99 mio. DKK i 2008. Der er anvendt 183 mio. DKK (2008: 10 mio. DKK) til køb af værdipapirer og 9 mio. DKK (2008: 22 mio. DKK) til køb af virksomheder. Nettoinvestering i materielle aktiver udgjorde 77 mio. DKK (2008: 67 mio. DKK).

Pengestrømme til finansiering på 57 mio. DKK kan henføres til udbetaling af udbytte på 42 mio. DKK, køb af egne aktier på 5 mio. DKK og netto betaling af gæld med 10 mio. DKK.

Samlet er koncernens likvider faldet med 52 mio. DKK til 217 mio. DKK.

Videnressourcer

Koncernens væsentligste aktivitet udføres i MT Højgaard koncernen. Der henvises derfor til omtalen af videnressourcer i MT Højgaards årsrapport 2009.

Samfundsansvar

I Højgaard Holding koncernen har vi den grundlæggende holdning, at vi skal udvise en samfundsansvarlig handlemåde.

Koncernens væsentligste aktivitet udføres i MT Højgaard koncernen, som har vedtaget en etisk politik. Der er i MT Højgaards årsrapport for 2009 redegjort for deres politikker, indsats og resultater på området, hvortil der henvises.

For holdingselskabet (2 ansatte) og produktion af betonsveller (28 ansatte) er der ikke udarbejdet etiske politikker, ligesom der ikke på samme niveau som i MT Højgaard foretages planlægning, måling og opfølgning.

Lokalt ansatte på udenlandske projekter er i modsætning til tidligere medtaget i opgørelsen. Sammenligningstal er tilrettet.

Risikofaktorer

Koncernens væsentligste aktivitet udføres i MT Højgaard koncernen. Der henvises derfor til omtalen af risikofaktorer i MT Højgaards årsrapport 2009.

De øvrige aktiviteter i Højgaard Holding koncernen indebærer kun beskedne finansielle risici. Koncernens finansielle risici er omtalt i note 29 på side 36.

Begivenheder efter årets udgang

Ud over begivenheder og udviklinger, der er omtalt og indregnet i denne årsrapport, er ledelsen ikke bekendt med andre forhold, der er indtruffet efter den 31. december 2009, og som vil have

en væsentlig indflydelse på Højgaard Holding koncernens finansielle stilling eller fremtidsforventninger.

Forventninger til 2010

MT Højgaard koncernen forventer en omsætning på ca. 9 mia. DKK og en resultatgrad (før skat-margin) i niveauet 2 % til 3 %. Højgaard Holdings andel udgør 54 %.

Samlet forventer Højgaard Holding koncernen en omsætning på ca. 5 mia. DKK og en resultatgrad (før skat-margin) i niveauet 2 % til 3 %.

Koncernens effektive skatteprocent forventes at ligge på et lidt højere niveau end den danske skattesats.

Årsrapporten indeholder udsagn om fremtiden vedrørende ledelsens forventninger til omsætning og økonomiske resultater. Forventningerne til den fremtidige økonomiske udvikling er i sagens natur forbundet med usikkerhed og risici, der kan medføre, at udviklingen afviger i forhold til det forventede. For en beskrivelse af risici henvises til afsnittet "Risikofaktorer" ovenfor.

Virksomhedsledelse

Højgaard Holdings bestyrelse og direktion søger at sikre, at selskabets ledelsesstruktur og kontrolsystemer er hensigtsmæssige og fungerer tilfredsstillende.

Højgaard Holding er noteret på NASDAQ OMX København og derfor omfattet af "Anbefalinger for god selskabsledelse", senest ændret den 10. december 2008, som er tilgængelige på hjemmesiden www.corporategovernance.dk. Højgaard Holdings corporate governance er stort set i overensstemmelse med anbefalingerne, dog med enkelte undtagelser. Gennemgangen nedenfor følger disse anbefalinger, herunder "følg eller forklar"-princippet.

Samspil med aktionærer og øvrige interessenter

Højgaard Holdings ledelse ønsker at sikre en god information og dialog med selskabets aktionærer og øvrige interessenter.

Børsmeddelelser, års- og delårsrapporter er tilgængelige på selskabets hjemmeside, umiddelbart efter offentliggørelse. Det er muligt at få disse nyheder fremsendt elektronisk ved at tilmelde sig e-mail service på hjemmesiden. Hjemmesiden er på dansk og engelsk, idet dog enkelte elementer kun foreligger på dansk.

Højgaard Holdings væsentligste aktiv er 54 % ejerskab af MT Højgaard a/s. For Højgaard Holding koncernen udarbejdes delårsrapporter ved udgangen af 1., 2. og 3. kvartal vedlagt delårsrapporter for MT Højgaard.

Der afholdes efter behov møder med analytikere og professionelle investorer. Præsentationer fra disse møder er tilgængelige på hjemmesiden.

Højgaard Holdings aktiekapital er opdelt i A-aktier og B-aktier, som begge er noteret på NASDAQ OMX København. Stemmeforholdet mellem de to aktieklasser er 10:1.

Knud Højgaards Fond ejer 64 % af aktiekapitalen og kontrollerer 78 % af samtlige stemmer i Højgaard Holding. Fonden skal efter sin fundats have en bestemmende indflydelse over Højgaard Holding a/s og derved søge at opretholde kontinuiteten i selskabet og dertil knyttede selskaber. Såfremt opretholdelsen af selskabets eller dertil knyttede selskabers anseelse eller markedsmæssige position efter bestyrelsens vurdering nødvendiggør det, kan fonden i forbindelse med fusion, spaltning, kapitaltilførsel eller andre strukturændringer afgive den bestemmende indflydelse. Fonden skal dog bevare en væsentlig indflydelse i de nævnte selskaber.

Det er bestyrelsens opfattelse, at opdelingen af Højgaard Holdings aktiekapital i to aktieklasser med forskellige stemmerettigheder er egnet til at sikre, at bestemmelserne i fundatsen for Knud Højgaards Fond efterleves, uden at selskabets muligheder

for udvikling af den grund begrænses. Højgaard Holding har derfor ikke planer om at søge stemmeretsdifferentieringen ophævet.

Selskabets vedtægter indeholder ingen grænser for ejerskab eller stemmeret.

Generalforsamlingen er selskabets øverste myndighed, og bestyrelsen lægger vægt på, at aktionærerne får en grundig orientering om de forhold, der skal træffes beslutning om på generalforsamlingen. Indkaldelse til generalforsamling offentliggøres og udsendes til de navnenoterede aktionærer mindst otte dage før afholdelsen. Alle aktionærer har ret til at deltage i og stemme eller afgive fuldmagt ved generalforsamlingen, jf. vedtægterne. Aktionærer vil kunne give fuldmagt til bestyrelsen eller andre for hvert enkelt punkt på dagsordenen. Generalforsamlingen giver aktionærerne mulighed for at stille spørgsmål til bestyrelse og direktion, ligesom aktionærerne inden for en nærmere angivet tidsfrist kan stille forslag, der ønskes behandlet på generalforsamlingen.

På generalforsamlingen kan beslutninger vedtages ved simpel stemmeflerhed, mens forslag om vedtægtsændringer kræver vedtagelse med mindst 2/3 såvel af de afgivne stemmer som af den repræsenterede aktiekapital, medmindre lovgivningen stiller skærpede krav.

Bestyrelsens arbejde

Bestyrelsens arbejde er i vidt omfang fastlagt i lovgivningen. Bestyrelsen varetager den overordnede ledelse, fastlægger mål og strategier samt godkender de overordnede budgetter og handlingsplaner. Desuden fører bestyrelsen tilsyn med selskabet og fører kontrol med, at dette ledes på forsvarlig vis og i overensstemmelse med lovgivning og vedtægter. De generelle retningslinier for bestyrelsens arbejde er fastlagt i en forretningsorden, som mindst én gang årligt gennemgås med henblik på opdatering. Forretningsordenen indeholder blandt andet procedurer for direktionens rapportering, bestyrelsens arbejdsform, samt en beskrivelse af bestyrelsesformandens og næstformandens opgaver og ansvarsområder.

Bestyrelsen modtager orientering såvel ved møder som ved skriftlig og mundtlig orientering. Der afholdes møder efter en fastlagt plan, normalt 6 gange årligt. Bestyrelsens formand forbereder og tilrettelægger bestyrelsens arbejde, i nogle sammenhænge i samarbejde med næstformanden.

Der er ikke fundet behov for at etablere faste bestyrelsesudvalg. Revisionsudvalgsopgaver varetages af den samlede bestyrelse.

Bestyrelsens sammensætning

Ifølge selskabets vedtægter vælger generalforsamlingen 3 til 7 medlemmer. Højgaard Holding a/s' bestyrelse er ligeledes medlemmer af MT Højgaard a/s' bestyrelse.

Bestyrelsen vurderer løbende, om der er anledning til at ajourføre eller styrke medlemmernes kompetence i forhold til opgaverne. Ved indstilling til valg af bestyrelsesmedlemmer på generalforsamlingen udsender bestyrelsen forinden en beskrivelse af de enkelte kandidaters baggrund, relevante kompetencer og andre ledelseshverv.

De generalforsamlingsvalgte bestyrelsesmedlemmer vælges for ét år ad gangen med mulighed for genvalg. Bestyrelsen vælger af sin midte en formand og en næstformand.

I henhold til forretningsordenen skal bestyrelsesmedlemmer, der er fyldt 70 år, fratræde på den ordinære generalforsamling.

Bestyrelsesformanden Per Møller, der tillige er bestyrelsesformand i MT Højgaard, har tidligere været administrerende direktør i Højgaard Holding. De øvrige generalforsamlingsvalgte bestyrelsesmedlemmer vurderes som værende uafhængige.

Bestyrelsens og direktionens samlede beholdning af selskabets aktier er oplyst på side 6, men selskabet finder det ikke nyttigt at give oplysninger om de enkelte medlemmers beholdninger.

Oplysninger om de enkelte bestyrelsesmedlemmer findes på side 12.

Direktionen

Bestyrelsen ansætter direktionen, der har ét medlem. Direktionen er ansvarlig for den daglige drift af selskabet. Bestyrelsens delegering af ansvar til direktionen er fastlagt i forretningsordenen.

Vederlag til bestyrelse og direktion

Bestyrelse og direktion aflønnes med et fast vederlag, og der er ikke etableret incitamentsprogrammer. Bestyrelsens vederlag godkendes af generalforsamlingen i forbindelse med godkendelse af årsrapporten. Direktionens vederlag fastlægges af bestyrelsen. Oplysning om årets vederlag findes i note 6 til årsregnskabet.

Evaluering af bestyrelse og direktion

Der er ingen formaliseret evaluering af bestyrelsens og direktionens arbejde. Bestyrelsen vurderer dog løbende direktionens arbejde, og bestyrelsesformanden vurderer bestyrelsens arbejde, arbejdsformen og samarbejdet i bestyrelsen og med direktionen.

Risikostyring

Koncernens aktiviteter udføres primært i MT Højgaard koncernen. Bestyrelsen i MT Højgaard a/s fastlægger politik og rammer for denne koncerns risici og sikrer, at der sker en effektiv styring af disse. MT Højgaards direktion rapporterer løbende til sin bestyrelse om væsentlige risici. For nærmere beskrivelse af MT Højgaards risici henvises til omtalen af risikofaktorer i selskabets årsrapport.

De øvrige risikoforhold i Højgaard Holding koncernen er begrænsede og varetages på tilsvarende vis af bestyrelse og direktion i Højgaard Holding.

Revision

Højgaard Holdings revisor vælges af generalforsamlingen for et år ad gangen. Forud for indstilling til valg på generalforsamlingen foretager bestyrelsen en vurdering af revisors uafhængighed og kompetencer mv.

Rammerne for revisors arbejde og honorering er beskrevet i en aftale godkendt af bestyrelsen.

Bestyrelsens medlemmer modtager revisors revisionsprotokollat. Bestyrelsen gennemgår årsrapporten og revisionsprotokollatet på et møde med revisor, og revisors observationer og væsentlige forhold fremkommet i forbindelse med revisionen drøftes. Herudover gennemgås de væsentligste regnskabsprincipper og regnskabsmæssige skøn.

Regnskabsaflæggelsesprocessen

Koncernens regnskabs- og kontrolsystemer er udformet til at sikre, at intern og ekstern finansiel rapportering giver et retvisende billede uden væsentlig fejlinformation samt at sikre valg og anvendelse af en hensigtsmæssig regnskabspraksis.

Bestyrelse og direktion i MT Højgaard a/s og Højgaard Holding a/s vurderer løbende væsentlige risici og interne kontroller i forbindelse med koncernens aktiviteter og deres eventuelle indflydelse på regnskabsaflæggelsesprocessen.

Bestyrelse og direktion i MT Højgaard a/s og Højgaard Holding a/s har fastlagt politikker, procedurer og kontroller på væsentlige områder i forbindelse med regnskabsaflæggelsesprocessen.

Ansvaret for opretholdelsen af tilstrækkelige og effektive interne kontroller og risikostyring i forbindelse med regnskabsaflæggelsen er forankret i direktionen i MT Højgaard a/s og Højgaard Holding a/s.

Bestyrelsen overvåger løbende regnskabsaflæggelsen, herunder blandt andet at gældende lovgivning overholdes, at anvendt regnskabspraksis er relevant, behandlingen af væsentlige og usædvanlige poster og skøn og det samlede oplysningsniveau i den finansielle rapportering.

Der er i MT Højgaards årsrapport for 2009 givet en detaljeret beskrivelse af regnskabsaflæggelsesprocessen, hvortil der henvises.

Ledelsespåtegning

Bestyrelse og direktion har dags dato behandlet og godkendt årsrapporten 2009 for Højgaard Holding a/s.

Årsrapporten er aflagt i overensstemmelse med International Financial Reporting Standards som godkendt af EU og danske oplysningskrav til årsrapporter for børsnoterede selskaber.

Det er vores opfattelse, at koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet giver et retvisende billede af koncernens og selskabets aktiver, passiver og finansielle stilling pr. 31. december 2009 samt af resultatet af koncernens og selskabets aktiviteter og pengestrømme for regnskabsåret 1. januar – 31. december 2009.

Det er endvidere vores opfattelse, at ledelsesberetningen indeholder en retvisende redegørelse for udviklingen i koncernens og selskabets aktiviteter og økonomiske forhold, årets resultat og af koncernens og selskabets finansielle stilling samt en beskrivelse af de væsentligste risici og usikkerhedsfaktorer, som koncernen og selskabet står over for.

Årsrapporten indstilles til generalforsamlingens godkendelse.

Revisionspåtegning

Den uafhængige revisors påtegning

Til aktionærerne i Højgaard Holding a/s

Vi har revideret koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet for Højgaard Holding a/s for regnskabsåret 1. januar - 31. december 2009, side 13-40. Koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet omfatter resultatopgørelse, totalindkomstopgørelse, balance, pengestrømsopgørelse, egenkapitalopgørelse og noter for såvel koncernen som selskabet. Koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet udarbejdes efter International Financial Reporting Standards som godkendt af EU og danske oplysningskrav for børsnoterede selskaber.

Vi har i tilknytning til revisionen gennemlæst ledelsens beretning, side 1-9 og 12, der udarbejdes efter danske oplysningskrav for børsnoterede selskaber, og afgivet udtalelse herom.

Ledelsens ansvar

Ledelsen har ansvaret for at udarbejde og aflægge et koncernregnskab og et årsregnskab, der giver et retvisende billede i overensstemmelse med International Financial Reporting Standards som godkendt af EU og danske oplysningskrav for børsnoterede selskaber. Dette ansvar omfatter udformning, implementering og opretholdelse af interne kontroller, der er relevante for at udarbejde og aflægge et koncernregnskab og årsregnskab, der giver et retvisende billede uden væsentlig fejlinformation, uanset om fejlinformationen skyldes besvigelser eller fejl samt valg og anvendelse af en hensigtsmæssig regnskabspraksis og udøvelse af regnskabsmæssige skøn, som er rimelige efter omstændighederne. Ledelsen har endvidere ansvaret for at udarbejde og afgive ledelsens beretning, der indeholder en retvisende redegørelse i overensstemmelse med danske oplysningskrav for børsnoterede selskaber.

Revisors ansvar og den udførte revision

Vores ansvar er at udtrykke en konklusion om koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet på grundlag af vores revision. Vi har udført vores revision i overensstemmelse med danske revisionsstandarder. Disse standarder kræver, at vi lever op til etiske krav samt planlægger og udfører revisionen med henblik på at opnå høj grad af sikkerhed for, at koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet ikke indeholder væsentlig fejlinformation.

En revision omfatter handlinger for at opnå revisionsbevis for de beløb og oplysninger, der er anført i koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet. De valgte handlinger afhænger af revisors vurdering, herunder vurderingen af risikoen for væsentlig fejlinformation i koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet, uanset om fejlinformationen skyldes besvigelser eller fejl. Ved risikovurderingen overvejer

revisor interne kontroller, der er relevante for selskabets udarbejdelse og aflæggelse af et koncernregnskab og årsregnskab, der giver et retvisende billede, med henblik på at udforme revisionshandlinger, der er passende efter omstændighederne, men ikke med det formål at udtrykke en konklusion om effektiviteten af selskabets interne kontrol. En revision omfatter endvidere stillingtagen til, om den af ledelsen anvendte regnskabspraksis er passende, om de af ledelsen udøvede regnskabsmæssige skøn er rimelige samt en vurdering af den samlede præsentation af koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet.

Det er vores opfattelse, at det opnåede revisionsbevis er tilstrækkeligt og egnet som grundlag for vores konklusion.

Revisionen har ikke givet anledning til forbehold.

Konklusion

Det er vores opfattelse, at koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet giver et retvisende billede af koncernens og selskabets aktiver, passiver og finansielle stilling pr. 31. december 2009 samt af resultatet af koncernens og selskabets aktiviteter og pengestrømme for regnskabsåret 1. januar - 31. december 2009 i overensstemmelse med International Financial Reporting Standards som godkendt af EU og danske oplysningskrav for børsnoterede selskaber.

Vi har i henhold til årsregnskabsloven gennemlæst ledelsens beretning. Vi har ikke foretaget yderligere handlinger i tillæg til den gennemførte revision af koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet. Det er på denne baggrund vores opfattelse, at oplysningerne i ledelsens beretning er i overensstemmelse med koncernregnskabet og årsregnskabet.

1 Anvendt regnskabspraksis

Generelt

Koncernens og moderselskabets årsrapport er aflagt i overensstemmelse med International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) som godkendt af EU og yderligere danske oplysningskrav til årsrapporter for børsnoterede selskaber, jf. OMX' oplysningskrav til årsrapporter for børsnoterede selskaber og IFRS-bekendtgørelsen udsendt i henhold til årsregnskabsloven.

Årsrapporten opfylder tillige IFRS udsendt af IASB.

Årsrapporten er aflagt i danske kroner.

Den anvendte regnskabspraksis er uændret i forhold til årsrapporten for 2008, bortset fra effekten af nedenstående forhold.

Med virkning pr. 1. januar 2009 er følgende implementeret: IAS 1 (ajourført 2007) Præsentation af årsregnskaber, IAS 23 (ajourført 2007) Låneomkostninger, IFRS 2 Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations, Amendments to IAS 32 og IAS 1: Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation, Amendments to IFRS 1 og IAS 27: Cost of an investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly-Controlled Entity or Associate, Amendment to IFRS 7: Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments, dele af Improvements to IFRSs May 2008 med ikrafttrædelse 1. januar 2009 og IFRIC 13, 15 og 16. IFRIC 15 og 16 er godkendt med en anden ikrafttrædelse i EU end de tilsvarende IFRIC som udstedt af IASB. IFRIC 15 og 16 er implementeret pr. 1. januar 2009, så implementeringen følger IASB's ikrafttrædelsesdatoer.

IAS 1 ændrer præsentationen af de primære opgørelser og visse noteoplysninger. Herudover har de nye regnskabsstandarder og fortolkningsbidrag ikke påvirket indregning og måling i 2009.

Desuden medfører den ændrede IAS 27: Cost of an investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly-Controlled Entity or Associate, der er implementeret fra 1. januar 2009 en ændret indregning af udbytter i moderselskabets årsregnskab. Idet udbytter fra dattervirksomheder, fælles ledede virksomheder og associerede virksomheder altid skal indregnes i resultatopgørelsen og ikke modregnes i kostprisen, selv om udlodning måtte hidrøre fra resultater vedrørende perioden før overtagelsestidspunktet.

Præsentationen i resultatopgørelsen af afledte finansielle instrumenter, såsom valutaterminskontrakter og lignende instrumenter til afdækning af finansielle risici, der opstår i forbindelse med den primære drift, er ændret. Gevinster og tab på disse instrumenter indregnes nu i produktionsomkostninger, hvor de tidligere blev indregnet under finansielle poster. Sammenligningstal er tilpasset.

Konsolidering

Koncernregnskabet omfatter moderselskabet Højgaard Holding a/s og de dattervirksomheder, hvori koncernen direkte eller indirekte besidder mere end 50 % af stemmerettighederne eller på anden måde har bestemmende indflydelse.

Andre virksomheder, hvori koncernen besidder mellem 20 % og 50 % af stemmerettighederne og udøver betydelig, men ikke bestemmende indflydelse, betragtes som associerede virksomheder. Disse virksomheder konsolideres ikke. Dog foretages pro rata konsolidering i koncernregnskabet af virksomheder, som ledes i fællesskab med en eller flere andre virksomheder – herunder MT Højgaard a/s.

Koncernregnskabet udarbejdes på grundlag af moderselskabets og de enkelte virksomheders reviderede årsregnskaber opgjort i overensstemmelse med Højgaard Holding koncernens regnskabspraksis.

Ved konsolideringen foretages sammenlægning af ensartede regnskabsposter og eliminering af koncerninterne indtægter og omkostninger, aktiebesiddelser, mellemværender og udbytter. Desuden elimineres urealiseret fortjeneste/tab ved transaktioner mellem de konsoliderede virksomheder.

Nyerhvervede eller nystiftede virksomheder medtages i koncernregnskabet fra overtagelsestidspunktet/stiftelsesdagen. Solgte eller afviklede virksomheder indregnes i koncernregnskabet frem til afståelsestidspunktet. Sammenligningstal korrigeres ikke for nyerhvervede, solgte eller afviklede virksomheder.

Fortjeneste/tab ved salg eller afvikling af dattervirksomheder og associerede virksomheder opgøres som salgssummen eller afviklingssummen med fradrag af den regnskabsmæssige værdi af nettoaktiver inklusive goodwill på salgstidspunktet samt omkostninger til salg eller afvikling.

Præsentation af afhændede aktiviteter og aktiviteter til salg

Afhændede aktiviteter og aktiviteter til salg udgør en enhed, hvis aktiviteter og pengestrømme operationelt og regnskabsmæssigt klart kan udskilles fra den øvrige virksomhed, og hvor enheden enten er solgt eller er udskilt bestemt for salg, og salget forventes gennemført inden for ét år i henhold til formel plan.

Resultatet og værdireguleringer efter skat af afhændede aktiviteter og aktiviteter til salg præsenteres på en særskilt linje i resultatopgørelsen med sammenligningstal. Aktiver og dertil knyttede forpligtelser udskilles på særskilte linjer i balancen.

Virksomhedssammenslutninger

Ved tilkøb af virksomheder, hvor moderselskabet opnår bestemmende indflydelse, anvendes overtagelsesmetoden. De tilkøbte virksomheders identificerbare aktiver, forpligtelser og eventualforpligtelser måles til dagsværdi på overtagelsestidspunktet. Identificerbare immaterielle aktiver indregnes, hvis de kan udskilles eller udspringer af en kontraktlig ret, og dagsværdien kan opgøres pålideligt. Der tages hensyn til skatteeffekten af de foretagne omvurderinger.

Positive forskelsbeløb (goodwill) mellem kostpris og dagsværdi af de overtagne aktiver, forpligtelser og eventualforpligtelser indregnes som goodwill under immaterielle aktiver. Negative forskelsbeløb (negativ goodwill) indtægtsføres i resultatopgørelsen på overtagelsestidspunktet.

Hvis der på overtagelsestidspunktet er usikkerhed om målingen af overtagne identificerbare aktiver, forpligtelser eller eventualforpligtelser, sker den første indregning på grundlag af foreløbigt opgjorte dagsværdier. Såfremt det efterfølgende viser sig, at identificerbare aktiver, forpligtelser og eventualforpligtelser havde en anden dagsværdi på overtagelsestidspunktet end først antaget, reguleres goodwill indtil 12 måneder efter overtagelsen.

Minoritetsinteresser

Minoritetsinteresser indregnes første gang på grundlag af dagsværdien af de overtagne aktiver, forpligtelser og eventualforpligtelser i den tilkøbte virksomhed på overtagelsestidspunktet.

I koncernregnskabet indregnes dattervirksomhedernes regnskabsposter fuldt ud. Minoritetsinteressernes forholdsmæssige andel af årets resultat fremgår af resultatopgørelsen. I balancen indregnes minoritetsinteresserne som en del af egenkapitalen, men vises som en særskilt post separat fra moderselskabsaktionærernes andel af egenkapitalen.

Joint ventures

Et joint venture er en fælles ledet aktivitet (konsortium eller arbejdsfællesskab) eller en fælles ledet virksomhed, hvor ingen af de deltagende parter har bestemmende indflydelse.

1 Anvendt regnskabspraksis, fortsat

Fælles ledede aktiviteter indregnes i koncernens regnskab pro rata i henhold til aftalegrundlaget, hvorved den forholdsmæssige andel af aktiver og forpligtelser samt indtægter og omkostninger fra de fælles ledede aktiviteter medtages i de tilsvarende poster i regnskabet.

Fælles ledede virksomheder indregnes ved pro rata konsolidering i koncernregnskabet. I moderselskabet måles investeringer i fælles ledede virksomheder til kostpris. Der nedskrives til genindvindingsværdi, såfremt denne er lavere end den regnskabsmæssige værdi.

Omregning af fremmed valuta

Den enkelte forretningsenheds funktionelle valuta fastsættes som den primære valuta på det marked, som forretningsenheden opererer på. Den overvejende funktionelle valuta for koncernen er danske kroner.

Transaktioner i alle andre valutaer end de enkelte forretningsenheders funktionelle valuta er transaktioner i fremmed valuta, som omregnes til den funktionelle valuta med anvendelse af transaktionsdagens kurs. Tilgodehavender og gæld i fremmed valuta omregnes med anvendelse af balancedagens kurser. Valutakursdifferencer, der opstår mellem transaktionsdagens eller balancedagens kurs henholdsvis kursen på betalingsdagen, indregnes i resultatopgørelsen under finansielle indtægter og omkostninger.

Ved indregning af udenlandske dattervirksomheder og associerede virksomheder omregnes resultatopgørelserne opgjort i de enkelte virksomheders funktionelle valuta til danske kroner efter de gennemsnitlige valutakurser, der ikke afviger væsentligt fra transaktionsdagens kurser, mens balanceposterne omregnes efter balancedagens valutakurser. Valutakursdifferencer, der opstår ved omregning af udenlandske dattervirksomheders egenkapital ved årets begyndelse til balancedagens valutakurser og resultatopgørelser fra gennemsnitskurser til balancedagens valutakurser, indregnes direkte på egenkapitalen under en særskilt reserve for valutakursreguleringer.

Kursregulering af mellemværender med udenlandske virksomheder, der anses for en del af den samlede nettoinvestering i den pågældende virksomhed, indregnes i koncernregnskabet direkte i egenkapitalen under en særskilt reserve for valutakursreguleringer.

Ved køb og salg af en udenlandsk enhed omregnes aktiver og forpligtelser til valutakursen på overtagelsesdagen henholdsvis afståelsesdagen.

Afledte finansielle instrumenter

Koncernen anvender afledte finansielle instrumenter såsom valutaterminskontrakter og lignende instrumenter til afdækning af finansielle risici, der opstår i forbindelse med den primære drift.

For afledte finansielle instrumenter, der ikke opfylder betingelserne for behandling som sikringsinstrumenter, indregnes ændringer i dagsværdien løbende i resultatopgørelsen under produktionsomkostninger.

20

For afledte finansielle instrumenter, der opfylder betingelserne for behandling som sikringsinstrumenter vedrørende fremtidige betalingsstrømme, indregnes ændringer i dagsværdien løbende i egenkapitalen. Indtægter og omkostninger vedrørende sådanne sikringstransaktioner overføres fra egenkapitalen ved realisation af det sikrede og indregnes i samme post som det sikrede.

Afledte finansielle instrumenter indregnes første gang i balancen til kostpris og måles efterfølgende til dagsværdi. Positive og negative dagsværdier af afledte

finansielle instrumenter indregnes under henholdsvis andre tilgodehavender og anden gæld. Dagsværdien opgøres på grundlag af aktuelle markedsdata og anerkendte værdiansættelsesmetoder baseret på observerbare valutakurser.

Leasingforhold

Leasingkontrakter vedrørende materielle aktiver, hvor koncernen har alle væsentlige risici og fordele forbundet med ejendomsretten (finansiel leasing) indregnes i balancen som aktiver. Aktiverne måles ved første indregning til kostpris svarende til dagsværdi eller til nutidsværdien af de fremtidige leasingydelser, hvis denne er lavere.

Ved beregning af nutidsværdien anvendes leasingaftalens interne rentefod som diskonteringsfaktor eller en tilnærmet værdi for denne.

Den kapitaliserede restleasingforpligtelse på finansielle leasingkontrakter indregnes under forpligtelser.

Alle øvrige leasingkontrakter betragtes som operationelle. Når leasingkontrakten er af operationel karakter, indregnes leasingydelserne i resultatopgørelsen over kontraktens løbetid.

Resultatopgørelsen

Nettoomsætning

Nettoomsætningen omfatter afsluttede og igangværende entreprisekontrakter, salg af udviklingsprojekter samt leverede varer og lejeindtægter.

Omsætning fra entreprisekontrakter, hvor der leveres aktiver eller anlæg med høj grad af individuel tilpasning til kunden, indregnes i resultatopgørelsen i takt med produktionens udførelse, hvorved nettoomsætningen svarer til salgsværdien af årets udførte arbejder (produktionsmetoden).

Nettoomsætning fra projektudviklingssager for egen regning indregnes efter salgsmetoden. Omsætningen og avancen på solgte projekter indregnes, når aflevering og risikoovergang til køber har fundet sted, og såfremt indtægten kan opgøres pålideligt og forventes modtaget.

Nettoomsætning vedrørende øvrige indtægter indregnes i resultatopgørelsen i takt med, at ydelsen leveres til køber, når indtægten kan opgøres pålideligt, og betaling er sandsynlig.

Nettoomsætningen måles eksklusive moms, afgifter og rabatter i forbindelse med salget.

Produktionsomkostninger

Produktionsomkostninger omfatter såvel direkte som indirekte omkostninger, der afholdes for at opnå årets nettoomsætning samt forventet tab på igangværende entreprisekontrakter.

Produktionsomkostninger består blandt andet af omkostninger til råvarer og hjælpematerialer, løn og gager samt af- og nedskrivninger mv.

Salgsomkostninger

Salgsomkostninger omfatter blandt andet tilbuds-, reklame- og markedsføringsomkostninger samt gager mv. til salgs- og marketingfunktioner.

Administrationsomkostninger

Administrationsomkostninger omfatter omkostninger til det administrative personale og ledelsen, herunder gager, kontoromkostninger og afskrivninger mv.

Koncernens andel af resultat efter skat i associerede virksomheder

I koncernens resultatopgørelse indregnes den forholdsmæssige andel af de associerede virksomheders resultat efter skat og eliminering af forholdsmæssig andel i intern fortjeneste/tab.

Finansielle indtægter og omkostninger

Finansielle indtægter og omkostninger omfatter renter, udbytte fra andre kapitalandele og realiserede samt urealiserede kursgevinster og -tab vedrørende værdipapirer, gæld og transaktioner i fremmed valuta samt finansielle omkostninger ved leasing og tillæg/godtgørelser angående selskabsskat.

Låneomkostninger der vedrører anskaffelse, opførelse eller udvikling af egenfremstillede kvalificerende aktiver henføres til kostprisen for sådanne aktiver.

I moderselskabet indregnes udbytte fra kapitalandele i dattervirksomheder, fælles ledede virksomheder og associerede virksomheder samt regulering af kapitalandele til genindvindingsværdi. Udbytte indtægtsføres i det regnskabsår, hvor det deklareres.

Skat

Årets skat, der består af aktuel skat og forskydning i udskudt skat, indregnes i resultatopgørelsen med den del, der kan henføres til årets resultat, og direkte i egenkapitalen med den del, der kan henføres til indtægter og omkostninger, der er indregnet direkte i egenkapitalen.

Den aktuelle skat omfatter såvel danske som udenlandske indkomstskatter samt regulering af skat vedrørende tidligere år.

Selskabet indgår i en dansk sambeskatning, hvor Højgaard Holding a/s er administrationsselskab.

Balancen

Immaterielle aktiver

Goodwill måles første gang til kostpris som beskrevet i afsnittet om virksomhedssammenslutninger.

Der afskrives ikke på goodwill. Den regnskabsmæssige værdi af goodwill vurderes minimum en gang årligt og nedskrives over resultatopgørelsen til genindvindingsværdi, såfremt denne er lavere end den regnskabsmæssige værdi.

Andre immaterielle aktiver måles til kostpris med fradrag af akkumulerede afog nedskrivninger. Afskrivninger foretages lineært over den forventede brugstid.

Afskrivningsperioden udgør sædvanligvis 5-10 år. Afskrivningsgrundlaget reduceres med eventuelle nedskrivninger.

Materielle aktiver

Materielle aktiver måles til kostpris med fradrag af akkumulerede af- og nedskrivninger.

Kostprisen omfatter anskaffelsesprisen samt omkostninger direkte tilknyttet anskaffelsen indtil det tidspunkt, hvor aktivet er klar til brug. For egen fremstillede aktiver omfatter kostprisen direkte og indirekte omkostninger til materialer, komponenter, underleverandører og lønforbrug samt låneomkostninger, der kan relateres til opførelsen af aktiverne.

Materielle aktiver afskrives lineært over den forventede brugstid til den forventede scrapværdi. Der foretages en individuel fastsættelse af større aktivers brugstid, mens brugstiden for øvrige aktiver fastsættes for grupper af ensartede aktiver.

Forventede brugstider:
Bygninger 10-50 år
Produktionsanlæg og maskiner 3-10 år
Andre anlæg, driftsmateriel og inventar 3-10 år
Indretning af lejede lokaler 3-10 år

Der afskrives ikke på grunde. Desuden afskrives ikke, hvis aktivets scrapværdi overstiger den regnskabsmæssige værdi. Scrapværdien fastsættes på anskaffelsestidspunktet og revurderes årligt.

Fortjeneste/tab ved salg af materielle aktiver indregnes i resultatopgørelsen under produktions- eller administrationsomkostninger og opgøres som forskellen mellem salgsprisen med fradrag af salgsomkostninger og den regnskabsmæssige værdi på salgstidspunktet.

Kapitalandele i associerede virksomheder i koncernregnskabet

I koncernen måles kapitalandele i associerede virksomheder efter den indre værdis metode. Dette betyder, at kapitalandele måles til den forholdsmæssige andel af virksomhedernes indre værdi, opgjort efter koncernens regnskabspraksis med fradrag eller tillæg af urealiseret koncernintern fortjeneste/tab.

Associerede virksomheder med negativ regnskabsmæssig indre værdi indregnes til nul. Såfremt koncernen har en retlig eller faktisk forpligtelse til at dække den associerede virksomheds underbalance, modregnes denne i koncernens tilgodehavender hos virksomheden. Et eventuelt resterende beløb indregnes under forpligtelser.

Kapitalandele i moderselskabets regnskab

I moderselskabet måles kapitalandele i dattervirksomheder, fælles ledede virksomheder og associerede virksomheder til kostpris. Der nedskrives til genindvindingsværdi, såfremt denne er lavere end den regnskabsmæssige værdi.

Dattervirksomheder, fælles ledede virksomheder og associerede virksomheder med negativ regnskabsmæssig værdi indregnes til nul. Hvis moderselskabet har en retlig eller faktisk forpligtelse til at dække virksomhedens underbalance, modregnes denne i moderselskabets tilgodehavender hos virksomheden. Et eventuelt resterende beløb indregnes under forpligtelser.

Øvrige finansielle aktiver

Andre langfristede tilgodehavender måles til amortiseret kostpris fratrukket tab ved værdiforringelse.

Værdiforringelse af langfristede aktiver

Den regnskabsmæssige værdi af immaterielle, materielle og finansielle aktiver vurderes minimum en gang årligt for at afgøre, om der er indikation af værdiforringelse. Hvis dette er tilfældet, vurderes aktivets genindvindingsværdi. Genindvindingsværdien af goodwill vurderes dog altid årligt.

Genindvindingsværdien er det højeste af et aktivs dagsværdi med fradrag af forventede afhændelsesomkostninger eller nytteværdi, som er den tilbagediskonterede værdi af de forventede fremtidige pengestrømme fra den pengestrømsfrembringende enhed.

Et tab ved værdiforringelse indregnes i resultatopgørelsen, når den regnskabsmæssige værdi af et aktiv eller en pengestrømsfrembringende enhed overstiger aktivets eller den pengestrømsfrembringende enheds genindvindingsværdi.

Nedskrivninger på goodwill tilbageføres ikke. Nedskrivninger på andre aktiver tilbageføres i det omfang, at der er sket ændringer i de forudsætninger og skøn, der førte til nedskrivningen.

1 Anvendt regnskabspraksis, fortsat

Varebeholdninger

Varebeholdninger måles til kostpris efter FIFO-metoden. Hvis nettorealisationsværdien er lavere end kostprisen, nedskrives til denne lavere værdi.

Kostpris for råvarer og hjælpematerialer omfatter anskaffelsespris med tillæg af hjemtagelsesomkostninger.

Ejendomme, igangværende projektudviklingssager og ubebyggede grunde, som ikke anses at være til vedvarende eje eller brug, opføres under ejendomme til videresalg og måles til kostpris eller nettorealisationsværdi, hvor denne er lavere.

Tilgodehavender

Tilgodehavender måles til amortiseret kostpris fratrukket tab ved værdiforringelse.

Igangværende entreprisekontrakter

Igangværende entreprisekontrakter måles til salgsværdien af det udførte arbejde. Entreprisekontrakter er kendetegnet ved, at de fremstillede aktiver eller anlæg fremstilles i henhold til kundens specifikationer og krav med hensyn til design og funktionalitet mv. Endvidere er der inden påbegyndelsen af arbejdet indgået bindende kontrakt, der medfører bod eller erstatning ved eventuel ophævelse.

Salgsværdien måles på baggrund af færdiggørelsesgraden på balancedagen og de samlede forventede indtægter på den enkelte entreprisekontrakt. Færdiggørelsesgraden fastsættes med udgangspunkt i de afholdte omkostninger og samlede forventede omkostninger.

Hvis det er sandsynligt, at de totale omkostninger vil overstige de totale indtægter på en igangværende entreprisekontrakt, indregnes det samlede forventede tab på entreprisen som en omkostning straks.

Når salgsværdien ikke kan opgøres pålideligt, indregnes salgsværdien til de medgåede omkostninger eller nettorealisationsværdien, hvis denne er lavere.

Den enkelte igangværende entreprisekontrakt indregnes i balancen under tilgodehavender eller kortfristede forpligtelser afhængig af nettoværdien af salgsværdien med fradrag af acontofaktureringer og indregnede tab.

Omkostninger i forbindelse med salgs- og tilbudsarbejde til opnåelse af kontrakter indregnes som en omkostning i resultatopgørelsen under salgsomkostninger i det regnskabsår, hvori de afholdes.

Periodeafgrænsningsposter

Periodeafgrænsningsposter kan enten indgå som et aktiv eller som et passiv under henholdsvis tilgodehavender og kortfristede forpligtelser. I periodeafgrænsningsposter indgår omkostninger eller indtægter, som er afholdt eller indgået i året vedrørende efterfølgende regnskabsår, bortset fra poster, som vedrører igangværende entreprisekontrakter.

Værdipapirer

Børsnoterede værdipapirer, opført under kortfristede aktiver, måles til dagsværdi på balancedagen. Ændringer i dagsværdien indregnes løbende i resultatopgørelsen under finansielle indtægter eller omkostninger.

Egenkapital

Udbytte

Foreslået udbytte indregnes som en forpligtelse på tidspunktet for vedtagelse på generalforsamlingen. Foreslået udbytte vises som en særskilt post under egenkapitalen.

Egne kapitalandele

Anskaffelses- og afståelsessummer samt udbytte for egne kapitalandele indregnes direkte på egenkapitalen.

Reserve for sikringstransaktioner

Reserve for sikringstransaktioner indeholder den akkumulerede nettoændring i dagsværdien af sikringstransaktioner, der opfylder kriterierne for sikring af fremtidige betalingsstrømme, og hvor den sikrede transaktion endnu ikke er realiseret.

Reserve for valutakursreguleringer

Reserve for valutakursreguleringer i koncernregnskabet omfatter kursdifferencer efter den 1. januar 2004, opstået ved omregning af regnskaber for udenlandske virksomheder fra deres funktionelle valuta til danske kroner samt kursregulering af mellemværende med udenlandske virksomheder, der anses for en del af koncernens samlede nettoinvestering i den pågældende virksomhed.

Ved hel eller delvis realisation af nettoinvesteringen indregnes valutakursreguleringerne i resultatopgørelsen.

Aktuel skat og udskudt skat

Aktuelle skatteforpligtelser og tilgodehavende aktuel skat indregnes i balancen som beregnet skat af årets skattepligtige indkomst, reguleret for betalte acontoskatter mv.

Udskudte skatteforpligtelser og udskudte skatteaktiver måles efter den balanceorienterede gældsmetode og omfatter samtlige midlertidige forskelle mellem regnskabs- og skattemæssige værdier af aktiver og forpligtelser. Der indregnes dog ikke udskudt skat af midlertidige forskelle vedrørende ikke-skattemæssigt afskrivningsberettiget goodwill og kontorejendomme. Ved opgørelsen tages udgangspunkt i den planlagte anvendelse af aktivet henholdsvis afviklingen af forpligtelsen og de hertil svarende skatteregler.

Der hensættes udskudt skat til dækning af genbeskatning af skattemæssige underskud i koncernens udenlandske dattervirksomheder, hvis afhændelse af kapitalandelene eller udtræden af den internationale sambeskatning i MT Højgaard koncernen vurderes at blive aktuel.

Udskudte skatteaktiver blandt andet fremførselsberettigede skattemæssige underskud indregnes med den værdi, hvortil de forventes at kunne realiseres. Det kan ske enten ved modregning i udskudte skatteforpligtelser eller ved udligning i skat af fremtidig indtjening i selskabet eller moderselskabet og de øvrige sambeskattede virksomheder i samme land. Udskudte skatteaktiver opføres på en særskilt linie under finansielle aktiver.

Udskudt skat måles på grundlag af de skatteregler og skattesatser, der ifølge lovgivningen er gældende i de respektive lande, når den udskudte skat forventes udløst som aktuel skat. Ved forskydning i udskudt skat, som følge af ændringer i skattesatser, indregnes virkningen i resultatopgørelsen, medmindre der er tale om poster, der tidligere er ført over egenkapitalen.

Pensionsforpligtelser

Koncernens pensionsordninger er forsikringsmæssigt afdækket (bidragsbaserede). Indbetalinger til bidragsbaserede pensionsordninger medtages i resultatopgørelsen i den periode, de vedrører, og eventuelle skyldige omkostninger medtages i balancen under anden gæld.

1 Anvendt regnskabspraksis, fortsat

Hensatte forpligtelser

Hensatte forpligtelser indregnes, når koncernen som følge af en tidligere begivenhed har en retlig eller faktisk forpligtelse, når det er sandsynligt, at indfrielse af forpligtelsen vil medføre et træk på virksomhedens økonomiske ressourcer, og når der kan foretages en pålidelig beløbsmæssig opgørelse af forpligtelsen.

Finansielle gældsforpligtelser

Gæld til kreditinstitutter mv. indregnes ved låneoptagelse til det modtagne provenu efter fradrag af afholdte transaktionsomkostninger. De finansielle gældsforpligtelser måles i de efterfølgende perioder til amortiseret kostpris svarende til den kapitaliserede værdi ved anvendelse af den effektive rente, således at forskellen mellem provenuet og den nominelle værdi indregnes i resultatopgørelsen over låneperioden.

Andre gældsforpligtelser, som omfatter gæld til leverandører, dattervirksomheder, fælles ledede virksomheder og associerede virksomheder samt anden gæld, måles til amortiseret kostpris.

Pengestrømsopgørelse

Pengestrømsopgørelsen viser koncernens pengestrømme opdelt på drifts-, investerings- og finansieringsaktivitet for året, samt hvorledes disse pengestrømme har påvirket koncernens likvider.

Likviditetsvirkningen af køb og salg af virksomheder vises separat under pengestrømme fra investeringsaktivitet. I pengestrømsopgørelsen indregnes pengestrømme af købte virksomheder fra købstidspunktet, og pengestrømme vedrørende solgte virksomheder indregnes frem til salgstidspunktet.

Pengestrømme til/fra driftsaktivitet

Pengestrømme fra driftsaktivitet opgøres efter den indirekte metode som resultat af primær drift reguleret for ikke-kontante driftsposter, ændringer i driftskapitalen samt finansielle poster og betalte selskabsskatter.

Pengestrømme til/fra investeringsaktivitet

Pengestrømme fra investeringsaktivitet omfatter betalinger i forbindelse med køb og salg af virksomheder og aktiviteter, immaterielle, materielle og finansielle aktiver samt køb og salg af værdipapirer, der ikke medregnes som likvider.

Pengestrømme til/fra finansieringsaktivitet

Pengestrømme til finansieringsaktivitet omfatter betalinger til og fra aktionærer inklusive betaling af udbytte samt optagelse af og afdrag på langfristet gæld.

Likviditet

Likviditet omfatter likvide beholdninger med fradrag af kortfristet gæld til kreditinstitutter mv.

Segmentoplysninger

Koncernens segmentoplysninger er baseret på koncernens ledelsesmæssige og interne økonomistyring og -rapportering, som er opdelt på aktiviteter. Driftssegmenter, som har ensartede økonomiske karakteristika, og hvor produkter/ydelser, kunder, fremstillings- og leveringsmetoder er ensartede aggregeres.

Segmentindtægter og -omkostninger omfatter de poster, der direkte kan henføres til det enkelte segment, og de poster som kan allokeres til det enkelte segment på et fornuftigt grundlag.

Segmentaktiver omfatter de langfristede og kortfristede aktiver, som anvendes direkte i segmentets drift.

Segmentforpligtelser omfatter de forpligtelser, der er afledt af segmentets drift.

Nøgletal

Nøgletal er udarbejdet i overensstemmelse med Den Danske Finansanalytikerforenings vejledning i nøgletalsberegning.

Ved opgørelsen af den regnskabsmæssige værdi af visse aktiver og forpligtelser kræves skøn over, hvorledes fremtidige begivenheder påvirker værdien af disse aktiver og forpligtelser på balancedagen.

De anvendte skøn er baseret på forudsætninger, som ledelsen vurderer er forsvarlige, men som i sagens natur er usikre og uforudsigelige. Forudsætningerne kan være ufuldstændige eller unøjagtige, og uventede begivenheder eller omstændigheder kan opstå. Endvidere er virksomheden underlagt risici og usikkerheder, som kan føre til, at de faktiske resultater afviger fra disse skøn. Særlige risici for Højgaard Holding koncernen er omtalt i note 29 om "Finansielle risici" og i afsnittet om "Risikofaktorer" på side 4.

Skøn væsentlige for regnskabsaflæggelsen vedrører hovedsageligt måling af salgsværdien af igangværende entreprisekontrakter, der blandt andet opgøres på baggrund af en forventning til restomkostninger og indtægter. Desuden vedrører det udfaldet af tvister ved krav om merydelser mv., der blandt andet opgøres ud fra forhandlingsstadet med modparten og en vurdering af sandsynligheden for udfaldet.

Ved nedskrivningstest af kapitalandele og goodwill anvender vi tillige skøn over, hvorledes de pågældende virksomheder eller dele af virksomheden, som goodwill knytter sig til, vil være i stand til at generere tilstrækkelig positive nettopengestrømme i fremtiden til at understøtte værdien af kapitalandelen eller goodwill, og øvrige nettoaktiver i den pågældende del af virksomheden. Dette er naturligt behæftet med en vis usikkerhed, hvilket afspejles i den valgte diskonteringsfaktor.

Anvendt regnskabspraksis

Ledelsen foretager som led i anvendelsen af koncernens regnskabspraksis vurderinger, ud over skønsmæssige vurderinger, som kan have væsentlig indvirkning på de i årsregnskabet indregnede beløb. De vurderinger, som har væsentligst indvirkning på de i årsregnskabet indregnede beløb, omfatter væsentligst igangværende entreprisekontrakter, og hvornår indtægter og omkostninger i henhold til kontrakt med tredjemand skal behandles i overensstemmelse med produktions- eller salgsmetoden.

Goodwill
Der er pr. 31. december 2009 gennemført værdiforringelsestest af den regnskabsmæssige værdi
af goodwill, der kan henføres til MT Højgaard koncernen. Ved vurderingen af genindvindingsværdien
er anvendt nytteværdien, der er beregnet som nutidsværdien af de fremtidige forventede
nettopengestrømme fra de pengestrømsfrembringende enheder. Ved testen pr. 31. december 2009
er nettopengestrømmene opgjort med udgangspunkt i godkendt budget for 2010 samt estimater for
årene 2011-2014. Væksten i terminalperioden er fastsat til 1 % (2008: 2,5 %). Ved beregningen af
nutidsværdien er benyttet en diskonteringsfaktor før skat på 11-12 % (2008: 10-12 %).
Værdiforringelsestesten har ikke givet anledning til nedskrivning af goodwill til genindvindingsværdi.
Ledelsen vurderer, at sandsynlige ændringer i de grundlæggende forudsætninger ikke vil medføre,
at den regnskabsmæssige værdi af goodwill vil overstige genindvindingsværdien.
Andre immaterielle aktiver
Andre immaterielle aktiver omfatter kundelister overtaget ved køb af virksomheder og aktiviteter.
Det er vurderet, at de aktiverede immaterielle aktiver har en begrænset brugstid.
Ledelsen har ikke identificeret faktorer, der indikerer, at der er behov for at gennemføre
værdiforringelsestest af andre immaterielle aktiver.

29 Finansielle risici

Koncernens aktiviteter udføres primært i MT Højgaard koncernen. De øvrige aktiviteter i Højgaard Holding koncernen indebærer kun beskedne finansielle risici.

Der er ingen væsentlige ændringer i koncernens risikoeksponering eller risikostyring sammenholdt med 2008.

MT Højgaard koncernen opretholder et samlet overblik over koncernens valutapositioner og rentefølsomhed med henblik på at begrænse valutakursrisiko og med henblik på at holde rentefølsomheden på et lavt niveau.

Valutarisici

Valutarisici er primært knyttet til MT Højgaard koncernen, hvor valutarisici styres centralt med henblik på at reducere påvirkningen af valutaudsving. På projekter søges risici minimeret ved at tilstræbe, at indtægts- og udgiftssiden er sammensat, så de balancerer valutamæssigt og ved anvendelse af valutaterminskontrakter.

Koncernens udenlandske virksomheder påvirkes ikke i betydelig grad af valutaudsving, idet såvel indtægter som omkostninger afregnes i de enkelte koncernvirksomheders funktionelle valuta.

I de tilfælde, hvor der opstår væsentlige valutapositioner for valutaer uden for euro-samarbejdet, sikres disse normalt med valutaterminsforretninger. Valutaeksponeringen knytter sig derfor væsentligst til værdien af udenlandske kapitalinteresser, som normalt ikke sikres.

Koncernen anvender primært valutaterminskontrakter til afdækning af kontraktuelle og budgetterede pengestrømme. Ændringer i værdien af afledte finansielle instrumenter indregnes løbende i resultatopgørelsen under produktionsomkostninger, da betingelserne for regnskabsmæssig behandling som sikringsinstrumenter ikke opfyldes. I koncernens resultatopgørelse udgør det indregnede beløb en udgift på 9,3 mio. DKK (i 2008 en indtægt på 6,8 mio. DKK).

De åbenstående valutaterminsforretninger pr. 31. december 2009 har en restløbetid på op til 5 år (2015).

Koncernens omsætning i udenlandsk valuta er i 2009 på 1,3 mia. DKK (2008: 1,2 mia. DKK), som primært er i euro.

Koncernens væsentligste valutaeksponering knytter sig primært til EUR, USD, GBP, NOK og SEK. 36

SEK/DKK, sandsynlig ændring af valutakurs 5% -3,6 -0,1
NOK/DKK, sandsynlig ændring af valutakurs 5% -223,9 -8,4
-100,7

Et fald i valutakurserne vil have en tilsvarende modsatrettet påvirkning på årets resultat og egenkapital.

Den angivne følsomhedsanalyse er opgjort på baggrund af de finansielle instrumenter, som er indregnet pr. 31. december 2009 og på baggrund af en forudsætning om uændret produktion/afsætning og prisniveau.

Renterisici

Renterisici kan hovedsageligt henføres til likvide beholdninger/værdipapirer og rentebærende gældsposter. De likvide beholdninger/værdipapirer udgør ultimo 2009 618,2 mio. DKK og er primært placeret på korte aftaleindskud og i obligationer med en varighed på under et år ved udgangen af 2009.

Koncernens rentebærende forpligtelser udgør ultimo 2009 71,3 mio. DKK, hvoraf 28 % er kortfristet låntagning. Den gennemsnitlige vægtede restløbetid på koncernens rentebærende gæld er på 5,0 år, og den vægtede gennemsnitlige effektive rente er på 4,2 %. Andelen af koncernens rentebærende gæld, som er fast forrentet, udgør 56 %.

Ændringer i dagsværdi: En stigning på 1 procentpoint i forhold til balancedagens renteniveau ville alt andet lige have haft en hypotetisk effekt på årets resultat og egenkapital pr. 31. december 2009 i koncernen med -2,8 mio. DKK (i 2008 -1,2 mio. DKK). Et fald i renteniveauet på 1 procentpoint ville have haft en tilsvarende modsatrettet effekt.

Ændringer i pengestrømme: En stigning på 1 procentpoint i forhold til årets realiserede renteniveau vedrørende koncernens variabelt forrentede likvider/værdipapirer og gæld ville alt andet lige have haft en hypotetisk positiv effekt på årets resultat og egenkapital pr. 31. december 2009 i koncernen med 1,7 mio. DKK (i 2008 1,2 mio. DKK). Et fald i renteniveauet på 1procentpoint ville have haft en tilsvarende modsattet effekt.

Kreditrisici

Kreditrisici styres generelt ved en løbende kreditvurdering af større kunder og samarbejdspartnere. Den maksimale kreditrisiko på tilgodehavender uden hensyntagen til modtaget sikkerhed svarer til de i balancen indregnede værdier. Koncernen har ingen væsentlige risici vedrørende en enkelt kunde eller samarbejdspartner.

Kreditrisikoen på andre modparter end banker vurderes at være begrænset, idet koncernen ved indgåelse af entreprisekontrakter med private bygherrer i væsentligt omfang kræver betalingssikkerhed i form af bank- og kautionsforsikringsgarantier eller lignende. De politiske kreditrisici ved udlandsarbejder afdækkes gennem eksportkreditforsikring efter vurdering.

Nedskrivning til imødegåelse af tab på tilgodehavender udgør derfor et uvæsentligt beløb og skyldes kunders konkurs eller forventede konkurs.

Preface and summary

2009 was a good year for MT Højgaard. For the third year running, we delivered profit before tax in excess of DKK 300 million. We have consequently made significant headway towards the achievement of our new ambitious vision from 2009 in which we strive to develop together with our customers and exceed the expectations made of us.

It is consequently also satisfying to note that we managed to raise our pre-tax margin to 3.4% in 2009, and that our financial performance was slightly ahead of expectations. These results were assisted by our firm focus on profitability, despite the low level of activity and increasing price competition in Denmark. Helping to address these challenges was our international business, which represents a growing proportion of our overall activities, accounting for approx. 33% in 2009 versus 28% in 2008. An area with further growth potential.

The subsidiaries also generally felt the sharpened competition as a result of the current economic climate. Notwithstanding this, all our companies delivered a profit in 2009, and Enemærke & Petersen and Greenland Contractors outperformed expectations.

As part of our wish to achieve our vision we have set ourselves a number of targets. These include being an attractive employer that can recruit the best talent and being recognised as a competent and professional business partner. By pursuing these targets we will take MT Højgaard to the next level in collaboration with and for the benefit of customers, employees and the business.

As a natural consequence of our strategy we have introduced a new organisational structure that provides a better platform for achieving our targets. The changes are intended to ensure that resources and skills are applied across organisation, geography and projects.

In 2009, we strengthened knowledge sharing internally by focusing on our culture, partly by creating more space for learning and by improving processes and systems. We introduced a new leadership model that all managers were trained and tested in, and we rolled out and tested new intelligent solutions that are able to measure, for example, humidity and temperature in buildings, thereby helping to maintain quality.

Focus areas in our dealings with our surroundings included efforts to reduce environmental impacts, to develop a concept for our customers that enables them to easily form an overview of the future energy consumption of their project and viewing it in relation to construction costs.

Focus areas in 2010 will include the development of our international business in Asia and the Middle East, the ongoing search for new and better solutions in collaboration with our customers, improving the skills of our employees still further through knowledge sharing and further training and education, and securing the delivery of quality, partly by achieving certification in this area. We will continue to strive to be the best in our industry in terms of our key competitive factors, and we will continue to do our best to meet customer wishes and expectations.

In summary, I look back on 2009 as a year characterised by a combination of internal change and a challenging external environment. Against that background, we did well in MT Højgaard, and, on behalf of MT Højgaard, I have every confidence in the future, in the knowledge that we are on the right track to achieve the new long-term targets we have set ourselves. MT Højgaard is in better shape than ever, and we are well positioned to make the most of the opportunities coming our way in the future.

I would like to thank all our employees for their dedication and commitment and our customers, business partners and other stakeholders for their excellent collaboration during this past year.

Kristian May President and CEO

Strategic platform

In recent years, we have been working on strengthening our:

  • strategic development in business areas and subsidiaries
  • synergy and collaboration

At the same time, we have improved the Group's foundation through a significantly tightened focus on profitability and risk. Specifically by further professionalising the frameworks for tendering, risk management and training and education; setting profitability requirements; and strengthening our business support functions.

In 2008, our pre-tax margin was 3.2%. This meant that the corporate target of a pre-tax margin of 2-2.5% by 2010 was met. It is satisfying to note that we succeeded in raising our pre-tax margin to 3.4% in 2009.

New ambitious vision and objectives

In 2009, we developed a new vision and new strategic objectives. These are intended to take us to the next level following on from recent years' positive development.

Our new vision is:

"We will outperform industry standards through innovation and operational excellence – together with our customers"

This means that it is our aim to be the company that sets new standards, develops even stronger skills, thinks outside the box and develops new solutions, where appropriate – while at the same time outperforming customer and market expectations. We have consequently set ourselves some ambitious targets:

  • Profitability to be among the most profitable building and civil engineering companies. Raising our pre-tax margin to 5% within a few years
  • Customer satisfaction to continue to be recognised as a competent and professional business partner. Achieving a customer satisfaction level of at least 80% in terms of selected criteria
  • Employee satisfaction to continue to be an attractive employer and to recruit, develop and retain the best talent. Achieving an employee satisfaction level of at least 80% in terms of selected criteria

We aim to achieve these targets by focusing on four selected strategic areas underpinning our new vision:

  • Internationalisation developing our existing international business and utilising skills both nationally and internationally
  • Competitive edge strengthening our competitive advantages, differentiating ourselves still further and putting ourselves even further ahead of the competition
  • Commercial excellence stepping up our efforts and focus in all core processes, ensuring that we make a positive difference for the benefit of both customers and ourselves
  • Infrastructure correct systems, appropriate structures and adequate support, providing the optimum platform for our business and sharpening our competitive edge

New values and culture

On a day-to-day basis, it is our culture and values that ensure that we are continuously striving to achieve our vision and objectives. We consequently identified three new core values in 2009 on which we have been working in the organisation through local and centralised activities under the slogan "Forward as one team". It means that all employees know where we are heading and what is required of them.

These values are:

  • collaboration
  • respect
  • professionalism

In 2009 140 managers completed a management development process consisting of three intensive modules focusing on the company's leadership model and future development. The aim was to strengthen our managers' role in the work on values and to ensure that our culture underpins our vision.

New organisational structure

We introduced a new organisational structure on 1 October 2009.

The new organisation is based on a wish to develop a new and better platform for achieving our strategic targets both nationally and internationally. The changes are intended to ensure that we utilise resources and skills across boundaries while at the same time contributing to ensuring that the right management principles are in place.

Major changes resulting from the new organisation include the following:

  • The construction activities of the former business areas Construction and International have been combined to form Construction
  • The former business areas Civil Works and International (excl. construction activities) have been combined to form Civil Engineering
  • Special projects have been combined in Major Projects
  • The former business unit Project Development has been established as a separate business area called Project Development
  • In future, the former business unit Design will be a business support function called Design & Engineering

In addition, a Leadership Team consisting of the Executive Board and the CHRO of HR and CSO for Business Development has been established. The reason for this is that the strategic and HR perspectives are key to our efforts to achieve our vision.

Subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are separate businesses with separately profiled capabilities, markets and strategies. The focal point for the MT Højgaard Group is value creation. We will create value in the way in which we develop our subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities by providing the optimum framework for each enterprise and ensuring that value creation works both ways in the relationship. All subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities work on the basis of long-term strategy plans.

Group annual review for 2009

Performance versus outlook

MT Højgaard delivered a satisfactory profit before tax of DKK 307 million in 2009 and a pre-tax margin of 3.4% versus 3.2% in 2008.

Profit was slightly ahead of expectations. This primarily reflected the fact that several large projects developed more positively than expected. In the 2008 annual report we stated that we expected revenue of approx. DKK 10 billion and a pre-tax margin between 2% and 3%. In the interim financial report at 31 August, this outlook was changed to revenue of approx. DKK 9 billion and a pre-tax margin of approx. 3%.

On 5 March 2010, we announced that revenue amounted to DKK 9,1 billion and profit before tax just over DKK 300 million, corresponding to a pre-tax margin of 3.4%.

Income statement

We delivered revenue of DKK 9,087 million in 2009, down 19% on last year due to the general economic downturn.

Revenue from international activities represented 28% of revenue in 2008 compared with 33% in 2009.

The MT Højgaard Group recorded operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 290 million in 2009, down DKK 37 million on 2008.

The operating margin (EBIT margin) was 3.2% in 2009, up from 2.9% in 2008.

Net financing costs amounted to net income of DKK 17 million compared with DKK 32 million in 2008. Net financing costs in 2009 were adversely impacted by a net loss on foreign exchange adjustments. Foreign exchange adjustments yielded a net gain in 2008.

The result before tax, a profit of DKK 307 million, was satisfactory and corresponded to a pre-tax margin of 3.4%, up from 3.2% in 2008. Profit before tax was down DKK 52 million or 14% on last year, and should be viewed in the context of the 19% decline in revenue.

Income tax expense was a net expense of DKK 84 million, providing an effective tax rate of 27% compared with 28% in 2008. The tax was made up of a current tax charge of DKK 58 million and a DKK 26 million change in the Group's deferred taxes. At the end of 2009, the Group's deferred net tax asset was DKK 113 million compared with DKK 140 million in 2008.

The consolidated result after tax was a profit of DKK 223 million compared with DKK 259 million in 2008.

On the Buxton project, there are no changes to report in relation to what was stated in the 2008 annual report. The claims for extra payments advanced by MT Højgaard are the subject of international arbitration. In accordance with the company's policy, no income has been recognised in the financial statements in this respect.

Balance sheet

The consolidated balance sheet total stood at DKK 5,504 million at 31 December 2009, up 4% on the end of 2008.

Equity stood at DKK 1,610 million. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 29.2% compared with 27.3% at the end of 2008. Besides profit for the year, equity was affected by the payment of DKK 50 million in dividend. The return on equity was 14.6%.

A dividend of DKK 50 million is proposed.

The interest-bearing net deposit increased by DKK 312 million in 2009, standing at DKK 824 million at the end of 2009. The increase primarily reflected positive cash flows from operating activities, which have been invested in interest-bearing securities.

Invested capital amounted to DKK 880 million at the end of 2009 compared with DKK 1,010 million in 2008, and the return on invested capital was 30.7%, in line with 2008.

Cash flows and financial resources

Operating cash flows benefited from a satisfactory development in operating profit and a continued positive cash flow from construction contracts in progress, and amounted to an inflow of DKK 485 million compared with DKK 536 million in 2008.

Investing activities absorbed DKK 521 million, of which DKK 362 million related to net investments in securities. Of the remaining DKK 159 million, company acquisitions accounted for DKK 16 million. Net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment amounted to DKK 143 million versus DKK 125 million in 2008 and related primarily to replacement of and new investment in contractors' plant and equipment.

Cash outflow from financing activities was DKK 69 million versus DKK 61 million last year. The amount related to distribution of dividend and reduction of non-current bank loans, etc.

INVESTED CAPITAL AND RETURN (ROIC)

CASH FLOWS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by DKK 105 million net in 2009 compared with a net increase of DKK 299 million in 2008. The net cash balance, calculated as cash less current portion of bank loans and similar, amounted to DKK 372 million compared with DKK 476 million at the end of 2008.

The Group's financial resources, calculated as cash, including cash and cash equivalents in joint ventures and jointly controlled entities, and securities and undrawn credit facilities, amounted to DKK 1,307 million at 31 December 2009 compared with DKK 1,141 million last year.

Order book

The order book stood at DKK 7,455 million at the end of 2009, approx. 21% down on last year. The quality of the order book is satisfactory.

DKK million 2009 2008
Order book, beginning of year 9,461 10,687
Order intake for the year 7,081 9,945
Production during year -9,087 - 11,171
Order book, end of year 7,455 9,461

The order book includes a number of large orders extending over several years.

As already announced in the first quarter of 2010, a DKK 965 million contract for offshore foundations in the UK has been signed and a contract for a waste water treatment plant in Bangladesh, where MT Højgaards share is DKK 313 million.

Acquisitions and disposals of enterprises

With the acquisition of the activities of mh Martin Hansen A/S on 1 May 2009, the subsidiary Lindpro strengthened its core capabilities and market coverage while at the same time gaining strong specialist skills in industry and automation. The acquisition of these activities comprises 90 employees.

The subsidiary Enemærke & Petersen strengthened its position in building maintenance by the acquisitions of Bode Byg A/S and Bode Byg Facade ApS on 1 October 2009. These companies jointly have 30 employees.

Furthermore, four non-active companies were wound up in 2009.

These factors did not have any material impact on consolidated revenue or profit in 2009.

Outlook for 2010

Overall, we expect the building and civil engineering market in Denmark in 2010 to be on a par with 2009. We estimate that approx. DKK 105 billion of the expected total market volume of approx. DKK 160 billion in the professional building and civil engineering market will lie within our sphere of interest.

We expect construction activities to remain under pressure in 2010, and expect the market to end the year at a level slightly below 2009.

ORDER BOOK AND ORDER INTAKE

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The refurbishment market, on the other hand, is showing a slightly upward trend, and we believe that 2010, too, will be characterised by a high level of activity in conversion and upgrading projects – especially in the public sector.

Competition in the civil engineering market in Denmark will remain fierce, although we expect to see more invitations to tender in 2010 than in 2009.

The utility services market experienced a distinct slowdown in 2009. It looks as if the market is still at a very low level in 2010 due to the energy companies' sharp reduction in the roll-out of the fibre optic network.

On the other hand, we believe that our international business will prosper in 2010, when we will be selectively picking the project opportunities that match our skills and resources. We are paying particular attention to foundations for offshore wind farms – an area in which we are among the most experienced in the world.

The order book stood at DKK 7.5 billion at the start of 2010, of which we expect to execute DKK 5.9 billion in 2010. The order book is approx. 21% down on the start of 2009, but the quality has been improved still further. We will continue to be highly selective when identifying new projects, focusing on the profitability of the projects within the framework of our risk management. We expect revenue for 2010 to amount to approx. DKK 9 billion, which means that, in relative terms, orders for execution in 2010 will be at the same level as at the start of 2009. We expect our international activities to account for a higher proportion of revenue than in 2009.

Selectivity, focusing and targeted risk management are the basic criteria for securing satisfactory earnings. Given the current economic climate, we do not expect to be able to deliver a financial performance in 2010 that quite matches 2009, despite ongoing alignment of costs to the level of activity in 2009.

We estimate that the Group's pre-tax margin for the year will be in the region of 2% to 3% compared with 3.4% in 2009, although at an expected lower level in the first quarter due to the hard winter.

We expect the Group's effective tax rate to be at a slightly higher level than the Danish tax rate.

We anticipate a cash inflow from operating activities again in 2010, although at a lower level than in 2009. We also expect to continue to maintain strong financial resources in the form of both cash, securities and credit facilities. Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment in 2010 will be significantly below the level in 2009.

The projections concerning future financial performance are subject to uncertainties and risks that may cause the performance to differ from the projections.

Management changes

At our Annual General Meeting on 17 April 2009 Helge Israelsen and Jens Jørgen Madsen joined the Supervisory Board as new members elected by the shareholders in general meeting. Hans-Henrik Hansen, Torsten Ask Overgaard and Knud Rasmussen joined as employee representatives.

Thorbjørn N. Rasmussen was appointed Vice President of our business area Civil Engineering on 1 October 2009 and will thus be part of the Executive Board under corporate law.

Knowledge and innovation

Innovation, quality assurance, problem solving and efficiency are some of the areas that are given pride of place in MT Højgaard. This requires high calibre employees and an organisation that focuses on knowledge sharing. This will help to make us the best in the areas that we have decided to excel in and that mean the most to our customers.

Employees

Globally, we had an average of 5,872 employees in 2009 compared with 6,170 in 2008. At the end of 2009, we had 5,833 employees. This is 318 fewer than at the same time last year.

Unlike previous years, the statement and comparative figures and the five-year summary include local employees on international projects.

Skills development boosts motivation

In 2009, we focused on the further training and education of our managers – a natural extension of MT Højgaard's new vision. A key element of this was the development of a new leadership model based on leadership and management. All managers were trained in the leadership model and the focus was on topics such as change management, leadership style and operationalisation of our new vision.

In 2009, many employees attended our internal MT Højgaard Academy project manager training. This training aims to give employees a number of tools they can use to guarantee uniform, professional management of projects, for example time planning and stakeholder and risk management. The training also works on attitudes, behaviour, processes and business skills.

During autumn 2009, we implemented a new course system that makes it possible for individual employees to draw up individual development plans and thus enhance their own skills. The course system gives us a clear overview of employees' and thus the company's skills, making it easier for us to deploy the correct team on a given task.

Roles and responsibilities were defined for all employees in the project organisation in 2009. The purpose of this was to guarantee transparency so that it is easy for employees to understand what is expected of them. This also provides a good basis for discussing future career development with each employee.

In the course of the coming year, we will be introducing supervisor training. One of the purposes of this is to give foremen and contract managers training that makes them even more skilled in their roles as supervisors. The training will consist of a wide range of subjects such as the change from tradesman to foreman, agreements and communications.

Knowledge sharing ensures quality

It must be easy for our employees to share and retrieve knowledge, so that they can offer our customers good advice and employ the most expedient methods in their work. Knowledge sharing is therefore constantly in the spotlight and a key factor in our corporate culture, which focuses on sharing positive experiences and preventing recurrence of any mistakes.

We therefore developed our integrated management system still further in 2009. The system describes the processes that must be implemented by the project organisation on a construction project – from sale through to handover, in the areas project management, financial management, quality management, environmental and occupational health and safety management, follow-up and TrimBuild®.

We are also developing a dedicated knowledge organisation, an essential focal point of which is knowledge ambassadors across the organisation. The role of knowledge ambassadors will be to gather and describe positive experiences or any mistakes that we should not repeat. They must also ensure that positive experiences are communicated to colleagues elsewhere across the organisation. These experiences will be described in a Knowledge Bank that will be rolled out in 2010.

In 2009, we implemented a new document management and archiving system. The system allows information sharing and collaboration across the organisation on files, documents, mails, pictures and drawings on a company-wide digital platform. In this manner, the system is a tool that improves the efficiency of and systematises our work processes.

Innovation differentiates us

We want to be in the lead when it comes to development in building and civil engineering. At the same time we want to excel in the areas that mean the most to our customers. To that end we need to constantly focus on developing new methods and products to enable us to meet customer wishes.

Sustainable building

Heating and power consumption in buildings alone account for 40% of energy consumption in Denmark. We have therefore chosen to be at the forefront of the development in energyoptimised building. In 2009, we developed a model called "the green barometer", which enables customers to form an easy overview of the future energy consumption of a building and viewing it in relation to the construction costs. By using this tool customers can determine the level of sustainability themselves.

We have the advantage of having consultancy, tendering and contracting activities under one roof. For sustainable building to be possible, all these specialised groups need to work closely together.

At the same time our efforts to achieve rights that entitle us to award our projects four of the most prominent labelling schemes available in sustainable building are in full swing. We have already obtained the right to award the certification Green Building, which was awarded to Ørstedskolen and KPMG's head office in the district of Frederiksberg, which we are currently in the process of building. It is our aim to obtain the right to award the remaining three certifications by the first half of 2010.

Intelligent solutions in building

The use of IT processes at offices and construction sites is everincreasing. In recent years, we have tested intelligent building elements that automatically measure humidity and temperature, for example. RFID, together with 3D models, is one of the new technologies that can ensure quality.

To get the full benefit from these technologies, integration barriers need to be removed through standardisation in the industry – so that relevant information is available to several partners on a building project. To that end we helped to create the technical basis in 2009 for the digitalisation of building in 2010 through the collaboration Digital Convergence.

Agricultural buildings

The large livestock and agricultural buildings of the future call for innovative and high-tech solutions, visionary concepts and the latest knowledge in agricultural building. We have specialised in this area and launched a range of concepts in 2009 that focus on the environment in livestock buildings for the benefit of both livestock, people and nature. We have many years' experience in the construction of agricultural buildings and we are drawing on that experience when we build for the agricultural sector.

At the end of 2009, we participated in the international agricultural trade fair "Agromek Husdyr" in Herning and in that connection won the "new product of the year" prize in livestock farming with a newly developed and patented environmental technology. The system creates a good environment in livestock buildings, both for the animals and for the people working in the buildings, but, above all, it enables the client to live up to the environmental authorities' tightened requirements concerning reduction of ammonia emissions to the surrounding nature.

BR08 stands for the Danish Building Regulations 2008

Corporate responsibility

Our ethical policy forms the overall framework for all our policies and consequently our activities.

This means that we are committed to acting in accordance with our ethical policy in relation to, for example, employees, economy, environment, occupational health and safety, customers, conduct in the market, competitors, business partners and suppliers. The policy states, among other things, that we must comply with local legislation, that we do not accept bribery, forced labour, child labour and discrimination.

Our ethical policy applies to all employees in MT Højgaard a/s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In continuation of this policy, we focus especially on the social issues where we can make a difference and where we believe that our actions will create the most value for society and ourselves.

In this section on corporate responsibility we have elected to explain our policy, efforts and performance in the areas:

  • environment
  • occupational health and safety

We have positions on other social issues where we do not carry out planning, measurement and follow-up to the same extent, however. For example, we have an ethical code of conduct for suppliers. Our performance in this area is described under the section Other initiatives. In addition, our subsidiaries work on corporate responsibility, taking into account each subsidiary's activities and skills.

Environment

Consideration for resources, health and the environment ranks equally in our projects with all other key requirements and wishes for the construction project. Construction and construction materials have extensive consequences for the environment. The many

different materials and components each have their own lifecycle, environmental impact, working environment and indoor climate. On completion of a project, construction produces large quantities of waste that must be disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner.

In 2009, we focused on formalising our processes at MT Højgaard so that we focus on reducing the company's impact on the environment both at construction sites and in offices.

Among other things, we are working on factors such as better sorting and recycling construction site waste as well as savings on water and power.

For example, we regularly install heat pumps in site huts. This measure will cut up to 80% of the huts' heat consumption and can reduce CO2 emissions by 1,700 tonnes of CO2 per year. By way of comparison, a Dane emits 10 tonnes of CO2 per year.

In 2009, we also began the introduction of:

  • motion sensors = annual saving of 141 tonnes of CO2
  • AutoPowerOff plug banks for all employees = annual saving of 69 tonnes of CO2
  • power measurements and energy management = annual saving of 132 tonnes of CO2
  • ban on halogen lighting = annual saving of 172 tonnes of CO2

We have also amended our agreements with our subcontractors so that we charge them for their power and water consumption and are thus able to contribute to reducing their CO2 emissions. This is expected to result in an annual saving of 266 tonnes of CO2.

The energy savings will only take effect when the activity has been fully implemented.

The activities will be measured annually via random checks.

Occupational health and safety

A good, safe working environment is essential to employees and their families and also for the financial results. A safe working environment is an important prerequisite for our ability to deploy the correct team on tasks and to win projects, as health and safety are often an important factor in the assessment of a project.

For several years, we have consequently been focusing on promoting employee safety and avoiding occupational injuries. This has resulted in fewer occupational injuries over the past five years.

Among other things, we have formalised training, information and instruction, so that employees can do their jobs safely.

Every year, we issue a folder to all employees describing our health and safety targets, what is expected of them as employees in relation to health and safety and how they should react in the event of an accident. The folder is reviewed at each construction site, where employees must consider how to contribute to achieving the target for the year. All new employees are given a health and safety induction via a film.

We also make inspection visits to individual workplaces. To ensure that we continuously improve our health and safety performance, a certification body measures our health and safety performance and awards us certification. In Denmark, they visit selected construction sites every six months and the rest of the certified area once a year.

We also map health and safety regularly and conduct systematic risk assessments of our activities. In addition, we carry out systematised follow-up of every occupational injury, near miss or any improvement notices from public authorities, both by completing a report and subsequently visiting the site with an information meeting for employees on the site at which we focus on preventing recurrence.

In 2009, we achieved our target of fewer than 25 occupational injuries in Denmark per one million hours worked, with an injury frequency rate of 21.5. This is a significant improvement on last year, and reflects previous years' targeted efforts and attitude shaping in relation to occupational health and safety.

We expect to continue this positive trend by reducing our injury frequency rate still further. Focus areas in 2010 will include injuries involving one to four days' lost time and giving new employees a basic induction course.

Other initiatives – Ethical code of conduct for suppliers We use a number of suppliers in Denmark, the rest of Europe and China. When we conclude a group agreement with a new supplier of construction materials, the supplier signs to confirm that he complies with national legislation and regulations and meets specific requirements concerning quality, health and safety and the environment.

From 2010, we will be conducting an annual audit of Danish suppliers. Audits previously took place via random checks. The focus will be on quality assurance and on ensuring that suppliers have their certification in order.

Our assessment is that the greatest risk of ethical policy being breached is in China. We have consequently decided to escalate audits and check all suppliers when we start a new partnership – typically in connection with the production of the first order. On the basis of this check, we decide what measures are required in the collaboration and whether follow-up checks will be required. An external body carries out anonymous, impartial checks on employees' ages and pay conditions.

In the event of non-compliance with our minimum standards, we reserve the right to end the business relationship.

Risk factors

Commercial risks

MT Højgaard's activities entail various commercial and financial risks that may affect the Group's development, financial position and operations.

We consider it a critical part of our strategy to constantly minimise the current risks, which, in our opinion, do not generally differ from the normal risks facing companies in the building and civil engineering industry.

The overall framework for managing the risks we judge to be critical for the Group is laid down in the business concept and the associated policies.

We endeavour to cover, to the greatest possible extent, significant risks outside our direct control by taking out relevant insurance policies.

Market conditions

Market conditions have a major impact on the building and civil engineering industry, and the building sector is periodically used as a regulating factor in fiscal policy. Fiscal policy initiatives may include both tightening and expansionary measures in the form of subsidy schemes and grants.

Our position in the Danish market, coupled with our spread on markets, customers and areas of expertise, helps to balance risks under fluctuating market conditions.

Market trends in the various business areas often differ under varying economic framework conditions.

Projects

Our project management is crucial to ensure satisfactory value creation in the company. Our integrated management system features all the procedures and paradigms that our employees require to enable them to handle each project from sale and tendering to handover to the client. Prior to bidding for major projects, we carry out a systematic, structured review of the project to ensure that risk areas are identified and unforeseen events minimised.

Process management during the construction phase is paramount to ensure that building site activities are efficiently coordinated and optimised. We often use the TrimBuild® project management tool on our projects to enhance quality and productivity, reducing the risk of delays and budget overruns on individual projects.

Partnering is a form of collaboration under which a larger part of the responsibility lies with the contractor through his participation in design and planning. This concept is becoming increasingly popular and enhances the possibilities for optimising risk identification on the individual project.

On major projects, we often use joint venture collaboration as a further means of minimising risks.

We provide standard performance and payment bonds in the form of bank guarantees, guarantee insurances and bond deposits as security for contracts and supplies. Performance and payment bonds, etc., totalled DKK 3,385 million at the end of 2009 compared with DKK 3,506 million in 2008.

Project development

The risk attaching to this activity relates primarily to the development in the market for residential construction and the extent to which dwellings sell prior to start-up of each project.

The start-up of self-generated projects is subject to advance sale of at least 75% to 80% of the project. When starting up several projects at the same time, we focus on balancing the overall risk.

Financial risks

Financial risks are described in note 26 to the financial statements.

Operating review for 2009

We work exclusively in building and civil engineering.

At 31 December 2009, the Group was organised into five business areas, the separate subsidiaries and the Group's corporate functions, Business Support.

Subsidiaries comprise the Group's subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities with separately profiled capabilities in the building and civil engineering business.

MT Højgaard delivered revenue of DKK 9,087 million in 2009, down DKK 2,084 million on 2008. Revenue can be broken down by activity as shown below.

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering undertakes infrastructure and civil engineering projects in Denmark and internationally. Specialist skills include pile-driving, earthworks, sewerage works, environmental projects, harbour and marine works, offshore wind farm foundations, and bridges.

The civil engineering market in Denmark was characterised by cut-throat competition in 2009. We generally saw fewer invitations to tender, more companies bidding for projects, and a downward trend in prices.

The cut-throat competition is persisting in 2010. However, we expect an increase in the number of projects put out to tender. The slowdown we have seen in the commercial market will continue. The number of public tenders will increase, on the other hand. Particular focus will be on infrastructure projects such as motorways, bridges and railway maintenance.

In the offshore sector in 2009, we saw a general slowdown in wind turbine projects on account of difficult financing conditions. However, we implemented the projects we had expected to implement. We anticipate no further slowdown in this sector in 2010, instead we expect the current level to be maintained and raised in the long term.

Going forward, we expect a good market for our mining department in Greenland. This remains a new market for us, and our investments are long-term. We expect 2010 to be exciting as decisions will be made on whether customers' preliminary investigations will result in profitable mining and thus projects.

We also carry out a variety of traditional civil engineering projects such as bridges, motorways and harbours abroad. In 2009, these included a number of exciting harbour projects in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. At the start of 2010, we will be completing a water supply renovation project in Kandy in southern Sri Lanka sponsored by Danida, which will result in 350,000 people in the local area having access to clean drinking water.

In Sweden, we also met a number of interesting engineering challenges in connection with a new railway bridge in Södertälje. With very little space available, a 420-tonne steel bridge was shipped in and lifted into place in the course of 24 hours.

In general, the Civil Engineering business area ended 2009 with a good result, ahead of expectations. However, the result conceals fluctuations in the various areas. The Danish part of the business area, in particular, felt the stiffer competition in 2009. The expectations for 2010 are that it will be another hard year in the Danish market. On the other hand, we anticipate continued good activity abroad and that we will therefore enjoy a slightly higher level of activity in 2010, overall.

In the coming year, the focus will be especially on projects in Asia and the Middle East. We can already see that there will be a number of interesting invitations to tender there. Tenders won in 2009 included a bridge project in Vietnam, RAO2, construction of which will commence in 2010.

Construction

In Construction, we work on construction projects in both Denmark and the North Atlantic region. Our capabilities range from residential and commercial construction, through institution and school construction, to all forms of refurbishment projects.

The construction and refurbishment market generally contracted in 2009. The decline in the market was very obvious in the residential market, which saw virtually no activity in the past year. However, the market development showed some geographical variation and in some local areas we experienced an increase in the level of activity.

The commercial market was generally hit hard, but here, too, we saw a positive trend in some areas. Projects in 2009 included the development of a new head office for Vestas, the work on the extension of DONG Energy's office in Gentofte, and the startup of construction of KPMG's new headquarters at Flintholm Station in the district of Frederiksberg.

In some geographical areas, growth in the public sector market made up for the lack of growth in the residential market. The refurbishment market fell back slightly, but not nearly as much as the other markets. This trend looks set to continue in the coming year.

Despite a general downturn in the construction and refurbishment market, our performance was satisfactory, accentuating the fact that our ability to manage projects is continuously improving.

In the last part of the year, we saw an increase in interest in Public Private Partnership projects (PPP) from, for example, the Danish Palaces and Properties Agency, for which several projects are in the planning phase. We consequently expect that this area will grow in 2010. In 2009, we handed over the Danish Land Registry PPP project in Hobro and commenced work on Ørstedskolen on Funen, which is scheduled for completion in 2010.

In 2009, our focus included constantly expanding our local presence. The projects put out to tender are often very locally rooted. We have therefore opened new local offices in Randers and Sakskøbing. For many years, we have had activities in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and we will be setting up a proper local office in each country in 2010.

In 2010, we expect the construction market to remain under pressure and to end at a level slightly below the 2009 level.

Major Projects

Major Projects takes care of our large projects. These currently include a hydropower project in Panama, which is being carried out in a joint venture, and tendering for other large projects starting up in 2011.

The Panama project includes the planned construction in 2010 of a concrete dam and the completion of a power station and other construction works in the lead up to final completion of the project at the start of 2011.

Projects are defined as Major Projects based on the criteria: economy, complexity, time and risk.

Project Development

Project Development develops projects for or together with investors and clients.

The year was characterised by a hesitant market with several projects at the planning stage that have yet to be realised. This includes the start-up of new residential projects, with the oversupply in Copenhagen still being a challenge. However, we expect project development to pick up again elsewhere in Denmark in 2010, particularly small residential projects. Among other things, we have a large portfolio of attractive sites outside Copenhagen, where we are not experiencing the same oversupply.

The oversupply in Copenhagen has also meant that we did not sell the expected number of dwellings in Copenhagen. This has been overcome by temporary rental, with an option to buy in some cases.

In addition, in 2009 we secured access to attractive new sites, optimised the planning basis on our existing portfolio of sites and developed projects within the retail sector. As part of a major urban development project, we also started up a 32,000-square metre construction project in Frederiksberg. This will be the headquarters of KPMG.

The expectations for 2010 are that it will be another difficult year, but that we will see a slight improvement on 2009, especially in the retail sector and small residential construction projects.

Utility Services

Utility Services undertakes all forms of assignments within water supply, power supply, district heating supply, gas supply, sewers and fibre optic network.

The utility services market experienced a sharp slowdown in 2009 that happened far more quickly than anticipated. The main reason for this was the sharp reduction in the energy companies' roll-out of the fibre optic network. The slowdown also affected us, and meant that we have had to align our capacity to the market.

The sharp slowdown contributed to the highly unsatisfactory financial performance.

We expect a low level of activity in this area in 2010.

Subsidiaries

Our subsidiaries comprise Ajos a/s, Enemærke & Petersen a/s, Lindpro a/s, Promecon a/s, Scandi Byg a/s, Timbra a/s and the jointly controlled entities Seth S.A. and Greenland Contractors I/S.

Ajos a/s

Ajos hires out, installs, maintains and dismantles equipment, including cranes, hoists, platforms, site huts, contractors' machinery and technical installations.

The equipment hire sector was marred by cut-throat competition in 2009, with fewer projects and falling prices. Despite showing a profit, Ajos did not meet expectations in 2009.

Ajos is working on winning and maintaining market shares by creating more overall solutions for customers in a targeted manner. In 2009, Ajos worked on a project with Rambøll and Lejerbo to develop complete site set-up solutions. Ajos was in charge of and responsible for fitting out the construction site. Ajos is counting on other customers benefiting from this concept in 2010.

In 2009, Ajos worked on sustainability in construction processes. The aim is to guarantee energy-efficient solutions in the operation of construction sites. For example, heat pumps are installed in site huts and containers. This has a great effect on both the indoor climate and power consumption.

Ajos has long been a major player in the crane sector, in particular. In 2009, Ajos acquired Cramo's 24 tower and semi-mobile cranes, significantly strengthening the company's position in the market. The acquisition of Cramo's cranes gives Ajos even greater opportunity to be involved in the early phase of future construction and refurbishment projects.

On the basis of the current market situation, we expect the level of activity in 2010 to be on a par with 2009.

Enemærke & Petersen a/s

Enemærke & Petersen constructs new buildings, and performs restoration, refurbishment and building maintenance. The company concentrates on housing, schools, institutions and commercial buildings.

The falling level of activity in the construction sector has meant that Enemærke & Petersen's level of activity in 2009 was slightly down on 2008. This was particularly due to the company's projects primarily being won through invitations to tender, where competition was particularly fierce. Despite the lower level of activity, the company outperformed expectations.

In 2009, Enemærke & Petersen increased production of semimanufactured elements for facades. This boosted the company's in-house production, and the company expects this to be an area that will be developed still further in 2010.

In addition, Enemærke & Petersen focused on improving its dialogue with customers. All employees consequently participated in a number of workshops with the focus on giving customers a better experience. The project resulted in considerably higher customer satisfaction.

Based on a satisfactory order book, the level of activity in 2010 is expected to be in line with 2009.

Lindpro a/s

Lindpro is one of Denmark's largest electrical installations businesses with departments across Denmark and the subsidiary Arssarnerit in Greenland. Its core activity is electrical installations, but its capabilities also include security, intelligent building installations, service, traffic, industrial systems, offshore, automation, telecoms, plumbing and heating and electromechanics.

The electrical installations market was under pressure in 2009, and the pressure was also felt by Lindpro. However, although the market is difficult, and earnings under pressure, Lindpro ended the year with a higher market share and sound earnings.

The subsidiary Arssarnerit in Greenland is developing well and reported a good result in 2009. There are positive expectations of the subsidiary in 2010, when the favourable position in the electrical installations market in Greenland is expected to be reinforced.

Lindpro's objective for 2010 is to maintain a sound, well-run business with the focus on profitable growth and skills development.

The company focuses on and will continue to focus on enhancing the efficiency of its business. The traditional electrical installations business is an important core area that offers great scope for further development. Service, security and intelligent building installations are areas with potential for growth.

In 2009, Lindpro made minor acquisitions in order to strengthen its skills and geographical coverage.

We expect the market to remain under pressure in 2010 and a level of activity on a par with 2009.

Promecon a/s

Promecon delivers steelwork and piping solutions within oil and gas and energy. Among other things, the company designs and installs structural steel, piping and tanks, and services and maintains process plant.

A drastic fall in energy, oil and gas prices has led to a lower propensity to invest in the market and thus few orders.

Despite showing a profit in 2009, Promecon did not quite meet expectations. In 2009, Promecon enjoyed a high level of activity, primarily because the company had a considerable volume of orders from previous years.

The company aligned its level of activity during the year and reduced staff levels.

As a result of the lack of desire to invest in the market, Promecon expects considerably lower revenue in 2010 than in 2009.

Scandi Byg a/s

Scandi Byg specialises in the manufacture and sale of prefabricated modular buildings for applications such as residential buildings, offices, institutions and schools.

Compared with the record year 2008, Scandi Byg experienced a considerable decline in the level of activity in 2009, and consequently lower results. This typified the market in general. The year ended on a good note with an improving order book, and a number of exciting projects are ready for start-up in 2010.

For example, the company has signed a large framework agreement with KAB for the construction of between 500 and 800 dwellings based on the KAB non-profit housing concept (AlmenBolig+koncept) over a period of three to four years. A contract with Novo Nordisk has also boosted the level of activity at the start of 2010.

One of Scandi Byg's focus areas in 2010 will be the establishment of a sustainable profile. The company expects to be able to put itself in the lead in this area based on its existing production platform.

2009 was a year in which Scandi Byg developed its business and optimised its organisation by adding skills that will help to secure continued good results in the future. For example, these initiatives are expected to contribute to a doubling of revenue already in 2010 compared with 2009.

Timbra a/s

The joinery/carpentry company Timbra has capabilities in the areas new building, refurbishment, fitting-out and service.

Timbra was established at the start of 2009 by the hiving off of the joinery/carpentry unit in Copenhagen from MT Højgaard a/s. In a market under pressure, Timbra managed to deliver a positive result, which, however, did not match expectations.

In 2009, in collaboration with MT Højgaard, Timbra developed Genus Glass Walls, which are manufactured in Denmark based on procurement in China. Genus Glass Walls are a future action area for the company and projects on which these have been used include Roskilde Town Hall. The product matches the market's expectations, giving Timbra a competitive edge. Other focus areas are mono acoustic ceilings (spray-rendered ceilings), which the company is certified to perform.

The order book for 2010 is better than at the start of 2009, and Timbra expects a higher level of activity in 2010 than in 2009.

Jointly controlled entities

Greenland Contractors I/S (67%)

Greenland Contractors carries out building projects and maintenance and service tasks at Thule Air Base for the US Air Force. While the US Air Force is the company's principal client, the company also undertakes assignments for the Greenland authorities, private companies and organisations.

Revenue and earnings for 2009 outperformed expectations. We expect revenue for 2010 on a par with 2009.

Seth S.A. (60%)

Seth specialises in harbour and marine works and operates in the Portuguese market, including on the Azores, and in Africa.

In 2009, Seth felt the stagnation that has marred the Portuguese market. At the same time, some of the company's large projects in Africa have been postponed. Overall – despite a positive result – these factors led to significantly lower revenue and results than in 2008.

Seth's market is expected to remain under pressure in 2010, but revenue are expected to exceed the 2009 level.

Business support

Business support comprises the company's corporate functions, which are responsible for ensuring operation and development.

Design & Engineering was previously a business unit. In connection with our new strategy this function has become part of business support. Design & Engineering undertakes design and engineering and its services include consultancy in the environmental area.

To professionalise our administrative functions in connection with the operation of our fixed asset properties, we have combined our various local service functions in a new function called Facility Management. This facility will be operating and optimising maintenance of all our properties and leases, including canteens, cleaning services, call centre, security, reception, office machinery, reprographics and physical safety.

All the company's PCs were replaced in 2009. At the same time we implemented Windows 7 and the latest version of other user software. The purpose of this upgrade was to improve MT Højgaard's performance still further through the latest software, faster troubleshooting and faster response times.

In 2009, we completed the research project "Best Practice – in the management of building and civil engineering projects". The project identified what is required in project management terms to create a good working environment and improving working conditions for tradesmen at our building sites. 13 building and civil engineering projects with positive outcomes in terms of health and safety, economy, quality and process flow were analysed. The result was seven recommendations that can be applied to any building and civil engineering project.

We have had a purchasing office in China since 2007. In connection with our increased focus on internationalisation, it became even more relevant for us to draw on the competitive advantage that purchasing materials in the Chinese market gives us.

Corporate governance

MT Højgaard is not listed, but is owned by Højgaard Holding a/s (54%) and Monberg & Thorsen A/S (46%), both of which are listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen. MT Højgaard's annual report consequently does not include a separate section on Corporate Governance. Reference is made to the respective owner companies' annual reports for details of each company's Corporate Governance principles.

In the following, we have chosen to give an account of the key elements of the Group's internal control and risk management systems in connection with the financial reporting process in accordance with the requirements set out in the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Financial reporting process

Introduction

The Group's accounting and control systems are designed to ensure that internal and external financial reporting gives a true and fair view without material misstatement and to ensure that appropriate accounting policies are defined and applied.

The Group's accounting and control systems can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material errors and omissions in the financial reporting.

The Supervisory Board and Executive Board regularly evaluate material risks and internal controls in connection with the Group's activities, and their potential impact on the financial reporting process.

Control environment

We consider that management's approach is fundamental for good risk management and internal control in connection with the financial reporting process. The Supervisory Board's and Executive Board's approach to good risk management and internal control in connection with the financial reporting process are consequently constantly being strongly emphasised.

The Executive Board is responsible for ensuring that MT Højgaard's control environment provides a proper basis for the preparation of the financial reporting. Managers at various levels are responsible in their respective areas.

The Supervisory Board and Executive Board have defined targets that are incorporated in values, strategies and business plans. Policies, procedures and controls have been established in key areas in connection with the financial reporting process. The basis for this is a clear organisational structure, clear reporting lines, authorisation and approval procedures, and segregation of duties.

Risk assessment

There is a relatively larger risk of errors in the items in the financial statements that are based on estimates or are generated through complex processes than for other items. A risk assessment, with the aim of identifying these items and the extent of the associated risks, is coordinated by the Executive Board.

As a building and civil engineering group the principal risks are in the contracting and performance phases of our projects.

Control activities

The purpose of the control activities is to prevent, detect and correct any errors or irregularities and to ensure that estimates made are reasonable in the circumstances.

The activities form an integral part of MT Højgaard's intergrated management system, financial reporting manual and procedures. These include approval procedures for contracting of new projects that ensure initial risk assessment and management involvement at various levels, depending on project size. Procedures are also in place for monthly reviews with the responsible management at overall level, including of the risk assessment on the project and of project stage based on updated accounting records and updated expectations concerning remaining production. Lastly, procedures are in place for verifications, authotisations, approvals, reconciliations, analyses of results, IT application controls, and general IT controls.

Information and communications

We maintain internal information and communications systems to ensure that the financial reporting is correct and complete within the context of the confidentiality prescribed for listed companies. The intergrated management system, the financial reporting manual and other reporting instructions are regularly updated, as appropriate. Changes in policies and accounting procedures are disclosed and explained on an ongoing basis.

Monitoring

The Supervisory Board monitors the financial reporting on an ongoing basis, including that applicable legislation is being complied with, that the accounting policies are relevant, the manner in which material and exceptional items and estimates are accounted for, and the overall disclosure level in MT Højgaard's financial reporting.

We use comprehensive financial, reporting and control systems to monitor the Group's activities, enabling us to detect and correct any errors or irregularities in the financial reporting at an early stage. This includes any weaknesses detected in internal controls or non-compliance with procedures and policies.

The Group applies uniform IFRS rules as set out in the company's financial reporting manual. The manual includes accounting and assessment principles as well as reporting instructions, and must be complied with by all companies in the Group. The manual is updated and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Compliance with the manual is monitored at corporate level. Formal confirmations of compliance with the manual and relevant corporate policies, so-called representation letters, are obtained from all subsidiaries annually.

All consolidated enterprises report detailed monthly accounting data. These financial data are analysed and monitored at corporate and other operational levels.

Management statement and Independent auditors' report

Statement by the Executive and Supervisory Boards

The Executive and Supervisory Boards have today discussed and approved the annual report of MT Højgaard a/s for the financial year 2009.

The annual report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 31 December 2009 and of the results of the Group's and the parent company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2009.

Further, in our opinion, the Management's review gives a fair review of the development in the Group's and the parent company's operations and financial matters, the results for the year and the Group's and the parent company's financial position and a description of the significant risks and uncertainty factors pertaining to the Group and the parent company.

We recommend that the annual report be approved at the Annual General Meeting.

Independent auditors' report

To the shareholders of MT Højgaard a/s

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of MT Højgaard a/s for the financial year 2009, pages 25 – 70. The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements comprise income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes for the Group as well as for the parent company. The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements.

In addition to our audit, we have read the Management's review, pages 1 – 18, which has been prepared in accordance with Danish disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements, and issued a statement in this regard.

Management's responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Further, it is the responsibility of Management to prepare and issue a Management's review that gives a fair review in accordance with Danish disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements.

Auditors' responsibility and basis of opinion

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Danish Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including

the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Our audit did not result in any qualification.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the parent company's financial position at 31 December 2009 and of the results of the Group's and the parent company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2009 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements.

Statement on the Management's review

Pursuant to the Danish Financial Statements Act, we have read the Management's review. We have not performed any other procedures in addition to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements. On this basis, it is our opinion that the information given in the Management's review is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements.

Note
1 A ccounting policies
The Group's and the parent company's annual report has been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements
for annual reports, cf. the statutory order on the adoption of IFRS issued pursuant to the Danish Financial
Statements Act.
In addition, the annual report has been prepared in compliance with IFRS issued by the IASB.
The annual report is presented in Danish kroner.
The accounting policies are unchanged from those set out in the 2008 annual report, apart from the
effects of the factors set out in the following.
The following have been implemented with effect from 1 January 2009: IAS 1 (revised 2007) Presentation
of Financial Statements, IAS 23 (revised 2007) Borrowing Costs, IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Vesting
Conditions and Cancellations, Amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1: Puttable Financial Instruments and
Obligations Arising on Liquidation, Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 27: Cost of an Investment in a Subsidi
ary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate, Amendment to IFRS 7: Improving Disclosures about Financial
Instruments, parts of Improvements to IFRSs May 2008, which became effective on 1 January 2009, and
IFRICs 13, 15 and 16. IFRICs 15 and 16 have been adopted with different effective dates in the EU than
the corresponding IFRICs as issued by the IASB. IFRICs 15 and 16 were implemented on 1 January 2009,
in accordance with the IASB effective dates.
IAS 1 changes the presentation of the primary statements and some note disclosures. Apart from this, the
new accounting standards and interpretations have not had any effect on recognition and measurement
in 2009.
In addition, the amended IAS 27: Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associ
ate, which has been implemented from 1 January 2009, has resulted in a changed recognition of dividends
in the parent company financial statements in that dividends from subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities
and associates must always be recognised in the income statement and must not be offset against cost,
even though distribution originates from results relating to the period prior to the acquisition date.
The presentation in the income statement of derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange
contracts and similar instruments to hedge financial risks arising from operating activities has been
changed. Gains and losses on these instruments are now recognised in production costs, whereas they
were previously recognised as financial income and expenses. Comparative figures have been restated.
Basis of reporting
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the parent company MT Højgaard a/s and subsidiaries
in which the Group holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or which it controls
in some other way.

Note 1 Accounting policies (continued) Other enterprises in which the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and over which it has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for as associates. These enterprises are not consolidated; however, enterprises controlled jointly by MT Højgaard a/s and one or more other enterprises are recognised in the consolidated financial statements using proportionate consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the parent company's and the individual enterprises' audited financial statements determined in accordance with the MT Højgaard Group's accounting policies. On consolidation, identical items are aggregated and intragroup income and expenses, shareholdings, balances and dividends are eliminated. Unrealised gains and losses arising from intragroup transactions are also eliminated. Newly acquired or newly formed enterprises are recognised in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or formation. Enterprises disposed of are recognised in the consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal. Comparative figures are not restated for newly acquired enterprises or enterprises disposed of. Gains and losses on disposal of subsidiaries and associates are reported by deducting from the proceeds on disposal the carrying amount of net assets including goodwill at the date of disposal and related selling expenses. Presentation of discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of an entity the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity and that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and expected to be disposed of within one year according to a formal plan. Post-tax profit and value adjustments of discontinued operations and operations classified as held for sale are presented as a separate line item in the income statement with comparative figures. Revenue, expenses and tax of discontinued operations are disclosed in the notes. Assets and related liabilities are reported as separate line items in the balance sheet. The cash flows attributable to the operating, investing and financing activities of discontinued operations are disclosed in a note. Business combinations Acquisitions of enterprises over which the parent company obtains control are accounted for applying the purchase method. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Identifiable intangible assets are recognised if they are separable or arise from a contractual right and the fair value can be measured reliably. The tax effect of the restatements performed is taken into account.

Note 1 Accounting policies (continued) On recognition of foreign subsidiaries and associates the income statement items determined in the individual enterprises' functional currencies are translated into Danish kroner at average exchange rates that do not deviate significantly from the exchange rates at the transaction date, while the balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation of the opening equity of foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and on translation of the income statement items from average exchange rates to the exchange rates at the balance sheet date are taken directly to a separate translation reserve under equity. In the consolidated financial statements, foreign exchange adjustments of balances with foreign entities that are accounted for as part of the overall net investment in the entity in question are taken directly to a separate translation reserve under equity. On acquisition or disposal of foreign entities, their assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the acquisition date or the date of disposal. Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts and similar instruments to hedge financial risks arising from operating activities. For derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement as production costs as they occur. For derivative financial instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, changes in fair value are recognised in equity as they occur. Income and expenses relating to such hedging transactions are transferred from equity on realisation of the hedged item and recognised in the same item as the hedged item. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially in the balance sheet at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Gains and losses on remeasurement to fair value are recognised as other receivables and other payables, respectively. Fair value is measured on the basis of current market data and recognised valuation methods based on observable exchange rates. Leases Leases relating to property, plant and equipment in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (finance leases) are recognised in the balance sheet as assets. The assets are recognised initially at cost, equivalent to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the future lease payments. The present value is measured using the interest rate implicit in the lease or an approximation thereof as the discount rate. The capitalised residual lease commitment on finance leases is recognised as a liability. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised in the income statement over the lease term.

Note
1 A ccounting policies (continued)
Government grants
Government grants include grants for projects, investments, etc.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred or for the purchase of assets are set up in
the balance sheet as deferred income or offset against the carrying amount of the assets and recognised
in the income statement in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred or over the periods and
in the proportions in which depreciation on the assets is charged.
Income statement
Revenue
Revenue comprises completed construction contracts and construction contracts in progress, sale of
development projects, and rental income.
Revenue from construction contracts under which assets or plants with a high degree of individual
customisation are supplied is recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion
so that revenue corresponds to the selling price of the work performed during the year (the percentage
of completion method).
Revenue from self-generated project development cases is recognised applying the sales method.
Revenue and profit from projects sold are recognised when delivery has been made and risk has been
transferred to the buyer and provided the income can be measured reliably and is expected to be
received.
Revenue relating to rental income is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the income can be measured reliably
and its payment is probable.
Revenue is measured net of value added and similar sales-based taxes and trade discounts and rebates.
Production costs
Production costs comprise both direct and indirect costs incurred in generating the revenue for the year,
and expected losses on construction contracts in progress.
Production costs include the cost of raw materials and consumables, wages and salaries, depreciation
and impairment losses, etc.
Distribution costs
Distribution costs include tendering, advertising and marketing costs as well as salaries, etc., relating
to the sales and marketing departments.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses comprise expenses for administrative staff and management, including salaries,
office expenses, depreciation, etc.

Note 1 Accounting policies (continued) The Group's share of profit after tax of associates The proportionate share of profit of associates is recognised in the consolidated income statement net of tax and after elimination of the proportionate share of profits/losses resulting from intragroup transactions and after deduction of goodwill impairment losses. Financial income and expenses Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and expense, dividends from other equity investments and realised and unrealised gains and losses on securities, payables and transactions denominated in foreign currencies, as well as finance lease costs and income tax surcharges and refunds. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or development of self-constructed qualifying assets are recognised as part of the cost of those assets. The parent company recognises dividends from investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates and adjustments of investments at the recoverable amount. Dividends are credited to income in the financial year in which they are declared. Income tax Income tax expense, which consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to income and expenses recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised directly in equity. Current tax comprises both Danish and foreign income taxes as well as adjustments relating to prior year taxes. MT Højgaard a/s is taxed jointly with its Danish and foreign subsidiaries (international joint taxation). Subsidiaries are included in the joint taxation from the date on which they are included in the consolidation of the consolidated financial statements, and up to the date on which they are no longer included in the consolidation. The parent company MT Højgaard a/s is the management company for the Danish joint taxation and consequently settles all income tax payments to the Danish tax authorities. Balance sheet Intangible assets Goodwill is measured initially at cost as described in the section on business combinations. Goodwill is not amortised. The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed, at least annually, and written down via the income statement to the recoverable amount if this is lower than the carrying amount. Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

Note
1 A ccounting policies (continued)
losses. The amortisation period is normally 5-10 years. The amortisation base is reduced by any impairment
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost comprises purchase price and costs directly attributable to the acquisition until the date the asset is
available for use. The cost of self-constructed assets comprises direct and indirect cost of materials, compo
nents, subsuppliers and labour as well as borrowing costs attributable to the construction of the assets.
the useful lives of other assets are determined for groups of uniform assets. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life to
the expected residual value. The useful lives of major assets are determined on an individual basis, while
Expected useful lives:
Buildings
10-50 years
Plant and machinery 3-10 years
Fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment 3-10 years
Leasehold improvements 3-10 years
Land is not depreciated. Nor is depreciation charged if the residual value of an asset exceeds its carrying
amount. The residual value is determined at the date of acquisition and reviewed annually.
price less costs to sell and the carrying amount at the date of disposal. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement
as production costs or administrative expenses and are measured as the difference between the selling
Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements
The Group measures investments in associates using the equity method. Accordingly, investments in
accounting policies, plus or minus unrealised intragroup profits/losses, and plus goodwill. associates are measured at the proportionate share of the associates' net assets, applying the Group's
receivables from the associate. Any balance is recognised under provisions. Associates with a negative carrying amount are recognised at nil. If the Group has a legal or constructive
obligation to cover an associate's negative balance, the negative balance is offset against the Group's
Investments in the parent company financial statements
The parent company measures investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates at
cost. Investments are written down to the recoverable amount, if this is lower than the carrying amount.
under liabilities. Subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates with a negative carrying amount are recognised
at nil. If the parent company has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the negative balance of
a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate, the negative balance is offset against the parent
company's receivables from the subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate. Any balance is recognised
Note
1 A ccounting policies (continued)
Other investments
Other non-current receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses.
Other equity investments are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date.
Impairment of non-current assets
The carrying amounts of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments are reviewed,
at least annually, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. However, the recoverable amount of goodwill is always
reviewed annually.
The recoverable amount is the greater of an asset's fair value less expected costs to sell and its value in
use, which is the discounted value of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash
generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Impairment losses on other assets are reversed to the
extent that the assumptions and estimates that led to the recognition of the impairment loss have
changed.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at cost in accordance with the FIFO method. Where the net realisable value
is lower than the cost, inventories are written down to this lower value.
The cost of raw materials and consumables comprises purchase price plus expenses incurred in bringing
them to their existing location and condition.
Properties, project development cases in progress and undeveloped sites that are not classified as held
for continued future ownership or use are carried as properties held for resale and measured at the lower
of cost and net realisable value.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses.
Construction contracts in progress
Construction contracts in progress are measured at the selling price of the work performed. A construction
contract is a contract under which the assets or plants in question are constructed to customer specifica
tions and requirements in terms of design, function, etc. Moreover, a binding contract under which any
termination will lead to penalties or claims is entered into before work commences.
The selling price is measured in proportion to the stage of completion at the balance sheet date and total
expected income from each construction contract. The stage of completion is determined on the basis of
the costs incurred and the total expected costs.
1 A ccounting policies (continued)
When it is probable that the total costs on a construction contract in progress will exceed total contract
revenue, the total expected loss on the contract is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where the selling price cannot be measured reliably, it is recognised at the lower of costs incurred and
net realisable value.
The individual construction contract in progress is recognised in the balance sheet under receivables or
current liabilities, depending on the net value of the selling price less progress billings and recognised
losses.
Costs in connection with sales work and tendering to secure contracts are recognised as a cost in the
income statement under distribution costs in the financial year in which they are incurred.
Prepayments and deferred income
Prepayments are recognised under receivables, and deferred income is recognised under current liabilities.
Prepayments and deferred income include costs incurred or income received during the year in respect
of subsequent financial years, apart from items relating to construction contracts in progress.
Securities
Listed securities recognised as current assets are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date.
Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement as financial income or expenses in the
period in which they occur.
Equity
Dividends
Proposed dividends are recognised as a liability at the date of adoption at the Annual General Meeting.
Proposed dividends are disclosed as a separate item under equity.
Hedging reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the accumulated net change in the fair value of hedging transactions that
qualify for designation as cash flow hedges, and where the hedged transaction has yet to be realised.
ranslation reserve
The translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements comprises foreign exchange differences
after 1 January 2004 that have arisen from the translation of the financial statements of foreign enter
prises from their functional currencies to Danish kroner and foreign exchange adjustments of balances
with foreign entities that are accounted for as part of the Group's overall net investment in the entity
in question. On full or partial realisation of the net investment, the foreign exchange adjustments are
recognised in the income statement.
Current tax and deferred tax
Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in the balance sheet as tax calculated on the taxable
income for the year, adjusted for tax paid on account, etc.

Note 1 Accounting policies (continued) Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are measured using the balance sheet liability method, providing for all temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the balance sheet. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and office premises. The measurement is based on the planned use of the asset or settlement of the liability, and on the relevant tax rules. Deferred tax is provided for retaxation of previously deducted losses of jointly taxed foreign subsidiaries to the extent that it is deemed that disposal of the investment or withdrawal from the international joint taxation scheme may be relevant. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss carryforwards, are recognised at the value at which it is expected that they can be utilised by set-off against deferred tax liabilities or by elimination against tax on the future earnings of the subsidiary or the parent company and the other jointly taxed subsidiaries in the same country. Deferred tax assets are entered as a separate line item under investments. Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax rules and the tax rates effective in the respective countries at the time the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax. The effect of changes in deferred tax due to changed tax rates is recognised in the income statement, unless the items in question were previously taken to equity. Pension obligations The Group's pension plans are insured (defined contribution). Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they relate, and any costs payable are recognised in the balance sheet as other payables. Provisions A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when the amount can be measured reliably. Financial liabilities Bank loans, etc., are recognised at inception at the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, equivalent to the capitalised value using the effective interest rate. Accordingly, the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognised in the income statement over the term of the loan. Other liabilities, comprising trade payables, payables to subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, and other payables, are measured at amortised cost.

Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement shows the Group's cash flows for the year, broken down by operating, investing
and financing activities, and the effects of these cash flows on the Group's cash and cash equivalents.
The cash flow effect of acquisitions and disposals of enterprises is shown separately under cash flows from
investing activities. Cash flows from acquisitions are recognised in the cash flow statement from the date
of acquisition and cash flows from disposals are recognised up to the date of disposal.
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities are determined using the indirect method, whereby operating profit
is adjusted for the effects of non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, and net financing costs
and income taxes paid.
Cash flows for investing activities
Cash flows for investing activities comprise payments in connection with acquisition and disposal of enter
prises and activities and purchase and sale of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and invest
ments as well as purchase and sale of securities that are not recognised as cash and cash equivalents.
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities comprise payments to and from shareholders, including payment
of dividends and increases and decreases in non-current borrowings.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash equivalents less current portion of bank loans, etc.
Financial ratios
Financial ratios have been prepared in conformity with the Danish Society of Financial Analysts'
'Recommendations & Financial Ratios 2005'.
The financial ratios used are defined under consolidated financial highlights.

2 Accounting estimates and judgements

Estimation uncertainty

Determining the carrying amounts of some assets and liabilities requires estimation of the effects of future events on the carrying amounts of those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

The estimates applied are based on assumptions which are sound, in management's opinion, but which, by their nature, are uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unforeseen events or circumstances may occur. Moreover, the company is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ from these estimates. Special risks for the MT Højgaard Group are described in note 26 on "Financial risks" and in the section on "Commercial risks" in the management's review.

Estimates that are material for the financial reporting relate primarily to measurement of the selling price of construction contracts in progress and the outcome of disputes. This is determined on the basis of, among other things, expected remaining expenses and income. They also include estimates relating to the outcome of litigation in connection with demands for extra payments, etc., which are determined on the basis of, among other things, the stage of negotiations with the counterparty and an evaluation of the likely outcome.

In connection with impairment testing of equity investments and goodwill, we also apply estimates of how the enterprises in question or parts of the enterprise to which the goodwill relates will be able to generate sufficient positive future net cash flows to support the value of the equity investment or goodwill, and other net assets in the part of the enterprise in question. Such estimates are naturally subject to some uncertainty, which is reflected in the discount rate applied. The assumptions for impairment testing of equity investments and goodwill are described in notes 11 and 13 respectively.

Accounting policies

As part of the application of the Group's accounting policies, management makes judgements, in addition to estimates, that may have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The judgements that have the greatest impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements relate primarily to construction contracts in progress, and when income and expenses under contracts with third parties are to be accounted for in accordance with the percentage of completion method or the sales method.

Goodwill

The carrying amounts of goodwill attributable to business area Civil Engineering (DKK 4.0 million), Construction (DKK 24.0 million) and Utility Services (DKK 5.7 million) in MT Højgaard a/s; Enemærke & Petersen a/s (DKK 43.2 million); and Lindpro a/s (DKK 17.2 million), were tested for impairment at 31 December 2009.

The recoverable amount was determined as the value in use, calculated as the present value of the expected future net cash flows from the cash-generating units. In connection with the test at 31 December 2009 the net cash flows were determined on the basis of the approved budget for 2010 and estimates for the years 2011-2014. The growth in the terminal period was fixed at 1% (2008: 2.5%). A discount rate of 11-12% before tax was used to calculate the present value (2008: 10-12%).

The impairment test did not give rise to any write-downs of goodwill to recoverable amount.

Management estimates that probable changes in the underlying assumptions will not result in the carrying amount of goodwill exceeding its recoverable amount.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets comprise customer lists acquired on acquisition of enterprises and activities.

It is estimated that the useful lives of capitalised intangible assets are limited.

Management has not identified any factors indicating a need for impairment testing of other intangible assets.

A list of the consolidated enterprises is given in note 33.

In 2009, investments in subsidiaries were written down by DKK 13.0 million to recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount was determined as the value in use, calculated as the present value of the expected future net cash flows from the cash-generating units. A discount rate of 11-12% before tax was used to calculate the present value (2008: 10-12%).

Impairment losses for the year are recognised under financial expenses in note 9. The impairment losses relate to MT Højgaard Grønland ApS and MT Højgaard Føroyar P/F. The carrying amounts have been written down to the estimated recoverable amounts.

Deferred tax has been calculated using the tax rates effective in the respective countries to which the deferred tax relates.

The tax loss carryforwards are not subject to any time limits and are expected to be utilised by set-off against future earnings.

A substantial proportion of the deferred tax asset relating to tax loss carryforwards is attributable to a timing difference between recognition applying tax rules and recognition applying accounting rules, which is primarily reflected in the deferred tax on current assets.

26 Financial risks
MT Højgaard's activities entail various financial risks that may affect the Group's
development, financial position and operations.
There have been no significant changes in the Group's risk exposure or risk
management compared with 2008.
MT Højgaard maintains an overview of the Group's currency positions and interest
rate sensitivity with a view to mitigating currency risks and maintaining interest
rate sensitivity at a low level.
Currency risks
Currency risks are managed centrally in MT Højgaard with a view to mitigating
the effects of currency fluctuations. On projects, MT Højgaard strives to minimise
risks by seeking to match income to expenditure so that they balance with respect
to currency and by using forward exchange contracts.
Currency fluctuations do not have any material effect on the Group's foreign
enterprises, as the individual consolidated enterprises settle both income and
expenses in their functional currencies.
Where major currency positions arise in currencies outside the euro zone, these
are normally hedged using forward exchange contracts. The currency exposure
therefore mainly relates to the value of foreign investments, which is not normally
hedged.
The Group primarily uses forward exchange contracts to hedge contractual and
budgeted cash flows. Changes in the value of derivative financial instruments are
recognised in the income statement under production costs as they arise, as they
do not qualify for hedge accounting. In the consolidated income statement the
amount recognised amounted to an expense of DKK 17.3 million (2008: income
of DKK 12.6 million). In the parent company income statement the amount
recognised amounted to an expense of DKK 14.4 million (2008: income of DKK
12.6 million).
The open forward exchange contracts at 31 December 2009 had a remaining term
of up to 5 years (2015).
Consolidated revenue denominated in foreign currencies, predominantly EUR,
amounted to DKK 2.4 billion in 2009 (2008: DKK 2.2 billion).
The Group's principal currency exposure is mainly related to EUR, USD, GBP, NOK
and SEK.
The hypothetical effect on profit for the year and equity of reasonable, probable
increases in exchange rates is shown below:

414.7 NOK/DKK, probable change in exchange rate 5% -414.7 - 15.6
-97.4 -184.7

A decrease in the exchange rate would have a corresponding opposite effect on profit for the year and equity.

The sensitivity analyses are based on the financial instruments recognised at 31 December 2009 and an assumption of unchanged production/sales and price level.

Interest rate risks

Interest rate risks relate mainly to cash/securities and interest-bearing debt items.

Cash/securities stood at DKK 956.1 million at the end of 2009 and is mainly placed on short-term, fixed-term deposit and in bonds with a maturity of less than one year at the end of 2009.

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities stood at DKK 132.0 million at the end of 2009, with short-term borrowings accounting for 28%. The average weighted remaining maturity of the Group's interest-bearing debt was 5.0 years, and the weighted average effective interest rate was 4.2%. Fixed-rate debt accounted for 56% of the Group's interest-bearing debt.

Changes in fair value: all other conditions being equal, the hypothetical effect of a one percentage point increase in relation to the interest rate level at the balance sheet date would have been a DKK 3.5 million decrease in profit for the year and equity at 31 December 2009 (2008: decrease of DKK 0.3 million). A one percentage point decrease in the interest rate level would have had a corresponding positive effect.

Changes in cash flows: all other conditions being equal, the hypothetical effect of a one percentage point increase in relation to the interest rate level realised for the year on the Group's floating-rate cash/securities and debt would have been a DKK 2.9 million increase in profit for the year and equity at 31 December 2009 (2008: increase of DKK 2.0 million). A one percentage point decrease in the interest rate level would have had a corresponding opposite effect.

Credit risks
Credit risks are generally managed by regular credit rating of major clients
and business partners. Excluding security received, the maximum credit risk
on receivables corresponds to the amounts recognised in the balance sheet.
The Group has no material risks relating to a single customer or business partner.
The credit risk exposure relating to dealings with counterparties other than banks
is estimated to be limited, as the Group requests security in the form of bank
guarantees and guarantee insurances or similar to a considerable extent when
entering into contracts with private clients. Political credit risks on international
projects are hedged through export credit insurance based on individual assess
ment.
Write-downs for bad and doubtful debts consequently constitute an insignificant
amount and are due to compulsory winding-up or expected compulsory winding
up of clients.

27 Capital management
The need for alignment of the Group's and the individual subsidiaries' capital
structure is reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the capital position is
in accordance with current regulations and matches the business concept and the
level of activity. According to the Group's internal policy, equity must, as a rule,
cover total non-current assets and provide an adequate equity ratio. The equity
ratio was 29% in 2009 compared with 27% at the end of 2008.

the future economic benefits from assets such as knowhow and synergies. The
acquired activities feature with DKK 0.1 million in consolidated profit for 2009.

acquired activities were taken over at 1 January 2009, amounted to DKK 9,109.8
