Press release
MT Højgaard has sold its entire 50% ownership interest in the crane company BMS with effect from 29 November.
The sale was made to the Enggaard family, which has owned BMS on a fiftyfifty basis with MT Højgaard since 2004.
The sale of the shares in BMS is in keeping with MT Højgaard's strategy to dispose of activities that fall outwith MT Højgaard's strategic focus and of which we are consequently no longer the best owner. MT Højgaard's collaboration with BMS will continue as before.
Against the background of the disposal of BMS it is now expected that MT Højgaard will realise full-year 2007 profit before tax in the region of DKK 300 million compared with the earlier outlook of profit before tax in the region of DKK 185 million. The increased profit outlook corresponds to the accounting gain in connection with the transaction. The gain is tax-free.
Yours faithfully MT Højgaard a/s
