MT Højgaard Holding

Earnings Release • Aug 28, 2014

The board of directors of Højgaard Holding A/S has today considered and
approved this interim­ report for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2014.

-- In accordance with IFRS 11, as of 1 January 2014 the ownership share in the
jointly controlled enterprise MT Højgaard is recognised on the basis of the
equity method (one-line consolidation) and not on a pro rata basis as
previously, see note 1.
-- The group’s revenue was DKK 36 million against DKK 39 million for the same
period last year.
-- The group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 113 million, compared to a loss
of DKK 33 million for the same period in the previous year.
-- The jointly controlled enterprise MT Højgaard (in which Højgaard Holding
holds a share of 54 %), recorded an operating profit before special ­items
for the period of DKK 16 million, compared to a loss of DKK 18 million for
the same period in the previous year. Special items still amounts to a loss
of DKK 195 million and relate to the provision for the lost offshore
dispute case Robin Rigg, which was described in the stock exchange
announcement of 15 April 2014. In the second quarter, permission was given
to bring the ruling before the Court of Appeal. The profit after tax
(before minority interests) was a loss of DKK 182 million for the period,
compared to a loss of DKK 36 million for the same period last year.
-- MT Højgaard maintains its forecast for a revenue at the level of DKK 7.0 to
7.5 billion. An operating profit before special items for the year at the
level of DKK 150 - 225 million is still expected, which corresponds to a
margin of 2 - 3%. Special items for 2014 are still expected to be negative
by an amount of DKK 195 million, but may still be impacted by the outcome
of old dispute cases, most of which are still ex­pected to be settled in
2014.
-- For 2014, in addition to our share of 54% in the MT Højgaard group’s profit
after tax and minority interests, the Højgaard Holding group still expects
a small po­sitive result before tax.
