I. INTRODUCTION

Under the terms and for the effects of the applicable legal and regulatory provisions, TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. hereby discloses the Quarterly Information relative to the first three months of 2009.

In compliance with and under the new legislation on the presentation of periodic information, it should be noted that the elements disclosed herein refer only to the consolidated position and that the financial statements and their notes were prepared based on the International Accounting Standard IAS 34, with the scope and development established in the Law.

Hence, after a brief presentation on the evolution of activity during the period under analysis, commenting on the main financial and management indicators, also included in this document are the Consolidated Financial Statements and their respective notes.

It should also be noted that, without prejudice to the regular monitoring of the activity of Teixeira Duarte by its Supervisory Bodies, as well as through the information reported to the Supervisory Bodies for the purpose of the preparation of this document, the elements published herein are not, under the terms of the applicable provisions, subject to auditing.

We briefly highlight some topics which will be further developed later in the report:

  • Net Income of the first quarter increased by 150.3% in relation to the same period of 2008;
  • Turnover continues to grow, having reached 278 million Euros in three months;
  • Portfolio of Orders of the Teixeira Duarte Group for the construction sector above 2,000 million Euros promises a good outlook for activity.

II. EVOLUTION OF ACTIVITY:

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Shareholders were positive by 15,790 thousand Euros, reflecting a significant increase of 150.3% relative to the homologous period.

Turnover maintained the upward trend, this time of 3.5% relative to the first quarter of 2008, reaching 278,148 thousand Euros.

Evolution of Consolidated Turnover

(Amounts in thousand Euros)

As a result of the economic circumstances experienced over the last few years, in this specific quarter the positive variation was essentially due to the expansion of the external market, the increase of which was greater than the decrease which occurred in Portugal, with turnover abroad now representing 62.2% of the total turnover of the Teixeira Duarte Group.

The table below indicates that while some markets have been more penalised by the current economic crisis, others continue to show sustained growth, namely in Angola, Algeria, Spain and Mozambique. In the case of Mozambique, a comparison of the figures for the same period of 2008 is very revealing of the impetus of the local economy, especially associated to the public investment in infrastructures essential to the country's development.

Contribution to Turnover

Countries 2009 2008 Var (%)
Portugal 105,183 121,865 -13.7%
Angola 116,166 88,396 31.4%
Algeria 26,039 24,523 6.2%
Brazil 13,110 16,078 -18.5%
Ukraine 1,337 5,146 -74.0%
Spain 6,060 5,314 14.0%
Mozambique 8,813 4,040 118.1%
Morocco 873 910 -4.1%
Venezuela 221 2,154 -89.7%
Other 346 348 -0.6%
TOTAL 278,148 268,774 3.5%

(Amounts in thousand Euros)

Consolidated operating income also continues to register sustained and continuous growth, having reached 295,368 thousand Euros in this first quarter of 2009, reflecting an increase of 7.2% in relation to the figure achieved over the same period last year.

The total operating income reached in the fuel sector in Portugal was penalised not only by the strategy of optimisation of results in detriment of turnover, but also by the unfavourable economic circumstances, in particular in the oil market.

The figures obtained in this first quarter in Cements, Concrete and Aggregates were negatively affected by the overall economic circumstances in some geographical markets where C+P.A., S.A. operates.

Operating Income by activity and geographical markets :

(Amounts in thousand Euros)

Even so, these more significant reductions were compensated by the good performance in Construction, where the national market is of particular importance and which has faced recognised overall economic difficulties, and in the other areas of action of the Group.

In this way, the contribution of each of the activity sectors to the total value of consolidated operating income was as follows:

EBITDA grew by 35.1% in relation to last year, registering 40,423 thousand Euros.

Although influenced by non-recurrent operations of 5,344 thousand Euros, this figure represents the highest value observed in the same period over the last five years.

Evolution of Consolidated EBITDA

In fact, during this first quarter of 2009, with the exception of Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, as a result of the exposure of this activity to the sharply downward moving Ukrainian market, and Food Trade which registered a slight reduction for this indicator, all the other activity sectors of the Group increased strongly, with the significant increase of EBITDA in the Fuel Trade being particularly noteworthy, in view of the comments made above relative to the reduction of operating income from this business area.

(Amounts in thousand Euros)

In this context, the EBITDA / Turnover margin grew by 30.5% in comparison to March 2008, having increased from 11.1% to 14.5% by March 2009.

The financial results were negative by 11,837 thousand Euros, having registered similar figures to those of the same period of the previous year, with the results relative to the Associated companies having been of particular importance and which fell by 13,318 thousand Euros in relation to March 2008.

Also considered positive is the fact that, on the one hand, although indebtedness increased by 81,598 thousand Euros, financial costs were lower than in the first quarter of 2008, due to the decrease in interest rates. On the other hand, during this quarter, a positive impact of the exchange rate effect was registered to the amount of 6,739 thousand Euros, essentially due to the appreciation of the American Dollar compared to the Euro.

Income Tax decreased by 16.4% in relation to 31st March 2008, having reached 1,731 thousand Euros for the quarter ended on 31st March 2009.

Total Net Assets maintained similar values to those registered on 31st December 2008, having reached 3,203,985 thousand Euros, with those relative to "CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal, SGPS, S.A.", "Banco Comercial Português, S.A." and "Lagoas Park" having been of particular importance, with a combined value of 1,274,858 thousand Euros.

The Indebtedness of the Group, which continues to be subject to careful control and integrated in the overall strategy which has been defined, reached 2,038,978 thousand Euros, thus increasing by 81,598 thousand Euros in the first quarter of 2009, during which significantly more was invested in Lagoas Park and in the activities being developed in Brazil.

The Net Indebtedness of the Group on 31st March 2009 reached 1,907,850 thousand Euros, having increased by 55,948 thousand Euros, in relation to 31st December 2008.

(Amounts in thousand Euros)

The abovementioned evolutions reflect an investment policy and strengthening of the equity of Teixeira Duarte, which has permitted the Company to significantly increase its assets, in spite of the devaluation occurred in the Financial Assets Available for Sale. On this issue, it is pertinent to note that just the holdings in "Banco Comercial Português, S.A." and "CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal, SGPS, S.A.", valued at 746,541 thousand Euros in accordance with the respective stock market prices at 31st March 2009, added to the areas occupied by the "Lagoas Park" enterprise, valued at 253,600 thousand Euros in accordance with a capitalisation rate of 8% on the respective income, represent 49.1% of the value of the Group's indebtedness.

To complement this reference, as is our habit, it should be noted that these three assets normally referred to due to their greater liquidity and objective market valuation, represent only 31.2% of the total assets of the Teixeira Duarte Group.

Total Equity decreased, having reached 307,733 thousand Euros, which reflects a negative difference of 9.2% in relation to 31st December 2008, essentially due to the impact of the Financial Assets Available for Sale, namely the financial holdings in "Banco Comercial Português, S.A.".

Financial Autonomy fell from 10.7% on 31st December 2008 to 9.6% on 31st March 2009.

Regarding the consolidation perimeter, note should be made of the entry of the following entities:

In the construction sector, the companies NOVA TEIXEIRA DUARTE – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and BEL-ERE – Engenharia e Reabilitação de Estruturas Angola, Lda. were incorporated.

"TEIXEIRA DUARTE – TRADING, S.A." was also incorporated.

Furthermore, the Complementary Groups of Companies "CONBATE, ACE" and "D.L.O.E.A.C.E. – DOURO LITORAL, Obras Especiais, ACE" were also incorporated, although they were not consolidated due to still being in the initial phase of start-up of their activities.

In the area of human resources we continued our efforts towards the minimisation of inactivity, which was significantly reduced, simultaneously with a consistent policy relative to professional training and awareness-raising on safety at work, providing employees with the necessary qualifications for the new challenges faced by society.

Our action is strict in relation to the adequacy of the number of workers to the activity developed in the different sectors and markets. During the quarter under consideration, it was observed, once again, that the quantity of human resources increased relative to 31st December 2008, from an average number of 13,157 to 13,412, in line with the expansion of activity in the external market.

"TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A." stock, in the first quarter of 2009, registered a devaluation of 22.4%, falling from 0.60€ on 31st December 2008 to 0.464€ at the end of March 2009. Although the stock reached a historic low of 0.407€ on 6th March 2009, there has since been a strong inversion of this downward trend, having currently reached 0.982€.

Over the first three months of the year liquidity and turnover was substantially lower than that of same period of the previous year, as a result of the turbulence experienced on national and international stock markets.

III. Facts Occurred After the End of the 1st Quarter of 2009

An important fact to note on the events which occurred after the closing of the first quarter of this year, is the positive evolution of the stock market prices of the holdings owned by the Group, in particular in "Banco Comercial Português, S.A." and "Banco Bilbao Viscaya Argentaria, S.A.", the valuation of which at current market prices would have a positive impact on the accounts of 40,151 thousand Euros, directly reflected on equity, implying that the financial autonomy of Teixeira Duarte would rise, based on the figures calculated today, from 9.6% to 10.7%.

On 28th April 2009, TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A. signed an Agreement in Principle relative to the termination of the joint holding in the company C+P.A. – Cimento e Produtos Associados, S.A., which establishes the sharing of the assets owned by this jointly participated company, the terms, form and amount of which have yet to be defined, but shall essentially establish that:

  • a) C+P.A., S.A. shall sell the holdings in the assets of the cement plants "Cimpor Macau" and "Arenor, SL" to the CIMPOR Group;
  • b) Teixeira Duarte shall acquire the 48% of the share capital of C+P.A., S.A held by the CIMPOR Group, resulting in the Teixeira Duarte Group thus holding 100% of C+P.A., S.A and, in particular, the shares in Banco Comercial Português, S.A. held by it;

Under this same agreement, TEIXEIRA DUARTE transmitted the decision, in its current situation as a reference owner of holdings and the largest shareholder of CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A., to limit its interests in the cement area to these holdings in CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A., and its intention to sell on the market the rest of the cementrelated assets C+P.A., S.A. which have not yet been transferred to the CIMPOR Group, with the CIMPOR Group being assured the right to prior offer and, after a specified period of time, the call option.

The Agreement in Principle implies the negotiation and signing of the necessary binding contractual instruments, which the Parties shall endeavour to conclude within the period of 3 months, also subject to the obtaining of all the legally required authorisations or approvals.

The Annual General Meeting of "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A.", was held on 13th May 2008, which registered a high percentage participation and where the documents presenting the accounts were presented, both individual and consolidated, as well as the Corporate Governance Report and the other proposals submitted therein for the assessment of the shareholders, all under the terms laid down in the documents disclosed on www.teixeiraduarte.pt and in the communication issued to the market on 14th May, of which particular note should be made of the following:

Approval was given relative to the proposal for the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Calainho Teixeira Duarte, as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors, to exercise functions up to the end of the current mandate (2007/2010), simultaneously implying his leaving of the position of Chief Executive Officer and the maintenance of the Board of Directors with the same eight members which currently compose it, none of whom have executive functions, namely due to the fact that the proposed Chairman of the Board of Directors shall perform executive functions.Pedro Maria

The proposal was approved in view of the planned intra-Group corporate restructuring operation, through which "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A." shall transfer the assets and resources allocated to the construction activity to a new company 100% controlled by it, the corporate objective of which shall be construction activity under terms identical to those which it has been pursuing up to date, with the current "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A." continuing as a listed company and holding of the Group, and the Board of Directors being fully empowered to decide for such purposes.

IV. Outlook for 2009

For 2009, we shall strengthen our attitude of particular caution and vigilance relative to cost contention, focusing our efforts of prudent participation in the main national tenders for public works contracts and shall continue the grow in this sector abroad.

Portfolio of Orders of the Teixeira Duarte Group for the construction sector, which reached the significant value of 2,081,277 million Euros on 31st March 2009, increased by 3.1% in comparison to December 2008, thus permitting the assurance of good levels of activity, above all in the current context of such unfavourable economic circumstances .

We shall also pursue the development of our action in other activity sectors, whenever possible also giving priority to ventures into external markets, which, due to their dynamics, have been gaining increasing expression in the universe of the Teixeira Duarte Group.

Overall, our objectives for 2009 remain the achievement of consolidated operating income of 1,500 million Euros.

Lagoas Park, 29th May 2009 The Representative for Market Relations

7 – SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

The Group adopted IFRS 8 - Operating Segments ("IFRS 8"), which took effect as of 1st January 2009. IFRS 8 requires that the reportable segments should be identified based on internal reports on the Group's components which are regularly reviewed by the Management for the allocation of resources to the segment and evaluation of its performance. In contrast, the previous standard (IAS 14) required the identification of two sets of segments (business and geographical), using a risks and rewards approach. As a result, after the adoption of IFRS 8, geographical segments are not reported.

The main activities developed by the Group are classified into the following operating segments:

  • Construction
  • Cement, concrete and aggregates
  • Concessions and services
  • Real estate
  • Hotel services
  • Food trading
  • Fuel trading
  • Sale of vehicles

The sales and services rendered and the results of each of the abovementioned operating segments for the quarters ended on 31st March 2009 and 2008, were as follows:

10 - INCOME TAX

Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and most of its participated companies in Portugal are subject to Corporate Income Tax (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas ("IRC")), currently at the rate of 25% and to the Municipal Tax at the maximum rate of 1.5% of taxable profit. In the calculation of the taxable amount, to which the abovementioned tax rates are applied, the non-acceptable amounts for tax purposes are added and subtracted from the book value results. These differences between the book value results and the results for tax purposes may be of a temporary or permanent nature.

The Company and the participated companies at least 90% held, located in Portugal, are subject to the special taxation regime of groups of companies (since the financial year of 2003). This regime consists in the aggregation of the taxable profits of all the companies included in the tax perimeter, as established in article 63 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, deducted by the dividends distributed, with the Corporate Income Tax rate being then applied to the overall result, increased by the respective Municipal Tax.

In accordance with the legislation in force, tax statements are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (ten years for Social Security, up to 2000, inclusive, and five years as of 2001), except when tax losses have been reported, or inspections, complaints or impugnations are in progress, in which case, depending on the circumstances, the periods of time are prolonged or suspended. Hence, the Group's tax statements for the years from 2005 to 2008 may still be subject to review. The Board of Directors believes that any corrections which might arise from any tax reviews/inspections to these tax statements should not significantly affect the financial statements as at 31st March 2009.

The Group records deferred taxes corresponding to the temporary differences between the book value of the assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax base, as laid down in IAS 12 - Income Tax (Note 18).

The tax charge registered for the quarters ended on 31st March 2009 and 2008 may be presented as follows:

2009 2008
Current tax:
Income tax in Portugal 2,883 2,307
Income tax in other jurisdictions 1,871 1,191
4,754 3,498
Deferred tax (Note 18): (3,023) (1,427)
1,731 2,071

In addition to the amounts of deferred taxes recorded directly in the income statement, deferred taxes amounting to 9,399 thousand Euros were also recorded as at 31st March 2009 (50,848 thousand Euros as at 31st March 2008) directly as change in equity.

11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The earnings per share for the quarters ended on 31st March 2009 and 2008 were calculated taking into consideration the following amounts:

2009 2008
Basic earnings per share:
Earnings for the effect of calculating net earnings per basic share (net income of the period) 15,790 6,309
Weighted average number of shares for the effect of calculating net earnings per basic share (thousand) 420,000 420,000
Net earnings per basic share 0.04 0.02

Since for the financial years ended on 31st March 2009 and 2008 there were no dilution effects of the earnings per share, the diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share.

25 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

An important fact to note on the events occurred after the closing of the first quarter of this year, is the positive evolution of the stock market prices of the holdings owned by the Group, in particular in "Banco Comercial Português, S.A." and "Banco Bilbao Viscaya Argentaria, S.A.", the valuation of which at current market prices would have a positive impact on the accounts of 40,151 thousand Euros, directly reflected on equity, implying that the financial autonomy of Teixeira Duarte would rise, based on the figures calculated today, from 9.6% to 10.7%.

On 28th April 2009, TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A. signed an Agreement in Principle relative to the termination of the joint holding in the company C+P.A. – Cimento e Produtos Associados, S.A., which establishes the sharing of the assets owned by this jointly participated company, the terms, form and amount of which have yet to be defined, but shall essentially establish that:

  • a) C+P.A., S.A. shall sell the holdings in the assets of the cement plants "Cimpor Macau" and "Arenor, SL" to the CIMPOR Group;
  • b) Teixeira Duarte shall acquire the 48% holding in the share capital of C+P.A., S.A owned by the CIMPOR Group, resulting in the Teixeira Duarte Group thus holding 100% of C+P.A., S.A and, in particular, the shares in Banco Comercial Português, S.A. held by it;

Under this same agreement , TEIXEIRA DUARTE transmitted the decision, in its current situation as a reference owner of holdings and the largest shareholder of CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A., to limit its interests in the cement area to these holdings in CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal SGPS, S.A., and its intention to sell on the market the rest of the cement-related assets C+P.A., S.A. which have not yet been transferred to the CIMPOR Group, with the CIMPOR Group being assured the right to prior offer and, after a specified period of time, the call option.

The Agreement in Principle implies the negotiation and signing of the necessary binding contractual instruments, which the Parties shall endeavour to conclude within the period of 3 months, also subject to the obtaining of all the legally required authorisations or approvals.

The Annual General Meeting of "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A.", was held on 13th May 2008, which registered a high percentage participation and where the documents presenting the accounts were approved, both individual and consolidated, as well as the Corporate Governance Report and the other proposals submitted therein for the assessment of the shareholders, all under the terms laid down in the documents disclosed on www.teixeiraduarte.pt and in the communication issued to the market on 14th May, of which the following are of particular note:

Approval was given relative to the proposal for the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Pedro Maria Calainho Teixeira Duarte, as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors, to exercise functions up to the end of the current mandate (2007/2010), simultaneously implying his leaving the position of Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors maintaining the same eight members which currently compose it, none of whom have executive functions, namely due to the fact that the proposed Chairman of the Board of Directors shall perform executive functions.

The proposal was approved in view of the planned intra-Group corporate restructuring operation, through which "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A." shall transfer the assets and resources allocated to the construction activity to a new company 100% controlled by it, the corporate objective of which shall be construction activity under terms identical to those which it has been pursuing up to date, with the current "TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A." continuing as a listed company and holding of the Group, and the Board of Directors being fully empowered to decide for such purposes.
