Aims and Outlook

Growth in output volume and disproportionately high increase in earnings

Bilfinger Berger will further improve its risk profile and profitability as a result of the expansion of the Services and Concessions segments and the downsizing of the construction business. In the medium term, it is intended to reduce the volume of the construction business to the region of €2 billion annually. A significant step in this direction is the planned sale of Bilfinger Berger Australia, which generated an output volume of €2.7 billion in 2009. The process of selling the company has been started and an initial public offering is being prepared.

Bilfinger Berger’s continuing operations had an output volume of €7.7 billion and achieved EBIT of €173 million and net profit of €80 million in 2009. For 2010, the Group anticipates further growth in the continuing operations’ output volume combined with disproportionately high increases in EBIT and net profit. The business operations in Australia will contribute towards the Group’s output volume and earnings until the disposal.

All figures for the year 2009 are preliminary. The final figures for the past financial year and the annual financial statements will be available in our Annual Report 2009, which will be published in time for our annual press conference on March 11, 2010. The Annual General Meeting of Bilfinger Berger AG will be held in Mannheim on April 15, 2010.
