Interim report for 1 January to 31 March 2013 (1st quarter 2013)

The board of directors of Højgaard Holding A/S has today considered and approved this interim report for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2013.

• The group’s revenue was DKK 0.8 billion against DKK 1.4 billion for the same period last year.
• The group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 35 million, compared to a loss of DKK 78 million for the same period in the previous year.
• MT Højgaard A/S recorded a loss before tax of DKK 69 million, compared to a loss of DKK 152 million for the same period in the previous year. The result was affected by a lower level of activity in the winter season and the weak profitability of the order portfolio at the beginning of the year.
• For the full 2013, the Højgaard Holding group still expects revenue at the level of DKK 3.8 billion with a small positive result before tax, which, however, may be impacted positively or adversely by the outcome of major disputes in MT Højgaard A/S.
