The board of directors of Højgaard Holding A/S has today considered and approved the annual report for 2014, which follows below in its entirety and with the following summary.

Summary

  • In 2014, the Højgaard Holding group realised a revenue of DKK 70 million and an operating profit of DKK 10 million, which is on a level with 2013.
  • The Højgaard Holding group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 174 million, which is approx. DKK 200 million down on last year’s profit of DKK 27 million. Results before tax are negatively affected by our share of the liability to pay damages that MT Højgaard incurred in connection with the settlement of old offshore dispute cases.
  • The Højgaard Holding group recorded a loss after tax of DKK 176 million compared to a profit of DKK 25 million in 2013.

Special items amounted to a loss of DKK 408 million in 2014 and relate to the offshore dispute cases that were lost in 2014. In 2013, DKK 130 million was recognised as income under special items. Results after tax (before minority interests) amounted to a loss of DKK 252 million for the year, compared to a profit of DKK 107 million for 2013.
  • For 2015, the MT Højgaard group expects revenue at the level of DKK 7.0 to DKK 7.5 billion and an operating profit of DKK 300-375 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 4-5%.
  • For 2015, in addition to our 54 % share of the MT Højgaard group’s profit after tax and minority interests the Højgaard Holding group expects a small positive result before tax.
