   The publicly listed European technology group for construction services
   STRABAG SE today announced its figures for the first quarter of 2025. “The
   dynamic trend from last year continued into the first quarter of 2025. Our
   teams demonstrated their usual STRABAG expertise and secured major
   projects – especially in the semiconductor industry, rail construction and
   energy infrastructure. This allowed us to grow our order backlog to a new
   record of over € 28 billion – an increase of 14% year on year. That sends
   a strong signal and makes us optimistic for the rest of the year,” says
   Stefan Kratochwill, CEO of STRABAG SE.

   Output volume
   The STRABAG SE Group increased its output in the first quarter of 2025 by
   8% to € 3,716.19 million. About half of this increase is attributable to
   contributions from the newly acquired Georgiou Group in Australia. The
   acquisition was successfully completed in the first quarter of 2025, and
   the contributions from the first three months are already included. In the
   existing markets, output growth – driven by the increased order backlog in
   2024 – was strongest in Poland, Austria and Germany. In addition to growth
   in construction activities, the Building Solutions business also recorded
   significant growth.

   Order backlog
   The STRABAG SE order backlog stood at € 28,049.52 million at the end of
   the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the previous year, this represents
   a strong increase of 14% or € 3.5 billion, crossing the € 28 billion mark
   for the first time. The initial consolidation in Australia contributed €
   751 million to the order backlog. Double-digit growth rates were recorded
   in major Group markets – especially in Germany, Austria, the Czech
   Republic and Slovakia. In the United Kingdom and the Americas, the gradual
   completion of major projects led to a decline in the order volume.

   The increase in the order backlog includes significant project
   acquisitions in the high-tech production segment – including semiconductor
   and medical manufacturing and data centre construction – as well as in
   energy and mobility infrastructure. In the energy sector, the focus is on
   electricity and heat projects, while in mobility the emphasis is on rail
   construction. STRABAG was also awarded major projects in the field of
   Reconstruction, Conversion & Refurbishment.

   Employees
   The average number of employees (FTE) in the first quarter of 2025 was
   76,823 – a 2% year-on-year increase. In addition to the acquisition in
   Australia, the rise was also due to a higher number of employees in
   Germany, the Middle East and Poland. In the Americas, employee numbers
   declined due to the completion of major projects.

   Outlook for 2025
   Based on the growth in output and order backlog as well as the successful
   acquisition in Australia, the Management Board is maintaining its targets
   for 2025. Specifically, the company is aiming for construction output of
   around € 21 billion. The EBIT margin is expected to be at least 4.5% – up
   from the previous target of ≥ 4%. In line with the implementation of
   Strategy 2030, net capital expenditure (cash flow from investing
   activities) is projected to remain below € 1,100 million.

   STRABAG SE is a European-based technology group for construction services,
   a leader in innovation and financial strength. Our activities span all
   areas of the construction industry and cover the entire construction value
   chain. We create added value for our clients by taking an end-to-end view
   of construction over the entire life cycle – from planning and design to
   construction, operation and facility management to redevelopment or
   demolition. In all of our work, we accept responsibility for people and
   the environment: We are shaping the future of construction and are making
   significant investments in our portfolio of more than 250 innovation and
   400 sustainability projects. Through the hard work and dedication of our
   approximately 86,000 employees, we generate an annual output volume of
   around € 19 billion.

   Our dense network of subsidiaries in various European countries and on
   other continents extends our area of operation far beyond the borders of
   Austria and Germany. Working together with strong partners, we are
   pursuing a clear goal: to design, build and operate construction projects
   in a way that protects the climate and conserves resources. More
