   Output / order backlog in millions of €

   The publicly listed European technology group for construction services
   STRABAG SE today announced its figures for the first quarter of 2026.
   “STRABAG has made a successful start to the 2026 financial year. Although
   the cold temperatures in January and February meant that transportation
   infrastructure projects got under way later than usual, we nevertheless
   managed to increase our output and further expand our order backlog. This
   demonstrates the solid demand in our core markets and confirms that our
   broad positioning enables us to effectively offset such fluctuations”,
   explains Stefan Kratochwill, CEO of STRABAG SE.

   Output volume
   Despite prolonged cold spells in parts of Europe, the STRABAG SE Group
   increased output by 4% to € 3,869.73 million in the first quarter of 2026.
   In Poland and Austria in particular, output remained below the prior-year
   level due to the adverse weather conditions. This development was more
   than offset by significant growth in Germany and the Czech Republic,
   however. In addition, notable increases in output were also recorded in
   Croatia and Slovenia.

   Order backlog
   The order backlog of STRABAG SE continued to grow during the first three
   months of the year and amounted to € 33,062.79 million at the end of the
   first quarter of 2026. This represents an increase of 18% year on year and
   of 5% compared to year-end 2025. The strongest growth was recorded in the
   Americas as well as in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany.

   Significant order intakes in the first quarter of 2026 included mining
   contracts in Chile with a total volume of around € 800 million, as well as
   major mobility infrastructure projects in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and
   Poland. In Austria, contracts were secured for an education campus as part
   of a public-private partnership project and for a data centre, among other
   things, while in Germany public-sector and commercial building
   construction projects in particular – including the sustainable B’Ella
   urban development at Berlin Südkreuz – contributed to the increase in the
   order backlog.

   Employees
   In the first quarter of 2026, the STRABAG SE Group employed an average of
   78,151 people (FTE), an increase of 2% compared to the previous year. The
   increase in headcount was primarily recorded in Poland, Germany and the
   Czech Republic and reflects the positive development of the order backlog.

   Outlook 2026
   Based on the figures for the first quarter, the Management Board continues
   to uphold its targets for the 2026 financial year unchanged. Output is
   expected to reach approximately € 22 billion, representing growth of
   around 8% compared to the previous year. From today’s perspective, the
   EBIT margin is expected to be within a range of 5.0% to 5.5%. Net
   investments (cash flow from investing activities) are forecast at no more
   than € 1,500 million and, alongside the acquisition of construction
   machinery, particularly reflect planned acquisitions as part of Strategy
   2030.

   With regard to the possible effects of the Iran war, it remains to be seen
   how long the conflict will continue. Wherever possible, STRABAG uses price
   escalation clauses in contracts and pursues a local and long-term
   procurement policy.

   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 89,000 employees, we generate an annual output volume of
   around € 20 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
