Quarterly Report
Vienna - STRABAG SE, the publicly listed European-based technology group for
 construction services, today announced its figures for the first nine months of
 2021. "Thanks to another record order backlog, we believe we are well on track
 to exceed the previous year's output volume for the full year. The positive
 trend in output volume to date has been confirmed, as has our assumption that
 prices will stabilise at a high level in autumn," says Thomas Birtel, CEO of
 STRABAG SE.
Output volume
STRABAG SE generated a 4 % higher output volume of EUR 11,518.90 million in the
 first nine months of 2021, continuing the previous trend of moderate output
 growth from an already high level. This is mainly due to the upturn in the home
 market of Austria following a temporary suspension of construction work in the
 wake of the coronavirus crisis in the same period of the previous year. The
 execution of large infrastructure projects in the UK is also having a positive
 impact on this figure.
Order backlog
At EUR 21,553.88 million, the order backlog as at 30 September 2021 was up 14 %
 compared with 30 September 2020 - another record high following the announcement
 in the first half of the year that the order backlog had exceeded the EUR 21
 billion threshold. In Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary,
 the group's five largest markets by output volume, the order books increased
 thanks to several new projects in a wide range of sectors.
Employees
The number of employees decreased very slightly by 1 % to 73,578. This was
 almost exclusively due to the near completion of tunnelling work at the Alto
 Maipo hydropower megaproject in Chile. Meanwhile, only minor changes were
 reported in the home markets of Germany and Austria, albeit in different
 directions. The other markets also exhibited mixed developments.
Outlook
The Management Board continues to expect an output volume above the previous
 year's level in the 2021 financial year, i.e. above EUR 15.4 billion. With
 prices for construction and raw materials stabilising at a high level in the
 third quarter of 2021, as expected, the EBIT margin should be close to the
 target of 4 % set for 2022.
