Strabag: Construction group Strabag generated an output volume of € 3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024, a slight increase of 2% compared to the same period of the previous year. The order backlog as at 31 March 2024 remained stable at a high level of € 24.6 billion year-on-year. Compared to the end of 2023, this figure grew by 5%, attributable to successful project acquisitions in the first quarter of the current year. New projects include the construction of a shipping lock in Kriegenbrunn (Germany), the expansion of a rapid transit line in Toronto (Canada) and the construction of a bridge over the river Oder near Nędza (Poland).

UBM: As expected, the first quarter failed to bring a trend reversal on the real estate market, but real estate developer UBM can report on progress. UBM Development generated Total Output of €85.0m in the first quarter of 2024, compared with €53.5m in the comparative prior year period. EBT declined from €1.1m in the previous year to €-7.3m. “Our focus for the current year remains consistently on liquidity over profitability. In this respect, our first quarter performance was satisfactory,“ indicated UBM CEO Thomas G. Winkler. UBM expects a significant year-on-year reduction of the loss in 2024, but the protection of liquidity has priority. A return to the profit zone can be expected in 2025, most likely due to the growing supply gap as well as the steady increase in rent levels in all UBM markets. In view of the current market reorganisation, there can be no doubt that the remaining market participants will be able to enjoy above-average benefits.

EBITDA went from EUR 5.6 million to EUR 3.8 million and EBIT from EUR 5.3 million to EUR 3.5 million. Total revenues fell by 6 per cent to EUR 12.1 million.
