HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft: HOCHTIEF expects to comfortably outperform its earnings forecast for the 2010 consolidated financial statements

The Executive Board will present to the Supervisory Board consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 which, after their final adoption, are expected to report profit before taxes and consolidated net profit on a level well above the prior-year figures. This applies despite the currently published adverse effects on the profits at Australian subsidiary Leighton. New orders and order backlog of the HOCHTIEF Group are also well above the previous forecast. In addition, sales will exceed the prior-year figure. Nearly all corporate divisions and a strong Australian dollar contribute to this growth.
