Preliminary report on the 2005 financial year
- Substantial increases in output volume and orders received
- Net profit up 30% on prior year
- Year-end cash flow higher than expected
Overall, 2005 was a successful year for Bilfinger Berger. Output volume and orders received reached new record levels. Operating profit (EBITA) and net profit increased substantially compared with the prior year despite unexpected charges from the Australian building-construction business. Liquidity at the end of the year developed better than expected. We successfully continued our development into a Multi Service Group with further significant steps.
