Bilfinger Berger increases dividend to €1.25 per share:
Shareholders profit from successful financial year 2006

Bilfinger Berger looks back at a successful year in 2006. Output volume, orders received and order backlog reached record levels and earnings rose at a disproportionately high rate.

At its meeting on March 14, 2007, Bilfinger Berger’s Supervisory Board adopted the financial statements for the 2006 financial year. Net profit for the year amounted to €92.1 million (2005: €66.5 million). It will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2007 that an increased dividend of €1.25 per share (2005: €1.00) be distributed. Dividend distribution for 2006 thus rises to €46.5 million (2005: €37.2 million), which represents a distribution ratio of 50% of net profit.

In the current financial year, Bilfinger Berger plans renewed growth in output volume and further increases in both EBITA and net profit.
