Gerrit Witzel, Chairman of the Heijmans Executive Board:

'The past year was decidedly difficult. The housing market continued to deteriorate in the second half of the year. As announced at the end of January, in view of these developments, we decided to write down on some property assets   to match with the new reality in the housing market. The development of results in Non-Residential Building and prefab was very disappointing and we have introduced serious measures there to reverse the tide. In the coming year, we have to put considerable energy to make additional quality improvements. We are clearly satisfied with the results in Infra, Residential Building and Technical Services. Our integrated approach does work, as shown by the acquisition of projects such as the A4 Delft to Schiedam project and the Rotterdam municipal offices. In addition, this strategy as well as our company's healthy financial position form a solid basis for the realisation of our strategic ambitions. Based on this confidence, we propose a dividend, similar to last year, of € 0.35 per share.'
