Bert van der Els, Chairman of the Heijmans Executive Board:
"The positive operating results and the company's financial health give us confidence for the future. The situation in the housing market remains dramatic and this has led to write-downs on our property holdings and a reorganisation at Residential Building. At the same time, the measures we have taken at Non-Residential have not yet yielded visible results. Roads and Civil Engineering, both in the Netherlands and abroad, performed well overall, partly on the back of innovations and new forms of contract. The National Military Museum in Soesterberg, the Energiefabriek in Tilburg and the Smart Highway signal a new and distinctive signature in these difficult times."
