Results for Højgaard Holding and Højgaard Industri for the first three quarters are in line with expectations.
Højgaard Holding A/S' own cash resources are considered satisfactory.
The group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 15 million, compared to a profit of DKK 181 million for the same period in the previous year. The lower results, compared to the same period last year, can be attributed to lower results in the jointly controlled enterprise MT Højgaard.
The group's equity stood at DKK 450 million at 30 September 2016, and the book value corresponds to DKK 107 per share of DKK 20.
The MT Højgaard group still expects revenue at the level of DKK 6.8 billion. Expectations for operating profit (before special items) are now lowered to a level of DKK 75 million from previous at the level of DKK 225 million.
For 2016, in addition to our share in the MT Højgaard group's profit after tax and minority interests of 54 %, the Højgaard Holding group still expects a small positive result before tax.
