- Production output up to EUR 6.7 bn
- Further growth in order backlog to EUR 8.5 bn
- EBIT improves to EUR 158.4m
Vienna, 24.02.2025 – The first glance at the 2024 results is encouraging: PORR made gains at every level and landed exciting new orders. Both the order backlog and the order intake rose. EBIT increased by a solid 12.9%. The company sees opportunities for growth in infrastructure construction, as well as in the sectors of data centres, healthcare and residential construction, with the latter now picking up again.
“PORR delivered in the 2024 financial year: The EBIT margin stood at 2.6% and the order situation is also positive. The numerous new orders, particularly in infrastructure, but also in sectors such as industrial construction and healthcare, demonstrate PORR’s strength – namely the breadth of its portfolio”, explained PORR CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss.
The order backlog grew by 1.1% and remains at a high level of EUR 8,643m. The order intake increased as well – despite a high comparable value in the previous year – and demonstrates the company’s ongoing strong position in civil engineering, accounting for 55.4% of output, and industrial engineering, where output doubled. PORR managed to increase its production output in every market, especially in Romania and Austria; across the Group it rose by 2.6% to EUR 6,747m.
Leading position in Europe
The major projects recently acquired illustrate the comprehensive expertise that has earned PORR a leading position in Europe. These include a large data centre in Germany worth almost EUR 200m, the renovation of the Lueg Bridge in Austria, a 34 km high-pressure natural gas pipeline and a factory for wind power components in Poland, as well as the expansion of the motorway bypass around Prague in the Czech Republic. The total order intake thereby amounted to EUR 6,846m.
In the 2024 financial year, EBIT rose by 12.9% to EUR 158.4m, not least due to the increase in output and efficiency. This also meant a clear improvement in the EBIT margin, which climbed to 2.6%. In line with the dividend policy, the payout ratio remains at 30 to 50%.
In 2025, CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss continues to see civil engineering as a key growth driver: Significant increases are expected in Poland and Romania in particular. In Austria, residential construction is slowly picking up again as well.
The final figures for the 2024 financial year will be published in the PORR Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 on 27 March 2025.
