Reconciliation of profit from operating activities to operating earnings (EBITA)
| (EUR thousand) | Q1 2008 | Q1 2007 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit from operating activities | 25,050 | 29,912 |
| + Net income from participating interests | 96,078 | 36,002 |
| - Non-operating earnings | (+) 768 | (+) 114 |
| + Interest credited* | 9,992 | 5,900 |
| Operating earnings (EBITA) | 131,888 | 71,928 |
*The change in Group structure has resulted in an adjustment relating
to the interest credit. Unlike in the previous year's published
reports, an interest credit is only recognized for the divisions
within the Construction module, i.e. Americas, Asia Pacific and
Europe.
Undiluted and diluted earnings per share
| (EUR thousand) | Q1 2008 | Q1 2007 |
|---|---|---|
| Consolidated net profit (EUR thousand) | 32,058 | 9,567 |
| Number of shares in circulation (weighted average) | 69947000 | 65687941 |
| Earnings per share | 0.46 | 0.15 |
Earnings per share can become diluted as a result of potential shares
(mainly stock options and convertible bonds). HOCHTIEF?s share-based
payment arrangements do not have a dilutive effect on earnings.
Consequently, diluted and undiluted earnings per share are identical.
