  • CFE Annual Report
    Annual Report 2009 129 th corporate financial year Proud of their many realisations, the teams of the CFE group are pleased to present the activity report for the year 2009. Compagnie d’Entreprises CFE SA Founded in Brussels on June 21, 1880 Headquarters: 42, avenue Herrmann-Debroux, 1160 Brussels – Belgium Company number 0400.464.795 RPM Brussels Telephone: +32 2 661 12 11 Fax: +32 2 660 77 10 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http://www.cfe.be 1 Edito As expected, the CFE group’s 2009 revenue and profit came in below those of the previous year, when it achieved its best-ever perform- ance. However, the decline in revenue (€ -125 million), operating profit (€ -19.3 million) and net after-tax profit (€ -8.2 million) was modest against the backdrop of the global economic crisis. All divisions made a positive contribution to profit. DEME deserves special recognition for again demonstrating its ability to strengthen its position in the international dredging market, fully vindicating the substantial investments made in recent years to modernise its fleet. CFE has many strengths that enable it to weather the economic crisis and move confidently into 2010. The order book, standing at € 2,024 million, is satisfactory, although construction activity is likely to decline from the 2009 level. We intend to resist the temptation to take orders at any price, concentrating instead on profit. To do this, our recent international expansion, especially in Tunisia, holds out good prospects for repositioning our activity. CFE’s broad diversity of business lines and geographical locations is an additional asset, as is our sound financial position, which shields us from liquidity problems.

  • Walloon Motorways Head Into the Future
    MARCH 13TH, 2019 1/5 PRESS RELEASE “Plan Lumières 4.0”: WALLOON MOTORWAYS HEAD INTO THE FUTURE Verlaine, March 13th, 2019 - Carlo DI ANTONIO, Walloon Minister for Mobility, and the SOFICO (Société Wallonne de Financement Complémentaire - Walloon Complementary Infrastructure Financing Company) have just allocated a contract for the design, modernization, financing, management and maintenance of public lighting installations on main roads and motorways in the Walloon region to the LuWa consortium, composed of Citelum (authorized representative), Luminus, CFE and DIF. The «Plan Lumières 4.0» (Lighting Plan 4.0), with a 20-year duration, will be executed under a PPP (public/private partnership). The contract includes the gradual commissioning of the new lighting starting on the second half of 2019 and the renewal of network infrastructure using LED lighting, i.e. around 100,000 lighting points over the first four years. “Thanks to the new light sources, i.e. the LED, and a dynamic lighting made possible by new technologies, this plan will contribute to ensure a better service to users and to significantly reduce the energy bill with a consumption cut by around 76%” underlines Carlo DI ANTONIO. Europe’s first smart and connected motorways To meet all possible usage scenarios, the lighting points will be equipped with various remote management systems and several sensor types. The fully connected, smart network will enable light intensity to be modulated in accordance with traffic and various usage scenarios in addition to remote management via the new PEREX traffic management and monitoring center, located in Daussoulx (Namur province), when needed: weather conditions, road works, accidents, etc.

  • PRESS RELEASE Tuesday 22 September 2020
    PRESS RELEASE Tuesday 22 September 2020 Sustainable mobility is a constant priority at CFE Mobility is one of the main priorities in CFE’s sustainability strategy. Mobility Week (16-22 September) focuses on sustainable travel and on reducing CO2 emissions – challenges that the CFE group also intends to address. And not just this week, but also as part of its day-to-day operations on site, in the offices and on the road. CFE sees the European Mobility Week as an ideal opportunity to encourage as many employees as possible to think about the way they get about. Because this is also a crucial issue for the construction industry. CFE wants to set an example: in the race to achieve a climate-neutral working environment, reducing its carbon footprint is a priority aim. In terms of mobility, for example, the group focuses a great deal of attention on the transportation of materials and waste. Piet Dejonghe, CEO of the CFE group, explains the actions taken: “Thanks to the synergies between the CFE group companies and the use of cutting-edge planning tools, we’re reducing the number of journeys and con- sequently lowering our emissions. The gradual transition to less polluting vehicles in our fleet, including cars, is the second action area. Finally, we’re also working to promote alternative modes of transport, and Mobility Week is an excellent opportunity for us to raise awareness about this.” Ambitious mobility plan In early July CFE unveiled a mobility plan for the whole group. CFE’s aim is to make commuting as sustainable as possible with mobility solutions that adapt to individual needs.

  • PRESS RELEASE Tuesday 31 March 2020 – 6.30 Pm CET Regulated Information/Inside Information
    PRESS RELEASE Tuesday 31 March 2020 – 6.30 pm CET Regulated information/Inside information Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic In this global health crisis, the CFE Group’s absolute priority is to protect the health of its employees and that of its customers and subcontractors. In this context, CFE has issued measures that are necessary, such as the temporary shutdown on numerous construction sites, travel restrictions, generalization of telework, strict compliance with the rules on social distancing, and teleconferencing. The activities of DEME are impacted by the seclusion measures, border closures and the disruption of certain supply chains. Those measures will have a considerable impact on revenue and order intake, without the financial impact on the results being quantifiable as yet. The sale of the 12.5% stake in Merkur Offshore is still planned for the second quarter of 2020. In Contracting, the execution of the construction sites in Belgium and Luxembourg has been suspended since 18 March, whereas in Poland activity continues at a lower level. Projects in the Multitechnics and Rail & Utilities clusters are also on hold, save for a few exceptions. CFE Contracting expects an extremely low level of activity in the second quarter of 2020. After the seclusion period, the duration of which is not yet known, projects will probably be started up again gradually. BPI is also feeling the impact of the pandemic, with delays in the delivery of buildings, a temporary slowdown in the rate of sales, and the inability to execute non-urgent notarial deeds. The CFE Group has substantial cash reserves, with available cash and unused confirmed credit lines totalling nearly € 0.9 billion as at December 31, 2019.

  • BPI Sells Its Holding in the Companies Developing the Oosteroever Site in Ostend to the Versluys Group
    BPI sells its holding in the companies developing the Oosteroever site in Ostend to the Versluys Group JOINT PRESS RELEASE BY THE VERSLUYS GROUP & BPI/CFE Ostend/Brussels – Friday, 10 March 2017 The disposal of the shares held by BPI in the companies developing the Oosteroever site will allow the Versluys Group – whose shareholders are Bart Versluys and Marc Coucke – to take up whole ownership of the new residential development in the port of Ostend (each party previously held a 50% stake). The acquisition of these shares will cost € 24,000,000. After seven years of productive and cordial collaboration, the Versluys Group is concluding this transaction in order to develop and market the “Oosteroever” site independently. BPI sees it as an opportunity that will enable it to reinvest in various major urban development projects. Jacques Lefèvre – CEO of BPI: “When we decided to get involved in the urban development of the city of Ostend in 2010 by taking part in two public private partnership (PPP) procedures – “Baelskaai” and “Vuurtorendok” – collaboration between the Versluys Group and BPI seemed a logical step. The Versluys Group had extensive knowledge of the local market. We possess expertise in a number of areas, such as experience of large‐scale urban development projects, including one on the coast (“La Réserve” in Knokke), the know‐how of our general contracting subsidiary MBG in the construction of high‐rise buildings and an extremely solid financial position thanks to the support of our publicly listed parent company CFE. The modernist vision of Bart Versluys and the capabilities of his team contributed to the success of the venture.” Bart Versluys – CEO BouwGroep Versluys: “As CEO of the Versluys Group, I expressly wish to thank the BPI, CFE and Ackermans & van Haaren team for the many years of productive collaboration on the Oosteroever project.
