In 2009, BAM posted a net result of €31.3 million on a turnover of approximately €8.4 billion. The Group was hit hard – especially in the property sector – by the effects of the economic crisis. Reorganisation of property activities was unavoidable during the year. The crisis necessitated extra provisions and write-downs on projects in the property sector. However, most of the other operating companies put in strong performances in their specific market sectors. The operating companies are facing shrinking BAM started the 2010 financial year with an order book volumes, increased competition and rising standing at €11.2 billion (year-end 2008: €13.1 billion). pressure on prices in all home countries.

More information about corporate strategy can be found on page 8 of this annual report. The Group is also aiming to be well placed by 2012 to occupy a leading position in Europe as a whole. However, the extent to which the markets will recover during the period covered by BAM’s strategic agenda is not yet clear, which is one of the reasons why the decision was taken to turn to the shareholders with a rights issue so that BAM can strengthen its financial position. Nevertheless, BAM is deploying all its available resources in order to achieve its strategic objectives. BAM continued to make progress on sustainability in 2009 – a brief description of the activities undertaken can be found on page 59 of this annual report. Comprehensive information about the results achieved by BAM in relation to sustainability are set out in the Group’s separate sustainability report. BAM is focussed on corporate social responsibility across the board, with current priorities being safety, reducing CO2 emissions, and waste management.
