Thanks to historically low interest rates and firmer consumer confidence, investments picked up again. Our industry profited mainly from the strong growth of the housing market. The infrastructure and non-residential markets are also showing tentative signs of recovery. TBI achieved a modest improvement, with its operating income rising to €1,573 million in 2016. A substantial provision for losses on the project for the European Patent Office (EPO), however, meant we closed 2016 with a negative result from normal activities of €7 million. After adjustment for this provision, the result from normal activities was €15 million positive. TBI’s financial position remains strong, with a solvency ratio of 36%. The EPO project unequivocally demonstrates the overriding need for active and professional risk management in combination with strict project control when working on high-risk design and build contracts.
