The publicly listed European technology group for construction services
STRABAG SE today announced its figures for the first nine months of 2026.
„Our strategy is delivering results, as reflected in our profitable
growth. We continued to achieve double-digit growth in the third quarter.
Germany remained our main growth driver, with an increase of more than
20%, even though we are still only at the beginning of a longer-term
infrastructure investment cycle in the country. With nine months behind
us, including two quarters of strong operating performance, we now have a
clearer picture of the full year. We are therefore raising our EBIT margin
guidance to 6–6.5% and confirming our output forecast of close to € 23
billion.“, explains Stefan Kratochwill, CEO of STRABAG SE.

Output volume
STRABAG SE increased its output by 14% to € 16,487.19 million in the first
nine months of 2026. Following a strong second quarter, the dynamic output
growth continued into the third quarter, with the output volume up 17%
year-on-year. Germany made the largest contribution to growth,
particularly in energy and railway infrastructure as well as high-tech
industrial construction. In the United Kingdom, both progress on major
projects as well as the acquisition of Van Elle contributed to output
growth. The core markets of Austria, the Czech Republic and Croatia also
recorded significant increases.

Order backlog
STRABAG SE’s order backlog stood at € 34,973.10 million as at 30 September
2026, an increase of 12%, or € 3.6 billion, compared with the previous
year. The largest year-on-year increases were recorded in Germany and in
the international business, for example in Australia and the Americas.
Contributing factors included several contract packages for the
construction of the Pfaffensteig Tunnel in Germany, mining contracts in
Chile worth around € 800 million, and major railway construction contracts
in Australia worth approximately € 490 million, all awarded in the first
half of 2026.

Notable new orders in the third quarter of 2026 included the construction
of a fast-charging network for electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs) and
several industrial and healthcare facilities in Germany, the replacement
of an underground railway tunnel in Berlin, and the construction of a new
twin-bore motorway tunnel on the A7 in Croatia. In Austria, STRABAG was
awarded the contract for the construction and the technical building
services (M&E) of the new central emergency department at Klinik Favoriten
hospital. The company also secured further road construction projects in
Eastern Europe, including the expansion of the A2 motorway in Poland.

Following the end of the reporting period, STRABAG, as part of a
consortium, was also confirmed as the preferred bidder for the D35
public-private partnership (PPP) project in the Czech Republic. With a
total value of approximately € 2.9 billion over the concession period, it
is the country’s largest motorway PPP project to date.

Employees
STRABAG SE employed an average of 81,695 people (FTEs) in the first nine
months of 2026, an increase of 2% compared with the same period of the
previous year. The largest increases in headcount were recorded in Germany
and the United Kingdom, primarily due to capacity expansion to deliver
major projects and as a result of the acquisitions of Van Elle and the WTE
Group. Headcount in the Americas, meanwhile, declined as major projects
progressed towards completion.

Outlook for the full year 2026
The Management Board is maintaining its 2026 output forecast, as raised in
August. Based on output performance in the year to date and the
persistently high order backlog, the output volume is expected to reach
close to € 23 billion. Higher-than-expected output contributions from
major infrastructure projects and a recovery in demand for asphalt paving
in the North + West segment are having a positive impact on earnings.
Against this backdrop, the EBIT margin for 2026 is now expected to be in
the range of 6–6.5% (previously: 5.5–6%). The forecast for net investments
(cash flow from investing activities) of a maximum of € 1.5 billion
remains unchanged. In addition to the purchase of construction machinery,
this primarily reflects acquisitions under Strategy 2030.

STRABAG SE is a European-based technology group for construction services,
a leader in innovation and financial strength. Our activities span all
areas of the construction industry and cover the entire construction value
chain. We create added value for our clients by taking an end-to-end view
of construction over the entire life cycle – from planning and design to
construction, operation and facility management to redevelopment or
demolition. In all of our work, we accept responsibility for people and
the environment: We are shaping the future of construction and are making
significant investments in our portfolio of more than 250 innovation and
400 sustainability projects. Through the hard work and dedication of our
approximately 89,000 employees, we generate an annual output volume of
around € 20 billion.

Our dense network of subsidiaries in various European countries and on
other continents extends our area of operation far beyond the borders of
Austria and Germany. We pursue a clear sustainability strategy designed to
make planning, construction and operation fit for the future.
