Introduction

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have the pleasure to present the third edition of the Polish construction companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects report, analysing the condition of the 15 largest construction companies operating on the Polish market based on their revenue, and describing their prospects for business development.

In 2014, a recovery was observed, accompanied with positive change in market outlook. Total revenue of the 15 largest companies increased by nearly PLN 2.5 billion, i.e. 9% vs. 2013. The growth correlated with an improved operating performance and net profit of the top fifteen. Capitalisation of the largest construction companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and included in the ranking was only slightly higher at the end of 2014 than in the previous year.

The reversal of the previously negative trend resulted mostly from the completion of unprofitable road construction contracts, which materially affected the performance of most companies in the past. The infrastructure segment continued to play a key role in construction and assembly related production, although railway, industrial and hydrotechnical construction was the main driver of the entire sector’s growth. Once tenders regarding contracts co-funded by the EU budget under the new financial perspective 2014-2020 are accepted, the increasing trend in the sector should be consitent.

The first part of our report is a financial analysis of companies in the construction sector in Poland, based on 15 entities that have managed to build the strongest position in the market. We analyse their revenue, operating margins, net profits, debt, and revenue structure by geography and by type.

The second part comprises a high-level analysis of the prospects for the industry’s short-term and medium-term development, including presentation of planned expenditure in each market segment, bankruptcy statistics and employment trends in the construction sector. This part of the report is concluded with a summary of the present condition and key growth factors for the sector from the viewpoint of the largest construction companies in Poland.

In the final part of the report we briefly examine the characteristics of the business activity of the 15 most important market players in 2014.

It includes crucial information concerning the scope of their activities, ownership structure and detailed financial data derived from their annual financial statements.

When preparing the report, we referred to commonly available financial data or information provided to us directly by the entities presented herein.

We hope that you will find the report Polish Construction Companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects useful and that it will give you better understanding of the current construction market position, indicating challenges and opportunities faced by construction companies in the years to come.

As always, we are open to your ideas and suggestions regarding any of the presented topics.

Table 1.1: Ranking of construction companies in Poland by revenue in 2014 (PLN’000)

1.1. Ranking of the largest construction companies by 2014 revenueIn 2014, the combined revenue of the 15 largest companies was PLN 28.5 billion which constitutes a growth of PLN 2.5 billion, i.e. 9.4% compared to 2013. In this year’s ranking, the Skanska Group came first with revenue of PLN 5.1 billion and 16.5% growth. The Budimex Group, controlled by Ferrovial of Spain, came second with revenue of PLN 4.9 billion and 4.2% growth, compared to 2013. Austrian Strabag was also in the top three, which was the only company that saw a revenue drop in 2014 (revenue decreased 5% to PLN 3.1 billion). Revenue was, however, sufficient to maintain its position from the previous year. Apart from the Skanska Group, the largest revenue growth by value was seen by the Erbud Group and Torpol Group, whose revenue increased by PLN 468 million and PLN 360 million, respectively. The Torpol Group also saw the largest revenue growth expressed as a percentage, while revenue generated by the Mostostal Zabrze Group increased by 50%. Thanks to the good performance, both groups debuted in this year’s ranking.

The Polimex- Mostostal Group reported the biggest year-on-year drop in revenue (PLN 261 million), but it has managed to maintain the fourth place that it occupied in the previous year. Apart from Polimex – Mostostal Group (an 11% drop in revenue), the largest revenue drop in excess of 5% was seen by the Mostostal Warszawa Group and Warbud S.A. (7.6% and 6.4% year-on-year, respectively).

Please note that in 2014, the number of companies that generated revenue growth was much bigger than in the previous year. Only four companies experienced a decrease in revenue. At the same time, the revenue of 11 companies increased.

Last year’s ranking was the opposite case.The average increase in revenue of 9% generated by the largest entities in the construction industry confirms the development of the construction market and reflects the growth seen in the industry in 2014.

1.2. Ranking of the largest construction companies by 2014 operating marginThe operating margin earned by the biggest construction companies, expressed as the operating revenue less costs of sales (excluding other operating revenue and expenses), indicates that the revenue increase in 2014 was accompanied by a growth in the profit of core operations. The average operating margin of the largest companies increased by nearly PLN 40 million, with a profit on core operations for the largest companies increased by nearly PLN 40 million in 2014 (compared to a PLN 117 million increase in 2013). As in the preceding year, the Budimex Group recorded the biggest operating margin and earned a profit on sales of PLN 433 million. The Trakcja Group came second with an operating margin of PLN 202 million, i.e. more than double the previous year. Warbud S.A. took third place, having generated an operating margin of PLN 136 million (more than PLN 66 million lower than the Trakcja

Group). Only one entity in the ranking, the Polimex-Mostostal Group, incurred an operating loss (PLN 202 million) in 2014.

Chart 1.2: Operating margin of the largest construction companies (in percent)

Source: Financial statements for the years 2014-2013

Furthermore, 13 ranked companies have managed to improve their operating margin and in only one case it is worse than for the preceding 12 months. The Mostostal Warszawa Group saw the biggest growth (in excess of PLN 258 million), while the Polimex-Mostostal Group saw the biggest decrease (in excess of PLN 226 million). The ranking indicates that ten of thirteen entities that disclosed their data have generated a profit on sales both in 2013 and in 2014.

The average operating margin was positive and amounted to 5.86% in 2014, indicating a growth in excess of 2 p.p. vs. 2013. Warbud S.A. had the best result with an operating margin of 12.96%.

The Trakcja Group was second with an operating margin of 12.62%, followed by the Budimex Group with the positive ratio of 8.74%. The Polimex-Mostostal Group occupied the opposite end of the scale with the operating margin of minus 9.59%.

In summary: in 2014, along with a growth in revenue, profitability of operations of the largest companies further improved, although not as rapidly as in the previous year (an increase by 5.69 p.p.) when the number of unprofitable contracts performed by companies was significantly limited.

1.3. Ranking of the largest construction companies by 2014 net profit The net profit is a material indicator reflecting the overall condition of construction companies. The median net profit of the key 13 companies that disclosed their data for 2014 was positive and totalled PLN 26 million, i.e. a growth in excess of PLN 14 million compared with PLN 12 million in 2013.

The Budimex Capital Group earned the highest net profit of PLN 194 million which represents a 36% year-on-year decrease. However, the profit for 2013 included a gain from selling shares in the subsidiary Budimex Danwood. Following elimination of the transaction balance, the net profit of the Budimex Group for 2014 improved by approx. 34%. The Strabag Capital Group came second with a net profit of PLN 148 million, and the Trakcja Capital Group was third with a net profit

of PLN 50 million. Performance of Warbud S.A. was similar with a net profit of PLN 48 million. The Polimex-Mostostal Group generated a loss of PLN 153 million and closed the ranking.

As many as ten ranked companies that disclosed their data earned a net profit, whereas three incurred a loss. In the previous year, ten entities had generated a net profit, but the average net profit of all ranked companies had been lower. Additionally, please note that ten companies earned a net profit both in 2013 and 2014.

The average net profit expressed as a percentage in 2014 was slightly higher than in the previous year and amounted to 1.5%. The Strabag Group and Warbud S.A. were nearly equal and came first with net profitability of 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively. The Budimex Group came third with a net profitability of 3.9%.

The aforementioned data shows that, similarly to the sales result, net profitability of most ranked companies has improved. Thus, events not directly related with their core business and performance on financial operations have positively affected the overall performance (net profitability doubled year-on-year, while the gross margin growth rate was slightly lower).

1.4. Debt of 15 biggest construction companies in 2014Analysis of the debt ratios shows that the biggest construction companies’ debt was relatively high in 2014 (similar to 2013). In 2014, the average debt (weighted by revenue) remained flat and amounted to 78%. In the aforementioned period, six companies increased and six reduced the percentage of debt in their financing structure.

Similarly to 2013, six entities used debt capital to the extent corresponding to at least 75% of their assets.

In 2014, as in 2013, the PBG Group has the highest percentage debt with the total debt constituting 131% of its total assets (i.e. it exceeded the value of the company’s assets by 31%) and has increased by 9% compared to 2013. Following the loss of liquidity in 2012, the company had been put into liquidation with an arrangement option, which was voted for by its creditors in 2015. Among the remaining companies, Erbud had the largest debt increase, from 66% at the end of 2013 to 73% at the end of 2014. The growth in the debt of the other companies did not exceed 5 p.p. in 2014.

Table 1.5: Capital expenditure of the largest companies in nominal terms (PLN’000)

Among the ranked companies, the Mostostal Zabrze Group and Trakcja Group had the lowest debt/equity ratio of 51% and 53%, respectively.

At the end of 2014, the average debt/equity ratio of the biggest construction companies remained unchanged compared to the previous year. The real picture is distorted by the PBG Group, which has both the highest debt/equity ratio and saw the biggest growth among all analysed companies.

1.5. Capital expenditure to sales ratio of the largest companies in 2014 The capital expenditure (expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) to sales ratio of companies in the construction industry is usually relatively low due to high sales volume and relatively low capital expenditure necessary to provide construction services. In 2014, the total capital expenditure of the biggest companies was PLN 252 million, i.e. nearly 33% lower year-on-year. It is also worth noting that only six construction companies reduced their capital expenditure compared with the previous year.

2014 2013

As regards nominal capital expenditure, the Budimex Group was the leader in 2014 with the total of PLN 48 million (i.e. a 173% increase compared to 2013). The Polimex-Mostostal Group with a total expenditure of PLN 27 million (a 9% drop year-on-year) and the Trakcja Group with the total expenditure of PLN 26 million (a 41% increase year-on-year) came second and third, respectively.

The general drop in year-on-year capital expenditure resulted mostly from a significant reduction in capital expenditure of the PBG Group, which used to be the ranking leader in this respect. Having eliminated the PBG Group from the ranking, the general level of capital expenditure among the largest construction companies increased by 20% compared to 2013.

In 2014, the capital expenditure to revenue ratio was 1.13% and was almost 0.7 p.p. lower than in 2013. The drop resulted from a significant reduction in capital expenditure in the PBG Group vs. 2013 on the one hand, and the general increase in revenue generated by construction companies on the other. The Mostostal Zabrze Group saw the highest capital expenditure to sales ratio.

In 2014, the Unibep Group had the lowest capital expenditure to sales ratio (0.3% in 2014 vs. 1.27% in 2013) with the Mostostal Warszawa Group coming second last (0.55% vs. 0.78% in 2013).

Table 1.6.1: Export sales revenue of the largest construction companies in nominal terms (PLN’000)

Financial statements for the years 2014-2013

1.6. Revenue of the largest construction companies by geography and by type in 2014

1.6.1 Revenue by geography The largest construction companies operating in Poland operate also on foreign markets, but their export sales volume is relatively small. The median revenue generated by the biggest companies abroad amounted to PLN 184 million and was PLN 62 million lower than in 2013, marking a 25% year-on-year drop. The Trakcja Group generated the highest foreign revenue amounting to PLN 566 million, i.e. 22% higher than in 2013. The Group operates on the Lithuanian market. Polimex-Mostostal Group with a total revenue of PLN 384 million (a 35% drop year-on-year) was second

and the Trakcja Group with a total revenue of PLN 319 million (a 25% increase year-on-year) came third. Export operations of the Polish construction companies have focused on the neighbouring markets, mostly Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Germany.

Chart 1.6.1: Percentage share of export sales in total sales of the largest companies in 2014

Source: Financial statements for the years 2014-2013

2014 2013

On average, export sales revenue amounted to 11% of total operating revenue (4 p.p. lower than in 2013). Export sales of three entities was in excess of 30% of total sales revenue (the Trakcja Group with 35%, the Unibep Group and the Mostostal Zabrze Group with 30% each).

Sales analysis by geography indicates that the number of entities in the construction sector that find their clients abroad has been increasing, as they search for new markets to diversify their operational risk. In light of the expected reduction in new investments once the EU funds for the 2014-2020 perspective are consumed, the trend may further increase.

2014 2013

In nominal terms, the Mostostal Zabrze Group and Polimex-Mostostal Group had the largest share in other non-construction revenue in 2014 with PLN 681 million and PLN 427 million, respectively. As compared to 2013, the average weighted share of other operating revenue expressed as a percentage dropped from 17.5% to 13.3%. In 2014, in most cases, the share of construction and assembly services as a percentage of total revenue was in the range of 80-100%. The Mostostal Zabrze Group remains the entity with the most diversified operations (79%) including, along with construction, assembly and production.

In 2014, of the twelve companies analysed above that generated revenue on other operations, just three managed to increase the percentage share of revenue from non-construction operations as a percentage of total revenue, compared to 2013. The main reason was a growth in revenue generated by the largest construction companies on construction and assembly in 2014.

1.7. Market capitalisation of the largest construction companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange as at 31 December 2014The improving investor sentiment regarding companies indexed with WIG-Budownictwo (WIG BUD) has slightly slowed down in 2014.

In 2014, the WIG Budownictwo index decreased by 5% compared to 2013, while the main WIG index was close to the previous year’s level at the end of 2014.

Out of the 15 biggest construction companies, as many as 11 were listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2014, and we used them as our basis for the capitalisation ranking. At the end of 2014, the combined market value of the eleven construction companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange was PLN 6.1 billion, i.e. PLN 0.2 billion higher than the combined market value of these companies at the end of 2013. Expressed as a percentage, the total capitalisation increased by 4%.

Chapter 2. Prospects for development of construction companies in Poland

Polish construction companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects 27

Construction Total economy

In the years to come, the construction engineering market shall grow the fastest, mostly thanks to an inflow of funds from the EU. The growth in this segment should peak in the years 2016-2018. The market of building construction shall increase too, in the coming years, although the growth will be slower. We assume the increase shall include the office, housing and warehousing segments.

2.1 IntroductionThe second part of the report begins with an analysis of the key factors shaping the construction sector and a presentation of the changes taking place in the sector as seen through statistics on bankruptcies and employment in construction companies. Further herein we will discuss the characteristics and current conditions of each segment in the construction sector and analyse planned expenditures in the short- and medium-term perspective. This part of the report is concluded with a summary of the present condition and key growth factors for the sector from the viewpoint of representatives of the largest construction companies in Poland.

Following a period of slowdown in 2012-2013 resulting from the completion of large capital projects included in the previous EU perspective and organisation of the EURO 2012 tournament, the construction industry in Poland has been recovering.

Despite its growth in 2014 being very small (0.4%), the prospects are positive and the growth should accelerate in the coming years.

A number of signals from the market indicate an improvement in the standing of the construction sector. Since 2014, a significant decrease in the number of bankruptcies announced by construction companies has been observed. Additionally, in the initial months of 2015, a slow increase in employment has been observed, accompanied with further projections of employment growth.1 In the years to come, following the expected commencement of infrastructural investments, an increased labour demand is predicted, in particular in relation to road construction, which may even result in a labour shortage. The economic climate indicator as examined by the Main Statistical Office has confirmed the reversal of the negative trend in the construction sector. Since the beginning of 2013, the indicator for the sector has been growing, having outgrown the indicator for the entire economy in mid-2014.

Drawing the right conclusions from the previous EU financial perspective is of key importance. We must avoid another accumulation of projects that would generate cyclical speculation on the labour market, to include costs of labour and materials, and finally the costs of projects.

The inflow of new EU funds shall be the strongest incentive improving the condition of the infrastructural construction segment in the coming years. Under the new 2014-2020 financial perspective, Poland shall receive a record amount of funds EUR 120.1 billion. The amount mostly includes funds under the Cohesion Policy (EUR 82.5 billion), Common Agricultural Policy (EUR 32.1 billion) and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EUR 0.5 billion). The construction sector shall mostly use funds under the Cohesion Policy. Significant portion of EU funding will be spend on infrastructural construction projects.

Representatives of the biggest construction companies see new opportunities offered under the new EU financial perspective. In order to avoid the accumulation of projects already experienced with investments carried out for EURO 2012, the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways has already accepted tenders for PLN 30 billion out of the total of PLN 107 billion planned for investments to be carried out in the years 2014-2025 (as at 11 September 2015).

The attitude of PKP PLK, which, by the end of August, failed to call for any tenders under the new perspective, gives rise to concerns. In order to counteract the anxiety, PKP PLK has announced the Great Railway Investment Campaign, which includes initiatives aimed at improving cooperation with contractors and accelerating the tender procedures. The introduction of a two-stage procedure, additional tender evaluation criteria (along with the price) and advance payments for contracts, payments for materials stored at the construction site or partial payments for the performed work will be the measures adopted to achieve the improvement.

A strong growth in demand observed since 2014 has been the factor of crucial importance for positive prospects of the construction sector. The current macro-economic standing accompanied with access to government subsidies provides grounds for stabilisation in the housing segment in the nearest future.

This has been supported by the record area of office space constructed (622,000 sq. m.). Based on the analysed number of continued and planned investments in the portfolios of construction companies, the coming quarters should support the current positive trend.

In the coming years, some construction companies are planning to further diversify their business through expanding their construction services onto new construction market sectors or developing new non-construction business.

Additionally, certain companies see their potential in geographical diversification, and are planning investments in countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania or Hungary, as well as in Western Europe and Scandinavia.

All of the aforementioned factors are very promising for the Polish construction industry which is entering a new period marked by great opportunities for development.In the next section, we will try to summarise the current opportunities and describe planned directions for market development.

2.2. Key factors in the development of the construction market in PolandIn the coming years, the condition of the construction sector shall be determined by both the economic growth in Poland and infrastructural investments co-financed with EU funds under the new 2014-2020 financial perspective, as well as with domestic funds.

Economic growthIn 2014, following an increase in domestic demand, the Polish economy saw a growth of approx. 3.5% after a GDP growth slowdown seen in the years 2012-2013. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, in 2015-2018 the average annual GDP growth will reach 3.15%. The future increase in GDP shall be supported by large investments related to the new EU perspective, a growth in net exports, private consumption, the improved standing of the labour market and low interest rates. In a longer run, the level of economic growth in Poland shall get closer to that observed in Western European countries, which will determine further GDP increase. The process is expected to be slow, though, in light of the current condition of the global economy and absence of rapid reforms that could materially increase employee productivity.

Public debtAbility to co-fund infrastructural projects from the national and local budgets depends significantly on the public debt level. At the end of 2014, the public debt to GDP ratio was 47.7%. According to the public debt management strategy for 2015-2018 proposed by the Minister of Finance in 2015, the public debt to GDP ratio shall remain at 48% and further decrease to 44.5% in 2018.

EU fundsThe inflow of EU funds under the 2014-2020 financial perspective is a major factor underlying the development of the Polish construction market. The funds allocated to Poland under the cohesion policy amount to EUR 82.5 billion and include EUR 45.6 billion to be used for subsidies under National Operational Programmes.

Allocation of EU funds under National Operational Programmes under 2014-2020 financial perspective

Source: Ministry of Infrastructure and Development

For the second consecutive time Poland has been among largest beneficiaries of EU funds. Funds allocated to Poland under the cohesion policy for the years 2014-2020 are EUR 15.2 billion higher than those allocated in the previous perspective.

National Operational ProgrammesUnder the new financial perspective, certain funds have been allocated to six National Operational Programmes. The most funds (EUR 27.4 billion) have been allocated to the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme, whose priorities include the promotion of sustainable transport and the elimination of infrastructure gaps. Under the Programme, a total of EUR 19.8 billion shall be used to build roads, develop railways, urban and aviation infrastructure. Certain expenses can be funded from the Eastern Poland Operational Programme as well.

Regional programmesFunds for infrastructural projects can be obtained also from Regional Operational Programmes for 16 provinces, with a total value of EUR 31.2 billion. This includes EUR 4.8 billion to be used for the development of transport infrastructure.

The Connecting Europe Facility is an additional source of infrastructural funds, supporting pan-European investments (transport, power engineering and telecommunications). Under this initiative, Poland can obtain EUR 4.1 billion to co-fund transport investments until 2016. So far, EUR 2 billion has been used from the pool assigned to Polish projects.

It is estimated that the budget for transport infrastructure allocated from EU funds (including CEF) of approx. EUR 15 billion will be earmarked for roads and EUR 10.2 billion for railways (in accordance with the 60% : 40% proportion of funds allocated in compliance with the Partnership Agreement).

Market suffers from the shortage of talents, in particular with regard to railways, electrics, telecoms, utilities or hydro engineering specialists. Qualified production staff is also in high demand. Firms in need of new hires must remember that the Polish labour market has been turning into employee’s market and adjust their HR policies accordingly, bearing in mind not only the need to hire, but also to retain these talents.

Share of construction firm bankruptcies in the number of all announcements

2.3. Bankruptcies in the construction sectorStatistics regarding bankruptcies are a good reflection of the current market condition.2 In the first half of 2015, the balance of bankruptcies decreased by one-third year-on-year and the share of the sector in the total number of bankruptcies dropped by 6 p.p. to 17%.

According to data derived from Euler Hermes reports, in the years 2012-2014, the number of bankruptcies announced for construction contractors decreased every year. During this period, the accumulated annual drop ratio reached 17.9%. The overall condition has improved, but the number of bankruptcies of construction companies compared to other industries was still high in 2014 and accounted for 22.4% of all bankruptcies announced.

Low margins in the construction and assembly sector are still a problem for construction firms. The reasons include pricing competition during tenders, where price is often the key selection criterion. According to the Main Statistical Office, in the years 2012-2014 the combined price decrease index in the sector amounted to 3.0%. Despite the index dropping again in 2014, the number of bankruptcies did not increase, which may be explained by the fact that due to a high number of bankruptcies in the previous year3 only the strongest market players, less sensitive to changes in raw material costs, are still in business.

2 Please note that they do not present the full scale of enterprises facing difficulties. Bankruptcy data does not include liquidated and suspended businesses, which in certain cases results in actual windup.

3 Since 2012, a wave of bankruptcies has gone through the sector. The organisation of the EURO 2012 tournament in Poland resulted in the significant development of infrastructure at the expense of the performance of many construction companies who participated in these investments due to very strong competition and the subsequent “pricing war” that caused a significant reduction of prices in the related tenders. Additionally, the commenced infrastructural projects made the prices of key materials increase, which affected the performance of construction companies. Consequently, in 2012 the number of bankruptcies in the construction industry increased the most in the last decade (according to a report by Arcata Partners). Large companies, such as PBG, Hydrobudowa Polska or DSS, were declared bankrupt, and so were hundreds of their subcontractors. Since then, a reduction in the sales of construction companies declaring bankruptcy has been observed, which confirms that the deterioration in the overall standing has been a problem mostly for subcontractors, not for general contractors, as in 2012.

The effect of road construction investment accumulation may occur in 2017-2019 when the majority of funds under the new National Road Construction Programme for 2014-2023 will be spent. This may result in an increase in subcontractor’s costs. A possible increase in material prices poses another risk.

Please note that the recent bankruptcy problem also affected distributors, manufacturers and wholesalers focused on the construction sector, partly because contractors, with low margins earned on tenders, transferred the pricing pressure to their counterparties. Therefore, in the years 2013-2014, 104 manufacturers of construction materials went bankrupt. In Q1 2015, on the other hand, 16 companies producing for this industry went bankrupt. Thus, the number more than doubled year-on-year (seven bankruptcies were announced in Q1 2014).

In the years to come, a continued stable increase of the housing market is expected since the number of flats per 1,000 inhabitants ratio is still low compared to other EU countries and the existing housing resources are of low quality due to a high share of flats in so-called “concrete panel” buildings.

2.4. Employment in the construction sector In 2014, the average employment in the construction sector decreased by 7.7% year-to-year and amounted to 411,500 people. Therefore, the decreasing trend observed since 2012 was still visible. Since January 2015, the negative trend has slowed down. According to data published by the Main Statistical Office, the average employment in Q1 2015 increased by 1.5% year-on-year, and remains low.

In Q1 2015, salaries and wages in the construction sector increased by 5.2% year-on-year.4

The highest average pay level in the construction sector regarded civil and water engineering services, while the lowest occurred in construction of buildings.

4 Please note that due to the seasonal nature of its operations, wages and salaries in the construction sector are usually the lowest in Q1.

Labour shortage is a hindrance for companies operating in the construction market. As a result, recruitment has focused on immigrants from the East, who, among other things, require additional training with regard to safety standards.

Polish construction companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects 35

Hindrances faced by enterprisesAccording to a survey carried out by the Main Statistical Office among construction companies, since the beginning of 2013, the shortage of qualified staff has been a growing problem. In July 2015, 22% of enterprises considered it a hindrance in their business operation. This fact is confirmed by a report published by pracuj.pl, according to which the number of job offers in this sector, in particular for specialists, has grown substantially. Please note that 62% of employers in the construction sector indicate labour costs as a hindrance in their business operations. This is the largest financial burden for companies in this sector.

Employment projectionsThe newest report entitled Barometr Manpower Perspektyw Zatrudnienia presents employment in the Polish economy projected for Q4 2015. Information presented in the report is based on individual interviews with a selected group of Polish employers and indicate the presence of positive sentiments in the construction sector. The year-on-year employment growth projected for Q4 2015 is 11%. Due to a significant number of projects to be performed in the next six or seven years thanks to availability of EU subsidies under the 2014-2020 financial perspective, an employment growth in the infrastructural construction sector may be expected in a longer time horizon. According to projections by Hays, the increase will focus on the road infrastructure segment with the average employment ratio in the railway infrastructure segment remaining flat. Demand for specialists in heavy construction and power engineering will increase as well.

2.5. Development outlook for construction segments in Poland

2.5.1. General description and outlookIn 2014 specialist construction services accounted for 40% of the construction market value, construction of buildings – 34% and civil and water engineering services making up the remaining 26%)5. The share of construction of buildings increased slightly year-on-year at the expense of the other segments.

In 2014, following a two-year recession, a symbolic growth of 0.4% in the construction market value occurred, compared to 2013.6 In light of higher economic growth projected for the coming years compared to the period 2012-2013 and planned infrastructural investments, the increase in the value of the construction market should accelerate.

The drop in construction related production in the years 2011-2014 resulted from a number of factors: GDP decrease from 4.8% in 2011 to 1.8% in 2012-2013, the completion of infrastructural investments prepared for EURO 2012, reduced trust and outflow of investors from the real property segment and a general decrease in investments made in other sectors of economy. The significant deterioration observed from 2011 was reflected by the WIG Budownictwo index, which has demonstrated a growing trend since the beginning of 2015.

5 The construction of civil and water engineering structures includes road and railway construction, as well as environmental and energy investment projects (pipelines, telecommunication lines, power lines, etc.). The construction of buildings comprises the construction of residential, office, commercial, industrial and warehouse buildings and structures. The specialist construction consists of demolition work, site preparation, electrical installations, water and sewage systems, painting and finishing.

6 Following the intense growth before 2011, the value of the construction market in Poland amounted to PLN 182.2 billion (+13.2% vs. 2010). During the two subsequent years, a significant decrease in construction-related production was observed in Poland (by 6.3% in 2012 and by 7.4% in 2013 year-on-year).

Diversification, which should support margin growth on the highly competitive Polish market, seems to be unavoidable.

Paulo Silva, Management Board Member, Mota-Engil Central Europe S.A.

Polish construction companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects 37

An accelerated market growth in the coming years will be possible thanks to the inflow of EU funds under the 2014-2020 perspective and the expected 3.15% annual average GDP growth between 2015-20187. The projected market acceleration has been confirmed by market analysts who predict the average annual growth of the entire construction market of 4.6%8, in the years 2015-2017, with differences in the growth level in each market segment. According to analysts, the increase in general construction segments in Poland shall reach 2.6% in 2015, while the construction engineering segment will grow by 6.7%.

2.5.2. Road constructionIn 2014, the road construction segment continued projects commenced under the 2007-2013 perspective. The planning of investments for the new 2014-2020 perspective has commenced.

In the previous years, the National Roads Programme for the years 2011-2015 was the key document determining the development directions of the road construction segment.

Only in 2014, 331.7 km of national roads were commissioned (four sections of motorways, six expressways and two ring roads). In 2014 the total cost to the National Roads Fund and State Treasury in this respect was almost PLN 9.6 billion. Investments co-funded by the EU under the 2014-2020 perspective shall be based on the National Roads Construction Programme for the years 2014-2023 (with projections until 2025) developed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Development (henceforth: ”NRCP”) being a follow-up of the previous Programme.

As in the preceding period, in 2014-2023, investments within the National Road Construction Programme will be financed from the National Road Fund, contributed to from a variety of sources9, including, among others, through EU funding. State budget funds will be used to maintain technical standards of the existing road network, prepare tasks to be performed in the future and carry out management roles. Expenditure on national roads to be incurred in 2014-2025 are estimated at PLN 168.4 billion, out of which PLN 14.5 billion shall be used to continue the tasks under the National Roads Construction Programme 2011-2015 and PLN 107.1 billion to finance investments under the 2014-2020 EU perspective. Out of this amount, PLN 97.5 billion shall be used to build motorways and expressways, and PLN 9.6 billion for ring roads. The list of tasks includes two motorway sections, 49 expressway sections and 57 ring road sections of trunk roads.

Following public consultation, the NRCP has been extended for two additional years (2024 and 2025) and the pool of the National Roads Fund assigned to tasks performed under the 2014-2020 perspective has been increased by PLN 14.4 billion10. The objective of the NRCP is to complete the target motor- and expressway network in Poland as defined in the Transport Development Strategy until 2020 (with projections until 2030)11. The completion of the task shall depend also on the value of savings on investment projects. The amount of the savings may be substantial, as confirmed by an analysis of tenders already closed under the new EU perspective. The average price of winning tenders in projects included in our analysis (the total value of which constitutes nearly 30% of the accepted tenders amounting to PLN 30 billion) constituted 70% of the investment value as estimated by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.

9 Defined in the Act on toll roads and National Road Fund of 27 October 1994 (Journal of Laws of 2012 item 931 as amended).

10 Ministry of Finance and the Council of Ministers approved the increase of the investment pool.

11 Transport Development Strategy defines the target motor- and expressway network in accordance with the Ordinance of the Council of Ministers of 20 October 2009 amending the ordinance on the network of motor- and expressways.

The network of trunk roads, accounting for 4.7% of the total length of public roads in Poland, supports over 60% of traffic. This confirms the necessity to carry out broad-scale investment projects concerning these roads especially that Poland lags behind other EU countries in terms of the density of its expressway and motorway network. For example, expressways and motorways account only for 9.7 km per 1000 sq. km of land in Poland compared with 36.2 km in Germany. The objective determined in the NRCP is to achieve the density ratio of 22.7 km / 1,000 sq. km.

The poor technical condition of roads, which deteriorated in 2014 despite significant investments, has remained a problem in Poland. At the end of 2014, 13.2% of the roads were considered ‘in poor condition’ (compared with 12.5% at the end of 2013) and 25.1% were deemed ‘unsatisfactory’ (compared with 21.4% in 2013).

According to the Report on the Technical Condition of Trunk Roads at the end of 2014 prepared by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, the deterioration in the technical condition of these roads has resulted from the reduced length of road sections commissioned and refurbished in 2014 compared to 2012 and 2013 (mainly resulting from a reduction of funds assigned to the Directorate, unfavourable climate conditions and the growing number of trucks). The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDNRM) assumes that financial needs related to the improvement of roads assessed as in poor or unsatisfactory condition shall amount to PLN 6.6. billion in 2015.

Network of provincial, municipal and county roadsApart from trunk roads (to include motor- and expressways), the Polish network of public roads includes also those maintained by local governments: provincial, county and municipal.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development supports the financing of investments in provincial, county and municipal roads under the general subsidy provision and the National Programme for Local Roads Redevelopment (henceforth: NPLRR) valid until the end of 201512.

In September 2015 the Council of Ministers passed the Programme for Development of Municipal and County Road Infrastructure for 2016-2020, being a follow-up of NPLRR. Subsidies available under the programme in the years 2016-2020 total to PLN 4 billion13. which will allow construction, redevelopment and renewal of approx. 2,200 km of county and municipal roads each year.

12 National Programme of Local Roads Redevelopment has been carried out since 2008 and expires at the end of 2015. In the period 2008-2014 local self-government entities carried out over 4,900 investments and renewals totalling to nearly PLN 9.3 billion under the programme. The amount of PLN 4.4 billion was assigned to these tasks from the state budget. The programme has resulted in improvement and extension of the local roads network with the total length of 12,200 km.

13 PLN 800 million, PLN 1 billion, PLN 1.1 billion and PLN 1.1 billion in subsequent years.

According to the Supreme Control Chamber (NIK), 25% of county and municipal roads are in poor condition, with a mere 29% being in good and satisfactory condition14. The poor condition of these roads and no funds earmarked for the co-financing of local road infrastructure investments15 under the new EU perspective require the provision of financial support from the state budget.

14 As in March 2014 including the effects of NPLRR implementation. 15 Investments in provincial roads may be funded under Regional

Operational Programmes.

2.5.3. Railway constructionThe railway construction sector including the improvement and construction of railway and tram infrastructure is another segment with fast-growth forecasts.

Almost 20,000 km of railways are used in Poland, out of which approx. 93% is managed by PKP PLK S.A. The technical quality of the railway infrastructure is unsatisfactory. Only 47% of the total railway length is considered to be in good condition, with the condition of 27% being considered satisfactory and of 26% - unsatisfactory.

Improving the technical condition of the infrastructure to make railway transport safer and more efficient and thus more important in the integrated national transportation system is the key objective of investments in railway infrastructure.

The railway investment framework has been determined by two documents: the Long-Term Railway Investment Programme until 2015 (LTRIP) which was updated and extended with forecast until 2020, following the transfer and continuation of investment programs under the 2007-2013 EU perspective and the National Railway Programme until 2023 (NRP) being a follow-up of the LTRIP, approved by the Council of Ministers on 15 September 2015.

As a follow-up of the LTRIP, the NRP, which will expire in 2016, includes projects under the 2014-2020 perspective, phased projects (commenced under the 2007-2013 perspective and continued under the 2014-2020 perspective) and those carried out under CEF16. The forecast value of projects included in the NRP, assuming the maximised use of EU funds available under the 2014-2020 perspective, funds provided by the state budget and the Railway Fund is PLN 67.5 billion. Should the European Commission decide not to fund the phased projects from the two financial perspectives, the NRP assumes they will be subsidised with domestic funds.

16 CEF is discussed in the “EU funds” section hereof.

Under the LTRIP, in 2011-2014, 65 investment projects with a total value of PLN 6.5 billion were completed, out of 153 investments planned until 2020 under the Programme, with the total value of PLN 31.6 billion (out of which PLN 6.0 billion was used in 2014 and expenditure planned for 2015-2016 amounts to PLN 9.0 billion and 5.6 billion, respectively).

Representatives of construction companies are afraid that in 2016, performance gaps will occur and in 2019-2020 investments will accumulate, which may result in an accumulation similar to that observed in road construction projects performed under EURO 2012. By the end of August 2015, PKP PLK had not announced any construction projects under the new perspective. Responding to concerns raised by construction companies, PKP PLK has announced that by the year-end it would organise tenders amounting to PLN 11 billion. By 22 September 2015, the company called for tenders for the completion of the improvement of the RailBaltica line and the construction of ERTMS/GSM-R infrastructure.

The condition of the railway construction sector depends not only on the number and volume of investments funded from the state and EU budget, but also on the involvement of local authorities, especially local municipal investment plans in respect of the maintenance and repair of commuter rail. The tasks are financed with special purpose funds and the Railway Fund. The schedule of works and expenditures included in the Railway Fund projects assign PLN 237 million for this purpose in the years 2014-2019.17 The amended Act on the Railway Fund signed by the President on 5 August 2015 projects additional support for local governments amounting to PLN 400 million in 2016-2020 perspective18.

17 Data regarding allocation of the Railway Fund money, later than those presented in the previous version of the report, are not available.

18 Detailed allocation of funds will be known only after the schedule of works and expenditures has been updated by the Council of Ministers.

City plans also include investments in the construction and refurbishment of tramlines. According to the Long-Term Financial Plans of the six largest cities in Poland the aforementioned expenditure could reach about PLN 1.5 billion in the years 2015-202019.

2.5.4. Power engineering construction20

Large-scale power engineering investments have been planned in Poland. According to data provided by the Energy Regulatory Office, energy enterprises plan to commission new power units with a total capacity of 18 GW in 2014-2028, out of which 7.5 GW will involve wind power investments. The total investments in power generation estimated for the years 2014-2028 will amount to PLN 55 billion.

Wind farms have the largest share (40%) in the total investment value, followed by units fuelled with hard coal (32%) and natural gas (22%). Over 60% of investments in an advanced stage of completion are based on hard coal. The commissioning of substantial capacity power generators is planned for the period from 2017 to 2019.

Key investments in the energy sector (by stage of completion):

Investments in progress:

1. Power unit in Kozienice (900-1,000 MW, hard coal);

2. Two power units in Opole (2 x 900 MW, hard coal);

3. Power plant in Stalowa Wola (450; 240 MW; natural gas);

4. Power plant in Włocławek (463 MW; natural gas);

5. Heat and power plant in Bydgoszcz (437 MW; natural gas);

6. Power plant in Turów (450 MW, brown coal);

7. Power plant in Jaworzno (910 MW, hard coal).

19 The estimated amount does not reflect the total value of investment in city tram routes, though, since it includes only investments planned in municipal budgets, without expenses of municipal transport companies.

20 State documents regarding planned power engineering investments, discussed in the previous edition of the report, remain up to date.

Agreement signed / tendering procedure in progress:

1. Łagisza power plant (413 MW, natural gas), a co-funding agreement signed by Polish Development Investments (PIR). Work commencement is planned for 2015/2016 and the completion in the second half of 2018;

2. Żerań heat and power plant (420-490 MW; natural gas);

3. Płock power plant (400 – 600 MW, natural gas; planned commissioning deadline – 2017/2018).

Planned investments / pre-investment analyses:

1. Północ electric power plant (target capacity 2 x 800 MW; hard coal; agreement for stage one with a capacity of 800 MW signed, but administrative procedures regarding the permission have been suspended);

2. Grudziądz power plant (about 420-600 MW; natural gas);

3. Puławy power plant (about 400 MW; natural gas).

Plans regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant in Poland constitute a material aspect of power engineering investments. In January 2014, the Council of Ministers adopted the Polish Nuclear Energy Programme (PNEP). Under the programme, the costs of constructing a nuclear plant are estimated at PLN 40 to 60 billion. According to the timeline adopted in the PNEP, the location shall be determined and a contract for supply of a selected technology for the first power station shall be signed by the end of 2016, while the first power unit will be built between 2019-2024. The completion of the first nuclear power plant is planned for 2031, and of the second one, for 2035.

There are new investment plans for the Renewable Energy Sector in Poland, too. According to the Energy Regulatory Office, the capacity of renewable energy sources is 6.3 GW (as at 30 June 2015). Based on the Regulatory Impact Assessment of the Act on Renewable Energy Sources of 20 February 2015, the estimated total increase of installed capacity in RES, included in the system support for the years 2015-2020 should reach approx. 4.2 GW21. Therefore, by 2020, power generation in this segment would increase to approx. 32.4 TWh (in 2015-2020, the increase should reach approx. 15.7 TWh).

21 At present, amendments to the Act on RES have been prepared, but the Regulatory Impact Assessment including the amendments is not available yet.

According to the Energy Market Agency, the share of renewable energy in Poland will account for about 19% in 2030.22

Apart from investments in capacity, a series of projects involving the extension of the transmission and distribution network is planned (total budget assigned for the years 2014-2019 is approximately PLN 42 billion).

The estimated capital expenditure of the five largest DSOs in the years 2014-2019 will reach approx. PLN 35 billion according to development plans agreed with ERO.

PSE, the distribution system operator, is planning to spend approx. PLN 1.1 billion for infrastructural investments in 2015 only.

The total investment of PSE in the power network in the years 2015-2019 is estimated at PLN 7 – 8 billion. They will include the construction of 19 transmission lines including approx. 2,677 km of current circuits (200 kV and 400 kV) and seven power substations, as well as the extension of 47 substations of various voltages. Approximately 18% of the total expenditure shall be assigned to the improvement of infrastructure and installation of 44 transformers.

Some investments undertaken by PSE, e.g. the project involving the construction of a power connection between Poland and Lithuania and extension of the power network in Słupsk to connect wind farms, are to be co-funded by the European Union.

2.5.5. Environmental protectionWater management/sewage treatment and waste treatment are other market segments that will benefit from the EU funds under the 2014-2020 financial perspective. Thanks to these funds, Poland shall continue the investment programme commenced after its EU accession, aimed at adjusting its water management, sewage treatment and waste treatment system to parameters determined by the EU under the Council Directive concerning urban waste water treatment (91/271/EEC), as well as the Framework Directive and the Directive on the landfill of waste. The water management/sewage treatment and waste treatment sectors shall be beneficiaries of the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme. Funds allocated to these two sectors under the Programme in the period 2014-2020 amount to EUR 1.62 billion and EUR 0.93 billion, respectively.

Water management and sewage treatmentMaster Plan for Implementation of 91/721/EEC Directive (“Master Plan”) and the National Urban Waste Water Treatment Programme (NUWWTP) are the documents determining the planned water management/sewage treatment investments. In May 2015, the Ministry of Environment approved the Master Plan and the updated NUWWTP.

Under the newest update, the estimated total value of the investments incorporated in the NUWWTP for the years 2014-2015 amounts to PLN 6.5 billion, and the total projected outlay, along with the amount to be spent after 2015, will reach PLN 28.2 billion.

Waste managementThe National Waste Management Plan 2014 (NWMP) is the key document describing waste management investment plans in Poland. On 28 July 2015, updated draft assumptions to the NWMP were released. Objectives and tasks determined in the document pertain to the period 2016-2022 and 2023-2030 for a longer perspective. The key objective of the NWMP is to avoid waste generation and use waste as resources. The objective complies with measures determined in the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme for municipal waste treatment.

Funds allocated to municipal waste treatment under the I&E OP in 2014-2020 perspective amount to EUR 0.93 billion.

Poland has only one incinerating plant operating in Warsaw, capable of processing less than 50 thousand tonnes of waste a year. Extension of this installation is planned to achieve a capacity of 305 tonnes per year. Six more incinerating plants are under construction (in Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Konin, Kraków, Poznań and Szczecin), and construction of new plants is planned in Gdańsk, Łódź, Koszalin and Olsztyn (as elements of heat and power plants).

2.5.6. Construction in the retail and service sectors Currently, 10.3 million sq. m of modern retail space is available in Poland. In 2014, 474,700 sq. m of modern retail space was added to the market which constituted a 23% increase compared to 2013. Most of the new commercial facilities were smaller-format ones. Analysts predict that in the next few years developers will begin abandoning large-format retail space in favour of building smaller-format shopping centres. At present, a clear market trend towards constructing small-format retail space in small towns is visible. In 2014, 48% of modern commercial space was commissioned in cities below 100,000 inhabitants (vs. just 24% in 2013) with a mere 9% of the supply offered in the largest

agglomerations (vs. nearly 70% in 2013). The ongoing expansion of convenience stores in shopping centres and retail parks gives the industry hope that this market segment is far from saturated and has a very good outlook.

At present, facilities of approx. 900,000 sq. m of commercial space are being constructed, out of which over 62% (563,000 sq. m.) are to be commissioned in 2015, to include 470,000 sq. m to be used by shopping centres

2.5.7. Residential constructionLong-term projections for residential construction companies are good. Poland is one of the last countries in Europe in the ranking of the number of flats per 1,000 inhabitants, which illustrates the existing residential construction investment potential.

In 2014 and in the first half of 2015, the residential property market was characterised with strong demand. According to REAS, in Q2 2015, over 12,700 flats were sold in the six largest Polish cities, and during the last four quarters, the number reached 48,500, which is over 27% more than in the record years 2007 and 2013, when about 36,000 flats were sold per year. The period marked with very good sales results on the developer market has lasted nearly two years.

The increased demand for flats has translated into growth in supply. The recovery of the residential construction market was visible in the first half of 2015, in particular in Q2, when 20,000 construction permits were issued, which was a 7% increase year-on-year, and contributed to the construction of 49,000 flats, which signified a 21% increase year-on-year. The number of flats commissioned in Q2 2015 increased by 5% year-on-year.

Demand factors on the residential construction marketThe key factors determining the standing of the residential construction market have included low interest rates, faster GDP growth seen since 2014 vs. 2012-2013 and the “Flats for the Young” programme.

The low interest rates have significantly reduced the cost of purchasing a flat. Lately, though, the number of new mortgage loans has decreased. There was a turnaround in Q2 2015, when the number of loan agreements signed was 10% higher than in the preceding quarter, and increased 2% year-on-year.

Starting up the “Flats for the Young” programme in 2014 contributed significantly to the sales level. The scale of interest in the program has grown substantially since its inception. According to an analysis by REAS, in Q2 2015, the number of applications for subsidies submitted in most Polish cities increased compared to the previous quarter, with nearly 20% of flat purchase transactions being supported with funds from the “Flats for the Young” programme. The interest in subsidies under the “Flats for the Young” is estimated to grow following amendments to the programme introduced

in 2015, and some funds will be allocated to the secondary market.

The increase in demand on the residential market was partly caused by a growth in importance of investment transactions resulting from reduced attractiveness of investments in the form of deposits due to low interest rates and a slowdown on the Warsaw Stock Exchange following a reduction in assets managed by Open-ended Pension Funds resulting from a reform of the pension system. This reduced the attractiveness of stock investments due to lower liquidity, which in turn increased the risk of quoted securities since investment portfolios cannot be substantially remodelled in a short period of time.

2.5.8. Office space constructionIn 2014, the office space construction market saw a substantial supply increase. At the end of 2014, the supply of office space in the nine largest Polish cities was 7,550,000 sq. m, i.e. approx. 8% more than a year before. In 2014, 622,000 sq. m of office space was constructed, which is a record value for the Polish market so far. The most office space was built in Warsaw (277,000 sq. m.), Kraków (111,000 sq. m), Tricity (69,000 sq. m), Katowice and Wrocław (62,000 sq. m each). Further and more rapid growth can be expected bearing in mind the space under construction (another 1.3 million sq. m) and developers’ plans. In Warsaw alone about 700,000 sq. m of office space is to be commissioned in 2015. According to DTZ analyses, in 2015-2016 the highest growth in the supply of office space can be expected in Wrocław (a 32% increase), Łódź (27%) and Tricity (25%). In 2014, the office space market saw a strong demand as well, which translated into a reduction in the office vacancy ratio on most Polish cities except Kraków, Katowice and Warsaw. Warsaw, whose office space supply accounts for 58% of the total supply in Poland, saw the highest vacancy ratio in 2014 (13.3%) due to the growing supply and demand remaining flat. Also, many transactions involved renegotiation and extension of the existing agreements.

2.5.9. Warehouse space constructionIn 2014, the warehouse construction market grew rapidly. Over 1,000,000 sq. m of warehouse space was commissioned, i.e. three times more than in the previous year and close to the record area in 2007-2008. At the end of 2014, the total supply of modern warehouse space in Poland was 8,850,000 sq. m, with 675,000 sq. m of modern office space being under construction (25% more than as at the end of 2013). In 2014, the volume of transactions concluded was 10% higher than in 2013 of 2,400,000 sq. m. Built-to-suit transactions had a substantial share in the volume.

Despite a record growth in supply in 2014, the vacancy ratio dropped from 10.9% to 6.8%. According to a study by Cushman & Wakefield, bearing in mind substantial space under construction and intense activity of lessees, the vacancy ratio can be expected to remain flat or even drop. Development of commercial space in smaller towns and substantial capital expenditure on improvement of transport infrastructure in Poland may contribute to a reduced concentration of warehouse space near Warsaw and the largest urban agglomerations.

2.6. From the market perspectiveAccording to members of management boards in construction companies, the inflow of EU funds under the 2014-2020 perspective will be of decisive importance for the development of the construction sector in the years to come. In their opinion, infrastructural construction, in particular in the road and railway construction segments, along with the power engineering segment, being the largest beneficiaries of the EU funds, will grow the most rapidly.

According to representatives of construction companies, the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDNRM) learned a lesson from the EURO 2012 experience, when the accumulation of construction projects resulted in a growth in prices of construction materials, which had a negative effect on the industry. As a result, many companies went bankrupt and a few foreign contractors (like Chinese COVEC, Irish SRB and SIAC or Slovak Doprastav) terminated their contracts. Under the new financial perspective, the GDRNM has already accepted tenders for PLN 30 billion. Construction companies point out that the level of organisational preparation in PKP PLK is lower than in the GDRNM. By the end of August 2015, the company did not call for any tenders for construction projects under the new financial perspective, which gives rise to a risk of accumulation of investments in 2019-2020. In response to these concerns, PKP PLK has stated that by the end of 2015 it would call for tenders for the total amount of PLN 11 billion. In the beginning of September 2015, it commenced the programme called the Great Railway Investment Campaign, whose purpose, among others, is to improve the terms of cooperation with contractors and tender organisations. In September 2015, the company called for tenders for the completion of the improvement of the RailBaltica line and construction of ERTMS/GSM-R infrastructure.

Construction companies well remember problems with road investments that occurred before EURO 2012. A similar accumulation of projects may occur this time in the railway sector. PKP PLK plans to solve the problem by inviting foreign contractors to the tender procedure. The idea has met a negative response from management of companies that already operate in Poland. In their opinion, the market is competitive enough and margins are under substantial pressure, so additional foreign contractors will increase the trends winning with low prices and not exposing their own labour or equipment during project performance.

Construction companies have indicated the need to reduce these practices and request the introduction of a condition in the terms of reference, requiring a certain level of a company’s own resources involved in projects.

The Polish legal system, to include the public procurement law, poses other problems indicated by industry representatives. Following amendments to the Public Procurement Law, the price has remained the key selection factor for contracts. Uneven risk distribution in tender proceedings is another significant problem. The first signs of improvement may be observed in the industrial sector, where weights assigned to the price as a selection criterion often reach 70%, in favour of criteria related to technical parameters. Furthermore, the requirement regarding own labour involvement has appeared.

Representatives of construction companies estimate that following the accumulation of projects, construction material prices and employment costs incurred by subcontractors may increase. Therefore, the purchasing competencies of companies have become increasingly important for their ability to maintain the current market position, especially that opportunities to hedge against price risk are limited.

First symptoms of rationalising TOR provisions in industrial construction tenders have appeared: technical parameters are considered along with price in tender evaluation. Further, requirements regarding certain involvement of own resources have been introduced.

Joanna Makowiecka - Gaca, Chairman of the Management Board, Polimex-Mostostal S.A.

Polish construction companies 2015: Key players, growth factors and industry development prospects 53

Most construction companies point out the labour shortage problem. Industry representatives consider labour-related emigration of some construction workers as the main reason of the shortage. The emigration has increased in recent years, alongside a deterioration in the condition of the construction industry. In their opinion, a lack of specialised design companies (e.g. in the power engineering segment) may be a bottleneck, too. Construction companies see changes in the labour market and, interested in hiring young employees, offer them opportunities for personal development and improving their professional skills.

Some firms plan to or have commenced measures aimed at limiting the risk of concentration of their business operations in a single segment and the possible end of EU funding. They attempt to diversify their operations both in terms of specialisation (entering new market segments) and geography (carrying out foreign projects, e.g. in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Scandinavian and Western European countries). One of the potential sources of funds after 2020 will be performing small and medium scale projects for local governments and private investors. The largest portion of EU funds shall be assigned to large projects of national importance, and this is where construction companies will be most impacted in terms of a drop in the number of projects performed after 2020. Construction companies predict that once the 2014-2020 financial perspective is closed, PPP based projects will grow in importance as a result of a significant reduction in EU funding and the need for local governments to look for alternative sources of financing.

54

2.7. SummaryIn 2014, the decreasing trend in production in the construction sector turned around. The market value increase was small and amounted to 0.4%, but other accompanying symptoms of recovery, to include a growth in sales of construction companies as reported by the Main Statistical Office, an increase in demand and supply in individual market segments and an

inflow of EU funds under the 2014-2020 perspective indicate opportunities to improve the standing of the construction market in the coming years. In order to fully use the new opportunities, though, both public and private partners must draw conclusions from projects performed under the previous EU perspective.

No projected expenditure for a longer perspective.

Projections for residential and commercial construction projects are good for the nearest future.

A strong growth in demand observed since 2014 is the factor underlying the good perspective for the residential segment. The current macro-economic standing accompanied with available government funding allows expecting stable standing of this segment in the nearest future.

In 2014, rapid growth of the commercial construction segment occurred, confirming the record volume of office space supplied. Based on the analysed investment portfolios of construction companies the positive trend may be expected to continue in the subsequent quarters.

Budimex S.A. has been transformed from Centrala Handlu Zagranicznego Budownictwa Budimex incorporated in 1968 in order to export construction services, mostly to developing markets in Asia and Africa and to the Socialist block countries.

In late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Budimex became a leading contractor on the Polish market.

In 1992 the enterprise was privatised and two years later transformed into a joint-stock company.

Since 1995 it has been listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange. As at 31 December 2014 its major shareholders included Valivala Holdings B.V. (the Netherlands) holding 59.06% of shares (the company belongs to the Spanish Ferrovial S.A. Capital Group) and Aviva OFE Aviva BZ WBK holding 7.13% of shares.The Budimex Group performs broadly defined construction and assembly services acting as a general contractor on the domestic and foreign market, a developer and real property manager, as well as, to a small extent, performing commercial, production, transport and other activities. Budimex S.A. carries out construction operations, and acts as an advisory, management and financial centre in the capital group.

Compared to 2013, revenue of the Budimex Group generated in 2014 increased by 4%. Poland and Germany are the key markets of the Group. Foreign revenue decreased significantly (by approx. 65%) year-on-year and accounted for 4% of the total revenue for 2014. Over 92% of revenue generated in 2014 came from construction and assembly services. Sales in this segment increased by 14% vs. 2013 and exceeded PLN 4.6 billion.

In 2014, revenue from sales of developer and real property management services neared PLN 250 million and increased by approx. 11% year-on-year. Pre-sale of flats reached the level of 1,685, i.e. 127% higher than in the previous year. EBIT generated by the Budimex Group amounted to PLN 247 million and was 26% lower than in 2013. The net profit was reduced by 36%. The better performance in 2013 resulted from one-off events, such as sales of shares in Budimex Danwood Sp. z o.o. that generated profit before tax of PLN 194 million.

At the end of 2014, the general debt level increased by less than 9%. Capital expenditure of the Group increased nearly three times vs. 2013 and amounted to PLN 48.4 million.

In 2014, the Budimex Group companies concluded construction contracts totalling to PLN 6.3 billion, the amount being 93% higher than in 2013. As at 31 December 2014, the portfolio of construction orders held by the Group amounted to PLN 6.1 billion, signifying a 41% increase year-on-year. The quoted value of the company’s shares increased from PLN 3.4 billion at the end of 2013 to PLN 3.6 billion at the end of 2014.

Strabag was established in 1835 and has operated in Poland since 1985. This is its third most important market in Europe. In 2014, its revenue generated in Poland amounted to PLN 3.1 billion and was 5% lower than in 2013.

The core business of its Polish companies includes general construction, construction engineering and infrastructure construction. STRABAG is also present in the railway construction, hydrotechnical and power engineering sector. Its key Polish companies include STRABAG to STRABAG Sp. z o.o. and Strabag Infrastruktura Południe Sp. z o.o.

Financial statements of the Polish companies in the STRABAG Group are not consolidated on the local level.

STRABAG SP. Z O.O.Operations of STRABAG Sp. z o.o. include infrastructural and general construction, as well as construction engineering. Further, it specialises in environmental projects, railway construction, improvement and construction of wharves, industrial and power engineering construction, to include renewable energy sources. In 2014, domestic sales generated the entire revenue of the company.

It amounted to PLN 2.6 billion and was 9% lower than in 2013.

Polimex-Mostostal is one of the largest Polish capital groups with construction and engineering profile, of strategic importance for the national economy. Polimex-Mostostal S.A. is the parent company in the group and its history dates back to the early post-war era. The company in its current form was established as a result of the merger between Polimex-Cekop S.A. and Mostostal Siedlce which took place in 2004. Polimex-Mostostal S.A. has been listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange since 1997.

The group operates in the power engineering, oil and gas and industrial construction sectors. Polimex-Mostostal is a manufacturer of steel products, to include catwalk grids, and a provider of hot-dip galvanising services. Polimex-Mostostal S.A. is the contractor building power units in Kozienice and Opole power plants.

Apart from the parent company, the following entities made up the Polimex – Mostostal Group in the year 2014: Naftoremont-Naftobudowa Sp. z o.o. Polimex Energetyka Sp. z o.o. (the two operating companies in the group), Polimex Projekt Opole Sp. z o.o., PRInż – 1 Sp. z o.o., Stalfa Sp. z o.o., Polimex-Mostostal Ukraina SAZ, Polimex Projekt Kozienice Sp. z o.o. On 1 July 2014, all shares in Torpol S.A. were sold under IPO.

In 2014 the group employed almost 5,500 employees, but in consequence of the restructuring plan implemented in the company the number is going down.

In 2014, Polimex – Mostostal S.A. restructured its portfolio of non-performing contracts, decided to withdraw from road construction ones and to focus on the power engineering and oil and gas sectors.

In 2014, another stage of the operational and financial restructuring was completed.

Under the restructuring programme, the debt was converted to shares, which resulted in recognition of financial revenue of PLN 272 million. The costs of the restructuring (including employment reduction) were incurred in 2014, which significantly affected the performance of the parent.

In 2014, 82% of the group’s revenue was derived from domestic sales and 18% from export sales - mainly to the European Union member states and Ukraine.

In 2014 the group generated PLN 2.1 billion of revenue from its core business with an 11% decline in sales as compared to the previous year. Both EBIT and the net result for 2014 were negative. EBIT remained at the level of PLN 396 million (decline by 130% as compared with 2013), and the net loss amounted to PLN 153 million (improvement by 41% as compared with 2013). The above shows that the loss of the group was lower than during the previous year. The key factor contributing to the improved performance was a reduction in general and administrative expenses (from approx. PLN 121 million to approx. PLN 90 million).

As compared with 2013 the net debt of Polimex-Mostostal dropped by PLN 694 million, and the debt ratio decreased by 4.5 p.p. vs. the previous year and as at 31 December 2014 it amounted to 84%.

As at 31 December 2014 the orders’ portfolio of the group was valued at PLN 5.9 billion (without consortium shares). Please note two large contracts held in the parent’s portfolio, which will certainly contribute to the improved performance of the company. Both involve the construction of new power units in Opole and Kozienice power plant.

In September 2015, the Polimex-Mostostal Group presented a new strategy for the years 2016-2020, with the following key business areas:

• power engineering,

• oil – gas – chemicals,

• industrial construction,

• manufacturing.

Erbud is one of the leading construction companies in Poland, with over 25 years of industrial experience. The company was established by Eryk Grzeszczak and his son Dariusz Grzeszczak in 1990 under the name: Przedsiębiorstwo Budowlane i Usług Technicznych „ERBUD”.

In 1993 its German subsidiary - GWI Bauunternehmung GmbH - was founded to pursue the company’s business operations abroad. In 1999 Józef Adam Zubelewicz joined the company’s shareholders – his responsibility as a management board member was to develop the company’s business in Poland.

Erbud was transformed into a limited liability company in 2003 and at the same time a strategic investor – a German Wolff & Müller GmbH & Co. KG - made a capital injection to provide additional funding. Beginning from the year 2004 the company has been developing independent regional branches in Poland and its Western European expansion began in 2005, also to Belgium, France, Sweden Ireland and England.In 2006 the company transformed into a joint-stock company, and in 2007 its IPO at Warsaw Stock Exchange took place. As part of implementation of its development strategy, in 2007 Erbud took over Budlex S.A. – the leading property developing company in Kujawsko-Pomorskie region. At the end of 2007 Erbud also took over Rembet Plus Sp. z o.o. - a company engaged in engineering and road-related projects. Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Drogowych SA (PRD SA) operating in the road sector joined the group in 2008, whereas in 2010 the road companies operating within the group (PRD SA - Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Drogowych SA and Rembet Plus Sp.z o.o.) consolidated, as a result of which Przedsiębiorstwo Budownictwa Drogowo-Inżynieryjnego SA was established. In 2012 the group bought shares in Engorem – a company operating in the sphere of comprehensive investment, refurbishment and diagnostic services for the energy sector. As part of developing business operations to include modernisation, refurbishing and maintenance of industrial and energy-related installations, a new entity incorporating Engorem (i.e. Erbud Industry) was established in 2014.

As at 31 December 2014 Wolff & Müller GmbH & Co. KG holding 32.54% shares in the share capital was the main shareholder of the company and DGI Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych controlled by Dariusz Grzeszczak (shareholding of 16.74%) was the second largest shareholder. Two open pension funds (ING and AVIVA) hold 19.2% of shares.

The Erbud Group provides general contracting and subcontracting services in the commercial, residential, public utilities and energy sectors, as well as services in the area of road and engineering in Poland and other European countries, primarily: Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The group is also active in the sphere of property developing.

The group’s priorities include further development of general construction services (office and commercial centres, public utility buildings) and in the power engineering segment in Poland and abroad.

In 2014 the Erbud Group earned revenues of PLN 1.7 billion accompanied with an increase in sales by 38% as compared with the previous year. The growth resulted from an increase in revenue generated in the general construction, engineering and road construction, as well as power engineering segment (by 40.0%, 66.5% and 11.6%, respectively). 88% of the sales revenue was generated in Poland, whereas 12% was derived from the business conducted in Western Europe.

Building construction activities, which accounted for 83% of consolidated sales in 2014, constituted the main source of the group’s revenue.

During this period the group managed to improve its profitability and obtained consolidated EBIT of PLN 43.1 million which represented a 32% growth year-on-year. EBITDA amounted to PLN 52 million (a growth by PLN 11.6 million year-on-year) and the net profit equalled PLN 27.9 million and was 54% higher than in the previous year.

In 2014 the net debt of the group went up by over 37% and arrived at the value of PLN 554.7 million. At the end of 2014, the share of equity in the total financing of the Group’s operations was 27.3%.The Erbud Group employs 1,830 people.

Trakcja PRKiI S.A. is one of the largest companies in the sector of infrastructural construction and railway improvement in Poland. The company has been operating under this name since the end of 2013, but in the organizational terms it continues the tradition and relies on the experience gained by other entities active in the market for more than 60 years (PKRE S.A., PRKiI S.A., PRK 7 S.A.).

The group performs many crucial contracts related to improvement of road and railway infrastructure in Poland and abroad. It has also been engaged in construction and improvement of tramlines, roads, bridges and power engineering infrastructure. The business activity of its subsidiaries includes preparation of feasibility studies and project documentation, specialized services of railway infrastructure maintenance, general and industrial construction and residential developments.

Its current status has been arrived at in stages , the first one being the restructuring of a state-owned enterprise (in 1995). The next stage took place in 2004 and it involved assuming control of the holding company - Trakcja Polska S.A. by Przedsiębiorstwo Kolejowych Robót Elektryfikacyjnych S.A. The company was privatised in 2005 through the sale of a minority shareholding to Spanish Comsa S.A.

After its IPO on Warsaw Stock Exchange at the beginning of April 2008, in 2009 the company merged with PRK 7 S.A. and in 2011 Tiltra Group was acquired. In 2012 the company’s name was changed to Trakcja S.A.

In 2013, the company continued organizational and legal restructuring of the capital group. The most important step was to merge Trakcja S.A. and PRKiI S.A. – in effect, Trakcja PRKiI S.A. was established. With the shareholding and voting rights at the level of 28.8%, Comsa S.A. remains the company’s major shareholder.

At present the business operations of the Trakcja Group are focused specifically on comprehensive design of roads, railways, buildings and facilities, construction and improvement of railways, contact lines, underground and overhead lines, power supply systems, roads, highways, utility infrastructure and engineering structures.

In 2014 as much as 35% of sales were generated outside Poland – mainly thanks to large contracts carried out for the Lithuanian Railways. As far as the Polish market goes, PKP PLK S.A. is the main recipient of the services performed by the group.

In 2014 the Trakcja Group employed 2,002 persons and generated revenue of PLN 1.6 billion, which translates into a nearly 26% growth as compared with the previous year. The railway segment was the key growth engine, with revenue growth from PLN 665 million in 2013 to PLN 1.2 billion in 2014 (i.e. by 82%). The EBIT of the group for 2014 amounted to PLN 85.8 million as compared with PLN 40.6 million in 2013, which signifies a growth of 112%.

In 2014 EBITDA equalled PLN 147 million and increased by 132.2% as compared with 2013. The net result for 2014 amounted to PLN 50.4 million. In 2014, the share of debt capital in the total financing of the capital group’s operations was at least 53%.

PBG Group began its operations in 1994 as a family-owned partnership under the name of Piecobiogaz s.c. Jerzy Wiśniewski, Małgorzata Wiśniewska. During the first years of its business operations the entity was primarily focused on construction, upgrade and maintenance of pressure reduction and metering stations, as well as construction of steel and polyethylene pipelines for transmission and distribution of natural gas. In 1997 Technologie Gazowe Piecobiogaz Sp. z o.o. was established and it took over the key part of the partnership’s business involving construction of gas facilities. As a consequence of its continuous growth and innovative projects the company changed its legal form and business name to a joint-stock company - PBG S.A.

IPO in mid-2004 was another step in the transformation. The company’s IPO helped raise the funds necessary to finance its further growth and incorporation of the PBG Group.
