In addition to the Group’s operational indicators, the order book of Euro 3,308 million (at December 2010) demonstrates the capacity of the Mota-Engil Group in ensuring its sustainability and even

growth within the various business segments.

As a common denominator for the operational indicators presented one fnds the prominent contribution of the international area. Currently the external markets represent 60% of the Group’s order book (in the Engineering and Construction area it is 65%) and contributed 52% toward Turnover and 58% of the EBITDA generated by the Group.

In addition to the contribution of the international markets, the annual growth of 22% of the consolidated activity of the Environment and Services area led to a result that refects a more diversifed Group, in line with the Strategic Plan “Ambition 2013”.
