Management Report of the Board of Directors - Financial Year 2008<br />
Turnover Trend per Market<br />
The consolidated operating profit was EUR 1,377,181<br />
thousand, representing a 29.1% increase compared to the<br />
amount reported for the previous year. This increase is<br />
basically due to the expansion of the external market, which<br />
was considerably greater than that observed in Portugal.<br />
The internal market grew 11.2% compared to the same period<br />
in the previous year, while the external market grew 46.9%,<br />
currently accounting for 57% of operating profit.<br />
(Amounts expressed in thousands of Euros)<br />
Despite the recognised and sharp contraction in the internal<br />
market, Portugal recorded a positive 13% increase in turnover.<br />
Even more significant is the progress in the Group’s exposure<br />
to other more dynamic economies, leading to a considerable<br />
increase in foreign contributions to this business sector,<br />
having strengthened its position even more in the external<br />
market, which now represents 57.1%.<br />
It is important to highlight the contribution of the construction<br />
sector to support the Group’s growth, accounting for more<br />
than 50% of the consolidated total operating profit, with an<br />
increase of 19.6% in Portugal and 58.6% abroad.<br />
The contribution of each business sector to the overall<br />
amount related to the consolidated operating profit was the<br />

The chart below shows the amounts of the contributions<br />
made by the different countries where Teixeira Duarte<br />
operated in 2007 and 2008, where the growth of the Angolan<br />
and Algerian markets stands out, with the latter currently<br />
accounting for more than 10% of total Turnover.<br />
