26 Annual Report 2009<br />
HOCHTIEF’s Concessions Business<br />
• More additions to portfolio<br />
• Stage set for further international expansion<br />
• Leading role worldwide in privately financed<br />
infrastructure projects<br />
During the year under review, HOCHTIEF further expanded<br />
its portfolio in the concessions business for the<br />
development and realization of concessions and operation<br />
projects. The expansion is based on:<br />
• The expertise and innovative strength we have shown<br />
time and again in designing, financing, building and<br />
operating complex projects, which means we can<br />
provide services at and optimize every stage of the<br />
project life cycle<br />
• Our experience with concessions and operation projects<br />
worldwide<br />
• Our closely linked international network and crossborder<br />
transfer of know-how, which enable us to reap<br />
synergies<br />
• Our excellent reputation as one of the world’s leading<br />
construction services providers and industrial infrastructure<br />
investors.<br />
HOCHTIEF Concessions AG is one of the world’s leading<br />
industrial infrastructure investors. It presides over<br />
the division of the same name and encompasses the<br />
companies HOCHTIEF AirPort and HOCHTIEF PPP<br />
Solutions with the segments airports, roads and social<br />
infrastructure as well as infrastructure ventures. Networked<br />
cooperation in market development, business<br />
planning, special operator responsibilities and other<br />
technical areas allow us to tap into longterm synergies—making<br />
us a strong partner for our clients.<br />
As of December 31, 2009, the HOCHTIEF Concessions<br />
portfolio comprised stakes in six airports, seven roads<br />
including two tunnels, 91 schools, two city halls, a<br />
community center, a barracks and two geothermal<br />
power plants. Thus our Company plays a leading role<br />
worldwide in privately financed infrastructure projects.<br />
The Asia Pacific division holds further interests through<br />
our Australian subsidiary Leighton.*<br />

The following information relates exclusively to the project<br />
portfolio of HOCHTIEF Concessions and its valuation.<br />
The product and service spectrum of HOCHTIEF Con<br />
cessions comprises the following elements: the strategic<br />
selection of projects, their design and development,<br />
the provision of shareholders’ equity, structuring of financing<br />
and the implementation and operation of concessions<br />
projects through to disposals of ownership<br />
stakes. We continuously optimize the projects throughout.<br />
HOCHTIEF Concessions’ income primarily derives<br />
from the continuous income streams from participating<br />
interests in the various segments. The income is generated<br />
from dividends, interest from shareholder loans as<br />
well as transaction and management fees, plus any gains<br />
on market placement or disposals of ownership stakes.<br />
Airports<br />
HOCHTIEF Concessions’ airport holdings are brought<br />
together in the subsidiary HOCHTIEF AirPort. HOCHTIEF<br />
became established in this dynamic market as early as<br />
the mid-1990s with the award in Athens of the world’s<br />
first BOOT** concession for an airport, secured among<br />
other things by virtue of our airport construction expertise.<br />
We have since added interests in Budapest, Düsseldorf,<br />
Hamburg, Sydney and Tirana airports. This<br />
portfolio of attractive airports with strong prospects for<br />
the future makes us one of the world’s leading private<br />
and independent airport investors and managers.<br />
