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 />
