Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue<br />
Royal <strong>BAM</strong> Group posted operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>of</strong> €7,920<br />
million <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, which is an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> €309 million<br />
(up 4 percent) compared with 2010 (€7,611 million).<br />
Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>in</strong>creased <strong>in</strong> all sectors with <strong>the</strong><br />
exception <strong>of</strong> construction and mechanical and electrical<br />
services. The <strong>in</strong>crease was almost entirely organic and<br />
was primarily due to less severe w<strong>in</strong>try periods and a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> large PPP and civil eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g projects that<br />
were <strong>in</strong> progress. The effects <strong>of</strong> exchange rate<br />
differences and takeovers on <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
revenue were small.<br />
Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue is divided as follows across <strong>the</strong><br />
sectors:<br />
(x €1 million) <strong>2011</strong> 2010<br />
Construction and Mechanical<br />
and Electrical Services<br />
3,390 3,459<br />
Civil Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g 3,834 3,659<br />
Property 674 593<br />
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) 508 311<br />
Consultancy and Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g 223 210<br />
Less: <strong>in</strong>tercompany sales (709) (621)<br />
7,920 7,611<br />
Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>in</strong> construction and mechanical and<br />
electrical services fell, <strong>in</strong> particular at <strong>the</strong> British and to a<br />
lesser extent also at <strong>the</strong> Belgian non-residential<br />
construction company. In <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands and Germany<br />
<strong>the</strong>re was a slight <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue.<br />
The civil eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g sector recorded strong growth <strong>in</strong><br />
operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue compared with 2010. Earn<strong>in</strong>gs went<br />
up <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands, <strong>the</strong> United K<strong>in</strong>gdom and Belgium<br />
<strong>in</strong> particular, ow<strong>in</strong>g to a number <strong>of</strong> large projects that<br />
were <strong>in</strong> progress. Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue decreased <strong>in</strong> Ireland<br />
and Germany.<br />
The <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> property sector largely concerned <strong>the</strong><br />
Dutch market and was due especially to <strong>the</strong> sale <strong>of</strong> a<br />
substantial number <strong>of</strong> homes from <strong>the</strong> supply <strong>of</strong> unsold<br />
property and good progress <strong>in</strong> current projects.<br />
Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue also went up <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> United K<strong>in</strong>gdom.<br />
In Ireland, operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue fell to zero. The Belgian<br />
property company recorded lower operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>2011</strong> than <strong>in</strong> 2010.<br />
The <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> PPP sector was<br />
related to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>creased number <strong>of</strong> projects <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
construction phase. Operat<strong>in</strong>g revenue <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
consultancy and eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g sector went up slightly.<br />
