Main topics
Key Figures FY 2013
Total Group revenues with EUR 1,506.2 million were 4.9 % above previous year (EUR 1,435.8 million).
The net loss with EUR -19.4 million (previous year: profit of EUR 25.8 million) was in the range as
guided in October 2013. The earnings were especially influenced by some one-off effects.
Following completion of the extensive well construction project executed by the Group's Resources
segment in Jordan, the earnings for the project had to be adjusted downwards by some
EUR 20 million. This adjustment triggered additional impairment losses.
The figures have been further impacted by reduced profit contributions from the Construction
segment resulting from delays on major projects at the start of the year.
The Equipment segment continues to suffer from weaker margins because fewer large rigs were sold
and because of increased competition.
Order backlog with EUR 765.2 million (previous year: EUR 785.0 million) is on a high level.
Already in 2013 the Group has initiated a cost-reduction program of EUR 20 million in order to attain
the earnings targets.
Forecast for 2014: total Group revenues of around EUR 1.55 billion, an EBIT of around EUR 75 million
and a profit after tax of around EUR 20 to 25 million.

BAUER Group Challenges of the world provide chances for the company
1
Urbanization Infrastructure Water
Environment Energy / Oil & Gas Values
The megatrend urbanization leads to
more complex inner-city solutions
High demand for new infrastructure and
for restoration of existing structures
Changing social values influence the
working and corporate environment
The pollution and contamination of soil
require innovative purification solutions
Energy and resource scarcity provide
chances for underwater and deep drilling
The shortage of clean drinking water
is one of the worlds biggest problems

Far East:
positive development
in all areas, especially
Hongkong, Malaysia
+ Other Americas:

Africa:
slight construction activities,
regional growth (Angola, Algeria);
demand for water and resources
Summary: Growing construction markets worldwide, but generally very unstable; huge pent-up demand.
Specialist foundation construction grows relative to construction market.
Energy sector becomes main booster – also because of energy turnaround (renewable
energies & reduction of energy consumption).
Middle East:
stable, especially
Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia;
Qatar many projects

slowly positive development,
especially Russia
Central Asia:

*adjusted because of IAS 19 R
Bauer’s business model with its three segments
requires considerably more working capital than
other companies in construction markets.
Changes during the year:
- Levels of working capital in the balance sheet during
the year are typically higher than year-end positions.
Construction segment:
- Construction contracts with short duration need
approx. 2 - 3 months pre-financing
(no advance payments, no front-loading of prices
possible, comparably long time needed for final
account settlement).
- On some jobs collection of money takes long time
due to disputes with the customer. Bad payment is
frequently used by customers to achieve reductions
in final payments. This can cause law cases.
Comparison with main contractor: they can finance
their company by a positive cash flow from jobs.

Equipment segment:
- Due to very special parts being installed, parts need
to be pre-ordered well in advance
approx. 3 months pre-financing of equipment
during production.
- Spare parts store is needed for large customer base.
- A relatively large rental fleet is needed for different
contract types (e.g. rental purchase).
- Deep drilling rigs add large numbers in value.
Resources segment:
- A mixture of the Construction and Equipment
segments.
