Trading update for the first half of 2020, including Covid-19 impact

Bunnik, the Netherlands, 2 July 2020 – The extraordinary circumstances caused by the Covid-19 crisis have a considerable impact on Royal BAM Group nv. In addition, the company’s performance in the first half year is impacted by continued losses at BAM International, the recently announced Cologne metro settlement and to a lesser extent by underperformance of the German construction and Dutch civil engineering business. Due to these developments, the company expects a first half year adjusted loss before tax of approximately €130 - €150 million. The Executive Committee has decided to start the process of winding down BAM International, active outside BAM’s European home markets, given the lack of a positive outlook.

Düsseldorf, 25. Mai 2020 – Die Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG hat von der nordrhein-westfälischen Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf den Auftrag für zwei Lose beim Bau der neuen Stadtbahnlinie U81 erhalten. Die U-Bahn-Linie U81 soll den Düsseldorfer Hauptbahnhof mit dem Flughafen verbinden. Die Messe Düsseldorf wird ebenfalls angebunden. Ein Teil des ersten Abschnittes der Strecke im Norden der Stadt führt über vorhandene Gleise vom Freiligrathplatz in Richtung Norden. Abzweigend von dieser Trasse soll die neue Strecke dann den Verkehrsknoten Nordstern in Hochlage überqueren und in Richtung Flughafen fortgesetzt werden, wo ein unterirdischer Bahnhof am Terminal geplant ist. Neben der verbesserten Anbindung des Flughafens soll die U81 auch dazu beitragen, den Verkehr in der Düsseldorfer Innenstadt zu minimieren.
