Activity abroad represents 83.1% of sales, growing by 3.2% compared to March 2012.

Spain represents a 17% of the total sales of ACS.

Operating results grew significantly. EBITDA accounted a 12% increase up to 744 Euro million, with a margin on sales of a 8.4% , thanks to the improvements in HOCHTIEF, and the positive evolution of the Industrial Services and Environment activities.
In the same direction, EBIT grew up to 416 Euro million, a 31.4% more than in March 2012. Margin on sales stood at 4.7%.
Ordinary net profit, excluding the extraordinary results of the Group, accounted for 193 Euro million, 39.8% ahead of the figure recorded last year, backed by a positive contribution of Industrial Services and the better financial results from the Corporation, as well as after including Iberdrola dividends the first quarter of the year.
Attributable net profit of the Group, that accounted for 168 Euro million, decreases by 18.8% compared to the figure accounted in March 2012, after a reduction this year of the extraordinary results that in 2012 included, amongst others, the capital gains from the sale of Clece, and that in 2013 account for, amongst others, the value adjustments of Iberdrola.

Financial Situation
Net debt of Grupo ACS accounts for 5,989 Euro million a decrease of a 42.9% compared to March 2012.
39% of the net debt of Grupo ACS corresponds to HOCHTIEF, that in the first quarter of 2013 accounted a net debt growth of 1,177 Euro million thanks mainly to the seasonal variation of its working capital, the payment of dividends in Leighton and from the net investment in machinery and concessions of 489 Euro million. Including this impact, the year to year debt increase of Hochtief accounts just for 477 Euro million.
The net debt of the rest of the Group has diminished by 140 Euro million in the first quarter, even after investing 90 Euro million, and 4,985 Euro million since March 2012, as a consequence of:
- The outstanding operating cash flow generation in the last twelve months, after a non significant working capital variation in the period;
- The sale of assets during 2012, specially the sale of Iberdrola and Abertis, as well as several energy transportation concessions, highways, wind parks, etc.;
- The changes performed in the equity swap contract on Iberdrola shares; and
- The sale of treasury stock in January 2013 for 360 Euro million.
- The current net debt account does not reflect the proceeds from the sale of a 70% the telecomm business in Australia performed by Leighton, ahead of 500 Euro million, nor the sale of the Airports performed by Hochtief, of 1,100 Euro million.
