declined to euro - 657 thousand (euro 1.2 million in 2014 Q3) and Pretax was euro

Outlook


At this stage there are no elements to envisage a different trend in 2015 Q4 compared to the first nine months of the year. The civil engineering and public works industry keeps being characterized by a very difficult trading due to: a drastic reduction of public resources available for investment; the difficulty in promoting and developing private initiatives and the dramatic drop of mid to large tender. In this scenario the Group can count on a strong and well diversified Order backlog of Euro 1.05 billion.
