• MT Højgaard A/S recorded a loss before tax of DKK 142 million, compared to a loss of DKK 21 million for the same period in the previous year. The loss was affected by considerable downward adjustments on projects and non-recurring cost for restructuring that was expensed in the first quarter.

• For the full year 2012, the Højgaard Holding group still expects to achieve revenue at the same level as in 2011, or possibly slightly higher. A pre-tax margin of around -1% is still expected.
