PORR CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss: “We’ve delivered a consistently strong performance – despite a challenging geopolitical environment and a construction industry that is only slowly recovering”. PORR was able to respond to fluctuating market demands with innovative solutions and the flexibility offered by its broad range of services. “Not only have we delivered exciting projects and expanded our business areas, for example in healthcare construction, but our share price has also soared, leading to our inclusion in the Austrian Trading Index (ATX)”, said Strauss.

Production output rose to EUR 6,818m, setting a new record. 98.4% of this output came from PORR’s seven home markets – Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. Austria remains the largest home market. 

PORR’s order backlog rose by 11.7% to EUR 9,539m as of 31 December and remains well above annual output. Major projects in the segment Infrastructure International and in Romania, Poland and Czech Republic were significant contributors. The order intake also increased by 14.1% to EUR 7,813m. Decisive growth drivers here were the areas of civil engineering and infrastructure.

Trend ongoing in 2026 

Due to further efficiency gains, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to a substantial EUR 197m in the 2025 financial year, representing growth of 24%. A key factor for this growth was the strong performance in the home markets Austria, Poland and Romania. This resulted in an EBIT margin of 3.1%. 

Based on the continued high order backlog and expected market development, the Executive Board anticipates positive output, revenue and earnings growth in 2026. The long-term target of an EBIT margin of 3.5% to 4.0% by 2030 remains unchanged. 

The final figures for the 2025 financial year will be published in the PORR Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 on 26 March 2026.

 

The assessment of how the business will perform is based on the current economic conditions and the opportunities and risks in the respective markets. PORR has significantly reduced its operating activities in Qatar over the past two years. These are now essentially limited to administrative wrap-up work. It is assumed that the current conflict in the Middle East will have no significant impact on this. However, an escalation of geopolitical tensions, new trade barriers or renewed volatility on the financial markets could have a negative impact on economic development and PORR's business activities. Any forecast is therefore subject to uncertainty.
