2013Report

2013 was a challenging year for Abantia, shaped in the main

by successive regulatory changes affecting Renewable

Energies which slowed the applied engineering operations

in which we were engaged in this field in Spain practically

to a halt. Meanwhile, the investments in solar power plants

which we have in place in the country, above all the hybrid

biomass/solar thermal facility at Les Borges Blanques,

required inputs of cash rather than generating resources

during the year.

As a result of the above, a series of cost-saving measures

have been implemented to place the breakeven point at

€178M. Meanwhile, our commercial capacity has been

strengthened, above all outside of Spain, in order to increase

revenue by 18% in 2014.

In human resources terms, the workforce at 31 December

was 1,936 people, 4.3% fewer than a year earlier. 20% of

them work outside Spain.

The gross operating profit was 5 million euros.

As for the order book expected to be implemented over the

forthcoming 12 months, this stood at 31/12/13 at 157 million,

representing an increase of 20% compared with the figure

for the previous year, providing the basis for an economic

forecast for 2014 of 18% growth and revenue of 216 million

euros.

Of the order book at the start of 2014, 48% is international,

demonstrating that the measures adopted to diversify the

group’s operations geographically are bearing fruit.

Particular mention should be made of the first contract

awarded by Ecopetrol in Barrancabermeja, Colombia, along

with a contract from Enel Green Power in Chile for the

construction of a 36 MW solar photovoltaic power plant.

Contracts have continued to be secured in Peru and Mexico

in the Oil & Gas sector with Pemex, Calidda and Repsol, while

contracts have been signed in Haiti for the construction of a

hospital in Jacmel, and construction of 10 schools around the

country has also begun.

Likewise of note are the various contracts won in in both

the hospitals and the tertiary and residential sectors. The

country is revealing strong operational growth making us

hopeful of very positive prospects.

In Spain a number of operational lines have now been

implemented and consolidated, in particular tank and

puncture and shutdown operations in the Oil & Gas sector,

and the substations installed for Casa Tarradellas, Iberpotash

and LERSA. Automation operations have also expanded in

the automotive sector, with work performed for Opel and

Mercedes-Benz in Spain, and BMW and Volkswagen in the

United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany.

In conclusion, 2013 was a year of hard work for the future,

which will allow us to resume a path of growth.
