The board of directors of Højgaard Holding A/S has today considered and
approved this interim report for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2012. 

  -- The group’s revenue was DKK 3.0 billion, up 27 % on the same period last
     year.
  -- 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.
  -- The group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 69 million, compared to a loss
     of DKK 6 million for the same period in the previous year.
  -- 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.





Best regards,
