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 2013. 

  -- The group’s revenue in the first half year was DKK 1.8 billion against DKK
     3.0 billion for the same period last year.
  -- The group recorded a loss before tax in the first half year of DKK 25
     mil­lion, compared to a loss of DKK 69 million for the same period last
     year.
  -- In line with expectations, the MT Højgaard group recorded a positive
     operating result of DKK 25 million in the second quarter. For the first
     half year, a loss before tax of DKK 53 million was recorded, compared to a
     loss of DKK 142 million for the same period last year. The profit for the
     year is in line with expectations and is, as expected negatively affected
     by a lower level of activity compared to last year and the weak
     profitability of the order portfolio at the start of the year.
  -- For the full 2013, the Højgaard Holding group still expects revenue at the
     level of DKK 3.8 billion with a small positive result before tax, which,
     however, may be impacted positive or negative by the outcome of major
     disputes in MT Højgaard A/S.
