Vienna, 6 July 2016 The international rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P), in its July analysis, has confirmed the BBB credit rating for publicly listed construction group STRABAG SE. The outlook remains at "stable". The rating had been raised by one level last year.

The key performance indicators that had contributed to last year's rating increase continue to show good development, says S&P. The agency recognises the progress made in increasing profitability, especially in the area of risk management, and believes STRABAG to be on the right path toward an EBIT margin of 3 %. As in its previous reports, the company's strengths are seen in its stable margins, strong market positions and comfortable liquidity situation.

"The consistent improvement of our risk management can already be seen in the development of our EBIT margin. We are happy that this has now also been acknowledged by Standard & Poor's," says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE.
