OHL Group Annual Report
2008
Letter from the Chairman
Dear Shareholders:
Once again, I have the satisfaction of addressing all of you at the beginning of the OHL Group’s 2008 Annual Report to share with you the events that, in my opinion, highlighted the course of the last year.
OHL closed 2008 with very satisfactory results despite the difficult macroeconomic environment, and has achieved double digit growth, both in EBITDA and in EBIT, reinforcing our position as an international and diversified Group.
The Spanish Economy
The Spanish economy closed 2008 in a recession for the first time in 15 years, after two consecutive quarters in contraction. The situation was similar in the Euro zone as well as in the EU-27, which, subsequent to the falls in their Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, registered the first recession since their creation in 1999. This difficult scenario joins the effect of the world financial crisis, triggered by the collapse of the sub-prime market in August 2007, followed by the combined real estate crisis and loss of competitiveness of our economy.
However, and despite this unfavourable situation, if we consider the whole of 2008, Spain’s growth was better than the Euro zone average. The Spanish economy ended last year with 1.2% growth, compared to 0.8% in the Euro zone and 0.9% in the EU-27.
The exterior deficit again became an important dead weight for our economy, reaching 9.5% of the GDP. Further, the finances of Public Administrations were reduced by the economic crisis and concluded 2008 with a 3.82% deficit of the GDP, with a negative register of 41,874 million Euros. This figure has been a a counterpoint to the largest fiscal surplus in the history of our democracy, obtained in 2007, when that period closed with a surplus of 2.23% of the GDP.
The Construction Sector
The construction sector is experiencing an important adjustment which is being seen reflected in its principal indicators. 2008 ended with 5.1% fall in activity. Despite the unfavourable scenario, growth in the civil works subsector is worth highlighting, having experienced an increase of 4.5% compared to the 5.5% it registered in 2007. The other subsectors presented negative figures with respect to growth, and residential building registered the largest rate of contraction, 13.5%, which contrasts with the 4% growth reached in the prior period.
In 2008, the sector generated sales of 193,280 Million Euros and employed 2,404,200 workers, representing 11.9% of the total workforce.
The Spanish cement industry has also been affected in a very important way by the crisis, with a decrease in consumption in 2008 very close to 24%, reaching 42.7 million tons, a situation that breaks a growing tendency maintained throughout ten years (1997-2007).
Additionally, public licitations, which in 2008 were situated at 39,812 Million Euros, had a 1.3% regression with respect to 2007. Regarding subsectors, civil works presented an increase of 1%, reaching a total 28,107 Million Euros. Conversely, public licitations for edification projects regressed 6.6%, situated at 11,705 Million Euros.
4
With respect to 2009, estimates indicate that investment in infrastructure by the Ministries of Development, Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs registered an increase of 3.4%, in real terms, according to the State’s General Budgets.
The Obrascón Huarte Lain Group
Results
The Group presented good results for the 2008 period despite the global economic crisis scenario. Sales reached 4,008.8 Million Euros, with a 6.5% increase with respect to 2007. Regarding operating margins, the Group’s EBITDA grew by 11.9%, reaching 607.6 Million Euros, representing 15.2% of sales. And it is important to highlight the Group’s 7.3% increase in net profit in 2008, up to 150.7 Million Euros.
The Group’s primary drivers of growth were activities in OHL International Construction and OHL Concessions, which together represented 49% of sales and 74% of the gross operating margin, followed by OHL Domestic Construction, with satisfactory results in terms of EBITDA and EBIT, which have grown 2.4% and 9.4%, respectively.
During 2008, the Ibex-35 Technical Advising Committee decided to include the OHL Group in the Index as of July 1. But that decision did not impede the severe negative effects that our share price suffered and continues to suffer, as does the rest of the construction sector, as a result of the tumultuous financial crisis that the global economy is suffering.
Portfolio
The short-term portfolio grew by 13.6% with respect to the previous period, reaching 6,024 Million Euros, equivalent to 18 months of total sales.
The long term portfolio grew 61.9% with respect to 2007, to 53,045 Million Euros, 95% of which corresponds to OHL Concessions and secures the Group’s business in the long term.
Situation with respect to the crisis
At this moment, no one doubts that we find ourselves before the worst global economic and financial crisis of the last decades. This crisis is having a huge impact on the Spanish economy and on the country’s construction sector.
In our country, the world financial crisis coincides with two other crisis’ specific to Spain: the real estate crisis, for having built double the amount of homes relative to sustainable demand during a prolonged period of time, and the loss of competitiveness of our economy, with accumulated effects in deterioration, by rising inflation and labour costs significantly superior to the Euro zone average.
But not all of the companies in the sector have been affected in the same way. Conforming to the strategy adopted and published in 2002, OHL has remained distant from any traditional real estate activity and, fulfilling the commitments with its clients, OHL has been progressively departing from the residential building sector which represents, to date, less than 2% EBITDA. As a consequence, having focused on activities at the margin of the real estate crisis, Obrascón Huarte Lain is not directly affected by it.
These aspects are complemented with other elements established in the business strategy, which the Group has been fulfilling successfully, anticipating the current problems. This strategy implies diversification, always in activities related to construction, and internationalization, always with prudent criteria.

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
Financial Policies
In 2008, the OHL Group continued its traditional safe activity, with a solid and conservative financial structure. This way, the company arrived at the close of the period with net debt with resources of 716.6 Million Euros, implying a low leverage level of an order of 2.68 times EBITDA with the Group’s resources.
Along this line, and as proof that our circumstances are foreign to the financial crisis that affects the real estate sector and some construction firms, it is important to note that OHL has 600 Million Euros of unused lines of financial credit, a good diversification in its sources of financing, which include 600 Million Euros from an emission of bonds in the Euro market with expiration in May 2012 and a total of 303.2 Million Euros from a syndicated loan also in the Euro market, which expires at the end of 2011, all of which are aspects that have permitted the Group to complete the period with a comfortable position in treasury of 765.1 million Euros, which currently situates us, at a time when many other companies have had to face severe financial difficulties, in a reasonably comfortable position.
Sustainable development
The positive results in the Group’s economic and financial sphere are complemented with the strategic commitment that OHL maintains to sustainable development, which complements the current Annual Report, thereby demonstrating the Group’s efforts to increase quality and representation of the information these documents contain.
The progress that the Group has made in the area of sustainability has been compensated by its inclusion, in April 2008, in the FTSE4Good Ibex Index, the first Stock Exchange indicator that evaluates sustainable development in Spanish companies and that recognizes OHL as one of the model companies in the areas of Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Finally, I would like to express, on my behalf and on behalf of OHL’s Board of Directors, our gratitude for the confidence and support provided by all of you, ladies and gentlemen shareholders of this company, without forgetting the important efforts of the individuals that integrate the Group’s human resources. Their commitment, efforts and dedication have been a fundamental factor in our growth and allow us to continue to advance in the fulfilment of objectives based on a process of continuous improvement, to which we all subscribe.

DOMESTIC CONSTRUCTIONIn 2008, following eleven consecutive years of growth, the construction sector suffered
an important regression of 5.1% in its activity, with production at around 193.280
Billion Euros, equivalent to 17.6% of the national GDP and 10.6% GVA (Gross Value
Added).
Despite this unfavourable scenario, it is convenient to highlight that the civil works
subsector experienced 4.5% growth, compared with the 5.5% it reached in 2007.
Conversely, the rest of the subsectors registered negative numbers in their evolution;
concretely, the residential building subsector experienced the highest contraction,
13.5%, a number that contrasts with the 4% progress it had registered in the previous
period.
In 2008, public bids rounded out at 40 Billion Euros, with a slight decrease of 1.3%,
with respect to 2007.
Construction also had negative figures in terms of employment, with an elimination
of nearly 300,000 jobs, situating employment in the sector at the end of de 2008 at
2,404,200 workers, close to 12% of the total employed Spanish population.
Despite the unfavourable data from the 2008 period, the construction sector
maintains its relevance in the Spanish economy through its important carry over
effects, both in terms of employment as well as in terms of activity. This way, in
the five year period from 2003-2007, construction contributed to Spain’s economic
growth with 27%; further, in the 1997-2007 period, of the 45.4% GDP, 10.6 points are
derived from investment in construction, and of them, 5.7 percentage points came
from investment in real estate.
OHL Domestic Construction Division is structured along three business lines:
• Domestic Civil Works
• Domestic Building
• Urban Services and Infrastructures
In the paragraphs that follow, a market analysis for each of OHL’s business lines is
carried out, indicating the most relevant activity in 2008, as well as predictions for
the future.
In 2008, Civil Works grew by 4.5%, compared

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
Domestic Civil Works
Market and Strategy
Of the total volume of public works brought up for contest in Spain during 2008,
which exceeded 39.812 Billion Euros, the civil works subsector, with 70.6% of this
amount, continues to be the driver of this activity. Bids for projects increased by 1%
compared to volume in 2007, situating the figure at 28.106 Billion Euros.
Transportation infrastructures with 19.206 billion Euros, concentrated more than two
thirds of their bid parts in civil works; concretely, 68.3%. Urbanization projects took
second place at 4.812 Billion Euros, and finally, hydraulic projects, were situated at
3.624 Billion Euros.
The primary administrations promoting civil works were the following:
• The Central Administration was the most active, offering public bids for a total
amount of 17.302 Billion Euros (43.5% of total licitations), representing 6% more
than the previous year.
• The Autonomous administrations offered 13.033 Billion Euros in bids, an amount
practically equivalent to the 2007 amount and which implies 32.7% of the total
public bid activity promoted in 2008.
• Finally, the local and provincial administrations released to contest bids for
projects valued at 9.476 Billion Euros, with a 13.4% decrease with respect to
2007 and representing 23.8% of total 2008 licitations.

>> OHL Group Activities
The management carried out by the Ministry of Development should be highlighted,
with 14.623 Billion Euros in projects brought up for bid, 20.6% more than the 2007
volume. Its most important activity was highway projects, whose licitations by the
Highway General Management Division were at 3.870 Billion Euros. Meanwhile,
those projects promoted by ADIF, a public business entity charged with, among other
activities, the high speed railway network, grew 26.5%, up to 4.679 Billion Euros,
and the bidding amount from the General Railway Management was maintained at
865.5 Million Euros.
In 2008, the OHL Group’s Domestic Civil Works area reached a business figure of
1.019 Billion Euros, an amount that converted this activity into the most relevant
for the Domestic Construction Division and for the Group, by generating 57% of the
division’s production and 25.4% of OHL’s total business.
New hiring for projects in civil works reached 620.5 Million Euros, reflecting a volume
that situates this activity’s portfolio at 2.304 Billion Euros through December 31, 2008,
and guaranteeing more than 25 months of production.
This portfolio volume and the investment previsions contemplated in the government’s
Strategic Plan for Infrastructures and Transportation guarantee the sustainability of
revenue for OHL’s civil works area throughout 2009.
Relevant Activities
The sales figures for the OHL Group’s Domestic Civil Works division in the year 2008
contributed significantly to the production obtained. Among others, the following
projects should be highlighted:
• Conduction of water to Llanura Manchega (Cuenca)
• Railway Móstoles-Navalcarnero (Madrid)
• Soto del Real high speed rail tunnel (Madrid)
• Boqueixón-Santiago high speed rail underground (La Coruña)

Market and Strategy
According to activity indicators, the construction sector ended 2008 with a 5.3%
decline in investment with respect to 2007. This behaviour, worse in all respects than
that of the entire Euro zone, was due principally to the bursting of the real estate
market bubble, the collapse of the housing market; in other words, of residential
building, which represents an order of 50% of the total investment in construction.

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
The number of approved projects and licenses given fell by more than 50% with
respect to the year prior, and the decrease in investment in residential construction
reached 10% quotas. Some developments continue but they have slowed down due
to severe financial difficulties.
It can be predicted that this correction will be a long process, as there are still a high
level of new homes that need to enter the market, increasing the enormous existing
stock; and further, neither the downward pressure of prices nor the policies that are
to be implemented to facilitate mortgage credit and to activate the rental market
allow for optimism.
The construction crisis in Spain will be long and will be accentuated in 2009, year in
which the volume of residential construction will exceed 150,000 homes and of them,
if expectations are fulfilled, at least a third will be public sector promotions.
Taking all of this into account, and although during 2008, non-residential building
experienced a slight improvement, due to an important fall in the office market
segment and all that represents the private sector, as well as a very strong pressure
on prices provoked by strong competition among companies, estimations for 2009
predict a 10% fall in total construction investment, a drop that can reach 25% for
residential building , and slightly negative for the non-residential market.
These predictions are supported, nonetheless, by an enormous investment effort
by the Public Administrations, mostly in civil works, which will mark and define the
depth, repercussion, scenario and rate of recuperation.
The consumption of cement registered for the first time in 2008, after many years,
a negative evolution, with an annual regression that could exceed 15%, a fall in
percentage which elevates to 24% for all construction industry materials.
However, the most dramatic negative indicator
of the construction sector is the loss of jobs,
which is being produced at a very noticeable
rhythm. In 2008, nearly 300,000 jobs were
lost, according to employment statistics and
data regarding Social Security affiliation.
Resulting from this cause and effect scenario
is the large the group of companies, that are
starting to be important real estate developers
and construction firms, that are soliciting voluntary contests from creditors as they
cannot fulfil their payment obligations.

>> OHL Group Activities
At OHL, with minimal exposition to residential building from which the company
has been departing progressively in the last years, until representing only 18% of
our Domestic Edification portfolio, the impact of the crisis is much less than in other
companies within the sector, and its effects, which translate into a moderate size
adjustment, due also to the conservative attitude in relationships with private clients,
has barely had an effect on our company.
In this environment, and with evident financial strength, the policies adopted should
be looked at more closely: prudency in the recognition of executed projects; strict
rules in the sales documentation, and overall the materialization of payment; strict
control over direct costs and structures; rigorous accounting procedures; and in the
commercial and hiring area, a radical focus towards public non-residential edification
with high added value, which requires technical competence where singularity is a
factor that moderates competitiveness.
The company was awarded 289.4 Million Euros in new projects, during a year in which
there has been a very notable cut in project spending by the Public Administrations.
These contracts have allowed Domestic Building to conclude 2008 with a portfolio
of requests equivalent to 852 Million Euros, a volume equivalent to 16 months of
production. The prediction for 2009 production is at 567 Million Euros.
Of this portfolio, 83.6% belongs to the Public Sector and 16.4% belongs to the
Private Sector. Regarding project types, 33% correspond to hospitals; 36% to large
administrative buildings; 18% to residential edification, and the remaining 13%,
to other projects (sports, leisure, industrial, etc.). This breakdown allows for a
clear appreciation of the fall in the housing market and of the entire private sector
market.
In the area of concessions –PPP projects –, there are different very important actions

underway and we expect that in 2009 these will take fruit and continueconsolidating
and supporting the Portfolio with significant weight. Functioning fully and to complete
client satisfaction are the los Mossos de Escuadra police stations and the Southeast
Hospital (Madrid); Barcelona’s City of Justice, which once investment is finalized,
will be in the process of transfer and occupation. Additionally, the construction of
Burgos Hospital continues at a good rhythm, as does Barcelona’s Hotel Vela, which
will be inaugurated at the end of this year.
The Facilities Management area, through the companies Astral and Ingesan, begins
its third year of with high growth rates, superior to 20% interannual, and a 110 million
Euro portfolio of requests. Highlighted among this year’s new clients are the Madrid
Metro and the Juan Canalejo Hospital Complex in La Coruña.
Relevant Activities
In the area of hospitals, Mahón Hospital of the Balearic Government Health Council
in Menorca was inaugurated (40 Million Euros) and the construction work on the
Mar Menor Hospital (Murcia) continues at a good pace, as do the 12 de Octubre
Polyclinic and the San Carlos Clinic, both in Madrid, as well as Fuerteventura and
Elda Hospitals, among others.
Among the cultural projects completed in 2008, the following should be highlighted:
IODACC (63.6 Million Euros), Temporary and Permanent Oscar Domínguez Exposition
Centre and Public Library for the Cabildo Insular of Tenerife, and the Canal Theatres
(45.5 Million Euros), for the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Both projects are
characterized by their great detail and technical difficulty, and for having been
designed by world class architects. Also worth pointing out, in the area of education,
is the R+D Building (14 Million Euros) at the University of Zaragoza.
Gran Hotel Palacio de Isora. Tenerife Island. Spain.

>> OHL Group Activities
In the tourism sector, the Gran Hotel Palacio de Isora (86 Million Euros), built by the
Meliá Group in Southern Tenerife, began operating in the summer. It has also been
the domestic building project with highest production in 2008.
Finally, the contribution to Expo Zaragoza 2008, where OHL built the Water Tower
(47 Million Euros) and the Mexico Pavilion are worth noting. There is no doubt that
the first was the Expo’s Icon; a singular and emblematic project of the Expo; which
stood out as a model reference and highlight for the entire exhibition site, as the most
widely recognized and visible project of the Expo. At 80m high and with a horizontal
section in the shape of a water drop, its technical difficulty lied in the steel and crystal
framework that defines the skin of a great interior hole which displayed the exposition
“Water for Life,” with spectacular content related to water, nature and culture.

Urban and Infrastructure Services
Market and Strategy
The conservation and maintenance strategy of the Urban and Infrastructure Services
have experimented great growth in the last years, especially if diverse particularities
of this business are taken into account, such as the atomization of contracts
and eminently local contracts, which have contributed to extremely aggressive
competition, with an increasingly noticeable need to reduce costs, improve efficiency
and increase productivity.
For these reasons, the Urban and Infrastructure Service business line adapted its
organization to the markets demands, reallocating funds, fostering more autonomy
and increasing competitiveness.
For this, the company has organized segments by activity through specialized
companies:
Pacsa Urban and Natural Environment Services is the company that leads this
activity and counts on the support of Irena as a subsidiary in environmental and
landscaping restoration.
Elsan, together with Oshga, is dedicated to infrastructure maintenance activities,
circulation routes, airports and gas.
This reorganization, in addition to increasing efficiency and productivity levels,
projects towards clients a sharper image of specialization.
Relevant Activities
During 2008, Urban and Natural Environment Services, led by Pacsa, developed its
activity the maintainence of urban areas, urbanization and remodelling projects,
gardening and urban furniture equipping.
Also, through Irena, the Service develops contracts related to the natural environment,
such as landscape restoration, maintenance and cleaning of rain waters, coasts and
dams, among others.
Urban Services and Infrastructures adapted their organization to meet market’s very automated and competitive demands
24
>> OHL Group Activities
Road Services, with Elsan as the lead company, focuses its activity on Airport
Infrastructure maintenance, construction of roads, and pavement reinforcement
and rehabilitation.
Integral Conservations, also with Elsan as leader, develops its activities in the areas
of conservation, maintenance and winter highway maintenance, and roads across
Spain, as well as the construction and maintenance of gas stations and commercial
areas along roads.
Gas Services develops its activity throughout various parts of Spain through Elsan and
Oshga, both by obtaining clients (new members) as well as through the construction
of networks, setbacks, connections and domestic and industrial installations.
The Urban and Infrastructure Services business line provided the OHL Group with
sales of 136 Million Euros in 2008, a figure slightly lower than 2007, as a result of
the closing of the edification business line.
However, projects awarded reached 146 Million Euros, representing 15% more than
the amount reached in the previous year.

INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION
Market and Strategy
In 2008, OHL’s International Construction Division consolidated its expansion into
new markets, with the the vocation of permanence always dominating. This policy
is guaranteed by the 63.92% growth in its portfolio in the short term with respect to
the year prior and due to the fact that the company won of a total of 46 projects in
the international market during the period.
Fruit of these policies and its brilliant results is OHL’s excellent position in the ranking
of international contractors published by the prestigious magazine Engineering News
Record (ENR), in which the Group has continued to escalate positions and has come
to occupy Ranking number 28 globally.
United States and Canada
In 2008, the Group acquired a percentage of control of Arellano Construction and
Stride Constructors in the State of Florida. With these new alliances, OHL consolidates
its presence in the United States and completes its portfolio of activities and services
in this market, including the edification of hospitals, a sector in which Arellano
Construction specializes. This company complements the activities of the two
subsidiaries acquired in 2006: Community Asphalt, in transportation infrastructure,
and Tower-OHL Group, in edification.
With the experience, and financial and technical support of OHL’s technical group,
its American companies have been able to confront new challenges and obtain
projects with innovative financial models or in new areas of activity. As such, the
US-1 contracts, valued at US$111 Million, and I-95, valued at US$198 Million, are the
first examples of projects promoted in Florida under a financing model similar to the
“German method,” meaning that the total payment for the amount due is carried
out in phases.

US-1 is also the first project in the United States awarded to a private company
through an “unsolicited proposal.”
Added to these important and innovative projects, are the awarding of the First
Phase of the Orange Line, for US$360 Million, converting OHL into the first Spanish
company to develop a railway project in the United States. The contract consists of
the construction of a section of the Orange Line which will lengthen the Miami metro
(Metrorail) towards Miami International Airport.
More than 1,000 employees and eight offices in the State of Florida situate OHL
among one of the largest local companies recognized in the sector. This recognition
is reflected in the awards that the company’s subsidiaries have received. Florida
Transportation gave Community Asphalt the award that distinguishes the company
as the #1 FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) subcontractor responsible for
the creation of civil infrastructures in the State.
Tower, on the other hand, was awarded Best Industrial Building for International
Corporate Park, as well the Best Multiuse Building for the construction of City Palms,
given by the prestigious association, ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors).
Special mention should also be given to Miami Green Building project, which was
developed by Arellano Construction and is the first building classified as “Green”
in Miami.
Together with the activities of its affiliates, OHL has continued its commercial activity
in diverse States throughout the U.S. market, as well as in its neighbour country,
Canada, where the company has been making important strides in the hospital sector
in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The strategic interest of OHL in Canada was
consolidated, at the end of 2008, by establishing an affiliate to more closely follow
development in market.

Central and Eastern Europe
The Czech Republic is one of the principal countries that contribute to the OHL Group’s
sales and employment. OHL entered the market with the acquisition of the Czech
construction Group ŽPSV, composed of 20 companies, among which the following
are highlighted:
- ŽPSV: OHL has 89.94% participation. This company is dedicated to the
prefabrication of concrete blocks, especially railroad crossings, of which OHL is
the only fabricating company in the Czech Republic.
- OHL ŽS: The largest company in the Czech Group and one of the country’s principal
construction companies, with significant history in railway work. Previously
denominated as ZS Berno, OHL’s participation is at 88%.
- ŽPSV Cana: Slovak prefabrication company and the only developer of railroad
crossings in Slovakia. The OHL Group represents 53.01% of its capital.
- ŽS Bratislava: Slovak construction company, with a tradition in railway building
and now beginning building services. OHL has 68.34% participation.
- ŽPSV Varna: Bulgarian prefabrication company and fabricator of railroad
crossways. OHL Group has 89.94% of the company.
Subsequent to the acquisition of the Czech Group, the OHL Central Europe subsidiary
was created as the head of this business group, with headquarters and central offices
in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
In December 2005, through its OHL ZS subsidiary, the OHL Group made a very
important step in the Czech railway market, by entering as a shareholder of the

company, Tratová Strojní Spolecnost (TSS), with 49%, in the context of the process
of privatization carried out by the public company CD (Czech Railways). With this
participation, OHL has achieved a dominant position in the maintenance and
conservation market of the Czech Republic’s railway lines, since República TSS is the
company that has the most resources, both human and machines, for modernization
and reparation and maintenance of the Czech Railways, activity in which it boasts
more than 55 years of experience.
The excellent evolution of results during recent periods and the expectations for
growth are an important guarantee for the OHL Group in Central and Eastern Europe.
OHL Central Europe’s turnover during the 2008 period was at 500 Million Euros,
representing 35% and 12.5%, respectively, of OHL’s total business, and representing
the Group’s leading international market.
OHL’s effort and work since its entrance into this Czech business group has been
compensated in the expansion and diversification of its Portfolio in the region. Since
December 31, 2003, figures have increased from 211.6 Million Euros, 73% in railway
work, to 600 Million Euros, 35% in railway work, through December 31, 2008.
This important growth has been possible due to reinforcement in the Czech market and
international growth. OHL ZS is the first Czech construction company by international
business volume, with subsidiary companies in Slovakia, Bulgaria and Bosnia and
Herzegovina, with construction contracts in seven countries: Czech Republic, Slovak
Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Bosnia, Montenegro and Azerbaijan.
Further, during 2008, necessary action was initiated for the entrance into new
markets, such as Romania, Hungary, Ukraine and Russia, with the goal of extending
OHL’s active presence in Central Europe and the Orient.
Among the principal adjudications in the year 2008, the following can be
highlighted:
Railway projects: optimization of the Strabo–Planar Mariánských Lázní railway
stretch (Czech Republic), with a 158.4 Million Euro budget; modernization of the
Zilina–Krasno nad Kysucou railway line (Slovakia), with a 153.6 Million Euro budget
and reconstruction of the Mezötúr–Gyoma railway stretch (Hungary), with an 83.9
Million Euro budget.
OHL Central Europe’s turnover was 500 Million Euros in 2008, situating this region as the leading international market for the OHL Group

Environmental Work: Expansion of the potable water network and the Ruse City
Sewage System (Bulgaria), with a 13.5 Million Euro budget.
Turkey
The construction of the high velocity train between Ankara and Istanbul, completed
with total success in 2008 by the UTE (Temporary Union of Companies) led by OHL, is
one of the most complex railways built by a Spanish construction company outsider
of Spain. During 2008, the client (Turkish State Railways) began the provisional
reception of the project, which is expected to conclude during 2009.
In addition, the work at the east water treatment plant in Konya
experienced significant progress during 2008, with its completion expected in the
first quarter of 2009.
OHL International Construction has a special vocation of permanence in this
competitive market, in which it continues to strive for important civil works projects,
Ankara-Istanbul High Speed Train, in Turkey, and one of the most complex railway projects completed by OHL or any Spanish construction company internationally.

network continues to be a priority objective.
The Highway Concession program, announced during 2008, is also being analyzed
with special interest.
Middle East
OHL International Construction developed intense commercial activity during the last
two years in the Middle East, participating in processes, both in prequalification as
well as licitations, of important projects, although always with very selective criteria
regarding the selection of operations in which it becomes involved.
This activity gave its first fruits at the beginning of 2008, when the UTE led by OHL
was awarded the contract for the Sidra Medical and Research Centre in Qatar (Doha),
one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the world. This contract, with
a budget of 1.645 Billion Euros, represents the largest project in OHL’s history. The
project included the design, construction, equipment and maintenance of a building
complex with a total surface area of 326,000 m². It includes a hospital, an external
clinic, a General Services building, a parking lot and a Mosque. It will be a first class
health, research and education centre of reference in the Persian Golf, both for
international and local professionals and patients.
The Middle East is a market of special interest for the OHL Group, whose objective
is to consolidate an active and permanent participation in this region in the next
years as an asset, and permanent participant in developing all types of infrastructure
projects.
North Africa
OHL’s active presence in Algeria in the last years, materialized in the construction of
two very relevant projects including the Highway Bypass in Algeria and the railway
line between Annaba and Ramdane Djamel, both underway and expected to reach
maximum production limits in 2009. This was seen extended in 2008 by the awarding
of the constriction contract for the Orán Convention Centre by Sonatrach, the largest
Algerian public company, which manages the country’s gas and petroleum.
This extremely important project, with a budget exceeding 580 Million Euros, was
signed at the beginning of 2008 under a fast track scenario and should be completed
for use in April 2010, for the 16th International Congress and Exhibition on Liquefied

and an underground parking lot and will be a true model icon, both for the client as
well as for the city of Orán.
OHL is also studying with great interest opportunities
that are being presented in Libia, as a result of the
opening of this market, which has been consolidating
in the last years
Latin America
OHL’s activity in the Latin American markets dates back to 1970 and has its origins
in Argentina. Since then, the Group’s presence is continuously reinforced from
the permanent delegations in various countries, in which the company carried out
large infrastructure and edification projects, with intense activity in Mexico, Chile,
Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.
Within the current global economic climate, Mexico stands out strategically in the
Latin American market. At the beginning of 2009, Felipe Calderón, Mexico’s President
presented the “National Agreement in Favor of the Family Economy and Employment
For Better Living,” which supports the acceleration of the National Infrastructure
Program, in such a way that in 2009 the country will have at its disposal a historic
budget of 31 Billion Euros for infrastructure construction.
It was during the 2008 period that the OHL Group’s participation has been most
notable in Mexico, where the company completed the construction of the Amozoc-
Perote Tollway. Its inauguration was held on November 12th with the presence of
Mexican President Felipe Calderón.
In the first semester of 2008, the first phase of construction of the Buenavista-
Cuautitlán underground train was completed. Its inauguration took place on June
10th at the Buenavista-Lechería stretch. In the second semester, the Cuautitlán
and Tultitlán Stations were completed and subsequently inaugurated in the first
week of January 2009, thereby completing 27 km of work and six stations. With a
transportation capacity of 2,224 passengers per train, this project benefits 4.8 Million
Mexicans, reducing travel time by 70%.
During 2008, OHL was awarded the public bid for the construction and concession of
the Elevated Bicentenary Viaduct, a project of great magnitude in the State of Mexico.
The first phase, which involves 23.5 km and reversible traffic, should be concluded
in 2010, the bicentenary year of Mexico’s independence and the centenary year of

OHL builds two of Mexico’s most symbolic projects: the Elevated Bicentenary Viaduct and the Exterior Mexiquense Circuit
the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. This first phase will include three lanes and
will link with the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense Highway (Phase III, Stretch I), which
the OHL Group is also administering and building.
The results reached with the execution and launch of the first phase of the Circuito
Exterior Mexiquense Highway allowed OHL to continue with the project in 2008,
beginning the construction of Phase II, at 7.5 km long, and of Phase III’s 10km long
Stretch I.
The construction of Puebla’s Libramiento Norte will begin in the near future, in
the capital of this Mexican state with the same name, at the A4 State Tollway, with
an approximate length of 31.5 km, awarded in February 2008. In Central America,
commercial activity is taking place in the following countries: Honduras, Costa Rica,
Panama and Belize.
In Chile, La Reina Military Hospital, the most important in Latin America, was
completed in 2008, as was the construction of piques and tunnels of Stretch
2 for the lengthening of Maipú Line 5 of the Santiago, Chile Metro and the
works of the secondary shaft that connects the Camino de las Frutas and the
Sector 2 of the Los Andes Highway (International Route 60Ch). Sector 1 of this
route continues in progress, and is expected to conclude in 2010. Additionally,
work has continued on the Coquimbo City Hospital and on the collector for the
cleaning of the Mapocho River, in Santiago, which are expected to be finalized
in 2009.
Additionally, at the beginning of the period in Chile, work on the Ministry of
Public Works institutional building began in the city of La Serena and the civil
work corresponding to Stretch 1 and inter-stations for the lengthening of Maipú
Line 5 of the Santiago Metro, began.
La Reina Military Hospital in Santiago, Chile, is considered
one of the largest and most advanced in Latin America.

>> OHL Group Activities
In Ecuador, with presence since 1981, OHL has executed projects with high degrees
of technical complexity, as a company of reference in the construction of tunnels.
En 2008, the construction of the San Eduardo tunnels in the city of Guayaquil was
complete. This project consisted of the construction of unidirectional road tunnels,
with three lanes at 1.3 km in length each, converting them into the longest and largest
of the country. Thanks to this Project, the Guayaquil Construction Chamber awarded
OHL distinction as “Construction Company of the Year.”
In Argentina, OHL in recent years has been developing important edification projects,
especially in the area of social, health and safety infrastructure in the context of the
official policies implemented in this area by the successive governments.
One characteristic of these healthcare projects under execution is that they include
existing rehabilitation centres, implying very efficient organization which includes
adequate planning by stages. Currently, the New Burn Centre is being worked on,
together with progress in other functional areas, constituting the first renovation
phase of Córdoba Hospital and the construction of the High Complexity Medical
Institute (IMAC) in the Province of Córdoba, with a total surface area of 28,522 m²,
and 35 beds.
Also in the Province of Córdoba, and at an elevated execution level, the Misericordia
Hospital is being built, with a 10,000 m² surface area and 80 beds. The project is
expected to be finalized in May 2009. Also underway is the last phase of the group
of eight schools that were contracted within the plan for 43-schools and additional

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
In Peru, with the acquisition at the beginning of 2008 of Constructora TP, SAC
(previously C. Tizón P SAC), one of the most important in the country, OHL strongly
positions itself in the country, where it has previously executed various projects.
The Peruvian Construction market will grow at an important rate in the next few
years, due primarily to the existing infrastructure deficit on a national scale and to
the Government’s interest in correcting this deficit to achieve predicted levels of
economic growth for the country.
Currently, a stretch of road is being worked on in the Interoceánico Sur road corridor,
which will unite the Peruvian coast with Brazil, establishing a new road connection
between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, from which the project’s name was born.
The stretch under way is located in the lower rainforest of the Madre de Dios and
Cuzco departments, in the south of Peru, in an area with very complex and difficult
to access topography.
The OHL Group signed in February 2009 the contract for the concession of the Red
Vial 4, a 356 km stretch from Panamericana Norte between Pativilca and Trujillo. The
project includes the construction of the second road from Trujillo to the South.
It is clear that the diversification, the careful selection of markets, maintaining
healthy prudent principles, and the vocation of permanence in these countries, have
allowed OHL to obtain important contracts and to consolidate a portfolio of projects
that guarantees balanced growth in the future.
The President of Peru, Alán García, and of OHL, Juan-Miguel Villar
Mir, sign the concession contract for the Red Vial 4, on the North
Panamerican Route.

INDUSTRIAL
Market and Strategy
OHL Industrial is the OHL Group’s youngest business division. Created at the
beginning of 2008, it introduced the Group into the engineering and construction
markets of industrial installations, approaching this new activity especially under
the modality of turnkey or EPC projects and of industrial concessions, with a clear
international vocation.
This new division began through the acquisition of four companies with ample
experience in the sector and that belonged to the former Ecolaire Group: Ecolaire
Spain, general industrial engineering; Projects and Systems (Prosisa) and Atmos
Española, specialized in engineering management of solids, and Chemtrol Projects
and Systems (Chepro), a reference in creating systems that fight fires.
In its first period of activity, in 2008, the division reached a turnover of 25.5 Million
Euros and an EBITDA of 1.6 Million.
Ecolaire Spain is the engineer of the specialized division for turnkey project
development in the industrial sector, although the company’s intense activity in the
areas of refinery, petrochemicals, energy and environment all stand out.
In 2008, the traditional industrial engineering market (refinery and petrochemicals)
suffered a progressive contraction, restricting itself to pure engineering contracts
(not turnkey) of small complexity. On the contrary, in the renewable energy sector,
construction of prefabricated thermo solar centres registered a rapid expansion,
driven by a favourable tariff system which will be maintained through mid-2009.
Ecolaire will concentrate its efforts on this sector.
Prosisa is an engineering firm specialized in projects managing solids to grains in
the most diverse areas: mines, quarries, open pits, cement, bone, metallurgy, cargo
ports and terminals, chemical and glass and steam power plants, among others.
Atmos Spain, on the other hand, is recognized in the mining and cement industry
for the accredited quality of its designs and fabrication of machinery and capital
goods. The company has exported to numerous countries, directly and through other
engineering firms.
OHL Industrial introduced the Group to the engineering market and the construction of turnkey plants

>> OHL Group Activities
Finally, Chepro has consolidated into an
international engineering firm in area of
protection against fires, an activity in which
it has more than thirty years of experience.
The company specializes both in active as
well as passive protections, as well as in high
temperature textiles, thermal insulations that
can be dismantled, expansion joints and
fillers.
Relevant Activities
During 2008, Ecolaire Spain’s activity was principally based on the development of
pure engineering projects for its regular clients, including Cepsa, BP and CLH, and
its first activities as engineer for the OHL Group, participating in the Orán Convention
Centre Project, built by OHL. From its creation in 1976, Ecolaire has successfully
developed more than 120 projects in refinery, petrochemicals, fertilizer storage
systems and gas.
On the other hand, Prosisa has in its portfolio more than 200 projects executed in
the management of solids. During 2008, the company collaborated closely with OHL
Industrial in the elaboration of an offer for a phosphogypsum plant in Saudi Arabia
(Maad´en Project), and has also carried out projects in the Andean Steam Power Plant
(Chile), for the carbon discharge terminal in la Coruña (Spain; Medusa–Unión Fenosa
Project), for the new silicone line in the Sabon factory (Ferroatlántica), as well as the
technical advice on the wooden ribbons of the tunnel in Navalcarnero for OHL.
Chepro’s most relevant activity during 2008, in the area of active protection against
fires, took place internationally, with projects executed in Algeria, Chile, Egypt
and Qatar. In Qatar, OHL developed a system against fires for the the Masaiced
cogeneration plant. In the domestic market, the work by Cepsa, Acerinox, Endesa
and Petronor should be highlighted, in addition to the maintenance work at SABIC
Innovative Plastics, in Cartagena.
In the area of high temperature textiles and and firewalls, OHL has continued creation
and supply for numerous companies in the petrochemical and energy sectors, etc.,
as well as for maintenance and assembly companies.

OHL CONCESSIONS
Market and Strategy
2008 involved another period of growth for OHL Concessions. The subsidiary that
leads the Concessions division strengthened its position in the international ranking
of transportation concession companies in a significant way.
At the close of 2004, OHL Concessions had a total of 10 highway concessions that
amounted to 1,348 kilometres. Just four years later (through December 31, 2008),
the number of kilometres in concession grew to 4,401. These were managed by 22
companies. Included in this figure was the concession of the Red Vial Nº 4 in Peru,
awarded in December 2008, although the signing of the contract took place in
February 2009.
Consequently, the growth experienced in the last four years in this division is quite
notable: 227% kilometres in concession, 175% in the average annual daily traffic
volume and 120% in the number of subsidiaries. These figures, together with the
consolidation of the company in the rest of its business lines, have reinforced OHL
Concessions as one of the largest transportation infrastructure operators on a global
scale and have converted this division into the more important for the OHL Group,
representing in 2008, 55.9% of the OHL Group’s total EBITDA, 13.5% of the business
volume and 81% of the Group’s investment.
During 2008, the inauguration of new Infrastructures and the positive behaviour of the
concessionary companies with projects in operation and construction have permitted
maintaining the growth line in OHL Concessions´ principal economic parameters. As
a result, Sales grew by 24,5%, representing a total 542.4 Million Euros, while EBITDA
elevated to 339.9 Million, with a 7.2% increase.

Relevant Activities
For OHL Concessions, one of the most relevant activities during the 2008 period was
constituted by the February 14 signing, between OHL Brazil and the Federal Brazilian
government, of the concession contracts for the administration and improvement of
5 highway lots belonging to the federal network, converting the Group into the largest
highway concession operator in Brazil, where it has a market quota of 25%, with 3,226
km. The signature of these contracts initiated an intense program of improvements in
road surfaces and pavements and the establishment of offices and control centres.
In Mexico, under the integral design scheme, construction, financing and subsequent
operation, two new road projects were incorporated into the OHL Concession
Portfolio: the 31.5 km long Puebla Libramiento Norte, with a total generated
investment of 134 Million Euros, and the Elevated Bicentenary Viaduct which,
with a 30 year concession, is structured in three phases, with a total expected
investment of 1,188 Million Euros.
In Peru, in December 2008, OHL Concessions was awarded the concession for
the Red Vial Nº 4 on the section between Pativilca and Trujillo. The contract was
signed in February, 2009.
In addition to the incorporation of transportation infrastructures in concession,
among the relevant acts of the last period are the closing of financing for projects
in investment phase and the inauguration of new infrastructures:
- In Mexico, for the Financing for Phases II and III of the Exterior Mexiquense Circuit,
Mexiquense Concessionary company signed a loan for 6 Billion Mexican pesos,
an amount equivalent to 375 Million Euros.

ENVIRONMENT
Market and Strategy
OHL’s Environment division, as an OHL Group Business division in the water treatment
market, was consolidated as one of the principal operators in the sector through its
head company, OHL Environment Inima, with a significant job awarded in 2008.
In the domestic market, a bid number above the average historic number has been
maintained, fundamentally due to the pending investments in desalination by
the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs through the state company,
Acuamed, with the AGUA program.
On the international market, numerous projects were bid on, fundamentally as
concession contracts with operation and maintenance periods above 20 years in
countries like Algeria, Mexico, Brazil and the Arab Emirates. Inima is one of the
Spanish companies with greatest presence and activity outside of Spain, with
desalination plants operating in Chile, Brazil, Mexico and the United States, and
currently under construction in Algeria.
Additionally, during 2008, OHL Environment Inima participated in the RDI public
contests with various high technology projects within the National Science and
Technology program of the Ministries of Industry, Tourism, Commerce, Environment,
Rural and Marine Affairs.
The company’s own technology, together with ample experience and a strong
domestic and international implementation, allow for confronting future prospects
with guarantees, relying on the support of the following strategies:
- Domestic Market: maintain market quota, primarily through the National Water
Quality Plan 2008-2015, with investment expected at around 20,000 Million Euros,
and the 2007 Royal Reutilization Decree, which incorporates tertiary treatment to
increase wastewater quality in a large number of installations.
- International Market: Entrance into emerging markets such as the United States,
the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia, fostering alliances with local groups,
without dismissing acquisitions as routes to growth.
Los Cabos desalination plant in, Baja California, Mexico.
The hiring of OHL
Environment in the domestic
market doubled the predicted objective for

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
- Diversification of activity: incorporating new business with high technology
components, such as thermal dryers, mud treatment and others.
- Increase OHL’s own technology as an added value by stimulating RDI activity.
Relevant Activities
Both the technical capacity as well as the commercial effort developed by OHL
Environment Inima throughout 2008 translated into an important number of
adjudications, both in desalination as well as in potable and wastewaters.
The following are worth noting: Potable Water Treatment Plant in Llanura Manchega
(Cuenca), which is the most important potabilizing plant put up for bid by the Ministry
of Environment in 2008, with a 3 m3/sec capacity; the desalinator in Moncofa, in
Castellón, with 35,000 m3/day, and the Mogi-Mirim Concession in Brazil with Orbal
technology (concentric canal system through which wastewater is oxygenated, until
its arrival in a decanter). The adjudication of this project consolidates the presence
of Inima in this country.

During 2008, the Alicante II desalinator, with a 65,000 m3/day capacity, began
exploitation. This is the first desalinator put into function in Spain with an energy
recuperation system through isobaric cameras (ERI®).
Work also began on the Boadilla wastewater treatment plant (Madrid) and the
Benalmádena wastewater treatment plant was launched (Málaga), both of which
were totally open to biological filter technology.
In addition, the work on important plants continues at a good pace and within the
important fixed time periods, such as the Algeciras wastewater treatment plant, a
relevant reference in biological processes using bio filtration as well as the Alicante-
North wastewater treatment plant. The expansion work on the Majadahonda ETAP
in Madrid also began.
In the United States, the Taunton River(Boston-Massachusetts) brackish water
treatment plant is already operating and in Algeria, the work on the Mostaganem
desalinator (200,000 m³/day), with inverse osmosis technology and one of the
largest in the world, as well as the Cap Djinet (100,000 m³/day), with the same
technology.
It is also important to note the award by the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine
Affairs of the RDI Project for the “Reduction of production of mud of a wastewater
treatment plant through oxic-anoxic digestion at room temperature,” with the
important objective of diminishing the production of mud by 40%.

DEVELOPMENT
Market and Strategy
OHL Development integrates the activity of the OHL Group into the promotion
and exploitation of mixed-use tourism infrastructures, with important projects
in Mexico and with a clear international vocation.
Tourism, like other economic sectors, is not immune to the deterioration of the
global economy. The general 2% growth of international tourism in 2008 is due
to the notable results from the first half of the year, prior to the rough cooling
off of the economy, having produced a decrease in activity already in the last
months of 2008.
This scenario affected the different tourism segments in distinct measures. In
the area of luxury tourism, in which OHL Development has positioned itself, the
strength of the brands linked to the projects limit to a great degree the effects
of the international economic crisis. At the same time, the focus on the North
American market allows the company to benefit from the recuperation of the
economy, which will surely improve at a faster rate than other markets, thanks
to the flexibility of their economic structures.
As a consequence of this strategy, the projects underway will not only decrease
in operation volume or profitability, but will on the contrary, continue to increase
not having yet accomplished their ship’s velocity.
The general economic scenario can also provide favourable opportunities to
develop new projects in areas that wouldn’t have been viable in the economic
context of the last years.
Relevant Activities
With respect to the exploitation of the already active assets, it is important to
note the continued improvement of the results of exploitation, approaching cruise
ship levels at Fairmont and Rosewood hotels.
In addition, during 2008, the El Camaleón Golf Course was under exploitation and
by February 2009, it will have had the third edition of the prestigious Mayakoba
Golf Classic, the only official tournament in the history of the PGA celebrated
outside of the U.S. and Canada.

>> OHL Group Activities
The complex’s third hotel, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, has its inauguration expected
for March 1, 2009. The construction of the fourth hotel, Viceroy Mayakoba,
continues in its first phase, with very advanced studies of the second phase.
In the San Francisco de Puebla Project, the company is working on the exploitation
of the shopping centre, with 16,300 m² of rentable surface area as well as of the
boutique hotel, La Purificadora, also in Puebla.
In the same complex, studies have been carried out of a large warehouse which will
culminate in the emblematic development in the city of Puebla, with production
expected to begin during 2009.
In Mexico D.F., after completing the purchase 19,500 m² piece of land in the Santa
Fe neighborhood, one of the most exclusive and most dynamic of the city, and
the headquarters of the majority of large corporations that operate in Mexico,
market and viability studies have been carried out for the building of a mixed-
use complex.
Further, prospectuses of land in various target markets were analyzed, with short
term plans to replicate the business model developed in Mayakoba in one or
various new locations.

THE PEOPLE OF OHLThe mission of the OHL Human Resources (HR) Corporate Management is linked to
the following objectives:
• Define and apply HR policy according to OHL Group Strategy.
• Encourage the personal and professional development of employees.
• To drive values and ethical principals as well as the corporate culture and voluntarily
acquired commitments.
• To watch for the strict compliance of labour legislation and internal standards.
The HR Management, dependent on the Corporate General Management, establishes
a general management criterion which guarantees the faithful compliance of decisions
that emanate from the Management Committee. This division also coordinates
information about personnel, both nationally and internationally.
The OHL Group maintains a policy of equal opportunity and non-discrimination based
on respect for workers, regardless of their ideological condition, religion, race, age,
or sex, that additionally supports to the work life balance and favors the integration
of groups at risk for social exclusion or physical or mental disability through its Social
Action Plan, which favors labour integration.
In the operations related to the creating new subsidiaries or the acquiring already
existing companies, processes of integration are put into practice based on the
introduction of the Group’s own management procedures and tools, providing the
information and training necessary to all personnel of the new companies.
On an international level, members of the Human Resources Management work to
develop corporate labour polices in the countries in which OHL operates, always in
coordination with those responsible for HR of the distinct operating divisions, as well
as with those in the local areas, adapting policies to the real needs of the Group, its
workers and each country’s legislation.
In the same way, the exchange of experiences is fostered among the different local
HR executives, who study the creation of communication channels that facilite the
implementation of values of global knowledge within the Group.
This chapter summarizes some of the relevant aspects of the OHL Group’s social
practices. Its content is addressed in further detail in the 2008 Sustainable
Development Report, which complements this Annual Report.

In the area of training, the OHL Group considers the permanent updating of worker
capacity a priority. Along this line, the Group opted more than 10 years ago for
continuous training as part of its business strategy, so as to assure sustainable
development in the market. As a result, OHL’s training management has obtained
much recognition, clearly converting the organization into one of the companies of
obligatory reference in the area.
The Management of training at OHL on domestic territory is developed according to
the P-10 procedure of the Quality and Environment System, elaborated according to
the UNE EN ISO 9001:2000 standard, certified by AENOR.
The Training Service, hierarchically integrated into the Corporate General Management,
administers everything concerning training management by carrying out the needs
diagnostic. This Service also manages and directs the development of the annual
training plans for all of OHL’s companies in Spain and collaborates in the detection
of training needs of the Group’s workers outside of Spain, transmitting, additionally,
the experience obtained nationally.

OHL Group Annual Report
2008
In 2008, OHL was the first Spanish company to obtain recognition by the Labour
Construction Foundation for providing the legally required training in prevention of
the National Collective Agreement of the Construction Sector.
For the last ten years, the Group has had its own Labour Risk Prevention System,
both in construction and in other similar activities.
OHL develops its prevention activity through its Affiliate Prevention Service, a
specific organizing unit integrated into the Corporate General Management and
whose members are exclusively dedicated to the prevention of labour risks in the
Group’s companies.
The Management System is audited internally by its own Affiliated Prevention Service
and inspected by labour authorities, as well as audited by independent auditors, who
apply their conformity to the specifications of the 2007 OHSAS 18000 standard.
OHL has experienced considerable progress in the area of labour risk prevention
(LRP) thanks to a permanent investment and the establishment of a policy of priority
commitment in the area, in which all of Group levels are involved.
OHL has a long term Strategic Prevention Plan that it shares with the affiliate
companies. The plan was born five years ago and is based on six actions, upon which
the company develops its annual performance. These actions are as follows:
- Assurance of the prevention system
- Maintenance of prevention knowledge
- Training and prevention information
- Continuous improvement controls
- Permanent prevention collaboration
- Prevention service sustainability
The prevention policy has driven the Group to obtain three significant milestones in
the last five years, manifesting its spirit of prevention leadership.
In 2008, OHL was the first Spanish company to receive recognition by the Labour Construction Foundation for providing training in prevention required legally by the National Collective Construction Agreement

companies.
Social Action
The management of social action is developed according to the Framework Social
Action Plan approved by the Sustainability Committee in June, 2008. In it, the bases
upon which the social action plans of OHL’s companies should be realized in all of
the countries in which it operates, are established.
59
OHL Group Annual Report
2008
Criteria of the Framework Social Action Plan
The OHL Group’s Framework Social Action Plan, inspired by a philosophy of
commitment to society, defines the following criteria for the development of all of
the activity foreseen in the different social action plans:
- Alignment with the mission, vision, values and activity guidelines for OHL Group activity.
- Active commitment to the priority needs of the community and vocation of permanence, relying on the Millenium Development Objectives with action marks. - Linking business objectives to community social needs, seeking maximum value for all interest groups. - Involvement and commitment of upper management. - Active participation of the Group’s employees. - Respect for the 10 Principles of the United Nations Global Compact. - Precise definition, establishing clear and measurable objectives, favoring alliances with strategic partners that contribute to the success of the social activities implemented.
In 2008, the expansion of the OHL Group’s Social Action Plan was approved in
Spain for a new period of three years, 2009-2011, conforming to the criteria of the
Framework Plan, applying the areas of the sustainability plan and accessibility and
labour insertion of persons with disabilities and at risk for social exclusion.
Internationally, social activities take place in those countries in which OHL has
permanent presence, such as Algeria, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, United States
and the Czech Republic. The objective is the development of society through the
promotion of programs with real social value and responding to the priority needs
of the communities. The most significant areas are health, access to education and
development of road security, especially directed to youth.
It should be noted that the drive for corporate volunteerism, which has as objective
to create within the OHL Group an open space for dialogue and cooperation
among employees and society, through which volunteers can develop and provide
community service through their talent and unique and singular capacities, and at the
same time satisfy solidarity concerns, and definitely, personal growth. Active groups
currently exist in Spain, Brazil, Chile and the United States, formed by employees
that belong to 20 OHL companies. The Group’s volunteers define and lead their own
social projects.
In 2008, 1,202,977 Euros were destined to Social Action Projects, without
including employee dedication time, volunteer hours or OHL Group furniture
donations.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTRespect for the environment, the conservation of natural surroundings and the
quality of services provided is a commitment assumed by the OHL Group, which
is made public through the Declaration of the Quality and Environment Policy and
Environmental Activity, the Commitment to the Fight against Climate Change and the
adherence to the United Nations Global Compact.
MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENT. FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
The fulfilment of this commitment is fomented along all of the Group’s Business lines
and in all of the countries in which OHL operates.
The OHL Group favors the implementation of systems to effectively manage the quality
and environment of the services it provides, in Spain and internationally. Proof of
this is the large number of companies and centres belonging to the Group which
have obtained certifications for their Management systems where these factors are
considered an added value for the Client, as is the case in Spain, Brazil, Chile or the
Czech Republic.
In countries in which other Environment and Quality standards are used, OHL utilizes
the relevant systems in each case. This occurs in the activities developed in the United
States, for example. In other markets, like Argentina, Mexico and Algeria, the Group
promotes the implementation of Quality and Environmental Plans that are similar to
those used by companies with certified management systems.
It is important to note that the 2008 period ended with the obtaining of certificates
according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards for activities that to that date, the
company did not have, such as the follow up and control of concessionary companies
belonging to the Group (OHL Concessions); the cleaning and maintenance of buildings
and installations (Ingesan); gardening and environmental repositioning (Irena), or
the operation and maintenance of the Ligero Oeste Metro lines (OHL Concessions).
Currently, the OHL Group activities developed under a certified Quality Management
System reach 69%, and reach 62% in Environmental Management. It is important
to point out that these figures increase to 98%, for Quality and for Environment in
the case of OHL Domestic Construction; and to 88%, for Quality at OHL Industrial. In
This Chapter summarizes some relevant aspects regarding the OHL Group’s Quality
and Environment management. Its contents are further expanded upon in the 2008
Sustainable Development Report, which compliments this Group Annual Report.
63
OHL Group Anual Report
2008
Currently, OHL Group activities developed under a Certified Quality System reach 69%, and reach 62% in environmental management
other business lines, these percentages remain low, due fundamentally to the facts
that in some countries or for certain activities, management systems different from
those that OHL uses, are applied.
The role carried out by the Quality and Environment Committee in 2008 was
fundamental for the incorporation of issues of general interest for OHL Group activities,
independent from the specific issues relating to system certification, highlighting
issues like activity in the fight against climate change or the Environmental
Responsibility Law which entered into force in Spain. The recent incorporation of
the General Director of OHL Industrial completes the representation of all of the
divisions of the business.
The Quality and Environment Service depends hierarchically on the OHL Group’s
innovation and development division and is independent from the production lines.
It is located in the Group’s central offices and lends service both in Spain as well as
in the countries in which activity takes place.
In addition, the business lines rely on the important collaboration of specialized
technicians, which, from the actual project (quality unit managers and/or
environment); work centres (executives responsible for quality and/or environment),
or from the services of the delegations and management, performs direct quality
and environmental functions or support, always in coordination with the corporate
service.
During 2008, the OHL Group satisfactorily spent more than 80 days undergoing
quality and environmental audits carried out by accredited entities, clients and
public organizations in the different countries in which the company is present. Also,
internally, more than 350 audits took place. 87% of these were carried out by the
corporate auditing service.
The Quality and Environment technicians from the different areas have made a special
effort in the different areas, especially in assistance for the implementation and
follow up of the Quality and Environment System and the corresponding training at
the different work centres, dedicating more than 450 days. The Group’s employees
have received more than 19,100 hours of environmental training.
In environmental management, the activity that they have carried out since the
beginning in the following areas of activity has stood out: Mayakoba Tourism
Development, in which biodiversity is a fundamental pillar of the business; OHL
Concession Highways in Brazil, Mexico and Chile, which include investment in activity
related to Biodiversity and the fight against climate change, as well as control amnd
follow up of distinct environmental aspects, and the management of water, with the
development of new technologies.
64
>> Quality and Enviromment
Among the initiatives related to the fight against climate change, the following can
be highlighted:
• Long term: RDI for the development of the best technologies and the application
of new knowledge with the objective of obtaining new products and constructive
processes that are more sustainable and energy efficient.
• Short/Medium term: Transfer from offices to Torre Espacio, a building designed with
a bioclimatic philosophy; commitment to the reduction of CO2 emissions (Entorno
Foundation Action CO2 Program); awareness and training program about climate
change directed to OHL employees; reduction in the number of personal computer
equipment and development of an inventory protocol for greenhouse gases.
Additionally, the following aspects have been worked on in the different areas of
the business: search for more efficient environmental solutions for projects; carbon
neutralization projects on Highways, and optimization of energy in desalinators,
among other aspects.

RDI Management System
OHL obtained in 2008 an AENOR certificate for its RDI Management System,
conforming to the UNE 166.002:2006 standard. This management knowledge system
allows for better technical quality and provides transparency and profitability for RDI
activities. The procedures to certify and implement the RDI Management System in
2009 have already begun in four other companies of the Group: Asphalts and Elsan
Construction, OHL Concessions, OHL Environment Inima and Sociedad Anónima
Trabajos y Obras(SATO).
For the coordination of the total RDI activity, the OHL Group has a Research,
Development and Innovation service that provides support for the execution of
projects to more than 100 engineers and specialists. The total number of persons in
the Group implied in the research activity reached 146. In addition, the RDI service
receives the backing of the RDI Committee for its work performance, constituted by
the members of the company’s Management Committee.The procedures for
implementing and certifying the 2009 RDI Management
System in four other of

Research, Development and Innovation Projects
In 2008, the OHL Group increased its investment in RDI by 61.6% compared to
2007, continuing with the increasingly higher tendency initiated during previous
periods.
R+D Investment Effort
The investment effort in RDI is defined as the investment made en R+D divided by
the GVA (gross added value) generated, and is expressed in % GVA. This indicator is
used to compare the homogenous form to distinct companies and industries, and
even to reference them to the total investment in R+D made by Spain.
In the OHL Group, this effort in 2008 was of the order of two times superior to the
average of the construction sector in 2007, according to the latest data provided by
the INE (National Statistics Institute) in November 2008. For the National Construction
Division, which spent nearly 71% of the Group total in R+D, this R+D investment
multiplier was situated at around five times that of the industry average.
In the OHL Group, the investment effort in 2008 was two times above the construction sector average in 2007

AUDITORS’ REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders of
OBRASCÓN HUARTE LAIN, S.A.:
1. We have audited the consolidated financial statements of OBRASCÓN HUARTE LAIN, S.A. and Subsidiaries comprising
the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2008 and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated cash
flow statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year then ended. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Parent’s directors.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole based on our audit
work performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Spain, which require examination, by means
of selective tests, of the evidence supporting the consolidated financial statements and evaluation of their presentation,
of the accounting policies applied and of the estimates made.
2. As required by Spanish corporate and commercial law, for comparison purposes the Parent’s directors present, in addition
to the figures for 2008 for each item in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated
cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in equity, the figures for 2007. Our opinion refers only to the
consolidated financial statements for 2008. On 1 April 2008, we issued our auditors’ report on the 2007 consolidated
financial statements, in which we expressed an unqualified opinion.
3. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2008 present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of OBRASCÓN HUARTE LAIN, S.A. and Subsidiaries at 31 December
2008 and the consolidated results of their operations, the changes in the consolidated equity and their consolidated
cash flows for the year then ended, and contain the required information, sufficient for their proper interpretation and
comprehension, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union applied
on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
4. The accompanying consolidated directors’ report for 2008 contains the explanations which the Parent’s directors consider
appropriate about the Group’s situation, the evolution of its business and other matters, but is not an integral part of the
consolidated financial statements. We have checked that the accounting information in the consolidated directors’ report
is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements for 2008. Our work as auditors was confined to
checking the consolidated directors’ report with the aforementioned scope, and did not include a review of any information
other than that drawn from the accounting records of OBRASCÓN HUARTE LAIN, S.A. and Subsidiaries.

by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting is as follows:
Thousands of euros
Concept
2008 profit 55,402

The directors of Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. will propose to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting the
payment of a total gross dividend of EUR 37,674 thousand with a charge to 2008 profit.
The distribution of profit proposed by the directors does not include any appropriation to the legal reserve,
since the stipulated level had been reached in prior years (see Note C.12).
A.5. Earnings per share
a) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated profit for the year attributable to the Parent
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number
of treasury shares held in the year.
b) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar way to basic earnings per share; however, the weighted
average number of shares outstanding is increased by share options, warrants and convertible debt.
In 2008 and 2007 there were no differences between the basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share.

B.- Basis of presentation and basis of consolidation
B.1. Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements for 2008 of the Obrascón Huarte Lain Group were prepared:
• By the Parent’s directors, at the Board of Directors meeting held on 31 March 2009.
• In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European
Union.
• Taking into account all the mandatory accounting principles and policies and measurement bases with
a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements. Note B.6 summarises the most significant
accounting principles and policies and measurement bases applied in the preparation of the Group’s 2008
consolidated financial statements.
• So that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position at 31 December 2008,
and the results of its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows in
2008.
• On the basis of the accounting records kept by the Parent and by the other Group companies.
However, since the accounting principles and policies and measurement bases used in preparing the Group’s
consolidated financial statements for 2008 (IFRSs) differ from those used by certain Group companies
(local standards), the required adjustments and reclassifications were made on consolidation to unify
the accounting principles and policies and measurement bases used and to make them compliant with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
The Group’s consolidated financial statements for 2007 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting of the Parent on 20 May 2008. The 2008 consolidated financial statements of the Group and
the 2007 financial statements of the Parent and of the Group companies have not yet been approved by their
shareholders at the respective Annual General Meetings. However, the Parent’s Board of Directors considers
that they will be approved without any changes.
B.2. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
The basis of consolidation, accounting policies and measurement bases used to prepare the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 are the same as those used in the 2007 consolidated
financial statements.

financial statements.
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet in force
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements the following standards and interpretations
had been published by the IASB but had not yet come into force, either because they became effective after
the date of the consolidated financial statements or because they have not yet been adopted by the European
Union:

statements.
92
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
Except as described in the preceding paragraph, the Group’s directors do not expect significant changes to arise
as a result of the introduction of other standards, amendments and interpretations that have been published
but not yet come into force, since the standards are to be applied prospectively, the amendments relate to
presentation and disclosure and/or the matters are not applicable to the Group’s operations.
B.3. Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in euros since this is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Group operates. Foreign operations are accounted for in accordance with the policies
established in Note B.6.9.
B.4. Responsibility for the information and use of estimates
The information in these financial statements is the responsibility of the Group’s directors.
In the Group’s consolidated financial statements for 2008 estimates were occasionally made by the senior
executives of the Group and of the Group companies, later ratified by the directors, in order to quantify certain
of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein. These estimates relate basically
to the following:
• The impairment losses on certain assets.
• The useful life of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
• The amount of certain provisions.
• The measurement of goodwill.
• The fair value of certain unquoted assets
Although these estimates were made with the best information available at 31 December 2008 and 2007, events
that may take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates in coming years. Changes
in accounting estimates would be applied in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, recognising the effects
of the change in estimates in the related consolidated income statements.
As required by IAS 1, the information relating to 2008 is presented, for comparison purposes, with similar
information relating to 2007 and, accordingly, it does not constitute the Group’s complete consolidated financial
statements for 2007.
B.5. Basis of consolidation
a) Subsidiaries:
“Subsidiaries” are defined as companies over which the Parent has the capacity to exercise control; this capacity
is evidenced by the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee so as to obtain benefits
from its activities. This control is presumed to exist when the Parent owns directly or indirectly more than half of
93
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
the voting power of the investee or, should the percentage of ownership be lower, when there are agreements
with other shareholders that give the Parent control.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully consolidated with those of the Parent. Accordingly:
• The results from intra-Group transactions are eliminated on consolidation and are deferred until they
are realised vis-à-vis non-Group third parties, with the exception of those relating to work performed for
concession operators.
• Also, receivables, payables, income and costs between companies included in the consolidable group are
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
• Any excess of the cost of the investments in the consolidated companies over the corresponding underlying
carrying amounts arising as a result of the acquisition is allocated to certain assets and liabilities up to the
limit of the market value of each item.
• The resulting positive difference, if any, after allocation of the excess to assets and liabilities is recognised
under “Goodwill” on the asset side of the balance sheet.
• Should the difference between the acquisition cost of the investments and their underlying carrying amount
be negative, it will be taken to income.
The minority shareholders’ share of:
• The equity of investees is presented under “Equity - Minority Interests” in the consolidated balance
sheet.
• The profit or loss for the year is presented under “Minority Interests” in the consolidated income
statement.
b) Joint ventures:
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more companies undertake operations, hold assets
or have interests in entities so that strategic financial and operating decisions affecting the joint venture require
the unanimous consent of the venturers.
The financial statements of the joint ventures are proportionately consolidated with those of the Parent.
Accordingly:
94
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
• The results from intra-Group transactions are eliminated on consolidation, in proportion to the Parent’s
ownership interest in the joint venture, and are deferred until they are realised vis-à-vis non-Group third
parties, with the exception of those relating to work performed for concession operators.
• Also, receivables, payables, income and costs between companies included in the consolidable group are
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, in the same proportion to the Parent’s ownership
interest in the joint venture.
• Any excess of the cost of the interests in joint ventures over the corresponding underlying carrying amounts
arising as a result of the acquisition is allocated to certain assets and liabilities up to the limit of the market
value of each item.
• The resulting positive difference, if any, after allocation of the excess to assets and liabilities is recognised
under “Goodwill” on the asset side of the consolidated balance sheet.
• Should the difference between the acquisition cost of the investments and their underlying carrying amount
be negative, it will be taken to income.
The assets and liabilities assigned by the Group to jointly controlled operations are recognised in the consolidated
balance sheet classified according to their specific nature. Similarly, the Group’s share of the income and
expenses of joint ventures is recognised in the consolidated income statement on the basis of the nature of
the related items.
c) Associates:
Associates are companies over which the Parent is in a position to exercise significant influence, but not control
or joint control with other shareholders.
In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method.
Accordingly:
• They are accounted for at the Group’s share of their net assets, less any impairment of the investment.
• The proportional part of the equity of the associate attributable to the Group is compared with the cost of
acquisition of the investment, and any excess or deficiency attributable to identified assets and liabilities
increases or reduces the initial measurement thereof.
• Any remaining excess is recognised under “Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method” on the
asset side of the balance sheet, whereas any remaining deficiency is allocated to profit or loss.
95
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
• If as a result of losses incurred by an associate its equity were negative, the investment should be presented
in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet with a zero value, unless the Group is obliged to give it financial
support, in which case the related provision to cover the risk would be recorded.
d) Scope of consolidation:
The companies included in the scope of consolidation at 31 December 2008 are detailed in Appendix I.
The activities, the registered offices, the detail of equity and the net cost of the investment of the most significant
companies forming the scope of consolidation are included in Appendixes II and III.
e) Changes in the scope of consolidation:
The following changes arose in the scope of consolidation in 2008:
Inclusion of companies Nº of companies
Fully consolidated companies 28
Equity method 7
Total inclusions 35
Exclusion of companies Nº of companies
Fully consolidated companies 4
Proportionate consolidation 4
Equity method 4
Total exclusions 12
The detail of the companies and the reason for their inclusion or exclusion are disclosed in Appendix IV.
The main companies included in the scope of consolidation in 2008, due to acquisition, were Arellano
Construction Co. (see Note C.4) and the companies that make up the industrial business line: Ecolaire España,
S.A., Chemtrol Proyectos y Sistemas, S.L. and Proyectos y Sistemas, S.A. (see Note C.3.).
B.6.- Accounting principles and policies and measurement bases used
The accounting principles and policies and measurement bases applied in preparing the Group’s consolidated
financial statements for 2008 were as follows:
96
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
1. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at acquisition cost (revalued, where appropriate, in accordance
with various legal provisions prior to the date of transition to IFRSs, including Royal Decree-Law 7/1996) less
any accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment loss.
However, IFRS 1 permitted the measurement of individual items at their fair value in the first-time application.
Accordingly, the Group revalued land in Azuqueca de Henares (Guadalajara), which gave rise to an increase in
reserves of EUR 5,900 thousand.
The costs of expansion, modernisation or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency
or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalised.
Repairs that do not lead to a lengthening of the useful life of the assets and maintenance costs are charged to
the consolidated income statement for the year in which they are incurred.
The Group capitalises interest during the non-current asset construction period as indicated in Note B.6.18.
Group work on property, plant and equipment is recognised at accumulated cost (external costs, internal costs
calculated on the basis of in-house consumption of warehouse materials and manufacturing costs allocated
using hourly absorption rates similar to those used for inventory measurement).
Except for concession assets, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method on the basis of the
acquisition cost of the assets less their residual value; the land on which the buildings and other structures
stand has an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not depreciated.
The period property, plant and equipment depreciation charge is recognised in the consolidated income
statement at rates based on the following years of estimated useful life of the various assets.
Concept Years of useful life
Buildings 25-50
Machinery 6-16
Non-current assets of concession operators (*)
Other fixtures, tools and furniture 10
Other items of property, plant and equipment 3-5
(*) Non-current assets of concession operators are depreciated on the basis of the pattern of consumption (production units) of the concession assets only during the term of the concession.
97
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The Group companies consider that the periodic maintenance plans for its fixtures, the cost of which is charged
to income in the year in which they are incurred, are sufficient to ensure the delivery of the assets concerned
in good working order on completion of the concession period.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned
assets of the same nature.
At each accounting close, the consolidated companies assess whether there is any internal or external indication
that the carrying amounts of their property, plant and equipment items exceed their related recoverable amounts,
i.e. the higher of the net amount which could be obtained if they were sold and the present value of the cash
flows (see Note B.4).
If this is the case, the carrying amount of the assets in question are reduced to their recoverable amount and the
future depreciation charges in the consolidated income statement are adjusted in proportion to the adjusted
carrying amount and the new remaining useful lives of the assets should such a re-estimation be required.
Similarly, when there are indications that the value of property, plant and equipment has recovered, the
consolidated companies recognise the reversal of the impairment loss recognised in prior periods and adjust
the depreciation charges in future consolidated income statements up to a maximum of the original carrying
amount.
2. Investment property
“Investment Property” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet reflects the values of the land, buildings
and other structures held either to earn rentals or for capital appreciation as a result of future increases in
market prices.
Measurement: land is measured at acquisition cost increased by site clearance and preparation costs. Structures
are measured at the cost of the related progress billings for completed construction work plus contract costs
(site management, levies, architects’ fees, etc.) and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful
lives, which are the same as those used for similar items of property, plant and equipment.
Borrowing costs: borrowing costs attributable to these investments are capitalised during the construction
period until the properties are ready for sale and are treated as an addition to the value of the investment.
Interest income obtained from the short-term investment of cash surpluses is deducted from the cost of the
investment.
98
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
Recognition of revenue and profit or loss: revenue and profit or loss are recognised when the assets are sold
and the sale has been executed in a public deed, which is when the rights and obligations inherent thereto are
transferred. Rental income is allocated to the consolidated income statement on an accrual basis.
Expense recognition: in rentals, expenses are recognised on an accrual basis and all maintenance, management
and impairment costs relating to the leased assets are charged to income.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group analyses whether the carrying amount of investment property
exceeds fair value and, if so, it makes the appropriate valuation adjustment in the consolidated income statement
by recognising an impairment loss in income to reduce the carrying amount to fair value.
3. Goodwill
Any excess of the costs of acquisition of an investment in a company over its underlying carrying amount is
allocated to certain assets and liabilities on consolidation.
This excess is allocated as follows:
1. If it is attributable to specific assets and liabilities of the company acquired, increasing the value of the
assets acquired (or reducing the value of the liabilities acquired).
2. If it is attributable to specific intangible assets, recognising it explicitly in the consolidated balance
sheet.
3. The remainder, if any, is recognised under “Goodwill” on the asset side of the consolidated balance
sheet.
At the end of each reporting period it is analysed whether as a result of any impairment the value of the goodwill
is lower than its carrying amount. If so, the difference is eliminated with a charge to the consolidated income
statement.
These impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed in a subsequent period.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of foreign companies is translated to euros at the closing rate.
4. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to compare that amount with the
recoverable amount so as to determine whether there is any impairment loss.
Recoverable amount is the higher of:
99
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
• Fair value.
The price that would be agreed upon by two independent parties, less costs to sell; and
• Value in use.
Estimated present value of the expected future cash flows, using a pre-tax discount rate, both during the
use of the asset and from the possible disposal of the asset at the end of its useful life.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, income is recorded up to the amount of the impairment loss
previously recognised.
5. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised initially at acquisition or production cost.
They are subsequently measured at acquisition or production cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
Computer software
This heading includes mainly the costs arising from the installation and acquisition of computer software, which
is amortised on a straight-line basis over a maximum period of five years.
Other intangible assets
“Other Intangible Assets” includes mainly the operating rights relating to administrative concessions, which
are amortised on the basis of the pattern of consumption (units of production).
It also includes development expenditure, which is capitalised if it meets the requirements of identifiability,
reliability in cost measurement and high probability that the assets created will generate economic benefits.
These costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
Also, under IFRS 3, all the assets of a business combination, including intangible assets, regardless of whether
they had been previously recognised in the acquiree’s balance sheet, must be measured at fair value, provided
that they meet certain identifiability and separability criteria. In this regard, this heading includes the amount
relating to the measurement of the backlog and the customer portfolio of the acquirees at the date of acquisition,
taking as a reference the projected margins after taxes, projected expenditure and the term of the contracts.
The amount relating to the backlog will be amortised over the residual term of the contracts and the customer
portfolio will be amortised over the estimated average useful life thereof.

>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
6. Financial assets
These are assets representing collection rights for the Group as a result of investments or loans. These rights
are classified as current or non-current on the basis of whether they are due to be settled within less than or
more than 12 months, respectively. They are made up of:
Investment securities:
Financial assets represented by securities that can be classified as:
• Held-to-maturity investments: securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity. The Group
has the positive intention to hold these securities from the date of purchase to the date of maturity.
These securities are recognised at acquisition cost, including transaction costs.
Any deficiency of the acquisition cost below the fair value of these assets at the end of the reporting period
is taken to profit or loss.
• Held-for-trading investments: securities acquired with the intention of generating a profit from fluctuations
in their purchase and sale prices.
These securities are also recognised at cost, including transaction costs.
Any deficiency of the acquisition cost below the fair value of these assets at the end of the reporting period
is also taken to the consolidated income statement.
• Available-for-sale financial assets: investments in financial assets from which the Group does not expect
to obtain a significant gain and which are made for cash management purposes.
If the fair value of these investments exceeds their carrying amounts, the value of the asset is increased and
the increase is recognised in equity. On disposal, this amount is transferred to the consolidated income
statement.
In the event of impairment, the amount credited to equity is reduced and, if the amount of the impairment
loss exceeds the amount previously credited to equity, the excess is charged to the consolidated income
statement.
Other loans:
“Other Loans” includes loans and receivables originated by the Group: financial assets originated by the
companies in exchange for supplying cash, goods or services directly to a debtor, which are measured at the
principal amount plus the accrued interest receivable.
101
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
Deposits and guarantees:
These are cash amounts securing project bids or contracts of another kind. These amounts are restricted as to
their use to the extent that the specific terms and conditions of each project bid or contract continue to exist.
Deposits and guarantees expiring within 12 months are classified as current items and those expiring within
more than 12 months are classified as non-current items.
7. Transfers of financial assets and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
The accounting treatment of the transfers of financial assets depends on the extent to which the risks and
rewards associated with the transferred assets are contractually transferred to third parties.
Financial assets are only derecognised when they are realised or when the Group transfers substantially all the
inherent risks and rewards and control thereover to third parties.
Financial liabilities are only derecognised when the obligations giving rise to them no longer exist.
8. Inventories
“Inventories” in the consolidated balance sheet includes the assets that the consolidated companies:
• Hold for sale in the ordinary course of business;
• Have in the process of production, construction or development for such sale; or
• Expect to consume in the production process or in the provision of services.
All inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price net of all the costs required to complete the production of
inventories and to sell them.
Goods and work in progress are measured at production cost, which includes the cost of materials, direct labour
and production costs and the interest incurred during the construction period.
9. Foreign currency
The items included in the financial statements of each of the Group companies are measured in their respective
functional currencies.
102
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Parent’s functional and presentation
currency.
In the individual financial statements of the Group companies, foreign currency transactions are translated as
follows:
• Transactions performed during the year in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at
the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.
• Monetary asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency (cash
and items with no impairment losses when converted to cash) are translated at the closing rates.
• Non-monetary asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency
are translated at the historical exchange rates.
Translation gains and losses are included in the consolidated income statement.
On consolidation, the balances of the financial statements of the consolidated companies whose functional
currency is not the euro are translated to euros as follows:
• Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.
• Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates
fluctuate significantly, in which case they are translated at the closing rates.
• Equity is translated at the historical exchange rates.
Any exchange differences arising from the consolidation of companies with a functional currency other than the
euro are classified in the consolidated balance sheet under “Equity - Valuation Adjustments”.
Entities and branches located in hyperinflationary economies
None of the functional currencies of the subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates located abroad
relate to hyperinflationary economies as defined by International Financial Reporting Standards. Accordingly,
at the 2008 accounting close it was not necessary to adjust the financial statements of any of the consolidated
entities to correct them for the effect of inflation.
10. Bonds and bank borrowings
Bonds and bank borrowings are measured at the amount received, net of direct issue costs, plus the accrued
interest payable at year-end. Borrowing costs are recognised on an accrual basis in the income statement using
103
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
the method of modifying the nominal rate taking into account issue discounts, fees, expenses, etc. This method
is equivalent to using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly matches the net value of the cash
receipts to the present value of future disbursements.
Debts due to be settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as current items and those
due to be settled within more than 12 months as non-current items.
11. Derivative financial instruments and hedges
In order to mitigate the economic effects of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations to which the Group is
exposed as a result of its business activities, the Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign
currency hedges, interest rate swaps and combined interest rate and foreign currency derivatives.
The Group also arranged a financial swap tied to the Group’s share price in order to hedge the potential loss
that might arise from the exercise of the options under the Incentive Plan described in Note C.23.3.
The derivatives arranged are future exchange commitments, on the basis of which the Group and banks agree
to exchange in the future interest payments, currencies, or both simultaneously. In the case of an interest rate
derivative, the commitment is to pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for receiving a floating interest rate, and
in the case of a foreign exchange derivative the commitment is to pay or receive a given amount of euros in
exchange for a given amount in another currency. In the case of the financial swap tied to the Parent’s share
price, the commitment is to pay or receive the result of the change in the share price with respect to a reference
price and to pay a floating interest rate.
It should be noted that when the Group arranges a derivative, it does not do so with the intention of settling it
early or of trading with it. The Group does not use derivatives for speculative purposes, but rather to mitigate
the economic effects that may arise from its foreign trade and financing activities due to exchange and interest
rate fluctuations.
Summarised below are the most essential aspects of accounting legislation relating to derivative financial
instruments.
11.1 Recognition on the balance sheet
Derivatives are recognised on the consolidated balance sheet at their market value in the same way as any
other financial asset or liability.
Market value (also known as fair value) is the net amount that the Group would have to pay or receive if the
derivative were settled at the measurement date, and is equal to the difference between the present value
of the future collections and payments agreed on by the Group and the related banks under the terms of the
derivative arranged.
104
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
As in the case of other financial assets and liabilities, recognition of the fair value of a derivative gives rise to
a change in equity. The change in equity arises directly through “Equity - Valuation Adjustments” or indirectly
through profit or loss. The criteria applied in each case are described below.
11.2 Direct effect on equity or indirect effect through profit or loss
The fair value of a derivative changes during its term. Changes in fair value arise: as a result of the passage of
time; as a result of changes in interest rate and exchange rate curves; and, in the case of derivatives on shares,
also as a result of changes in share prices.
Only certain derivatives can be considered to qualify for hedge accounting.
The requirements that must be met for a derivative to be considered to qualify for hedge accounting are as
follows:
a. The underlying in relation to which the derivative is arranged to mitigate the economic effects that might
arise therefrom as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates or both simultaneously must
initially be identified.
b. When the derivative is arranged, the reason for which it was arranged must be appropriately documented
and the hedged risk must be identified.
c. It must be demonstrated that the hedge is effective from the date of the arrangement of the derivative
to the date of its settlement, i.e. that it meets the objective initially defined. In order to assess this, the
effectiveness of the hedge is tested, and given effectiveness levels must be scored.
When the derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, or the Group voluntarily decides not to apply hedge
accounting, changes in fair value must be recognised in the consolidated income statement.
For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, under the relevant accounting standards changes in fair
value are recognised directly in equity or indirectly through profit or loss on the basis of the type of hedged
risk concerned:
a) Cash flow hedges
A derivative arranged to hedge against exposure to future variability in the expected cash flows in a foreign
currency transaction as a result of exchange rate fluctuations can be considered to be a cash flow hedge.
105
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The same is true of a derivative arranged to hedge against exposure to future variability in the expected cash
flows in floating-rate financing as a result of interest rate fluctuations.
The portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments whose purpose is to act as a cash flow hedge of
an underlying and which is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised under “Equity - Valuation
Adjustments”, and the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income
statement. The cumulative balance of “Equity - Valuation Adjustments” is transferred to the consolidated
income statement when and to the extent that the gains or losses on the hedged risk of the underlying also
start to be reflected in the consolidated income statement.
b) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
When a derivative or another financial instrument is used to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations that
affect the carrying amount of net investments in foreign operations, it can be considered to be a hedge of a
net investment in a foreign operation.
The gains or losses on this type of derivative are recognised in the consolidated income statement in a similar
fashion to those on cash flow hedges. The only difference is that the accumulated amounts under “Equity
- Valuation Adjustments” are not recognised in the consolidated income statement until the investment is
sold.
c) Fair value hedges
Fair value hedges arise when a derivative is arranged to convert financing at a fixed interest rate into financing
at a floating interest rate in order to tie a portion of the financing to interest rate changes and, therefore, to
the performance of the market. They also include derivatives arranged to hedge the possible future changes
in the equivalent euro value of firm commitments to collect or pay certain amounts in foreign currency due
to exchange rate fluctuations.
When the purpose of the hedging derivative is to act as a fair value hedge, gains or losses on the derivative
and its underlying are recognised through profit or loss.
12. Provisions
The Group’s consolidated financial statements include all the material provisions with respect to which it is
considered that it is highly probable that the obligation covered by them will have to be settled. Contingent
liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements, but rather are disclosed, as required
by IAS 37.
106
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
Provisions are classified as current or non-current based on the estimated period of time for meeting the
obligations covered by them.
Litigation and claims in process
At the end of 2008 certain litigation and claims were in process against the consolidated companies arising
from the ordinary course of their operations. The Group’s legal advisers and directors consider that the outcome
of litigation and claims, none of which are for a significant individual amount, will not have a material effect on
the financial statements for the years in which they are settled.
Provision for project completion
This provision is intended to cover the expenses arising from completion of a project until its definitive settlement.
The estimated costs in this connection are accrued over the construction period on the basis of production
volumes.
Provision for management and other fees
This provision relates to the amount incurred for project management and inspection fees, laboratory, layout
and other fees payable at the consolidated balance sheet date. The amounts of these fees are set in the related
project specifications and in current legislation. The estimated costs in this connection are accrued over the
construction period on the basis of production volumes.
Provision for temporary site employees
This provision reflects the liability incurred for temporary site employees, based on the average remuneration
rate and the average years of service at the consolidated balance sheet date.
13. Revenue recognition
Revenue for each year is recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and
services occurs, regardless of when the resulting collections and payments are made.
Revenue is recognised, by type of business, as follows:
Construction
Revenue is calculated using the percentage of completion method whereby, in construction projects from which
a final profit is expected, the profit is calculated by applying to the expected profit the percentage resulting
from comparison of the actual costs incurred with the projected total costs until completion of the project. In
the case of projects from which a final loss is expected, the loss is recognised in full in the income statements
as soon as it becomes known.
107
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
In accordance with standard practice in the industry, the estimates used to calculate the stage of completion
include the possible effect of the net margin on certain contract modifications, addenda and settlements which
are being processed, and which the Group considers to be reasonably realisable.
“Trade Receivables for Sales and Services – Amounts to Be Billed for Work/Services Performed” on the asset
side of the consolidated balance sheet represents the difference between the amount of the completed work
recognised, including the adjustment to the margin recognised by application of the stage of completion, and
the amount of billed completed work up to the balance sheet date.
If the amount of production from inception is lower than the amount billed, the difference is recognised under
“Advances Received from Customers” on the liability side of the consolidated balance sheet.
Infrastructure concessions
Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis.
If a toll system is used, toll revisions are not applied until the new tolls come into force.
Revenue from motorway services is recognised on an accrual basis, regardless of whether or not a portion of
the contract has been collected in advance.
The Group recognises as “Other Operating Income” the collection rights acknowledged in the year by the
Mexican government at the subsidiary Concesionaria Mexiquense, S.A. de C.V. as guaranteed remuneration
under the concession arrangement.
Industrial
Revenue from sales and services is recognised on an accrual basis whereas revenue from installation and
assembly work is recognised when the contracts have been substantially performed, i.e. when the costs to be
incurred are not significant with respect to total costs.
Services
• Revenue in the case of infrastructure and urban equipment services is determined by measuring the
completed units at the contract price, per the main contract with the owners or per approved addenda or
amendments thereto. If these services have not been contractually approved, because the related contracts
are being drawn up, the related revenue will only be recognised if technical approval has been secured. If
because of their term and conditions contracts in this area meet the requirements provided for in IAS 11,
the percentage of completion method is also applied.
• Production in the area relating to the construction of water cycle projects is recognised by reference to the
stage of completion.
108
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
• In the case of services relating to environmental recovery, production is recognised as the services are
provided and is measured at the contract price.
• In the water concessions and projects area, which encompasses water treatment, purification and
desalination, production is recognised on the basis of the terms and conditions of each contract, applying
the tariffs and criteria stipulated therein to the services provided.
• Revenue in the hotel complex business is recognised on an accrued basis with reference to the services
provided.
• The shopping centres generate rental income, which is recognised on an accrual basis.
Price revisions are applied if they are provided for in the related contracts.
• In the care services area, revenue is recognised on an accrual basis. The monthly or daily charges are
applied on the basis of the use of the service. For private customers, the prices are set freely. Prices for
government subsidised customers have to be approved by the related authorities, which publish them in
the corresponding Official Gazettes at the beginning of each year.
• In the real estate business, revenue is recognised for the amounts executed in the public deeds relating to
completed buildings.
14. Deferred income
“Deferred Income” relates substantially in full to grants. Grants are credited to the consolidated income statement
in one or several years. Grants may be:
Grants related to income: grants to offset an expense or guarantee a minimum inflow of funds. They are credited
to “Other Operating Income” in the consolidated income statement in the same period as that in which the
associated expenses are recognised.
Grants related to assets: grants for the setting up or investment in long-term assets of a company, its investments
or to finance borrowings arising from such investments. Grants related to assets are recognised as deferred
income on the liability side of the consolidated balance sheet and are taken systematically to “Other Operating
Income” in the consolidated income statement over the useful lives of the assets concerned.
109
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
15. Share-based payment
Share-based payment plans
These plans are measured when granted using a binomial measurement model which takes into account the
exercise price, volatility, the option life, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the assumptions
made to incorporate the effects of expected early exercise.
In accordance with IFRS 2, the aforementioned amount is allocated to income under “Staff Costs” over the
period in which the employee is required to stay at the company in order to exercise the plan and is allocated
to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period between the grant date and the
exercise date. Pursuant to the Plan Regulations, the Company may choose whether the plan is settled in cash
or by issuing equity instruments. Company management considers that it does not have a present obligation
to settle in cash and, therefore, the balancing entry for the staff costs recognised is made in an equity account
without making any adjustment to the amount initially recognised, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2
on equity-settled share-based payment transactions.
Lastly, as detailed in Note C.18, in order to hedge the potential loss that might arise from the exercise of the
Plan, the Company arranged a financial instrument. This financial instrument is considered a derivative and is
accounted for accordingly (see Note B.6.11).
16. Termination benefits and post-employment benefits
The termination benefits that have to be paid to employees pursuant to the legislation applicable to each Group
company are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are paid.
If the Group were to establish a labour force restructuring plan, provisions for the costs of such a plan would
be recognised in the consolidated income statement when the detailed formal plan for the restructuring were
established and communicated to the parties concerned.
There are no restructuring plans making it necessary to recognise a provision in this connection.
The Group does not have post-employment benefit obligations in the form of pension plans or other benefits.
110
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
17. Leases
Leases are classified as finance or operating leases.
Finance leases are deemed to be those in which the risks and rewards relating to the leased asset are transferred
to the lessee, who, habitually but not necessarily, has the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease
on the terms and conditions agreed on when the transaction was formalised. In leases of this nature:
• When the consolidated companies act as the lessor of an asset, the aggregate present values of the lease
payments receivable from the lessee plus, where appropriate, the price of exercising the purchase option
are recognised as accounts receivable (financial assets).
• When the consolidated companies act as the lessee, they present the cost of the leased assets in the
consolidated balance sheet, based on the nature of the leased asset, and, simultaneously, recognise a
liability for the same amount.
The assets are measured at the lower of fair value, i.e. at the price that would be set by two parties in an arm’s
length transaction, and the discounted present value of the amounts payable to the lessor plus the price of
exercising the purchase option.
These assets are depreciated on the basis of their nature using similar criteria to those applied to the items of
property, plant and equipment.
Operating leases are leases that do not transfer the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset and
are accounted for on the basis of the contractual nature of each transaction. Income and expenses from these
transactions are allocated to the consolidated income statement on an accrual basis.
18. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that take a lengthy
period of time to get ready for their use or sale are added directly to the cost of those assets, until such time as
the assets are ready for their use or sale.
Pursuant to IAS 23, investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending
their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are
incurred.
111
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
19. Income tax
The Group companies’ income tax expense is calculated on the basis of accounting profit before taxes, increased
or decreased, as appropriate, by the permanent differences from taxable profit, net of tax relief and tax credits,
excluding tax withholdings and prepayments made during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the taxes expected to be recoverable or payable on differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax bases. They are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
At 31 December 2008, most of the Spanish Group companies were taxed under the consolidated tax regime
and, accordingly, the income tax expense recognised in the consolidated income statement relates to the
sum of the tax expense of the consolidated tax group companies and of the companies not forming part of the
consolidated tax group, which are mainly the foreign companies.
20. Consolidated cash flow statement
Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments
that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
This statement reflects changes in cash flows in the year, classifying them as:
• Cash flows from operating activities: ordinary cash flows from Group companies and other activities that
are not investing or financing activities.
• Cash flows from investing activities: those arising from the acquisition and disposal of non-current
assets.
• Cash flows from financing activities: those arising from changes in financial liabilities and transactions with
shareholders.
The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method, i.e. on the basis of the changes in
the consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet, and is presented with comparable figures
for two consecutive periods.

C.- Notes to the consolidated financial statements
C.1.- Property, plant and equipment
The changes in “Property, Plant and Equipment” in the consolidated balance sheets in 2008 and 2007 were
as follows:
113
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The net balance at 31 December 2008 in the table above includes most notably the following items:
• EUR 2,399,923 thousand relating to net property, plant and equipment owned by the Group’s entities and
branches located abroad (31 December 2007: EUR 2,167,096 thousand).
• EUR 19,046 thousand relating to property, plant and equipment held by the consolidated companies under
finance leases at 31 December 2008 (31 December 2007: EUR 19,365 thousand).
• EUR 3,286,391 thousand (2007: EUR 2,960,039 thousand) relating to net property, plant and equipment
of concession operators which are being depreciated on the basis of the pattern of consumption (units of
production) of the concession assets.
• It should be noted with respect to concession operators that in 2008 the Group filed a claim to re-establish
the economic balance of the Autopista Eje Aeropuerto de Barajas (Madrid) concession, where the actual
traffic is substantially less than that stated in the tender specifications. In this regard, in 2008 the Group
performed an impairment test to determine any possible loss in value that might reduce the recoverable
amount of the property plant and equipment. As a result, impairment losses on property, plant and
equipment totalling EUR 18,000 thousand were recognised under “Changes in Provisions” in the consolidated
income statement (bringing the cumulative impairment losses recognised to EUR 48,000 thousand).
• At 31 December 2008, certain property, plant and equipment, with a carrying amount of EUR 91,579 thousand
(31 December 2007: EUR 116,232 thousand), were mortgaged as security for loans against which EUR 67,278
thousand had been drawn down (31 December 2007: EUR 74,676 thousand) (see Note C.17).
At 31 December 2008, “Property, Plant and Equipment of Concession Operators” included EUR 150,556 thousand
relating to borrowing costs capitalised during the construction period (31 December 2007: EUR 116,456 thousand).
Borrowing costs capitalised in 2008 amounted to EUR 34,100 thousand (2007: EUR 27,170 thousand).
At 31 December 2008 and 2007, there were no material amounts relating to items of property, plant and equipment
that were temporarily idle or retired from active use.
The Group takes out the required insurance policies to cover the possible risks to which its property, plant and
equipment are subject.
Property, plant and equipment with a gross value of EUR 108,864 thousand had been fully depreciated at 31
December 2008 (31 December 2007: EUR 117,959 thousand).

Investments in concessions
Concession contracts are arrangements between the concession grantor, which is generally a public body,
and the Group companies to provide public services through the operation of certain assets required for the
provision of the service.
The concession right generally entails a monopoly on the provision of the service granted for a specified period
of time, after which, in general, the non-current concession assets required to provide the service have to be
returned to the concession grantor.
Revenue from performing the service may be received directly from the users or, sometimes, through the
concession grantor itself. The prices for providing the service are usually regulated by the grantor.
These projects are generally financed with long-term borrowings without recourse to the shareholders secured
mainly by the cash flows generated by the concession operator companies and their assets, accounts and
contractual rights. Since cash flows constitute the main security for the repayment of the borrowings, there
are restrictions on the use of the funds by the shareholders until certain conditions have been met, which is
assessed each year.
Also, reserves are recognised and continue to exist throughout the term of the borrowings, relating generally
to the six months following the servicing of the debt, which are restricted as to their use by the Company, and
whose purpose is to cater for the servicing of the debt if the cash flows generated by the Company prove to
be insufficient. These reserve accounts are classified under “Current Financial Assets – Other Loans” in the
consolidated balance sheet (see Note C.5.2).
The Group’s concessions at 31 December 2008 were as follows:

contracts awarded under the “total price payment” system amounting to EUR 104,625 thousand (2007: EUR

Legal reserve
Under the Consolidated Spanish Companies Law, 10% of net profit for each year must be transferred to the
legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. The legal reserve can be
used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased
share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to
offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.
The distribution of the Parent’s 2008 profit proposed by the directors does not include any appropriation to
the legal reserve, since the minimum legally required level had been reached in prior years.
Reserve for retired capital
As a result of the capital reduction through the retirement of treasury shares in 2006 and pursuant to current
legislation safeguarding the guarantee provided by equity vis-à-vis third parties, a reserve for retired capital
was recognised.
EUR 1,231 thousand were appropriated to this reserve with a charge to unrestricted voluntary reserves.

Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The Group uses three main sources to finance growth:
• Project finance, which is always long term and with recourse only to the cash flows generated and the
project assets being financed and always in the same currency as the revenue from the related project.
• Cash flows generated by the Group that are not related to project finance, including dividends arising
from projects.
• Long-term corporate finance, with recourse to the head of the Group at all times, of a moderate amount
with respect to equity and in proportion to the cash generated.
• Short-term corporate finance, with recourse to the head of the Group, used only to cover the possible
seasonality of business during the year.
The capital structure is controlled through gearing, i.e. the ratio of net financial debt to equity. The Group’s
directors consider that the gearing ratio at 31 December 2008 was adequate, the detail being as follows:

2. Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency hedges, interest rate swaps and
combined interest rate and foreign currency derivatives in order to mitigate the economic effects of exchange
rate and interest rate fluctuations to which it is exposed as a result of its business activities. The Group also
arranged in 2007 a financial swap tied to the Parent’s share price in order to hedge the potential loss that might
arise from the exercise of the options under the Incentive Plan described in Note C.23-3.
It is not permitted to arrange derivatives at the Group for speculative purposes.
No collection risks are expected to arise in relation to the amounts that the banks have undertaken to pay to
the Group in the future on the basis of the derivatives arranged, since the banks with which they were arranged
are highly solvent.
The derivatives arranged by the Group are basically measured by discounting the future cash flows in accordance
with the contractual and market conditions at the date of measurement.
The main criteria relating to derivatives are described in Note B.6. Set forth below is a description of how the
fair values of the derivatives arranged by the Group were accounted for at 31 December 2008 as other financial
assets or liabilities and of their impact, net of taxes, on equity.
Foreign currency hedges
The Group arranges foreign currency hedges in order to avoid the economic impact that currency fluctuations
have on payment obligations and collection rights in foreign currencies.
Following is a detail of the outstanding foreign currency hedges at 31 December 2008, indicating, on the one
hand, the nominal amounts in euros of the hedges, i.e. the amounts that the Group and the banks have agreed
to exchange in euros in exchange for paying or receiving certain amounts in foreign currencies, classified by
maturity, and, on the other, the fair values of the hedges, grouped together as other financial assets or liabilities,
and their impact, net of taxes, on equity. Also indicated is the range of exchange rates and the nominal amounts
in foreign currency arranged.

Interest rate derivatives
The Group arranges interest rate swaps to mitigate the variability of the cost of external financing.
In project financing, the use of interest rate derivatives normally forms part of the requirements imposed by the
financing banks. The purpose of these derivatives is to limit the possible impact that future changes in interest
rates might have on the finance costs of the projects if the financing continues to bear floating rate interest.
The following table shows in euros the notional amounts of the interest rate derivatives at 31 December 2008,
which are the amounts on the basis of which the interest will be settled, grouped together by settlement currency
and classified based on their final maturity, together with the fair values of the derivatives, grouped together
as other financial assets or liabilities, and their impact, net of taxes, on equity. Also indicated is the range of
interest rates.

In the case of interest rate derivatives arranged by the Group’s investees that are owned 50% or less, the
notional amounts, the fair values of the derivatives and the impact on equity shown in the foregoing table are
in proportion to the Group’s ownership interests in those investees. The negative impact on equity is limited, in
the case of the investees less than 50% owned by the Group, to the value of the Group’s ownership interest.
The total notional amount of the interest rate derivatives at 31 December 2008, net of the notional amounts of
the derivatives arranged by companies accounted for using the equity method, represents 48.7% of the total
loans in force at that date (31 December 2007: 64.0%).
Derivatives on treasury shares
In 2007 the Group arranged a financial swap tied to the Parent’s share price in order to hedge the potential
loss that might arise from the exercise of the options under the Incentive Plan described in Note C.23.3. The
commitment is to pay or receive the result of the change in the share price with respect to the reference price
until the maturity of the derivative and to pay a floating interest rate during the term of the swap. The notional
amount of the derivative is EUR 38,203 thousand, equal to 1,312,381 shares at the reference price of EUR 29.11
per share. The result of the change in the share price will be positive for the Group if the market price exceeds
EUR 29.11 and negative if it falls below this price.
At 31 December 2008, the market value of the derivative was EUR -25,431 thousand, which was recognised
under “Other Non-Current Financial Liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet (31 December 2007: EUR
-8,237 thousand). Its cumulative negative impact, net of the tax effect, at 31 December 2008 was EUR 17,802
thousand (31 December 2007: EUR 5,766 thousand).
Sensitivity analysis
Sensitivity analysis involves the measurement of the effect that interest rates, exchange rates and/or share
prices other than those existing on the market at the measurement date would have had.
The sensitivity analysis of exchange rates focused on the foreign currency derivatives outstanding at the date
of the analysis, simulating a 10% increase in the foreign currency per euro exchange rate with respect to those
in force at 31 December 2008 and 2007. The result of this analysis is as follows:

1. Consolidated tax group
The Group files consolidated tax returns for all the Spanish resident companies which meet the requirements
provided for in tax legislation, while the other companies not qualifying for this regime, mainly foreign companies,
file individual tax returns.
2. Recognition
The income tax expense of the consolidated Group companies is obtained by aggregating the income tax expense
of the companies forming part of the consolidated tax group and that of the companies that file individual
income tax returns.
The tax bases are calculated on the basis of the profit for the year adjusted by temporary differences, permanent
differences and tax loss carryforwards.
147
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The tax effect of temporary differences between the transactions recognised using different criteria in the
accounting records and in the income tax return gives rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities that will be
recoverable or payable in the future.
Tax losses, if recognised, also give rise to deferred tax assets that will not be deducted from the expense for
future years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when
the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there are no doubts that there will be sufficient taxable profits in
the future against which to charge these temporary differences.
When the closing is performed for tax purposes each year, the deferred tax balances are reviewed in order to
ascertain whether the related rights continue to exist and the appropriate valuation adjustments are made so
as to adapt the balances to the prevailing situation.

• Recognition and use of provisions.
• Tax withholdings paid abroad.
• Consolidation adjustments (mainly the elimination of dividends and the elimination of investment valuation
allowances).
The temporary differences arose mainly from:
• The profit of joint venturers, the recognition of which for tax purposes is deferred one year.
• The recognition of provisions, not considered to be tax deductible and the use of provisions adjusted in
prior years.
• The finance leases and the different methods used for tax and accounting purposes in the depreciation
and amortisation charge of non-current assets.
4. Income tax and tax rate.
Income tax is calculated using the tax rates in force in each country in which the Group operates, the main ones

income of EUR 4,359 thousand). The expense recognised in 2008 includes the expense relating to branches
abroad and the charge for a tax provision for the purpose of covering the settlements that might arise as

Of the total deferred tax liabilities, EUR 25,762 thousand were recognised directly in reserves in equity (31
December 2007: EUR 38,211 thousand).
The deferred taxes recognised arose from:
• The differences between accounting and tax legislation concerning the timing of recognition of certain
income and expense items, fundamentally the profit of joint ventures whose recognition for tax purposes
is delayed by a year and the recognition and use of provisions adjusted in prior years.
• The consolidation process, as a result of adjustments on the consolidation of the financial statements that
affected income tax.
The Group companies’ tax loss carryforwards available for offset in future tax returns amount to EUR 1,173,039,
the last years for offset of which are as follows:

Most of the tax loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets, amounting to EUR 302,414 thousand,
since the Parent’s directors considered that there are no doubts as to their future recoverability. The situation
of the tax loss carryforwards is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The Group companies have unused double taxation tax credits amounting to EUR 16,715 thousand, and tax
credits for investment (reinvestment, R&D&i and other) amounting to EUR 43,146 thousand.
6. Years open for review by the tax authorities
In general, the Group companies and the joint ventures have all the tax returns for the taxes applicable to them
which were filed in the last four years open for review by the tax authorities.
At the end of 2008 the Spanish National Appellate Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Company against the
tax assessments issued by the tax authorities in connection with income tax of Huarte, S.A. for 1994 to 1997,
in which a total tax loss carryforward of EUR 102,030 thousand was challenged.
In 2009 the Company filed an appeal at the Spanish Supreme Court, on which no judgment has yet been
handed down.
Based on the opinion of their legal advisers, the Company’s directors consider that the appeal will be granted
leave to proceed and expect the judgment of the Supreme Court to be favourable and, therefore, that no loss
will arise for Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. in this connection.
The Company has also filed various appeals in connection with 1996 to 2002 relating to the timing of recognition
of income and expenses of the joint ventures. A favourable ruling is expected to be handed down in this
connection.
The possible tax audits of the years open for review by the tax authorities could give rise to certain contingent
tax liabilities that cannot be objectively quantified. However, the Parent’s directors consider that these liabilities
would not be material.

2. Other operating income
In 2008 the Group recognised under “Other Operating Income” EUR 79,633 thousand (2007: EUR 46,196
thousand) relating to the collection rights of the subsidiary Concesionaria Mexiquense, S.A. de C.V. acknowledged
by the State of Mexico government (see Note B.6.13).
3. Staff costs
Share-based payment plans.
On 13 November 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to implement an Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
aimed at building the loyalty of 49 executives of the Obrascón Huarte Lain Group. For the purposes of the Plan,
the Obrascón Huarte Lain Group is taken to include the group of companies comprising the Parent and the
companies controlled by it in the terms provided for in Article 4 of the Spanish Securities Market Law.
In 2010 the executives included in the Plan will be entitled to receive an incentive tied to their staying at the
Obrascón Huarte Lain Group from 13 November 2007 to 13 November 2010 on the basis of the appreciation of
Obrascón Huarte Lain shares.
The main features of the Plan are as follows:
• Beneficiaries: general managers and executives of Obrascón Huarte Lain S.A. and Group companies,
selected by the Board of Directors. At 31 December 2007, a total of 1,138,939 units had been granted to 49
Group executives.
• Number of units granted: 1,312,381
• Exercise price: EUR 34.26
The Plan was measured and recognised in the income statement as indicated in Note B.6.15. At 31 December
2008, the staff costs in connection with the Plan amounted to EUR 2,578 thousand (31 December 2007: EUR
299 thousand). The main assumptions used to measure the Plan implemented in 2007 were as follows.
• Period required to stay at the company to exercise the Plan: 3 years
• Risk-free interest rate: 3.87%
• Dividend yield: 1.57%
155
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
In November 2007 the Company arranged a financial swap tied to the Company’s share price in order to hedge
the potential loss that might arise from the exercise of the options under the Incentive Plan. The main features
of this contract are as follows:
• The notional amount of the swap is EUR 38,203 thousand, equal to 1,312,381 shares at a price of EUR 29.11
per share.
• The Company will pay the bank a return on the notional amount based on Euribor plus a spread.
• The bank may terminate the contract early if the share price falls below 50% of the initial price, in which case,
the Company would pay the bank in cash the difference between the market price and the reference price.
At 31 December 2008, the Company had made a deposit of EUR 20,486 thousand as additional security.
• The Company may wholly or partially terminate the contract early, in which case if the market price of the
shares is less than the initial price the Company will pay the bank the difference. If the market price is above
the initial price the Company will receive the difference between the aforementioned amounts.
This contract qualifies as a derivative for accounting purposes and is treated as described in Note B.6.11. In
2008, a negative amount of EUR 17,194 thousand (2007: EUR 8,237 thousand) was allocated to income under
“Net Loss on Changes in Value of Financial Instruments at Fair Value”.

D.2. Risk control
One of the priorities of the Group’s corporate governance policy is risk management and internal control. Internal
control procedures must enable risk control to be improved, facilitate a monitoring system and ensure that the
controls are applied correctly.
The objectives of risk management are as follows:
•Prevention and control of the risks that may affect the achievement of the targets set by the Group and its
equity.
• Ensure compliance with current legislation and with the Group’s internal regulations and procedures.
• Guarantee the reliability and completeness of the accounting and financial information.
In order to strengthen the integration of risk management in the decisions relating to the Group’s business,
the Parent continued to reinforce the global risk management system and enhanced the management system
of the whole organisation so that the managers of all the business lines follow the same corporate principles
in risk management and are able to use uniform policies, processes and models.
166
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
This integrated risk control system permits the following:
1) Identification of the events that may affect the achievement of the Group’s targets.
2) Evaluation of the risks arising from these events.
3) Taking of decisions on the measures to be implemented to maintain the risks within the established
limits.
4) Appropriate monitoring of risks.
The Group currently has a corporate risk model, drawn up on the basis of the models established for the
Construction in Spain and Construction Abroad business lines, with their respective indicators for the risks
identified. Once the control targets had been identified, they were systematically monitored with the aim of
extending them to the other activities.
The Group has thus identified the risks that may prevent it from achieving its targets; it has fostered the
ongoing improvement of the existing controls (actions, policies, regulations and procedures), perfecting the
measurement indicators established for each risk and, therefore, has minimised the probability of these risks
having a significant impact on its business.
Group risks
The Group’s normal activity in different business and geographical areas requires an ongoing analysis of the
main risks which can be classified as follows:
a) Market risks
In this category the Group manages the risks relating to changing and specific circumstances in the markets in
which it operates, particularly potential regulatory changes in the various markets, country risk and risk arising
from entries into the market, alliances and joint ventures.
b) Operating risks
The main operational risks managed by the Group relate to:
• Contracting: bringing contracts into line with the policies defined by the Group.
• Subcontracting: arising from the secondary liability of the Group for the performance of subcontractors and
from possible discrepancies in the fulfilment of contracts.
• Quality: ensuring that the Group’s products and services meet the specifications and requirements of
customers and third parties.
167
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
• Health and safety: managing and preventing occupational illness and accidents suffered by Group employees
and by external personnel of collaborators.
• Environmental: efficient use of resources to prevent business activities having an adverse impact, mainly
on the environment but also on persons and property.
c) Financial risks
These risks mainly affect the obtainment of financing when required and at a reasonable cost and the
maximisation of the available financial resources. The most significant are as follows:
• Interest rate risk
• Foreign currency risk
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
d) Risks related to the reliability of economic and financial information
The Group’s objective is to ensure that the information used is correct and accurate and enables decisions to
be taken by Group executives and third parties.
Risk control policies and systems
By implementing an integral risk control model, the Group’s traditional policies for minimising risks and the
most efficient and complete control systems are being systematically integrated.
Both the control systems and the policies are backed up by internal regulations (rules and procedures) and by
information systems to form a complete, homogeneous and uniform whole. The main systems and policies and
their correlation with the aforementioned risks are detailed below:
a) Market-related
The Group’s presence in the Spanish and foreign markets is the result of a strategy defined after detailed
analysis of the risks and opportunities therein by the Group’s Strategy Committee and the managers of each
business line. This, together with the Group’s historical experience in many of these markets, mitigates the
exposure to risk.
The main business and geographical risk factors in each market are also monitored so that they may be
pre-empted.
168
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
Investment policy
All investments are carried out following the strategy set by the Group through its managing bodies, which is
monitored and defined by the Group’s Management Committee.
An Investment Committee analyses all the economic, financial, legal and tax aspects and the return required in
order to guarantee that all investments are in line with the aforementioned policy. It also takes all the decisions
on divestments and mergers.
b) Operations-related
System for the technical and economic planning of projects
There are detailed procedures with controls at different levels for project tender processes which disclose any
failure to comply with the Group’s objectives in this respect.
Most of the risks inherent to the performance of projects are associated with the meeting of deadlines, correct
performance and the control of project operations and costs.
The Group has technical planning tools that enable it to study, develop and monitor the complete execution
of the project by cost and sales activity. A system of this nature needs to be monitored and updated and the
production line reviews the progress of the projects at least every four months and takes all the corrective
measures required to guarantee deadlines, quality and profitability.
The business areas that do not use this tool have other specific tools with which to analyse the progress of
their business (e.g. traffic and incident control in concessions, etc.) and similarly take the required measures,
where necessary.
Purchasing system
The Group’s purchasing system is essential to guarantee the construction period, quality and profitability of
projects. Consequently, the Group uses tools such as internal regulations and computer systems to make this
process as efficient and transparent as possible.
The process begins with the accreditation of suppliers and subcontractors, which is an essential requirement
in order for bids to be accepted and projects to be awarded. Once this procedure has been carried out, the
decision-making processes related to orders or subcontracted work must comply with internal regulations
169
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
and be monitored in the performance phase by the manager of each project, who in turn is supervised by the
Purchasing Manager who follows all the process by computer.
Control of the legal obligations (tax and labour law) of the companies that work with us is monitored closely.
Insurance policy
The Group’s insurance policy is designed and implemented on a centralised basis.
In this regard, the Group insures its assets and takes out third-party liability and all-risk construction insurance
policies with the widest possible coverage for an appropriate price (cost of premiums).
All insurance cover is reviewed periodically to adapt it to changing conditions and to thus guarantee its
application.
Accordingly, in fulfilment of Environmental Liability Law 26/2007, transposing Directive 2004/35/CE, the Company
has taken out the insurance policy required to provide cover for this risk throughout the European Unión.
Quality system
The quality management system is essential to the achievement of the Group’s expected profitability since it
ensures that the quality standards required by customers are fulfilled.
This system complies with the ISO 9001:2000 standard and focuses on ongoing improvement and customer
satisfaction.
A key element of the quality system is the requirement for our suppliers and subcontractors to comply with the
aforementioned quality standards, which is why the prior accreditation system exists.
The quality system is implemented at most of our Spanish and foreign subsidiaries.
Occupational risk prevention system
The strategic plan initiated in 2004 enabled the Group to obtain OHSAS 18001:1999 certification in 2005. This
certificate is issued by SGS and has helped to implement a “zero accident” philosophy, reducing the accident
rate year after year.
Pursuant to the Occupational Risk Prevention Law, the Group subsidiaries act through the Joint Prevention
Service (SPM) which monitors the application of obligatory safety measures and prepares an occupational risk
prevention system in line with the UNE 81900 and OHSAS 18000 standards.
170
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
Environmental management system
The Group is aware of the environmental impact of its activities and is liable to both its customers and society.
It therefore uses an environmental management system based mainly on the management of quality and
sustainability indicators which afford a more profound and detailed knowledge of the impact on the environment
and allow the Group to take measures in this respect.
Employees are also given ongoing training in this area and the Group works with customers, suppliers,
governments and agencies in this connection.
Executive code of conduct
In 2002 the Group approved a code of conduct which ensures that all managers take into account the need to
comply with certain ethical principles in their actions.
Every executive receives and agrees to comply with the code.
A corporate Conduct Committee establishes and develops the procedures required to ensure compliance with
the code and is also responsible for interpreting infringements and proposing the appropriate disciplinary
measures.
The Group’s Internal Audit unit, which reports to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors
and performs annual reviews, plays a key role in the detection of internal infringements, which it reports to
the Committee.
Human resources policy
All Group policies in this area focus on the creation of stable and safe workplaces and professional training
and development.
At the same time, since the employees are considered the Group’s primary asset, there is fluent communication
with workers’ representatives to facilitate an appropriate working environment.
c) Finance-related
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the economic effects that might arise from the
foreign currency and interest risks to which it is exposed due to its business activities. These instruments are
arranged with highly solvent banks, thus reducing the credit risk to a minimum.
The liquidity risk is managed by controlling availability.
171
Financial Statements and Management Report
2008
The credit risk is also monitored exhaustively from the time a contract is studied until the debt has been
collected in full. The appropriate guarantees and hedges are also arranged when the circumstances so require
and particularly in connection with international projects.
d) Risks related to the reliability of economic and financial information
Economic information system
The information system is based on an in-house accounting system implemented at most Spanish Group
companies and at certain of the foreign companies, whose basic administrative processes and the associated
controls were developed by the Parent. When the characteristics of the activity so advise, specific accounting
and management systems are used.
Both systems are completed by a single reporting system for all Group companies which enables economic
information to be prepared for external reporting purposes.
The reliability of the Group’s information is guaranteed by internal controls which may take the shape of automatic
processes or periodic reviews..
Other matters
The general supervisory functions of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors include the review of the
Group’s financial statements, monitoring compliance with legal requirements and the correct application of
accounting policies and the review of the periodic financial information that the Board must furnish to the
markets.
If deemed appropriate, it may also use the advisory services of external professionals, those of any executives
considered necessary and those of external auditors.

D.6. Guarantee commitments to third parties
The contingent liabilities include the normal liability of construction companies for the performance and
completion of the project contracts held by the Group companies and those arranged by the joint ventures in

to the social security system with respect to their site employees. No losses are expected to arise for the Group
in this connection.
At 31 December 2008, the Group companies had provided EUR 2,779,307 thousand of guarantees to third parties
(31 December 2007: EUR 2,300,714 thousand), of which, in accordance with standard practice in the industry,
EUR 2,525,458 thousand (31 December 2007: 2,063,461 thousand) related to completion bonds deposited with
public authorities and private customers to guarantee proper performance of the project contracts, and the
remainder to provisional guarantees for project bids.
Also, some Group companies had provided personal and joint and several guarantees to various entities (mainly
banks) as security for the credit facilities granted to other Group companies which amounted to EUR 3,580
thousand at 31 December 2008 (31 December 2007: EUR 4,832 thousand).
The Parent’s directors do not expect any additional liabilities to arise in connection with these guarantees that
might affect the 2008 financial statements.

Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails
1. Economic overview
In the last quarter of 2008 there was a significant downturn in the world economy, affected by the acute financial
and liquidity crisis, and this began to show signs in emerging economies, which had remained relatively immune
to the crisis. The slowdown in world demand and the falling raw material prices, particularly tumbling oil prices,
reduced inflationary pressure considerably. Although the policies of the central banks might have prevented
the worst case scenario of a total collapse of the system, they were insufficient in view of the weakness of the
economy. After three years of world growth at approximately 5.0%, the World Bank has forecasted growth at
3.6% for 2008 and 1.9% for 2009.
The governments of the main world economies reacted to this severe widespread crisis with a series of urgent
measures lending financial and fiscal support, increasing the central banks’ mechanisms to provide liquidity
and reducing intervention rates on an unprecedented scale. European Central Bank interest rates ended the
year at 2.5% with further falls in January (to 2.0%) and March (to 1.5%).
The Spanish economy, hit by two crises (the world financial crisis and the Spanish real estate crisis), was
affected by two consecutive declines in the third and final quarter of 2008. Consequently, it is considered to
have technically entered a recession given the negative contribution of national demand, offset only in part by
the positive contribution from foreign trade. Year-on-year, GDP fell 0.7% in the final quarter although average
growth in the year taken as a whole stood at 1.2%.
Construction activity, which was hit hard by the real estate crisis and the subsequent decline in residential
building construction, continued to lose steam in the last quarter of 2008. According to the latest estimates by
Seopan (Spanish Constructors’ Association), the construction industry, with production of EUR 193,000 million,
saw a decrease of 5.1% in real terms with respect to 2007 and suffered the sharpest fall of all the industries in
the Spanish economy.
Public tenders, by date of issue in the Spanish Official State Gazette, ended the year at EUR 40,000 million,
a similar figure to that of 2007 (excluding the first generation motorways in 2007). Noteworthy was the sound
performance of the Spanish State-owned Land Transport Infrastructure Company (SEITT), up 110%.
Despite the reduction in interest rates, residential demand is not expected to recover in the short term or indeed
until house prices have been adjusted to the economic and financial capabilities of potential demand, which
would enable for-sale-housing inventories to be absorbed over time.
The government announced for 2009, as a measure to kick start the economy, the most extensive public works
investment programme in the history of Spain totalling EUR 33,000 million in infrastructure projects, of which
more than 55% will be used for transport infrastructure. In addition, the State Budget already included a year-
on-year 6% increase in investment from the Ministry of Public Works and its publicly-owned companies.

2. Business Performance
Results
2008 was characterised by the intensifying and broadening global economic crisis, one of the most serious
economic crises in history. Against such a formidable backdrop, the OHL Group obtained highly satisfactory
results and achieved the following growth:
• Sales: 6.5%
• EBITDA: 11.9%
• EBIT: 13.1%
• Net attributable profit: 7.3%
This was made possible due to the Group’s successful strategy in place and in use since 2002 (with a view to
growth following the completion of the merger period), which entails the following:
• No presence in real estate activities.
• Reduction of residential building construction to a minimum.
• On-going diversification in construction-related activities.
• Internationalisation, always in accordance with principles of prudence.
• A sustained sound and conservative financial structure.
Accordingly, the Group was able to obtain sound results due to the noteworthy contribution from the
International Construction line of business (with sales, EBITDA and EBIT growth of over 20%) and the diversifica-
tion activities: Concessions (the most significant due to its relative weight, accounting for 55.9% of the Group’s

EBITDA), Environment and Development. Despite the adverse situation arising from the fall in sales,
Domestic Construction achieved satisfactory results in terms of EBITDA and EBIT, which grew by 2.4% and
9.4%, respectively.
The considerable increase in the Group’s total backlog, up 55.2% in 2008 (an increase of 13.6% in the short-term
backlog and 61.9% in the long-term backlog), guarantees ongoing future growth that will continue to be based
on International Construction and Concessions, the backlog for which grew 70.9% and 66.6%, respectively.
Lastly, in accordance with the financial principles of prudence established, the Group ended the year with a
sound liquidity and indebtedness position, which translates as:
- Net with-recourse borrowings equivalent to 2.68 times with-recourse EBITDA.
- More than EUR 600 million available credit facilities.
- Cash and current financial assets of EUR 765.1 million.
- Well diversified financing sources, including EUR 600 million from the issue of bonds on the Euromarket,
maturing in May 2012, and EUR 303.2 million from a syndicated loan, also on the Euromarket, the final
maturity of which is in January 2011.

business period of 18 months. Domestic Construction accounted for 53.2% of this backlog while International
Construction represented 43.3%.
The long-term backlog totalled EUR 53,044.6 million, up 61.9% due to the new concessions obtained, particularly
the five federal motorways in Brazil.
87.0% of the long-term backlog relates to the market abroad and the remaining 13.0% to the Spanish market.
Infrastructure concession contracts account for 95.1% of the total amount with a 66.6% rise in motorway
concessions, due mainly to the inclusion of the five federal motorways in Brazil.

Domestic Construction sales fell 9.5% in 2008 with respect to 2007 due to the downturn in the Spanish economy
and the concomitant deceleration of project execution and tenders, particularly in the first half of 2008, which
was also affected by the general elections held in March.

However, the significant concentration of this line of business on large civil engineering works and non-
residential building construction projects meant that its EBITDA and EBIT grew 2.4% and 9.4% with respect to
2007, despite the fall in sales.
The Group will continue to implement the strategy announced in 2002, consisting of reducing residential
building construction activity to a minimum and the on-going concentration on civil works and non-residential
building construction. This strategy, together with the committed drive announced by the government to invest
in infrastructures - a necessary measure to kick start the Spanish economy – should enable the Group to sustain
the level of activity in future years.

EBIT 76.8 5.4 57.4 4.9 33.8
Total backlog 2,716.5 1,589.6 70.9
Despite the complicated macroeconomic scenario, International Construction achieved excellent results in
2008, leading to the following year-on-year increases:
• Sales: 23.0%
• EBITDA: 27.8%
• EBIT: 33.8%
These results were possible due largely to the positive performance of the Czech subsidiaries, whose billings
increased by 30.2% in 2008, the start up of significant contracts awarded in that year (Hospital de Sidra in
Doha, Qatar, and the Orán conference centre in Algeria) and the inclusion of new American companies Arellano
Construction and Stride Constructors, specialised in hospital building construction.
However, most significant was the substantial growth in the short-term backlog (construction) at the end of
2008, up 81.1% to EUR 2,609.1 million, thereby guaranteeing continued growth in this activity in the future.
Also noteworthy was the sound geographical diversification of this backlog, the detail of which is as follows:
• Qatar: 32%
• Algeria: 23%
• Central and Eastern Europe: 21%
• US: 13%

• Mexico: 7%
• Chile: 2%
This backlog still does not include the projects due to be carried out for certain of the significant concessions
awarded in 2008 and contracts awarded in the first few months of 2009, some of which are particularly important
such as the Miami underground (Florida, US).

- As a result of the sale of the 50% ownership interest in Fumisa (Mexico) on 29 February 2008, it no longer
contributed either sales or EBITDA in 2008. In 2007 the aforementioned company contributed EUR 32.5 million
and EUR 30.8 million, respectively. Nonetheless, this sale gave rise to a gain of EUR 25.3 million.
The detail, by country, of the sales and EBITDA of the main concession operators as a result of the aforementioned
factors and following the effect of the depreciation of various currencies, is as follows:

In addition to the overall positive operational performance of the Group’s concession operators, particularly
noteworthy was the inclusion of the new contracts in Brazil (five federal motorways) and Mexico (Libramiento
Norte Northern Bypass in Puebla and the Bicentenario flyover in Mexico City).
Following these awards, OHL Concesiones currently manages 25 concessions, including 21 toll motorway
concessions totalling 4,044 km, 1 airport, 1 port and 2 rail concessions, thereby consolidating its position as
one of the world’s leading infrastructure concession operators (according to the PWF Newsletter, October 2008,
OHL moved up one place in the world ranking to number 7).

It is also important to mention the agreement in principle reached in January 2009 with the Argentine government
following several years of negotiation, which is currently at the implementation stage, whereby the tariffs to be
collected by the concession operator AECSA virtually doubled and, consequently, progress was made towards
restoring the economic and financial equilibrium of the contract.
Also, in 2008 a claim was formally filed to re-establish the economic balance of the Barajas Airport – Direct
Access Motorway (Autopista Eje-Aeropuerto de Barajas) concession (Madrid), for which actual traffic flows have
been considerably lower than those estimated in the tender process. Accordingly, in 2008 property, plant and
equipment were tested for impairment to determine whether they had suffered any losses that might reduce
their recoverable amount. Consequently, an impairment loss of EUR 18 million was recognised for property, plant
and equipment. This impairment loss had an extremely adverse effect on the concession operator’s EBITDA and
was added to prior years’ impairment losses of EUR 30 million. Consequently, property, plant and equipment
were stated at their estimated recoverable value.
At 31 December 2008, the long-term backlog stood at EUR 50,425.4 million, up a considerable 66.6% with respect
to 2007 year-end, due mainly to the inclusion of the five Brazilian federal concessions and the Bicentenario
flyover concession in Mexico City.

Environment recorded sales of EUR 119.9 million in 2008, a figure very similar to the one in 2007.
However, EBITDA increased by 48.5% due to the improvement in margins arising on the gradual maturation of
the projects in progress.
Environment ended the year with a short-term backlog equivalent to 18.3 months of sales and a long-term
backlog of EUR 2,494.3 million.

As regards Development, sales and EBITDA were up 38.8% and 86.3%, respectively, due to the ongoing
consolidation of the Mayakobá tourist complex, the main project of this line of business.
In 2008 the Fairmont and Rosewood hotels and “El Camaleón” golf course opened at Mayakoba, as did the
Banyan Tree hotel recently in 2009. The fourth hotel, Viceroy, is under construction and the agreements are
being finalised for construction of the fifth and final hotel that will complete the complex.

The OHL Group’s revenue for 2008 amounted to EUR 4,008.8 million, up 6.5% on 2007. International Construction
and Concessions mainly contributed to this increase, up 23.0% and 24.5%, respectively, and offset the decrease
in the volume of construction of Domestic Construction (-9.5%). Environment and Development also grew by
2.7% and 38.8%, respectively.
48.6% of total revenue in 2008 was obtained in Spain and the remaining 51.4% came from abroad. International
sales rose by 22.5%, a clear indication of the growing internationalisation of the Group.
EBITDA for 2008 amounted to EUR 607.6 million, accounting for 15.2% of revenue and representing an increase
of 11.9% with respect to 2007. This increase was due mainly to International Construction and Concessions
which, with increases in EBITDA of 27.8% and 7.2%, respectively, represent 74.2% of the Group’s total EBITDA.
Also noteworthy was the 2.4% rise in EBITDA in Domestic Construction despite the decrease of 9.5% in the
volume of construction.
85.6% of the Group’s total EBITDA came from abroad compared with 79.7% in 2007.
EBIT for 2008 amounted to EUR 422.7 million, representing 10.5% of revenue, and was also up 13.1% on
2007. All the lines of business showed growth, particularly International Construction and Concessions, which
represented 72.2% of the Group’s total EBIT.
The financial loss for 2008 amounted to EUR 203.1 million, EUR 44.4 million more than in 2007. This rise was
due basically to the increase in the finance costs of infrastructure concession operators (Metro Ligero Oeste,
Ruta 60, etc.), which came into service in the second half of 2007, and the rise in the Group’s net corporate
borrowings with respect to 2007.
Exchange differences in 2008 amounted to a loss of EUR 20.6 million compared to a gain of EUR 6.9 million in
2007. The average and year-end euro exchange rates for currencies from the main countries in which the OHL
Group operates depreciated sharply by 22.9%, 20.7% and 18.5%, in the case of the year-end exchange rates
for the Brazilian real, Chilean peso and Mexican peso, respectively.
Noteworthy under Gains/Losses on changes in value of financial instruments at fair value is the loss of EUR 18.7
million related to the closing value of the equity swap arranged on 13 November 2007 to hedge the incentive
plan tied to the Group’s share price which expires in three years.

Management Report
2008
The following positive results are noteworthy under Impairment and gains on disposal of financial
instruments:
- The gain of EUR 25.3 million on the sale of the 50% ownership interest held by the OHL Group in the Mexican
company Fumisa, which operated the international terminal at Mexico City airport.
- The gain of EUR 36.3 million on the repurchase in the market of bonds issued by Obrascón Huarte Lain, listed
on the London stock exchange for a nominal amount of EUR 100.0 million, at an acquisition price of EUR 63.7
million. In accordance with the terms of the issue, the repurchased obligations were redeemed
Profit before tax stood at EUR 267.0 million, representing 6.7% of revenue and an increase of 15.7% with respect
to 2007.
The consolidated profit attributable to the Parent amounted to EUR 150.7 million, accounting for 3.8 % of revenue
and up 7.3% on 2007.

Management Report
2008
The main observations on the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2008 and the changes therein with
respect to 31 December 2007 are as follows:
Property, plant and equipment: amounted to EUR 3,683.9 million, of which 89.2% relate to concession operators.
This heading was up EUR 346.8 million, an increase of 10.4%, due mainly to the net effect of the following:
- Net investments of EUR 394.3 million made by infrastructure concession operators in 2008, including most
notably the five federal motorway concession operators in Brazil, Concesionaria Mexiquense, S.A. de C.V.,
Metro Ligero Pozuelo y Boadilla, S.A. and Cercanías Móstoles Navalcarnero.
- The net investments of EUR 10.5 million made by the Environment concession operators.
- The exclusion of Fumisa, whose registered office is in Mexico, from the scope of consolidation due to the
sale thereof. This company contributed net property, plant and equipment of EUR 60.1 million at 31 December
2007.
Intangible assets: amounted to EUR 293.6 million, up EUR 46.0 million with respect to 31 December 2007. Of
the total balance of this heading, EUR 145.5 million relate to the fees of the infrastructure concession operators,
including most notably in 2008 the inclusion of the fees of the concession operator Viaducto Bicentenario, S.A.
de C.V. in Mexico, amounting to EUR 39.5 million.
Trade and other payables: at 31 December 2008 the balance amounted to EUR 1,810.9 million, which accounted
for 23.7% of total assets. 30.2% of the balance related to amounts to be billed for work performed, and the ratio
stood at 1.6 months of sales, in line with the figure for 2007.
Equity attributable to the Parent: amounted to EUR 422.4 million at 31 December 2008, which represented
5.5% of total assets and was down EUR 186.0 million compared with 31 December 2007, due to the net effect
of the following:
- The profit attributable for 2008, which amounted to EUR 150.7 million.
- Fall of EUR 35.0 million as a result of the dividend paid in July 2008 out of 2007 profit.
- Decrease in reserves:
- of EUR 181.5 million arising in the translation of the financial statements in foreign currency. This
considerable impact arose from depreciation of the currencies of the above-mentioned main countries
in which the Group operates, the majority of which occurred in the last two years.
- of EUR 89.9 million due to the effect of the measurement of financial instruments.
- of EUR 24.0 million related to the increase in treasury shares in 2008.
- of EUR 6.3 million due to other changes in reserves.

Stock exchange
The crisis sparked by the real estate industry and its effect on the financial markets stemming from the sub-
prime mortgages continued to blight all types of financial assets and gave rise to a liquidity crisis and a lack
of confidence among economic players that has cast doubt on the current capitalist system. Governments
and institutions of the main states and economic areas worldwide reacted with measures and plans aimed at
rescuing the financial system and the economy itself.
The adverse effects of the financial crisis on world economic activity, and particularly listed companies,
reverberated throughout world stock markets. Stock market prices crashed across the board which went hand
in hand with a rise in volatility, which was at its highest level in twenty years.
Following five consecutive years of profit, Spain’s main stock exchange index, the Ibex 35, fell 39.43% in 2008,
an all-time yearly low. The industries hardest hit were real estate, construction companies and banks, with an
average loss in 2008 of 50% of their market value.
After reaching a maximum price of EUR 28.98 in May (up 25.83% on the 2007 closing price), the OHL Group’s
shares ended 2008 with a market price of EUR 9.96, down 56.75% on 2007. A total of 124,261,103 shares were
traded in 2008 (142.0% of the total amount listed), with an average of 489,216 shares traded daily.
On 9 April 2008, the Company entered the new FTSE4Good Ibex sustainability index and became one of the twenty
seven securities in the select group of listed companies that founded the sector for responsible investment on
the Spanish stock exchange. The FTSE4Good Ibex is the first index for socially responsible investments on the
Spanish market and is specifically designed to be used to create financial products such as exchange-traded
funds (ETFs). Inclusion in this index evidences the Group’s compliance with the strict FTSE4Good criteria for
ethical, social and environmental responsibility, thus enabling it to consolidate itself as a Group with socially
responsible business practices and to qualify investment in OHL as responsible and sustainable.

At its meeting held on 10 June 2008, the Technical Advisory Committee for the Ibex indices decided, in accordance
with the technical standards on the composition and calculation of the Ibex indices, to include Obrascón Huarte
Lain, S.A. in the Ibex 35 index, effective from 1 July. At the end of 2008, this index had accumulated a decline
in value of 39.4% with respect to 2007.
On 10 October 2008, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) 2273/2203, and the authorisation
granted by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on 20 May 2008, the Board of Directors agreed
to implement a treasury share repurchase plan, whereby the Company could acquire a maximum number of
4,374,603 shares, equivalent to 5% of the share capital.
This plan established that the shares be purchased at market price under the price and volume conditions
envisaged in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) 2273/2203, in the Company’s Code of Conduct on matters relating to
the Securities Market and within the limits set by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of 20 May
2008.
The plan will end either on 30 June 2009 or previously on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the
Company’s shareholders authorise for issue the financial statements for 2008.
The purpose of this plan is to reduce share capital under a resolution to be adopted by the Company’s shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting, on the terms and conditions established thereat. However, the acquired shares
may also be used to cover the duly approved plans to deliver Company shares and share options.
At 2008 year-end, Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A., held 2,980,262 treasury shares arising from the liquidity agreement
entered into on 10 July 2007 with Crédit Agricole Cheuvreux, S.A., and from the Repurchase Plan agreed on by
the Board of Directors on 10 October 2008.
As in previous years, the dividend per share was approximately 25%, estimated on the basis of profit for the
year attributable to the Parent.

7. Main Risks and Uncertainties
The Group is exposed to four types of financial risk:
- Interest rate risk arising from possible changes in the cash flows associated with borrowings tied to floating
interest rates.
- Foreign currency risk arising from possible changes in the equivalent euro value of foreign trade transactions
denominated in foreign currency.
- Credit risk arising from the possible non-payment by banks of the amounts to be paid in the future to the
Company in respect of financial instruments arranged.
- Liquidity risk arising from the business activities’ financing needs.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the economic effects that might arise from the
foreign currency and interest risks to which it is exposed due to its business activities.
Financial instruments are arranged with highly solvent banks, thus reducing the credit risk to a minimum.
The liquidity risk is managed by controlling at all times the availability of sufficient cash and financing to cover
the liquidity requirements.
The financial risks which might arise, especially in relation to credit and liquidity, are minimal due to the controls
and policies in place, particularly the policies in relation to debt structure and the diversification of sources of
financing, and to the sound financial position of the OHL Group.
8. Events after the balance sheet date
On 16 March 2009, the credit rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
of Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and the unsecured senior debt rating from BBB- to BB+ and the short-term IDR
from F3 to B.
The long-term IDR and the unsecured senior debt rating were put on Rating Watch Negative (RWN) by the
agency.

Management Report
2008
9. Outlook
The economy and the industry
The latest revision of the Stability Programme for 2008-2011 presents the following forecasts for the Spanish
economy for the next three years: negative growth of 1.6% in 2009 and positive growth of 1.2% in 2010 and
2.6% in 2011.
Despite the reduction in interest rates, the latest indicators continue to point towards an increase in the decline
in construction activity in the first few months of 2009.
Residential demand is not expected to recover in the short term or indeed until house prices have been adjusted
to the economic and financial capabilities of potential demand, which would enable for-sale-housing inventories
to be absorbed over time.
Non-residential construction will make headway in 2009 through the State Investment Plan in municipal public
works, pushing growth to 1.2% (11.0% in public works and 6.3% in private projects) and offsetting the downturn
in housing construction only in part.
The government announced for 2009, as a measure to kick start the economy, the most extensive public works
investment programme in the history of Spain totalling EUR 33,000 million in infrastructure projects, of which
more than 55% will be used for transport infrastructure. In addition, the State Budget already included a year-
on-year 6% increase in investment from the Ministry of Public Works and its publicly-owned companies.
According to the latest estimates by Seopan, the construction industry could end 2009 with negative growth of
8% to 12%, evidencing the fact that the impact of the financial crisis in Spain has not only affected the housing
market but the entire construction industry.
10. Outlook for the near future
The Group will continue to implement the same strategy in place since 2002 after the merger process, which
enabled it to face the world financial crisis and the Spanish real estate crisis from a position of strength.
Accordingly, the strategy outlined entails the Group’s consolidation of its presence in Domestic Construction
based on civil engineering work. With respect to building construction, it will continue to concentrate on non-
residential building construction and to reduce its presence in residential building construction (housing-unit
construction) to virtually nothing. Sales figures are expected to hold up in the area taken as a whole due to the
ongoing investment in infrastructures acting as leverage to stimulate the Spanish economy and the low exposure
214
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
to housing-unit construction, which was badly affected by the severe Spanish real estate crisis. It should also
be noted that the Group will continue to refrain from operating in the real estate business in the future.
Internationalisation and diversification, especially in infrastructure concessions, will continue to be the
cornerstones of the Group’s growth in the future.
In terms of internationalisation, it should be noted that the international business accounted for 51% of sales,
80% of EBITDA, 66% of assets and 83% of the Group’s backlog at 2008 year-end.
Specifically, the International Construction line of business, for which yearly growth has exceeded 25% in
the last four years, will continue to display strong grow although at all times in line with the Group’s criteria
of prudence. Accordingly, the billings of this line of business in 2009 are likely to exceed that of Domestic
Construction for the first time.
There has also been a substantial diversification process in recent years although, in accordance with the
strategy announced, in construction-related activities only. The Group will continue to adopt this strategy in
the future, basing its diversification on the infrastructure concession activity, which represented 56% of 2008
consolidated EBITDA thereby becoming the core business. The growth of this line of business in the future
will continue to be based in the same countries in which the Group is present, especially Mexico, Brazil, Chile
and Spain, applying highly selective criteria when investing in new projects that include a return in euros of
over 15% for the shareholder and non-recourse project financing using the same currency in which revenue is
generated.
The smallest lines of business of the Group will also support the related diversification process since they are
expected to gradually increase their relative weight. These lines of business are Environment (desalination
and water purification only), Development (Mayakoba tourist resort) and the new Industrial line of business
(complete turnkey plants).
Of equal importance to the future is the Group’s commitment to the financial security criteria that it applied in
the past, which will enable it to face the world financial crisis with confidence without the need to refinance or
sell significant assets. It will continue to give priority to sustaining conservative indebtedness (net with recourse
borrowings less than three times with recourse EBITDA) and a significant liquidity position, and will also continue
to cover financial requirements on an on-going basis with long-term borrowings.
Lastly, as far as corporate strategy is concerned, the Group will continue to place particular emphasis on boosting
sustainable development policies and fostering R&D&i activities, thereby placing it at the forefront of the design
and organisation of corporate government, complying with all regulations and recommendations at all times and
basing increased productivity and competitiveness on the human resources and applied research policies.

that the director shall abstain from attending and intervening in any debates that may affect his/her matters of
personal interest. There shall also be a director’s conflict of interest when the matter affects a person related
to him/her pursuant to Article 127 section 5 of the Companies Law.
In order to perform direct or indirect professional or commercial transactions with the Company, the director
should report the conflict of interest to the Board of Directors so it can be authorised, upon prior report from
the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
The director or a related person, pursuant to Article 127 section 5 of the Companies Law, shall not benefit from a
Company’s business opportunity, unless previously offered to and rejected by the Company, and the contribution
thereof be authorised by the Board upon prior report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

and Remuneration Committee has assessed the operation under shareholders’ equal opportunities policy and
market conditions.

D. Risk control systems
D.1. General description of the risk policy of the Company and/or its Group, giving details of and evaluating
the risks covered by the system, together with evidence that the system is appropriate for the profile of each
type of risk:
One of the priorities of OHL Group’s corporate governance policy is risk management and internal control.
Internal control procedures must enable risk control to be improved, facilitate a monitoring system and ensure
that the controls are applied correctly.
The objectives of risk management are as follows:
• Prevention and control of the risks that may affect the achievement of the targets set by the Group and its
equity.
• Ensure compliance with current legislation and with the Group’s internal regulations and procedures.
• Guarantee the reliability and completeness of the accounting and financial information.
In order to strengthen the integration of risk management in the decisions relating to the Group’s business,
the Parent reinforced the global risk management system and enhanced the management system of the
whole organisation so that the managers of all the business lines follow the same corporate principles in risk
management and are able to use uniform policies, processes and models.
This integrated risk control system permits the following:
1) Identification of the events that may affect the achievement of the Group’s targets.
2) Evaluation of the risks arising from these events.
3) Taking of decisions on the measures to be implemented to maintain the risks within the established limits.
4) Appropriate monitoring of risks.
The Group currently has a corporate risk model, drawn up on the basis of the models established for the
Domestic and International business lines, with their respective indicators for the risks identified. Once the
252
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
control targets had been identified, they were systematically monitored and this process will be intensified and
extended to the other activities.
The Group has thus identified the risks that may prevent it from achieving its targets; it has fostered the
ongoing improvement of the existing controls (actions, policies, regulations and procedures), perfecting the
measurement indicators established for each risk and, therefore, has minimised the probability of these risks
having a significant impact on its business.
Group risks
The Group’s normal activity in different business and geographical areas requires an ongoing analysis of the
main risks that may be classified as follows:
a) Market risks
In this category the Group manages the risks relating to changing and specific circumstances in the markets in
which it operates, particularly potential regulatory changes in the various markets, country risk and risk arising
from entries into the market, alliances and joint ventures.
b) Operational risks
The main operational risks managed by the Group relate to:
• Contracting: bringing contracts into line with the policies defined by the Group.
• Subcontracting: arising from the secondary liability of the Group for the performance of subcontractors and
from possible discrepancies in the fulfilment of contracts.
• Quality: ensuring that the Group’s products and services meet the specifications and requirements of customers
and third parties.
• Health and safety: managing and preventing occupational illness and accidents suffered by Group employees
and by external personnel of collaborators.
• Environmental: efficient use of resources to prevent business activities having an adverse impact, mainly on
the environment but also on persons and property.
c) Financial risks
These risks mainly affect the obtainment of financing when required and at a reasonable cost and the
maximisation of the available financial resources. The most significant are as follows:
• Interest rate risk
• Exchange rate risk
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
d) Risks related to the reliability of economic and financial information
The Group’s objective is to ensure that the information used is correct and accurate and enables decisions to
be taken by Group executives and third parties.
253
Management Report
2008
Risk control policies and systems
By implementing an integral risk control model, the Group’s traditional policies for minimising risks and the
most efficient and complete control systems are being systematically integrated.
Both the control systems and the policies are backed up by internal regulations (rules and procedures) and by
information systems to form a complete, homogeneous and uniform whole. The main systems and policies
and their correlation with the aforementioned risks are detailed below:
a) Market-related
The Group’s presence in the Spanish and foreign markets is the result of a strategy defined after detailed
analysis of the risks and opportunities therein by the Group’s Management Committee and the managers of
each business line. This, together with the Group’s historical experience in many of these markets, mitigates
the exposure to risk.
The main business and geographical risk factors in each market are also monitored so that they may be
pre-empted.
> Investment policy
The Group’s investments follow the strategy set by the Group through its managing bodies, which is monitored
and defined by the Group’s Management Committee.
An Investment Committee analyses all the economic, financial, legal and tax issues and the return required in
order to guarantee that all investments are in line with the aforementioned policy. Such Committee also takes
all the decisions on divestments and mergers.
b) Operations-related
> System for the technical and economic planning of projects
There are detailed procedures with controls at different levels for project tender processes which disclose any
failure to comply with the Group’s objectives in this respect.
Most of the risks inherent to the execution of projects are associated with the meeting of deadlines, correct
execution and the control of project operations and costs.
The Group has technical planning tools that enable it to study, develop and monitor the complete execution
of the project by cost and sales activity. A system of this nature needs to be monitored and updated and the
254
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
production line reviews the progress of the projects at least every four months and takes all the corrective
measures required to guarantee deadlines, quality and profitability.
The business areas that do not use this tool have other specific tools with which to analyse the progress of
their business (e.g. traffic and incident control in concessions, etc.) and similarly take the required measures,
if applicable.
> Purchasing system
The Group’s purchasing system is essential to guarantee the construction period, quality and profitability of
projects. Consequently, the Group uses tools such as internal regulations and computer systems to make this
process as efficient and transparent as possible.
The process begins with the accreditation of suppliers and subcontractors, which is an essential requirement
in order for bids to be accepted and projects to be awarded. Upon accomplishment of this requirement,
decision making processes for the projects or hirings to be awarded shall observe the internal regulations
and be monitored at their execution stage by each project manager, under the surveillance of the Purchasing
Management following up the whole process through computer systems.
Particular attention is paid to controlling the legal obligations (tax and labour law) of the companies that work
with us.
> Insurance policy
The Group’s insurance policy is designed and implemented on a centralised basis.
In this regard, the Group insures its assets and takes out third-party liability and all-risk construction insurance
policies with the widest possible coverage for an appropriate price (cost of premiums).
All insurance cover is reviewed periodically to adapt it to changing conditions and to thus guarantee its
application.
In this respect and pursuant to Act 26/2007 on Environmental Responsibility, part of Directive 2004/35/EC in
the Spanish legal system, the Company counts with an insurance policy covering such risk within the scope of
the European Union.
> Quality system
The quality management system is essential to the achievement of the Group’s expected profitability since it
ensures that the quality standards required by customers are fulfilled.
255
Management Report
2008
Such system observes the standard ISO 9001:2000 and is designed for continuous improvement and for our
customers’ satisfaction.
A key element of the quality system is the requirement for our suppliers and subcontractors to comply with the
aforementioned quality standards, which is why the prior accreditation system exists.
The quality system is implemented at most of our Spanish and foreign subsidiaries.
> Occupational risk prevention system
The strategic plan initiated in 2004 enabled the Group to obtain OHSAS 18001:1999 certification in 2005. This
certificate is issued by SGS and has helped to implement a “zero accident” philosophy, reducing the accident
rate year after year.
Pursuant to the Occupational Risk Prevention Law, the Group subsidiaries act through the Joint Prevention
Service (SPM) which monitors the application of obligatory safety measures and prepares an occupational risk
prevention system in line with the UNE 81900 and OHSAS 18000 standards.
> Environmental management system
The Group is aware of the environmental impact of its activities and is liable to both its customers and society.
It therefore uses an environmental management system based mainly on the management of quality and
sustainability indicators which afford a more profound and detailed knowledge of the impact on the environment
and allow the Group to take measures in this respect.
Employees are also given ongoing training in this area and the Group works with customers, suppliers,
governments and agencies in this connection.
> Executive Staff’s Code of Conduct
In 2002 the Group approved a code of conduct which ensures that all managers take into account the need to
comply with certain ethical principles in their actions.
Every executive receives and agrees to comply with the code.
A corporate Conduct Committee establishes and develops the procedures required to ensure compliance with
the code and is also responsible for interpreting infringements and proposing the appropriate disciplinary
measures.
256
>> Obrascón Huarte Lain, S.A. and Subsidiaries
The Group’s Internal Audit unit, which reports to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors
and performs annual reviews, plays a key role in the detection of internal infringements, which it reports to
the Committee.
> Human resources policy
All Group policies in this area focus on the creation of stable and safe workplaces and professional training
and development.
At the same time, since the employees are considered the Group’s primary asset, there is fluent communication
with workers’ representatives to facilitate an appropriate working environment.
c) Finance-related
The Group uses derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate the economic effects of foreign currency
and interest rate risks to which it is exposed. They are arranged with highly solvent banks, thereby reducing
the credit risk to a minimum.
The liquidity risk is managed by controlling availability.
The credit risk is also monitored exhaustively from the time a contract is studied until the debt has been
collected in full. The appropriate guarantees and hedges are also arranged when the circumstances so require
and particularly in connection with international projects.
d) Related to the reliability of economic and financial information
> Economic information system
The information system is based on an in-house accounting system implemented at most Spanish Group
companies and at certain of the foreign companies, whose basic administrative processes and the associated
controls were developed by the Parent company. When the characteristics of the activity so advise, specific
accounting and management systems are used.
Both systems are completed by a single reporting system for all Group companies which enables economic
information to be prepared for external reporting purposes.
The reliability of the Group’s information is guaranteed by internal controls which may take the shape of automatic
processes or periodic reviews.
257
Management Report
2008
> Other matters
The general supervisory functions of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors include the review of the
Group’s financial statements, monitoring compliance with legal requirements and the correct application of
accounting policies and the review of the periodic financial information that the Board must furnish to the
markets.
If deemed appropriate, it may also use the advisory services of external professionals, those of any executives
considered necessary and those of external auditors.
