The three projects, which total over 400 kilometers of road, are estimated to cost over USD 1.6 billion and have already received debt financing from leading financial institutions and substantial equity investment from Isolux Corsn. The projects are expansions of existing roads, and will link major cities, industrial hubs, as well as ports and tourist attractions. In addition to these three projects, Isolux Corsn has qualified to bid on several new NHAI projects. This platform will leverage Isolux Corsns strong credentials in developing infrastructure assets for emerging markets and its proven ability to work with local construction companies.

Future Outlook During 2012, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the Spanish economy underwent an annual decrease of 1.4 % meanwhile; in 2011 the GDP experienced a slight increase of 0.4%. During 2012, in regard to neighboring countries, it has to be remarked that in the euro zone, the GDP has decreased by 0.5%, whilst in 2011 increased by 1.5%. These figures clearly indicate that the year 2012 has been negative for the euro zone and especially adverse for the Spanish economy. This decrease is due in particular to the decline in internal demand (3.9%), mainly caused by the reduction in public administration consumption and in the gross formation of fixed capital (9.1%), household consumption also decrease (2.2%) and a decline of the Public Administrations (3.7%). The GDP growth of the year was softened due to the increase in exports of goods and services by 3.0%. In comparison with previous year, employment has decreased by 4.4 %, which led to a sharp increase in the unemployment rate from 21.6 % in 2011 to 25% in 2012. The consumer price index ended in 2012 at 2.4%, which is lower than the 3.2% at which 2011 ended. Regarding investment, the gross formation of fixed capital fell by 9.1% in 2012, reflecting a 6.7% increase in capital goods and 11.5% decline in construction. Forecast for the year 2013 by the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of Spain draw a recessive scenario for the Spanish economy for 2013 Economic forecasts for 2013 foresee a significant decline in the performance of the Spanish economy. GDP is expected to decrease by 1% to 2%, with a slight decrease in the public administration consumption due to governmental adjustments, investment in construction and household consumption. Economic forecasts for those emerging countries in which the Company operates are quite positive in contrast to the expected pessimistic atmosphere of the eurozone and the U.S. If confirm, the existing pattern for more than one decade will be extended in those countries: rapid economic growth, stable financial conditions and heavy investment in infrastructure. Logically, the 13

heterogeneity within the Group is remarkable and there are problematic cases, but in overall the outlook is positive. In this context, emerging countries could easily reach next years a GDP growth around 5.5%, one percentage point above the average of recent decades. The expected growth of 2013 Gross Domestic Product in those countries in which the Company operates are for Brazil (3.5%), India (6.5%), Mercosur (3.3%), Mexico (4.7%), Middle East and North of Afica (3.3%) and Saharan Africa (4.5%). The business volume of Grupo Isolux Corsn during 2012 exceeded 2,269 million euro, 17% of which relates to the domestic market and 83% to international markets. The Groups total portfolio at 31 December 2012 amounts to 46,481.4 million euro, 18% of which relates to domestic market and 82% to international ones. Despite the current macro-economic environment both in Spain and globally, Group portfolio figures, enable us to be reasonably optimistic about our prospects in 2013. Grupo Isolux Corsn expects to improve turnover by maintaining its profitability ratios and cash generation during 2013.
