STRATEGY F Bribosia 5 QUESTIONS TO HANS BEERLANDT CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER BESIX GROUP INSIDE Hans as CFO what would you share with our readers Firstly a round of applause for the colleagues responsible for our record 5 2 billion euros order book as of 31 December 2022 This landmark figure reflects countless hours of hard work by our engineers buyers planners and many more who worked tirelessly to secure winning bids As a result we ve maintained a robust project pipeline in 2023 and secured new contracts to sustain our momentum Our revenue stream continues to flourish illustrating the consistent inflow of projects INSIDE Does this suggest a full recovery in our profitability Not exactly Let s spotlight our net results they require our undivided attention Margins in Contracting are still thin highlighting the need for thoughtful financial management to attain sustainable profitability Merely increasing volume isn t the end goal we aim to generate more profit INSIDE How can we nudge our profitability towards the right direction To boost profitability especially in Contracting we must be discerning focusing on projects where risks are evenly balanced Through careful evaluation and selection of projects with favourable risk profiles we can optimise our returns Encouragingly this strategy has started bearing fruit with improved gross margins on our recent contracts highlighting the positive effect of our profit centric approach in our order book More than ever in Contracting choosing the right projects and preparing them adequately before execution are key to more profitability INSIDE Could you discuss the current cash flow scenario Of course In addition to being selective with projects rigorous cash management is paramount Cash is the lifeblood of any business including at BESIX Group To give you a few practical examples those managing projects should ensure prompt accurate invoicing This maintains a consistent cash flow and enables timely receipt of payments from clients and partners Everyone across teams should keep tabs on expenses to avoid unnecessary outlay When purchasing products or services team up with our Procurement department to negotiate favourable terms with suppliers This collective responsibility helps optimise our financial health INSIDE How would you summarise the first half of 2023 The size and quality of our order book are promising However it will bear its fruits mainly in 2024 and beyond In 2023 thin margins on challenging Contracting projects taken in the past and still under execution add pressure on our overall margins and have a negative impact on our current cash situation This means that a prudent cash management is needed more than ever By working together we can maintain a robust cash position and enhance our financial performance Our joint commitment to these principles will greatly contribute to our sustained profitability TOGETHER TOWARDS TOMORROW THE WAY FORWARD STRATEGY F Bribosia Ever

Senior Engineer at BESIX Engineering So why is CO2 such a crucial parameter for BESIX Research reveals that 70 of construction industry CO2 emissions come from building energy usage 28 from building

balance between functionality and sustainability ensuring projects stay on course towards their goals while minimising environmental impact By incorporating CO2 as a design parameter we can become ambassadors of sustainable construction emphasises Eveline While we acknowledge that Europe and governments are exploring decarbonisation strategies and carbon footprint limits on construction projects we don t want to wait passively for forthcoming regulations to take effect Instead we actively pursue knowledge prepare ourselves for future legislation and already address the existing commercial and certification obstacles Our aim is to pave the way and be prepared for a greener future through proactive action mainly towards our client in order to help them add value to their project Within BESIX we have the opportunity to make an environmental impact that goes beyond what any of us could achieve individually To raise awareness I often cite that 1 m concrete has an equal footprint to driving 2 500 km with your car A small optimisation in design quantity or waste management does really make the difference By integrating CO2 as a design parameter the Engineering

Inside Magazine 117 Inside Magazine 117 INSIGHT F Bribosia I Buysse EMBRACING THE RIGHT TO DISCONNECT WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT MATTERS Here at BESIX Group we have always been committed to our employees well being For years we have prioritised flexible work arrangements fitness activities medical support and more Today we are exploring a topic that s become incredibly relevant in our always on digital world the right to disconnect Over the years we have collaborated with our social partners to develop a clear understanding of this concept As a result BESIX Group recently entered into a collective agreement with the European Works Council The right to disconnect refers to our employees freedom to disengage from work related communications outside of their standard working hours unless it is an emergency or a part of their job requirements without any repercussions on our trust in them Geert Aelbrecht Chief People Officer shares Work related communications whether they are emails phone calls or messages via text or WhatsApp can sometimes be overwhelming They can disrupt our worklife balance particularly in a vast organisation like ours with colleagues operating across different time zones We recognise the significance of maintaining a healthy work life balance and are committed to promoting this for all our team members The right to disconnect aims to cultivate this balance mitigating the negative impacts of workrelated stress and burnout This being said the right to disconnect is not an obligation Our workplace has become increasingly flexible largely due to practices like teleworking As such we permit our employees to connect at times that best suit their schedules and work styles We are confident that our shared enthusiasm for our projects coupled with our daily commitment will strike the ideal balance To wrap up it is important to underscore the value of time off It is vital for maintaining a healthy work life balance and can rejuvenate us leaving us ready to embrace new challenges As Geert puts it If establishing the right to disconnect rules means reinforcing that it s okay to be offline after office hours we ve made another stride in our mission to enhance the well being of our colleagues TIME FOR A CHANGE Has it always been your dream to work on an international project Or are you interested to dive into another entity s business Then we only have one thing to say do it BESIX Group strongly believes in internal mobility 32 We stimulate any kind of movement of talents within our group whether it is laterally or vertically So if

involves two BESIX volunteers visiting classrooms for a morning to introduce schoolchildren to the ins and outs of the construction world The sessions centred around a BESIX patented boardgame Construction Heroes are a huge success Kids and teachers love them and schools are very eager to introduce this new way of teaching about our trade BESIX Foundation is constantly looking for employees whether they have technical expertise or not who are willing to give some of their time to animate these sessions targeting youngsters in schools exercising positive discrimination to foster greater equality between children So far 18 KiddyBuild in class sessions were organised with 323 children from Frenchspeaking and Dutch speaking primary schools BESIX Foundation has also recently held its
