Ferrovial, S.A. Directors’ report at 31 December 2011 2

Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails. I. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE IN 2011

1. OVERVIEW

Net profit totalled EUR 1,269 million, including a gain on the sale of BAA (EUR 847 million).

CASH FLOW (excluding infrastructure projects) Strong operating cash flow generation (EUR 1,446 million), thanks to the combination of positive business operating cash flow generation (EUR 578 million) and the disposals made during the year (EUR 1,264 million partly offset by investment of EUR 328 million). Dividend payments reached EUR 367 million.

In December 2011 the net cash position (NCP) excluding infrastructure projects reached EUR 907 million (vs. EUR 31 million in December 2010).

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE The two main infrastructure assets, Heathrow and 407ETR (accounted for using the equity method), continue to show their strength, the proof of which is the major growth in EBITDA (LHR +18.7%; 407ETR +10.6%, in local currency). The increase in charges, the evolution of traffic and cost control have favoured this positive performance.

In the other businesses, of particular note is the positive performance of Budimex, with major growth in operating aggregates. The international Construction backlog continues to grow (+5.5% excluding the exchange rate effect), with the growth at Budimex (+24%) and Webber (+5%) especially noteworthy. Services also performed positively.

DISPOSALS Ferrovial sold 5.88% of FGP Topco Ltd. (parent of BAA) for GBP 280 million (EUR 326 million). Considering the transaction price, the value of all the shares of BAA would be GBP 4,762 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of EUR 847 million.

In the first quarter the sales of Swissport (EUR 695 million) and the investment in the M-45 toll road (EUR 68 million) were completed, giving rise to gains in value of EUR 195 million and EUR 27 million, respectively.

In 2011 collection of the outstanding 40% on the sale of the Chilean toll roads was completed almost one year ahead of schedule.

CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION The sale of 5.88% of BAA entailed its exclusion from consolidation, since it changed from being fully consolidated to being accounted for using the equity method. BAA is considered to be a discontinued operation in both 2011 and 2010.

RATING The financial rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Fitch issued for the first time their opinion on the financial rating of Ferrovial, which in both cases was in the category of “investment grade”, with rating of BBB- stable outlook.

FINANCING In April Ferrovial refinanced its gross corporate borrowings (EUR 1,805 million), through the repayment of EUR 491 million and the refinancing of EUR 1,314 million. In July an additional EUR 300 million was repaid early. Autopista del Sol (AUSOL) refinanced its debt (EUR 492 million) for a period of five years. BAA performed three bond issues in 2011, amounting to approximately GBP 1,500 million, including the first issue denominated in US dollars.

2. TOLL ROADS

Positive performance of the main income statement aggregates on a like-for-like basis; sales +4.6%, EBITDA +14.4% and EBIT +38.8%, from a combination of negative performance of traffic, increases in charges and the inclusion of the traffic-shortfall compensation accounts relating to the Radial 4 (R4) and Ocaña-La Roda (OLR) radial toll roads.

In 2010 Ferrovial sold 10% of the share capital of the 407ETR toll road, thereby leaving Ferrovial with an ownership interest of 43% in the aforementioned toll road and, therefore, it began to be accounted for using the equity method from the fourth quarter of 2010 onwards. 60% of the investment in the Chilean toll roads was also disposed of. These changes in the scope of consolidation had a significant effect on the change in the income statement. The comparable change is included to facilitate a comparison between the two years.

CHANGES IN TRAFFIC Spain: there is a notable fall in the traffic on the corridors, due the stagnation of the Spanish economy and the significant increase in the price of petrol. Toll roads performed negatively, mainly as a result of the improvement in the traffic conditions of cost-free alternatives due to a fall in the volume of vehicles, greater reticence to pay tolls because of the economic crisis and the decrease in the maximum speed to 110 km/h (legislation in force from 7 March to 30 June).

North America: decrease in traffic caused by weak economic recovery and the increase in the price of petrol.

The negative evolution of the Chicago Skyway (-6.5%) persisted; toll road traffic continues to be affected by the availability of capacity through the corridor, which has insufficient levels of congestion.

In Indiana there was a positive change in traffic in the last quarter, the cumulative total for the year (-2.8%) evidences the effects on journeys made by light vehicles as a result of the weak economic situation and the high price of petrol.

Portugal: negative changes on the Algarve, which became an actual toll paying road in December, leading to a substantial fall in traffic in the last quarter 2011, which is when the toll gates began to be installed.

In relation to Norte Litoral, traffic is still affected by the commencement on 15 October 2010 of an actual toll arrangement.

Ireland: the M3 opened to traffic on 4 June 2010. In like-for-like terms (June-December), traffic grew by 12.2%.

CHARGES 2011 In Spain, in 2011 charges increased by 1.5%, except for Autema which increased charges by 3.4%.

In the US, the ITR toll road increased charges by 1.4% on the barrier stretch and by 3.4% on the ticket stretch. Chicago skyway increased charges in 2011 by an average of 21.4%.

INCOME STATEMENT The changes in the year were affected by the positive performance of revenue (+4.6% on a like-for-like basis), despite the decrease in traffic, due mainly to the recognition of the traffic-shortfall compensation accounts for the Spanish R4 and OLR toll roads for 2009 and the increase in charges (Chicago).

The major improvement in EBITDA (+14.4% on a like-for-like basis), was due mainly to the recognition of the traffic-shortfall compensation account for the R4 and OLR, and the change in the Norte Litoral arrangement (changing from an intangible asset to a financial asset model).

FINANCING AUSOL: on 17 June 2011, the refinancing of its debt was completed (EUR 492 million) with a bank syndicate (21 banks). Maturity was set at five years.

R4: on 27 July 2011, the financing granted to Inversora de Autopistas del Sur, S.L. in relation to the Radial 4 toll road matured. The banks entered into a standstill agreement with the concession operator until 27 February.

CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION 407ETR and the Chilean toll roads were excluded from consolidated in the last quarter of 2010, once the sale processes had been completed (10% 407ETR and 60% Chilean toll roads). Until that time these toll roads had been fully consolidated. 407ETR began to be accounted for using the equity method. These effects are eliminated in a like-for-like comparison.

In June 2010 the M-3 toll road in Ireland came into service.

On 21 July 2010, an agreement was entered into to sell the ownership interest in the share capital of the M45 toll road (50%) to FINAVIAS –an investment vehicle of the infrastructure funds of AXA Private Equity. The amount of the transaction, completed on 20 January 2011, totals EUR 68.3 million and gave rise to a post-tax gain of EUR 27 million.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT MATTERS

Spanish State Aid Plan for Toll Roads

On 31 December 2010, a plan was published in the Spanish Official State Gazette (BOE) to provide aid to certain toll roads, including OLR and R4. The aid package consists of the contribution by the Ministry of an amount equal to the difference between the toll revenue that would have been earned had 80% of the traffic projected in the tender specifications been reached and the toll revenue arising from actual traffic, provided that the aid does not exceed the actual revenue for the year.

The income statement includes the revenue relating to this traffic-shortfall compensation account for the two toll roads.

RADIAL 4: restoration of the financial equilibrium of the concession due to the increased cost of the construction project

On 30 June amendments to the concession arrangement were published in the BOE, compensating for the additional costs incurred in the construction work. An increase of 1.95% in toll charges was established, cumulative from 2012 until the year in which the cost overrun has been fully offset.

Differentiation between financial assets and intangible assets

Under IFRIC 12, concession arrangements may be classified into two types: intangible assets or financial assets. The concessions with a mechanism guaranteeing revenue are treated as financial assets and, therefore, they do not bear any demand risk. In the case of Cintra, the concessions treated as financial assets are as follows: Autema, Norte Litoral and M-3. For comparison purposes, the change in classification of Norte Litoral must be taken into account. In the case of the Norte Litoral toll road, the classification as a financial asset was due to the change in the terms and conditions of the arrangement, which saw it change from a shadow toll to a payment for availability arrangement.

TENDERS Despite the uncertainty of the financial markets, a slight upturn can be seen in the development activity of the government bodies in certain of the international markets targeted by Ferrovial.

North America: various projects are being assessed in both the US and Canada. Infrastructure Ontario should announce the winning consortium of the East Extension –a continuation of the 407ETR- in the first quarter of 2012.

In addition, the provisional agreement entered into with 407ETR to carry out tolling/back-office services was announced, thereby capitalising on the synergies existing between the 407ETR and the future East Extension (use of the same transponder, issue of a single invoice, a single payment system and a joint Customer Service system), which will lead to greater benefits to the customer.

Spain: the Extraordinary Infrastructure Plan announced by the government is being analysed (availability payments), in addition to the toll road projects under availability arrangements of the various autonomous communities. Cintra was the successful bidder for a project in January 2012 (Almanzora toll road).

In the most developed Latin American markets green-field toll road projects are being studied.

After Ferrovial sold 10% of 407ETR in 2010, the toll road began to be accounted for using the equity method, based on the percentage of ownership held by Ferrovial (43%). 407ETR contributed EUR 27.1 million to Ferrovial’s result of companies accounted for using the equity method, after the annual amortisation charge relating to the intangible asset that arose after the sale of 10% performed in 2010, which is being amortised over the life of the asset.

Traffic

The change in traffic (-0.5%) was affected by various events such as the increase in the price of fuel, together with adverse weather conditions and the completion of the improvement works on alternative roads in 2011. On 30 June the toll road set a new all-time high for daily traffic, achieving on that day 460,293 journeys.

In 2011 407ETR paid dividends amounting to CAD 460 million, including an extraordinary dividend of CAD 110 million (CAD 300 million in 2010).

Financing

In November 407ETR issued senior bonds amounting to CAD 350 million, maturing in 2041 and with a coupon rate of 4.45%.

This issue was used to repay the bond issue of CAD 300 million maturing in 2012.

Backlog 12,424.7 12,378.0 0.4

The changes with respect to 2010 were affected by the exclusion from the scope of consolidation of Swissport.

On a like-for-like basis, the Services Division account shows consistent growth in sales +9.4%, EBITDA +4.9% and EBIT of +3.3%.

This positive performance is due primarily to organic growth as a result of the entry into service of new contracts, and of control of operating expenses. An example of the new contracts that have come into service in 2012 are the waste treatment plant in Catalonia, new stretches of the A2 corridor, the provision of emergency ambulance services in Madrid, and the maintenance of road infrastructural in the city of Birmingham.

BACKLOG The backlog stands at EUR 12,425 million (+0.4% compared to December 2010), after the inclusion of the new contracts in the UK, such as the prisoner custody and transfer service for a period of seven years (EUR 354 million).

Noteworthy in Spain is the renewal of the contract to collect and treat waste in Murcia for the next 20 years (EUR 951 million), and the renewal of various contracts to maintain council buildings in Madrid (EUR 31 million).

[The backlog at December 2010 was adjusted to include the contracts of companies over which joint control is exercised (50%), which represents an increase of EUR 375 million.]

Positive performance of sales +2.8%, EBITDA +6.0% and EBIT +3.0%, on a like-for-like basis. In the waste collection and treatment business that combines the entry into service of new contracts, there is a fall (-9%) in the volume of tonnes processed and waste collected in certain municipalities. Highly positive performance of infrastructure maintenance as a result of the inclusion of new contracts that offset the abandonment of low-return contracts and the drop in the number of tender processes for road signalling contracts.

Increased billings and the fact that the new contracts are more profitable than the backlog average makes it possible to maintain EBITDA at similar levels to the same period in 2010, thereby offsetting the fall in activity of public-sector customers.

Sales increased on a like-for-like basis (+18.6%), as a result of various contracts becoming operational, of particular note being the maintenance of road infrastructures in the city of Birmingham. New contracts in the areas of railway infrastructure and facility management also contribute a higher level of billings. In pro forma terms, EBITDA increased by 2.8% and EBIT by 3.5%. This positive performance is a result of the contribution of the new contracts discussed earlier and the improved performance of the contract for the maintenance of the London Underground, due to additional costs incurred in 2010. All the foregoing offsets the increased project tendering costs that are still at the early stage of the award process. The earnings of Amey in 2010 included non-recurring surpluses relating to pensions. Excluding these impacts, EBITDA would have grown by 9%. In 2011 Amey incurred costs relating to tenders for new projects, such as those in Sheffield and the Isle of Wight.

SWISSPORT

Sale of Swissport

On 17 February Ferrovial completed the sale of Swissport, a transaction that was made public on 2 November 2010.

The price (equity) of the transaction amounted to CHF 900 million (EUR 695 million at the year-end exchange rate), achieving an enterprise value of CHF 1,210 million (EUR 934 million) and representing a consolidated net gain after tax of EUR 195 million for Ferrovial.

The change in 2012 was affected by the positive performance of the international business, especially at Budimex, in contrast to the decrease in the activity in Spain.

The backlog remained stable with respect to 2010, despite the performance on construction contracts and the major awards made to Budimex and Webber. The international backlog stands at EUR 6,830 million, far higher than the Spanish backlog (EUR 3,168 million).

The positive performance of the international business (sales +7.5%, EBITDA +3.5%) cushioned the poor the performance of the business in Spain (sales -17.2%, EBITDA +5.0%), in like-for-like terms.

Backlog 3,167.5 3,603.6 -12.1

The change during the year was due to the lower volume of building construction executed, both residential and non-residential, and to the decrease in civil engineering work (public-sector tenders fell by 43% in 2011 to stand at the lowest level in the last 12 years). EBITDA increased due to the completion of construction projects, and was not reduced by the commencement of new projects, which traditionally have lower earnings in the initial stages of perfromance. The backlog fell by 12% with respect to December 2010.

The major increase in the international business was sustained as a result of the positive performance of Budimex in the Polish market. The rest of the international business activity was affected by the completion of the construction projects in Ireland and the situation in Greece.

In 2011 the contribution of international sales was 59%. The international backlog continue to grow (+6% excluding the exchange rate effect) and now represents 68% of the division’s total. Growth was due mainly to the award of various contracts to Webber and

Budimex and to the inclusion of projects awarded to the Crossrail consortium in which Ferrovial participates in the UK for EUR 263 million.

Highly significant growth across all operating lines. The growth in the business is due to the major construction projects awarded in 2010 (the A1 and A4 toll roads, Wroclaw station) and as to the better weather conditions with respect to 2010. Budimex completed the acquisition of PNI at the end of 2011, which contributed sales of EUR 12.1 million.

The backlog stands at EUR 1,920 million, with an increase of +24.2% in local currency. It includes the backlog contributed by PNI (EUR 289 million), and equally of note is the increase in contracts for non-residential projects and major civil engineering contracts: Lublin ring road, Augustow ring road, line 9 of the IIawa railway.

The increase in the backlog (4.7% in local currency) is due to the inclusion of the various toll road projects (H-290, SH-99, US-75 and IH-35).

5. AIRPORTS

BAA On 10 October 2011, Ferrovial announced the agreement with two investment vehicles managed by Alinda Capital Partners for the sale of an ownership interest of 5.88% in FGP Topco Ltd. (parent of BAA) for GBP 280 million (EUR 326 million). This transaction was completed on 26 October.

After the sale of the 5.88%, FERROVIAL became the indirect holder of 49.99% of BAA.

The transaction entailed a valuation of 100% of the equity of BAA at GBP 4,762 million.

Performance of traffic

In 2011 traffic increased by +4.4%. The volume in 2010 was affected by the volcanic ash cloud and the strike by BA flight crews.

The growth was mainly driven by Heathrow, which performed positively over the period with record passenger numbers (+5.5%, +1.9% excluding non-recurring effects). From the summer onwards, all-time highs in traffic were achieved every month. A notable feature of this sound performance was the increase in long-haul traffic to North America and Brazil, and the traffic with Europe, where Germany, Switzerland and France were the most popular destinations.

Stansted (-2.8%, -5.0% excluding non-recurring effects) was affected by the strategy of the airlines in relation to their flights to continental Europe. Most of the fall in traffic was seen in domestic flights. In recent months record load factors have been achieved, which augurs well for future performance.

The positive performance of the traffic at the Scottish airports is also worthy of note (+8.1%).

Service quality

Heathrow achieved its best punctuality rate in more than a decade in terms of take-offs with 79% with less than 15 minutes delay (2010: 71%). It also improved its delayed bags ratio to stand at 15/1,000 in 2011 (2010:

18/1,000). As regards queues at security controls, 96.9% of passengers passed through the controls within the established period (2010: 97.5%), 95.0% being the minimum.

All the improvements made to enhance service quality are perceived by the passengers, evidenced in the independent satisfaction surveys which award Heathrow an all-time-high level of passenger satisfaction.

Directors’ report for 2011 and 2010 Ferrovial S.A. and Subsidiaries

Ferrovial, S.A. Directors’ report at 31 December 2011 15

Aeronautics revenue (+13.6%), due to the positive performance of Heathrow: traffic +5.5%, increased charges +12.2% (from 1 April 2011 onwards). The combination of the two factors led to an increase in its aeronautics revenue of 16.0%.

Non-aeronautics revenue (+4.0%). Mainly due to the major increase in retail revenue, especially Heathrow (+10.2%) and the Scottish airports (+6.9%), as a result of improved sales at the duty free shops, luxury shops and car parks.

These factors, together with cost containment, led to a significant increase in EBITDA (+17.8%), with the EBIT margin increasing from 46.0% to 51.0%.

Of particular note was the sound performance of the Scottish airports which witnessed traffic (+8.1%) and EBITDA (+10.4%) growth, with special mention to be made of Edinburgh (traffic +9.2%, EBITDA +14.4%).

Regulatory matters

Competition Commission (CC)

On 19 July 2011, the CC issued its final decision dismissing the allegations of BAA relating to the substantial change in circumstances since the publication of the decision of the Competition Commission in March 2009 and obliged BAA to sell Stansted Airport and, either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

On 7 October, at the request of BAA, the CC resolved to amend the order in which the airports were to be sold, with the sale of a Scottish airport coming before the sale of Stansted.

On 19 October, BAA announced its intention to begin a process to sell Edinburgh airport.

BAA lodged an appeal with the CAT (Competition Appeal Tribunal) against CC’s decision. On 1 February 2012, the CAT dismissed BAA’s appeal.

CAA, extension of the regulatory period

In March 2011 the Government confirmed its intention to amend the legislation on the economic regulation of the airports in the UK. This new legislation is expected to be approved during the parliamentary sessions in 2012.

The CAA deems it appropriate to discuss the new regulatory period for Heathrow once the new airport legislation has been approved and, therefore, CAA announced in March 2011 a one-year extension to the current regulatory period (until March 2014). During this year of extension the prices charged will be calculated using the current formula RPI +7.5%. Heathrow also agreed a maximum investment of GBP 735 million with the airlines (at 2007/08 prices).

OTHER AIRPORTS After the Ferrovial’s sale of 5.88% of BAA in 2011, the latter began to be accounted for using the equity method, based on the percentage of ownership held by Ferrovial (49.99%) and, therefore, BAA contributed losses amounting to EUR 13 million to Ferrovial’s result of companies accounted for using the equity method.

Airport earnings include the gain (EUR 847 million) arising from the sale of 5.88% of BAA and the increase in value of the ownership interest retained (49.99%) under “Discontinued Operations”.

BAA is classified as a discontinued operation, since it meets the requirements of IFRS 5 as control of a major line of business was lost. In order to allow comparison, the 2010 income statement has been restated excluding BAA.

The income statement of airports includes the earnings of the parents of the Airports Division and of the Cerro Moreno airport, which was completed in December 2011.

Depreciation and amortisation

The depreciation and amortisation charge was down on the same period in 2010 (-12.7% on a like-for-like basis) to stand at EUR 192 million. The main reduction was seen at the Toll Road Division, due to the exclusion from consolidation of 407ETR, and at the Services Division.

EBIT (before impairment and non-current asset disposals)

Excluding the impact of the exchange rate and the change in the scope of consolidation, the change would be +17.9%.

Impairment and non-current asset disposals

This heading includes the gains on the disposal of Swissport, which gave rise to a net gain of EUR 195 million and the M45 toll road with a gain of EUR 27 million, both of which were partially offset by the impairment of certain European toll roads.

Financial result

The financial loss fell by 56.9%, due to a combination of various factors such as the change in the scope of consolidation (mainly due to the exclusion from consolidation of the 407ETR toll road) and the positive contribution of the share option plans as a result of the increase in the share price.

The sale of 5.88% of BAA led to this company being accounted for using the equity method from November 2011 onwards.

Directors’ report for 2011 and 2010 Ferrovial S.A. and Subsidiaries

Ferrovial, S.A. Directors’ report at 31 December 2011 22

The companies accounted for using the equity method contributed EUR 17 million (EUR -428 million in the same period of 2010). 2011 includes the contribution of the 407ETR toll road (EUR 27 million) and the loss of BAA. 2010 includes the accounting losses of BAA, 407ETR (two months), the contribution of Tubelines in the Services Division and the contribution of M45 to Toll Roads.

Taxes

Profit before tax, EUR 485 million, includes certain items that are not taxable, such as the profits of companies accounted for using the equity method, since these are net of taxes, and the gain arising on the sale of Swissport (EUR 195 million). After adjusting for these effects, taxable profit stood at EUR 270 million which, after applying the effective tax rate for each of the countries and deducting tax credits, gives rise to an income tax expense of EUR 88 million at an effective tax rate of 33%. It also includes the adjustment of prior years’ deferred tax assets and liabilities and a review of the recovery of tax losses recognised, which had a positive impact of EUR 27 million. All this meant the tax expense for 2011 was EUR 61 million.

Non-controlling interests

This heading amounts to EUR 1.1 million.

Gain arising on exclusion of BAA from consolidation

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 27, the sale of a percentage of an ownership interest in an investee that leads to a loss of control entails the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and the recognition of the consideration received for the percentage sold the remeasurement and the investment retained at its fair value, the difference being a loss or gain to be recognised at the Parent. Based on the foregoing, the Company recognised a gain after tax of EUR 847 million, divided between the gain on the sale of 5.88% of BAA, that amounted to EUR 141.6 million and the increase in the fair value of the ownership interest retained (49.99%), which amounted to EUR 706 million.

Net profit

Net profit in 2011 amounted to EUR 1,269 million, mainly as a result of the disposal of BAA, Swissport (EUR 195 million) and the M45 toll road (EUR 27 million). In 2010 the transaction to sell 10% of 407ETR gave rise to gains (EUR 2,471 million).

CONSOLIDATED NET DEBT

The net cash position excluding infrastructure projects improved by EUR 876 million to leave a net cash position of 907 million. This change is a combination of the disposals in the period amounting to 1,264 million (the sale of 5.88% de BAA, Swissport, the collection of the remaining 40% of the price relating to the Chilean toll roads and M-45), the investments made totalling EUR 328 million, the payment of dividends (EUR 367 million) y and the generation of cash flow (EUR 510 million).

The net debt of projects stands at EUR 6,102 million. The change was due mainly to the exclusion from consolidation of BAA and the investments in infrastructure.

The Group’s net debt stands at EUR 5,171 million.

Refinancing of corporate debt

On 12 April, Ferrovial refinanced its gross corporate debt (EUR 1,805 million), through the repayment of EUR 491 million and the refinancing of EUR 1,314 million.

The refinancing was performed through the arrangement of a syndicated loan with 32 banks (Spanish and foreign), extending maturity until April 2015 (previous maturity 2012). The transaction also included a liquidity line of EUR 541 million, which will not initially be drawn against.

The agreement represents an improvement in borrowing costs (margin of 300 basis points (bps) in 2011 and with a projection of 270 bps for the remaining life of the loan).

In July EUR 300 million were repaid early.

CORPORATE RATING

In August 2011 the financial rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Fitch issued for the first time their opinion on the financial rating of Ferrovial, which in both cases was in the category of “investment grade”:

Disposals in the Services Division include most notably the sale of Swissport (EUR 692 million), and in the Airports Division the sale of 5.88% of BAA for EUR 326 million. A salient event in the Toll Roads Division was the sale of M45 (EUR 68 million) and the collection of the 40% deferred price on the sale of the Chilean toll roads (EUR 157 million).

Equally of note was the payment of interest in the year (EUR -114 million), together with the impact of the exchange rate (EUR -27 million) and other changes in borrowings (not giving rise to cash flows) (EUR -53 million), which include accounting changes in the borrowings that do not affect the cash flows, including most notably the balance of accrued interest payable and the payment of commissions and fees associated with the issue of borrowings.

Lastly, cash flows from financing activities include the exclusion of the borrowings of BAA after the sale of the 5.88% ownership interest for EUR 14,529 million.

CASH FLOWS OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

In 2011 the cash flows from investing activities included most notably the investments in concession assets under construction in the Toll Roads Division, and in particular the toll roads in the US (SH-130, North Tarrant Express and LBJ) and Portugal (Azores toll road).

c) Cash flows from financing activities

Cash flows from financing activities include the payment of dividends and equity reimbursed by concession operators to their shareholders, as well as the disbursements relating to capital increases received by the companies. For the fully consolidated concession operators these amounts correspond to all of the amounts paid and received by the concession operators, irrespective of the percentage of ownership that the Group holds therein. No dividends or equity reimbursement are included for the companies that are accounted for using the equity method.

Interest flows relate to interest paid by the concession operators, plus other fees and commissions and costs closely related to the obtainment of financing. Cash flows in relation to these items correspond to the interest expense for the period and any other item entailing a direct change in net borrowings for the period. This amount does not coincide with the borrowings costs included in the income statement, mainly as a result of the differences between the accrual and payment of interest.

Cash flows from financing activities also include the impact of interest rate fluctuations on borrowings denominated in foreign currency, which in 2011 gave rise to a loss of EUR -97 million, as a consequence of the appreciation of the euro against the US dollar, which had a significant impact on the net debt of the US toll roads.

Lastly, “Other Changes in Borrowings (Not Giving Rise to Cash Flows)” includes items that represent a change in borrowings for accounting purposes that do not affect the actual cash flows, such as accrued interest payable, etc.
