Analysis of construction activities*
Order book
At the end of June 2021, the construction activities order book remains at a high level of €33.3 billion and offers good visibility on future activity. This compares to an order book at the end of June 2020 of €35.7 billion. It was down 6%** year-on-year due to a high comparison basis at the end of June 2020 (very low order book consumption due to lockdowns and the winning of several major contracts in the first half of 2020). At the end of June 2021, international business now represents 64% of Bouygues Construction and Colas' order book at the end of June 2021, up by 1 point compared with the end of June 2020.
At Bouygues Construction, the order book stands at €20.96 billion. The latter is down 9%** compared to the end of June 2020 and is at a level comparable to that of the end of June 2019. As a reminder, there is a high comparison basis with the end of June 2020, linked to the recording of the contract for the construction of a section of the HS2 high-speed rail line in the United Kingdom for €1.1 billion.***

Outlook
The Group's financial structure is very robust. On the strength of the results for the first half of 2021, the Group is raising its outlook, in an environment still impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic:
- In 2021, sales and current operating income should be very close to the 2019 level. The current operating margin should return to its pre-crisis level. (Previously, the Group expected sales and earnings to be well above 2020 levels, but not at 2019 levels).
- In 2022, the current operating income should continue to grow and exceed its 2019 level. (Previously, the Group estimated that current operating income in 2022 should return to a level equivalent to or slightly above that of 2019).
