The ratio of new contracts to sales revenue was also lower than expected as a result of the sluggish Baltic construction market in regard to buildings and infrastructure contracted for by the state – a trend that has lasted a couple of years now. The drop in the share of sales revenue from construction services in Latvia and Lithuania was as expected, as several large projects were completed last year in Latvia and the work volumes are lower this year.
Samuti jäi uute lepingute osakaal müügitulus oodatust väiksemaks tulenevalt Baltikumi ehitusturu madalseisust uute riigi poolt tellitavate hoonete ja infraehituse tellimuste osas, mis on kestnud juba paar aastat. Läti ja Leedu ehitusteenuste müügitulu osakaalu vähenemine esimesel poolaastal on olnud ootuspärane, kuna eeskätt Lätis valmis eelmisel aastal mitu suurt objekti ning tööde mahud on tänavu väiksemad.
