5(32572)$&7,9,7,(6)257+( 48$57(52) Consolidated net profit (attributable to the Group) at the end of the 1 st Quarter was 1.723 million euros, an increase of 94.4% on the 1 st Quarter of 2006. The exceptionally adverse weather conditions experienced during the 1 st Quarter of 2007 in certain African markets (Angola and Mozambique) where the Group is operating affected the rate of construction of important projects. Nevertheless, this did not prevent the Group achieving a level of consolidated operating profit (134.3 million euros) which was broadly similar to that achieved in the same period last year (135.4 million euros). Consolidated profit before financial charges, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), despite the effects of the above events, was 6.639 million euros, slightly higher than the 6.607 million euros obtained in the same quarter of the previous year. The trend in financial results was even more favourable, with a result of -1.778 million euros compared with 3.066 million euros a year ago. This reflects both the more favourable behaviour of the US dollar/euro exchange rate and the reduction in the Group s exposure to that exchange risk. As announced at the time, in January of this year approximately US$ 32 million of Angolan external debt was paid to the Group s construction company, which was used mainly to shorten payment times to suppliers. The rate of award of contracts, despite the depressed climate in the sector s domestic market, continued the favourable trend begun in the 2 nd half of the previous year. Significant projects awarded in the period were: widening of the Águas Santas Maia sub-stretch of the A3, for Brisa; Barreiro Moita waste water treatment station, for Simarsul; the 2 nd phase of the refurbishment of the Eiffel Bridge at Viana do Castelo, for Refer; and water supply works in the municipalities of Valença, Monção and Melgaço, for Águas do Minho e Lima. In the export market, a significant contract won was that for the new Trindade High School in S. Tomé e Príncipe.
In terms of the individual accounts (P.O.C.), Grupo Soares da Costa, SGPS, SA achieved a net profit at the end of the 1 st Quarter of 10.883 million euros as the result of dividends received from its subsidiaries, including notably 9.9 million euros from its construction subholding.
