LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
1
The performance of the different business areas was also very positive. Thus, the Construction activity, headed by the
company born from the imminent merger of the subsidiary construction companies of both groups, reached an aggregated
sales figure of 5,595 million euros in 2003, 5% more than that of the previous period. This merger has placed us in the
indisputable position of market leader in Spain, not only due to the revenues, but also because of the volume of our order
book which guarantees activity for 18 months in the Spanish market.
Florentino Pérez Rodríguez
ACS Group Chairman
The Industrial Services area, formed by Cobra Group and Dragados Industrial, presented an increase in its aggregated sales
of close to 9%, thanks to the performance of both the national market and the international activities, the latter representing
31% of the total. The pro-forma turnover figure, of 3,069 million euros, led to the consolidation of our position as the
outstanding leader in the development and maintenance of energy, telecommunications and industrial infrastructures in
the Iberian and Latin American markets.
With regards to sales in the Services and Concessions area, through which the Group carries out its environmental activities,
The year 2003 was highlighted by two extraordinary events: the merger of ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios,
S.A., with Grupo Dragados, S.A., which has strengthened our position as a world reference in the infrastructure and services
sector, and the outstanding operative and financial performance of all the areas of the Group.
As you already know, the final merger of the parent companies of both groups took place on December 15. The merger
gave rise to the foremost Spanish Group dedicated to the development, construction, maintenance and operation of
infrastructures which is now among the European leaders in the sector. This merger was the culmination of a process
that started in April of 2002 through the acquisition of 23.5% of Dragados Group, and, after increasing our shareholding
by 10% through a take-over-bid in March of 2003, the merger received practically unanimous support from the respective
Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meetings, both of which took place on October 14, 2003.
The advantages resulting from this merger are now beginning to materialize. Our leadership and competitiveness within
the sector have allowed us to increase our order book to historic levels. As a direct consequence of the integration of
both companies, we are working towards obtaining important cost savings and rationalizing our structure, which, in turn,
is contributing to the increase in profits. It is worth emphasizing the significant revaluation of our shares on the stock
exchange in the last months which is due, in part, to the elevated liquidity of our company with a capitalization of 4,586
million euros at the end of 2003.
More specifically, between April 18, 2002, when we acquired the 23.5% stake in Dragados and the end of 2003, the
share price of ACS showed an increase of 26.8%, versus the negative performance of the principal indexes of reference,
both domestic and international, over the past twenty months.
Without doubt the Group’s economic results for 2003 have contributed to this excellent trend: the figure for consolidated
pro-forma turnover surpassed 10,700 million euros which implies an increase of 7.7% against the previous year, and the
passenger transport, port and logistic services, integrated maintenance and the promotion of concessions for infrastructure
in transport, growth reached nearly 14%, the equivalent of 2,160 million euros. Subsequently, this area strengthened its
position as a field undergoing major development, representing the greatest growth prospects for the Group.
These results are a good starting point that will enable us to face our future; an attractive future in the infrastructure
sector, thanks to the opportunities that are arising both in Spain and on the international markets in which we are active.
Our wide range of products and services that are supported by excellent technical and human resources, our reinforced
competitive position, the solid financial base of our balance sheet, and in particular, our corporate culture based on
leadership, operational efficiency and client service, are sufficient qualities to take on, with guaranteed success, the new
opportunities that will be generated through the consolidation of our merger process.
Special mention needs to be made of the outstanding measures adopted in relation to the corporate governance of the
company, reflected in the transparency, ethical behaviour and rigorous professionalism that have always characterized all the
actions of the ACS Group. Among these measures are the approval of the Rules regarding the Stock Market, the Rules of
the Board of Directors and the proposal of the Rules for the General Shareholders Meeting, all of which are included in the
Annual Report of Corporate Governance recently published, the main contents of which are summarized in this Report.
Before finishing, I would like to mention the recent and dramatic terrorist attacks of March 11 in Madrid which caused such
a great impact in our country, and which our organization suffered directly through the loss of four employees: Cipriano Castillo
Muñoz, Juan Miguel Gracia García, Mª del Carmen López Pardo and Jesús Utrilla Escribano. On behalf of the Board of Directors
and myself, I would like to express our solidarity with, and heartfelt condolences to all their families, relatives and close friends.
Finally, once again, I want to reiterate my most sincere gratitude to our shareholders, clients and employees for the
confidence shown in our Group which we hope to continue to deserve in this new and exciting project.
pro-forma net profit grew by 16.5% accounting for 380 million euros. In addition, the Group obtained a pro-forma gross
profit figure of 932 million euros, 16% more than last year, confirming the Group’s great capacity to create cash flows.
This noteworthy capacity is what has allowed us to continue an active strategy on investments that involved 543 million
euros during 2003. It has also allowed us to maintain the Group’s solid financial base showing a net debt with recourse
with a balance of 914 million euros as of December 31, 2003. This balance was presented after the redemption of 35%
of Dragados capital share, equivalent to more than 1,300 million euros.

giving rise to a reduction of E42.7 million in shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2003.
This amount, which is equivalent to 27% of the Group’s stock market capitalization at 2003 year-end (down 3% on the
same ratio at 2002 year-end), is less than the acquisition cost (E1,318 million) of the shares retired in the merger process.
Of the total net debt, E316 million relate to project financing without recourse for the shareholder and, accordingly,
the ratio of net debt with recourse to consolidated shareholders’ equity at 2003 year-end was 50.8%.
Long-term payables to credit institutions amounted to E612 million, virtually the same as the balance drawn down at
2002 year-end. Short-term payables to credit institutions at 2003 year-end totaled E1,457 million, E431.5 million more
than in 2002. This figure includes the financing of the tender offer launched in March 2003 for 10% of Dragados Group.
The aggregate balance of the “Cash” and “Short-Term Investments” captions amounted to E1,127 million, up 18%
on December 2002, and the balance of treasury stock as of December 31, 2003, was E27 million, relating to the indirect
holding of 902,453 shares owned by Dragados Group at the date of the merger.
1.3.4 Shareholders’ equity
Shareholders’ equity amounted to E1,796 million, virtually the same as the pro forma balance at 2002 year-end.
This figure includes the extraordinary provision for merger expenses, which amounted to E111.5 million after taxes, and

At 2003 year-end the construction backlog amounted to over E7.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%, equivalent
to approximately 17 months of production. The order book for Spain, which accounts for nearly 89% of the total, grew
by almost 7%, whereas the international order book fell by 11%, due mainly to the appreciation of the euro against the
U.S. dollar.
- Control systems achieved only very moderate growth (+1%), since the good performance of traffic control, which reported
a two-digit increase, was mitigated by a reduced contribution of the railroad systems business, which was affected by
the completion of several projects for the installation of high-speed railroad systems.
- The industrial systems area grew at a rate slightly above that of the economy as a whole, albeit with greater consistency
in the Spanish market, which accounts for over 66% of its business.

OUTLOOK FOR 2004
The future prospects for the construction industry continue to be very good, despite the fact that certain signs can be detected
in the data for the last few months that point to a slowdown in the activity of the residential market.
One of the most significant growth factors is the Spanish Government’s National Infrastructures Plan which is valued at
over E100 billion and aims to improve Spain’s infrastructures over the period from 2000 to 2010. This Plan envisages the
development of new road networks and the improvement of those already in service, the expansion of the railroad network,
in particular for high-speed trains, the improvement of the major airports, the modernization of the ports and the performance
of other projects relating to the communication networks in Spain. The Plan will be backed by private-sector players through
the promotion of new financing formulas designed to actively involve them in the management of the projects.
Significant headway is once again being made in the Industrial Services industry in Spain. Particularly worthy of note is the
stability of the more traditional businesses, such as distribution network management or industrial systems, in which the
large energy utilities are outsourcing an increasing number of high value-added services, enabling them to adjust their costs
to an improved service offering. Furthermore, an increasingly important role is being played by certain other activities with
enormous growth potential, such as energy projects and the development of control systems, whereas investments in the
telecommunications industry remain sluggish, despite certain signs of an upswing.
Within the Services area, the Group has numerous opportunities for expansion:
- The Environment industry has enormous growth potential for new businesses as a result of increasingly stringent legislation
and the greater level of concern shown by society. Current industry trends signal an increasing use of technology in waste
treatment and recycling processes, the development of green business activities, an improved management of water
resources and the optimization of industrial processes. In the environmental area, the Group has its own highly-competitive
technology, placing it among the market leaders in the development and management of urban solid waste treatment
and recycling plants, which currently are the most dynamic business areas.

The number of shares traded increased considerably in July, mainly because the proposals for the merger between ACS,
Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A., and Grupo Dragados, S.A. were presented at the beginning of the month. The
high trading volume in this same period was also affected by the sale of 3,203,200 ACS shares by Banco Zaragozano to
Deutsche Bank that subsequently placed them along private investors. In December, there is another considerable increase in
trading volume in comparison to the same month of the previous year due to the increase in capital on December 12 when
ACS shares were exchanged for Grupo Dragados shares. These shares were first traded publicly on December 15.
If the proposal made to the General Shareholders Meeting is approved, the total dividend paid to the shareholder corresponding
to the profits for 2003 will be of 0.82 euros per share and will be distributed in two payments: an interim payment for a gross
amount of 0.36 euros per share made on January 15, 2003, and a complementary dividend of 0.46 euros per share with
payment date on June 7, 2004.
The dividend yield for the shareholder over the price of year-end close for 2003 was 2.11%.

additional criteria determined by the organization with the purpose of achieving maximum client satisfaction.
Each system is based on adequately identifying and managing the relevant processes from a quality control perspective.
The activities carried out by each company of the Group are organized with the objective of reaching the targets set.
The quality control management systems of the ACS Group are based on the UNE-EN ISO 9001:2000 standards that mainly
focus on the creation of value in the activities carried out and to improve our performance. To meet this requirement, procedures
have been established to follow up on client satisfaction and to establish goals and actions taken with the objective of fulfilling
the commitments made.
The management team of each company within the Group is fully implicated in continuous improvement through the Quality
Committee that revises the system periodically to evaluate its efficiency and its compliance with the general policies of the

ANNUAL REPORT
2003
The Nature and the Environment are a shared wealth that should be respected and safeguarded from the harmful influences
of mankind. This principle forms an integral part of all the actions carried out by the ACS Group. To ensure that it is adhered
to, the following environmental policies have been established and are known, shared and put into practice by all the companies
of the Group:
4
SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
These objectives and targets are developed under an Environmental Control Program that can be applied at all of our work
centers.
4.4.2. Involving our Suppliers
Suppliers represent an important group in the development of our activities. It is, therefore, essential that they actively support
ACS Group’s commitment to the environment.
- Commitment to improve and prevent pollution, continuously establishing new procedures and measures to improve our
behavior with respect to the environment.
To ensure that we reach this aim, we have included an environment criterion in the evaluation and selection of our suppliers.
- To use and exploit raw material and natural resources rationally and to optimize these processes.
There is also a specific clause in our standard contract detailing the supplier’s obligations regarding environmental issues.
- To reduce the amount of waste produced by our activities and to handle what is produced correctly and in a way that
Furthermore, these obligations are specified in the Supplier Requirements where issues such as waste control, warehousing
is environmentally respectful.
- To minimize environmental degradation by carefully choosing and managing our building procedures and cooperating
with Public Administrations as well as with our clients.
- To incorporate an environmentally friendly culture in our training programs.
- To propose technical improvements that will reduce the negative impacts on the environment caused by our activities.
- To involve our suppliers in our environment programs.
- To comply with the environmental legislation and any regulation that may affect our Group, as well as those criteria that
the organization subscribes to freely.
4.4.1. Environmental Management System
The Environment Control System used by the companies of the Group is consistent with the requirements laid out in the UNEEN ISO 14001 specifications that call for the development of an Environmental Plan for each work center, whether offices or
jobsites.
Each year environmental objectives and targets are established for the Group in general, taking into consideration global
environmental issues, new legal requirements, the annual revision of our system and the Group’s environmental policy.
conditions for dangerous products and the handling of permits and authorizations are dealt with.
Finally, in the process of evaluating contracts when the work has been completed, the performance of the supplier regarding
the environment is determined by taking the following criteria into consideration:
- Fulfillment of the environmental practices established by the Group.
- Fulfillment of the environmental requirements set out in the contract.
- Absence of problems regarding required permits and authorizations that are the supplier’s responsibility.
- No record of non-conformities regarding the environment as a result of the suppliers’ actions.
4.4.3. Waste Management
We have continued to adequately manage the different types of waste generated at the work centers by adequately separating,
storing and transfering it to duly authorized waste management enterprises.
The actions taken regarding these issues have centered on decreasing the amount of waste generated and using treatment
methods that are more respectful of the environment. Following a hierarchical principle, we prioritize reusing and recycling
against the traditional method of elimination through landfills.
This policy has been relevant in the case of inert waste, especially from construction and demolition work. Procedures for
separating contents of value have been intensified in order to produce “clean rubble” that can be sent to treatment plants
for recycling. Elimination through landfills is only used in those cases where there is no suitable treatment and recycling
infrastructure in the vicinity of the jobsite.
4.4.4. Environment Indicators
The evaluation of environmental behavior is an internal control process which is applied through a series of indicators and offers
information that allows us to compare the evolution of the behavior of the company with respect to the criteria established.
These indicators summarize extensive environmental data into a limited amount of key information that offers a quick evaluation
of the main processes and areas of improvement in the environmental behavior of the Group companies. In this way, we can
make the necessary adjustments to improve our system.
The environmental indicators that will be used by the companies of the ACS Group were recently defined and put into use,
collecting all necessary data for calculation and standardization. The implementation will be applied on four organizational
levels: Group, company, branch office and work center. These indicators provide valuable information that will serve as a basis
for revising the system and for the annual review of our environmental goals.

a) Rules of the Board of Directors
The Rules of the Board of Directors contain several of these mechanisms. Article 13 specifically regulates conflicts of interest,
whereby in virtue of their loyalty as representatives of the Company, the Board members shall avoid any conflict of interest
between themselves and their immediate relatives on the one hand, and the Company on the other and will inform the Board
of Directors of any possible conflict of interest whenever such a conflict cannot be avoided, and this conflict of interest shall be
held directly or indirectly by the members themselves, or by members of their immediate families.
The Board members shall notify the Company of any significant changes in their own professional situation, particularly any
change that affects the status or condition that was taken into account when they were appointed members of the Board. In
addition, they shall inform the Company of any legal or administrative procedure that may have a serious negative effect on
the Company’s reputation.
Board members shall abstain from intervening in deliberations and voting on issues in which they have a special interest. This
will be duly noted in the Minutes.
In addition, article 14 on non-competition and the use of information, establishes that Board members cannot hold, directly
or indirectly, any position in or provide representation for any company or firm that competes with the Company or with any
company within the Group.
Board members cannot use for private purposes in any way, non-public information to which they have had access as a result
of their role as member of the Board. In particular, Board members cannot use for their own personal benefit knowledge on
any commercial operation of which they may have become aware of while acting as Board member.
With the exception of a duly authorized payment in kind, Board members cannot make use of Company assets nor can they
use their position to obtain an increase in their net worth without making the corresponding compensation.

- Definition of the maximum risk limits acceptable for each business area according to the characteristics and expected
profitability.
- Establishment of procedures to identify, approve, analyse, control and inform about the different risks for each business
area.
- Coordination and communication so that the risk policies and procedures within the business areas are consistent with
the Group’s global strategy.
The systems provide the information necessary to supervise and evaluate the risk exposure of each business area as well as
to develop the resulting management information required for making decisions. The control systems developed in each
business area can be classified within the following categories:
to the characteristics of its activities in order to provide the information necessary for the people in charge of the area to
control the risks arising from any possible deviation and to make the appropriate decisions to optimise the management
process.
All the information is kept in a single Economic Information System which allows the consolidated parameters to be supervised

economic situation and potential and assumed risks, this system has become an essential element in the decision making
process.
