Skanska (STO:SKAB) will reduce order bookings for the fourth quarter of 2010 by USD 63 M, approximately SEK 450 M. The reason is that a customer in California has decided to re-examine its plans for the expansion of a 6,500-square-meter hospital building.
Skanska's original contract totaled USD 73 M and was included in order bookings for the second quarter. Skanska will be fully remunerated for the work executed to date by approximately USD 10 M, about SEK 71 M.
"This is very unusual and an isolated event. We continue to have good relations with the customer and are discussing future potential projects," says Mike McNally, Executive Vice President in Skanska and responsible for the construction businesses in USA.
