Building Pathways, an organization that creates opportunities for low-income area residents to access and prepare for building trades in the construction industry tours Skanskas 121 Seaport construction site in Boston on May 24, 2017.

Swedish builder Skanska reported on Thursday a decline in third-quarter order intake and confirmed a fall in operating earnings that matched a profit warning issued last month.

Order intake at the Construction division, which books the bulk of group sales, was 30.6 billion Swedish crowns ($3.40 billion) against a year-earlier 34.1 billion.

Skanska on Oct. 19 revealed a new writedown in its troubled U.S. operations which hit third-quarter earnings, sending its shares down.
