Italian Investment Conference

Executive summary Q1 2018

Volumes

  • Quarter impacted by adverse weather, particularly in the USA, and less working days (2017 Holy Week in April): cement down 1.6% (-6.8% on lfl basis) and ready-mix concrete down 6.3% (-8.1% lfl):
  • Italy: cement well ahead of 2017 thanks to Zillo contribution; ready-mix down
  • United States: cement and ready mix volumes down
  • Central Europe: cement volumes decline in Germany and Luxembourg; ready mix concrete unfavorable in Germany but well ahead in Lux/Ned
  • Eastern Europe: almost flat, with progress realized in the Czech Republic and Russia nearly offsetting the decrease in Poland and Ukraine; good start to the year for ready mix concrete particularly in the Czech Republic and Ukraine

Prices

  • Q1 vs Q1: modest unfavorable variance in the Czech Republic and strengthening in all other markets
  • Q1 18 above Q4 17 in all markets except a marginal weakness in the USA
  • Foreign Exchange
  • Negative impact on sales (€m 36.3) mainly due to weaker dollar
  • Results
  • Net sales at €m 539 (€m 588 in 2017), -5.2% like-for-like
  • Net debt at €m 896 versus €m 863 at year end 2017
  • Outlook confirmed for financial year 2018
