Investor Roadshow

Frankfurt – 17 November 2015

Executive summary

Volumes

  • Cement up 1.0% in Q3 and 1.3% YTD (-2.6% in Q3 and flat YTD net of Korkino scope change). Ready-mix concrete down 2.3% YTD
  • Italy: unfavorable Q3 (cement -8.4%), affected by weak domestic shipments (-11.8%); YTD cement is lower than previous year (-2.6%) and ready-mix flat (+0.5%)
  • United States: progress maintained in Q3 (cement +3.1%) and YTD (cement +2.9%) with Texas down 1.1% and other regions up 3.9%
  • Central Europe: cement sales in Q3 (-3.9%) and YTD (-4.9%) unable to rebount; ready-mix concrete showing signs of recovery only in the Netherlands (YTD +19.4%)
  • Eastern Europe: poor shipments like-for-like in Q3, mainly due to Russia (-18.5%); favorable YTD variance achieved in Czech Republic and notably in Poland
  • Prices
  • Sound increase in USA and Ukraine (local currency); no variance in Germany; marginal weakness in Luxembourg, Czech Republic and Russia; prices dropping in Poland and Italy, where Q3 showed an energizing effect
  • Foreign Exchange
  • Positive impact on sales (€m 63.7) and Ebitda (€m 20.4), due to stronger dollar offsetting a much weaker ruble and hryvnia
  • Costs
  • High inflation in Ukraine, but elsewhere power and fuel continue to trend lower
  • Results
  • Revenues at €m 1,998.1 versus €m 1,898.7 (+5.2%)
  • EBITDA at €m 352.1 (recurring €m 355.2) versus €m 302.5 (recurring €m 307.2)
  • Outlook unchanged for financial year 2015
