Building & Infrastructure Conference

London – 6 October 2015

Executive summary H1 2015

Volumes

  • Cement up 1.5% in Q2 and 1.6% YTD, thanks mainly to scope changes (Korkino). Ready-mix concrete down 3.8% YTD
  • Italy: slight increase in Q2 (cement +2.5%), with negative domestic shipments (-8.0%) and positive export and clinker; cement close to previous year's level YTD (+0.5%) and ready-mix concrete gaining some momentum (+5.3%)
  • United States: progress in Q2 (cement +3.9%), despite adverse weather conditions in Texas, and ahead of last year at end of period (cement +2.8%)
  • Central Europe: lower sales in Q2 (cement -4.7%) and YTD (cement -5.4%; ready-mix concrete -6.4%), penalized by difficult comparison against weather-supported H1 2014
  • Eastern Europe: poor results in Q2 (lfl -6.8%) particularly in Russia (lfl -20.1%) and Ukraine (-9.9%). For the 6 months period, Czech Republic and mainly Poland show a favorable variance
  • Prices
  • Sound increase in USA and Ukraine (local currency); no variance in Germany and Russia; marginal weakness in Luxembourg and Czech Republic; prices dropping in Italy and Poland
  • Foreign Exchange
  • Positive impact on sales (€m 43.7) and Ebitda (€m 10.5), due to stronger dollar offsetting a much weaker ruble and hryvnia
  • Costs
  • High inflation in Ukraine, but elsewhere energy commodities and fuel are trending lower
  • Results
  • Revenues at €m 1,238.2 versus €m 1,180.7 (+4.9%)
  • EBITDA at €m 166.6 (recurring €m 165.2) versus €m 138.5 (recurring €m 145.4)
  • Fine tuning of the outlook for financial year 2015
