3. Q1 2023 OVERVIEW


Q1 IN BRIEF

Still challenging operating context with negative development of volumes in Q1, in line with generalized slowdown of demand.
Q1 cement and rmx volumes contracted in European markets andUS, while volumes increased in Mexico and Brazil.

Strengthening of selling prices continued in Q1, albeit with varying degrees of intensity. Step up of selling prices in Central Europea, Poland and Czech. Further round up in USA. No significant changes in Italy

Net Sales at 956 €m (+19.5%, +16% lfl), driven by the positive price effect. Favorable fx fluctuations (dollar and ruble) contributed €m 28

Net cash position remained at 279 €m, stable compared to FY22.

Guidance confirmed: 2023 EBITDA should easily match the level achieved in 2022.
