Report for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2015

On July 30th 2015, the Board of Directors of Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Ltd approved the financial results of the Group for the first half of the year that ended on June 30th 2015.

Financial results

Revenues for the first half of 2015 reached €45.192.000 with a gross profit of €10.902.000 compared to total revenues of €43.315.000 and a gross profit of €7.590.000 for the corresponding half of 2014.

Both revenues and gross margin increased, improving the profitability of the period. Margin improvement was achieved as a result of cost containments achieved and improvements in pricing which was the result of the strengthening of the US dollar against the Euro. As a result the operating profit for the period reached €6.137.000 compared to €4.488.000 during the respective period of 2014.

The net profit for the first half of 2015 reached €4.676.000 compared to €3.292.000 recorded during the respective period in 2014.

Prospects for the year

The Company will continue pursuing its exports orientated sales strategy; the management is monitoring carefully the market developments in the current uncertain environment, focusing on product quality and production costs.

5. Μain risks and uncertainties

The uncertain economic conditions, the limited availability of financing for individuals and businesses by the banking system in general, energy prices and exchange rates, could affect:

(1) the Group's income,

(2) the ability of the Group's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Group, and

(3) the cash flow forecasts of the Group and the assessment of impairment of other financial and non financial assets.

The uncertainty regarding the course of developments in the markets does not allow a safe prediction for the remaining of the current year, which may affect negatively the future financial performance, cash flows and financial position of the Group. Considering the above uncertainties the Group's Management is taking measures to limit exposure to certain risks and mitigate any possible negative consequences.

Other risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are detailed on note 35 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2014.
