Directors report
Following the adoption by the European Union of Regulation no. 1606 of 2002, Italcementi
consolidated financial statements for 2011, and the comparatives for 2010, have been
drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
In accordance with the aforementioned Regulation, the principles to be adopted do not
include the standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC) at December 31, 2011, but not endorsed by the European Union at that
date. Furthermore, the European Union has endorsed additional standards/interpretations
that Italcementi S.p.A. will apply at a subsequent time, having decided not to elect earlyapplication.
The main changes with respect to the financial statements at December 31, 2010, are set
out in detail in the notes, in the section Statement of compliance with the IFRS.
With regard to the scope of consolidation, the Calcestruzzi group has been
consolidated (on a line-by-line basis) as from January 1, 2011, while the Group operations
in Turkey headed by Set Groupwere deemed available-for-sale (application of IFRS 5) as
from the beginning of the year and subsequently sold at the end of March. In compliance
with IFRS 5the gains or losses relating to discontinued operations have been presented
as a separate item on the income statement both for the period under examination and for
2010. A similar presentation has been adopted for cash flows. In December, Axim-branded
cement and concrete additives operations in Italy, France, USA, Canada, Morocco andSpain were sold. Full details about the changes in the scope of consolidation are provided
in the notes (note 3).
Earnings indicators
To assist comprehension of its financial data, the Group employs a number of widely used
indicators, which are not contemplated by the IFRS.
Specifically, the income statement presents the following intermediate results / indicators:
recurring EBITDA, EBITDA, EBIT, computed as the sum of the preceding items. On the
face of the statement of financial position, similar considerations apply to net debt, whose
components are detailed in the specific section of the notes.
Since the indicators employed by the Group are not envisaged by the IFRS, their
definitions may not coincide with and therefore not be comparable to those adopted by
other companies/groups.
This report contains many financial and non-financial earnings indicators, including those
mentioned above. The financial indicators, taken from the financial statements, are used in
the tables summarizing the Groups financial performance, in relation to comparative
amounts and other amounts from the same period (e.g., change in revenue, recurring
EBITDA and EBIT with respect to the previous year, and change in their return on
revenue). The use of amounts not directly apparent from the financial statements (e.g., the
exchange-rate effect on revenue and on earnings) and the presentation of comments and
assessments assist qualification of the trends in the amounts concerned.

8/11/2019 Italcementi ANNUALREPORT
31/325
The directors report also provides a series of financial ratios (gearing, leverage, coverage)that are clearly of importance for a better understanding of Group performance, especially
in comparison with previous periods. The non-financial indicators refer to external and
internal elements: the general economic situation and the situation of the industry in which
the Group operates, trends on the various markets and lines of business, trends in sales

Results and significant events for the year
Results
Inevitably, the Groups results were affected by the continuing difficulties in the international
economic scenario in 2011.
Sales volumes, on a like-for-like basis, were down in aggregates and cement, but grew
slightly in ready mixed concrete.
Revenue, at 4,720.5 million euro (4,660.0 million euro in 2010), was up 1.3% (-1.3% on a
like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates), largely due to the change in the Groupscope of consolidation.
Recurring EBITDA, at 697.3 million euro (841.7 million euro), was down 17.2%.
After amortization and depreciation charges of 474.8 million euro (461.2 million euro) and
impairment losses of 134.3 million euro (8.0 million euro), EBITwas 129.0 million euro
(370.2 million euro), a reduction of 65.2%.
Profit before tax,at 53.0 million euro (276.5 million euro), was down 80.8%.
After income tax expense of68.8 million euro (60.6 million euro), the loss relating to
continuing operationsamounted to 15.8 million euro (profit of 215.8 million euro in 2010).
Thanks to the net gain of 106.9 million euro from the sale of Set Group, profit for the
periodwas 91.2 million euro (197.1 million euro). The loss attributable to owners of the
parentwas 3.1 million euro (profit of 45.8 million euro), while profit attributable to non-
controlling interests decreased to 94.3 million euro, from 151.3 million euro in 2010.
Net debtatDecember 31, 2011, amounted to 2,093.0 million euro, down by 137.9 million
euro from December 31, 2010 (2,230.9 million euro).
Total equity was 4,894.9 million euro, a decrease of 91.0 million euro from December 31,
2010, while equity attributable to owners of the parent was 3,494.9 million euro, down
by 30.2 million euro from December 31, 2010 (3,525.1 million euro).

The Calcestruzzigroup returned to the scope of consolidation of Italcementi S.p.A. asfrom January 1, 2011. With a ruling on April 20, 2011, the court of Caltanissetta ordered the
full cancellation of the preventive seizure on Calcestruzzi S.p.A. and the restitution of
company assetsto the owners. In May, the Calcestruzzi S.p.A. shareholders approved a
share capital increase from59.2 million euro to 110 million euro, which was
subscribed and simultaneously paid in full by Italcementi S.p.A. for 99.90% and by
SICIL.FIN.S.r.l. (now Italcementi Ingegneria S.r.l.) for 0.10%.
At the end of January, in view of the political unrest in Egypt, the Group suspended local
production operations for about one week.
In March Set Group Holdingwas sold to the Turkish group Limak HoldingandItalgen
Elektrik Uretimwas sold to Enerjisa (a Sabanci-Verbund joint venture).
As a result of the sale on the stock market of the sharesheld in Afyon Cimento Sanayii
Turk A.S., Ciments Franais S.A. reduced its controlling interest from 76.51% to 51.0%. At
the end of June, Mediobanca was engaged as financial advisor for sale of the entire
remaining shareholding in the Turkish company.
In August and September respectively, Moodys Investor Servicesand Standard and
Poors confirmed theirBaa3 and BBB-/A-3 ratings assigned to Italcementi and Ciments
Franais, but downgraded the outlook from stable to negative.
In September, through the Indian company Zuari Cement, the Group acquired from ZuariIndustries a 74% stake in Gulbarga Cement, a company based in the region ofKarnataka, which is planning to build a new cement plant with an annual cement capacityof 3 million metric tons.
Significant events in the fourth quarter are described below, some of which wereillustrated in the quarterly report at September 30, 2011.
In October, Italcementi Finance S.A., the French company that acts as the Groups
treasury vehicle, received Banque de France authorization to launch commercial paper
under a programfor a maximum amount of 800 million euro. The program, with a short-
term Moodys NP rating and Standard & Poors A3 rating, is unconditionally guaranteed by
Italcementi S.p.A..
With regard to action to raise efficiency and optimize facilities, the Group formulated a
series of measures on costs designed to strengthen profit margins. These initiatives
some of which were launched during the fourth quarter of the year will bring benefits in
the order of 160 million euro when fully implemented.
In December, in line with the rating review policy adopted for almost all the major cement
players, Moodys Investor Services downgraded its long-term ratings forItalcementi and
Ciments Franais, and its senior unsecured ratings for Italcementi Finance and Ciments
Franaisto Ba1.
Also in December all operations in the sector of Axim-branded ready mixed concrete and
cement additives were sold to the Swiss group Sika. The operations in question were
organized in six companies with industrial facilities and commercial divisions active in Italy,
France, USA, Canada, Morocco and Spain, with revenue of approximately 61 million euro
in 2010 and 150 employees. The agreement also provides for a strategic partnership in
R&D, sales and marketing and the supply of additives for the Group.

The international economy and industry trendsWorld economic trends in 2011 varied greatly, not only from one region to another, but also
from one quarter to the next. The first half remained lively, but was followed by a
significantly slower second half, due to financial stability risks in some euro zone countries,
the restrictive fiscal policies adopted in most of the euro zone, the more cautious monetary
policies in a number of emerging countries, as well as the geo-political unrest especially in
the Middle East. For the year as a whole, global economic growth, which in 2010 had
returned to more than 5%, was, according to preliminary estimates, once again close to its
long-term values (around 3.5%); the growth rate in the advanced economies (1.6%) was
half that of the previous year.
Raw material prices largely reflected the general cyclical weakening; nevertheless, oilprices displayed a notable resistance to decline, influenced in part by the important
recovery of the dollar. Falls in exchange rates, weak stock markets and tighter capital flows
were the main features of many emerging countries in the last part of the year. Despite
widespread moderation in wages and salaries, in the advanced area inflation rose faster
than expected, due to the previous increases in the basic input prices and the rises in
indirect taxation imposed by fiscal austerity policies.
In the advanced economies, the deterioration in the macroeconomic climate hit the
construction sector in the final phase of the longest recession of the postwar period,
contributing, in many countries, to a further postponement in the upturn. Nevertheless, the
most evident feature was the divergence in the cyclical positions of the countries in which
the Group operates, both emerging and mature. Among the mature countries, there was amoderate construction recovery in France and Belgium, while the southern euro zone
countries reported a further significant fall in activity. The USA was in an intermediate
position, with the recessionary pressures of the last six years probably fading, but signs of
a recovery, even from the very low levels reached, still appearing to be very weak.
In the emerging countries, the economic trends in the construction sector were generally
favorable; in some cases, however, signs of a slowdown emerged as economic policies
paid greater attention to avoiding excessive speculative bubbles in real estate. The Group
results in the area were also critically affected by events relating to the complex political
transition taking place in Egypt, whose influence was also felt in the construction sector.

In cement and clinker, performance in the mature countries slowed, despite the progressreported in France Belgium and North America. In Emerging Europe, North Africa and
Middle East, the growth in Morocco and Bulgaria did not counterbalance the decline in
Egypt. In Asia, the rise in sales volumes in India was not sufficient to cover the contraction
on the other markets, which were also affected by the floods that hit Thailand. Trading
operations also reported a downturn, primarily in intragroup trading.
In aggregates, the growth achieved with respect to the fourth quarter of 2010 arose mainly
from the strong performance in France Belgium, Italy and North America, set against
sharp falls in Greece and Spain.
The small improvement in ready mixed concrete, on a like-for-like basis, arose in part
from the trends already described for aggregates, with increases in France Belgium, Italy
and North America, and falls in Greece and Spain. The sector also reported strongprogress in Morocco and Kuwait, and a significant contraction in Egypt.
Fourth-quarter results
Fourth-quarterrevenue amounted to 1,120.3 million euro (+2.9%), with growth reported in
Central Western Europe as a result of the upward trend in prices and the perimeter effect in
Italy, and in North America, thanks to positive sales volumes. Conversely, a decline was
reported on the emerging markets as a whole, penalized chiefly by Egypt and Thailand,
despite the progress in Morocco and India. On a like-for-like basis and at constant
exchange rates, revenue would have been 1.7% down from the fourth quarter of 2010.
Recurring EBITDA, at 133.4 million euro, was down 24.6% from the year-earlier quarter.EBIT was negative at 107.3 million euro, compared with positive EBIT of 54.1 million euro
in the year-earlier fourth quarter. The downturn arose mainly from significant impairment
losses (134.4 million euro) on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and
goodwill, compared with 7.4 million euro in the year-earlier quarter.
As a result of these impairment losses, a loss of 121.6 million euro was posted for the
fourth quarter (profit of 63.6 million euro in the fourth quarter of 2010).
Full-year sales volumes and internal transfers
As noted in the remarks on the fourth quarter, the figures and changes in full-year volumes
do not include Set Group operations, but reflect the re-inclusion of the Calcestruzzi group in
the scope of consolidation.

In cement and clinker, there was a mild slackening in the mature countries, arising from
progress in France Belgium and North America, offset by downturns in Italy, Greece and
Spain. The small improvement in Asia was driven by India, while Thailand was stable
(penalized in the fourth quarter as mentioned above) and the other countries slowed. TheEmerging Europe, North Africa and Middle East area was influenced above all by the
decline in Egypt, countered only in part by the healthy trend in Morocco. A reduction in
sales volumes was reported for Trading, mainly on intragroup trading.
The decline in aggregates, at constant size, stemmed from the general reduction in sales
volumes in Central Western Europe (where only France Belgium reported growth) and in
Morocco. The downturn was contained in part by the progress in North America.
In ready mixed concrete, on a like-for-like basis, there was a small improvement. The
healthy performance in France Belgium, Morocco and Kuwait more than made up for the
decline in other markets.

Revenue Recurring EBITDA EBITDA EBIT
The 1.3% increase in revenuefrom 2010 arose from the business slowdown (-1.3%) and
negative exchange-rate effect (-2.2%), countered by a material consolidation effect
(+4.8%).
A factor in revenue performance was the fall in sales volumes, countered in part by a
favorable sales prices trend in some countries, notably India, Italy, Thailand and Morocco.
At constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation, the mature countries reported an
improvement, thanks to France Belgium and North America.
The negative exchange-rate effect arose chiefly from the depreciation of the Egyptian
pound, US dollar and rupee against the euro.
36

8/11/2019 Italcementi ANNUALREPORT
39/325
The operating performance was supported by industrial efficiency and growing profitmargins in Italy, but adversely affected by events on the Egyptian market, the consolidation
of the Calcestruzzi group and, at EBIT level, by heavy impairment losses. Compounding
this complex situation were higher energy costs and the depreciation of some currencies
against the euro, while a positive contribution came from CO2emission rights and the
valorization of energy efficiency credits for a total of 87.6 million euro (55.2 million euro in
2010).
Recurring EBITDA was 697.3 million euro, down 17.2% from 2010. After net non-recurring
income of 40.7 million euro (net expense of 2.3 million euro in 2010), EBITDA was 738.1
million euro, a decrease of 12.1% from 2010. The non-recurring items were net gains from
the sale of assets (66.3 million euro) and net expense for corporate restructurings (25.6
million euro), mainly in Italy.After amortization and depreciation of 474.8 million euro (461.2 million euro) and
impairment losses of 134.3 million euro (8 million euro), EBITwas 129.0 million euro, down
65.2% from 2010. Impairment losses related to goodwill (82.6 million euro), property, plant
and equipment (36.6 million euro) and intangible assets (15.1 million euro); details are
provided in the notes. Impairment losses on goodwill referred to non-recent acquisitions in
Spain, Greece and Italy, the countries most affected by the market crisis.
Among the individual countries, the most significant progress in recurring EBITDA was
reported in Morocco, India, Thailand, while by far the largest reduction was in Egypt.
Finance costs and other itemsIn 2011 net interest expense on net debt decreased to 85.4 million euro (90.4 million euro
in 2010) as described in notes (note 30).
Overall, finance costs net of finance income rose from 89.8 million euro to 102.1 million
euro (+13.7%).
The trend was also due to net exchange rate losses of 10.6 million euro (gains of 8.4
million euro in 2010), with a negative increase of 19.0 million euro from 2010, and to net
derivatives for hedges on CO2emission rights and Certified Emission Reductions (CERs),
with a negative effect of 6.5 million euro.
The share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investees, 18.6 million euro, was up from
2010 (17.1 million euro).Reversal ofimpairment losses on financial assetsamounted to 7.5 million euro (losses
of 21.0 million euro in 2010). This arose as a result of the reversal, in the 2011 income
statement after the consolidation of the Calcestruzzi group as from January 1, 2011, of the
impairment loss on the Calcestruzzi group posted in the fair value reserve on December
31, 2010.
Profit for the period
Profit before tax was 53.0 million euro, down by 80.8% from 2010 (276.5 million euro).
Income tax expense, at 68.8 million euro, was up 13.5% from 2010 (60.6 million euro),
largely as a result of the income contribution of countries with higher tax rates, non-deductible expense and the change in the tax rate in Egypt, which was increased to 25% at
the end of June 2011 from the previous rate of 20%.

Theloss relating to continuing operations came to15.8 million euro (a profit of 215.8million euro in 2010).
The net gain of 106.9 million euro from the sale of Set Group generated a profit for the
period of 91.2 million euro (197.1 million euro), with a loss attributable to the owners of
the parent of 3.1 million euro (profit of 45.8 million euro) and a profit attributable to non-
controlling interests of 94.3 million euro (151.3 million euro).
Total comprehensive income
Starting from the profit for the period, the comprehensive income for 2011 showed a
negative balance of 57.9 million euro (a positive balance of 223.9 million euro in 2010)
