Italcementi Group provided conference call and live webcast of their First quarter 2012 results presentation. A Q&A session followed.
 Click here | For the January-March 2012 period, Group revenue was down on the first quarter of 2011 due to the negative volume effect; this effect – particularly significant in Europe – was counterbalanced in part by a sales prices trend that was positive in Italy and stable in most other countries, with the exception of Egypt. With regard to operating results, the effects of the action underway to contain fixed costs and the greater efficiency achieved mitigated in part the rise in energy costs and the impact of the decline in sales volumes.
