Italcementi Group provided conference call and live webcast of their First quarter 2013 results presentation.
A Q&A session followed.
 Click here | In the January-March 2013 quarter, Group revenue was down on the first quarter of 2012 (-9.3% to 964.8 million euro), largely owing to the decrease in volumes in March despite higher average revenue per unit. With regard to operating results, the effects produced by measures to contain operating expense and the sales price dynamic made up for the impact of the reduction in sales volumes. The absence of income from management of CO2 rights together with higher energy costs in Egypt led to a contraction in results .
