Sales boost Italcementi bottom line

Italcementi has posted profits of €187.8million for the first half of the year, up from €81.8million in the same period in 2010 partly due to the sale of assets in Turkey. Sales for the first six months remained relatively stable at €245billion, compared to €2.4billion in 2010. Nonetheless, EBITDA was down 18% on 2010 levels at €372million due to increased energy costs and instability in the Egyptian market following the political issues there.
