Cement sales volumes were down in almost all regions expect in Russia and the US. Dyckerhoff also recorded decreasing sales volumes of ready-mixed concrete and additives.
In the full year 2013, Dyckerhoff is expecting both sales revenues and EBITDA to lag behind the figures of the previous year. Since the group will not suffer extraordinary write-downs as in 2012, however, earnings before and after taxes are forecast to rise compared to 2012.
