In Kazakhstan, <strong>2012</strong> was another year of strong growth in the construction sector, in part<br />

thanks to government investment programs. <strong>Group</strong> overall sales of cement and clinker<br />

were affected by the presence of new producers and decreased by 7.4% compared with<br />

2011. The increase in average sales prices, tight control over general expense and the<br />

sharp rise (+57.9%) in ready mixed concrete generated an improvement in recurring<br />

EBITDA, despite the fall in cement sales volumes and rise in variable costs.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> intragroup and third-party cement and clinker sales volumes rose by 30.6% from<br />

2011.<br />

The significant increase in volumes was largely due to Interbulk third-party sales, although<br />

intragroup sales also increased.<br />

Operating results were down because of a negative trend in sales prices. In the fourth<br />

quarter results benefited from the effect arising from ready mixed concrete sales to<br />

TASIAT, the company with which an agreement has been signed for the installation of two<br />

ready mixed concrete plants in Mauritania.<br />

Energy<br />

During <strong>2012</strong> the company continued work on the projects launched in previous years and<br />

coordinated management of plants that went into operation. A brief description of initiatives<br />

in the various countries is provided below.<br />

Italy<br />

Regarding revamps of hydroelectric plants, work was completed on the facilities in<br />

Palazzolo sull’Oglio (Brescia) and Borgo San Dalmazzo I Salto and II Salto.<br />

The photovoltaic plant in Guiglia (Modena), owned by i.Fotoguiglia (with Italgen holding<br />

a 30% share) reported total production for the year of 8.8 GWh, with a 99.9% availability<br />

rate. A convention was signed with the Italian Electric System Authority, which assigned the<br />

20-year government incentives as from June 27, 2011.<br />
