Operating results showed healthy progress largely due to the rise in average sales prices,<br />

countered only in part by the increase in the cost of coal (especially in the fourth quarter)<br />

and an unfavorable exchange-rate effect.<br />

Others<br />

In China, the economic growth of <strong>2011</strong> supported the construction sector. <strong>Group</strong> overall<br />

cement and clinker sales volumes, however, fell by 5.2%, due to the entry of new<br />

production capacity. The fall in average sales prices, associated with the negative volume<br />

effect and the rise in fuel costs, generated a sharp reduction in operating results.<br />

In Kazakhstan, despite higher demand, <strong>Group</strong> cement and clinker sales volumes dropped<br />

by 18.8% from 2010. This was due to the distance from the capital city, Astana, where<br />

major infrastructure projects were concentrated, and to the entry of new production<br />

capacity in the south of the country. Despite the healthy sales prices trend, the negative<br />

volume effect and the rise in operating expenses caused a large reduction in operating<br />

results.<br />

<strong>2011</strong> intragroup and third-party cement and clinker sales volumes fell by 27.1%, largely as<br />

a result of performance in the first half of the year.<br />

The sharp fall in sales volumes arose largely in intragroup clinker sales, particularly with<br />

regard to Egypt and Thailand.<br />

Operating results were down on 2010.<br />

Energy project<br />

As reported above, in March Italgen Elektric Uretim, the company that developed the 142.5<br />

MW wind farm project in Balikesir, Turkey, was sold to a third party. The main Italgen<br />

projects in <strong>2011</strong> are described below.<br />

Italy: Guiglia (Modena) – Photovoltaic plant (6 MW)<br />

At the end of July, two months ahead of schedule, work was completed on the photovoltaic<br />

plant in Guiglia (Modena), by the i.Fotoguiglia S.r.l. company owned 30% by Italgen and<br />
