Presentation to the analysts and investors - Lafarge

10
Summary
� Macroeconomic forces, primarily financing constraints, are
creating significant business uncertainties across our industry.
As a result, most producers are curtailing current production
and slowing cement capacity additions around the world
� Most markets should still show increases in cement consumption
in 2009 and 2010
� There might be some local supply-demand imbalances, depending
on the speed of implementation of the economic stimulus
packages already announced by most governments and on the
ability of the cement industry to adjust production to demand
� The cement industry already experienced such local imbalances in
the past, without Lafarge being severely hurt. The size and
geographical spread of our portfolio of assets as well as our
successful cement / ReadyMix product differentiation policy of the
last years should give Lafarge enough flexibility to mitigate the
impacts of these potential local imbalances on our earnings
