Rome, 9 May 2024 - The Board of Directors of Cementir Holding N.V. today examined and approved the consolidated unaudited results for the first quarter of 2024.

Please note that as of April 2022, the Turkish economy is considered hyperinflationary according to the criteria set out in "IAS 29-Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".

Francesco Caltagirone Jr, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Results for the first quarter of 2024 were in line with our expectations, with sales volumes up but revenues and EBITDA down, compared to the first quarter of 2023. The excellent performance in Türkiye, impacted by the devaluation of the exchange rate against the euro, was not enough to offset the decline in the Nordic & Baltic result. The still weak residential market due to restrictive monetary conditions, adverse weather conditions and fewer working days contributed to the reduction in the results".
