EBITDA                                 -  9          0       -  9
EBIT (operating result)                - 40       - 33       -  7
Result before income taxes             - 46       - 45       -  1
Result after income taxes              - 35       - 32       -  3

In the first quarter 2013 the harsh winter led to significant volume
declines. Exceptions were Russia and the USA: In the USA volume remained
almost stable, and in Russia volume increased in the first quarter 2013.
Group sales declined by 11%.

Group EBITDA decreased by a total of EUR 9 million. This includes negative
one-time effects of EUR 2 million. The remaining decrease of EUR 7 million
mainly resulted from weather conditions. Depreciation and amortization
declined by EUR 2 million, therefore, EBIT decreased by EUR 7 million. Net
investment income and net interest improved. There was no change in other
financial results. The result before income taxes therefore only fell by
EUR 1 million. The result after income taxes was EUR -35 million.

For fiscal year 2013, Dyckerhoff expects Group sales and EBITDA to remain
at a similar level to 2012. This is based on the assumption that the
weather-related volume decreases of the first quarter can be caught up.
Results before and after taxes will show a positive development as a result
of the nonrecurrence of the extraordinary write-downs of 2012.

The complete Interim Report will be released on May 3, 2013 at noon.
