In the first half of 2013 Dyckerhoff's cement volumes were below previous
year's level. Cement volumes increased in Russia and USA, they decreased in
all other markets. Concrete as well as sand and gravel volumes were also
below the previous year. Group sales decreased by 6%. Sales declined in the
Germany/Western Europe and Eastern Europe divisions, while in the USA
division they slightly exceeded the previous year.

Group EBITDA declined by EUR 31 million. This includes negative one-time
effects of EUR 4 million, in the previous year positive one-time effects
amounted to EUR 5 million. Depreciation and amortization decreased by EUR 2
million, therefore, EBIT dropped by EUR 29 million. The result before
income taxes fell by EUR 12 million. In consideration of income taxes, this
added up to a result of EUR 7 million.

For fiscal year 2013, Dyckerhoff expects Group sales and EBITDA slightly
below the previous year's level. This is based on the assumption that the
weather-related volume decreases of the first quarter cannot be fully
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 August 1, 2013 at noon.
