Both third quarter and nine months sales volumes for cement, aggregates and ready-mix concrete increased. Only asphalt declined slightly. Many emerging markets enjoyed brisk construction activity. How ever, in the eurozone and in North America, growth mainly remained restrained. The strong Swiss franc im pacted operating EBITDA by 458 Million Swiss francs. Also, still outstanding sales of CO2 emissions certif icates in Europe compared with the previous year had a negative influence. Costs which could be influenced were nevertheless kept well under control. As per end of September, there was a decline in operating EBIT DA due to above-average inflation for energy, transport and raw materials. These cost increases could, for t he time being, only partially be passed on to sales prices, due to strong competitive pressures in many markets. On a like-for-like basis, operating EBITDA was higher than last year in Latin America and Asia P acific. Europe fared less well, mainly because of still outstanding sales of CO2 certificates. In the US, the ong oing insufficient demand for construction materials and the stabilization of prices at a low level both i mpacted results.

However, there was still a lack of concrete intensive pr ojects. More construction work was ongoing in France, Germany, Switzerland and Russia, primarily in the Gr eater Moscow area. In Group region Europe, Holcim sold more cement and aggregates in the first nine mo nths of 2011, despite the difficult market situation in Spain. Ready-mix concrete deliveries nearly matched the previous year's level. Aggregate Industries UK experienced a decrease in asphalt volumes. The mark et situation remained difficult in Italy and Spain. In Italy there were deconsolidations in the aggregates a nd ready-mix concrete business, while in Spain our Group company decided to close 25 ready-mix concrete plants. In Eastern and Southeastern Europe a few infrastructure projects made a positive impact on d emand. Most Group companies increased their shipments of cement. About a week ago we have increased o ur minority stake in a company in Eastern Slovakia, which owns a cement plant and several aggregates and ready-mix concrete operations, into a majority. This complements our network in this region. Operating EBITDA for Group region Europe decreased. The results were depressed by the weak euro and the s till outstanding sales of CO2 emissions certificates. Many Group companies were only partially able to of fset the rise in energy, distribution and raw material costs with price increases. 2 "': ::::2: ::::2": ::::: ::::: ::::: ::::: ::::7  Higher sales volumes in all segments thanks to US road- building  Full takeover of Lattimore Materials in Texas strengthened sales of aggregates and ready-mix concrete  Holcim Canada felt the decline in construction activity in all relevant markets  Operating EBITDA impacted by increased production costs amid relatively stable prices and expenses incurred by temporary closure of the Catskill plant   ! $ #$  3) There is still a lack of important stimuli in the US construction sector. However, public road-building did create some activity, primarily in the third quarter. Canada's economy developed weakly in those mar kets relevant to us. In August, cement sales by Holcim US exceeded one million tonnes for the first time si nce October 2008. Demand remained generally weak in the southern US states. Aggregate Industries US significantly increased its deliveries of aggregates, ready-mix concrete and asphalt. The full takeover of Lattimore Materials in March of this year strengthened the Group company's market presence in Texa s. On balance, Holcim Canada sold less cement and ready-mix concrete. Volumes increased in the aggregates segment, but there was less demand for high-grade gravel, and prices came under pressure. Operating EBITDA for Group region North America fell. All three Group companies were below the previous yea r's results. Higher energy and distribution costs had a negative impact on the operating result of Holcim US despite the relatively stable level of prices in local currency. Expenses were also incurred for the temp orary closure of the Catskill plant. Due to increased production costs Aggregate Industries US recorded low er results. At Holcim Canada, rising price pressure, particularly in the ready-mix concrete business, and higher cement manufacturing costs had a negative impact on financial results.

Numerous infrastructure projects supported demand for building materials. All Group companies sold more cement and nearly all also increased their sales of aggregates and ready-mix concrete. The Mexican construction sector recovered slightly due to the national infrastructure plan and private house-building activity. Holcim Apasco sold more building materials in all segments. The expansion of grinding capacity at the Nobsa plant allowed Hol cim Colombia to sell more cement. Holcim Ecuador also increased deliveries of construction materials du e to brisk road-building and infrastructure activity. Indeed demand was such that clinker had to be bought in occasionally. Due to the high capacity utilization rate, Holcim Brazil concentrated on sales of higher v alue cement types; deliveries of aggregates and ready-mix concrete remained stable. Argentina's construction sector benefited from public sector investment ahead of the presidential elections. In a difficult compe titive environment, Cemento Polpaico in Chile experienced good volume growth in all segments. As a resul t of rising energy costs, higher distribution costs and the fact that prices could not yet be adjusted everyw here, operating EBITDA declined despite the volume growth. The strong Swiss franc impacted above all on the results of the Group companies in Mexico, Ecuador and Argentina. The Group region nevertheless gr ew organically – on a nine-month basis and in the third quarter. 3 0" 2   7% < .  Solid construction activity in Morocco, Lebanon and some parts of the Indian Ocean region  New competitors depressed cement and aggregate sales at Holcim Morocco  Despite project delays at construction sites in Beirut, Holcim Lebanon sold more cement and ready-mix concrete  Positive volume development in the Indian Ocean region  Operating EBITDA declined primarily due to the currency impact, but was clearly positive in the third quarter =   ! #$  5) In Morocco and Lebanon, the two most important markets for Holcim in this Group region, construc tion activity remained brisk.

Public spending on infrastructure was important, but pri vate residential and commercial construction activity also developed very positively. In Oceania, constructi on activity failed to gain real momentum. Due to additional capacity, ACC in India achieved a significant increase in cement volumes. Ambuja Cements also increased its deliveries. Siam City Cement in Thai land saw a rise in sales in all segments in the growing domestic market, while in Indonesia the construction sector remained on track for dynamic growth due to government infrastructure projects and expansion work i n the industrial sector. Across its whole product range, Holcim Indonesia sold significantly more building ma terials. The Philippine construction sector felt the lack of public sector investment activity. The situation nevert heless improved slightly from August onward. Construction activity in Oceania remained subdued. In Australi a, there was a lack of cement and concrete intensive projects. Road-building in the aftermath of the floods impacted positively on cement demand only from the third quarter. On balance, Cement Australia ther efore sold less cement. Holcim Australia delivered more aggregates on both the east and west coasts. Ope rating EBITDA in Group region Asia Pacific decreased. Stronger results were achieved above all by the Gro up companies in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Like-for-like, ACC exceeded its previous year result. However, it proved impossible to pass on the full impact of inflation to prices. Ce ment Australia incurred one-off costs for the closure of the Kandos plant. The strong Swiss franc depressed the results of all Group companies, and reduced operating EBITDA. Like-for-like, ACC – the biggest Group company – exceeded its previous year result. The Group region also grew in organic terms. 4 +   "' @'  Fund for promotion of innovative approaches to improving energy efficiency set up in 2010  A component of the Group's comprehensive energy strategy  Roughly CHF 100 million at its disposal on annual basis  Emphasis for approved projects:     ' % '  7 % %  %    A  % '   Fund financed by receipts from sale of surplus CO 2 emissions certificates   ! B #$  7) Concrete is a highly energy- and CO2-efficient building material. Globally, it is the second most consumed commodity by volume after water, and vital to a functioning infrastructure. Production of the intermedi ate product cement is, however, energy-intensive – with thermal and electrical energy accounting for approximately 40 percent of the cost of production. In US dollar terms, energy costs have risen by aro und 8 percent per year over the last five years. In addition, CO2 emissions occcur – 60 percent of which are caused by the chemical conversion of stone in the rotary kiln and 40 percent by the use of fossil fuels. Because the European cement industry currently emits less CO2 than it is entitled to, large sums of money are raised each year from the sale of excess emissions certificates. The reasons are well-known: sluggish European growth, but also the industry's ongoing endeavors to boost the energy efficiency of its plant s and reduce the clinker factor in cement. Holcim is known for its leading role in these areas in particular. H olcim could simply record the proceeds – normally some 100 million Swiss francs every year – as income. However, we decided to allocate these sums to an Energy Fund that we launched in 2010. The Fund should help ensure the realization of innovative projects across the Group in the field of heat recovery, the uti lization of alternative fuels and raw materials, as well as wind power and hydroelectricity. The objective is clea r: to save fossil fuel sources and boost energy efficiency, resulting in an improvement in our environmental footprint and a reduction in production costs; this is particularly important against the backdrop of risin g global energy costs. The Energy Fund is an element in the Group's comprehensive strategy for count ering these cost pressures. Holcim has produced a list of criteria for the assessment of projects to be financ ed. The emphasis is on economic efficiency – as investments need to be amortized within around one- third of their lifetime – but also on the potential to reduce CO2 and the possibility of multiplying innovations s peedily and successfully across the Group. The creation of the Fund led to competition between the Group companies to produce the best project proposals, and sparked a whole series of new approaches for sustainable energy projects.

These installations are under construction and will be commissioned between the end of 2011 and 2013. Six projects were approved this year. They include four waste heat recovery units in Canad a, Slovakia, Mexico and India, as well as two installations for the utilization of alternative fuels and raw materials in Germany and France. These facilities will be commissioned in 2013 and 2014. Once co m pleted, these units will produce a cumulative 36 megawatts o f electricity – equivalent to the electricity needs of a very large cement plant. All in all, Holcim will save around 200,000 tonnes of CO2 annually as a resul t of the projects approved to date.

All this is possible without any negative implications for production. The waste h eat recovery power station will utilize waste heat from the pre-heater tower and clinker cooling system. The steam generated is used to drive a turbine, which is coupled to a generator. Commissioning is likely to take place in the third quarter of 2012.

Another innovative pr oject for the more efficient use of alternative fuels and raw materials is being undertaken by Holcim Germa ny at its cement plant in Lägerdorf. The project – being carried out in cooperation with Polysius, a subsidiary of Thyssen Krupp – is at a very advanced stage. The plan is for a multi-stage combustion chamber at the kiln entrance, which – unlike conventional chambers – is able to utilize poorly combustible and bulky alter native fuels. Work on the new plant is scheduled for completion in 2013. Due to the higher proportion of alter native fuels and raw materials in the Lägerdorf facility's energy mix, around 38 000 tonnes of CO2 should be saved annually once it is commissioned. - Cement (mt) 136.7 102.8 108.1 5.2% 0.0% 5.2% - Aggregates (mt) 157.9 118.8 130.4 5.1% 4.7% 9.8% 3 Net sales 21,653 16,568 15,461 5.8% 0.8% -13.3% -6.7% Operating EBITDA 4,513 3,577 2,971 -4.4% 0.2% -12.8% -16.9% Operating profit 2,619 2,178 1,753 -6.4% -0.3% -12.8% -19.5% Net income before minorities 1,621 1 1,223 Net income Holcim shareholders 1,182 1 875 1 1,004 -5.1% -0.2% -12.7% -17.9% 1 713 -6.3% -0.2% -11.9% -18.5% Cash flow 3,659 2,053 930 -47.1% -0.8% -6.8% -54.7% EPS in CHF 3.69 2.73 2.23 -18.3% 1 Includinganon-recurringcash-neutraltaxchargeofUSD171million 6",2"''D7  "'"D    ! #$  10) Sales volume increased in all product segments.
