The key result figures of HeidelbergCement for the first quarter 2006 significantly exceed previous years figures.

EUR Turnover 1,744 1,355 Operating income before depreciation 190 85 Operating income 64 ./. 35 Profit 37 ./. 96 The improved figures can be explained amongst others with favourable market conditions in North America, an optimized cost level following first results of the implementation of the "win" project and positive growth in many markets. We therefore expect a significant increase in turnover and results for the entire year.
The interim report for the first quarter 2006 will be released on 4 May 2006.
