Third quarter 2003

Subdued picture overall for the construction sector on this conti-nent.In Canada, the order situation in the construction sector remained healthy; the weather-related order shortfall at the start of the yearhas not yet been fully offset.In the US, volumes and prices declined in several market re-gions – such as Colorado and the Southeast of the country.

Third quarter 2003

North America: the facts

Efficiency-improvement program set in train by new manage-ment is having a positive effect.The Holly Hill plant successfully commissioned by Holcim US at the end of June will contribute to lowering costs.The weak state of the US market adversely affected theresult of Holcim US.St. Lawrence Cement benefited from the healthy order situation in Canada, though it was unable to fully offset demand-induced setbacks in the Northeast of the US. Together with the sharp fall in the value of the dollar, oper-ating profit for North America was unsatisfactory in overall terms.

Programs to reduce costs accorded top priority.

The Group is strengthening market integration and buildinga new, cross-border cluster .

Strategic transactions strengthen core business

Cement Australia was included in the consolidated accountsfor the first time in the third quarter. It is the market leader on that continent and benefits from optimal distribution channels. The bleak order situation in Germany and Switzerland is resulting in capacity adjustments. The Geisingen plant in southern Germany and Morbio grinding facility in Ticino/ Switzerland are to close. Eternit AG, based in Niederurnen, has been sold and is no longer consolidated. BA Holding AG of Baar is to continue using the Eternit brand name.These transactions will mean a total charge of CHF 40 million to the consolidated accounts for fourth quarter 2003.
