For the full year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 9%, 3% and 6%, respectively, compared to 2014. Our volume performance both during the fourth quarter and during the year is mainly explained by a tough comparison base in 2014, as well as by our value before volume strategy in the country. During the fourth quarter our prices in local currency increased sequentially by 5 percentage points, and by 18 percentage points compared with the fourth quarter of 2014.

For 2015, our domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes decreased by 9% and 12% respectively, while our aggregates volumes remained flat, compared to 2014. During the year, the negative performance in our volumes is mainly explained by lower sales to the Panama Canal expansion project, the completion of some large infrastructure projects, as well as a slow-down in the process of approval of construction licenses, and in execution of new infrastructure projects. Cement sales to the Panama Canal expansion project declined by 80% and 55% during the quarter and for the full year, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

For the full year our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 7%, 14% and 16%, respectively, compared to 2014. Our cement volumes for the full year 2015 were positive affected by construction of roads, as well as hydroelectric projects like “Chucás”. However, the negative performance in cement volumes during the fourth quarter versus the same quarter in 2014 reflects a decline in dispatches for this sector.

The positive performance in our cement volumes in Nicaragua and ready-mix in Guatemala was offset by weak demand conditions in the other markets, especially by the results in our operations in Brazil. Housing and infrastructure in Nicaragua, along with industrial-and-commercial activity in Guatemala, remained the main drivers of demand for our products.
