Impairment of property, plant and equipment:

Assets that have an indefinite useful life (land) are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately in other expenses, for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

During 2013, the Group recorded an amount of €0.6 mil. as impairment of tangible assets. The impairment is related to a cement distribution terminal that was under construction in Florida, USA.

During 2012, the Group recorded a reversal of impairment amounting to €0.9 mil. mainly due to machinery of the Company, as the reasons for such an impairment were changed.
