It has 12,057,470 shares at a par value of E£10 (US$1.81/€1.24). The company’s market capitalisation amounts to E£752.4m  (US$136.2m/€93.2m).

The comparative year-ago results were irrelevant due to the merger of Alexandria Cement with local cement producer company Blue Circle Egypt.

With one production line, the company produces 1.25Mta of cement.
