CADC China Advanced Constr Matls Group (MM)

China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADC) ("China ACM"), a leading provider of ready-mix concrete and related technical services in China, today announced that in response to increasing raw material costs, it is raising the average price of its ready-mix concrete (RMC) 25 percent across the range of its C10-C100 concrete sales products.

The Company noted that, in recent months, its fixed RMC plants in the Beijing area have experienced 19.8 percent higher costs for their commodity raw materials including cement and other RMC components such as sand, gravel, mineral powder, slag powder and mineral sand amongst others.

China ACM's Concrete Sales contracts are typically from three to twelve months in duration, averaging four to eight months, and carry fixed RMC pricing. As those contracts are ending, the Company is charging new, higher prices reflecting increased raw material costs. These Concrete Sales contracts contain pass through features for significant raw material price increases.

China ACM is also gaining stronger pricing power due to ongoing industry consolidation and attrition of marginal companies in the Beijing concrete industry. The total number of Beijing area concrete companies was down to 165 at year-end 2009 and is decreasing.

Conversely, at China ACM's portable RMC plants servicing HSR projects, its large contractor clients are responsible for purchasing the raw materials so China ACM is not affected by changing raw material costs.

China ACM provides proprietary and patented premium RMC high performance blends including its patented blend with a 100-year warranty, or double the industry average. It further distinguishes itself by providing its clients with a high degree of project flexibility, responsiveness and unrivalled chemical engineering and related technical consulting services.
