May 6 (Reuters) - Heidelberg Materials HEIG.DE, the world's second-largest cement maker, said on Wednesday it expected rising energy costs as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, as it reported first-quarter results in line with expectations and confirmed its outlook for the year.
The company, whose business is among the energy-intense industries, said additional costs are to be partially compensated for by surcharges and price adjustments.
