Net income for CHP was PHP 205 million for the first quarter of 2021, versus PHP 89 million for the first three months of 2020, mainly due to a 78% decrease in financial expenses, reflecting lower debt levels and declining interest rates.

During the quarter, CHP celebrated the 100-year anniversary of APO Cement Corporation. Ignacio Mijares, President and CEO of CHP, said: “In its century of existence, APO’s milestone is a reminder that institutions outlast challenges through the collective action of its people. We are proud to be a part of APO’s heritage in Cebu, and its long-standing role in nation-building.

CHP, a listed company at the Philippine Stock Exchange, is one of the leading cement producers in the Philippines, based on annual installed capacity.

First Quarter 2021 Update Activity starting to ramp up in 1Q21, following 4Q20 which was adversely affected by several typhoons. During the last two weeks of March, a surge in COVID-19 cases prompted the national government to tighten community quarantine regulations in the National Capital Region and four1 major neighboring provinces. Cement companies are allowed to operate2 with full on-site capacity under the strictest quarantine level. The same applies for companies that manufacture and/or supply equipment or products necessary to perform construction works or maintenance works. Essential and priority construction projects, whether public or private, are also allowed to be undertaken with full on-site capacity, in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Department of Public Works and Highways. 1 Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal 2 Based on Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution No. 106-B Series of 2021 dated March 28, 2021

Domestic cement volumes decreased by 4% year-over-year during the first quarter, amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on economic activity. On a sequential basis, our domestic cement volumes increased by 14%, as the fourth quarter of 2020 was affected by adverse weather conditions. Our domestic cement prices remained flat quarter-on-quarter. Year-over-year, change in our domestic cement prices mainly driven by higher proportion of pick-up sales. Net of freight charges, our domestic cement prices decreased by 1% year-over-year due to subdued activity and competitive market dynamics. As a result of lower volumes and prices, net sales decreased by 8% year-over-year during the first quarter of 2021.

Private Sector Activity in the residential sector was lower year-over-year in 1Q21 with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the project timeline of developers. Average full-time employment was lower in the first two months of the year versus January 2020. Nonetheless, cash remittances and residential real estate prices have remained resilient. The non-residential sector was down in 1Q21 mainly due to limitations in mobility and subdued market confidence. The application of the CREATE law is expected to benefit commercial, office, retail, and industrial activity. Certain developers have also signified higher capital spending for the year amidst an improved outlook for 2021 compared to 2020.

Public Sector Infrastructure disbursements during the first two months of the year increased by 14% year-over-year to Php 107bn owing to payments for projects that were started late last year. The government expects faster spending for the second quarter given the continuation of on-going projects and commencement of other infrastructure projects in the pipeline. Infrastructure formation remains a key pillar of the present administration, and efforts to fast-track projects should assist in job creation.

Slide 9

Total cost of sales was lower by 3% year-over-year during the first quarter, in line with the decrease in our sales volumes. Total fuel cost was 18% lower on a year-over-year basis mainly due to the use of a more cost-efficient fuel mix. Total power cost was 14% higher on a year-over-year basis mainly due to higher electricity rates, and a rebate from the wholesale electricity spot market received in the prior year.

Slide 10

Distribution expenses was 16% of sales during the first quarter, a decrease of 3 pp year-over-year. This was driven by lower delivered volumes and initiatives to increase efficiency. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was flat year-over-year at 14% during the first quarter of 2021. Absolute selling and administrative expenses decreased by 6% year-over-year during the quarter mainly due to lower fees related to royalties, and due to CHP’s Stock Rights Offering, which was concluded during the first quarter of 2020.
