CHP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

MANILA, PHILIPPINES. JULY 30, 2021 – CEMEX HOLDINGS PHILIPPINES, INC. (“CHP”) (PSE: CHP), announced today that its consolidated net sales increased by 13%, reaching PHP 10.9 billion during the first six months of 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020. Sales increased by 43% year-over-year in the second quarter, amounting to PHP 5.7 billion, reflecting a low comparable base resulting from strict government lockdown last year.

CHP’s domestic cement volumes increased by 16% during the first six months of 2021 versus the same period of last year. For the second quarter, domestic cement volumes increased by 45% year-over-year, supported by a low base effect.

CHP’s domestic cement prices during the first six months of 2021 were 4% lower year-over-year. Net of freight charges, CHP’s domestic cement prices during the first half of the year decreased by 1% year-over-year mainly due to competitive market dynamics and the impact of COVID-19 on business activity.

CHP’s Operating EBITDA for the first six months of 2021 was PHP 2.3 billion, an increase of 26% versus the same period in 2020, mainly due to higher volume.

Operating EBITDA margin was 21% for the first six months of 2021, compared with 19% in the same period of last year.

For the second half of 2021, CHP expects its performance to be affected by seasonality factors resulting from the rainy season, competitive market dynamics, and inflationary cost pressures, while the threat of COVID-19 remains. The government’s public infrastructure spending program should be a key driver of economic activity for the rest of the year.

Net income for CHP was PHP 804 million for the first six months of 2021, versus PHP 135 million for the first half of last year, mainly due to higher operating earnings.

Ignacio Mijares, President and CEO of CHP, said: “Despite the positive developments we have seen during the first six months, we recognize that there will be headwinds during the second half of the year. I am confident in our ability to face these challenges through the commitment, teamwork, and proven resilience of our employees.”

Regarding CHP’s Solid Cement New Line, the works on the different superstructures of the new line and installation of various equipment remained ongoing throughout the second quarter, following strict health and safety protocols during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

CHP now expects the construction of the Solid Cement New Line to be completed in June 2022.

On a year-to-date basis, our domestic cement volumes increased by 16% year-over-year. Our domestic cement prices increased by 2% sequentially, due to price adjustments implemented in 2Q21.

Year-over-year, the change in our domestic cement prices was mainly driven by higher proportion of pick-up sales.

Slide 3

Second Quarter 2021 Update In 2Q21, we saw construction activity benefit from an easing of quarantine restrictions on the construction industry and drier weather conditions. Despite a tightening of lockdown measures in 2Q21, the construction industry was allowed to operate with minimal restrictions, even under the strictest quarantine level. Year-over-year comparison reflects a low base effect due to stringent lockdown measures in 2Q20. Sequentially, despite a surge in COVID-19 cases, 2Q21 saw more favorable weather conditions which allowed construction activity to increase during the summer months of April and May. Solid Cement Plant achieved its all-time record for cement production in a single month in 2Q21. Solid and APO are the only Philippine-based laboratories certified for ISO/IEC 17205:2017 Laboratory Management System by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) of Australia.

Second Quarter 2021 Initiatives CHP’s digitalization efforts recognized recently during the first CEMEX Global Awards. Our Distribution and Institutional commercial teams won first place for “CEMEX Go Top Orders Adoption” in 2020 for the Larger and Smaller Markets categories, respectively. Our Electronic Authority to Withdraw, or eATW, was awarded “Best Initiative Implemented”. The eATW is a digital solution for our customer’s pick-up experience. It automates the process, giving our customers the ability to order and monitor cement pick-ups anytime, anywhere, and from any device. We continue to reach more than 90% adoption among our customers for our CEMEX Go platform, and have achieved more than 90% adoption for our eATW solution. Distribution expenses reflect a sustained level of majority pick-up transactions in all our sites. Maximizing use of secondary and alternative fuels, to reduce dependence on coal.

Slide 7

Sustainability and Climate Action Developing “greener” cement products that will soon be available to the market. Reducing clinker factor with admixtures, alternative raw materials, and by-products of other industries. Contributing to the circular economy through the co-processing of plastics and inorganic waste, via partnerships with private companies and local government units. At CHP, we have been recycling 25 times more waste than we have generated in our operations1. 4.5-megawatt waste-heat-to-energy facility in the pipeline for our APO Cement Plant. This is similar to the 6-megawatt waste-heat facility we have in our Solid Cement Plant. 1 In 2019 and 2020


Slide 8

Second Half 2021 Outlook National weather bureau, PAGASA, announced the start of the rainy season in June. Highly competitive markets should continue with the presence of imported cement in all regions of the country. The threat of COVID-19 remains, with the resurgence of outbreaks around the country, the emergence of more contagious variants, and vaccination efforts in-progress. The government’s public infrastructure spending program is expected to be a key driver of economic activity for the rest of the year. Inflationary pressures to costs persist. Coal prices have reached their highest levels in more than a decade, while supply chain bottlenecks and a weaker foreign exchange rate present additional headwinds.


Slide 9

Domestic cement volumes increased by 45% year-over-year during the second quarter, supported by an easing of quarantine restrictions on our industry and reflecting a low base effect. Sequentially, our domestic cement volumes increased by 7%, as favorable weather conditions aided construction activity during the second quarter. On a year-to-date basis, our domestic cement volumes increased by 16% year-over-year. Our domestic cement prices increased by 2% sequentially, due to price adjustments implemented in 2Q21. 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 during 2Q21 and 6M21, mainly due to competitive market dynamics and the impact of COVID-19 on business activity. Domestic Cement Volumes and Prices 1 Millions of Philippine Pesos


Slide 10

Net Sales As a result of higher volume, net sales increased, year over year, by 43% during the second quarter and by 13% during the first six months of 2021. Net Sales1 1 Millions of Philippine Pesos +43% +13%


Slide 11

Private Sector Construction sector employment remained above 4 million persons in April and May of 2021, despite tightening of quarantine measures, as restrictions on the construction industry were eased. Activity in the residential sector was higher year-over-year as a positive trend in approved residential building permits supported the sector during the quarter. Demand may still be challenged by the impact of inflation on short-term purchase behavior. In addition, despite positive remittance inflows, OFW households are likely to apportion more remittance proceeds for basic and health necessities. Activity improved in the non-residential sector from its level in the same period last year as mobility restrictions eased despite stricter quarantine levels during the second quarter. This year, property developers have programmed higher CAPEX, and activity in the sector may improve as more projects start. The CREATE law’s application could provide support to private activity by incentivizing firms to expand development plans.

Slide 12

Public Sector Infrastructure disbursements from April to June grew by 63% year-over-year to Php 232 billion. Spending during this period also surpassed the level in the comparable months two years ago. The growth reflects the government’s efforts to speed up execution in order to catch up on project delays. While the risk of COVID-19 remains, construction has been deemed an essential activity and a key contributor to economic recovery.

Slide 13

Cost of Sales Cost of sales was 59% of sales during the first six months of 2021, compared with 61% in the same period of 2020. Total fuel cost was 1% higher year-over-year for the first half of 2021. Using more cost-efficient fuel mix to lower dependence on coal, the market price of which has been at its highest level in more than a decade. Total power cost increased by 32% year-over-year for the first half of 2021 with higher electricity rates, and a rebate from the wholesale electricity spot market received in the prior year.

Slide 14

Operating Expenses Distribution expenses was 15% of sales during the first half of 2021, a decrease of 3 pp year-over-year. This was mainly driven by lower delivered volumes and initiatives to increase efficiency. Selling and administrative expenses was 13% of sales during the first half of 2021, lower by 1 pp year-over-year. Distribution (% of net sales) Selling and Administrative (% of net sales)

Slide 16

Net Income Net income was at PHP 804 million for the first six months of 2021 mainly due to higher operating earnings. Financial expenses were lower by 78% year-over-year during the first half, reflecting lower debt levels and declining interest rates. Foreign exchange losses were a result of the declining Philippine Peso to U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Year-to-date income taxes include a one-time expense from the revaluation of deferred tax assets pursuant to income tax rate reductions related to the CREATE Act2. 1 Millions of Philippine Pesos 2 The Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises or the CREATE Act, which was approved into law on March 26, 2021 Net Income1
