Total fuel cost was 1% higher year-over-year for the first half of 2021. CHP continues to use a 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.

Foreign exchange losses were primarily a result of the declining Philippine Peso to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

Our 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 due to strict lockdowns in the same period last year.
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, the change in our domestic cement prices was mainly driven by higher proportion of pick-up sales.
Net of freight charges, our domestic cement prices decreased by 1% year-over-year during the second quarter and first half of 2021, mainly due to competitive market dynamics and the impact of COVID-19 on business activity.
