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.
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
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.
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.

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%
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.

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.
