In local currency terms, cement prices grew 16%, ready-mix 15%, and aggregates 24%. Cement volumes declined 12% reflecting a difficult comparison versus the previous year. Bagged cement volumes during the second quarter of last year reached the highest levels in a decade, driven by pandemic related home improvement and government social spending ahead of the midterm elections. Demand for our products continues to be driven by industrial and commercial activity, supported by the buildout of manufacturing facilities in the north of the country, and hotel construction in touristic destinations. We continue to implement our pricing strategy and cost containment initiatives in order to offset challenges experienced in the country. To that effect, we announced double-digit price increases effective July 1st, 2022.

During the quarter, ready-mix and aggregates volumes grew 3%, while cement volumes 2022 Second Quarter Results Page 3
Operating results declined slightly as a consequence of a shortage of product arising from supply chain disruptions. Cement demand continues to grow driven by the industrial and commercial, and residential sectors. Robust top line growth was driven by a successful pricing strategy, achieving double-digit price growth for our products. In local currency terms, cement prices grew 15%, ready-mix 12%, and aggregates 17%. EBITDA margin declined year over year mainly due to higher energy costs and supply chain headwinds from maintenance, imports and logistics. We successfully implemented price increases in April, resulting in sequential prices growing between 4% and 10% for our core products in the quarter.

The region also achieved like-to-like EBITDA growth, despite significant macro volatility. Margin slightly declined during the quarter due to higher energy and transportation costs, as well as lower volumes. Europe showed strong execution on its pricing strategy, with cement prices rising 9% sequentially, and 26% year over year. The slight decrease in volumes reflects demand softness in certain markets. In the Philippines, cement volumes declined 11% mainly as a result of bad weather and the construction contract ban in the leadup to the election. Cement prices grew 3% sequentially, the fifth consecutive quarter of improvement. In Israel, construction activity continued to be robust, with ready-mix and aggregates volumes and sequential pricing achieving mid-single digit growth. In Egypt, EBITDA keeps improving, mainly driven by the industry rationalization plan announced by the government last year.

The formal sector continues to experience recovery, mainly supported by a pickup in tourism and housing activity, while bagged cement volumes returned to normalized levels. Regional cement prices were up 11% compared to the second quarter of 2021, with ready-mix prices flattish and aggregates growing 8%. As a result of higher energy and maintenance costs, together with lower cement volumes, EBITDA and EBITDA margin declined 7% and 3.9 percentage points, respectively, during the quarter. In Colombia, cement volumes declined 6% as a result of our pricing strategy. In the Dominican Republic, cement volumes declined 4% mainly due to the rebalancing of bagged cement volumes while prices increased 17% in local currency terms. Offsetting some of the weakness in bagged product, formal sector activity in the country continues to recover mainly driven by tourism, formal housing, and initiation of large infrastructure projects.

Investment in working capital increased due to higher sales and inventories. Our working capital cycle is seasonal, and investments in the first half of the year typically turn around during the second half. The increase in maintenance capex relates primarily to the delayed delivery of mobile equipment due to supply chain disruptions.
