Financial Performance Overview

TITAN Group - Overview of the first half of 2022

Helped by stronger Q2 2022 performance, the Group's consolidated revenue for H1 2022 surpassed the €1 billion threshold and reached €1,035.5m, up 26.1% versus the first half of 2021. This reflects solid demand across most markets coupled with price increases across countries and products. Top line growth was supported by stronger US\$ and US\$-linked currencies (in local currencies growth was 21.3%). EBITDA increased by 7.1% to €92.7m in Q2, while for H1 2022 it reached €139.1m, down by 2.5%, held back by the spike in energy costs and freight rates, as the effect of price increases was not yet fully in place in Q1. Net profit after taxes and minority interests was €43.9m in Q2, 2.9% higher than Q2 2021, while for H1 it reached €45.2m vs €58.0m last year, due to the weak Q1 result.

In Q2 2022, sales continued strongly in all regions of operation. The Group was able to move forward with price increases, announced at the end of 2021 and in the first half of 2022, in order to offset the continuously rising energy and input costs. The Group is constantly monitoring various input costs amidst this volatile environment and is following a dynamic pricing policy, safeguarding profitability levels.

Regional review of the first half 2022

Titan operations in Q2 2022 in the US recorded a solid performance, supporting the view that market fundamentals are well in place underpinning demand in a strong economy. In both of the Group's main geographies demand remained at high levels. Residential build-up and continued infrastructure activity supported demand in the Mid-Atlantic, while Florida's economy is racing ahead at full steam. Florida's residential demand is burgeoning, while commercial resurgence reflects the move of considerable business activity to the region. A growing number of infrastructure investment programs are underway in both Florida and Mid Atlantic.

Amidst this positive environment, the Group has successfully realized price increases this year and managed to gradually restore profitability with Q2 EBITDA at €42.8m coming close to Q2 of 2021 (€44.9m). As the last implementation of price increases took place in June, further margin recovery is expected to materialize in Q3.

Wide adoption of type IL cement and generally lower-clinker cement products improve the Group's financial and environmental results.

Revenue in the USA recorded a 23.4% increase to €595.4m during the first six months of 2022 (11.7% increase in US \$ terms), while EBITDA reached €66.8m versus €83.4m, a 20% drop vs H1 2021. The discrepancy is due to the relatively delayed effect of implemented price increases compared to the earlier and persistent pressure of high input costs, such as energy, logistics, labor, and raw materials.

The Greek domestic market continued evolving well in the first half of the year with increased volume of sales. Two successive price increases - one in the last quarter of 2021 and a second one towards the end of the first quarter of the year, have been implemented to cover the cost increases recorded across production inputs. Similarly, on the export front, price increases have been implemented across all export destinations in order to cover higher production and freight costs. In terms of activity, the large urban clusters of Athens and Thessaloniki as well as those of Crete in the periphery account for the lion's share of activity with major projects starting to pull in volumes while renovation and small private projects are somewhat softer reflecting the uncertainties of the current cost environment. On the operational front, the group has continued pursuing its decarbonization and digitalization initiatives across installations in order to reduce its carbon footprint as well as to navigate more efficiently through the turbulence generated by the tight cost environment.

Total revenue for region Greece and Western Europe in the first half of 2022 grew by 21.3% to €158.3m while EBITDA improved to €16.1m versus €14.8m.

The region of Southeast Europe has exhibited high revenue growth in the first half of the year, despite volatile political circumstances, with variations across different markets. Tight supply conditions in the region coupled with significant production input cost increases served as the backdrop for price increases in all markets and have helped maintaining profitability close to previous year in most of the countries in the region. Real estate activity continues, also serving as a safe haven for investors in the current volatile cost and interest rate environment. Infrastructure projects continue to contribute a significant part of cement consumption in most countries in the region. Substantial progress has been made in the Group's decarbonization efforts through the introduction of lower clinker cement types across more countries. In order to improve its efficiency and manage its cost base, the Group is investing further in alternative fuel utilization, debottlenecking, alternative energy sources as well as in digitalizing further its operations.

Revenue for the region as a whole in the first semester of 2022 increased by 27.5% to €168.6m while EBITDA increased by 4.2% to €43.8m.

In Egypt, construction activity remains well-oriented despite the country's macroeconomic challenges. The pricing environment has significantly improved, retaining the momentum achieved as a result of the rationalization of the country's domestic supply situation, which is still in place. Public housing development and infrastructure projects already underway continue to account for the bulk of cement demand. The country is also in step with the overall trend towards the adoption of more blended cement types, a positive development in ameliorating both the carbon footprint and the cost base.

In Turkey, the economic environment has rapidly deteriorated with the country reaching hyper-inflation levels, not seen in 20 years. Domestic volumes have declined as a result of severely curtailed public investment activity and a particularly harsh winter at the beginning of the year weighing on first half volumes. Amidst this predicament, prices have increased to cover inflation as producers moved swiftly to mitigate their risks. Moreover, the current macroeconomic turmoil has elevated real estate into the most preferred investment, spurring a surge in new real estate developmentsto accommodate needsfor relative stability. IAS 29 for hyperinflation was applied in Turkey, increasing depreciation cost by €1.6m, tax charged by €1.7m and realizing an equity gain of €14.6m. A goodwill impairment of €10.4m was recognized by management in order to reverse the gain in goodwill that resulted by indexation.

Total revenue in the Eastern Mediterranean reached €113.1m in the first half of 2022. an increase of 48.9% year on year, while EBITDA increased significantly, reaching €12.4m versus €2.4m.

In Brazil, the testing state of the national economy, marked by high interest rates, high inflation, and the compression of private disposable income all affected cement consumption which declined by 2.7% in the first half of the year. As in other markets, input costs increased across the board, in terms of energy, raw materials and transport while cement price increases rose at a slower pace. On the other hand, there is a drive, especially ahead of this year's general elections in October, in public housing and infrastructure investments, as well as government efforts to address affordability concerns.

In the first half of the year, Apodi posted an increase in revenue to €50.5m, versus €36.7m in the first half of 2021, while EBITDA reached €3.6m versus €8.8m in 2021.

Financing and Investments

Operating free cash flow for the first six months of the year recorded a net outflow of €49m compared to a net inflow of €60.5m in the first half of 2021. Cash flow generation has been affected by the extensive CAPEX program (€96m in H1 2022 vs €54m in2021) in progress, mainly in the US, as well as by fuel inventories purchased at higher prices compared to last year and trade receivables at higher levels, as a result of higher revenue levels.

Group's net finance costs in H1 2022 were reduced to €14.6m, while the Group net debt at the end of the first six months of 2022 was €795m, higher by €81m from the end of 2021.

On March 16, 2022, the Board of Directors decided the return of capital of €0.50 per share to all shareholders of the Company on record on April 28, 2022, which was paid on July 5th , 2022.

The Group has been implementing consecutive share buy-back programs and in the period from January 1st until June 30th, 2022, has purchased 943,076 shares on Euronext Brussels and the Athens Exchange (ATHEX) for a total consideration of €12.2 million. On June 30th, the Group owned treasury shares representing 3.10% of total voting rights. A new buy-back program of €10m was decided by the Board of Directors on July 27th 2022. The new program will begin following the end of the current running program and will be up to €10 million with a duration of up to six months. TCI will keep the market fully informed of the progress of the relevant transactions in line with applicable regulations.

Outlook

The macroeconomic turmoil manifesting itself since the beginning of this year has elevated volatility and unpredictability to key determining factors; much depends on how the war evolves in Ukraine, its duration, and its aftermath on the global economy. At the same time, central monetary authorities around the world are facing the dilemma of preventing the economy from further overheating while avoiding stomping out growth altogether. In this environment, TITAN is focusing on the levers at its disposal to safeguard production, protect margins, improve efficiencies and continue with its carbon mitigation strategies. Decarbonization projects are underway in all regions, lower-clinker types of cement are being rolled out in all markets and meeting with very good uptake, while digitalization investments across the stages of production translate into cost savings and improved production output. As cost pressures are expected to persist across geographies, the Group will continue to address global cost headwinds by adjusting pricing, in a dynamic manner in order to safeguard its performance.

In the US, fundamentals remain solid. Residential activity is robust, despite concerns of rising interest rates and affordability, while the supply of cement is tight. With state budgets at historic highs, construction activity from public projects is expected to continue until the new infrastructure package starts in 2023 to boost infrastructure spending further. It should be emphasized that the Group is present in some of the USA's top growing regions which outpace the rest of the US economy. TITAN, especially after the current round of investments in the USA, will be in a prime position to capitalize on the growth of the market.

European economies remain more affected by the crisis owing to their geographical proximity and more direct exposure to the disrupted energy networks. While Europe is stepping up its efforts to address its energy security and maintain growth rates in the region, the outlook for construction remains positive but does carry significant uncertainty. The ongoing war and duration of steep energy costs could impact underlying demand in the second half.

In Greece activity should continue to be supported by the large investment projects now commenced which offer a supply horizon for several years ahead. Moreover, with the conclusion of what appears to be another strong tourism season, projects related to the sector should start by the end of the season in preparation for the following year. Market demand is subject to uncertainties related to the macroeconomic developments. Lack of available

skilled labor in construction sites may be a factor affecting the pace of works, a phenomenon alas recorded in markets across Europe and the US.

Activity in southeastern Europe is expected to continue to reflect differences across markets while overall levels of activity should be maintained. The evolution of costs in the second half of the year will very much determine overall levels of profitability as well. Otherwise, the Group will continue to utilize its strategic regional positioning to serve market needs in the most efficient manner.

In Egypt, the market should withstand the macroeconomic challenges considering the importance of the construction sector in this large country. Moreover, a continuation of the cement production quota, not finalized yet, safeguards healthy prices and the recovery of profitability levels.

In Turkey, volumes will continue to decline so long as the economy does not stabilize. Elections currently slated to take place in 2023 might offer some respite, while the market has been adept in managing the crisis through both dynamic pricing and the full exploitation of Turkey's considerable export outlet potential.

Brazil is another country with a large and young population and feeling the brunt of inflationary pressures. The cement market may soften somewhat, especially as the government wishes to maintain the momentum of its housing program and ameliorate affordability concerns in what is a critical election year.

For the attention of the Board of Directors

STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of financial position of Titan Cement International SA and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2022 and the related consolidated condensed statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated condensed financial information in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated condensed financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.

The Company's corporate registration number is 0699.936.657 and its registered address is Rue de la Loi 23, 7th floor, box 4, 1040 Brussels, Belgium, while it has established a place of business in the Republic of Cyprus in the address Andrea Zakou 12 & Michail Paridi str, MC Building, 2404 Egkomi, Nicosia, Cyprus. The Company's shares are traded on Euronext Brussels, with a parallel listing on Athens Stock exchange and Euronext Paris.

The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group) are engaged in the production, trade and distribution of a wide range of construction materials, including cement, concrete, aggregates, cement blocks, dry mortars and fly ash. The Group operates primarily in Greece, the Balkans, Egypt, Turkey, the USA and Brazil.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2022.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies

These financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared by management in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2021.

However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual group financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the application of the IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and the new or revised standards, amendments and/or interpretations that are mandatory for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.

Application of IAS 29 - Hyperinflation in Turkey

The Turkish economy was designated as hyperinflationary from June 2022. As a result, IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" has been applied to the Group subsidiaries (Adocim Cimento Beton Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Adocim Marmara Cimento Beton Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.), whose functional currency is the Turkish Lira, and they prepare financial statements based on a historical cost approach. IAS 29 requires to report the results of the Group's operations in Turkey, as if these were highly inflationary as of 1 January 2022. Specifically, IAS 29 requires:

  • − Adjustment of historical cost of the non-monetary assets and liabilities for the change in purchasing power caused by inflation from the date of initial recognition to the end of the reporting date;
  • − Non-adjustment of the monetary assets and liabilities, as they are already expressed in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period;
  • − Adjustment of the income statement for inflation and its translation with the closing exchange rate instead of an average rate; and
  • − Recognition of gain or loss on net monetary position in profit or loss in order to reflect the impact of inflation and exchange rate movement on holding monetary assets and liabilities in local currency.

The financial statements of Group subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are adjusted for inflation and then translated into euros. Prior year comparatives have not been restated for hyperinflation in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between the closing balance of Group's equity on 31.12.2021 and its opening balance on 01.01.2022 was recognised in equity. Any difference from the ongoing application of re-translation to closing exchange rates and hyperinflation adjustments will be recognised in other comprehensive income.

In the consolidated income statement for the six months ended on 30.6.2022, the Group recognized a total gain on net monetary position of €17.4 mil., including current period's credit of goodwill's inflation of €10.4 mil. in operating profit, €2.8 mil. in cost of sales and the remaining amount of €4.2 mil. in net finance cost.

On the application of IAS 29, the Group used the conversion coefficient derived from the consumer price index published by TurkStat (TUIK). The conversion coefficient was 977.90 and 686.95 on 30.6.2022 and 31.12.2021 respectively.

New or revised standards, amendments and/or interpretation

The following amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2022 and have been endorsed by the European Union:

  • − Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements (effective 1 January 2022). The package of amendments includes narrow-scope amendments to three Standards as well as the Board's Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the Standards.
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
  • Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
  • Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
  • Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.
  • − Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases Covid 19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (effective 01/04/2021, with early application permitted). The amendments extend, by one year, the May 2020 amendment that provides lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. In particular, the amendment permits a lessee to apply the practical expedient regarding COVID-19-related rent concessions to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (rather than only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021). The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 (earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorised for issue at the date the amendment is issued).

The Group had either no impact or an immaterial impact from the adoption of the aforementioned amendment of standards.

The following new standard and amendments have been issued, are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2022 but have been endorsed by the European Union:

  • − Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (effective 1 January 2023). The amendments aim to improve accounting policy disclosures and to help users of the financial statements to distinguish between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies. The IAS 1 amendment requires companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. Further, the amendment to IAS 1 clarifies that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. To support this amendment, the Board also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2, 'Making Materiality Judgements', to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted (subject to any local endorsement process).
  • − Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective 1 January 2023). The amendment to IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', clarifies how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted (subject to any local endorsement process).

The Group is currently assessing possible impacts in its financial statements from the adoption of the aforementioned standard or/and amendment of standards.

The following amendments have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2022 and have not been endorsed by the European Union:

  • − Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as current or noncurrent' (effective 01/01/2023), affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position — not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expenses, or the information that entities disclose about those items. They:
  • Clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the "right" to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the end of the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability;
  • Clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.
  • − Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effective 1 January 2023). The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The main change in the amendments is an exemption from the initial recognition exemption of IAS 12.15(b) and IAS 12.24. Accordingly, the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Early adoption is permitted.

3. Estimates

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and consequently the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Any update in estimates of specific topics is included in the related note of these consolidated interim financial statements.

4. Seasonality of operations

The Group is a supplier of cement, concrete, aggregates and other building materials. The demand for these products is seasonal in temperate countries such as in Europe and North America. Therefore, the Group generally records lower revenues and operating profits during the first and fourth quarters when adverse weather conditions are present in the northern hemisphere. In contrast, sales and profitability tend to be higher during the second and third quarters, as favorable weather conditions support construction activity.

5. Operating segment information

For management information purposes, the Group is structured in five operating segments: Greece and Western Europe, North America, South Eastern Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and Joint Ventures. Each operating segment is a set of countries. The aggregation of countries is based mainly on geographic position.

Each region has a regional Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is a member of the Group Executive Committee and reports to the Group's CEO. In addition, the Group's finance department is organized by region for effective financial control and performance monitoring.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization & impairment (EBITDA). EBITDA calculation includes the operating profit plus depreciation, amortization and impairment of tangible and intangible assets and amortization of government grands.

On the Turkish subsidiary Adocim Cimento Beton Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. assets, there are mortgages of €28.3 mil., securing bank credit facilities. On 30.6.2022, utilization under these credit facilities amounted to €3.0 mil..

Assets with a net book value of €307 thousand were disposed by the Group during the six months ended 30 June 2022 (1.1- 30.6.2021: €1,201 thousand) resulting in a net gain of €167 thousand (1.1-30.6.2021: gain €305 thousand).

In the first half of 2022, the Group's subsidiary, Titan Cement S.A., completed the sale of the remaining land plots located in Elefsina-Attika, which was classified as asset held for sale. The transaction resulted in a gain of €262 thousand, as the selling price of the plots was €500 thousand and their net book value was €238 thousand.

In Turkey, demand has declined however with notable price increases well above inflation. Adocim's revenue and operating profit growth is strong, supporting a positive outlook. Though the continuous high inflationary environment requires the application of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. This increased goodwill by 20.6 mil. Overall, the increased carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, resulting in an impairment loss of 10.4 mil.

The management assessed that the cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities (excluding the put option) approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

On 30.6.2022, the Group derivative balances consist of the fair values of:

a) Cross currency interest rate swap agreements (CCS), interest rate swaps (IRS) and EUR-USD forward contracts that hedge interest rate risk and/or foreign currency related to loans,

b) Forward freight agreements (FFAs) with the purpose of hedging against the volatility of freight rates,

c) Energy swap agreements for hedging exposure to price changes of coal,

d) Natural gas forward purchase contracts to fix a portion of the monthly NYMEX component of the natural gas costs in USA. The Group designated a cash flow hedge relationship between the highly probable forecast monthly purchase of natural gas and the forward contracts,

e) Forward starting interest rate swap agreements (IRS) to partially lock the interest rate cost of the forecast bond issue, which will refinance the guaranteed notes due in 2024. The Group designated a cash flow hedge relationship between the IRS agreements and the interest rate cost of the highly probable forecast issuance of a 5-year new bond. On 18.6.2022, one of the two IRS agreements was terminated with a gain of €17.9 mil. that will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows from the forecast bond issuance occur.

Fair value hierarchy

          • The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of the assets and liabilities by valuation method:
          • Level 1: based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
          • Level 2: based on valuation techniques whereby all inputs having a significant effect on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly and includes quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not so much actively traded.

Level 3: based on valuation techniques whereby all inputs having a significant effect on the fair value are not observable market data.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets and liabilities.
