GROUP PERFORMANCE

TÜRKIYE - HYPERINFLATED ECONOMY: IMPACTS OF THE APPLICATION OF IAS 29

As of April 2022, the Turkish economy is considered hyperinflationary according to the criteria set out in "IAS 29-Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies". For the purpose of preparing these Condensed interim consolidated financial statements and in accordance with the provisions of IAS 29, certain items on the balance sheets of investee companies in Türkiye have been re-measured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data; this makes it possible to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Turkish Lira as of the reporting date of the investees themselves.

The accounting effects of this adjustment, in addition to already being reflected in the opening balance sheet as of 1 January 2025, incorporate the changes for the period. In particular, the effect related to the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity items, and income statement items recognised in the first half of 2025 was recognised in a separate income statement item under financial income and expenses. The related tax effect of non-cash assets was recognised in taxes for the period.

To take into account the impact of hyperinflation also on the local currency exchange rate, profit and loss account balances expressed in hyperinflationary currencies have been converted into Euro, the Cementir Group's presentation currency, applying the final exchange rate instead of the average exchange rate for the period, in line with IAS 21's requirement to report these amounts at current values.

The cumulative levels of the general consumer price indices are as follows:

  • ➢ From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2024: 2,258%
  • ➢ From 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025: 17%

In the first half of 2025, the application of IAS 29 resulted in the recognition of a net financial burden (pre-tax) of EUR 4.2 million.

The impact of hyperinflation for the first half of 2025 is reported, which includes the valuation of non-industrial real estate in Türkiye in the amount of approximately EUR 8.3 million (EUR 16.7 million in the first half of 2024):

Aggregates (metric tons) 5,162 4,925 4.8%

During the first half of 2025, cement and clinker volumes sold, at 5.1 million tons, remained almost stable compared to the same period in 2024, thanks to the increase recorded in Türkiye, Nordic & Baltic and in Malaysia, which offset the reduction in volumes in the other geographical areas.

Ready-mixed concrete sales volumes of 2.2 million cubic metres increased by 1.5%, driven by positive developments in Türkiye and Norway, with a smaller contribution from Belgium, while there was a decline in Denmark and Sweden.

Aggregate sales volumes amounted to 5.2 million tons, an increase of 4.8% compared to the first half of 2024, with increases in Türkiye and Denmark, stability in Belgium and a decline in Sweden.

Group revenue from sales and services reached EUR 807.1 million, up 0.5% compared to EUR 803.3 million in the first half of 2024. The increase was driven by the positive performance in Nordic & Baltic, Türkiye and Malaysia, while there was a decline in other geographical areas. It should be noted that at constant 2024 exchange rates, revenues would have amounted to EUR 842.1 million, 4.8% higher than in the same period last year.

At EUR 637.7 million, operating costs increased by 0.8% compared to EUR 632.8 million in the first half of 2024.

The cost of raw materials, equal to EUR 328.3 million, decreased by 0.5% compared to EUR 330.0 million in the first half of 2024, due to the reduction in the price of some raw materials and energy, lower production and exchange effects, especially in Türkiye.

Personnel costs, amounting to EUR 113.1 million, increased by 5.2% compared to EUR 107.5 million in the same period of 2024, mainly due to wage dynamics, which led to a retroactive salary adjustment from January the 1st, 2025 in Türkiye.

At EUR 196.2 million, other operating costs increased by 0.5% compared to EUR 195.3 million in the first half of 2024.

EBITDA amounted to EUR 171.5 million, down 5.7% from EUR 181.9 million in the first half of 2024, in a complex macroeconomic environment, with weakening currencies resulting in a negative exchange rate effect of EUR 7 million, and despite two unforeseen events that affected operating performance during the period: a fire in the alternative fuels feeding system at the Gaurain plant in Belgium, and technical problems during the restart of the second production line in Egypt, which led to the postponement of shipments.

The EBITDA margin was 21.2%, compared to 22.6% in the first half of 2024.

At constant 2024 exchange rates, EBITDA would have amounted to EUR 178.4 million, down 1.9% year-onyear.

EBIT, taking into account depreciation, amortisation, write-downs and provisions of EUR 66.5 million (EUR 61.9 million in the first half of 2024), amounted to EUR 105.0 million, down 12.5% from EUR 120.0 million in the same period of the previous year. Depreciation and amortisation due to the application of IFRS 16 amounted to EUR 18.4 million (EUR 16.4 million in the same period of 2024).

At constant 2024 exchange rates, EBIT would have reached EUR 110.6 million.

Net financial income amounted to EUR 2.7 million, down from EUR 22.1 million in the same period of the previous year, due to extraordinary income related to the devaluation of more than 50% of the Egyptian pound against Euros in the first half of 2024.

Net of foreign exchange effects, net financial income including the valuation of derivatives amounted to EUR 1.0 million (charges of EUR 0.8 million in the first half of 2024). The share of net profits of equity-accounted investees was negative by EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1 million in the first half of 2024).

Profit before taxes was EUR 107.7 million, down 24.2% on EUR 142.1 million in the first half of 2024.

Profit for the period amounted to EUR 81.6 million (EUR 110.2 million in the first half of 2024), after taxes of EUR 26.0 million (EUR 31.9 million in the same period of 2024).

Group net profit, once non-controlling interests were accounted for, amounted to EUR 81.4 million (EUR 102.2 million in the first half of 2024).

During the second quarter of 2025, cement and clinker sales volumes, amounting to 2.9 million tons, recorded an increase of 5.6% compared to the same period of 2024. This result reflects strong sales performance in Türkiye, Denmark and the United States; on the contrary, volumes contracted in Belgium, Egypt and Asia Pacific.

Ready-mixed concrete sales volumes of 1.2 million cubic metres increased by 1.1 per cent due to the positive performance in Türkiye and Norway, while Denmark, Belgium and Sweden recorded a decline in volumes.

In the aggregates sector, sales volumes amounted to 2.8 million tonnes, an increase of 9.2%, thanks to Türkiye, Denmark and Sweden, while in Belgium they remained essentially stable.

Revenues from sales and services amounted to EUR 436.5 million, substantially in line with EUR 436.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, with growth in the Nordic & Baltic area and Türkiye, and a decrease in revenues in the remaining geographic areas.

Operating costs amounted to EUR 335.6 million (EUR 328.0 million in the second quarter of 2024), up 2.3%, mainly due to increased costs of raw materials and personnel costs.

EBITDA, amounting to EUR 101.8 million, decreased by 9.5% compared to the second quarter of 2024 (EUR 112.5 million), with a decrease in all geographic areas except North America and due to non recurring technical issues already mentioned.

EBIT amounted to EUR 67.7 million (EUR 80.4 million in the second quarter of 2024).

Financial income (expense) was positive by EUR 0.2 million (negative by EUR 2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024).

Profit before taxes was EUR 68.0 million, a decrease of 12.9% compared to the second quarter of 2024 (EUR 80.4 million).

Investments in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to EUR 24 million (EUR 30.5 million in the second quarter of 2024), of which EUR 4.5 million in application of accounting standard IFRS 16 (EUR 6.5 million in the second quarter of 2024).

NON-FINANCIAL INDICATORS

The Group has defined a Roadmap to 2030 that will allow for the constant reduction of CO₂ emissions per ton of cement. In the 2020 - first half of 2025 period, action to reduce CO₂ emissions per ton of cement achieved the results planned by the Group in its Roadmap to 2030.

In the first half of 2025, emissions per ton of grey cement were 616 kg, down 14% compared to 2020, while emissions per ton of white cement were 862 kg, down 6% compared to 2020.

The production of white cement, which accounts for about a quarter of the Group's total output, increased slightly from the average value of 2024, 862 kg to 859 kg, due to a higher demand for high-clinker cements in the markets in which the Group operates.

The Group is increasingly focused on developing new technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

In March 2025, Cementir and Air Liquide officially signed the EUR 220 million non-repayable loan agreement with the European Innovation Fund for the ACCSION carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Denmark. Once fully operational, the project will enable to avoid 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions per year. In addition to this important project, already planned actions to replace fossil fuels with alternative "green" fuels and to reduce the clinker content in the cement produced are continuing.

With the implementation of a CCS system in Aalborg, the Group will reduce emissions of CO₂ per ton of grey cement to 417 kg, which is below the limits required by the European Taxonomy and equates to a 42% reduction from 2020 levels.

Even for white cement, which is a niche product for specific applications, with a market share of 0.5% of world production, the Group has revised its emissions to 2030 downwards. For white cement, CO₂ emissions will be reduced to 653 kg per ton of product. The 29% reduction by 2030 will be achieved by replacing traditional fuels with fuels that have a lower emission impact, in particular natural gas and other alternative fuels such as biomass, and by replacing clinker with mineral additives, such as limestone.

The climate change targets established by the Group have been deployed per single plant and year and were included in the 2025-2027 Industrial Plan approved by the Board of Directors of Cementir Holding on 11 February 2025.

Compared to the same period of the previous year, there was a significant improvement in accident rates. In line with the Group roadmap, specific measures have been implemented in order to increase worker awareness and supervision and control activities in the field.

In February, a fatal accident occurred at the Izmir plant in Türkiye during maintenance work. The internal investigation showed that the death occurred as a result of a serious violation of company procedures by the workers involved in the activity. In particular, the procedure of powering down and isolating the machines had not been properly carried out before starting maintenance. A number of corrective actions were therefore taken, mainly on behavioural aspects.

Denmark

In the first half of 2025, sales revenues reached EUR 244.7 million, an increase of 3.9% compared to EUR 235.6 million in the first half of 2024.

Grey cement volumes on the domestic market decreased slightly compared to the first half of 2024, while white cement volumes decreased more sharply (-21%).

The macroeconomic environment continues to weigh negatively on the construction sector, particularly the residential sector.

Cement exports increased by 7% compared to the first half of 2024 thanks to higher deliveries to Norway, Iceland, Belgium and the Faroe Islands, partially offset by a contraction in sales in the UK, Poland, France and Greenland.

Ready-mixed concrete volumes in Denmark fell by 4% compared to the first half of 2024, due to a slow start linked to severe weather conditions in January. In addition, the development of new infrastructure projects has been delayed, while other projects have come to completion.

In the aggregates sector, sales volumes grew by 16% compared to the first half of 2024, also thanks to the improvement in the production performance of one of the two quarries and robust demand in the reference geographical area.

EBITDA reached EUR 76.1 million (EUR 72.4 million in the first half of 2024), up 5.2% mainly due to the positive contribution of cement, thanks to savings on purchasing costs and fuel and electricity consumption, which more than offset the increase in raw material and other operating costs. Ready-mixed concrete also made a positive contribution, supported by higher sales prices that more than offset higher variable costs.

Investments for the first half of the year amounted to EUR 20 million, of which approximately EUR 15.3 million in the cement sector, mainly for extraordinary maintenance on kilns, efficiency of production capacity, preliminary studies for CO2 capture and storage initiatives, and for the introduction of natural gas as an alternative fuel. Investments in the ready-mixed concrete sector mainly concerned the renovation of the Ejby plant in Copenhagen. Investments include EUR 2.6 million accounted for under IFRS 16 accounting standard concentrated mainly in ready-mixed concrete.

Norway and Sweden

In Norway, ready-mixed concrete sales volumes increased by 10% compared to the first half of 2024, supported by favourable weather conditions and the start of some major projects. There are signs of a recovery in the market, but it remains characterised by overcapacity and price competition.

It should be noted that 2024 was a particularly difficult year, marked by the most serious crisis after that of 2008 – 2009, with a market that contracted by 21% compared to 2023 and by 32% compared to 2022.

The Norwegian krone depreciated by 1.5% against the average euro exchange rate in the same half of 2024.

Ready-mixed concrete volumes in Sweden decreased moderately compared to the first half of 2024. The country's economy continues to show some weakness even though last year's volumes had benefited from an increase of more than 30% compared to 2023 mainly due to an important project now finished.

Aggregate volumes fell by 4% due to a shortage of new infrastructure projects in the south of the country and excess production capacity.

The Swedish krona appreciated by 2.6% against the average euro exchange rate in the same half of 2024.

In the first half of 2025, sales revenues in Norway and Sweden increased by 4.6% to EUR 71.1 million (EUR 68 million in the first half of 2024), while EBITDA amounted to EUR 3 million (EUR 2.3 million in the same period of 2024). The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to the positive trend in Sweden for higher sales prices in both ready-mixed concrete and aggregates which more than offset higher production costs.

Investments amounted to EUR 2.7 million, of which EUR 1.5 million in Norway and EUR 1.2 million in Sweden. Investments recognised as a result of IFRS 16 were EUR 0.9 million.

Investments 7,622 28,842

In the first half of 2025, cement sales volumes on the domestic market fell by 8% compared to the same period of 2024, due to persistent weakness in demand.

Exports fell by 7%, but this was an improvement on the first quarter, hit in particular by the negative trend in northern France and the temporary closure of a railway line, which cancelled a week of deliveries. Sales to the Netherlands remained stable compared to the previous year.

The slowdown in construction activity, especially in the residential segment, continued, apparently without having yet benefited from the reduction in interest rates.

Ready-mixed concrete sales volumes increased by about 2% compared to the first half of 2024, driven by the continuation of major projects launched at the end of 2024, but partially hampered by the harsh weather conditions in January.

Aggregate sales are broadly in line with the first half of 2024, despite the difficult weather conditions of the first days of the year, the long Easter holidays and the strike day. Competition between local players continues to put downward pressure on prices in all major markets.

Sales revenues decreased by 4.2% to EUR 164.4 million compared to EUR 171.5 million in the same period of 2024. EBITDA decreased by 6.4% to EUR 46.1 million compared to EUR 49.3 million in the previous year, mainly due to the decline recorded in the cement sector, penalised by lower volumes and sales prices and higher electricity costs, only partially offset by lower clinker purchases and savings on fixed production costs.

In addition to the above, in June, a fire occurred that caused damage to the alternative fuesl supply system. To ensure production continuity, the company was forced to use coal with negative effects on production costs resulting from the higher fuel costs and the repair costs to restore the alternatives line. Assessments with the insurance companies are ongoing, to quantify the damage and analyse the overall economic impacts, including extraordinary restoration costs.

Investments made in the first six months of the year amounted to EUR 7.6 million and concerned the cement segment of EUR 4.4 million mainly for extraordinary maintenance, efficiency of production capacity, preliminary studies for investments aimed at CO2 capture and storage and the introduction of natural gas as an alternative fuel. Investments accounted for under IFRS 16 amounted to EUR 0.5 million, relating to contracts for cement transport vehicles.

North America

In the United States, white cement sales volumes decreased by approximately 3% compared to the first half of 2024 with an improvement in the second quarter. The residential market continues to suffer from high mortgage interest rates, with limited scope for reduction due to expectations of rising inflation. Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the volatile tariff policy.

In Texas, the decline was more significant, due to adverse weather conditions in January and February, which also caused gas supply disruptions. May showed signs of recovery while in June logistics problems and adverse weather conditions again penalized the area in a still weak market environment.

In the York region, the decline was more moderate but still influenced by the harsh weather conditions of the first months of the year, with average temperatures about 10 degrees lower than the seasonal average.

In California, sales registered a moderate increase despite some critical issues related to product availability in the terminals, unfavourable weather and intense competition.

Florida sales were also up moderately despite two severe blizzards in January, general weak demand and limited availability of cement at the Tampa terminal. Demand showed signs of recovery in the spring, helped by a more favourable business environment and temporarily less intense competitive dynamics.

The dollar depreciated by 1.1% against the average euro exchange rate in the first half of 2024.

Overall, revenues decreased by 2.4% to EUR 90.7 million (EUR 93 million in the first half of 2024), while EBITDA decreased slightly to EUR 11.3 million (EUR 11.4 million in 2024), due to lower sales volumes and higher personnel costs, which were only partly offset by savings on cement procurement costs compared to the previous year. The company Vianini Pipe, active in the production of cement products, recorded a significant increase in EBITDA compared to the previous year thanks to the entry into new market segments and to the efficiency achieved in terms of variable production costs.

Investments in the first six months of 2025 amounted to EUR 2.7 million, of which EUR 2.2 million was allocated to the two cement plants for sustainability projects, production rationalisation and extraordinary maintenance. Investments accounted for according to the IFRS 16 accounting standard amounted to EUR 1.1 million, entirely referring to the cement sector.

Revenues reached EUR 165 million, up 5% compared to the first six months of 2024 (EUR 157.2 million), penalised by the 20% devaluation of the Turkish Lira compared to the average Euro exchange rate in the first half of 2024.

Cement sales volumes on the domestic market increased by 5% compared to the first half of 2024, with a marked improvement in the second quarter, in an economic environment still marked by high inflation, political instability and very high interest rates.

In the Aegean region (Izmir), volumes have moderately decreased due to the completion of projects started in 2024, the lack of significant new infrastructure investments and the delay in the progress of an approved major railway project and other urban transformation initiatives.

In contrast, the Marmara (Trakya) region achieved good growth, supported by new customers, rail and road projects and the continuation of urban transformation in Istanbul's 15 districts.

Sales volumes continued to grow in the regions of Elazig and Kars in Eastern Anatolia, supported by postearthquake reconstruction.

It should be noted that the sale of the Kars plant is underway, for more details please refer to the Significant Events of the period.

Cement and clinker exports increased by 2% compared to the first half of 2024, despite the ban on exports to Israel by the active Turkish government since the second quarter of 2024.

Ready-mixed concrete volumes also increased by 2% compared to the first half of 2024, mainly due to the opening of a new plant in Eastern Anatolia and a second one in Istanbul helped to expand volumes and strengthen market share in these areas.

Aggregate sales increased by about 19% compared to the previous year, thanks to the new quarry at Malatya in Eastern Anatolia supported by post-earthquake reconstruction and local infrastructure initiatives.

In the waste sector, the industrial waste treatment subsidiary Sureko recorded 19% higher revenues in local currency than in the first half of 2024, due to increased volumes and prices of fuel sales (RDF), fuel material collection and landfill quantities, and the commissioning of the new landfill, which has been operational since May.

Overall, the region's EBITDA stood at EUR 20.1 million, down 25% on the previous year (EUR 26.7 million), as a result of the increase in variable and fixed costs, and in particular personnel costs which were increased due to inflation at the end of March, with retroactive effect from January 1st 2025, and the devaluation of the Turkish lira, partially offset by higher average sales prices and volumes in all business segments.

Investments amounted to EUR 12.5 million, of which EUR 6.3 million in cement, mainly in the Izmir and Elazig plants, mainly investments in safety and the environment, and EUR 5.4 million in ready-mixed concrete; this second segment consists almost entirely of investments accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 relating to transport vehicles.

Sales revenues amounted to EUR 20.9 million, down 11.1% compared to EUR 23.5 million in the first half of 2024, mainly due to the devaluation of the Egyptian pound (-22.8% against the Euro compared to the first half of 2024), compared to revenues in local currency up by 9.2%.

Sales volumes of white cement fell by 2%, hurt by a weak second quarter, particularly due to reduced exports related to the postponement of shipments for technical reasons. On the domestic market, the first part of the year was marked by a weakness in the construction market, followed by an improvement in June. The country's economy is being held back by high inflation, devaluation, rising energy costs, pressure on manufacturing industries and a revision of the state budget with the suspension of infrastructure projects.

From an operational point of view, the reactivation of the second production line, after nine years of stoppage, had a series of problems that caused interruptions in business continuity and clinker quality problems leading to an increase in production costs due to the need to purchase clinker from third parties. The problems were resolved from the end of June, but in the half year it was not possible to meet the demand for the additional sales volumes expected, with economic impacts on the first half result.

As for exports, there were higher deliveries to Israel and Greece, while sales to Europe fell.

EBITDA decreased by 34.5% to EUR 5.1 million (EUR 7.8 million in the first half of 2024), due to the increase in operating costs for the aforementioned causes only partially offset by the different mix of volumes and higher selling prices.

Investments in the first six months of 2025 amounted to approximately EUR 1.8 million and involved the reactivation of the second clinker production furnace (EUR 1.4 million).

China

Sales revenues decreased by 11.5% to EUR 23.5 million from EUR 26.5 million in the first half of 2024 as a result of the reduction in sales prices, in the context of stagnant demand pending the effects of the numerous economic stimulus measures introduced by the government, such as the creation of new jobs, bond issuance to stimulate the economy, measures to convert unsold residential stock.

Although volumes were slightly down compared to the first half of the previous year, weak prices caused a 31.9% reduction in EBITDA to EUR 3.9 million (EUR 5.7 million in the same period of 2024).

The Chinese Renminbi depreciated by 1.6% against the average Euro exchange rate in the first half of 2024.

Investments in the first six months of the year amounted to about EUR 2.4 million, about half of which were allocated to interventions to reduce ammonia and NOx emissions.

Malaysia

Sales revenues increased by 1.1% to EUR 24 million (EUR 23.8 million in the corresponding period of 2024), thanks to higher sales volumes mainly concentrated on exports.

Total volumes increased by approximately 10%, mainly due to higher clinker shipments to Australia compared to the first half of 2024. The domestic market, although marginal in terms of volumes, recorded a 10% decline, due in part to the anticipation of some orders to December 2024, as well as the slowdown of important projects of large multinationals due to ongoing commercial and political tensions.

Cement exports remained stable compared to the first half of 2024 with higher deliveries to the Philippines, Cambodia and Myanmar and lower volumes to Vietnam.

EBITDA reached EUR 3 million, down 18.1% from EUR 3.7 million in the corresponding half of 2024, due to lower export prices, and a different mix of product and destination, against savings on production costs and higher sales volumes.

The Malaysian Ringgit appreciated by 6.5% against the average Euro exchange rate in the first half of 2024.

Investments in the first half of 2025 amounted to approximately EUR 1.1 million and involved projects to increase the functionality and efficiency of the plant, as well as extraordinary maintenance.

INVESTMENTS

In the first half of 2025, the Group made total investments of approximately EUR 53.7 million (EUR 74.2 million in the first half of 2024), of which approximately EUR 4.4 million in sustainability and EUR 12.2 million (EUR 17 million in the first half of 2024) related to right-of-use assets (IFRS 16).

Investments included EUR 34.1 million in the cement sector, EUR 11.5 million in ready-mixed concrete, EUR 5 million in aggregates and EUR 3.2 million for other business sectors.

The breakdown by asset class shows that EUR 51.4 million (EUR 73.2 million in the first half of 2024) relates to property, plant and equipment and EUR 2.3 million (EUR 1.0 million in the first half of 2024) to intangible assets.

KEY EVENTS DURING THE HALF YEAR

On 11 February 2025, the Board of Directors of the Parent Company approved the update of the Industrial Plan 2025-2027, to which press release please refer.

In March 2025, Cementir Holding and Air Liquide officially signed the EUR 220 million financial grant with the European Innovation Fund for the ACCSION carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Denmark, which will enable the scheme to avoid the emission of 1.5 million tons of CO₂ per year.

In May, the Group, through its two subsidiaries Çimentaş A.Ş and Alfacem S.r.l., signed a binding agreement with the Turkish company Arkoz Madencilik A.Ş for the sale of 100% of the share capital of Kars Cimento AS, the owner of an integrated cement plant located in northeastern Türkiye, with an annual production capacity of 0.6 million tons of cement. This transaction, which has an enterprise value of EUR 51 million on a cash and debt-free basis, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary contractual conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

In June 2025, the rating agency S&P Global Ratings confirmed the rating BBB- with Stable Outlook.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Health and safety

In the first half of the year, there was an overall and significant decrease in accident rates compared to the same period last year. In line with the Group roadmap, specific measures have been implemented in order to increase worker awareness and supervision and control activities in the field.

In February, a fatal accident occurred at the Izmir plant in Türkiye during maintenance work. The internal investigation showed that the death occurred as a result of a serious violation of company procedures by the workers involved in the activity. In particular, the procedure of powering down and isolating the machines had not been properly carried out before starting maintenance. A number of corrective actions were therefore taken, mainly on behavioural aspects.

In April, the Group celebrated Occupational Health and Safety Week, highlighting how safety and well-being in the workplace are complementary elements. During the week, various activities and workshops were organized at all the Group's headquarters and operating sites, with the aim of raising awareness and promoting this culture. From a technical and operational point of view, particular attention has been paid to high-risk work (e.g. work at height, confined spaces, lifting activities). In this context, the powering down and isolation of machinery and equipment are basic prerequisites, as is the work permit to assess safety and authorise the execution of the task. Specific training sessions, safety drills, questionnaires and risk assessment tests were carried out to emphasise that knowledge, tools and processes are essential for safe operation.

During the first half of the year, the planned improvement actions regarding the Group's commitment to WASH - (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) continued. The specific multi-year plan aims to improve access to drinking water and sanitation for all workers at workplaces whose operational control is our responsibility.

Environment

Responsible and efficient management of water resources, minimisation and control of energy consumption, the use of alternative fuels (e.g. biomass) and the use of raw materials and components with a lower environmental impact are key elements of the Group's sustainability strategy. The results for the first half of 2025 are substantially in line with the objectives and the planned path.

The ISO 14001 certification plan, which is the Group's reference management framework, continued with the aim of completing it, for the cement sector, by the end of 2025. To this end, the relevant preparatory activities for certification for the sites in the USA were started. To date, 82% of cement plants are ISO 14001 certified.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Changes in the workforce

At 30 June 2025, the Group had 3,103 employees, an increase of 23 compared to 30 June 2024, mainly due to the strengthening of production activities in Türkiye.

Organisation

As at 30 June 2025, the Group's organisational model comprises several territorial areas:

  • Nordic & Baltic
  • North America
  • Asia Pacific
  • Türkiye
  • Egypt
  • Belgium

and Holding and Services within which Spartan Hive acts as a dedicated business unit.

Amsterdam is the registered office of Holding which regulates the aforementioned regions and operating companies, while the Rome office remains the secondary and operational headquarters.

Holding governs these regions and operating companies. The General Manager of the Group is entrusted with overseeing the main operating undertakings of the company, allowing the Group CEO to focus on business activities with a strategic impact, such as mergers and acquisitions.

During the first half of the year, the organisational structures defined in previous years were confirmed to secure certain key processes and to improve the overall efficiency of organisational structures through the application of standard organisational models. The implementation of standard operating models (processes, organisation and systems) focused on the technical structure continues with the "Maintenance 4.0", "Warehouse 4.0" and "Production 4.0" programmes. The commitment to the "Business Process Reengineering (BPR)" Programme, aimed at standardising and rationalising business processes and systems, as well as sharing best practices within the Group, was also confirmed.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Cementir Group's Internal Control and Risk Management System is defined as the set of tools, organisational structure, procedures and company rules to guarantee, through an adequate process of identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks, correct and consistent business management with objectives set in terms of:

  • compliance with laws and regulations;
  • safeguarding of corporate assets;
  • operating activity effectiveness and efficiency;
  • reporting accuracy and completeness.

The Internal Control and Risk Management System adopts a "top-down" and "risk-based" approach that starts from the definition of the Cementir Group's Business Plan. It ensures that the main risks are identified, assessed and monitored taking into account each business unit, to create a fully integrated risk management process. Risks are assessed with quantitative and qualitative tools considering both the probability of occurrence and the impacts that would be generated in a given time horizon if the risk were to occur. It also ensures that all necessary measures are taken to control risks that could threaten the Group's assets, its ability to generate profits or achieve its objectives.

Roles and responsibilities in risk management have been defined starting from the Company's Board of Directors, which defines strategy, policy and risk appetite, supported by the Audit Committee and the Sustainability Committee. In addition, management teams from the group companies are involved, with responsibility for risk management within their area of expertise.

Below is a summary of the people and bodies involved and their responsibilities:

  • The Board of Directors plays the central role, defining the Group's risk appetite, the nature and level of risk. In addition, it carries out an assessment of the risks related to climate change ensuring the constant compatibility of management and strategic objectives.
  • The Audit Committee and the Sustainability Committee (corporate bodies relevant in the risk definition process) support the Board of Directors, subject to a favourable opinion, in the definition and management of risks;
  • CEO & Chairman: implements the general guidelines of the Board of Directors, ensuring the identification, management and monitoring of the main risks;
  • Risk owners, or the first level of control, are primarily responsible for internal control and risk management activities;
  • Finally, Risk Management and Internal Audit are the main responsible for the internal control and risk management system (second and third level of control). They are responsible for verifying that the Internal Control and Risk Management System is functioning and adequate with respect to the size and operations of the Group, verifying, in particular, that the Management has identified the main risks, that they have been evaluated in a consistent manner and that the appropriate mitigation actions have been defined and implemented.

The Cementir Group's Internal Control and Risk Management System is integrated into the Group's organisational, administrative, accounting and governance structure and has been prepared on the basis of the principles laid down by the Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework, an international standard developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO Report), also ensuring greater detail in the identification of the risks of the companies and Group and integration with the results of the Audit activities. The methodology followed involves an iterative process consisting of the following steps:

  • Risk identification: the process starts with the definition of the Industrial Plan and focuses on the main risks that could compromise the achievement of the Group's objectives;
  • Risk assessment: for each identified risk, management gives an inherent risk assessment (in the absence of controls/mitigation actions), in terms of probability and impact during the horizon of the Industrial Plan, using a 5-level assessment system (scoring):
    • Impact: scale from 1 (Negligible) to 5 (Extreme);
    • Probability: scale from 1 (Rare) to 5 (More than Likely)
  • With regard to impact, three parameters are considered: economic (quantitative), operational (qualitative), reputational (qualitative). Management at Region and Group level assesses the potential impacts and likelihood of major risks that could have a material adverse effect on the company's current or future operations. For sustainability and climate-related risks, the time horizon was extended to a longterm view for the analysis of various threats that could jeopardise the implementation of the Group's climate transition plan;
  • Identification and assessment of the adequacy of the existing principals: for each identified risk, all the controls/actions currently in place for risk mitigation are identified with the management;
  • Residual Risk Assessment: taking into account the individual controls for each risk and the relative adequacy, the residual risk is calculated by applying a uniform calculation methodology to all Group companies;
  • Identification of further actions: in the event that the residual risk is higher than the predefined level of risk appetite, further actions are agreed with management to mitigate the risk and contain it within acceptable levels. The initiatives are taken promptly and within budget limits, to effectively contribute to risk mitigation;
  • Risk mitigation: Mitigation strategies are defined with specific action plans for key risks;
  • Reporting: reports are prepared at the company and Group level, showing the main risks and initiatives taken by management to reduce the risks to acceptable levels;
  • Monitoring: the following are reviewed periodically: existing risk assessments, assessment parameters, and new risks can be identified if necessary.

The model, as described, subject to further and future updates, aims to provide support for the decision-making and operational processes of the company management, so as to reduce the possibility that specific events could compromise the Group's ordinary operations or the achievement of its strategic objectives.

To this end, the risk appetite level adopted in relation to strategic risks is consistent with the "vision" of creating value, while always respecting the environment and promoting integration with local communities. In relation to operational risks, the risk appetite level is defined on the basis of the effectiveness and efficiency targets set by the management.

Provisions for compliance and financial reporting are different. The Group does not accept an assumption of non-compliance risk for laws and regulations (including those relating to safety), and of possible alterations to the integrity of financial reporting.

The Cementir Group's Internal Control and Risk Management System is integrated with the Group's Sustainability Strategy. Starting from 2021 the Cementir Group has launched a project to implement the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure) committing to be transparent on risks and opportunities related to climate change. The identification, assessment and effective management of risks and opportunities related to climate change are fully integrated into the Group's risk management process. To promote and improve its climate change disclosure, in 2022, the Group engaged Standard & Poor's (S&P) to assess physical and transitional climate risks and develop scenario analyses to support the implementation of the TCFD guidelines. The analysis carried out by S&P showed that the Cementir Group scored 100% on the overall assessment of the eleven recommendations of the TCFD, which represents a complete and transparent level of disclosure achieved. Furthermore, the Group is integrating the guidelines published by the European Union "EU Taxonomy Regulation", which together with the TCFD constitute the reference frameworks. For more details, see the paragraph "Main risks to which the group is exposed".

In relation to accounting and financial reporting, the existing Internal Control System ensures its accuracy and completeness through constantly updated administrative and accounting procedures.

Furthermore, as part of the compliance activities with the COSO structure, during the year, the Internal Audit function carries out audit activities on the aforementioned procedures to ascertain that the provided key controls are being correctly applied by the involved company structures. The assessment of the internal control system on financial reporting provided for by Cementir Group procedures was carried out based on this activity.

On the basis of the activity carried out by the Internal Audit department and the related results, the Audit Committee assessed the Internal Control and Risk Management System as adequate, effective and appropriate for dealing with business, operational, environmental, financial and compliance risks.

As of October 2023, the Group has launched the strategic initiative for the digitalisation of Risk Management, aimed at improving the resilience of the organisation by leveraging advanced technological solutions, simplifying data-driven risk assessments and implementing real-time monitoring capabilities, promoting a proactive and agile approach to risk mitigation across all business functions. The digitisation of Risk Management was completed during 2024. All Group companies have adopted the new IT tool for identifying, assessing and mitigating risks.

RISK CATEGORIES

The Group is subject to various risks and uncertainties. The risk library is the basis for the company's risk assessment process. The most important risks and their categorisation (strategic, operational, compliance, financial and sustainability) have been listed to facilitate the identification of the main risk categories that may have an impact on the Group.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FRAUD RISK MANAGEMENT

This risk relates to intentional acts perpetrated with deception by one or more members of management, those responsible for governance activities and/or employees, alone or with third parties, in order to obtain unlawful advantages. Fraud, whether false financial reporting or misappropriation of company assets, implies the existence of incentives or pressure to commit it and the perception of an opportunity to do so.

The intrinsic nature of the Group's business introduces potential vulnerabilities to fraud and corruption, in addition to those to which any significant company is exposed, which can be summarised as follows: (i) fraudulent activities in financial transactions, such as misappropriation of funds or fraudulent invoicing; (ii) the risks of collusion or conflicts of interest extend to relationships with suppliers, customers and employees, amplifying the potential for fraudulent activities; (iii) non-compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations; (iv) the theft or mismanagement of stock leading to financial loss. The potential impact of fraud risks, if realised, can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory consequences.

Top Management, supported by the Internal Audit team, identifies potential fraud risks in advance. The process involves conducting interviews, surveys, examining business sources, analysing industry trends and evaluating external references, such as country risk (e.g., level of corruption and specific laws). The source for country risk is the Corruption Perception Index1 , where the country risk rate is identified on a scale from 0 to 100. Based on the score identified, different levels of risk are assigned, from high to low.

After the risks have been identified in advance, the Group shall assess them, considering both the likelihood and the impact. To mitigate the risk, the Group has implemented a combination of preventive, investigative and corrective measures to minimise exposure to fraudulent activities.

1 https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2024

Cementir is constantly striving to improve its internal control system and resilience to detect any potential new fraudulent activity by establishing processes, policies and regulatory frameworks.

Among the activities carried out, Cementir assesses and ascertains the compliance of all suppliers and customers with certain minimum standards, as established by the Cementir Ethical Standard. This requires suppliers and customers to maintain accurate financial records and conduct their business with integrity. All suppliers are required to sign the Supplier Code of Conduct, demonstrating their adherence to the Group's Ethical Standards, thereby reducing the risk of fraud within the supply chain.

Being active in many countries, Cementir is subject to different regulations and jurisdictions with different legal frameworks and sometimes not fully compatible, including criminal corruption laws. The Group takes these laws and regulations into account, addressing issues such as money laundering and fraud, to ensure compliance and address any instances of non-compliance.

The Group has adopted a whistleblowing system that can be used on a platform operated by third parties, to encourage customers, suppliers and/or employees to promptly report suspicious activities without fear of retaliation, facilitating early detection and reduction of fraud risks. Full information on this system, including details on the channels to be used, can be found on the Group's official website: https://www.cementirholding.com/it/governance/etica-e-compliance.

All these activities are carried out with the support of the Internal Audit function, which conducts regular inspections and performance reviews. Furthermore, Internal Audit conducts a thorough analysis of potential fraud risks during the risk assessment phase, when formulating the audit plan. Priority is given to areas considered at risk, with a focus on the assessment of identified fraud risks, including the probability of occurrence and possible impacts. All operational and compliance audits (in particular L. 262) include a preliminary assessment of the ability of the internal control system to prevent potential fraud. Following the results of the audit, all actions and control measures agreed with the Management have the primary objective of securing the process from exposure to fraud and thus making it more effective. In the assessments, all reports emerging from whistleblowing channels and cases of fraud detected in the last 12 months are also taken into account.

The mitigation of the risk of fraud is also guaranteed by the activities conducted by the Ethics Committee (a committee appointed by the Board of Directors), which on a quarterly basis, analyses the results of the investigative activities carried out by the Internal Audit and verifies the implementation of disciplinary, organisational and operational actions for each individual case of violation. The Ethics Committee reports on its work to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Another important mitigation measure is the adoption and use of a data mining tool called Celonis. This tool proves to be crucial for spotting unusual patterns or trends in financial transactions. The Group, in fact, implements segregation of duties as an operational practice, making it difficult for an individual to carry out and conceal fraudulent activities.

The measures implemented aim to significantly reduce vulnerability to fraud and corruption within operations.

MAIN RISKS TO WHICH THE GROUP IS EXPOSED

The main types of risks and opportunities to which the Group is exposed are described below.

STRATEGIC RISKS

UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
The results of the business activities are highly dependent on the
economic conditions of the countries of operation:
The international picture is dominated by marked geopolitical

instability and persistent trade tensions. The resulting
uncertainty is a primary risk factor for the global economy,
adversely affecting economic activity and operator confidence.
This scenario has produced tangible effects on the largest

economies. In the United States, the first quarter of 2025 saw
a contraction in GDP, partly due to a temporary and abnormal
increase in imports in anticipation of new tariffs. At the same
time, China's economy is showing signs of weakness, driven
by domestic factors and the first signs of declining exports.

To confirm the deterioration in the economic situation, the
main analysis bodies, including the OECD, revised down their
forecasts for global GDP growth again (+2.9% from the

optimises supply by focusing investment
and resources on solutions that are more
profitable and more resilient to a
contraction in demand, such as low
emission products that benefit from
greater regulatory and market stability;

Demand for building materials is fundamentally driven by economic
growth. These changes in demand may affect volumes, selling
prices and the structure of the industry.
mitigate volatility and secure favourable
energy and logistical costs to defend the
contribution margin.

GEOPOLITICAL RISK

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
The Group operates on five continents and is exposed to political
risks both locally and globally. The geopolitical instability of some
of them (e.g. Türkiye and Egypt) may influence demand trends.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which has now
spread to other states in the Middle East, such as Iran, together
with the continuing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, is
currently the main factor in international geopolitical instability.
Impact on the
Group's
economic/financ
ial results
Continuous monitoring of the environment,
focusing primarily on critical
political/institutional developments and
regulatory aspects that can potentially affect
the business, but geographical differentiation
helps to limit exposure to a particular market
and/or currency.
Alternative markets.
The medium-term outlook remains highly uncertain, with numerous
challenges hampering efforts to identify a path towards de
escalation.
Given the strategic positions of conflicts, the impacts on the world
economy are very significant and will bring:

Market uncertainty;

Transport and logistics costs that are likely to increase,
affecting Group procurement and sales processes;

Bans on sales to sanctioned countries that will affect the
Group's export volumes;

Possible higher oil prices could slow down the global
economy and fuel higher inflation;

Greater social instability.

Restructuring of public spending towards the defence
industry

TALENT AND RETENTION MANAGEMENT

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
Failure to adequately attract, retain and develop talent could
result in the loss of key resources, preventing the Group from
executing its strategy. The Group is currently grappling with a
labour shortage that is affecting some positions.
Difficulty in
achieving
strategic
objectives
due to a lack
of talent.
The Group seeks to attract new people through specific
actions, such as, for example, international mobility and
career development campaigns, such as the Talent
Program and Cementorship Graduate Program
initiatives launched in 2022 and which will continue in
2024 and in the years to come.
In May 2024, the global "Your Voice" survey was
carried out to assess staff engagement across the
Group. Compared to the previous edition, there was a
2% increase in employee participation rate compared to
the 2022 figures (2024 = 98%) and a 1% increase in
employee engagement compared to the 2022 figures
(2024 = 58%).
Initiatives launched by the Group to mitigate risk
include:

the Talent Management programme and the
first edition of the Middle Management
programme;

continuing education activities (e.g. Linkedin
Learning and the Cementir Academy);

Specific actions related to internal
communication, employer branding and
relations with local institutions, schools and
universities (e.g. the Concrete programme in
Türkiye);

Leadership programme in the Group's main
subsidiaries (Aalborg Portland, CCB and
Cimentas);

Constructive relations with unions
representing employees: the Group has also
updated the collective agreement with the
European Working Council for the next four
years;

Promotion of international mobility as part of
talent development strategy;

Constant updating of succession plans to
ensure business continuity.

FINANCIAL RISK

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
The Group operates in a number of different currencies and
changes in exchange rates could affect the Group's business,
EBIT and financial state. The Turkish Lira and the Egyptian
Pound are the major currencies that have depreciated
significantly in recent years.
The Turkish Lira (TRY) recorded the sharpest depreciation:
approximately 32% in the period from 28 June 2024 (€/TRY
35.19) to 30 June 2025 (€/TRY 46.57). As of 1 April 2022, the
Turkish economy is classified as hyperinflationary, according
to the criteria outlined by IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies.
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) also showed a significant
devaluation. Between 28 June 2024 (€/EGP 51.40) and 30
June 2025 (€/EGP 58.42) the impairment loss was
approximately 14%. It should also be remembered that, on 6
March 2024, following the decision of the Central Bank of
Egypt to liberalise the exchange rate, the currency
depreciated by about 61% in a single day (from €/EGP 33.55
to €/EGP 54.01).
Unfavourable
exchange rate
changes could
continue to
adversely affect
Group profits
The Group continuously monitors currencies in
order to seize the opportunities offered by
hedging transactions.
To mitigate potential losses, the Group creates
a balance between local currency bank
accounts and hard currency bank accounts.
Since January 2025, the US Dollar (USD) has progressively
weakened against the Euro, with a change of about 14% (2
January 2025: €/USD 1.03, 30 June 2025: €/USD 1.17),
mainly due to US government tax policy.
These unfavourable changes in the exchange rates used to
translate these currencies into the reporting currency have
had and will continue to have an impact on the Group's
consolidated results.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

HEALTH AND SAFETY

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
The Group operates in a sector that presents inherent health
and safety risks, including, for example, driving heavy
vehicles, working at height, working in confined spaces,
handling live equipment, etc. Failure to ensure safe
workplaces could result in a deterioration in the Group's
safety performance and consequent negative regulatory
actions or legal liabilities. Health and safety incidents could
have a significant impact on the Group's operational and
financial performance, as well as its reputation.
Risk of accidents due to unsafe behaviour or conditions,
which may cause consequences on the health of workers
and/or problems in production processes.
The Group has defined a specific roadmap to 2030, focusing
on increasing employee awareness and involvement and
strengthening internal procedures and related controls.

Group monitoring of H&S performance and
effectiveness of corrective measures.
Periodic verification of the effectiveness of the
main H&S processes for all plants (e.g. work
permits, incident management, etc.).

CYBER SECURITY

DESCRIPTION IMPACT MITIGATION ACTIONS
The Group increasingly relies on information technology
and cloud services to manage and support its operations
and relationships with suppliers and customers.
This trend increases a company's exposure to cyber
attacks, security breaches, data loss, data theft (including
confidential data), also making it more vulnerable to
damage caused by uncontrollable events (e.g. power
outages, natural disasters, network failures).
In recent years, the frequency, complexity and impact of
cyber attacks have increased compared to the past.
The Group is taking prompt action to mitigate and reduce
the effects of this risk.

These are risks related to compliance with applicable
regulations (antitrust, anti-corruption, GDPR, Legislative
Decree 231/2001).
Potential
violations of laws
and regulations
In relation to these risks, the Legal Department
implements targeted programs with guidelines,
procedures and training to ensure compliance with
the above regulations. The Organisation and
Control Models required under Legislative Decree
231/2001 are periodically updated.
The Internal Audit function carries out specific audits
on compliance with regulations.

CLIMATE CHANGE

The cement industry's ability to reduce its CO2 emissions and respond to climate change has become a focal point for investors. In 2021, the Cementir Group has launched a project to implement the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure) committing to be transparent on risks and opportunities related to climate change. Cementir is also committed to ensuring the transparency of its climaterelated risks and opportunities in line with the taxonomy required by the European Union. The identification, assessment and effective management of risks and opportunities related to climate change are fully integrated into the Group's risk management process.

As suggested by the TCFD, the Group monitors the risks and opportunities arising from the evolution of transition scenarios and the evolution of physical variables.

Physical variables are divided into two categories of risk:

  • (a) Acute: related to the occurrence of extreme weather conditions such as cyclones, hurricanes or floods. Acute physical phenomena, in the various cases, are characterised by considerable intensity and a frequency of occurrence that is not high in the short term, but which, considering long-term scenarios, sees a clear upward trend;
  • (b) Chronic: refers to gradual and long-term changes in climate patterns (e.g., sustained high temperatures) that can cause sea-level rises or chronic heat waves.

With regard to the energy transition process, towards a progressive reduction of carbon emissions, there are risks and opportunities linked to changes in the regulatory, technological, market and reputational context.

The Group has decided to align itself to the TCFD framework to clearly represent the types of risks and opportunities by indicating how each of them should be managed. The effects were assessed over three time horizons: the short term (1-3 years), linked to the implementation of the Business Plan; the medium term until 2030 during which it will be possible to see the effects of the energy transition; the long term until 2050, during which the Group undertakes to achieve net-zero emissions throughout its value chain. As the TCFD states, the process of disclosing risks and opportunities related to climate change will be gradual and incremental from year to year.

CHRONIC AND ACUTE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA:

As part of its climate commitments, the
Group has defined its policy on water
management. Maximising its
reuse/recycling, minimising withdrawals
and consumption (including losses) and the
implementation of efficient operating

The Group has set targets to improve
specific water consumption in cement
production (water consumption (litres) /
TCE (ton of cement equivalent))
In 2024, the targets were updated and now
call for a 30% reduction in specific water
consumption by 2030, compared to the
2019 value (previously the targets called
for a 25% reduction). The target to reduce
specific water consumption in high water
stress areas remains unchanged at 25 per
cent by 2030, compared to the 2019 value.
In 2022, by becoming a signatory to the
WASH Pledge, the Group committed to
ensuring access to WASH (water,
sanitation and sanitation) at an appropriate
level of standard for all employees and
contractors at all locations under direct
control, supporting partners across value
chains and communities. Compliance and
progress of WASH action plans are
monitored periodically.

TRANSITION RISKS AND RELATED OPPORTUNITIES

In recent years, the whole Group has been actively engaged in pursuing a transition to a low-carbon economy by defining a 10-year Roadmap.

Carbon Capture
"CCS"
TECHNOLOGY
Technology is the main driver to significantly reduce
the company's CO2 emissions in the medium to long
term. The adoption of innovative technologies is
essential to achieve "net zero emissions" cement
production.
The Company places emphasis on the development
and implementation of carbon capture and storage
(CCS) technology as a key component in achieving its
CO2 emission reduction targets. Currently, the Group is
exploring various opportunities, mainly in Denmark and
Belgium.
In October 2024, the carbon capture and storage
project developed by Aalborg Portland and Air Liquide
was selected by the European Commission to receive
a EUR 220 million contribution under the EU
Innovation Fund. The grant agreement was officially
signed in March 2025.
The project, which is scheduled to be operational by
the end of 2029, will reduce emissions from Aalborg
Portland by approximately 1.5 million tons per year.
Previously, Aalborg Portland's target was to capture at
least 400,000 tons of CO2 per year, thereby
contributing to both the company's emission reduction
targets and the Danish government's objectives to
reduce Denmark's greenhouse gas emissions by 70%
by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
The know-how acquired by the Group in this area can
be used to develop a carbon capture and storage
system at its Belgian subsidiary, CCB, from 2032.
The successful implementation of this innovative
technology also depends on exogenous factors outside
the company's control, such as CO2 transport and
storage infrastructure, public acceptance and climate
regulations, which could directly influence and
potentially delay the project.
Moreover, as this is an innovative technology not yet
used in any cement plant in the world, there is a risk
related to its performance. If the technology does not
work as planned, the planned CO2 reductions may not
be achieved.
Continued support for
research and innovation for
the development of CCS and
the use of CAPEX/OPEX for
the full industrialisation of
these technologies.

REPUTATION
According to the Global Cement and Concrete
Association, the cement industry is responsible for
about 7% of global CO2 emissions. The risk of being
perceived as a major carbon emitter by the public

stakeholders.
In addition, the growing expectations of stakeholders
regarding climate goals must be constantly monitored.
Cementir is committed to
ensuring that its targets are
always aligned with the latest
scientific developments.
In this regard, in February
2024, the Group received
validation of its short- and
long-term climate targets by
the Science Based Target
initiative (SBTi), which
confirmed their consistency
with the 1.5°C scenario. In
addition, SBTi approved
Cementir's overall net zero
emissions target by 2050.

POLICY & REGULATION
Following the Paris Climate Agreement (COP21),
signatory countries are required to commit to an
emission reduction path. It is expected that this will
lead to increased regulations, thereby increasing the
costs associated with CO2 emissions.

carbon prices due to the new regulations is uncertain
and regulations
and will vary from country to country.
This risk was assessed through different price
scenarios (high, medium and low) based on carbon
price projections in each country, taking into account
the introduction of carbon capture and storage (CCS)
technology from 2030.
At the same time, the transition to a decarbonised
economy, driven by new standards and regulations,
could increase the Group's demand for low-carbon
products.
The Group minimises its
exposure to the risk of new
taxes and regulations by:

implementing its
Roadmap for
Sustainability, which
aims to achieve carbon
neutrality by 2050;

developing low-carbon
products that meet the
requirements of the new
regulations;

maintaining a constant

POLICY & REGULATION
If initiatives such as the Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM) are not enough to protect the
European Union's competitiveness, the cement
business could face price pressure due to imports from
regions with less stringent CO2 regulations. On the
contrary, the introduction of this tax could create a
competitive advantage over other non-EU cement
companies in terms of price. In recent years, the
quantities of cement imported into Europe have
increased compared to the past.

Medium Term RISK
Scarcity of raw
materials
MARKET
The supply of alternative raw materials, such as fly ash
and blast furnace slag, has become increasingly
critical due to declining steel production and the
gradual closure of coal-fired power plants. In the
medium term, the phasing out of coal-fired power
plants in Europe could lead to a fly ash shortage.
Another strategic material for the achievement of the
Group's objectives is calcined clay, which is essential
for the production of FUTURECEM and for the
reduction of the clinker ratio. Today, there are a limited
number of suppliers. With the development of low
carbon products, the demand for these materials will
grow, making the Group more dependent on their
prices and availability.
In order to reduce the
shortage of these materials,
the Group is securing its
supply through long-term
contracts; search for new
suppliers and partial
replacement of fly ash with
similar materials available on
the market (e.g. oxytone).
Another strategy implemented
is to secure clay quarries for
the production of
FUTURECEM.
Medium Term RISK
Biomass shortage
MARKET
Biomass plays a strategic role in implementing the
Group's Sustainability Roadmap and ensuring
compliance with European emission regulations.
In the medium to long term, the increasing demand for
high-quality biomass could cause supply difficulties
and price increases.
In addition, the use of biomass in the Group's plants
will require local investments for improvements and/or
modifications of the facilities, which are necessary to
increase their use.
In order to reduce the
shortage of these fuels, the
Group is securing its supply
through long-term contracts.

Innovation is a key factor in the long-term success of
the company developing low-carbon products. To meet
market demand, Cementir Group has developed new
types of Cement (e.g. FUTURECEM) that reduce CO2
emissions by 30% compared to traditional cement.
The Group meets the needs
of customers along the value
chain by developing and
delivering products, solutions
and technologies that address
the key challenges facing the
construction industry.
The Group continuously
develops and introduces new
low emission products:
increasing the use of

Recovery and
purification of
water used in

operations
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
The recovery and purification of the water removed
during the exploitation of the limestone quarries in
Belgium (Clypot and Gaurain) represents an
opportunity, because it allows local communities to
save the aquifer in an area of high water stress and
allocate it to civil uses.
This recovery increases the company's resilience to
future regulatory changes, reduces the risk of conflicts
with other stakeholders using the same aquifer (e.g.,
villagers, customers), and contributes to the
sustainable management of water resources.
In Clypot, the entire system has been operational since
March 2021, and in 2024, almost 1,500 megalitres of
drinking water were successfully recovered, treated
and distributed.
In 2024, Cementir started the recovery of water from
the quarry no longer in use of Gaurain, obtaining a first
result of 139 thousand m³; the target is to reach a total
of 1.7 million m³ from this site.

Increased water
supplies up to
4,000,000 m3 per
year thanks to
investments made
in Clypot and

OTHER INFORMATION

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The Cementir Holding Group used some alternative performance indicators to enable a better assessment of the performance of economic management and the capital and financial situation. In line with that established in the ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines, the meaning and contents of those indicators are noted below.

  • EBITDA: is an indicator of operating performance calculated by adding together "EBIT" and "Amortisation, depreciation, impairment losses and provisions";
  • Net financial debt: represents an indicator of the financial structure and is calculated as the sum of the items in accordance with Consob Communication 6064293/2006, updated on the basis of Communication No. 5/21 of 29 April 2021 in implementation of the recommendations contained in paragraph 175 of ESMA Recommendation 32-382-1138 of 4 March 2021:
    • Current financial assets;
    • Cash and cash equivalents;
    • Current and non-current financial liabilities.
  • Net capital employed: is calculated as the total amount of non-financial assets, net of non-financial liabilities.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

With regard to related-party transactions, as defined by IAS 24, the Group did not conduct any atypical and/or unusual transactions. All business and financial dealings with related parties were conducted on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions.

The Group did not conduct any significant or material transactions concerning related-party transactions. Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements provides an analysis of transactions with related parties.

TREASURY SHARES

The number of treasury shares held following the completion of the share buy-back programme in October 2021 did not change.

It should be noted that under the Programme, between 15 October 2020 and 12 October 2021 (ends included), 3,600,000 treasury shares, equal to 2.2624% of the share capital, were purchased on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. at a weighted average price of EUR 8.1432 per share and for a total outlay of EUR 29,315 thousand.

MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

Cementir Holding NV sets its general and operational strategies independently. In particular, the Board of Directors of Cementir Holding NV has sole responsibility for reviewing and approving strategic, commercial and financial plans, and for overseeing the adequacy of organisational, administrative and accounting structures.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Also due to the entry into force of the relevant legislation (EU Regulation 679/2016) as well as following Legislative Decree 101 of 10 August 2018, the Parent Company has equipped itself with operational tools and internal regulations to ensure the protection of personal data according to the expected regulatory standards.

Subsequently, it implemented and completed a project to update its policy on the subject and is currently engaged in strengthening its safeguards, including IT, for the protection of personal data.

LITIGATION

The Company is responsible for leading the defence in proceedings, of which it is not a party in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in a settlement agreement with Italcementi S.p.A., relating to the sale of the shares of Cementir Italia S.p.A. (today Cemitaly S.p.A.), Cementir Sacci S.p.A. (today Italsacci S.p.A.) and Betontir S.p.A., finalised on 2 January 2018.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

No significant facts occurred after the half year ended.

MANAGEMENT OPERATING OUTLOOK

The macroeconomic scenario remains characterised by a high degree of uncertainty, exacerbated by the recent protectionist measures taken by the US administration, which could affect the growth rate of the global economy later this year.

Despite these critical issues, the Group believes that it can confirm the economic and financial objectives set for the year 2025, i.e. to achieve consolidated revenues of approximately EUR 1.75 billion; an EBITDA of about EUR 415 million and a net cash position of about EUR 410 million at the end of the period. These forecasts exclude any non-recurring components and are determined on a like-for-like basis.

Planned investments amount to about EUR 98 million (EUR 125.4 million in 2024), of which about EUR 14 million in sustainability projects. Research and development expenditure is expected to remain stable compared to 2024, as is the average number of employees. The Group does not expect the need for new external financing, given the cash generation and net cash position expected by the end of the year.

These forward-looking statements do not include: i) the impacts of the application of IAS 29; ii) any nonrecurring items; (iii) the impact of any deterioration in the geopolitical situation or other extraordinary events.

The foregoing solely reflects the views of the company's management, and does not constitute a guarantee, promise, operational suggestion or even investment advice. Therefore, it should not be taken as a forecast on future market trends and of any financial instruments concerned.

RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT TO THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT

The Board of Directors is responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report, including the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the Directors' report, pursuant to Dutch Financial Supervision Act and in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for IAS34-Interim Financial Statements.

2025 Half-Year Financial Report Cementir Holding NV | 51

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General information

On 28 June 2019, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved the transformation of the company Cementir Holding SpA from a joint-stock company under Italian law into a Naamloze Vennootschap under Dutch law, consequent to the transfer of the registered office to Amsterdam (36, Zuidplein, 1077 XV). The transfer and transformation process was completed on 5 October 2019.

On that date the Board of Directors resolved to establish an operational and secondary headquarters in Rome, at 200 Corso Francia. The company's tax residence remained in Italy. As part of this transformation, Management aligned the equity composition from the Italian Law requirements with the Dutch Civil Code requirements.

The company remained listed on the STAR segment of the Milan Stock Exchange.

Cementir Holding NV (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries make up the Cementir Holding Group (the "Group"), mainly active in the cement and ready-mixed concrete sector in Italy and around the world.

At 30 June 2025 shareholders holding shares exceeding 3% of share capital, as indicated in the book of shareholders, from communications received pursuant to Art.5:28 of Financial Supervision Act and other information available, are:

This half-year financial report at 30 June 2025 was approved on 29 July 2025 by the Board of Directors. This half-year financial report was authorised for publication by the Board of Directors on 7 August 2025.

Cementir Holding NV is fully consolidated in the consolidated half-year financial statements of the Caltagirone group. At the date of preparation of this report, the ultimate Parent is FGC SpA due to the shares held via its subsidiaries.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2025 include the abbreviated half-yearly financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the individual companies at the same date prepared by their directors were used for the consolidation.

Going Concern

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption.

Statement of compliance with the IFRS/IAS

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements to 30 June 2025, which have been prepared on the going concern basis for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), endorsed by the European Commission and in force at the financial statements date, and Section 2:362(9) of the Dutch Civil Code.

In particular, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34, do not include all the information required by the annual financial statements and must be read together with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 filed at the registered office of Cementir Holding NV in Amsterdam (36, Zuidplein, 1077 XV) and available on the website www.cementirholding.com.

The accounting principles adopted for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those adopted for the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, with the exception of the new principles applicable as of 1 January 2025, the effects of which on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are described below.

Some parts of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements contain alternative indicators that are not indicators of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. These are commonly referred to as alternative (non-IFRS) performance indicators and include items such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and earnings before income tax (EBIT). The Company calculates EBITDA before provisions.

Basis of presentation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2025 are presented in euros, the Parent's functional currency. All amounts are expressed in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise. The consolidated financial statements consist of a statement of financial position, an income statement, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity, a statement of cash flows and these notes. The Group has opted to present these statements as follows:

  • the statement of financial position presents current and non-current assets and liabilities separately;
  • the income statement classifies costs by nature;
  • the statement of comprehensive income presents the effect of gains and losses recognised directly in equity, starting from the profit or loss for the year;
  • the statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.

The general criterion adopted is the historical cost method, except for items recognised and measured at fair value based on specific IFRS, as described below in the section on accounting policies.

The IFRS have been applied consistently with the guidance provided in the "Framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements". The Group was not required to make any departures as per IAS 1.19.

In the financial statements, in addition to those specifically requested by IAS 1 and the other standards, when material, so as to show transactions with related parties separately or, in the case of the income statement, profits and losses on non-recurring or unusual transactions.

TÜRKIYE - hyperinflated economy: impacts of the application of IAS 29

As of June 2022, the Turkish economy is considered hyperinflationary according to the criteria set out in "IAS 29-Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".

For the purpose of preparing these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain non-monetary items in the balance sheets of the investee companies in Türkiye and the income statement items have been remeasured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data, in order to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the Turkish Lira at the balance sheet date of these companies.

Bearing in mind that the Cementir Group acquired control of the Turkish companies in September 2001, and that they applied hyperinflation until 31/12/2004, the re-measurement of the non-monetary balance sheet data of these companies' financial statements was carried out by applying inflation indices from that date.

The cumulative levels of the general consumer price indices are as follows:

  • From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2024: 2,258%
  • From 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025: 17%

The accounting effects of this adjustment, in addition to already being reflected in the opening balance sheet as of 1 January 2025, incorporate the changes for the period. In particular, the effect related to the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity items, and income statement items recognised in the first half of 2025 was recognised in a separate income statement item under financial income and expenses. The related tax effect of non-cash assets was recognised in taxes for the period.

To take into account the impact of hyperinflation also on the local currency exchange rate, profit and loss account balances expressed in hyperinflationary currencies have been converted into euro, the Cementir Group's presentation currency, applying the exchange rate at the end of the period instead of the average exchange rate for the period, in line with IAS 21's requirement to report these amounts at current values.

In the first half of 2025, the application of IAS 29 resulted in the recognition of a net financial burden (pre-tax) of EUR 4.2 million.

Below are the effects of IAS 29 on the Income Statement for the first half of 2025, differentiating between the revaluation based on general consumer price indices and the application of the final exchange rate, rather than the average exchange rate for the period, as required by IAS 21 for hyperinflationary economies:

Basis of consolidation

Consolidation scope

The scope of consolidation includes the Parent, Cementir Holding NV, and the companies over which it has direct or indirect control.

Subsidiaries subject to direct or indirect control include companies for which the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The existence of potential voting rights is considered when determining whether control exists.

A list of the companies included in the scope of consolidation at 30 June 2025 is provided in annex 1.

Translation of financial statements of foreign operations

The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are prepared using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency).

The financial statements of group companies operating outside the eurozone are translated into euros using the closing rate for the statement of financial position items and the average annual rate for the income statement items if no major fluctuations are detected in the reference period, in which case the exchange rate on the date of the transaction applies. For Turkish subsidiaries, please refer to that explained in the paragraph "Türkiye — Hyperinflated Economy: impacts of the application of IAS 29". Translation differences arising on the adjustment of opening equity at the closing spot rates and the differences arising from the different methods used to translate profit for the year are recognised in equity through the statement of comprehensive income and shown separately in a special reserve.

When a foreign operation is sold, the translation differences accumulated in the specific equity reserve are reclassified to profit or loss.

The main exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of companies with functional currencies other than the euro are as follows:

1st Half 2025 31 December 2024 1st Half 2024
Final Average Finale Average
Turkish lira – TRY * 46.57 41.09 36.74 34.24

(*) For Turkish subsidiaries, please see the section "Türkiye - hyperinflated economy: impacts of the application of IAS 29".

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to use accounting policies and methods that are sometimes based on difficult and subjective judgements, estimates based on past experience and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic in the circumstances. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts presented in the financial statements and disclosures. The actual results for which these estimates and assumptions were used may differ due to the uncertainties that characterise the assumptions and the conditions on which the estimates were based.

The accounting policies and financial statements items that require greater subjective judgement by management when making estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions could have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements are the following:

  • Intangible assets with indefinite life: goodwill is tested for impairment annually to identify any impairment losses to be recognised in the income statement. Specifically, this test involves determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated by estimating their value in use or fair value less costs of disposal; If this recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount of the CGUs, the goodwill allocated to them must be written down. Allocation of goodwill to the CGUs and determination of their fair value involves the use of estimates that rely on factors that may change over time, with potentially significant effects compared to the valuations made by management.
  • Amortisation and depreciation of non-current assets: amortisation and depreciation are significant costs for the Group. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated systematically over the assets' estimated useful life. The economic useful life of the Group's fixed assets is determined by the directors at the time the fixed asset was acquired; it is based on historical experience for similar fixed assets, market conditions and anticipations regarding future events that may impact useful life, including changes in technology. As such, effective useful life may differ from estimated useful life. The Group regularly assesses technological and sector changes, dismantlement costs and the recoverable amount to update useful life. This regular update could lead to a change in the depreciation period and, therefore, the amount of depreciation in future years. Management regularly reviews the estimates and assumptions and the effects of each change are recognised in the income statement. When the review affects current and future years, the change is recognised in the year in which it is made and in the related future years, as explained in more detail in the next section.
  • Dismantling and removing provisions: the Group incurs significant liabilities related to the obligations to decommission tangible assets and restore the land environment at the end of production activity. Estimating future decommissioning and restoration costs is a complex process and requires the management's judgement in assessing the liabilities that will be incurred many years from now to meet decommissioning and restoration obligations, which are often not fully defined by laws, administrative regulations or contractual clauses. Moreover, these obligations are affected by the constant updating of decommissioning and restoration techniques and costs, as well as by the continuous evolution of political and public awareness of health and environmental protection. The determination of the discount rate to be used both in the initial measurement of the charge and in subsequent measurements, as well as the forecast of the timing of the disbursements and their possible updating, are the result of a complex process that involves the exercise of professional judgement by management.
  • Purchase Price Allocation: as part of business combinations, the identifiable assets purchased and the liabilities assumed are recognised in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on the acquisition date, through a Purchase price allocation process, against the consideration transferred to acquire the control of a company, which corresponds to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, as well as of capital instruments issued. During the measurement period, the calculation of the aforementioned their values requires Directors to make estimates on the information available on all facts and circumstances that exist on the acquisition date and may affect the value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
  • Estimate of the fair value of investment property: at each reporting data investment property is measured at fair value and is not subject to depreciation. When determining their fair value, the Directors based their valuation on assumptions about the trend of the reference real estate market in particular. Such assumptions may vary over time, influencing evaluations and forecasts to be performed by the Directors.

Changes in accounting policies, errors and changes in estimates

The Company modifies the accounting policies adopted from one reporting period to another only if the change is required by a standard or contributes to providing more reliable and relevant information about the effects of transactions on the company's financial position, performance and cash flows.

Changes in accounting policies are recognised retrospectively in the opening balance of each affected component of equity for the earliest prior period presented. Other comparative amounts shown for each previous period presented are adjusted as if the new accounting policy had always been applied. The prospective approach is only applied when it is impracticable to reconstruct the comparative amounts.

The application of a new or amended accounting standard is accounted for as required by the standard. If the standard does not govern the transition method, the change is accounted for retrospectively or, if impracticable, on a prospective basis.

This same approach is applied to material errors. Non-material errors are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the error is identified.

Changes in estimates are recognised prospectively in the income statement in the period in which the change takes place, if it only affects that period, or in the period in which the change takes place and subsequent periods, if the change also affects these periods.

Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risks related to its operations, namely:

Credit risk

The Group is not particularly exposed to credit risk, despite operating in different geographical markets, as it is not overly exposed to a limited number of positions. Moreover, its operating procedures require checks on credit risk, with the sale of products and/or services limited to customers with suitable credit ratings and guarantees.

Receivables are recognised net of the loss allowance, calculated considering the rules set out by IFRS 9, as mentioned above. Therefore, the maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying amount.

With respect to bank deposits and derivatives, the Group has always worked with leading counterparties, thus limiting its credit risk in this sense.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk concerns the availability of financial resources and access to credit market and financial instruments.

Specifically, the Group monitors and manages its cash flows, funding requirements and liquidity levels in order to ensure the effective and efficient use of its financial resources.

It meets its liquidity requirements for investing activities, working capital and the payment of amounts payable drawing on cash flows generated constantly by its operating activities and on credit facilities.

The Group aims to maintain its ability to generate cash flows through operating activities, given the current market conditions. In fact, thanks to its strong financial position, any unplanned financial requirements can be funded through its access to credit facilities.

Market risk

Market risk mainly concerns exchange rates, interest rates and raw materials costs, as the Group operates internationally in areas with different currencies.

The Group monitors the financial risks to which it is exposed regularly so as to assess in advance any potential impacts and take the most suitable action to mitigate them; derivative financial instruments are also used for this purpose.

Currency risk

Group companies operate internationally; as such they are structurally exposed to currency risk for cash flows from operating activities and financing operations in currencies other than the functional currency.

The Group's operating activities are exposed differently to changes in exchange rates: in particular the cement sector is exposed to currency risk on both revenues, for exports, and costs to purchase solid fuels in USD; whereas the ready-mixed concrete sector is less exposed as both revenue and costs are in local currency. The Group assesses the natural hedging of cash flows and financing for these risks and purchases currency forwards and currency put and call options for hedging purposes. Transactions involving derivatives are performed for hedging purposes.

The Group's presentation currency is the euro. As a result, it is exposed to currency risk in relation to the translation of the financial statements of consolidated companies based in countries outside the Economic Monetary Area (except for Denmark whose currency is historically tied to the euro). The income statements of these companies are translated into euros using the average annual rate in the event that changes in value are not significant, and changes in exchange rates may affect the value in euros, even when the revenue and profits in local currency remain unchanged. Pursuant to the IFRS, translation differences on assets and liabilities are recognised directly in equity in the translation reserve (note 13).

For information on the accounting effects of hyperinflation applied to investee companies in Türkiye, please see the section "Türkiye — hyperinflated economy: impacts of the application of IAS 29".

Interest rate risk

As the Group has net financial debt, it is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. The Group purchases interest rate swaps to partly hedge the risk after assessing forecast interest rates and timeframes for the repayment of debt by using estimated cash flows.

The Group's operating and financial policies aim to minimise the impact of these risks on its performance.

Raw materials price risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in raw materials prices. It manages this risk through supply agreements with Italian and foreign suppliers which set prices and quantities for roughly 12 months. It also uses suppliers in different geographical areas to avoid the risk of supply chain concentration and to obtain the most competitive prices.

In addition, in order to limit exposure to the risk of fluctuating market prices, the Group uses derivative contracts.

Also refer to note 32) for quantitative information on risks.

Uncertainties

The macroeconomic scenario remains characterised by a high degree of uncertainty, exacerbated by the recent protectionist measures taken by the US administration, which could affect the growth rate of the global economy later this year.

The Group operates on five continents and is exposed to political risks both locally and globally. The geopolitical instability of some of them (e.g. Türkiye and Egypt) may influence demand trends. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which has now spread to other states in the Middle East, such as Iran, together with the continuing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, is currently the main factor in international geopolitical instability. The medium-term outlook remains highly uncertain, with numerous challenges hampering efforts to identify a path towards de-escalation.

The Group, with the support of the relevant departments:

  • actively monitors market conditions in order to anticipate any adverse scenarios;
  • optimises supply by focusing investment and resources on solutions that are more profitable and more resilient to a contraction in demand, such as low-emission products that benefit from greater regulatory and market stability;
  • implements strict operating cost discipline including through the conclusion of long-term contracts to mitigate volatility and secure favourable energy and logistical costs to defend the contribution margin.

Based on the evidence currently available and the scenarios that can be modelled, there are no expected significant 'direct' or 'indirect' effects related to the aforementioned geopolitical risks on the Company's and the Group's economic activity, financial situation and economic results.

Group's value

The Stock Exchange capitalisation of Cementir shares as of 30 June 2025 was EUR 2,358.2 million (EUR 1,677.1 million as of 31 December 2024) against Group Shareholders' Equity of EUR 1,682.9 million (EUR 1,717.0 million as of 31 December 2024).

Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group has identified its operating segments on the basis of the Parent's internal reporting system for management purposes.

The Group's operations are organised on a regional basis, divided into Regions that represent the following geographical areas: Nordic & Baltic, Belgium, North America, Türkiye, Egypt, Asia Pacific and Italy (hereinafter also "Holding and Services").

The Nordic & Baltic region includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Poland and the white cement operations in Belgium and France. The Belgium region includes the activities of the Compagnie des Ciments Belges S.A. group in Belgium and France. The North America region includes the United States. The Asia Pacific region includes China, Malaysia and Australia. "Holding and Services" includes the Parent Company, Spartan Hive and Aalborg Portland Digital and other smaller companies.

The Group's geographical segments consist of the non-current assets of each company based and operating in the above areas. Transfer prices applied to transactions between segments for the exchange of goods and services comply with normal market conditions.

Notes

1) Intangible assets with a finite useful life

At 30 June 2025, intangible assets with a finite useful life amounted to EUR 178,844 thousand (EUR 194,593 thousand at 31 December 2024). Concession rights and licences mainly consisted of concessions to use quarries and software licences for the IT system (SAP R/3). The increase in the period is attributable to projects related to improvements in IT processes, technology, infrastructure and IT security measures and also includes investments made in accordance with the regulation on the emissions trading system.

Other intangible assets include the values assigned to certain assets upon acquisition of the CCB Group and LWCC, such as customer lists and contracts for the exclusive exploitation of quarries. These amounts were recognised as part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of these companies.

Amortisation is applied over the assets' estimated useful life.

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are periodically tested for impairment. For the purposes of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the presence of possible indicators of impairment of the assets in question was assessed. On the basis of the information available, taking into account the foreseeable future results and the absence of significant trigger events, it was deemed unnecessary to perform impairment tests, which will in any case be carried out when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements, except for Norway CGU, which is part of N&B CGU, where following the reduction in volumes already commented on in the report, it was deemed appropriate to perform an impairment test with a positive outcome.

In the light of global geopolitical events, the devaluation of the Turkish Lira and the application of the IAS 29, analyses were carried out to assess the presence of impairment indicators. They did not show the presence of possible losses in value, also taking into account the results significantly higher than the Budget.

At the date of this financial report, there were no changes in the strategic guidelines reported in the press releases issued following the approval of the 2025-2027 Business Plan on 11 February 2025.

3) Property, plant and equipment

At 30 June 2025, property, plant and equipment reached EUR 946,905 thousand (EUR 990,085 thousand at 31 December 2024) and included EUR 77.3 million (EUR 89.2 million at 31 December 2024) in Right of Use assets.

Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base aiming to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the capital structure by means of tracking the trend of Net Financial Debt/Position, Net Gearing Ratio and Equity Ratio. For this purpose, net financial debt is calculated as total liabilities (as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets. Adjusted Equity comprises all components of equity other than amounts accumulated in the hedging and cost of hedging reserves.

It is noted that in the meeting of 11 February 2025, the Board of Directors of Cementir Holding NV approved the update of the Business Plan 2025-2027 with the aim of achieving a net cash position of over EUR 700 million at the end of the plan, deriving from cash generation of over EUR 400 million.

The following table highlights the financial indicators:

Ratio (EUR'000) 30.06.2025 31.12.2024
Total Financial Liabilities 167,841 212,803
- Less cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets (311,827) (503,239)
Net Financial Debt (143,986) (290,436)
Total Equity 1,806,654 1,856,384
- Hedging reserve (2,312) (1,896)
Adjusted Equity 1,804,342 1,854,488
Net Gearing Ratio (Net Financial Debt/Adjusted Equity) -7.98% -15.66%
Adjusted Equity 1,804,342 1,854,488
Total Assets 2,565,064 2,755,724
Equity ratio (Adjusted Equity/Total Assets) 70.34% 67.30%

The Group's Management monitors the performance of the Return on Equity calculated by dividing the Result from continuing operations by the Shareholders' Equity. This indicator was 10.1% as at 30 June 2025 (12.9% as at 30 June 2024), due to the positive performance.

14) Employee benefits

Employee benefits as at 30 June 2025 amounted to EUR 26,316 thousand (EUR 25,941 thousand as at 31 December 2024), did not change significantly during the period, and mainly comprised liabilities for employee benefits and termination indemnities.

Where conditions are met for their recognition, liabilities are also recognised for future commitments connected with medium/long-term incentive plans that will be paid to employees at the end of the plan period. The longterm incentive plan envisages the payment of a variable monetary reward, calculated on the basis of the gross annual salary of the beneficiary, which is tied to the achievement of the business and financial objectives in the Industrial Plans prepared and approved. It amounted to EUR 3,542 thousand at 30 June 2025 (EUR 2,997 thousand at 31 December 2024).

Liabilities for employee benefits, mainly in Türkiye, Belgium and Norway, are included in the defined benefit plans and are partly funded by insurance plans. In particular, plan assets refer to the pension plans in Belgium and Norway. Liabilities are valued applying actuarial methods and assets have been calculated based on the fair value at the reporting date. Post-employment benefits are an unfunded and fully provisioned liability recognised for benefits attributable to employees upon or after termination of employment. This liability falls under so-called defined benefit plans and is therefore determined by applying the actuarial method.

15) Provisions

Non-current and current provisions amounted to EUR 25,067 thousand (EUR 25,322 thousand at 31 December 2024) and EUR 4,852 thousand (EUR 4,776 thousand at 31 December 2024) respectively.

In the first half of 2025, financial operations were negative by EUR 1.5 million (positive by EUR 19.8 million in the first half of 2024). The result includes net financial expenses of EUR 0.8 million (net financial expenses of EUR 1.1 million in the first half of 2024), foreign exchange income of EUR 1.7 million (foreign exchange income of EUR 22.9 million in the first half of 2024) and the effect of the valuation of derivatives.

Interest expense included EUR 2.6 million (EUR 2.4 million in the first half of 2024) thousand in interest on lease liabilities arising from the application of the IFRS 16 accounting standard.

32) Financial risks

Credit risk

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 June 2025 equals the carrying amount of loans and receivables recognised in the statement of financial position.

Management of the credit risks is based on internal credit limits, which are based on the customer's and the counterparties' creditworthiness, based on both internal and external credit ratings as well as the Group's experience with the counterparty. If no satisfactory guarantee is obtained when credit rating the customer/counterparty, payment in advance or separate guarantee for the sale, e.g. a bank guarantee, will be required.

Given the sector's collection times and the Group's procedures for assessing customers' creditworthiness, the percentage of disputed receivables is low. If an individual credit position shows irregular payment trends, the Group blocks further supplies and takes steps to recover the outstanding amount.

Due to the market situation, the Group has in recent years increased the resources used on follow-up on customers, which contributes to early warnings of possible risks. Historically the Group has had relatively small losses due to customers' or counterparties' inability to pay.

Recoverability is assessed considering any collateral pledged that legally can be attached and advice from legal advisors who oversee collection procedures. The Group impairs all receivables for which a loss is probable at the reporting date, based on whether the entire amount or a part thereof will not be recovered.

The credit risk limit of financial assets corresponds to the values recognised on the balance sheet.

No individual customer or co-operator poses any material risk to the Group.

With respect to bank deposits and derivatives, the Group has always worked with leading counterparties, thus limiting its credit risk in this sense.

Notes 8 and 11 provide information on trade and other receivables.

At 30 June 2025 the break down by Region of Net trade receivables, as follows:

(Eur '000) 30.06.2025 31.12.2024
Nordic & Baltic 77,987 28,050
Belgium 60,048 44,995
North America 21,173 18,718
Türkiye 72,498 73,707
Egypt 388 1,591
Asia Pacific 8,285 8,509
Italy 6,126 4,600
Total 246,505 180,170

In Nordic and Baltic Region, receivables are attributable to Danish customers and export customers characterised as medium-sized and major customers. The Group is familiar with the Danish customers, who have not been granted long credit lines. Experience shows that export customers pose a low credit risk.

Regarding ready-mixed concrete and aggregates business, the Group's customers primarily consist of contractors, builders and other customers posing a higher credit risk.

In North America, Asia Pacific and Egypt, activities are attributable to minor local customers and medium-sized to major customers on a global scale. Credits are granted in accordance with usual, local trading terms. Credit rating is applied to some types of customers, but experience shows that customers in Overseas pose a low credit risk.

In Türkiye, there are both dealers and end users (contractors and other customers) within both the readymixed concrete, cement and waste business. All customers are generally required to provide security for deliveries unless the management has assessed that there are no significant risks associated with selling to that customer.

Liquidity risk

The Group has credit facilities which cover any unforeseen requirements.

Note 17 Financial Liabilities provides a breakdown of financial liabilities by due date.

Market risk

Information necessary to assess the nature and scope of financial risks at the reporting date is provided in this section.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates, which may affect its earnings performance and equity.

Regarding the main effects of the consolidation of foreign companies, if the exchange rates in Turkish Lira (TRY), Norwegian Krone (NOK), Swedish Krona (SEK), US Dollar (USD), Renminbi-Yuan. The currency that had the greatest impact is the Turkish Lira (TRY), EUR 39 million (31 December 2024 equal to EUR 41 million). Further currency risks deriving from the consolidation of the other foreign companies are to be considered irrelevant.

The Group has a swap agreement (hedge accounting) expiring in October 2030, where both currency risk and interest risk have been hedged. Related to the interest risk the Group has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 4.06% and the Group will receive EURIBOR + a spread of 0.04% each 30 April and 31 October until maturity. The effective part of the hedge is equal to all future cash flow payments and nominal instalments.

The fair value liability is included in a separate line item in the balance sheet "Derivatives financial instruments".

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. The consolidated net financial position as at 30 June 2025 was positive for EUR 144.0 million (at 31 December 2024 it was positive for EUR 290.4 million), the existing loan lines are regulated at floating rates, as are the investments of liquidity.

With regard to the variable rate of loans and cash and cash equivalents, an annual increase in interest rates, on all currencies in which the debt is contracted, equal to 1%, other variables being equal, would have an impact on pre-tax profit of EUR 2.2 million (as of 31 December 2024 positive by EUR 2.5 million) and on shareholders' equity of EUR 1.7 million (as of 31 December 2024 positive by EUR 2 million). A decrease in interest rates of the same level would have had no impact.

Raw materials price risk

The Group uses a range of raw materials for production purposes, which expose it to price risk, especially for fuel and energy. The Group enters into contracts with defined price conditions for certain raw materials. The market value of swap contracts open at 30 June is as follows:

(EUR million) 30.06.2025 31.12.2024
Market value - swap contract 0.1 (0.2)

33) Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified using a hierarchy which reflects the sources of the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchy consists of the following levels:

  • Level 1: measurement of fair value using quoted prices on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: measurement of fair value using inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 which are directly observable (such as prices) or indirectly observable (i.e., derived from prices) on the market.

  • Level 3: measurement of fair value using inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of assets and liabilities is classified as follows:

30 June 2025 Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
(Eur '000)
Investment property 4 - 100,140 16,675 116,815
Current financial assets (derivative instruments) 9 - 375 - 375
Total assets - 100,515 16,675 117,190

Current financial liabilities (derivative instruments) 17 - (1,588) - (1,588)
Total liabilities - (6,315) - (6,315)
31 december 2024 Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

Current financial liabilities (derivative instruments) 17 - (2,298) - (2,298)
Total liabilities - (14,541) - (14,541)

No transfers among the levels took place during the first half of 2025 and no changes in level 3 were made.

Investment property classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy refers to assets held by Italian companies. For this type of asset, the fair value was determined using the following methodologies commonly accepted in the valuation practice:

  • Synthetic comparative method, on the basis of which the fair value of the asset is determined by referring to the unit market value (€/m2) multiplied by the surface of the asset;
  • Direct capitalisation method, according to which the fair value of the asset is determined by dividing the annual income by a capitalisation rate.

33.1) Financial instruments - Fair value and risk management

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
