EBITDA (€m)
H1 2022 IN BRIEF
Overall stable demand across the regions. High inflation and uncertainties started to have an impact, mainly in Europe
Sequential double-digit prices increases implemented in every country with Italy, Eastern Europe and USA leading the way
Price over cost negative in H1 but prices started to catch up in Q2
Strong net sales growth (+12.1% lfl) in all regions, driven by solid pricing.
EBITDA just slightly down lfl vs H1 2021 due to higher costs (energy +70%)
Net cash position at 114 €m, improved vs Q1 but still lower vs 2021 due to the spike in working capital and share buyback
Revised guidance for 2022: Recurring EBITDA to possibly reach a level similar to 2021

2. 2022 OUTLOOK
2022 OUTLOOK
During H2, construction activity in Italy and Central Europe may be penalized by less favorable development in the residential sector, which bears the higher financing and construction costs, and some delays in the implementation of infrastucture plans. Construction activity in the USA expected to continue to be lively.
Selling prices should continue to fuel revenue growth in H2
Thanks to better visibility on the year, guidance raised compared to previous indications: 2022 recurring EBITDA expected to be in line with 2021
3. OUR JOURNEY TO NET ZERO
OUR JOURNEY TO NET ZERO
HOW TO GET THERE
Proven track record in CO2 emissions reduction. Already reduced by ~20% CO2 emissions in 2021 vs 1990.
NEXT CHAPTER: NEW, SCIENCE BASED, REDUCTION TARGETS
Targeting to achieve CO2 emissions (scope 1 net) below 500 kg per ton of cementitious material by 2030, meaning another 20% reduction vs 2021 level*.
TCFD alignment SBTi validation on-going
ROADMAP 2030 – 2050
Realistic path to turn ambition into reality
*scope including Brazil, excluding Russia
CLINKER CONTENT IN CEMENTS
67.3% In 2030
63.4% In 2050
ALTERNATIVE FUELS WITH BIOMASS CONTENT

45.4%
In 2030
69.5% In 2050
CCU/S: GREEN ENERGY COOPERATION WITH TES&OGE IN DEUNA
DEUNA CEMENT PLANT (GERMANY) WILL PARTIALLY CAPTURE ITS CO2 AND PARTICIPATE AT A CO2 CIRCULAR ECONOMY INITIATIVE. CAPEX: 35-50 €M
CARBON CAPTURE AT CEMENT PLANT IN DEUNA (THURINGIA)
CO2 emissions will be captured and transferred into liquid CO2 at Deuna cement plant. Initial start in 2027, scaled up for approx. 280,000 tons CO2 capture by 2030.
1,000 KM CO2 TRANSPORT NETWORK
The CO2 will be transported* to Wilhelmshaven. From there is will be exported by TES for a circular closed looped system or sequestration.
GREEN ENERGY HUB WILHELMSHAVEN
TES will import green methane which can be used in turn in industrial processes.
* either by train through a JV of Rhenus & TES or by pipeline through a JV of OGE & TES.
CCU/S: CATCH FOR CLIMATE
CI4C – CEMENT INNOVATION FOR CLIMATE WAS FOUNDEND BY BUZZI UNICEM/DYCKERHOFF, HEIDELBERGCEMENT, SCHWENK ZEMENT AND VICAT.
DEMONSTRATION PLANT ON INDUSTRIAL SCALE IN MERGELSTETTEN
CI4C will build and operate a demonstration plant, where the oxyfuel (from oxygen and fuel) process will be applied. EPC contract with tkIS signed.
CAPTURE OF CO2 BY OXYFUEL PROCESS
Pure oxygen is introduced into the cement kiln instead of air: No other components gets into the burning process. Highly concentrated CO2 is created. ~100% of CO2 can be captured.
REFUELS
The captured CO2 is used to produce reFuels with the help of renewable electrical energy and turned into climate-neutral synthetic fuels such as kerosene for air traffic.
CAPEX REQUIREMENTS BY 2030
Expected capex requirements for 2030 target:
750 million euros
This plan leads to CO2 specific capex per year equal to 20-30% of the annual avg capex spending
Maintaining ~8% of capex* to net sales ratio over the period
*excluding financial investments
