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

FOSSIL FUELS WITH LOWER EMISSION FACTOR
The combustion of methane gas with the same energy supplied emits about half the CO2 emitted by the combustion of coal or petcoke.

Contribution of methane to thermal energy from fossil fuels


CARBON CAPTURE, (USAGE) AND STORAGE

CCU/S: GREEN ENERGY COOPERATION WITH TES&OGE IN DEUNA
DEUNA CEMENT PLANT (GERMANY) WILL PARTIALLY CAPTURE ITS CO 2 AND PARTICIPATE AT A CO 2 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.

8CEO Conference | 22 June 2022

* 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 CO2can 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

11CEO Conference | 22 June 2022


DISCIPLINED AND BALANCED FINANCIAL APPROACH
WITHIN THE COMPANY….
- Margins protection, through organic gowth, adequate pricing and efficient cost management
- Selective decisions on Capex (~8% to Net Sales)
- Maintaining positive avg ROIC vs WACC spread
- Maintaining investment grade metrics (Net debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.5 x – 2.0 x)
- Focus on cash generation and allocating exceeding cash to M&A and shareholders
…AND EXTERNAL FUNDING
- Funding plan with access to fixed income markets and loan markets as well as private placements focusing on maturity profiles, flexibility and cost of funding.
- Proactively looking for public subsidies for developing new technologies
- ESG targets and metrics will be integrated in our financial documentations.


2. Q1 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

Q1 2022 HIGHLIGHTS



Q1 2022 IN BRIEF
Demand has been lively across the regions, despite some uncertainties linked to the surge in raw materials, mainly in Europe
Selling prices moved up, with Italy, Eastern Europe and USA leading the way
Strong net sales growth (+14.5% lfl) in all regions, driven by robust price development and overall solid level of activity
Net Financial Position remains positive but to a less extent vs 2021 due to the spike in working capital. Repurchased ~4% of share in Q1 (€m 122)
Guidance: recurring EBITDA to possibly decline 10% vs 2021.
