CASH RETURN TO SHAREHOLDERS

DISCIPLINED AND BALANCED FINANCIAL APPROACH

WITHIN THE COMPANY….

  • Margins protection, through organic growth, 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 ne w technologies
  • ESG targets and metrics will be integrated in our financial documentations.

3. Q1 2023 OVERVIEW

Q1 IN BRIEF

Still challenging operating context with negative development of volumes in Q1, in line with generalized slowdown of demand.

Q1 cement and rmx volumes contracted in European markets andUS, while volumes increased in Mexico and Brazil.

Strengthening of selling prices continued in Q1, albeit with varying degrees of intensity. Step up of selling prices in Central Europea, Poland and Czech. Further round up in USA. No significant changes in Italy

Net Sales at 956 €m (+19.5%, +16% lfl), driven by the positive price effect. Favorable fx fluctuations (dollar and ruble) contributed €m 28

Net cash position remained at 279 €m, stable compared to FY22.

Guidance confirmed: 2023 EBITDA should easily match the level achieved in 2022.

Specific gross CO2emissions declined by 3.6% to 664 kg CO2/t cem.mat, reaching the target as planned (-5% vs 2017)

Main factors which contributed to meet the target:

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*.

2030 CO2TARGETS VALIDATED BY SBTi

In March 2023, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has formally validated the scope 1 and scope 2 decarbonization targets envisaged by the roadmap"Our Journey to Net Zero"
