Consolidated net sales during the second quarter of 2017 declined by 12% compared to those of the second quarter of 2016. For the first half of the year consolidated net sales decreased by 4%, compared to those of the same period of 2016. These declines are mostly explained by lower cement volumes and prices in Colombia. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales during the first six months of the year increased by 5.3pp from 51.1% to 56.4%, on a year-over-year basis. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first half of the year increased by 2.6pp from 21.6% to 24.2%, compared to those of the same period of 2016. Operating EBITDA during the second quarter of 2017 declined by 39% compared to that of second quarter of 2016. During the first half of the year operating EBITDA decreased by 26%, compared to that of the same period in 2016. This decline is mainly explained by lower cement volumes and prices in Colombia. Operating EBITDA margin during the second quarter of 2017 declined by 10.5pp, compared to that of the second quarter of 2016. During the first six months of the year operating EBITDA margin declined by 7.5pp compared to that of the same period last year. Controlling interest net income during the first half of the year reached US$51 million, declining 49% compared to that of the same period in 2016. During the second quarter of 2017 controlling interest net income reached US$16 million, declining by 72% compared to that of the second quarter of 2016. Total debt at the end of the quarter reached US$936 million. 2017 Second Quarter Results Page 2

In Colombia, during the second quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 9%, 23%, and 26%, respectively, compared to those of the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of the year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 5%, 14%, and 17%, respectively, compared to those of the same period of 2016. Cement consumption during the quarter was affected by macroeconomic challenges in the country, by adverse weather conditions, as well as by three fewer working days. Despite the soft demand environment, we estimate that our cement market position has remained practically unchanged during the past four consecutive quarters. Our quarterly cement prices, on a year-over-year and sequential basis, were negatively affected by intense competitive dynamics. .

Our participation in projects like Minera Panama, the second line of the Subway, the AES energy project, and the urban renovation of the city of Colon have been driving demand for our products. During the second quarter our operating EBITDA was negatively affected by the annual major maintenance of kiln #2, which we didn’t have in the second quarter of 2016. 2017 Second Quarter Results Page 3

During the second quarter construction activity was negatively affected by fewer working days. However, daily dispatches for our three core products increased during the April-June period, on a year-over-year basis. In spite of the negative effect of the Easter holidays, our cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased on a sequential basis, reinforcing our expectations of stronger demand conditions for the rest of the year.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES Methodology for translation and presentation of results Under IFRS, CLH reports its consolidated results in its functional currency, which is the US Dollar, by translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using the corresponding exchange rate at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the corresponding exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement. For the reader’s convenience, Colombian peso amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the US dollar amounts using the closing COP/US$ exchange rate at the reporting date for balance sheet purposes, and the average COP/US$ exchange rate for the corresponding period for income statement purposes. The exchange rates used to convert: (i) the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was $3,038.26 and $2,916.15 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated results for the second quarter of 2017 and for the second quarter of 2016 were $2,968.84 and $2,945.49 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively. Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.” Consolidated financial information When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
