In Colombia, industry volumes improved by 2% during the quarter and declined by 10% during the full year. Our focus on pricing, in addition to the entry of new capacity by a competitor in late 2019, led to an underperformance of our cement volumes versus those of the industry. Our cement volumes declined by 7% during the quarter and by 17% during the full year. Our cement prices during December reached the highest level since 2016 in local-currency terms. Regarding our pricing strategy for 2021, we implemented a price increase of around 4% for bagged cement effective on January first.

Additionally, our volumes benefited from tighter controls along the northern border—implemented because of COVID-19—which restricted flows of cement imports. In Nicaragua, we are encouraged by the improvement in construction activity observed during the year. Our cement volumes were driven by the self-construction sector, as well as by government-sponsored projects. Cement consumption was supported by increased remittances. 2020 Fourth Quarter Results Page 4

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 are provided below. 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. Presentation of financial and operating information Individual information is provided for Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. Countries in Rest of CLH include Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.
