Fourth Quarter 2021 Update Typhoon Odette1 struck the central and southern part of the Philippines in mid-December and disrupted our operations in Cebu. As a result, the national government declared a state of calamity in 6 regions2. The category 5 typhoon is estimated to be one of the costliest3 typhoons in Philippine history. While APO Cement experienced property damage due to Typhoon Odette, major plant equipment did not sustain damage. APO Plant was operational after the typhoon, but volumes were impacted due to recovery efforts and infrastructure damage. We worked with the local government of Naga, Cebu to provide essential supplies to the affected nearby communities. APO’s Emergency Response Team supported safety and clearing efforts in Naga. Conditions improved in January, as key infrastructure was gradually restored. 1 International name: Rai 2 Mimaropa (Region 4-B), Western Visayas (Region 6), Central Visayas (Region 7), Eastern Visayas (Region 8), Northern Mindanao (Region 10), and Caraga (Region 13) 3 Based on estimates by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)

Solid Cement Plant New Line In December 2021, SOLID Cement Corporation (“SOLID”) terminated the construction contract with the previous contractor which covers the construction and installation of the 1.5 million metric tons per year integrated cement production line. Termination was due to the delay in the implementation of construction/installation works In February 2022, SOLID engaged several contractors who will continue with the construction and installation of the new line.  The contractors for the works are Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Company of Manila, Inc. (“AG&P”) and Betonbau Phil., Inc. Expected completion of construction: March 2024 Expected total investment of US$356 million1 CHP expects that the additional investment requirements could be sourced from one and/or any combination of the following options: free cash flow, debt from any subsidiary of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.

Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased in 2021 due to the use of purchased clinker1 and higher power cost. Increase in 4Q21 cost of sales reflects use of purchased clinker, APO Plant shutdown expenses2 and higher fuel costs We consumed all our purchased clinker inventory in 4Q21. Higher coal prices in 4Q21 Total 2021 fuel cost was 1% lower mainly due to the use of purchased clinker, and supported by higher substitution of secondary fuels. Total 2021 power cost was up by 18% due to higher production volume, increased electricity rates, and a rebate from the wholesale electricity spot market received in 2020.

2022 Outlook Construction activity expected to remain a driver of economic recovery 2022 national budget is the highest in Philippine history1, with 17% allocated to the Department of Public Works and Highways and Department of Transportation. Markets foreseen to remain highly competitive with the presence of imported cement throughout country Inflationary pressures to cost likely to persist for inputs such as energy and transportation.  We expect our 2022 major kiln2 maintenance shutdown costs to be similar to 2019 levels. APO Plant kiln #1 maintenance executed in January 2022, coinciding with installation of the APO waste-heat recovery facility. Solid Plant major kiln maintenance3 expected in 2Q22. APO Plant kiln #2 major maintenance expected in 3Q22. We look to enhance our customer experience and derive operational efficiencies. We plan to implement our carbon reduction roadmap. 1 2022 Philippine national budget is 11.5% higher than the 2021 national budget 2 Solid Plant currently has 1 kiln.
