Third quarter 2021 update In 3Q21, construction activity remained stable, despite a reversion to stricter lockdown measures, due to the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. Start of the monsoon season in the third quarter negatively affected sequential performance. Successfully executed major kiln maintenance works in APO Cement Plant, more than two years since our last major shutdown in APO. We brought in additional clinker to support our production requirements during our APO shutdown. Increased use of secondary fuels. However, for the fourth quarter, our upcoming shipments of coal will reflect higher rates. Pursuing operations and supply chain efficiency initiatives to mitigate cost increases.
Committed to operate at world-class standards Solid Cement and APO Cement attained continued certifications for: ISO 9001:2015Quality Management System ISO 14001:2015Environmental Management System ISO 45001:2018Occupational Safety and Health Management System ISO 50001:2018Energy Management System CHP is the only cement producer in the Philippines with ISO 50001:2018 Certification for Energy Management System.

Nearly all our employees and more than two thirds of our contractors have been vaccinated for COVID-19 We are collaborating with local government units for the vaccination of our communities Solid Cement Plant received Safety Seal Certification from the Department of Labor and Employment under the Department’s voluntary certification process. This safety seal certification recognizes our facility to be compliant with public health standards and safety protocols. Three of our distribution centers have also obtained this Safety Seal. Behaviors That Save Lives
Third quarter 2021 initiatives Soft launch of our online booking system for pick-up transactions, complemented by our Electronic Authority to Withdraw digital solution, for a contactless pick-up experience Our Electronic Authority to Withdraw solution reached 100% percent adoption, one year after rollout Paperless transactions and online payment options to enhance customer experience Benefitting from higher pick-up transactions Supply chain efficiencies contributed to lowering distribution cost Targeting our highest level of secondary fuel substitution by end of the year
Sustainability and Climate Action Launched our “Vertua” and “Type 1P High Strength” cement products, giving our customers eco-friendly alternatives Our kilns continue co-processing, saving inorganic waste from landfills and bodies of water Solid Cement Plant recognized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for “Small Scale – Waste to Energy for Co-processing of Residual Wastes” Expecting start-up of 4.5-megawatt waste-heat recovery facility in APO Cement Plant by first quarter 2022, similar to the 6-megawatt waste-heat recovery facility in our Solid Cement Plant
Rest of the year outlook National weather bureau announced the onset of the La Niña phenomenon, which may persist until the first quarter of 2022 We continue to face inflationary pressures driven by global energy price increases and supply chain disruptions Execution of public infrastructure projects remains a driver of economic recovery
Domestic cement volumes increased by 1% year-over-year during the third quarter, as construction activity remained stable despite a return to stricter lockdown measures due to the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant Sequentially, our domestic cement volumes decreased by 4%, as the rainy season affected our industry On a year-to-date basis, our domestic cement volumes increased by 11% year-over-year Our domestic cement prices increased by 1% sequentially, due to price adjustments implemented in 3Q21 Year-over-year, change in our domestic cement prices mainly driven by higher proportion of pick-up sales Net of freight charges, our domestic cement prices decreased by 1% year-over-year during 3Q21 and 9M21, mainly due to competitive market dynamics and the impact of COVID-19 on business activity Domestic Cement Volumes and Prices
Net Sales Net sales for the third quarter decreased by 2% year-over-year due to lower prices. For the first nine months of 2021, net sales increased by 8% year-over-year due to higher volume. Net Sales1 1 Millions of Philippine Pesos -2% +8%
Private Sector Construction sector employment remained above the 4 million threshold in August despite strict lockdown measures, as essential projects in the construction industry were allowed to operate at full capacity. Activity in the residential sector improved compared to last year as seen in the positive trend of residential building permits, and horizontal residential real estate prices. Overall spending and investment for this sector may be challenged by elevated inflation rates. In addition, despite resilient remittance inflows, OFW households could apportion more remittance proceeds for basic and health necessities. Non-residential sector activity declined year-on-year as mobility restrictions continue to hamper the sector’s performance as seen in non-residential building permits, non-residential capital formation, and postponed project launches. The general decline in this sector is softened by growing demand for logistics and warehousing. For the rest of the year, above-normal rainfall conditions forecasted by the national weather bureau may affect general construction activity.

Public Sector Infrastructure disbursements for the first two months of 3Q2021 reached PHP 144 billion, a 49% increase compared to the same period in 2020 and higher than the PHP 135 billion recorded during the same period in 2019.

The government is expected to fast track infrastructure projects for the rest of the year to catch up, and in anticipation of the construction ban next year due to elections. While the risk of COVID-19 remains, infrastructure activities are considered essential and a driver of the country’s economic recovery.
