#1GAIX GCC CORPORATE PRESENTATION Q4 2023 414 FEBRUARY 2024 151#2SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT This presentation has been prepared by GCC, S.A.B. de C.V. (together with its subsidiaries, "GCC"). Nothing in this presentation is intended to be taken by any person as investment advice, a recommendation to buy, hold or sell any security, or an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to purchase any security. Information related with the market and the competitive position of GCC was obtained from public sources that GCC believes to be reliable; however, GCC does not make any representation as to its accuracy, validity, timeliness or completeness. GCC is not responsible for errors and/or omissions with respect to the information contained herein. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this presentation may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements may relate to GCC's financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. All statements that are not clearly historical in nature are forward- looking, and the words "anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate," "intend," "project" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. The information in this presentation, including but not limited to forward-looking statements, applies only as of the date of this presentation. GCC expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise the information, including any financial data and forward-looking statements. Any projections have been prepared based on GCC's views as of the date of this presentation and include estimates and assumptions about future events which may prove to be incorrect or may change over time. The projections have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, and do not constitute a forecast. While the projections are based on assumptions that GCC believes are reasonable, they are subject to uncertainties, changes in economic, operational, political, legal or public health crises including COVID-19, and other circumstances and other risks, including, but not limited to, broad trends in business and finance, legislation affecting our securities, exchange rates, interest rates, inflation, foreign trade restrictions, and market conditions, which may cause the actual financial and other results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by such projections. EBITDA We define EBITDA as consolidated net income after adding back or subtracting, as the case may be: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) net financing expense; (3) other non-operating expenses; (4) taxes; and (5) share of earnings in associates. In managing our business, we rely on EBITDA as a means of assessing our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe EBITDA is a useful basis of comparing our results with those of other companies because it presents results of operations on a basis unaffected by capital structure and taxes. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies' calculation of similarly titled measures. Currency translations / physical volumes All monetary amounts in this presentation are expressed in U.S. Dollars ($ or US$). Currency translations from pesos into U.S. dollars use the average monthly exchange rates published by Banco de México. These translations do not purport to reflect the actual exchange rates at which cross-currency transactions occurred or could have occurred. The average exchange rates (Pesos per U.S. dollar) used for recent periods are: - Q4-23 17.5732 Q4-22 19.6878 2023 2022 - - 17.7597 20.1222 Physical volumes are stated in metric tons (mt), millions of metric tons (mmt), cubic meters (m3), or millions of cubic meters (mm3).

Over $280 billion was announced as of 3Q23 83% of GCC's EBITDA is driven by cement MARKET PCA estimates that the plan will result in an increase in cement consumption of 35 million metric tons Cement consumption is expected to increase 7% annually over 2020 levels (excluding organic growth) Projects will start to materialize in 2024 LIMITED AVAILABILITY Cement availability pressured by high demand due limited supply GCC is well positioned to meet U.S. demand with Mexico cement plants and the Rapid City cement plant expansion Odessa plant expansion to be completed in 2025 to capture plan-related demand PRICE INCREASES In 2024, we have increased cement prices one time In 2023, we increased cement prices two times, which represents an average of 8% increase Market dynamic could potentially drive the increase in cement prices 14 Sources: PCA Fall 2022 Forecast.
