most of our markets sold out

Building a better future
Cement industry demand'
I&C
•
Sequential cement prices up 4%, reflecting January price increases in
markets representing 40% of volumes
Remaining markets repriced in April and subsequent pricing increases for
summer months have been announced
On the cost side, imports, logistics, and energy continue to be the biggest
headwinds to margins, resulting in a YoY decline, but sequential margins
improved almost 1pp
We expect low-single digit growth in volumes for cement, ready-mix, and
aggregates in 2022, driven by the residential sector and a recovery in I&C
With today's challenging global shipping market, will take full advantage of
imports, by rail and water from our Mexican operations in order to meet
customer needs
