INTRODUCTION

This Interim Financial Report refers to the Cementir Group's consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2023, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

As of April 2022, the Turkish economy is considered hyperinflationary according to the criteria set out in "IAS 29-Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".

For the purpose of preparing this Interim Financial Report and in accordance with the provisions of IAS 29, certain items on the balance sheets of investee companies in Türkiye have been re-measured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data; this makes it possible to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Turkish Lira as of the reporting date of the investees themselves.

This report was prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption.

It is noted that this Interim Financial Report is unaudited.

GROUP PERFORMANCE

TÜRKIYE - HYPERINFLATED ECONOMY: IMPACTS OF THE APPLICATION OF IAS 29

As of April 2022, the Turkish economy is considered hyperinflationary according to the criteria set out in "IAS 29-Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".

The accounting effects of this adjustment, in addition to already being reflected in the opening balance sheet as of 1 January 2023, incorporate the changes for the period. In particular, the effect related to the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity items, and income statement items recognised in 2023 was recognised in a separate income statement item under financial income and expenses. The related tax effect of non-cash assets was recognised in taxes for the period.

To take into account the impact of hyperinflation also on the local currency exchange rate, profit and loss account balances expressed in hyperinflationary currencies have been converted into euro, the Cementir

  • From January 2023 to 31 March 2023: 13%

In the first quarter of 2023, the application of IAS 29 resulted in the recognition of a net financial income (pre- tax) of EUR 2.6 million.
