LEGAL INFORMATION

Legal address:

Boulevard Cecilia Grierson 355, 4th Floor, City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Fiscal year number:

Fiscal year number 97, beginning January 1, 2021.

Principal business of the Company:

The Company and its subsidiaries, mentioned below, are referred to in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements as the “Group”.

The main activity of the Group is the manufacturing and selling of cement and its derivatives, as well as the exploration of mineral resources that are used in the production process.

Currently, the Group has 9 cement factories in Argentina, in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Neuquén, San Juan and Catamarca. The Company also has 9 concrete plants.

The Group, through its subsidiary Cofesur S.A.U., has a controlling interest in Ferrosur Roca S.A., a company operating the rail freight network of the Roca Railroad under a concession granted by the Argentine government in 1993 for a period of 30 years, which allows access from several of Loma Negra’s cement production plants to the rail network. On March 8, 2018 and with the due approval of its majority shareholder (Cofesur S.A.U.), Ferrosur Roca S.A. requested the Enforcement Authority an extension of the concession for an additional term of 10 years, pursuant to the provisions of the Bidding Terms and Conditions and the Concession Agreement. This requirement is now subject to the renegotiation and readjustment of the concession contract in order to mitigate the consequences that seriously affect the company´s business and alter the balance of the concession contract. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, Ferrosur Roca S.A. has not yet been called to initiate the renegotiation process, together with the Special Commission for Contract Renegotiation. The Group considers the extended concession period for the purposes of all required assessments and accounting estimates, especially those related to the recoverability of certain non-current assets affected by the concession

The Group also has a controlling interest in Recycomb S.A.U., a company engaged in the treatment and recycling of industrial waste intended to be used as fuel or raw material, and a controlling interest in Yguazْ Cementos S.A., a company organized in Paraguay engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of cement.

Finally, on August 21, 2020, the Company sold its stake in Yguazْ Cementos S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Paraguay dedicated to the manufacture and sale of cement. The information related to the sale of the participation and its main effects are described in Note 30.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Basis of preparation

The accompanying consolidated condensed interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2021, the consolidated condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated condensed interim statement of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the notes to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements (hereinafter, the “interim financial statements”) are unaudited and have been prepared as interim financial information. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, pursuant to the provisions in Technical Resolution No. 26 (as amended) issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences [FACPCE] and the Regulations issued by the Argentine Securities Commission [“Comisiَn Nacional de Valores” (CNV)].

Consequently, not all of the disclosures required in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements are included herein, hence, these interim financial statements shall be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 issued on March 10, 2021. In the opinion of the Group’s Management, these unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.

The financial information as of December 31, 2020 presented in these unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements arises from our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, restated in closing currency of the reported period, following the guidelines in IAS 29. Such guidelines have been described in Note 2.2 to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 do not necessarily reflect the results for the full years. The Company believes that the disclosures are appropriate and adequate to consider that the information presented is not misleading.

As a consequence of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, which has caused global economic disruption, the Group has implemented active prevention programs in its different locations and contingent plans to minimize the risk related to the pandemic and continue with its operations; being the main measures and effects described in Note 32 to these interim consolidated financial statements. The Group's Management has considered the impact of COVID-19, and the current conditions of the economy and the market, for the preparation of the interim financial information, concluding that there are no changes in judgments and significant estimates disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

Due to the sale of the shareholding in Yguazْ Cementos SA, described in Note 30, the results of the aforementioned business are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". Consequently, all amounts related to discontinued operations within each item of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income are reclassified as discontinued operations. The cash flows from discontinued operations and earnings per share disclosed separately in Note 30, as well as additional information related to the operation carried out.

2.3 Accounting policies

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and criteria used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2021, if any.

2.3.1 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

•	Adoption of new and revised IFRS

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that are relevant to its operations and that are mandatorily effective as of March 31, 2021, as described in Note 2.2 to the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

The Group has not opted for early adoption of any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet in force.

•	New standards

New standards and interpretations issued during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and the standards and interpretations issued but not mandatory as of that date are described in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES USED FOR ESTIMATING UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group´s accounting policies, the Group´s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Group selects tax criteria and accounting positions based on a reasonable interpretation of current regulations, also taking into account the opinion of its tax and legal advisors together with the evidence available up to the date of issue of these financial statements. However, there may be situations in which the assessment that a third party could make of them and the eventual realization of damage to the Group is uncertain. For such cases, the Group has evaluated the issues considering their significance in relation to the financial statements and has not made a provision as it is not required by current accounting standards.

Underlying estimates and assumptions are continuously reviewed. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary to make a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

There are no significant changes to the critical judgements used by Management in applying accounting policies to the critical judgements disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As a consequence of the activities in which the Group is engaged, its transactions do not have a significant cyclical or seasonal character. Nevertheless, during the second half of the year, the volume of sales in Argentina has historically showed a slight increase.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense is recognized on the basis of the actual profit for the period and the statutory rate expected at year-end.

This criterion does not significantly differ from the criterion established in IAS 34, which requires income tax expense to be recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective tax rate expected as of year-end.

The reconciliation of income tax expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and that which would result from applying the statutory rate in force on the net profit before income tax expense that arises from the condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for each period is as follows:

	03.31.2021		03.31.2020
Profit before income tax expense from continued operations	3,755,690		1,460,427

12.1 Borrowing costs

The Group has taken several borrowings and has used instruments to pay accounts payable in foreign currency in order to fund a part of the investment mentioned above. IAS 23 sets forth that borrowing costs or other liabilities that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an eligible asset that requires a substantial period before being ready for use, are capitalized as part of the cost of said asset, except for the portion of these costs that compensate the creditor for the effects of inflation, always provided that they may result in future economic benefits for the Group and may be measured on a reliable basis. All other borrowing costs are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include interest, foreign exchange losses and other costs incurred by the Group in connection with the execution of the respective borrowing agreements.

Due to the fact that the aforementioned indebtedness of the Group is mostly in foreign currency , it evaluates at each closing date whether the exchange gain or loss arising from such debts attributable to the construction of such asset constitutes an adjustment of the interest costs of those borrowings that should be capitalized together with those interests.. Based on the foregoing, the Group has not capitalized interest and foreign exchange losses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the figures corresponds to the amount that would have corresponded to a rate equivalent in pesos net of the effects of inflation on the liabilities that generate them.

Acquisition of Treasury Stock

On February 12, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan for the acquisition of treasury stock, for a period of 90 days and a maximum amount of 750 million. Acquisitions will be carried out in accordance with the market opportunities, dates, prices and quantities established by the Company’s Management.

The purpose of the approved repurchase plan is to efficiently dispose of a portion of the Company’s liquidity, which may result in a greater return of value to the shareholders considering the current attractive value of the share.

The maximum amount to be invested is up to 750 million or the lowest amount resulting from the acquisition to reach 10% of the capital stock. Treasury stock may not, on the whole, exceed the limit of 10% of the capital stock in accordance with Article 64 of the Capital Market Law. Such acquisition shall be made with realized and liquid profits, since the Company has the necessary liquidity to carry out the approved acquisition of treasury stock without affecting its solvency.

Until the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company acquired 2,644,608 treasury shares for a total value of 475,945.

26.3 Financial risks

The Group´s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk considering the current inflation rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group maintains an organizational structure and systems that allow the identification, measurement and control of the risks to which it is exposed.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures on financial risks, therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the Group´s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 issued on March 10, 2021.

26.4 Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement is described in Note 33.8 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

From December 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021, there have been no significant changes in the industry’s economic activity affecting the fair value of the Group´s financial assets and liabilities, either measured at fair value or amortized cost. In addition, there were no transfers among the different levels of fair value hierarchy to assess the fair value of the Group's financial instruments during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recognized at amortized cost, included in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximate to their fair values. Borrowings are measured at amortized cost considering the effective interest rate method, which approximate to their fair value given their cancellation period.

The Group’s Management considers that the liquidity risk exposure is low since the Group has been generating cash flows from its operating activities, supported on profits, and has access to loans and financial resources, as explained in Note 21.

26.5 Exchange risk management

The Group carries out transactions in foreign currency and is hence exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Exposures in the exchange rate are managed within approved policy parameters using foreign exchange contracts.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has adopted IFRS 8 – “Operating Segments”, that require operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports regarding components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee, chief operating decision maker, in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. This analysis is based on monthly information concerning historical figures of the identified segments. The information reviewed by the main decision maker basically consists in the historical details corresponding to each month accumulated until the end of the reporting period. It is for this reason that they differ from the inflation-adjusted figures as described in Note 2.2.

THE ARGENTINE ECONOMIC CONTEXT

On October 27, 2019, Argentina held presidential elections, which ended up in the election of Alberto Fernلndez as President of the Nation, who was inaugurated on December 10, 2019 and started a process of change from the previous administration.

The priority of the new administration was to implement solutions for the difficulties in the economic and social areas. To this end, the national government has carried out the necessary efforts to renegotiate the payment of the external debt, and has incorporated measures aimed at preserving the reserves of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic, reducing the fiscal deficit and obtaining improvements in productive capacity, among other various measures mentioned below.

The central issues of the macroeconomic scenario in Argentina are as follows:

The economic activity in 2019 showed a fall that was subsequently sustained and increased due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in 2020.
The fall in activity and the consequent reduction in revenues has also produced a major tax imbalance.
This imbalance has been particularly driven by the issuance of money to finance the expansion of public spending allocated to subsidies to alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fall in the international reserves of the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA”), accompanied by an increase in its monetary liabilities, has led to a tightening of the foreign exchange regulations that imposed restrictions on the accumulation and use of foreign currency and on foreign payments, which in turn created a significant gap between the official exchange rate and that of freer foreign exchange markets.
The agreement reached in August 2020 with foreign private creditors for the exchange of notes for USD 63,500 million with maturities between 2029 and 2046 has been regarded as a positive aspect that made it possible to extend the first interest and principal payments until 2024 and represents savings of about USD 38 billion over the next 10 years.
The national consumer price index published by INDEC accumulated 36.1% in the year 2020 and 13% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. This increase occurs in an inflation scenario repressed by the prevailing recession, and due to a framework of uncertainty.

32.	EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON THE GROUP

On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this regard, on March 19, 2020, the Argentine Executive Branch passed Executive Decree No. 297/2020, mandating social distancing in Argentina to prevent the effects of the pandemic.

In compliance with such decree, the Group: (i) temporarily suspended the production and dispatch of cement, concrete and aggregates until such time as the necessary conditions to resume activities are in place; (ii) temporarily suspended the construction project of the second line of L´Amalي plant, in the City of Olavarrيa, until such time as the necessary conditions to resume activities are in place; (iii) implemented teleworking practices among its back office staff; and (iv) has created a Crisis Management Committee tasked with monitoring and assessing the adoption of measures to mitigate the effects of this crisis.

(All amounts are expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos - $ - except otherwise indicated)

Accordingly, effective since April 6, 2020, the Group has resumed the production and dispatch of cement, concrete and aggregates. On the other hand, the Company has secured a permit to continue with the construction works of the second line of L´Amalي plant, under stringent health protocols established by the Provincial Government and the Group.

As a consequence of the second wave of COVID-19 infections that Argentina has been experiencing since March 2021, and as cases continue to increase, in accordance with Decrees No. 235 and No. 241/2021, the Executive Branch reinstated a limited number of restrictions on certain commercial operations and movement of people (such as the restriction of group tourist trips, closing of shopping centers, restrictions on the operation of stores between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. 00:00 and 6:00 the next day) in the most affected areas (including the City of Buenos Aires and its surroundings), initially until April 30, 2021 and then extended until May 21, 2021. If these restrictions spread or broaden, economic activity could continue to decline, and all other economic indicators would continue to deteriorate.

Concerning the railroad business operated through the subsidiary Ferrosur Roca S.A., in the first quarter of this year the effect of COVID-19 has occasionally hindered the operation due to simultaneous cases in the Operations Control Center (CCO). Although some positive case required hospital admission, no deceased has been registered to date.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

34.1 Destination of reserves and unallocated results for fiscal year 2020

On April 20, 2021, the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting was held, which, among other things, decided to modify the destination of the Optional Reserve that had originally been established taking into consideration the investment plans in property, plant and equipment that were in execution. Considering the high degree of progress of the L'Amalي plant expansion project, and the need for a smaller amount of funds for the project, the destination of the Facultative Reserve was modified so that, from now on, it can be used for future distributions of dividends being its new name "Optional reserve for future dividends". Likewise, it considered the destination of the unallocated results as of December 31, 2020 for a total amount of 11,351,024, providing for the increase in the balance of the Optional Reserve for future dividends for said amount.

34.2 Acquisition of Treasury Stock

The construction sector could be expected to show a stronger recovery in the first half of the year, with the second half being subject to the evolution of the country’s economic situation and to the then-existing pandemic scenario.
