approx. R 5 b in projects confirmed or underway, additional R 3-4 b under feasibility study

DUBE Trade Port (King Shaka Airport Durban), KZN Investment in the Coal Industry (Mpumalanga, Limpopo) to cater for

demand from ESKOM and increased coal exports Platinum industry (Mines and Smelters), mainly North West Province Ferro Alloy Industry (Mining and Smelters)

Industrial Investments in Mining and Beneficiation in remote areas (i.e. Ellisras): will require establishment of housing and related infrastructure to cater for the workforce. Tourism will remain a growth driver.

Growth of the Cement Supply in South AfricaGrowth of the Cement Supply in South Africa

In 2006 and 2007 capacity was insufficient to fully cater for the demand, yet the market was fully served: balance supplied through cement imports (PPC, NPC, HOLCIM and Lafarge).

NPC Simuma expansion came on stream early 2007

Other projects underway come on stream on time to supply the mid term (2010) demand (imports will phase out in 2008)

Project pipeline sufficient for satisfying demand forecast

Regional Supply/demand imbalances possible: most capacity will be created in the Northwest, Eastern Cape will remain “net importer” of cement (transport impact on cement prices)

• Accessibility to sites• Storage of material on site• Theft and loss of product• Placing techniques

(pumping)• Special concretes (self-

compacting, readymix mortars and plasters) gain market acceptance

• Speed of construction paramount, lack of skilled labor, new technology formwork, turnaround times

Growth of the Ready Mix IndustryGrowth of the Ready Mix Industry

The Ready Mix Concrete market will grow significantly faster than cement: trend to larger jobsites and the intrinsic superiority of Ready Mix Concrete versus site batched concrete

Ready Mix Volumes and No. of plants will double by 2014 compared to 2006.

The industry will grow in line with demand: standard, “off the shelf” engineering = lead times to put capacity are short (4-6 months)

Clients may still be exposed to local shortages as a result of poor planning (allow for sufficient lead time when tendering !)

Growth of the Aggregate IndustryGrowth of the Aggregate Industry

Aggregate Volumes will more than double until 2014, grow at double digit rates until 2010 (road and infrastructure)

Quarried Products will increase their share in output (Poor quality of natural sands, environmental concerns)

Share of industrial clients (RMX, Concrete Products, Asphalt) in total demand will increase: stringent quality requirements

Aggregates from alternative sources (mine dumps, slag, recycling) will remain a factor of local/regional importance

• Substitution (Crusher Dust – Natural Sand): Capetown, PE, Bloemfontein, Mpumalanga, Limpopo

• Other products with demanding specifications (UTFC)• Washed materials, in particular manufactured sand

Local spikes in demand in rural areas related to large projects

Industry growth triggered listings in 2006 and 2007 (JSE Main Board and AltX)

• WG Wearne (RMX, Aggregates)• AFRIMAT (RMX, Aggregates, Concrete Products)• RAUBEX (Aggregates, Asphalt, Road Construction)• INFRASORS (Aggregates, Concrete Products)• AFRICAN BRICKS (Clay Bricks)

Raise capital to fund organic growth and consolidation• AFRIMAT -> Malans Quarries, Denver Quarries• WG Wearne -> De Bruyn Sand, Tzaneen Quarries, Willows• RAUBEX -> Queenstown Quarries

Vertical Integration moves by listed construction companies• Group 5: AFRIMIX, Quarry Cats, Sky Sand, GoCrete• Protech Kuthele: Rockcrete, Instant Concrete

Lafarge participated in consolidation (White River Quarries, Stonetech): reasonably priced acquisitions become scarce

Black economic empowerment transactions, the largest of which the investment of AFRISAM into 85% of HOLCIM South Africa

Pricing Trend for construction materialsPricing Trend for construction materials

Prices have increased at rates above consumer price inflation between 2003 and 2006 and will continue to do so

Aggregate and Cement Industry run at capacity: additional volume will come from capacity expansion (Capital Cost, Depreciation)

Industry inflation rates significantly above consumer price inflation• Electricity with ESKOM Plans to adjust prices for industrial users• Costs for compensation 2,5-3,0% above CPIX every year• Energy (Fuel, Explosives) significant Industry Cost Factors• Maintenance component strongly impacted by steel, rubber• High reliance on imported capital equipment (fixed and mobile).• Additional charges ahead ? (Minerals Levy, Rates + Taxes)

Listed operators strive to ensure adequate return for investors

Concrete Prices will reflect the prices for Materials and Transport (> 85% of the operating Cost of the Industry)

Construction Material Demand DriversConstruction Material Demand Drivers

The South African Economy entered into its longest expansion period on record in 2000/2001

Increased disposable income, consumer spending, emergence of a black middle class

Construction industry output to double between 2007 and 2014• Residential construction main driver until 2006• Industrial and infrastructure developments over the next 3-8 years

Sufficient funding by federal and provincial budgets (budgets extended by “build + operate” schemes, i.e. toll roads)

Investments will address bottlenecks enabling SA to redress the negative current account balance = main economic risk factor

• Absorb backlog out of the long period of underinvestment• Capacity for further growth of the backbones of South Africa’s

economy: Mining, Metals and Tourism

Construction Materials SupplyConstruction Materials Supply The industry has progressively saturated existing production

capacities until 05/06, further growth = investment into plants and mobile equipment

• Cement capacities will grow by > 70% and in line with demand• Ready Mix Concrete will double until 2014 (plants and trucks)• Aggregate Supply will more than double until 2014

Local, temporary, shortages may occur, in particular for aggregates but will be related to poor planning, bidding behavior and improper accounting for logistics constraints

Lafarge drives a growth strategy focusing on organic growth and innovation in all of its product lines

• 1 Mt additional cement by 2009• Local manufacturing base for gypsum wallboard• Doubling of ready mix concrete and aggregate production

Main challenge = investment inhibitor for Cement and Aggregates: uncertainty around the conversion of Mining Licenses
