Why Sub-Saharan Africa? Why Cement?
6
Cement demand driven by
increasing population,
urbanisation and prosperity
Sub-Saharan Africa
significantly lags global
average per-capita cement
consumption
Huge opportunity for African
producers to expand, replace
imports, especially in West
Africa, much of which lacks
limestone
Africa is the last major
growth market for cement
with relatively little surplus
capacity at present
High capital cost of
entry, construction time
and access to resources
are key barriers to entry
Key markets are
Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa;
cement ‘majors’ with high net
debt/EBITDA are less able to
take on additional debt to to
finance entry to these markets
Cement is an essential
building material with no
viable substitutes,
Africa needs billions of
tonnes in the coming
decades
Dangote Cement is the only large-scale player in Sub-Saharan African Cement markets
Many incumbents are sub-
scale, use older technologies,
so are vulnerable to well-
funded industry disruptors

Overview of African Cement Market
7
• Increasing political stability enabling rapid economic growth
• Steady population growth, younger profile increases need for building
• Emerging middle-class, increasing consumerisation and access to financial services e.g. banking, mortgages, credit
• Increasing demand for more and higher grades of cement as urbanisation continues across the continent, demanding more infrastructure, housing and commercial building
Positive Long-Term Mega Trends
Source: Industry Sources, BMI.
1. Global average includes China.
• Unlocking of natural resources (oil, commodities)
• Increased manufacturing capabilities (for both domestic consumption and exports)
• Increasing inward investment as aid is replaced by commercial funding
• Accelerating technological adoption, enabling ‘leap-frogging’
• In early build-out phase of development, cement is used in ‘economic multipliers’ e.g. infrastructure, with positive feedback for cement demand
Supportive Growth Factors
• Historical SSA GDP growth of 4.6% between 2010 – 2014
• Expected SSA GDP growth of 4.2% between 2014 – 2018 (World Bank)
• Construction industry value forecast to grow at 6.5% CAGR between 2015 – 2017

Cement consumption in Africa has high and long-term growth potential
• Over 1.4B Africans are forecast to live in urban areas by 2050, which is > 4x North America’s current population

Strategic Raw Material Access
Location, quality and quantity of Dangote Cement’s limestone reserves is a key competitive advantage
• Limestone is the key and irreplaceable ingredientof all types of modern cement
• Commercially viable deposits of limestone are relativelyscarce across many parts of Africa
– Ideally need high-quality limestone to be neardemand centres, fuel and distribution network
• Nigeria has a relative abundance of quality limestoneespecially in key southern regions near to demandcentres, export facilities
– Nigeria also has good-quality coal that we will mineto achieve self-sufficiency in fuel
• Absence of limestone in much of West and East Africa,especially coastal states, forces those countries to importbulk cement or its intermediate product, clinker, usuallyfrom Far East and Nigeria
• Limestone reserves close to existing facilities each with alife of mine in excess of 30 years
• Dangote Cement plans an ‘export to import’ strategy toserve West Africa and Cameroon from Nigerian factories,exporting by road and in time by sea
Limestone in Nigeria is high quality and close to demand centres

Goal
Vision
Strategic Initiatives and Goals
9
Grow and diversify
across the last and
potentially most
attractive major
growth market for
cement
Strategic Pillars / Long-Term Goals
Consolidate expansion across
Africa
Achieve leadership in key
markets
Tap high-value export markets
Capture local markets with
superior quality and service
Adhere to global standards of governance
Improve sustainability
Strive to obtain a #1 or
#2 position in each
market, with at least
30% share
Serve landlocked
markets with high
sales prices and
margins, generate FX
to offset imported raw
materials
Serve markets with
delivered product
instead of factory gate
sales; use financial
strength to improve
service, reduce costs
Achieving international
standing through good
governance enables us
to access global
financial markets
Be most energy and
CO2 efficient company
in our industry, with
low environmental
footprint when
compared to peers
• Key elements of business model
– Target high-growth, populous markets with cement deficits and older/less efficient producers
– Be the leader in quality, costs and service wherever we operate
– Expand quickly and profitably when rivals are hampered by debt or smaller scale
A strategy to become a respected and world-class business leader
To deliver superior and sustainable risk-adjusted ROI, IRR on our investments
To be Africa’s leading producer of cement, respected for the quality of its products and services and for the way it conducts its business
![Page 10: September 2016...At a glance 2 •Largest independent cement producer in Africa, 44Mta capacity operational as of September 2016 – 29.3Mta capacity across three state-of-the-art](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050719/5f7c162dbf7bfa23185a52cb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Value Creation
Size and buying power enables favourable
procurement of plants at lower cost; brownfield
increases returns
Careful market selection looks for countries with good resources, cement deficit, ageing peers and
investment incentives
Larger scale of plants built with high degree of
standardisation and prefabrication to reduce capex, improve returns
New quarries enable optimal mining of
highest quality raw materials, improving
product quality
Good emissions control helps environment,
improves competitiveness in face of increasing industry regulation
Strong focus on quality ensures best-quality
materials, manufacturing processes and end
products, reduces waste
Fuel strategy improves margins by bulk
procurement, switch to lower-cost kiln/power
fuels e.g. coal
Larger kiln sizes enables higher-efficiency
production of clinker in most expensive step of
production
Use of modern vertical rolling mills enables finer
cement grinding, improves quality with
positive impact on setting time for block makers
Highly automated packing and loading reduces
manual loading, enables higher throughput
through packing lines
Ability to buy/operate trucks in bulk enables superior distribution capabilities, extends
market reach
Strong competitive advantages delivering improved returns for
shareholders

Fuel Costs in Nigeria
20
• Kiln fuel is the major cost of cement production
• Group margins are affected by mix of fuel in Nigerian kilns
• Preference is to run on gas
• Disruption and maintenance have lead to shortages since 2014, thus affecting margins
• Back-up LPFO often not available locally, forcing production shutdowns prior to use of coal (especially 2014)
• Gas priced in US$ but paid in naira, so is affected by FX
• Locally bought or mined coal is priced in Naira
• Switch to coal has several positive impacts
• Cheaper and more reliable than gas
• Also eliminates need for expensive LPFO as back-up, or imported coal
• Reduces FX need for imported fuel
• Could potentially run all lines 100% on local coal at lower cost than gas
• DCP committed to disclosing CO2 emissions in line with good practice and potential NSE requirements

Good Progress with Coal Upgrades
21
• Decided 2-3 years ago to diversify and de-risk fuel supplies
• Most coal mills will be operational by end of September 2016
• Immediate and positive impact on margins
• Already using locally purchased coal
• Blending with imported coal to assure optimal quality
• Begin mining our own coal at Ankpa, Kogi State in November 2016
• Quality is good enough to use 100%, not blend
• Coal will transform profitability of Gboko (previously 100% LPFO)
