Dear Shareholders,
Dear Employees, Dear Friends of the

In numerous aspects, the year 2022 was an exceptional


year for each one of us. As the Chairman of the
Board, I feel privileged and honoured to present this
statement on behalf of the Twiga Cement family and
the Board of Directors.

I convey my sincere gratitude to all our employees


and partners, especially our frontline workers who
consistently demonstrate exceptional commitment to
ensuring the safety of our people and maintaining the
strong performance of our business operations. It is
noteworthy that our teams have remained steadfast
in tackling the challenge of climate transformation
by implementing sustainable measures such as the
introduction of alternative fuel feeding systems and
utilizing alternative raw materials to reduce clinker
incorporation thus reducing our carbon footprint on the
environment.

Through our high-performance culture, we have


delivered strong operating results compared to the
year 2021, despite strong competition in the cement
manufacturing industry. The strong market position
TPCPLC has today is the achievement of the entire
TPCPLC team, of which I am very proud. My thanks,
therefore, go to all employees for their extraordinary
commitment.

As in previous years, TPCPLC has continued to leverage


the best practice experience from the HM Group,
through its global improvement programs, called CIP
and AEM Brainstorming. The implementation of CIP
resulted in specific actions which further optimized

prompt continuous evaluation of targets to align with TPCPLC’s sustainability
roadmap through to 2030.

Financial Year 2022 Highlights


The financial year 2022 was marked by the commissioning of our alternative
fuel plant, which will lead to increased utilization of biomass fuel in our kilns.
This green energy source is sustainable and can also recycle municipal waste.
Our collaboration with the government and local municipalities in Dar es
Salaam will be mutually beneficial. We aim to reduce cement CO2 emissions
by more than 10% by 2030, contributing to a better environment and
community wellbeing in the region.

TPCPLC has implemented a program aimed at rehabilitating the limestone


quarry from which we extract our raw material. The Quarry Rehabilitation and
Renaturation Project (QRRP) aims to restore the mined quarry, enhance urban
environmental conservation activities, and promote community awareness
and capacity building. In 2022, a Tanzanian team won a Biodiversity
Management Award and was recognized in Germany, demonstrating our
commitment to environmental conservation and sustainability. As of now,
more than 18 hectares of land have been rehabilitated, and over 3,300 trees
planted.

• Construction of Alternative Fuel Plant – the Company intends
to use this plant to generate energy for use in the production
process. The input for this plant will be sourced locally and
will include materials such as rice husks, cashew nuts, saw
dust, plastic wastes etc. Energy generated from this plant will
complement the natural gas currently used in the production
of cement. This plant can be used to recycle municipal
wastes and thus improves the general hygiene of the city of
Dar es Salaam. The construction of the alternative fuel plant
started in the last quarter of 2022 and will be commissioned

Terms and conditions of the above other receivables:


Staff advances are amounts raised to staff for small value expenses such as travelling costs that cannot be certainly determined in
advance. These are non-interest bearing and must be retired within 30 days. On aggregate, such balances are not material and their
very quick retirement period of 30 days since they were advanced reduces any risk of impairment.

Advances to suppliers are non-interest bearing and are generally on a maximum of 90 days terms. The balance at year-end represents
down payment to suppliers for upcoming deliveries and port clearing charges.

Immediately as such deliveries are made, normally within two months, respective expenses as applicable are actualised. Management
has assessed impairment on such balances and concluded that default is remote, and any provision would be immaterial.

Other short-term receivables relate to deposit to Tanzania Revenue Authority as a requirement for filing objection regarding tax cases disclosed under note 39

29. Employment Liabilities


The Company contributes to a pension scheme administered by National Social Security Fund. In addition to that, the Company has an
endowment scheme administered by the Jubilee Insurance Company of Tanzania Limited. These two schemes are defined contribution
plans. The cost of the endowment scheme is fully met by the Company (See also note 6 Significant Accounting Judgements, estimates,
and assumptions - Pension Obligations).

National Social Security Fund (NSSF) 1,364,100 1,296,593


2,127,818 2,105,093

In addition to the two defined contribution schemes above, the Company has entered into a voluntary agreement with the Tanzania
Union of Industrial and Commercial Workers (TUICO) of Tanzania Portland Cement Company to provide end-of-service benefits
to employees reaching retirement age. The retired employee is paid based on the length of service. Also, the voluntary agreement
provides for long-service awards paid in cement throughout the employment (every five years). The end-of-service benefit scheme is
reported as a post-employment benefit, while the long-service award is reported as other long-term benefits. The cost of both is fully
met by the Company and the plans are administered by the management of the Company.

Directors are of the opinion that the unfunded defined benefit obligation does not expose the Company to significant Company-
specific or plan-specific risk. There are no modifications/amendments to the defined benefit plans that resulted from either statutory
(labour law) or any other negotiations with employees’ union that would result into the past service cost being recognised in profit or
loss.

29. Employment Liabilities Continued

Significant actuarial assumptions:

Figures in TZS ‘000 2022 2021


Discount rate at 31 December 12.56% 15.49%
Future annual salary increases 5% 5%
Cost inflation 4.9% 4%

The cost of the defined benefit pension plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of the pension obligation
is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates, and future
pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly
sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the
interest rates of treasury bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at
intervals in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation
rates for the respective countries.

Sensitivity analysis

The assumptions with the greatest impact on the results are:

Figures in TZS ‘000 2022 2021


Discount +1% 5,137,360 5,098,444
Discount -1% 5,555,645 5,530,745
Service plus interest cost discount +1% 838,908 734,646
Service plus interest cost discount -1% 861,778 757,683

The sensitivity figures above are based on changes of reasonable possible changes and assumptions remaining unchanged in a period
of one year. Inflation is expected to be stable. The amounts shown under discount represent the value of the obligation after changing
the assumption on the statement of financial position while the amounts under interest cost shown the value of expense after changing
the assumption.

The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined obligation as it is unlikely that the change in
assumptions would occur.

Provision for the year 1,833,770 157,519
Release of provision - -
At 31 December 4,266,311 2,432,541

The key assumptions used in determining the provision are:



• The useful life of the site is estimated to be 30 years and the provision is made based on the discounted expected cost of closure
at the end of this period.
• The cost will be incurred in USD.
• The estimated cost is USD 0.2 per ton of material mined from the quarry site.
• The applicable discount rate equals 12.56% (2021: 15.49%) which fairly approximates the market rate.
• Tanzania inflation rate used was 4.9% (2021: 4%)

The expected timing of the provision is to be utilised over periods after more than one year from the reporting date.

The Company is organised into one single business unit for management purposes. Management monitors the operating results of the
business as a single unit for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

The revenue from external parties is measured in a manner consistent with that in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with
operating profit or loss in the financial statements.

The Company’s operations and tangible non-current assets are located in Tanzania. The Company’s cement sales are both in domestic
and export markets.

The Executive Management Committee is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and monitors the operating results of its
business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

42. Financial Risk Management


The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial instruments
is to raise finance for the Company’s operations. The Company has various financial assets such as trade receivables, short-term
deposits, and cash and cash equivalents, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, and credit risk. The board
reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.

a. Treasury risk management


The Company operates a treasury function to provide competitive funding costs, invest, and monitor financial risk. The Company does
not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and for managing financial risk.

b. Foreign currency risk


Foreign currency (FX) risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk is managed at an operational level and monitored by the Finance Director.

The following table shows the hypothetical impact on the financial result assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the
foreign currency (mainly USD and EUR have been considered) against our functional currency, the Tanzanian shillings, whereby the
positive values represent income and the negative values an expense in the income statement.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the net exposure as at 31 December 2022. The change of 10% is what is used
when determining the net foreign currency transaction risk reported internally to key management personnel to assess reasonably
possible change in foreign exchange rates.
