8. TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
2 Letter from the chairman
Dear shareholders,
I am writing to you for the first time as the Chairman of the Coemac
Group to give you the background on a financial year which has
been a very important turning point point for our Group both in
quantitative and qualitative terms.
Beginning with this final aspect, in 2015, the
Coemac Group abandoned the hundred-year-
old corporate denomination of Uralita, thus
leaving behind a brand, a product and a series
of connotations which evoked the past rather
than the future of the Group. Each one of our
businesses has been operating in the market with
its own brands and thus they are well-known to
our customers, suppliers and other operators in
the sector. Pladur®, Algiss® and Adequa® are
commercial ensigns of sufficient weight and fame
and do not need to be sent to market under the
umbrella of another brand which only makes
reference to the parent company.
Under this premise and bearing in mind the
important changes in the perimeter and size of
the Group carried out in 2015, we considered
that the moment had arrived to propose to the
shareholder an idea long discussed at the heart of
the organisation: to have a simple and descriptive
denomination in the parent company of the Group so that the
brands of our products were our identification in each of the
business lines. The shareholders agreed and backed the idea at last
year’s General Meeting.
Together with the change of denomination, the 2015 financial year
was marked by insulation materials leaving our portfolio of business.
As has been publicly explained on a number of occasions, the weak
evolution in European markets and, fundamentally, the devaluation
of the Russian Rouble and the consequent fall in the market, meant
that URSA® lost profitability thus preventing us from attending to
the commitments made in 2013 to the new financiers of the Group.
This circumstance obliged us to restructure the URSA® debt, by
giving 90% of the insulation business to the creditors as well as the
leadership in the management in exchange for the cancellation of
the totality of the financial debt that URSA® was bearing and the
amount of which exceeded 340 million Euros.
All of this has led us to place the focus of the Coemac Group on
the Iberian business of plasterboard, powdered plaster and PVC
pipes and fittings. This has meant a significant reduction both in the
volume of assets and in the consolidated turnover, but it gives us
good prospects for the future thanks to the disappearance of the
financial debt, the reorganisation and rationalisation of the business
carried out in previous years as well as the good behaviour of the
domestic markets and the impulse of export activity.
These factors have meant that in 2015, both the gypsum business
and the piping business, have given a positive EBITDA to the
Group, a fact which had not occurred since 2010. The behaviour
of the markets throughout the financial year and the even better
performance of our business in terms of growth in sales and
profitability will allow us to lay the foundations for the development
of the Group.
Annual Report 2015 8
9. 9TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
We face a future which is full of challenges but which is at the
same time hopeful. The prospects of growth and development of
our markets are encouraging and we must be capable of taking
advantage of these circumstances so as to, from our position as
leaders, beat those prospects and go beyond the forecasts.
In this scenario of changes and redefinition of the perimeter of
Coemac, we have thought it appropriate to carry out a series of
restructurings which will enable us to face the future without burdens
or conditioning factors. In this way, our exit from the insulating
materials market will lead us to establish a level of equity which is
suitable to the current size of the Group, whose assets and turnover
have been clearly affected by everything that happened in 2015.
The professional team that we have has shown its commitment and
capacity for many years and thanks to all of them, we have been
able to navigate our way through the worst financial and market
circumstances that our country has known in recent history. I am
convinced that all this effort has not been in vain and that we have
drawn valuable lessons from so many years of sacrifice.
This is the moment to begin to return to our people and to our
shareholders part of the value that has been lost along the way over
the last few years. That is the objective that the entire professional
team that I am proud to lead is aiming for.

international construction materials group currently dedicated to
the business of gypsum and pipes and fittings.
Nowadays, Coemac has a substantial industrial presence on the
Iberian peninsula as well as a significant presence in international
markets due to its growing export activity. The Group has a
powerful business culture, a clear focus on innovation and is very
well positioned to grow profitably in the period of market recovery
that we are now in.

16. Corporate strategy
Environment and opportunities
The construction materials industry is highly influenced by economic
cycles, environmental factors and globalisation. The demands
of this environment are the driving force behind the ongoing
development of highly competitive products and services, which are
capable of passing through frontiers to take growth opportunities
in new markets. Likewise, the concern for environmental aspects in
a context of lack of natural resources involves growth in the use of
clean technologies. Energy efficiency and sustainable solutions are
becoming more important in markets.
We understand that this context generates opportunities for
companies devoted to the market of materials and services
for construction among which we might mention:
• The opportunity of the neighbouring markets and emerging
countries for the export of products which improve their
competitive position and favour their development in
construction.
• The growing demand for environmentally-sustainable
solutions which enable Coemac to differentiate itself and
increase its catalogue of products and services in fields such as
energy efficiency.
• The benefits of innovation which at Coemac makes it possible
to develop differential solutions for customers with the aim
of incorporating the best materials and technologies currently
available.
• The opportunity presented by information and
communications technologies (ICT) to improve relations with
our customers and commercial partners and to develop more
efficient processes.
Construction, in Coemac’s main markets, is just beginning its
recovery process and it is still far from what is considered to be a
normal level of activity which makes it possible to take advantage
of the full capacity of the Group’s industrial plants. This available
capacity represents an important advantage for the organic growth
once demand is back to normal, which will allow us to generate
important incomes.
Coemac continues to attend to the evolution of market trends
and is making an ongoing effort to adapt so as to respond to the
challenges and opportunities which are available in the short,
medium and long term.
Strategy
Coemac’s strategy is based on three pillars:
1. Differential products and services. After completing the process
commercial model repositioning, the Group now has a catalogue
of differential products and services supported by a modern and
efficient industrial structure. Innovation is an essential component
of Coemac’s corporate culture and is a permanent commitment.
The numerous human, material and economic resources which
are devoted to this purpose make it possible to permanently
offer to the market unique and innovative products which
give significant added value to customers and to other parties
involved in the process of construction (advisers, distributors,
builders and installers).

17. 2. International diversification. Over the last few years, and
coinciding with the great deterioration in the construction
market in Spain, the Group has developed a clear
international vocation based on the professionalism and the
specialisation of its industrial and logistical operations in
each market. Currently the Group sells in over forty countries
around the world accounting for 25% of its turnover.
3. Operational excellence. Coemac is very aware that its
competitive environment requires maximum efficiency of
operations as the way to guarantee maximum value and
satisfaction to customers and suppliers. For this purpose, it
uses ICTs which are present in all Group processes from the
reception of orders to the logistics of the warehouses as well
as in all internal management systems.
In order to generate sustainable competitive advantages in relation
with each of the critical factors for the business success of Coemac,
it is key to be able to position ourselves favourably in the different
businesses, as each one of them shows different strengths.

General description of the business
What we do
Coemac’s gypsum business manufactures and sells construction
materials and solutions for internal partitions in the building sector,
whether residential or non-residential. The business is divided
into two differentiated lines: plasterboard systems (Pladur®) and
powdered gypsum (Algiss®). The current activity takes place basically
in Spain, Portugal and France but it also involves other export
markets in Africa, Central America and the Middle East.
Dry partition walls consist of the building of party
walls and wall cladding with plasterboard screwed to
a metallic structure which gives them the necessary
consistency. Generally, this kind of solution does
not require additional finishing as it is incorporated
in the plasterboard itself. Pladur® manufactures,
promotes and supplies construction systems made
up mainly of different types of boards, profiles and
compounds. The business has an industrial centre
in Valdemoro (Madrid) where it manufactures
plasterboards, profiles and compounds and which
also houses the central offices of the business.
Traditional masonry partition walls consist of the construction of
internal walls in bricks or concrete blocks, in the finishing of which it
is normal to use a coat of powdered gypsum (render) which, among
other functions, will beautify the final result. Algiss® activity is
centred on the business of powdered gypsum and plaster.
The wide range of products and services runs from traditional
manual gypsum to high quality and profitable innovative products
such as the projected gypsum and finishing gypsum or the systems
of silos or fillers for restoration and refurbishment. The business
has four manufacturing centres located in Beuda (Gerona), Mañeru
(Navarre), Martos (Jaen) and Valdemoro (Madrid).
Committed to sustainability and innovation
The Yesos Ibéricos business maintains a strong commitment to
sustainable development and starts from the conviction that
business decisions must contribute to the development of the
environment. For this reason, both at Pladur® and at Algiss® we
work to maximise the comfort of the customer and safety for the
environment and to contribute to achieving the main certifications
of sustainable building (LEED, BREEAM and VERDE).
Both brands are committed to a business strategy of ongoing
investment in R&D&I with the aim of optimising the productive
processes and developing new products and services which
respond to the most demanding building needs.
The gypsum business maintains agreements with institutions,
associations and universities with the aim of developing
and improving products as well as boosting innovation and
sustainability. The most outstanding case is the Pladur® building
solutions Competition which has rewarded creativity, originality and
talent in the use of this construction system by architecture students
in Spain and Portugal for the last 26 years.

Geographical markets and customer types
Yesos Ibéricos sells building solutions in over forty countries around
the world with an especially significant presence in Spain, France
and Portugal as well as North Africa, the Middle East and Central
America. A specific technical and commercial team, highly qualified
and made up of over forty professionals boosts the geographical
expansion of the company and supplies building solutions in the
different countries.
The products reach the market through a select network of
distributors made up of generalists, specialists and DIY stores. The
fundamental value proposal to the distribution channel consists of
efficient logistics which allows them to optimise their costs and their
resources apart from generating demand by advisers.
Business strategy and competitive position
The gypsum business continues to aim for profitable growth.
The fundamental strategy of Pladur® continues to be that of
encouraging the use of industrialised building solutions rather than
traditional walls. The considerable advantages of the plasterboard
systems allows their penetration to increase year after year and
enables the business to experience growth that is greater than
that of the building industry in general. The most important lever
of this change is the advisory function carried out by certain
decisive groups such as architects, promoters, builders, decorators,
distributors, installers and, in the final instance, users, who enjoy its
advantages and whose wellbeing encourages Pladur® to continue
to innovate.
Algiss®, for its part, is focussed on developing a new range
of gypsums with high performance so as to respond to a
market which is more and more demanding.
Competitive position
Pladur® features in the dictionary as a word to designate
plasterboard in Spain and also in some countries beyond our
frontiers, such as Portugal and Angola. This fact, which we
understand as positive, also involves a responsibility: that of
ensuring that the brand is associated with high quality building
solutions that are effective and efficient.
Over the last few years, the competitive environment for
plasterboard on the Iberian peninsula, the predominant market for
Pladur®, has changed substantially with the entry of two new actors
in Portugal. With them, there are now six manufacturers with an
industrial presence in this market. Nevertheless, Pladur® continues
to be the indisputable leader in Spain and maintains a significant
position in Portugal. In France, and despite its recent introduction in
2012, the brand is beginning to be recognised by the key players in
the marketplace.
As regards the traditional powdered gypsum market, this continues
to be fundamentally in the hands of small family companies which
generate supply in the market which is well above the existing
demand, which causes great competitive pressure regarding prices.
20. Annual Report 2015 20
In this context, Algiss® has made a commitment to differentiation
through building systems based on high-quality gypsums. The new
range of products focussed on the refurbishment and restoration
market and the new generations of high-performance gypsums for
building have become the current focus of the business.
Summary of products and services
Quality
All the products have rigorous corporate certificates which
guarantee the environmental management and the quality of the
brands, such as the Certificate of the quality management system
AENOR UNE-EN ISO 9001:2008 and that of the environmental
management system ISO 14001.

The company is based on two key capacities to structure this
proposal: proximity to the customer, whom Adequa® accompanies
and supports from the first stages of the project, and the
commitment to the operations of the business with total quality and
permanent improvement.
This model of success makes Adequa® the best guarantor for the
introduction of new and innovative products in the Spanish market.
Thus, the company was a pioneer in the development of technology
Informe Anual 201523 Annual Report 201523
24. THE COEMAC GROUP
for PVC corrugation in large diameters and for the
industrialisation of the bi-oriented PVC pipe system.
This history of innovation and development is
maintained and will continue to be the basis of the
future of Adequa®.
It is worth pointing out that the Adequa® business
model has been reinforced over the last few years
thanks to the implementation of a more agile
and dynamic organisation, capable not only of
continuing to develop this value proposal in Spain
but also of extending it to new markets where
Adequa® does not yet have a presence.
Summary of Products and services
Quality
The commitment to quality is an essential component of the
Adequa® value proposal. In order to make it a reality, the company

28. The recovery of the Spanish economy
continued throughout 2015
The Spanish economy closed 2015 with an annual
average increase of 3.2% in its gross domestic product
and so exceeded the expectations at the beginning
of the year. The economic growth continued to find
support both in external and internal factors. Among
the former, the most important were low oil prices, the
gradual improvement in European demand and the
monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB),
which has provided a favourable context regarding the
Euro exchange rate, interest rates and liquidity.
With regard to internal conditioning factors, the recovery in
demand is based on both transitory and structural elements.
Highly positive progress in construction
after the change in tendency begun in 2014
Construction in the Spanish market continued the improvement
begun in mid-2014, accumulating growth in the segments of new
build and renovation, although bidding for civil works was reduced
for a second half year of low activity. According to the latest data
published by the Spanish Ministry of Public Works, accumulated in
December 2015, the building permits for new residential grew by
43%, the non-residential ones increased by 30% and the restoration
and refurbishment of buildings increased by 11%. On the other
hand, the public bidding for hydraulic works was reduced by 22%.
With regard to the behaviour of building in Coemac’s main
international markets, the authorisations for residential new building
remained stable in France, while in Portugal they grew by 20%.

Coemac improves its
operating result and
restructures its balance
sheet in 2015 after the loss
of control of the insulation
business in September
30. In the whole of 2015, Coemac obtained sales of 129.7 million Euros,
which represented growth of 7.4% in comparison with the previous
year. This increase arose in both half-years although in the second
one the growth was reduced to half due to the slowing down of the
building market during the last few months of the year.
By geographical areas, the sales in Spain grew by 5.6% with a
significant advance in the building and civil works markets although
the above-mentioned deceleration was appreciated in the fourth
quarter due to different political and economic factors. For their
part, international markets (which represented 25% of sales in 2015)
continued their satisfactory evolution from previous years and grew
by 13.6%, with especially positive behaviour in the second half with
an increase of the company’s presence in the French market and
making more progress in exports to other countries.
Breakdown of sales by markets
The year 2015 was a turning point for the Group, after the
divestment of the Tiles business (Cobert®) and the loss of control
of the Insulation Business (URSA®). As a consequence of these
operations, the Group assets were reduced by 515 million Euros
(from 717 to 202 million Euros) and the turnover by 432 million Euros
(from 562 to 130 million Euros).
Evolution of key figures
The loss of control of the insulation business, which took place in
September, has enabled Coemac to dispose of practically all of its
financial debt which has gone from 365 to 1.5 million Euros at the
close of 2015. At the same time, this operation caused a deterioration
in own funds of the parent company of the Group, Coemac, S.A.,
although without any impact at the consolidated level. Additionally, it
has been considered appropriate to undertake a series of provisions
and depreciation of assets (fundamentally fiscal credits) to restructure
the Group balance sheet and adapt it to the new perimeter which has
affected the results for 2015 negatively.
For this reason, the net result attributed to Coemac in 2015 was of -76.0
million Euros, which includes the atypical effects of the provisions and
restructuring mentioned of -53.9 million Euros and of the discontinued
activities of -4.5 million Euros.
Coemac maintained a net financial debt of 1.5 million Euros on 31st
December 2015.

Gypsum (Pladur® and Algiss®)
In 2015, the gypsum business obtained sales of 77.7 million Euros,
6.3% greater than was obtained the previous year. In this way, for a
second year, the increase in sales was consolidated after the years
of market adjustment. The growth took place in both half years
although in the second half, it was affected by the deceleration in
sales in Spain at the end of the year.
By geographical areas, the growth in sales took place both in
Spain and in international markets. The business is consolidating
its position in neighbouring countries and carrying out important
export operations to other markets.
From the point of view of product lines, Pladur® completed a year
of growth in all its markets while Algiss® slightly reduced its total
sales due to extraordinary orders agreed in the first half of 2014
which were not repeated in 2015.
The Ebitda obtained by the business at the end of the year was
10.6 million Euros, which is an increase of 31.4% versus 2014 due to
greater sales and the industrial improvements carried out.
Main lines of action carried out in 2015
• Improvement in industrial efficiency
• Development of internationalisation (specific equipment and
range of products)
• Progress in the construction of the Pladur® plant in Gelsa
(Zaragoza)

Pipes and fittings (Adequa®)
The business of pipes and fittings, Adequa®, completed 2015 with
sales of 54.6 million Euros, which means an improvement of 8.2%
in comparison with 2014. Both semesters showed growth although
during the second half, this was slightly less due to the slowing of
sales in the Spanish market at the end of the year.
In geographical terms, the growth arose mainly in the national
market where the business performed better than the market and
the competitive position was consolidated in the building and civil
works segments. Export activity was damaged due to the increase
of competitive pressure in France, especially during the first half of
the year although this was partly offset with the progress in other
international markets.
Despite the large decrease in the price of raw materials and oil
throughout the second half, the price of PVC resin did not decrease
in the same proportion. Even so, the business advanced in its
plan for the improvement of industrial efficiency, with significant
improvements in product quality and completed 2015 with an
Ebitda of 1.5 million Euros.

33. Annual Report 201533SUMMARY OF 2015 BUSINESS YEAR
Market environment
Both the recent development of the economy in Spain and the
external factors which are supporting the recovery lead to a forecast
that the growth of GDP will stabilise during the next two years at
about 2.7%. The strength of the national macro-economic data
over the last few months is offset by the doubts and uncertainties
both outside and within Spain. However, the activity figures point
to growth having stayed high with hardly any signs of deceleration
during the close of the previous financial year and the beginning of
the present financial year.
It is expected that the fall in the price of oil and monetary policy will
continue to boost the recovery although at the domestic level the
uncertainty about economic policy stands out as one of the main
obstacles for sustainability.
The building sector returned to growth in 2015 boosted by the
residential and civil works segments. For 2016, our forecast is an
additional improvement if the non-residential segment returns to
growth and civil works manage to overcome the post-electoral void
without again going into recession.
For the next few years, it is expected that construction will progress
somewhat more than the average for the economy, bearing in mind
that, although demand continues not to be very significant, it has
been neglected over the last few years.
Outside the frontiers of Spain, it is expected that the French
residential market will return to growth during 2016 after the
increase in authorisations for new building recorded in 2015 after
the activation of a range of policies favourable to residential
investment. Nevertheless, this improvement will be progressive
with the result that it is still expected that the competitive pressure
perceived in 2015 will be maintained.
Forecast results
This market context is reflected in the forecasts published by the
relevant reports in the sector (Euroconstruct and others) and in our
own commercial plans that are under way, referring both to the
domestic market and to international markets.
The forecasts are compatible with a new growth in our sales in 2016.
The increase in turnover, together with the plans for improvement in
the operational excellence of Coemac’s business and the reduction
in size of corporate operations, will make it possible to continue
improving regarding the operating result for the next year in
accordance with the strategic plan 2016-2018.
Investments
The strategic Plan for the period 2016-2018 sets down investments
dedicated to a range of initiatives for growth and improvement,
foremost among which are the future of the opening of the
plasterboard industrial manufacturing centre (Pladur®) located in
Gelsa (Zaragoza).

39. Annual Report 201539ORGANS OF GOVERNANCE
The satisfactory progress, the achievement of objectives and the
future plan of any organisation come from managing the potential
risks of all kinds in an efficient manner. For Coemac, as an industrial
group, business risk management is a very important main axis.
At Coemac, business Risk Management is the responsibility of the
Audit Committee as an organ of the Board of Directors. The risk
management system is worked out from its identification, analysis
and evaluation, both by activity and the current environment, as well
as from the mitigating controls and action plans.
The duties of the Audit Committee regarding risk management are
as follows:
(a) To identify the different types or risk (external, business,
internal, as well as other risks).
(b) To identify the measures planned to mitigate the impact of the
risks identified, if they should become reality.
(c) To verify and supervise the Corporate Risks Map as a tool to
identify, manage and monitor those risks with a significant
impact on Group objectives.
Coemac has an integrated management system implemented in
which the critical risks in each of the key business processes are
systematically identified, supervised and monitored. In the process
of control and risk management different areas of the business are
involved, including both the business units and corporate activities.
The different risks are identified and evaluated from the analysis
of the events which might give rise to them. The evaluation is
carried out using metrics which calculate the probability and the
impact. The definition of the scale of importance and the scale of
probability is carried out according to qualitative and quantitative
criteria. Once the critical risks have been identified and re-
evaluated, the Management of the company sets up concrete
actions, with a person responsible and a space of time to mitigate
their impact and probability, at the same time as reviewing the
effectiveness of the current controls over the risks. This analysis
of the risk, the controls and the actions to mitigate their impact
and probability are presented annually to the Audit Committee
for supervision and approval. Subsequently, the Audit Committee
informs the Board of Directors.
This process, carried out annually and coordinated by Internal Audit,
makes it possible to obtain the Risk Map for the company. From
this map, the most significant risks are extracted which, together
with the main variations in comparison with the previous year, are
presented to the Audit Commission for discussion and approval.

The existence of channels of specific communication and active
listening for each of the stakeholders allows them to influence the
business project. In turn, Coemac benefits since it can adapt its
objectives and business strategies to the needs of the environment
in which it operates.
