Cemex reports record third quarter EBITDA

with 32% growth and material margin expansion

Monterrey, Mexico. October 26 , 2023 – Cemex reported today another quarter of exceptional results, with a 9% growth in Sales and 32% increase in EBITDA, and EBITDA Margin expansion of 3.5pp to 19.9%. For the first time since the launch of Cemex’s pricing strategy in 2021, designed to regain profitability after a surge in input cost inflation, quarterly EBITDA margin exceeded our goal of recovering 2021 margins. Free cash flow after maintenance capex grew significantly, reflecting EBITDA growth and lower working capital spending. Leverage ratio stood at 2.16x, marking the third consecutive quarter of declining leverage, accelerating the path to an investment grade rating.

Results were bolstered by Cemex’s strong pricing across all markets, decelerating input cost inflation, contributions from Cemex’s growth investment strategy, and Urbanization Solutions business. In the third quarter of 2023, growth investments contributed 11% of incremental EBITDA and 10% of total EBITDA.

“2023 is proving to be an exceptional year for our company, and I am especially encouraged by our recovery of EBITDA margins to 2021 levels, a key strategic priority,” says Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. “The success of our pricing strategy, contribution of growth investments and our fast-growing Urbanization Solutions business, as well as decelerating cost inflation, are contributing to profitability in a very meaningful way. Importantly, we are making significant progress on our decarbonization roadmap, reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 12% and 11%, respectively, since 2020. Prior to the introduction of our Future in Action program in 2020, a reduction of this magnitude would have taken almost 15 years”.

Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2023 reached US$4.6 billion, an increase of +9% on a like-to-like basis, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Higher prices in local currency terms in all our regions drove our top line growth.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 3.7pp to 65.8% during the third quarter of 2023, from 69.5% in the same period last year, mainly driven by pricing, easing cost headwinds, and operational efficiencies. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of Net Sales.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 0.2pp to 21.1% during the third quarter of 2023 compared with the same period last year, mainly due to distribution expenses.

Operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2023 reached US$910 million, increasing 32% on a like-to-like basis, with growth in all four regions. Operating EBITDA outperformance reflects not only strong pricing and decelerating input cost inflation, but also the success of our growth investment strategy, as well as continued growth in our Urbanization Solutions business.

Operating EBITDA margin increased by 3.5pp from 16.4% in the third quarter of 2022 to 19.9%. The expansion reflects the success of our pricing strategy with quarterly margin exceeding our goal of recovering 2021 levels for the first time, despite the headwinds of lower consolidated volumes and product mix.

Controlling interest net income (loss) resulted in an income of US$126 million in the third quarter of 2023 versus US$494 million in the same quarter of 2022. After adjusting for an extraordinary gain from the sale of Costa Rica, El Salvador and Neoris assets in the prior year, Net Income declined approximately $130 million dollars due to higher taxes.

Our Mexican operations delivered strong results, with a 21% growth in Sales supported by a double-digit increase in volumes and prices across all products. Operating EBITDA also increased by 31%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth. Operating EBITDA margin expanded 2.4pp year-over-year on the back of strong pricing and volumes, coupled with decelerating costs.

The Urbanization Solutions business contributed to approximately 12% of Mexico’s total incremental Operating EBITDA growth in the quarter.

Cement volumes rose double-digit, the second consecutive quarter of growth, supported by an increase in bagged cement volumes for the first time since second quarter of 2021, while bulk cement continued its double-digit growth trajectory driven by the formal sector. Ready-mix and aggregates volumes also benefited from strength in formal construction with double-digit volume growth.

Cement prices were flat sequentially, while ready-mix and aggregates increased by 2% and 5%, respectively.

During the quarter, our 1.5-million-ton capacity expansion in Tepeaca came online, allowing us to serve the expected medium-term demand of the country at a lower cost per ton than existing capacity.

The United States had another strong quarter with Operating EBITDA growing by 36%, driven by pricing strategy and decelerating costs. Operating EBITDA margin expanded 4.4pp year-over-year due to prices, decelerating costs, and lower imports, however, it declined sequentially mainly due to higher maintenance and lower volumes.

Cement and ready-mix prices rose double digits, while aggregates increased high single-digit. On a sequential basis, cement and ready-mix prices rose low single-digit, reflecting the success of our second half price increases implemented in most of our states.

Cement and ready-mix volumes declined primarily due to continued weakness in California along with the winding down of several large industrial projects. Aggregates volumes grew in the quarter, benefiting from recent acquisitions in Florida and Canada.

Commercial and residential activity slowed during the quarter, while infrastructure activity continued to grow. In response to the demand environment, we reduced cement imports to support margins.

EMEA delivered solid results despite a challenging demand environment, with Operating EBITDA continuing to grow, while margin expanded to the highest level since the onset of the pandemic.

In Europe, Operating EBITDA rose 17%, while margin increased to a record high of 17.3%, a 2.6pp increase. Despite lower volumes, pricing remained resilient with cement prices up 21%, commensurate with a still elevated inflationary environment, while prices were flat sequentially. Ready-mix and aggregate prices also showed significant growth but declined slightly sequentially due to geographic mix.

In Asia, Middle East and Africa, Operating EBITDA increased low single-digits in the quarter while margin contracted by 1.2pp, primarily due to the competitive environment in the Philippines.

Net sales and Operating EBITDA in the South, Central America and Caribbean region rose 11% and 18%, respectively, driven primarily by prices and decelerating energy costs. Margin improved 1pp with a slight decline in sequential margin, which is largely explained by higher maintenance in the quarter.

Cement prices for the region rose high single-digit. Despite continued pressure in bagged cement in the region, volumes grew for the first time in two years, driven largely by positive performance in Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. Demand has been supported by formal construction related to infrastructure projects, such as the Bogotá Metro in Colombia, the 4th Bridge over the Canal in Panama and tourism related projects in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.

Higher Operating EBITDA and a lower investment in working capital, partially offset by higher taxes, resulted in free cash flow after maintenance capex of almost US$700 million year-to-date, US$535 million higher than the same period last year.

The increase in cash taxes is a consequence of stronger results, as well as the tax effect of foreign exchange on our U.S. dollar denominated debt.

During the quarter, the main uses of cash below the Free cash flow line relate to the payment of coupons of our subordinated notes with no fixed maturity, as well as from our derivative instruments.

Equity-related information

As of December 31, 2022**,** based on our latest 20-F annual report, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,487,786,971**.** See Cemex’s reports furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information regarding repurchases of securities and other developments that may have caused a change in the number of CPO-equivalents outstanding after December 31, 2022. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, no CPOs were repurchased by Cemex. ****

One Cemex ADS represents ten Cemex CPOs. One Cemex CPO represents two Series A shares and one Series B share.

For purposes of this report, outstanding CPO-equivalents equal the total number of Series A and B shares outstanding as if they were all held in CPO form, less CPOs held by Cemex and its subsidiaries, which as of December 31, 2022, were 20,541,277. Restricted CPOs allocated to eligible employees as variable compensation are not included in the outstanding CPO-equivalents.

Derivative instruments

The following table shows the notional amount for each type of derivative instrument and the aggregate fair market value for all of Cemex’s derivative instruments as of the last day of each quarter presented.

1) The exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures arising from regular operations, netinvestment hedge and forecasted transactions. As of September 30, 2023, the derivatives related to net investment hedge represent a notional amount of US$1,058 million.
--- ---
2) Interest-rate swap derivatives related to bank loans.
--- ---

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize the fair value of all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for cash-flow-hedging purposes, in such cases, changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings as the effects of the underlying are recognized in the income statement. Moreover, in transactions related to net investment hedges, changes in fair market value are recorded directly in equity as part of the currency translation effect and are reclassified to the income statement only in the case of a disposal of the net investment. As of September 30, 2023, in connection with its derivatives portfolio’s fair market value recognition, Cemex recognized a change in mark to market as compared to 2Q23 resulting in a financial liability of US$23 million.

Relevant accounting effects included in the reported financial statements

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Cemex recognized non-cash impairment charges in the statement of operations for an aggregate amount of US$442 million within the line-item other expenses, net, of which US$365 million refer to impairment of goodwill and US$77 million refer to impairment of property, machinery and equipment. The impairment losses of goodwill refer to Cemex operating segments in the United States for US$273 million and Spain for US$92 million, which reduced the line item of goodwill in the statement of financial position. Moreover, the impairment losses of property, machinery and equipment relate mainly also to Cemex’s businesses in the United States and Spain.

The impairment losses of goodwill are mainly related to the significant increase in the discount rates as compared to 2021 and the resulting significant decrease in the Cemex’s projected cash flows in these operating segments considering the global high inflationary environment, which increased the risk-free rates, and the material increase in the funding cost observed in the industry during the period. These negative effects more than offset the expected improvements in the estimated Operating EBITDA generation in both of Cemex’s businesses in the United States and Spain. These non-cash impairment losses did not impact Cemex’s liquidity, Operating EBITDA, and cash taxes payable. Nevertheless, it decreased Cemex’s total assets and equity and generated net losses in the fourth quarter.
