OPTIMISTIC MEDIUM-TERM OUTLOOK AND AGGRESSIVE NEW
DECARBONIZATION GOALS ANNOUNCED AT CEMEX DAY 2022
| • | CEMEX sets a new goal of below 430 kg of CO2 per ton of cementitious material for 2030, a more than 47% reduction in emissions1. |
| • | CEMEX has increased its 2030 goal for clean energy consumption to 65% from 55% as well as established Scope 3 2030 targets for the first time. |
MONTERREY, MEXICO. NOVEMBER 16, 2022 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) announced today during its annual investors and analyst day that it expects a promising medium-term outlook for its markets, bolstered by fiscal stimulus packages in the US and Europe related to infrastructure and green spending as countries continue investing in transitioning to a lower-carbon economy. In addition, the company expects significant demand in the Industrial & Commercial sector with onshoring and the redefinition of trade relationships due to supply chain constrains and geopolitical tensions. Mexico, Europe, and the US are particularly well-positioned to take advantage of the reshoring trends. The company also announced aggressive new 2030 decarbonization goals, spurred by record-breaking CO2 reductions in the past two years.
“In the past three years, our business has proven its immense resilience in the face of a global pandemic, historic inflation, and supply chain disruptions,” said CEMEX CEO Fernando González. “I am incredibly proud of how we have navigated the extraordinary developments of the last few years. With the highest inflation in 40 years, we have been successful in recovering costs in dollar terms. In 2023, however, we must develop our pipeline of growth projects while we continue our efforts to recover margins as some cost headwinds, particularly in Europe, are still ahead of us. Our growth, climate action, and digital strategies, coupled with our Urbanization Solutions business will provide a strong base for growth over the medium term.”
CEMEX has weathered inflation with a bold pricing initiative that has more than offset inflationary costs in dollar terms, but high inflation and supply chain headwinds have delayed its ability to regain margins. In the US, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes $110 billion dollars of incremental spending for highways and streets, the most cement-intensive portion of infrastructure. In Europe, the €750 billion from the Recovery Fund to invest in green technologies, clean energy and transportation, renovating buildings, and upgrading digital infrastructure, is expected to also be an important driver for building materials. In Mexico, the onshoring phenomenon is expected to drive demand for manufacturing and industrial construction in the medium-term.

CEMEX also announced at its CEMEX Day the goals of its new 2030 roadmap. The aggressive 2030 goals include a 47% reduction2 in CO2 per ton of cementitious material and a commitment to reach 65% consumption of clean electricity by 2030. Additionally, for the first time, CEMEX has set ambitious goals for Scope 3 emissions, showing CEMEX’s commitment to decarbonize its entire value chain.
“Our products are essential for the wellbeing and development of humanity, and I am convinced that the transition to a net-zero industry is feasible,” added Mr. González. “Moreover, the journey to decarbonization can be profitable, as our customers reward those companies that are leaders in this global transition.”
Earlier this month, CEMEX became one of the first companies in the cement industry to have its 2030 decarbonization targets verified by the Science Based Targets initiative for alignment with their 1.5ºC scenario, the most ambitious scenario available to the industry.
Vertua, the CEMEX’s portfolio of sustainable and lower carbon products, is the linchpin of its contribution to decarbonizing the built environment and building a better, more sustainable, future for all. One of the most accepted lower carbon products in the industry, Vertua has seen strong adoption across CEMEX’s markets. The company expects Vertua lower carbon products to account for the majority of its cement and concrete sales by 2025.
CEMEX launched its Future in Action program in March of 2021 to build a more sustainable, circular future, with the primary objective of becoming a net-zero CO2 company. Since then, the company has achieved record-breaking CO2 reductions, and its performance to date has given the company the confidence that it can achieve a more accelerated pathway for 2030.
CEMEX committed to the following 2030 goal vs. a 2020 baseline:
| • | Reduction in scope 1 emissions of 31% per ton of cementitious material. |
| • | Reduction in scope 2 emissions of 58% per ton of cementitious material. |
| • | Reduction of scope 3 emissions of 25% per ton of purchased clinker and cement. |
| • | Reduction of scope 3 emissions for 40% per ton of purchased fuels. |
| • | Reduction of 42% in absolute scope 3 emissions from the use of traded fuels. |
| • | Reduction of 30% of scope 3 emissions from upstream transportation and distribution per ton of materials transported. |

Although CEMEX believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct, and actual results may vary materially from historical results or results anticipated by forward-looking statements due to various factors. These forward-looking statements reflect, as of the date on which such forward-looking statements are made, our current expectations and projections about future events based on our knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about future events, unless otherwise indicated. These statements necessarily involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated in this presentation. Among others, such risks, uncertainties, and assumptions include those discussed inCEMEX’s most recent annual report and those detailed from time to time inCEMEX’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores), which factors are incorporated herein by reference, including, but not limited to: impact of pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases and the response of governments and other third parties, including with respect to the novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 and its variants(“COVID-19”), which have affected and may continue to adversely affect, among other matters, the ability of our operating facilities to operate at full or any capacity, supply chains, international operations, availability of liquidity, investor confidence and consumer spending, as well as the availability of, and demand for, our products and services; the cyclical activity of the construction sector; our exposure to other sectors that impact our and ourclients’ businesses, such as, but not limited to, the energy sector; availability of raw materials and related fluctuating prices; volatility in pension plan asset values and liabilities, which may require cash contributions to the pension plans; the impact of environmental cleanup costs and other liabilities relating to existing and/or divested businesses; our ability to secure and permit aggregates reserves in strategically located areas; the timing and amount of federal, state and local funding for infrastructure; changes in the level of spending for private residential and private nonresidential construction; changes in our effective tax rate; competition in the markets in which we offer our products and services; general political, social, health, economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate or that affect our operations and any significant economic, health, political or social developments in those markets, as well as any inherent risks to international operations; the regulatory environment, including environmental, energy, tax, labor, antitrust, and acquisition-related rules and regulations; our ability to satisfy our obligations under our material debt agreements, the indentures that govern our outstanding notes, and other debt instruments and financial obligations, including our subordinated notes with no fixed maturity and other financial obligations; the availability of short-term credit lines or working capital facilities, which can assist us in connection with market cycles; the impact of our below investment grade debt rating on our cost of capital and on the cost of the products and services we purchase; loss of reputation of our brands; our ability to consummate asset sales, fully integrate newly acquired businesses, achieve cost-savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, implement our pricing initiatives for our products and generally meet our “OperationResilience”strategy’s goals; the increasing reliance on information technology infrastructure for our sales, invoicing, procurement, financial statements and other processes that can adversely affect our sales and operations in the event that the infrastructure does not work as intended, experiences technical difficulties or is subjected to cyber-attacks; changes in the economy that affect demand for consumer goods, consequently affecting the demand for our products and services; weather conditions, including but not limited to, excessive rain and snow, and disasters such as earthquakes and floods; trade barriers, including tariffs or import taxes and changes in existing trade policies or changes to, or withdrawals from, free trade agreements, including the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement(“USMCA”), which was signed on November 30, 2019 and entered into force on July 1, 2020, superseding the North American Free Trade Agreement(“NAFTA”); availability and cost of trucks, railcars, barges and ships, as well as their licensed operators, for transport of our materials; labor shortages and constraints; terrorist and organized criminal activities as well as geopolitical events, such as war and armed conflicts, including the current war between Russia and Ukraine; declarations of insolvency or bankruptcy, or becoming subject to similar proceedings; and, natural disasters and other unforeseen events (including global health hazards such as COVID-19). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from historical results, performance or achievements and/or results, performance or achievements expressly or implicitly anticipated by the forward-looking statements, or otherwise could have an impact on us or our consolidated entities.
