(1)  For the period January-March 2018, the effect of the potential dilutive shares generates anti-dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted loss per share.

 

Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2018 reached US$3.4 billion, representing an increase of 8%, or an increase of 2% on a like-to-like basis, for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations, compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase on a like-to-like basis was due to higher prices of our products, in local-currency terms in Mexico, the U.S., and our Europe and Asia, Middle East and Africa regions, as well as higher volumes in the U.S. and our Asia, Middle East and Africa region.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.4pp during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the same period last year, from 67.8% to 68.2%. The increase was mainly driven by higher energy costs.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.9pp during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the same period last year, from 21.0% to 21.9%. The increase was mainly driven by higher distribution expenses.

Operating EBITDA decreased by 4% to US$535 million during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the same period last year, or a decrease of 6% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and foreign exchange fluctuations. The decrease on a like-to-like basis was mainly due to lower contributions in our South, Central America and the Caribbean, Europe, the U.S. and Asia, Middle East and Africa regions, partially offset by higher contributions in Mexico.

Operating EBITDA margin decreased by 1.9pp from 17.7% in the first quarter of 2017 to 15.8% this quarter.

Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a gain of US$34 million, resulting mainly from the derivatives related to CEMEX and GCC shares.

Foreign exchange results for the quarter was a loss of US$82 million, mainly due to the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the fluctuation of the Euro and the Colombian peso versus the U.S. dollar.

Controlling interest net income (loss) was an income of US$26 million in the first quarter of 2018 versus an income of US$336 million in the same quarter of 2017. The lower income primarily reflects lower operating earnings before other expenses, net, lower other income, net, a higher foreign exchange loss, higher income tax, a negative variation in discontinued operations and lower income from financial instruments, partially offset by lower financial expenses and lower non-controlling interest net income.

Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$3 million during the quarter.

In Mexico, daily sales volumes for domestic gray cement decreased by 1% during the first quarter of 2018, while daily sales volumes for ready mix and aggregates increased by 8% and 11%, respectively. Both domestic gray cement and ready-mix prices increased on a sequential basis by 2% during the quarter. Year-over-year prices for domestic gray cement and ready-mix increased by 5% and 10%, respectively.

Our decrease in cement volume during the first quarter was mainly due to a high base of comparison versus the same period in 2017, when several infrastructure projects were under construction as well as volumes related to last year’s electoral cycle. Our increase in ready-mix volumes reflects favorable activity in formal housing as well as local government projects. The formal residential sector was the main driver for cement consumption during the first quarter. The self-construction moderated its growth during the quarter. Regarding infrastructure activity, our volumes to this sector declined during the first quarter reflecting lower budgetary investment as well as a high base of comparison in the first quarter of 2017.

In the United States, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 4%, 8%, and 5%, respectively, during the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period last year. On a like-to-like basis, excluding volumes related to the Fairborn cement plant, domestic gray cement volumes increased by 5% year-over-year. On a like-to-like basis, domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates prices increased by 3%, 1%, and 4%, respectively, year-over-year.

Our year-over-year volume performance was driven largely by solid demand in our western states. Residential activity remained the key driver of demand, with housing starts increasing 8% year-over-year, with both single and multi-family starts expanding 7% and 10%, respectively. In the industrial-and-commercial sector, construction spending is up 3% year-to-date February with strength in lodging and commerce. On the infrastructure sector, while spending is flat year-to-date February, the increase in streets-and-highways contract awards during 2017 is 8%.

In the Philippines, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 16% during the first quarter of 2018, versus the comparable period of last year. Our increase in cement volumes during the first quarter was supported by improved infrastructure activity, favorable weather conditions, as well as a low base of comparison versus the first quarter of 2017. During the quarter, we increased our domestically-produced cement and increased our dispatched volumes reflecting the initial progress of our debottlenecking efforts. The residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors continue to perform well.

In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 31% during the first quarter of 2018, versus the comparable period of the previous year. Our volume increase was mainly due to a low base of comparison in first quarter 2017, which was heavily affected by adverse weather conditions after the devaluation of the Egyptian pound. In addition, there were higher dispatches to Lower Egypt as a result of the temporary stoppage of two cement plants in the Sinai region.

During the quarter, we redeemed the full outstanding principal amount of our €400 million 4.750% senior secured notes due 2022 and our US$341 million 7.250% senior secured notes due 2021. In addition, we repaid the full outstanding principal amount of our 3.750% subordinated convertible notes due 2018 that did not convert at its stated maturity (March 2018). To fund the payment of these senior secured notes, convertible notes and the free cash flow deficit during the quarter, we used the US$350 million cash reserve created in December 2017 (to pay the senior secured notes), withdrew the remaining US$377 million under a term loan in our Credit Agreement, and used a portion of our revolving credit facility.

Our total debt plus perpetual notes during the quarter reflects a negative foreign exchange conversion effect of US$79 million.

(1) Exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures that arise from the regular operations and from forecasted transactions.
(2) Until June 30, 2017 equity derivatives were related with options on the Parent Company own shares and as of March 31, 2018 to forwards, net of cash collateral, over the shares of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A.B. de C.V.
(3) Interest-rate swap related to our long-term energy contracts.
(4) Forward contracts negotiated to hedge the price of the fuel consumed in certain operations.
(5) As required by IFRS, the equity related derivatives fair market value as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 includes a liability of US$6 million and of US$41 million, respectively, relating to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s mandatorily convertible securities.

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at their estimated fair market value, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for cash-flow-hedging purposes, in which case changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and then reclassified into earnings as the inverse effects of the underlying hedged items flow through the income statement, and/or transactions related to net investment hedges, in which case changes in fair value are recorded directly in equity as part of the currency translation effect, and are reclassified to the income statement only upon disposal of the net investment. As of March 31, 2018, in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and liabilities resulting in a net liability of US$25 million, including a liability of US$6 million corresponding to an embedded derivative related to our mandatorily convertible securities, which according to our debt agreements, is presented net of the assets associated with the derivative instruments.

Newly issued IFRS effective in 2018

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: classification and measurement (“IFRS 9”)

IFRS 9 sets forth the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, the accounting for expected credit losses of financial assets and commitments to extend credits, as well as the requirements for hedge accounting; and will replace IAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 was adopted beginning January 1, 2018 on prospective basis. Among other aspects, IFRS 9 implemented the classification categories for financial assets of: 1) amortized cost, that will significantly comprise IAS39 held to maturity and loans and receivables categories; 2) fair value through other comprehensive income, similar to IAS 39 held to maturity category; and 3) fair value through the income statement with the same IAS 39 definition. The adoption of such classification categories did not have any significant effect on CEMEX’s operating results and financial situation.

In addition, under the new impairment model based on expected credit losses, impairment losses for the entire lifetime of financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, are recognized on initial recognition, and at each subsequent reporting period, even in the absence of a credit event or if the loss has not yet been incurred, considering for their measurement past events and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability. In this regard, CEMEX implemented an expected credit loss model applicable to its trade accounts receivable that considers the historical performance, as well as the credit risk and expected developments for each group of customers. The effects for adoption of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 related to the new expected credit loss model represented an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts as of January 1, 2018 of approximately $520 millions of pesos recognized against equity.

In connection with hedge accounting, IFRS 9 maintains the same hedging accounting categories of cash flow hedge, fair value hedge and hedge of a net investment established in IAS 39, as well as the requirement of recognizing the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge immediately in the income statement. Nonetheless, the requirements to qualify a hedging transaction are more flexible. The adoption of the new hedging accounting requirements did not have any significant effect on CEMEX’s operating results and financial situation.

IFRS 15, Revenues from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”)

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, identifying: a) the contract(s) with a customer (agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligations); b) the different performance obligations (promises) in the contract and account for those separately; c) the transaction price (amount of consideration an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services); d) the distribution of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of each distinct good or service; and e) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for the sale of goods) or over time (typically for the sale of services and construction contracts). CEMEX adopted IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective approach, without any significant effects on its operating results and financial situation.

Among other minor effects, the main changes under IFRS 15 as they apply to CEMEX refer to: a) several reclassifications that are required to comply with IFRS 15 new accounts in the statement of financial position; b) rebates and/or discounts offered to customers in a sale transaction that are redeemable by the customer in a subsequent purchase transaction are considered separate performance obligations, rather than future costs, and a portion of the sale price of such transaction allocated to these promises should be deferred to revenue until the promise is redeemed or expires; and c) awards (points) offered to customers through their purchases under loyalty programs that are later redeemable for goods or services, also represent separate performance obligations, rather than

 

future costs, and a portion of the sale price of such transactions allocated to these points should be deferred to revenue until the points are redeemed or expire. These reclassifications and adjustments were not material.

Considering the retrospective approach, the adoption of IFRS 15 modified certain amounts of the comparative financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, as follows:

Discontinued Operations and Other Disposal Groups

Discontinued Operations

On June 30, 2017, CEMEX announced that after approval from regulators, one of its subsidiaries in the U.S. closed the divestment of its Pacific Northwest Materials Business consisting of aggregate, asphalt and ready mix concrete operations in Oregon and Washington to Cadman Materials, Inc., part of Lehigh Hanson, Inc. and the U.S. subsidiary of HeidelbergCement Group, for approximately US$150 million. Considering the disposal of the entire Pacific Northwest Materials Business, their operations for the three-month period March 31, 2017, included in CEMEX’s comparative income statements were reclassified net of tax to the single line item “Discontinued Operations.”

On November 28, 2016, CEMEX announced that one of its subsidiaries in the United States signed a definitive agreement to divest its Concrete Reinforced Pipe Manufacturing Business (“Concrete Pipe Business”) in the United States to Quikrete Holdings, Inc. (“Quikrete”) for approximately US$500 million plus an additional US$40 million contingent consideration based on future performance. On January 31, 2017, after the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including approval from regulators, CEMEX announced the closing of the sale to Quikrete according to the agreed upon price conditions. Considering the disposal of the entire Concrete Pipe Business, their operations for the one-month period ended January 31, 2017, included in CEMEX’s comparative income statements were reclassified net of tax to the single line item “Discontinued Operations.” CEMEX determined a net gain on disposal of these assets for approximately US$148 million recognized during January 2017 as part of discontinued operations, which included a proportional allocation of goodwill for approximately US$260 million.

In connection with an agreement signed between CEMEX and Duna-Dráva Cement on August 12, 2015 for the sale of its Croatian operations, including assets in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia (jointly the “Croatian Operations”), CEMEX reported its Croatian Operations net of tax in the single line item of discontinued operations until the first quarter of 2017. On April 5, 2017, CEMEX announced that the European Commission issued a decision that ultimately did not allow Duna-Dráva Cement to purchase the aforementioned operations. Consequently, the transaction was cancelled, and CEMEX decided to maintain its Croatian Operations and continue to operate them. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, the Croatian Operations are presented line-by-line in the comparative income statements.

The following table presents condensed combined information of the income statements of CEMEX discontinued operations mainly: a) the Concrete Pipe Business for the one-month period ended January 31, 2017; and b) the Pacific Northwest Materials Business for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017:

Other disposal groups

Other disposal groups do not represent the disposal of an entire sector or line of business and, due to the remaining ongoing activities and the relative size, are not considered discontinued operations and were consolidated by CEMEX line-by-line in the income statement until the disposal date. The main disposal groups are as follows:

On September 12, 2016, CEMEX announced that one of its subsidiaries in the United States signed a definitive agreement for the sale of its Fairborn, Ohio cement plant and cement terminal in Columbus, Ohio to Eagle Materials Inc. (“Eagle Materials”) for approximately US$400 million. Fairborn plant has an annual production capacity of approximately 730 thousand tons. On February 10, 2017, CEMEX announced that such subsidiary in the United States closed the divestment of these assets. CEMEX’s comparative income statement for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, include the operations of the Fairborn cement plant and the Columbus cement terminal consolidated line-by-line for the period from January 1 until their disposal in February 10, 2017. CEMEX determined a net gain on disposal of these assets for approximately US$188 million recognized during February 2017 as part of Other expenses, net, which included a proportional allocation of goodwill for approximately US$211 million.

The following table presents selected combined income statements information of the net assets sold to Eagle Materials for the period in 2017 until their disposal in February 10:

Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of results

Under IFRS, beginning January 1, 2008, CEMEX translates the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using exchange rates at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement. CEMEX reports its consolidated results in Mexican pesos.

For the reader’s convenience, beginning June 30, 2008, US dollar amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the nominal Mexican peso amounts at the end of each quarter using the average MXN/US$ exchange rate for each quarter, provided below.

Breakdown of regions

The South, Central America and the Caribbean region includes CEMEX’s operations in Argentina, Bahamas, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and Puerto Rico, as well as trading operations in the Caribbean region.

Europe includes operations in Spain, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Latvia, Poland, and the United Kingdom, as well as trading operations in several Nordic countries.

Earnings per ADS

Please refer to page 2 for the number of average ADSs outstanding used for the calculation of earnings per ADS.

According to the IAS 33 Earnings per share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is determined considering the number of days during the accounting period in which the shares have been outstanding, including shares derived from corporate events that have modified the stockholder’s equity structure during the period, such as increases in the number of shares by a public offering and the distribution of shares from stock dividends or recapitalizations of retained earnings and the potential diluted shares (Stock options, Restricted Stock Options and Mandatory Convertible Shares). The shares issued because of share dividends, recapitalizations and potential diluted shares are considered as issued at the beginning of the period.
