Consolidated net sales reached US$4.0 billion in the third quarter of 2024, 3% lower on a like-to-like basis. Our higher prices in local currency terms were more than offset by lower volumes, which were impacted by extraordinary weather conditions in all our regions. Higher sales in EMEA were offset by decreases in the rest of the regions.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, increased by 1.3pp to 67.2% during the third quarter of 2024 from 65.9% in the same period last year, driven by higher fixed costs, coupled with a decrease in Sales. However, we continued to experience energy tailwinds, particularly in fuels to produce cement.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, increased by 0.9pp to 22.3% during the third quarter of 2024 compared with the same period last year, driven by higher labor and selling costs.

Operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 reached US$747 million, decreasing -9% on a like-to-like basis. With prices and the contribution of growth investments largely offsetting costs in the quarter, the decline in Operating EBITDA was generally attributable to volumes. We estimate a weather impact of approximately US$33 million in Operating EBITDA, a little less than half of the like-to-like Operating EBITDA shortfall in the quarter.

Operating EBITDA margin decreased by -1.4pp from 19.7% in the third quarter of 2023 to 18.3% this quarter. The variation was primarily due to Mexico and SCAC, while the US and EMEA remained stable.

Controlling interest net income reached US$406 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus an income of US$126 million in the same quarter of 2023. The higher income was driven primarily by a lower effective tax rate and the gain from the sale of our operations in Guatemala.

Volumes in Mexico slowed as construction activity decelerated after the election in June, coupled with bad weather, where precipitation levels were 50% higher than third quarter of 2023. Operating EBITDA declined 8% year-over-year on a like-to-like basis due to lower volumes, higher electricity and maintenance costs, and a prior year base effect in which Operating EBITDA rose more than 30%. We estimate the impact from bad weather on Operating EBITDA to be ~US$8 million. Operating EBITDA margin decreased 1.2pp year-over-year due primarily to a 30% transitory rise in electricity costs, which we expect to stabilize in 2025 assuming several of our cement plants complete their migration to more competitive power supply sources.

Cement and ready-mix prices rose mid-single digits. We continue to see healthy growth in our ready-mix orderbook for projects related to nearshoring and infrastructure, and over the medium term, we are optimistic about Mexico’s growth prospects, as the new government’s agenda appears supportive of housing and infrastructure.

In the United States, Operating EBITDA declined 4% year-over-year due to lower cement and ready-mix volumes, which were impacted by extreme weather conditions, with three major hurricanes and above average precipitation and flooding. Several of our key markets experienced 50% to 200% higher precipitation than the prior year. We estimate the impact of adverse weather on Operating EBITDA to be US$17 million, which explains all the Operating EBITDA variation. The resiliency of the business to the drop in volumes was impressive, with Operating EBITDA margin remaining stable, driven by higher prices, lower imports, energy costs deceleration and our operational optimization efforts.

Cement and ready-mix volumes declined 6% and 11%, respectively, due to continued difficult weather conditions. Aggregates volumes, typically less impacted by weather conditions, declined low-single digit. Our aggregates operations are now the largest contributor to US profitability, accounting for 36% of year-to-date Operating EBITDA with margins in excess of 30%. Pricing for our three core products rose low-single digits. During the quarter, we formed a joint venture with Couch Aggregates to strengthen and expand our aggregates reserves in the Southeast.

In EMEA, Operating EBITDA was stable year-over-year after 3 consecutive quarterly declines.

We believe we are experiencing an important inflection point in our European business with Operating EBITDA growth on a reported basis, and where for the first time in 9 quarters, we have seen volume growth. The improvement in volumes is largely attributable to better economic activity, lower interest rates, the lifting of the construction ban related to the Paris Olympics and an easier prior year comparison.

Prices for our three core products were stable across our European footprint, while most of our costs continued to decelerate, particularly in energy for cement production.

On Climate Action, Cemex Europe continues to test company record levels of decarbonization with a 5% reduction year-to-date in CO₂ per ton of cement, supported by a clinker factor reduction of 1.7pp.

In MEA, Operating EBITDA increased due to better pricing dynamics in Egypt and improved construction activity in Israel.

In South, Central America and Caribbean, Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA margin declined 27% and 5pp, respectively, driven by lower volumes and higher maintenance. Our operations experienced a challenging quarter in terms of volumes, impacted by two hurricanes, as well as a transportation strike in Colombia. These events impacted Operating EBITDA by an estimated US$7 million.

Despite the current demand environment, prices for our products rose between 3% and 10%.

The formal sector continues driving demand with large infrastructure projects such as the Bogotá Metro, in which Cemex was awarded ~80% of total volumes, and the fourth bridge over the Canal in Panama.

During the quarter, we announced the sale of our Dominican Republic and Guatemala operations, and we expect to close the Dominican Republic transaction by year end, while the Guatemala transaction has already closed in September. As a result, these two businesses have been re-classified as discontinued operations and are excluded from our 2024 operating results and the 2023 results included in this report for comparison purposes.

FCF after maintenance capex for the third quarter was US$114 million, impacted by a US$306 million payment towards the US$500 Spanish tax fine announced in fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusting for this extraordinary tax payment, FCF after maintenance capex would have been slightly lower than the prior year. Cemex is analyzing options with respect to the remaining balance of the Spanish tax fine.

Due to the seasonality of our working capital cycle and the implementation of certain initiatives, we are expecting a significant turnaround of working capital in the fourth quarter.

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, the investment in Couch Aggregates in the US, and dividend payments.

Net debt decreased by ~US$38 million dollars sequentially, driven by the proceeds from the sale of our Guatemala operations, partially offset by the uses of cash below the Free cash flow line explained above.

Our leverage ratio stood at 2.22 times, about a tenth of a turn higher than second quarter driven primarily by lower Operating EBITDA and the payment related to the Spanish tax fine.

Equity-related information

As of December 31, 2023, based on our latest 20-F annual report, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,490,870,243. See Cemex’s reports furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information, if any, regarding repurchases of securities and other developments that may have caused a change in the number of CPO-equivalents outstanding after December 31, 2023. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, 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, 2023, were 20,541,277. Starting 2024, employees receive restricted ADRs instead of restricted CPOs. One ADRs represents 10 CPOs. Restricted ADRs 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, net investment hedge and forecasted transactions. As of September 30, 2024, the derivatives related to net investment hedge represent a notional amount of US$640 million.

2)	Interest-rate swap derivatives include those related to bank loans and interest rate and exchange rate swap related to Certificados Bursátiles

Cemex’s derivative financial instruments portfolio includes swaps and financial options. These derivative instruments are mainly used to hedge the market price risk of certain fuels associated with certain Cemex operations, such as transportation and production. In addition, there are call spreads on Brent oil and derivatives thereof, designed to economically mitigate the exposure related to the cost of fuel implicit in distribution expenses.

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, 2024, in connection with its derivatives portfolio’s fair market value recognition, Cemex recognized a change in mark to market as compared to 2Q24 resulting in a financial asset of US$34 million.

Many factors could cause Cemex’s expectations, expected results, and/or projections expressed in this report not being reached and/or not producing the expected benefits and/or results, as any such benefits or results are subject to uncertainties, costs, performance, and rate of implementation of technologies, some of which are yet not proven. 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. Forward-looking statements should not be considered guarantees of future performance, nor the results or developments are indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Actual results of Cemex’s operations and the development of market conditions in which Cemex operates, or other circumstances or assumptions suggested by such statements may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained herein. Any or all of Cemex’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate and the factors identified above are not exhaustive. Accordingly, undue reliance on forward-looking statements should not be placed, as such forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates on which they are made. These factors may be revised or supplemented and the information contained in this report is subject to change without notice, but Cemex is not under, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this report or revise any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Readers should review future reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores). Market data used in this report not attributed to a specific source are estimates of Cemex and have not been independently verified. Certain financial and statistical information contained in this report is subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, any discrepancies between the totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Unless otherwise specified, all references to records are internal records.

This report includes certain non-IFRS financial measures that differ from financial information presented by Cemex in accordance with IFRS in its financial statements and reports containing financial information. The aforementioned non-IFRS financial measures include “Operating EBITDA (operating earnings before other expenses, net plus depreciation and amortization)” and “Operating EBITDA Margin”. The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBITDA is “Operating earnings before other expenses, net”, as Operating EBITDA adds depreciation and amortization to the IFRS financial measure. Our Operating EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing our Operating EBITDA for the period by our revenues as reported in our financial statements. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare Operating EBITDA Margin. These non-IFRS financial measures are designed to complement and should not be considered superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Disclaimer

Although Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA Margin are not measures of operating performance, an alternative to cash flows or a measure of financial position under IFRS, Operating EBITDA is the financial measure used by Cemex’s management to review operating performance and profitability, for decision-making purposes and to allocate resources. Moreover, our Operating EBITDA is a measure used by Cemex’s creditors to review our ability to internally fund capital expenditures, service or incur debt and comply with financial covenants under our financing agreements. Furthermore, Cemex’s management regularly reviews our Operating EBITDA Margin by reportable segment and on a consolidated basis as a measure of performance and profitability. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Non-IFRS financial measures presented in the reports, presentations, and documents to be disclosed during Cemex’s third quarter 2024 results conference call and audio webcast presentation are being provided for informative purposes only and shall not be construed as investment, financial, or other advice.

Also, this report includes statistical data regarding the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, clinker, aggregates, and Urbanization Solutions. Cemex generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that Cemex believes to be reliable sources. Cemex has not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this report. Cemex acts in strict compliance of antitrust laws and as such, among other measures, maintains an independent pricing policy that has been independently developed and its core element is to price Cemex’s products and services based upon their quality and characteristics as well as their value to Cemex’s customers. Cemex does not accept any communications or agreements of any type with competitors regarding the determination of Cemex’s prices for Cemex’s products and services. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to Cemex’s prices for Cemex’s products.

Additionally, the information contained in this report contains references to “green,” “social,” “sustainable,” or equivalent-labelled activities, products, assets, or projects. There is currently no single globally recognized or accepted, consistent, and comparable set of definitions or standards (legal, regulatory, or otherwise) of, nor widespread cross-market consensus i) as to what constitutes, a ‘green’, ‘social,’ or ‘sustainable’ or having equivalent-labelled activity, product, or asset; or ii) as to what precise attributes are required for a particular activity, product, or asset to be defined as ‘green’, ‘social,’ or ‘sustainable’ or such other equivalent label; or iii) as to climate and sustainable funding and financing activities and their classification and reporting. Therefore, there is little certainty, and no assurance or representation is given that such activities and/or reporting of those activities will meet any present or future expectations or requirements for describing or classifying funding and financing activities as ‘green,’ ‘social,’ or ‘sustainable’ or attributing similar labels. We expect policies, regulatory requirements, standards, and definitions to be developed and continuously evolve over time.
