CEMEX LATAM HOLDINGS REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

 

    Historic volume records for the first nine months of the year in Nicaragua for cement, in Guatemala for ready mix, and in Panama for aggregates

 

    In Colombia, our quarterly cement volumes and prices continued to increase on a sequential basis

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, OCTOBER 22, 2015 – CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (“CLH”) (BVC: CLH), announced today that its consolidated net sales reached US$354 million during the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of 23% versus the third quarter of 2014. This decline is mainly explained by currency fluctuations and lower sales in our operations in Colombia and Panama. Adjusting for currency fluctuations, consolidated net sales during the third quarter remained flat, on a year-over-year basis.

Operating EBITDA, also adjusted for currency fluctuations, declined by 10% during the third quarter of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, consolidated domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 5%, 8% and 7% respectively, compared to the same period last year.

Carlos Jacks, CEO of CLH, said, “We are pleased with the performance of our operations in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Additionally, our cement volumes in Colombia continued with a positive trend in the third quarter, increasing by 7% and 18% compared to the second and first quarter of this year respectively.”

CLH’s Financial and Operational Highlights

 

    In Colombia, during the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement and aggregates volumes declined by 9% and 3% respectively, while our ready-mix volumes remained flat, compared with the same period a year ago. Compared with the second quarter of 2015, third quarter domestic gray cement volumes increased 7%, while ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 4% and 6%, respectively.

 

    In Panama, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes in the third quarter decreased by 23%, 20% and 1%, respectively, compared with the third quarter a year ago.

 

    In Costa Rica, our volumes for domestic gray cement and ready-mix grew at double-digit rates during both the third quarter and the first nine months of the year, compared with the same periods last year. Aggregates volumes declined 8% during the quarter, but increased 20% during the first nine months of the year.

 

    Free cash flow after maintenance capital expenditures reached US$51 million during the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of 53% compared with the third quarter of 2015.


Carlos Jacks added, “We have seen progress towards improving our profitability, which has been affected by the severe depreciation of the Colombian peso. Despite of the challenging economic environment, we remain confident on the fundamentals of our markets and the opportunities they offer to our company.”

During the third quarter, controlling interest net income reached US$35 million.

Net debt decreased by US$18 million, to US$1,060 million as of the end of the third quarter 2015.

During the first nine months of 2015 consolidated net sales decreased by 17%, compared to the same period in 2014.

In Colombia, during the third quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 6%, 8% and

volumes declined by 9% and 3%, respectively, while our ready-mix volumes remained stable, compared to the same period

in 2014.

On a sequential basis, cement volumes improved by 18% and 7% compared with the first and second quarters of 2015,

respectively. The year-over-year decline in third quarter cement volume reflects a very high base of comparison—as third

quarter 2014 holds the all-time quarterly volume record—as well as our pricing increases.

In Panama during the third quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 23%, 20% and 1% respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, our domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes decreased by 5% and 8% respectively, while our aggregates volumes increased by 6%, compared with the same period in 2014.

During the quarter, the negative performance in our volumes is mainly explained by lower sales to the Panama Canal expansion project, as well as, the completion of some large infrastructure projects like “Corredor Norte” and “Parque Eólico”. Cement sales to the Panama Canal expansion project declined by 84% during the quarter on a year-over-year basis.

The positive performance of the industrial and commercial sector was not enough to offset the slowdown in the housing and infrastructure sectors during the quarter.

of the year our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 12%, 14% and 20%, respectively,

compared to the same period of last year.

During the third quarter infrastructure remained as the main driver for cement demand. Our cement volumes have been

positively affected by the ongoing construction of roads, as well as hydroelectric projects like “Chucás”.

The positive performance in our cement volumes in Nicaragua, as well as our ready-mix volumes in Guatemala were offset

by weak demand conditions in the other markets. Housing and infrastructure in Nicaragua, along with industrial-and-

commercial activity in Guatemala, remained the main drivers of demand for our products.

The exchange rates used to convert: (i) the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $3,121.94 and $2,028.48 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated results for the third quarter of 2015 and for the third quarter of 2014 were $3,029.69 and $1,939.84 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively.

Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.”

Cement volumes decline is mainly explained by lower volumes to the Canal expansion project, as well as, the completion of some large infrastructure projects
