    Operating EBITDA increased by 22% on a like-to-like basis during the quarter, leading to an EBITDA margin expansion of 3.2 percentage points, to reach 21.8%. Both EBITDA and EBITDA margin were the highest in a quarter since 2008.

 

    Free cash flow after maintenance capex for the quarter and the first nine months of the year was US$548 million and US$1.05 billion, respectively. Year to date free cash flow improved US$757 million compared with the same period last year.

 

    Total debt plus perpetual notes was reduced by US$1.4 billion since the beginning of the year.

MONTERREY, MEXICO, OCTOBER 27, 2016– CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX), announced today that consolidated net sales reached US$3.6 billion during the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 4% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and adjusting for currency fluctuations, versus the comparable period in 2015. Operating EBITDA increased 22% on a like-to-like basis during the quarter, to US$780 million.

CEMEX’s Consolidated Third-Quarter 2016 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

    The increase in consolidated net sales on a like-to-like basis was due to higher prices of our products, in local currency terms, in most of our operations, as well as higher volumes in Mexico and our European and Asia, Middle East & Africa regions.

 

    Operating earnings before other expenses, net, in the third quarter increased by 25%, to US$551 million.

 

    Controlling interest net income improved to US$286 million from a loss of US$44 million in the same period last year.

 

    Operating EBITDA increased during the quarter by 15% and, on a like-to-like basis, by 22% to US$780 million.

 

    Operating EBITDA margin grew by 3.2 percentage points on a year-over-year basis reaching 21.8%.

 

    Free cash flow after maintenance capex for the quarter was US$548 million, US$112 million higher than in the same period last year.


Fernando A. Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer, said: “During the third quarter, we continued to deliver strong underlying operational and financial results by remaining focused on the variables we can control.

Our year-to-date operating EBITDA grew 17 percent on a like-to-like basis, with a 5 percent growth in sales. This was the highest year-to-date EBITDA growth in a decade. Our free cash flow after maintenance capex reached US$1.05 billion year to date, an increase of US$757 million from last year’s level, reflecting our initiatives to reduce financial expenses and improve working capital, and translating into a record-low 7 working-capital days. Conversion of operating EBITDA into free cash flow after maintenance capex reached 49% during the first nine months of the year.

In addition, total debt is close to US$1.4 billion dollars lower than that at the end of 2015. Since 2014, we have reduced total debt by US$3.5 billion, or about 20% of the then outstanding debt. We continue with our initiatives to improve our debt maturity profile and strengthen our capital structure.”

During the third quarter of 2016, controlling interest net income was US$286 million, an improvement over a loss of US$44 million in the same period last year.

Total debt plus perpetual notes decreased by US$882 million during the quarter.

During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes increased 3% and ready-mix volumes decreased 7% versus the comparable period of 2015. Domestic gray cement prices during the third quarter increased 6% sequentially and 17% on a year-over-year basis. Cement volume growth during the third quarter reflects positive performance from the main demand sectors, especially industrial-and-commercial and formal housing. The industrial-and-commercial sector was supported by continued solid commercial activity, while the formal residential sector benefited from strong investment from the banking sector as well as an improvement in investment from INFONAVIT. The main indicators for the self-construction sector, including remittances, job creation, and consumption credit, remained solid during the quarter.

During the first nine months of the year and on a year-over-year basis, domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates increased 4%, 2% and 3%, respectively. Volumes during the third quarter were affected by poor weather in most of our footprint and a high base of comparison in 2015. Also, some delays in infrastructure spending and the pull forward of demand to the first half of 2016 due to a milder winter, affected volumes. In the residential sector, housing starts during the quarter decreased 2%. However, the most cement intensive single family segment starts increased 2% in the same period supported by low interest rates and inventories, and strong job creation and household formation. Construction spending in the industrial-and-commercial sector continued to slow, reflecting a headwind from energy, agriculture and manufacturing spending. We estimate national cement consumption for this sector was flat year over year during the quarter, with growth in the lodging, office and commercial segments offsetting a decline in manufacturing. On the infrastructure sector, after a strong start in the first half of 2016, highways-and-bridges spending slowed recently registering a flat performance year-to-date August mostly due to delays in certain infrastructure projects and lower state spending. 2016 Third Quarter Results Page 3

Operating results In Spain, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased 13% and our ready-mix volumes increased 5% during the quarter and on a year-over-year basis. During the first nine months of the year, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased 1% and our ready-mix volumes increased 3%, compared with the same period of 2015. Our cement prices increased 2% sequentially during the quarter. Political uncertainty weighed on consumer sentiment and construction activity was particularly affected during the quarter. The residential sector, which was the main driver of cement demand during the quarter, benefited from favorable credit conditions and income perspectives, job creation, and pent-up housing demand. In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 5% and remained flat during the third quarter and first nine months of the year, respectively, compared with the same periods of last year. Volume growth reflects an improvement in competitive dynamics during the quarter. The residential sector was the main driver of cement consumption despite capacity constraints in the local construction industry and public authorities restrictions. This sector continued to benefit from low unemployment and mortgage rates, rising purchasing power and growing immigration. In Poland, domestic gray cement volumes for our operations decreased 4% and remained flat during the third quarter and first nine months of the year, respectively, versus the comparable periods in 2015. Our cement prices remained stable sequentially. Cement volume decline during the quarter reflects further delays in infrastructure sector projects and a slight loss in our market position. The residential sector was the main driver of demand during the quarter. In our operations in France, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 4% during the third quarter and on a year over year basis. During the first nine months of 2016 versus the comparable period of last year, ready mix and aggregates volumes increased 5% and 6%, respectively. The residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main drivers of demand during the quarter. The residential sector was supported by low interest rates and government s initiatives including a buy-to-let program and zero-rates loans for first time buyers. In the industrial-and-commercial sector, the double-digit growth in permits during the first eight months of this year sustained the recent double-digit increase in building starts.

In the Philippines, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 3% and 4% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, versus the comparable periods of last year. During the third quarter there was a moderation in cement consumption, especially in infrastructure, due to the government transition post the election. In addition, adverse weather conditions affected quarterly volumes. The industrial-and-commercial sector continued to drive cement demand during the quarter, supported by the business-process-outsourcing segment. The residential sector remained stable during the quarter. In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 7% and 10% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, versus the comparable periods of last year. Government projects related to the Suez Canal tunnels and port platforms in the city of Port Said, as well as low-income housing, continued to drive cement demand during the quarter. 2016 Third Quarter Results Page 5

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. The estimated aggregate fair market value represents the approximate settlement result as of the valuation date, based upon quoted market prices and estimated settlement costs, which fluctuate over time. Fair market values and notional amounts do not represent amounts of cash currently exchanged between the parties; cash amounts will be determined upon termination of the contracts considering the notional amounts and quoted market prices as well as other derivative items as of the settlement date. Fair market values should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair market values of the underlying hedge transactions and the overall reduction in CEMEX s exposure to the risks being hedged. Note: 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. As of September 30, 2016, in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and liabilities resulting in a net asset of US$69 million, including a liability of US$37 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.
