CEMEX’S COST CONTAINMENT EFFORTS

TRANSLATE INTO HIGHER MARGINS

MONTERREY, MEXICO, JULY 27, 2020 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX), announced today that in a quarter marked by significant disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, Sales declined 10%* year over year while EBITDA for the quarter fell by 6%*. These declines were largely attributable to lockdown measures in much of the company’s footprint. EBITDA margin, however, was higher by 0.7 percentage points due to the proactive initiatives under “Operation Resilience” where the company undertook significant cost containment efforts across its businesses and geographies.

CEMEX’s Consolidated Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

   

The decline in quarterly consolidated Net Sales was due to lower volumes for our three core products in almost all regions. The US was the one exception with cement volumes growing 6%. Impact of volumes was highly correlated to government COVID-19 restrictions.

 

   

Operating Earnings before Other Expenses, net, decreased 17% to US$279 million on a like-to-like basis.

 

   

Controlling Interest Net Income (loss) was a loss of US$44 million, compared with a Net Income of US$155 million in the same quarter of 2019.

 

   

Operating EBITDA on a like-to-like basis decreased 6% during the quarter to US$554 million, as compared to the same period in 2019.

 

   

Operating EBITDA margin increased by 0.7pp, from 18.3% in the second quarter of 2019 to 19.0% this quarter.

 

   

Free Cash Flow after Maintenance Capital Expenditures for the quarter was US$140 million.

 

   

Net debt plus perpetual notes marginally increased sequentially by US$51 million during the quarter.

“Despite the unprecedented conditions in which we are operating due to the pandemic, I am pleased with our second quarter performance and our quick reaction to implement cost containment measures across all geographies. In the quarter, we saw a rapid V-shaped volume recovery in our core products from trough levels in April, reaching slightly below pre COVID-19 volumes in June. Importantly, our health initiatives have helped protect our employees, customers, suppliers and communities, and allowed us and our customers to continue operating in most markets. Our digitalization efforts have also paid off as usage continues to expand on our digital platforms and our sales force has leveraged new tools to connect with our customers virtually. We expect that COVID-19 will continue to challenge our operations in new ways over the next few quarters. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our employees and customers, improve our customer experience, and protect the future of our company,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of CEMEX.

For the period of January-June 2020, the effect of the potential dilutive shares generates anti-dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted gain per share.

 

Consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2020 reached US$2.9 billion, representing a decrease of 14%, or 10% on a like-to-like basis for ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign exchange fluctuations, compared with the second quarter of 2019. Lower volumes in all our regions except U.S. were partially offset by higher consolidated prices of our products.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.6pp during the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period last year, from 66.4% to 68.0%. The increase was mainly driven by higher cost of purchased cement as well as higher transportation costs in ready-mix, partially offset by lower fuel costs.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.4pp during the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019, from 22.8% to 22.4%, mainly in distribution and corporate expenses.

Operating EBITDA decreased 11% to US$554 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 6% on a like-to-like basis for ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations. Lower contributions from Mexico, our South, Central America and the Caribbean region and our Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia regions, were partially offset by higher contributions in the U.S.

Operating EBITDA margin increased by 0.7pp, from 18.3% in the second quarter of 2019 to 19.0% this quarter.

Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$70 million, which includes severance payments, COVID-19 related expenses and impairment of assets.

Foreign exchange results for the quarter was a gain of US$6 million, mainly due to the fluctuation of the Colombian peso and the Euro versus the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar.

Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$44 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with an income of US$155 million in the same quarter of 2019. The loss primarily reflects lower operating earnings, higher financial expenses, and a negative variation in discontinued operations, partially offset by positive variations in results from financial instruments and in foreign exchange fluctuations as well as lower income tax.

Net debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$51 million during the quarter mainly due to an unfavorable foreign-exchange effect.

In Mexico, our cement volumes declined by 7%, while ready mix and aggregates dropped by 44% and 35%, respectively, during the quarter. Bagged cement was highly resilient during the quarter, growing by 10% on a year-over-year basis. Private sector construction was the most impacted by COVID-19 lockdown measures. Formal construction activity should gradually improve, albeit at a slow pace, as the economy reopens.

Sequential prices were stable in our three core products, despite declining volumes.

The United States continued to enjoy strong demand momentum in the second quarter driven by the infrastructure and residential sectors. Cement volumes increased 6% while ready-mix and aggregates decreased by 5% and 3%, respectively, due to geographic mix and bad weather in our US ready-mix footprint.

Pricing for cement, ready-mix and aggregates in the quarter was stable sequentially.

EBITDA margin expanded by 2.4 percentage points during the quarter due to higher ready-mix prices, cost reduction efforts and lower fuel costs.

In the Europe region, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased 2% while both ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 18% during the second quarter. Solid growth in our Central European markets driven primarily by the infrastructure sector, partially offset declines in the UK, Spain and France due to much stricter lockdown measures.

Cement and aggregates prices in local currency terms were up sequentially in almost all countries in the Europe region.

In the Philippines, domestic gray cement volumes declined 31% during the quarter due to the stringent lockdown measures implemented by the government and by the closure of Solid plant in Luzon for two months. In June, as our Solid Cement Plant reopened, we saw a marked recovery in volumes.

Our ready-mix and aggregates volumes in Israel increased by 10% and by 8%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2020. Volume growth was driven by continued construction activity in all sectors.

In Egypt, cement volumes decreased by 13% during the second quarter. Construction activity in Egypt slowed due to suspension of private residential construction permits and fewer working days.

In our South, Central America and the Caribbean region, our domestic gray cement volumes declined 29% during the quarter impacted by the government measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including industry shutdowns in Colombia, Panama and Trinidad for significant portions of the quarter. Quarterly cement prices on a sequential basis were higher in practically all markets, in local-currency terms.

In Colombia, our quarterly cement volumes declined by 40%, with a decrease of approximately 75% in April on a year-over year-basis; upon reopening of the industry, our volumes recovered significantly in June recording a decrease in the high single digits versus the same month of last year. During June, we observed increased activity particularly in 4G projects and in the self-construction sector. Our quarterly cement prices improved by 9% year-over-year and by 1% sequentially, in local-currency terms.

Due to our proactive working capital management and lower maintenance capex, we generated US$140 million of free cash flow after maintenance capex and US$86 million of free cash flow during the second quarter.

To further strengthen our liquidity position, during the second quarter, we issued US$1.0 billion of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and drew down US$$446 million from our revolving credit facility, other credit lines and loans. Our cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the second quarter was $2.8 billion.

Net debt plus perpetual notes during the quarter, reflects an unfavorable foreign-exchange conversion effect of US$55 million.

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 June 30, 2020, 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$16 million.

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.
