CHP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

MANILA, PHILIPPINES. OCTOBER 29, 2020 – CEMEX HOLDINGS PHILIPPINES, INC. (“CHP”) (PSE: CHP), announced today that its consolidated net sales decreased by 17%, reaching PHP 15.1 billion during the first nine months of 2020, versus the comparable period in 2019. Sales decreased by 6% year-over-year in the third quarter, reaching about PHP 5.5 billion.

CHP’s domestic cement volumes decreased by 12% during the first nine months of 2020 versus the same period in 2019. For the quarter, its domestic cement volumes declined by 3% year-over-year. CHP’s domestic cement prices during the first nine months of the 2020 were 5% lower year-over-year, reflecting declines which began in the second half of 2019.

CHP’s Operating EBITDA during the first nine months of 2020 was around PHP 3.3 billion, a decrease of 5% versus the same period in 2019, and its Operating EBITDA margin was at 22% for the first nine months of 2020. Lower volumes and prices were partially offset by lower costs and cost containment measures, including maintenance cost deferrals.

Net income for CHP was at PHP 758.1 million for the first nine months of 2020, versus PHP 874.7 million in the same period last year, due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operating earnings.

Ignacio Mijares, President and CEO of CHP, said: “As the country takes steps towards reopening the economy, the impact of the pandemic remains a concern. We must continue to adapt to the challenges and limitations brought about by COVID-19. Full execution of the government’s infrastructure plan can help accelerate economic recovery. Nevertheless, we continue to be optimistic on the long-term growth prospects of the Philippines.”

As of September 30, 2020, CHP’s total debt was at PHP 13,510 million, a decrease of around PHP 6.6 billion from December 31, 2019. The lower debt level is a result of the repayment of respective debts owed by Solid Cement Corporation and APO Cement Corporation to CEMEX ASIA, B.V. using a portion of the proceeds raised from CHP’s Stock Rights Offering during the first quarter of 2020.

CHP, a listed company at the Philippine Stock Exchange, is one of the leading cement producers in the Philippines, based on annual installed capacity. CHP produces and markets cement and cement products, such as ready-mix concrete and clinker, in the Philippines through direct sales using its extensive marine and land distribution network. Moreover, CHP’s cement manufacturing subsidiaries have been operating in the Philippines with well-established brands, such as “APO,” “Island,” and “Rizal,” all having a multi-decade history in the country.

Net sales decreased, year-over-year, by 6% during the third quarter and by 17% during the first nine months of the year, due to lower volumes and prices.

Cost of sales was at 58% of sales during the first nine months of 2020 compared with 59% in the same period of 2019. The decrease was driven by lower costs and efforts to contain expenses, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total fuel cost was 5% lower year-over-year, while total power cost declined by 18% year-over-year during the first nine months of 2020 due to the temporary stoppage of Solid Cement Plant in the second quarter of the year due to lockdowns, production optimization initiatives, and lower energy prices.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, was at 32% during the first nine months of 2020, compared with 30% in the same period of 2019.

Distribution expenses, as a percentage of sales, was at 18% during the first nine months of 2020, compared with 17% in the same period of 2019. Total distribution expenses were lower by 14% year-over-year for the first three quarters of 2020.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was at 14% during the first nine months of 2020, compared with 13% in the same period of 2019. Total selling and administrative expenses were lower by 8% year-over-year for the first three quarters of 2020.

Operating EBITDA for the first nine months of 2020 was around PHP 3.3 billion, a decrease of 5% year-over-year. Third quarter operating EBITDA benefitted from maintenance deferrals, lower costs, and controlling of expenses.

Operating EBITDA margin was at 22% for the first nine months of the 2020, as lower volumes and prices were partially offset by lower costs and cost containment measures, including maintenance cost deferrals.

Controlling interest net income was at PHP 758 million for the first nine months of 2020, 13% lower on a year-over-year basis, due to COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions, and its negative impact on demand.

Income tax was a benefit for the first nine months of the year due to an increase in the company’s deferred tax assets related to Net Operating Loss Carry-Over (NOLCO) and Minimum Corporate Income Tax (MCIT) credits.

Total debt at the end of September 2020 was at PHP 13,510 million, of which PHP 11,322 million pertained to debt owed to BDO Unibank, Inc.

Volume			(12	%)			(3	%)			38	%

Our domestic cement volumes decreased by 3% year-over-year during the third quarter. We saw a reimposition of lockdown measures during the quarter, in areas including Metro Manila and nearby provinces, which returned to two-weeks of stricter quarantine classifications.

On a sequential basis, our domestic cement volumes increased by 38% for the quarter, in line with government efforts to reopen the economy.

During the first nine months of 2020, our domestic cement volumes decreased by 12% year-over-year due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our domestic cement prices during the first nine months of the 2020 were 5% lower year-over-year, reflecting declines that began in the second half of 2019.

The sequential change in our prices reflects product and geographic mix effects.

Newly issued PFRS effective in 2019

PFRS 16, Leases (“PFRS 16”)

In summary, beginning January 1, 2019, PFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize, for all leases, allowing exemptions in case of leases with a term of less than 12 months or when the underlying asset is of low value, assets for the right-of-use of the underlying asset against a corresponding financial liability, representing the net present value of estimated lease payments under the contract, with a single income statement model in which a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability. After concluding the inventory and measurement of its leases, CEMEX Holdings Philippines, Inc. and Subsidiaries adopted PFRS 16 using the full retrospective approach by means of which it determined an opening cumulative effect in its statement of financial position as of January 1, 2017 as follows:

 

(Thousands of Philippine Pesos)		As of January 1, 2017
Assets for the right-of-use			2,187,292
Deferred income tax assets			33,509
Deferred income tax liability			(3,053	)
Lease liabilities			2,309,165
Retained earnings 1			(85,311	)

 

1

The initial effect in retained earnings refers to a temporary difference between the straight-line amortization expense of the right-of-use asset and the amortization of the financial liability under the effective interest rate method since origination of the contracts. This difference will reverse over the remaining term of the contracts.

As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, assets for the right-of-use amounted to PHP 1,966 million and PHP 2,121 million, respectively. In addition, financial liabilities related to lease contracts amounted to PHP 2,188 million as of September 30, 2020 and PHP 2,365 million as of September 30, 2019. These amounts of financial liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 are included in the “Debt Information” section appearing on page 4.

Private Sector Activity in the residential sector was lower during the third quarter due to persisting COVID-19 risks and effects on the country. Some developers have revised expansion plans, likely to safeguard their balance sheets amid challenging market conditions. Improved remittances, together with supportive monetary policy and a controlled inflation environment, could help support the weak demand in the sector. The non-residential sector remained challenged during the quarter amidst uncertainties, especially in the retail, tourism, and hospitality segments. Rising interest in the logistics segment due to e-commerce, third-party logistics operations, and fast-moving consumer goods could help temper the weak demand in the sector. The Senate continues to review the proposed Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprise (CREATE) Act which would adjust the corporate income tax rate from 30% to 25%. Passing this into law is expected to further business confidence, and augment recovery of activity in the construction sector.

Public Sector Infrastructure disbursements during the first two months (July – August) of the third quarter declined by 28.2% YoY to Php 96.6 billion from Php 134.5 billion in the same period last year. The decline is mainly attributed to muted construction activity amid the pandemic, and as Mega Manila was returned to a two-week Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) in August. The government budget department expects a reduced level of spending for the year as some projects are discontinued pursuant to the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act. The government continues to prioritize infrastructure as major projects resume and as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) received one of the highest allocations in the proposed 2021 budget.
