On June 14, 2022, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:CX) (“CEMEX”) informed the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) that Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) has upgraded CEMEX’s Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (“IDRs”) to ‘BB+’ from ‘BB’, its notes to ‘BB+’ from ‘BB’, and its subordinated notes with no fixed maturity to ‘BB-’ from ‘B+’. Fitch has also affirmed CEMEX’s National Short-Term Rating at ‘F1’/‘F1(mex)’ and its Rating Outlook as ‘Stable’. Additionally, Fitch upgraded CEMEX’s National Long-Term rating to ‘AA-(mex)’ from ‘A+(mex)’.

According to Fitch, the upgrade of the Foreign and Local Currency IDRs, its notes, and its subordinated notes with no fixed maturity reflects CEMEX’s ‘ongoing stronger operating performance’, which, in addition to asset sales, has supported effective debt reduction since late 2019.
