CEMEX REPORTS 13% TOP LINE GROWTH

DRIVEN BY STRONG PRICING

 

   

US and EMEA regions with double-digit and high single-digit EBITDA growth, respectively.

 

   

Year-to-date pricing more than covering input-cost inflation in dollar terms, but not yet sufficient for margin recovery.

 

   

Sequential reduction of approximately US$540 million in total debt, with leverage ratio decreasing to 2.82x.

 

   

Executing on portfolio rebalancing strategy, with close to US$600 million of divestments year-to-date.

 

   

CO2 emissions year-to-date reduced by ~23 kgs/ton, ~4% versus 2021.

 

   

Submitted a revised Climate Action roadmap to SBTi for alignment under the 1.5 degrees scenario, the most ambitious in the industry.

MONTERREY, MEXICO. OCTOBER 27, 2022 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today continued solid top line growth, with third quarter Net Sales growing 13%. Pricing was the main driver with cement, ready-mix and aggregates, increasing double digits. EBITDA and EBITDA margin continued to be impacted by persistent inflationary headwinds that outpaced the company’s pricing efforts.

Third Quarter 2022 CEMEX’s Consolidated Financial and Operational Highlights

 

   

Net Sales increased 13% to US$3,956 million.

 

   

Operating EBITDA decreased 6% to US$649 million.

 

   

Operating EBITDA margin declined by 3.2 pp year-over-year.

 

   

Free Cash Flow after Maintenance Capital Expenditures was US$182 million.

 

   

Net Income of US$494 million.

 

   

Return on capital employed, excluding goodwill, for previous 12 months of 12.7%.

“Our pricing achievements this year have allowed us to more than offset inflationary costs in dollar terms, but stubbornly high inflation and supply chain headwinds have delayed our ability to regain margins. We are fully committed to margin recovery and will continue our efforts in fourth quarter, as well as into 2023,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of CEMEX. “Importantly, we are making significant progress in decarbonizing our operations, reducing our carbon emissions by more than 8% since we introduced our climate action program, Future in Action. This achievement was driven by record levels of alternative fuel usage and clinker factor substitution. Our success to date gives us confidence that a more accelerated pathway for 2030 is possible, and we have submitted our new, more aggressive goals to the Science Based Targets initiative to be validated for alignment with their 1.5 degrees scenario.”

Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2022 reached US$4.0 billion, an increase of 13% on a like-to-like basis, compared to the third quarter of 2021. Higher prices in local currency terms in all our regions were the main driver of our top line growth.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.8pp to 69.5% during the third quarter of 2022, from 67.7% in the same period last year. The increase was mainly driven by higher energy costs, as well as higher freight and imports.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.2pp to 21.3% during the third quarter of 2022 compared with the same period last year, mainly due to higher logistic and distribution expenses.

Operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2022 reached US$649 million, decreasing 6% on a like-to-like basis. During the quarter, a higher contribution in like-to-like terms, from the US and EMEA, was more than offset by declines in the rest of our regions.

Operating EBITDA margin decreased by 3.2pp from 19.6% in the third quarter of 2021 to 16.4% this quarter.

Controlling interest net income (loss) resulted in an income of US$494 million in the third quarter of 2022 versus a loss of US$376 million in the same quarter of 2021. The positive variation was mainly due to an impairment charge of ~US$500 million in 2021, lower financial expenses, and a positive variation in discontinued operations.

In Mexico, net sales increased 9% during the third quarter of 2022 driven by our pricing strategy and a pickup in the formal sector. In local currency terms, cement prices grew 17%, ready-mix 16%, and aggregates 21%.

Cement volumes during the quarter declined 7%, mainly due to the normalization of bagged cement demand from the pandemic peak, as well as inflationary pressures impacting retail consumption, and temporary market share loss related to our pricing strategy. Ready mix and aggregates volumes increased 9% and 1%, respectively.

Growth in the formal sector continues to be explained by the Industrial and Commercial sector, with our volumes driven mainly by significant nearshoring activity in the border states, distribution and logistics, and tourism.

We continue to implement our pricing strategy, and, with our objective of recovering margins in mind, we announced a 7.5% increase in bagged cement effective October 10th, 2022.

In the United States, sales and EBITDA grew by double digits despite the impact from Hurricane Ian that hit Florida in the quarter. We estimate the storm had an EBITDA impact of approximately US$11 million in the quarter. We secured a 2.4 percentage points sequential improvement in EBITDA margin, primarily reflecting recovery from the supply chain disruptions and maintenance costs of the second quarter.

Prices for cement, ready-mix and aggregates grew between 16% and 19% year-over-year. Cement and aggregate volumes rose low single-digits while ready-mix was flat. Supply/demand dynamics remain quite tight in our markets with many of our customers still on allocation.

EMEA continued to show remarkable resiliency despite the substantial macro challenges, with sales growing double-digit while EBITDA rose high single-digit. Top line growth was driven by double-digit price increases across all products.

Europe showed strong cement pricing traction with a 5% sequential increase and growing 30% year-over-year. Quarterly cement volumes for the region declined 3%, reflecting a drop in the Philippines and some weakness in private sector demand in Europe, attributable to the economic slowdown.

In the quarter, our European operations continued to lead the way in carbon action, achieving for the first time a more than 40% reduction in carbon emissions. This region is well on its way to complying with the EU emissions reduction target of at least 55% by 2030.

In the Philippines, cement volumes declined double-digit as the country transitions to a new government and macro challenges impact demand. Sequential prices increased 4%, the sixth consecutive quarter of improvement.

Our operations in Egypt and Israel continued to show strong top line and EBITDA growth.

In our South, Central America and the Caribbean region, our sales grew 2% driven by a 15% cement price increase in local currency terms.

Formal sector continues to recover as evidenced by ready-mix and aggregates performance. Cement volumes declined as a result of bagged cement rebalancing, together with difficult weather conditions in the region.

As a result of higher energy costs, together with lower cement volumes, and geographic and product mix, EBITDA and EBITDA margin declined 11% and 2.8 percentage points, respectively, during the quarter.

In Colombia, while cement prices increased 12% in local currency terms, cement volumes declined 5% as a result of our pricing strategy.

In the Dominican Republic, our largest market currently in SCAC, cement volumes declined 16% mainly due to the stoppage of a cement kiln during the quarter as well as unfavorable impact of Hurricane Fiona. Prices increased 23% in local currency terms. Industry cement volumes remained flat during the quarter, supported by tourism, formal housing, nearshoring activity, and large infrastructure projects.

FCF after maintenance capex was lower than last year due to higher investment in working capital, lower EBITDA, and higher maintenance capex. The higher investment in working capital is primarily driven by healthy top line growth as well as the inflationary effect in our inventories, in addition to buildup necessary to address continued supply chain tightness. We expect to partially reverse the investment in working capital during the fourth quarter.

The exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures arising from regular operations, net investment hedge and forecasted transactions. As of September 30, 2022, the derivatives related to net investment hedge represents a notional amount of US$1,522 million.

(2)

Interest-rate swap derivatives are related to the Company’s bank loans. During 3Q22, in connection with debt expected to be issued during 2023, the Company settled interest rate swap forward for a notional amount of US$300 million as compared to 2Q22.

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as financial 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 such cases, 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. Moreover, in transactions related to net investment hedges, changes in fair market 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 September 30, 2022, in connection with its derivatives portfolio’s fair market value recognition, CEMEX recognized a positive change in mark to market as compared to 2Q22 which increased its net financial assets to US$118 million.

Other significant transactions

On October 25, 2022, CEMEX formalized their previously announced partnership with Advent International in CEMEX’s digital accelerator Neoris. The partnership was formed to accelerate the growth and development of Neoris, a global tech consulting and digital transformation firm. The partnership with Advent will allow Neoris to further strengthen its capabilities and customer reach in the space by deepening its focus on cutting-edge, high-growth verticals such as artificial intelligence, data science, cloud solutions, and automation, among others. These verticals are aligned with CEMEX’s priorities for its continued digital transformation. Neoris is to continue focusing on strategic industries such as financial services, telecommunications, media, manufacturing, retail, and consumer packaged goods, among others. As part of the partnership, Advent acquired from CEMEX a 65% stake in Neoris for a consideration of approximately US$119 million. CEMEX will retain an approximate 35% stake and remain as a key strategic partner and customer of Neoris, supporting CEMEX’s efforts to provide a superior customer experience enabled by digital technologies. The transaction values Neoris at an enterprise valuation of approximately US$200 million.

As previously reported, in connection with the CO2 emission allowances in the European Union (the “Allowances”) under the EU Emissions Trading System (“EU ETS”), during the second half of March 2021, in different transactions, CEMEX sold 12.3 million Allowances for approximately €509 million (approximately US$600 million). This sale is included in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, as part of the line item “Other expenses, net”.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets in 3Q21

During the third quarter of 2021, rising input cost inflation and higher freight and supply chain disruptions led to a confirmation of impairment indicators in Spain, the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and other businesses. As a result, we recognized a non-cash aggregate goodwill impairment charge of approximately US$440 million comprised of, approximately, US$317 million related to our business in Spain, US$96 million related to our business in UAE, and US$27 million related to our IT business segment due to a reorganization. The impairment of goodwill in Spain and the UAE in 2021 resulted from an excess of the net book value of such businesses versus the discounted cash flow projections as of September 30, 2021, related to these reporting segments.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2021 we recognized non-cash impairment charges of intangible assets due to a technological revamp of certain internal use software of US$49 million. These non-cash charges recognized during the third quarter of 2021 did not impact our liquidity, Operating EBITDA and cash taxes payable, nevertheless our total assets, net income (loss) and equity were affected in each quarter.

Earnings per ADS

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.
