Cemex announces record annual EBITDA

and proposal to initiate a dividend program

Monterrey, Mexico. February 8, 2024 – Cemex reported today exceptional 2023 results, with an 8% growth in Sales, 20% increase in EBITDA, and a more than doubling of Free Cash Flow after maintenance capex to US$1.2 billion. This performance, coupled with the Board’s confidence in the medium-term outlook and strong free cash flow generation over the last few years, allows Cemex to initiate a formal shareholder return program, subject to approval at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Cemex reported an EBITDA margin of 19.2%, an expansion of 2.0pp, achieving its stated goal of recovering 2021 margin. Record EBITDA of approximately US$3.35 billion, and a turnaround in working capital investment, significantly contributed to a 6-year high in Free Cash Flow after maintenance capex. Results were bolstered by strong pricing for its products across all markets, decelerating input cost inflation, and contributions from Cemex’s growth investment strategy and Urbanization Solutions business. Cemex’s leverage ratio declined to 2.06x⁽¹⁾, within investment grade parameters.

“I am pleased to announce that 2023 is a record year for our company where we delivered not only great results and recovered from the extraordinary inflationary pressures of the last few years, but also continued executing against our ambitious decarbonization commitments, reducing our CO₂ emissions by 4% this year and by 13% since 2020,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. “Despite the significant macro challenges of the last four years, we have proven not only the resiliency of our business model but also our ability to pivot and adjust rapidly to changing global conditions. This foundation gives us additional flexibility in capital allocation, where we continue to accelerate investments in our bolt-on growth strategy, initiate a sustainable return program for shareholders, and bolster our capital structure.”

Cemex proposes the initiation of a quarterly dividend program:

•

Subject to approval at Cemex’s Annual Shareholder Meeting to be scheduled on March 22^nd.

•

Equal quarterly dividend distribution totaling US$120 million in first year; first payment commencing in 2^nd quarter of 2024 and final payment in 1^st quarter of 2025.

•

Subsequent dividend distributions under the program will be subject to shareholder approval.

Consolidated net sales in 2023 reached US$17.4 billion, an increase of 8% on a like-to-like basis, while increasing 5% in fourth quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Our higher prices in local currency terms in all regions drove our top line growth.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 2.7pp to 66.3% in 2023, and was 2.5pp lower in the fourth quarter versus the same period last year, mainly driven by pricing of our products, easing cost headwinds, and operational efficiencies. This was the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of Net Sales.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, increased by 0.6pp in 2023 to 21.5%, and was 1.7pp higher during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the same period last year.

Operating EBITDA in 2023 grew 20% on a like-to-like basis, reaching a record US$3.35 billion, with growth in all four regions, while increasing 13% in the fourth quarter. Operating EBITDA outperformance reflects not only strong pricing of our products and decelerating input cost inflation, but also the success of our growth investment strategy, as well as continued growth in our Urbanization Solutions business.

Operating EBITDA margin increased by 2.0pp from 17.2% to 19.2% in 2023 and was 1.2pp higher in fourth quarter. The expansion reflects the pricing strategy execution for our products, as well as easing cost inflation and operational efficiencies, with full year margin exceeding our goal of recovering 2021 levels, after adjusting for volume and product mix.

Controlling interest net income (loss) resulted in an income of US$182 million in 2023 and a loss of US$441 million in the fourth quarter. Despite better operating performance, net income for the year was lower due to a provision for a tax fine created in fourth quarter related to a tax matter in Spain. In addition, in 2022 we recorded a gain from the sale of our operations in Costa Rica and El Salvador, and Neoris.

Our Mexican operations delivered strong results in 2023, with both Sales and EBITDA growing in the mid teen percentage area, supported by strong volumes and pricing of our products. Operating EBITDA margin slightly decreased in the year mainly due to an unfavorable product mix effect and higher transportation costs.

The recovery in cement volumes in 2023 was driven by the formal sector, with bulk cement more than offsetting the decline in bagged, while ready mix and aggregate volumes grew high single-digit. Importantly, we have seen a pickup in bagged cement demand in the back half of the year which we believe bodes well for 2024.

The United States posted record full year Operating EBITDA of over US$1 billion in 2023, an important milestone for the business. Operating EBITDA grew 37% year-over-year due to the pricing strategy for our products, growth investments, and decelerating costs. The material Operating EBITDA margin recovery of 4.4pp reflects our success in recovering multi-year cost inflation through pricing as well as easing inflation headwinds.

Prices in 2023 for our three core products rose between 12% and 19%.

Volume decline in the US in 2023 largely reflects bad weather, lower residential and commercial demand, completion of some large industrial projects, as well as some market share loss due to our pricing strategy for our products. In response to the slowdown in demand, we were once again able to reduce our lower margin cement imports to support profitability.

EMEA delivered solid full year results despite a challenging demand environment. The operating EBITDA growth and margin expansion experienced in the first nine months of the year was interrupted in the fourth quarter, with a slowdown in construction activity in the region, as well as major maintenance in the Philippines. Despite the slowdown, full year EBITDA rose 7%, while EBITDA margin expanded by 0.3 percentage points.

Europe posted record full year Operating EBITDA, growing more than 20%, and margin expansion of 2pp. These achievements are attributable to the success of our “One Europe” strategy implemented in 2019 which consolidated and integrated our footprint in the region, accelerated our Climate Action efforts, while rationalizing costs and pursuing bolt-on growth investments in integrated urban micro markets.

In Asia, Middle East and Africa, adverse competitive dynamics in the Philippines, as well as an overall slowdown of construction activity, negatively impacted the region throughout the year.

Operating results

In South, Central America and Caribbean, after a challenging 2022 where the pricing for our products struggled to keep up with cost inflation, Sales and Operating EBITDA rebounded in 2023.

Pricing of our products drove top line growth, with cement prices increasing 9%, but still not sufficient to cover input cost inflation. While bagged cement demand remains under pressure, bulk volumes continue to grow, supported by infrastructure projects such as the Bogotá Metro, the 4^th Bridge over the Canal in Panamá and tourism related projects in the Dominican Republic.

Higher Operating EBITDA and a lower investment in working capital, partially offset by higher taxes, resulted in free cash flow after maintenance capex of US$1,208 million in 2023, a 6-year high, and US$655 million higher than last year.

The increase in cash taxes is a consequence of stronger results, as well as the tax effect of foreign exchange on our U.S. dollar denominated debt.

During 2023 we had no incremental investment in working capital despite higher sales and continued inflationary and supply chain pressures. This is the consequence of a management initiative undertaken in 2^nd quarter to optimize working capital. This focus on working capital to maximize free cash flow generation is expected to continue into 2024.

During the year, the main uses of Free cash flow include the acquisition of the assets of Atlantic Minerals Limited in Canada, the investment in a new Construction, Demolition, and Excavation Waste (CDEW) recycling center in EMEA, outflows from our derivative instruments primarily related to FX, coupons of our subordinated notes with no fixed maturity, and repurchases of shares in CLH and CHP.

Equity-related information

As of December 31, 2022, based on our latest 20-F annual report, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,487,786,971. See Cemex’s reports furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information, if any, regarding repurchases of securities and other developments that may have caused a change in the number of CPO-equivalents outstanding after December 31, 2022. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, no CPOs were repurchased by Cemex.

One Cemex ADS represents ten Cemex CPOs. One Cemex CPO represents two Series A shares and one Series B share.

For purposes of this report, outstanding CPO-equivalents equal the total number of Series A and B shares outstanding as if they were all held in CPO form, less CPOs held by Cemex and its subsidiaries, which as of December 31, 2022, were 20,541,277. Restricted CPOs allocated to eligible employees as variable compensation are not included in the outstanding CPO-equivalents.

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize the fair value of all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities, 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 subsequently reclassified into earnings as the effects of the underlying are recognized in 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 in the case of a disposal of the net investment. As of December 31, 2023, in connection with its derivatives portfolio’s fair market value recognition, Cemex recognized a change in mark to market as compared to 3Q23 resulting in a financial liability of US$26 million.

Other Information

Discontinued operations

On October 25, 2022, Cemex concluded a partnership with Advent International (“Advent”). As part of the partnership, Advent acquired from Cemex a 65% stake in Neoris for US$119 million. While surrendering control to Advent, Cemex retained a 34.8% stake and remained a key strategic partner and customer of Neoris. Cemex’s retained 34.8% stake in Neoris is accounted for under the equity method. Neoris’ results for the period from January 1 to October 25, 2022, are reported in Cemex’s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, net of income tax, in the single line item “Discontinued operations.”

On August 31, 2022, Cemex concluded with affiliates of Cementos Progreso Holdings, S.L. the sale of its operations in Costa Rica and El Salvador for a total consideration for Cemex of US$325 million. The assets divested consisted of one cement plant, one grinding station, seven ready-mix plants, one aggregates quarry, as well as one distribution center in Costa Rica and one distribution center in El Salvador. Cemex’s operations of these assets for the period from January 1 to August 31, 2022, are reported in Cemex’s income statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, net of income tax, in the single line item “Discontinued operations.”

The following table presents condensed combined information of the income statement for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022, for Cemex’s discontinued operations related to Neoris, Costa Rica and El Salvador:

Relevant accounting effects included in the reported financial statements

During 2023 and 2022, Cemex recognized non-cash impairment charges in the statements of income for amounts of US$36 and US$442 million, respectively, within the line-item other expenses, net, of which US$365 million in 2022, refers to impairment of goodwill while US$77 million in 2022, and $36 million in 2023, refer to impairment of property, machinery and equipment. The impairment losses of goodwill in 2022 refer to Cemex operating segments in the United States for US$273 million and Spain for US$92 million, which reduced the line item of goodwill in the statement of financial position in 2022. The impairment losses of property, machinery, and equipment in 2023 and 2022 relate mainly to idle assets in several countries.

The goodwill impairment loss in 2022 was mainly related to the significant increase in the discount rates as compared to 2021 and the resulting significant decrease in the Cemex’s projected cash flows in these operating segments considering the global high inflationary environment as of that date, which increased the risk-free rates, and the funding cost observed in the industry during the period. These negative effects more than offset the expected improvements in the estimated Operating EBITDA generation in both of Cemex’s businesses in the United States and Spain. These non-cash impairment losses did not impact Cemex’s liquidity, Operating EBITDA, and cash taxes payable. Nevertheless, they decreased Cemex’s total assets and equity and generated net losses in the fourth quarter of 2022.
