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 10^th, 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.

(1)

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.

The information contained in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements and information are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including but not limited to statements related CEMEX’s plans, objectives, expectations (financial or otherwise), and typically can be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “may,” “assume,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “continue,” “would,” “can,” “consider,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “envision,” “plan,” “believe,” “foresee,” “predict,” “potential,” “target,” “strategy,” “intend,” “aimed”, and similar terms. Although CEMEX believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct, and actual results may vary materially from historical results or results anticipated by forward-looking statements due to various factors. These forward-looking statements reflect, as of the date on which such forward-looking statements are made, our current expectations and projections about future events based on our knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about future events, unless otherwise indicated. These statements necessarily involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated in this report. Among others, such risks, uncertainties, and assumptions include those discussed in CEMEX’s most recent annual report and those detailed from time to time in CEMEX’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores), which factors are incorporated herein by reference, including, but not limited to: impact of pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases and the response of governments and other third parties, including with respect to the novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 and its variants (“COVID-19”), which have affected and may continue to adversely affect, among other matters, the ability of our operating facilities to operate at full or any capacity, supply chains, international operations, availability of liquidity, investor confidence and consumer spending, as well as the availability of, and demand for, our products and services; the cyclical activity of the construction sector; our exposure to other sectors that impact our and our clients’ businesses, such as, but not limited to, the energy sector; availability of raw materials and related fluctuating prices; volatility in pension plan asset values and liabilities, which may require cash contributions to the pension plans; the impact of environmental cleanup costs and other liabilities relating to existing and/or divested businesses; our ability to secure and permit aggregates reserves in strategically located areas; the timing and amount of federal, state and local funding for infrastructure; changes in the level of spending for private residential and private nonresidential construction; changes in our effective tax rate; competition in the markets in which we offer our products and services; general political, social, health, economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate or that affect our operations and any significant economic, health, political or social developments in those markets, as well as any inherent risks to international operations; the regulatory environment, including environmental, energy, tax, labor, antitrust, and acquisition-related rules and regulations; our ability to satisfy our obligations under our material debt agreements, the indentures that govern our outstanding notes, and other debt instruments and financial obligations, including our subordinated notes with no fixed maturity and other financial obligations; the availability of short-term credit lines or working capital facilities, which can assist us in connection with market cycles; the impact of our below investment grade debt rating on our cost of capital and on the cost of the products and services we purchase; loss of reputation of our brands; our ability to consummate asset sales, fully integrate newly acquired businesses, achieve cost-savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, implement our pricing initiatives for our products and generally meet our “Operation Resilience” strategy’s goals; the increasing reliance on information technology infrastructure for our sales, invoicing, procurement, financial statements and other processes that can adversely affect our sales and operations in the event that the infrastructure does not work as intended, experiences technical difficulties or is subjected to cyber-attacks; changes in the economy that affect the demand for consumer goods, consequently affecting demand for our products and services; weather conditions, including but not limited to, excessive rain and snow, and disasters such as earthquakes and floods; trade barriers, including tariffs or import taxes and changes in existing trade policies or changes to, or withdrawals from, free trade agreements, including the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), which was signed on November 30, 2019 and entered into force on July 1, 2020, superseding the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”); availability and cost of trucks, railcars, barges and ships, as well as their licensed operators, for transport of our materials; labor shortages and constraints; terrorist and organized criminal activities as well as geopolitical events, such as war and armed conflicts, including the current war between Russia and Ukraine; declarations of insolvency or bankruptcy, or becoming subject to similar proceedings; and, natural disasters and other unforeseen events (including global health hazards such as COVID-19). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from historical results, performance or achievements and/or results, performance or achievements expressly or implicitly anticipated by the forward-looking statements, or otherwise could have an impact on us or our consolidated entities. Any or all of CEMEX’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate and the factors identified above are not exhaustive. Accordingly, undue reliance on forward-looking statements should not be placed, as such forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates on which they are made. These factors may be revised or supplemented, but CEMEX is not under, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this report or any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers should review future reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores). This report also includes statistical data regarding the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready mix concrete, clinker, aggregates, and Urbanization Solutions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to CEMEX’s prices for CEMEX’s products. We generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this report.
