Consolidated Net Sales reached US$4.1 billion in 2Q25, down 4% from 2Q24 on a like-to-like basis. Higher prices in local currency in key markets along with strong volume performance in EMEA, partially mitigated demand conditions in Mexico and the U.S.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, increased by 1.5pp to 66.0% in 2Q25, driven mainly by the effect of lower net sales partially mitigated by energy tailwind.
Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, marginally increased by 0.4pp compared with the same period last year, reaching 22.1% in 2Q25, driven mainly by the effect of lower net sales, partially mitigated by lower distribution and logistics expenses.
Operating EBITDA reached US$823 million in 2Q25, decreasing 9% on a like-to-like basis. Performance is largely explained by a tough comparison base with a record-high second-quarter Operating EBITDA in the prior year, as well as volume dynamics, partially offset by cost improvements.
Operating EBITDA margin in 2Q25 remained resilient declining by 1.1pp to 20.0%, compared to 2Q24, despite volume performance. Variation is largely explained by effect of geographic mix.
Controlling interest net income was US$318 million in 2Q25, increasing 38% from 2Q24.

In Mexico, second quarter results continued to be challenged by the difficult prior year comparison, driven by pre-election social and infrastructure spending, FX level, as well as the first year of a new administration. Volumes were further hampered by record national precipitation levels in June, which primarily impacted the central region.
Average daily cement sales in the quarter stabilized with low-single digit sequential growth, on the back of ongoing industrial projects as well as state driven infrastructure works.
Volumes in Mexico are expected to improve in the second half as the difficult prior year comparison base is lapped, and the current government accelerates its infrastructure and social housing plans.
Since the beginning of the year, cement, ready-mix and aggregates prices are up 5%, 6% and 8%, respectively, in local currency terms, aiming to offset prior years input costs inflation.
Despite the volume headwind in the quarter and resulting loss of operating leverage, Operating EBITDA margin was remarkably resilient, relatively flat to the prior year. This performance was driven by a combination of higher prices, favorable energy and other cost containment efforts.

In the United States, Operating EBITDA was impacted by lower volumes, given high levels of precipitation in many markets and continued weakness in the residential sector.
Sequential pricing was stable in cement and ready-mix, with aggregates increasing by 1%, adjusting for product mix. Since the beginning of the year, aggregates prices adjusting for product mix are up 5%.
Operating EBITDA margin remained relatively stable, very close to last years record high. This performance is explained by higher prices and lower costs, due to continued gains in operational efficiency with increased domestic production replacing imports.

The EMEA region continued to deliver strong performance, leading to the highest first half Operating EBITDA in recent history, with a solid margin expansion of almost 3pp, representing its fourth consecutive quarter of earnings recovery.
In Europe, robust cement volume growth in the quarter was driven by the infrastructure and residential sectors; positive pricing in Europe, excluding Germany, with cement, ready-mix and aggregates up 3%, 2% and 3%, respectively, vs. 4Q24, in local currency terms.
Sequential cement and ready-mix prices in EMEA increased 4% and 1%, respectively, while aggregates prices declined by 1%, in local currency terms. On a cumulative basis, cement and ready-mix prices increased by 4%, while aggregates prices are up 3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, in local currency terms.
Our operations in Europe continue progressing on decarbonization with net CO2 emissions in the quarter reaching a new record low of 418 kg per ton of cement equivalent.
Demand conditions continue to improve in the Middle East and Africa with volumes expanding at double-digit rates, fueled by housing, non-residential projects and large infrastructure works.

In South, Central America and the Caribbean, cement volumes increased by 1% adjusting for business days in the quarter. Demand in Colombia is being driven by the informal sector and the Metro project in Bogotá. In Jamaica tourism related developments, along with improved bagged cement sales are driving activity.
Sequential prices in cement and ready-mix in the region were relatively stable after the mid-single digit increase achieved in the first quarter, in local currency terms.
In Jamaica, we recently concluded a significant debottlenecking project. The increased capacity should allow us to address market demand without relying on lower margin imports. As we worked to complete the expansion project in the quarter, we increased import volumes to meet market demand resulting in a temporary impact on Operating EBITDA margin.

Equity-related information
As of December 31, 2024, based on our latest 20-F Annual Report, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,508,328,248. See Cemexs 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, 2024. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, 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, 2024, were 20,541,277. Starting 2024, employees receive restricted ADRs instead of restricted CPOs. Restricted ADRs allocated to eligible employees as variable compensation are not included in the outstanding CPO-equivalents.
Derivative instruments

These derivative instruments are mainly used to hedge the market price risk of certain fuels associated with certain Cemex operations, such as transportation and production. In addition, there are call spreads on Brent oil and derivatives thereof, designed to mitigate the exposure related to the cost of fuel implicit in distribution expenses. |
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 June 30, 2025, in connection with the derivatives portfolios fair market value recognition, Cemex recognized change in mark-to-market resulting in a financial liability of US$73 million.

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 stockholders 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.

Many factors could cause Cemexs expectations, expected results, and/or projections expressed in this report not being reached and/or not producing the expected benefits and/or results, as any such benefits or results are subject to uncertainties, costs, performance, and rate of success and/or implementation of technologies, some of which are not yet proven, among other factors. 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. Forward-looking statements should not be considered guarantees of future performance, nor the results or developments are indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Actual results of Cemexs operations and the development of market conditions in which Cemex operates, or other circumstances that may materialize, may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in the information disclosed in this report. Any or all of Cemexs 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. The forward-looking statements and the information contained in this report are made and stated as of the dates specified in this report and are subject to change without notice, and except to the extent legally required, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or correct the information contained in this report or revise any forward-looking statements in this report, whether to reflect new information, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated future events or circumstances, any change in our expectations regarding those forward-looking statements, any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, or otherwise. Readers should review future reports filed or furnished by us with the SEC, the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores). Market data used in this report not attributed to a specific source are estimates of Cemex and have not been independently verified. Certain financial and statistical information contained in this report is subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, any discrepancies between the totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Unless otherwise specified, all references to records are internal records.
This report includes certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) financial measures that differ from financial information presented by Cemex in accordance with IFRS in its financial statements and reports containing financial information. The aforementioned non-IFRS financial measures include Operating EBITDA (operating earnings before other expenses, net plus depreciation and amortization) and Operating EBITDA Margin (Operating EBITDA for the period divided by our revenues as reported in our financial statements). The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBITDA is Operating earnings before other expenses, net, as Operating EBITDA adds depreciation and amortization to the IFRS financial measure. Our Operating EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing our Operating EBITDA for the period by our revenues as reported in our financial statements. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare Operating EBITDA Margin. These non-IFRS financial measures are designed to complement and should not be considered superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Although Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA Margin are not measures of operating performance, an alternative to cash flows or a measure of financial position under IFRS, Operating EBITDA is the financial measure used by Cemexs management to review operating performance and profitability, for decision-making purposes and to allocate resources. Moreover, our Operating EBITDA is a measure used by Cemexs creditors to review our ability to internally fund capital expenditures, service or incur debt and comply with financial covenants under our financing agreements. Furthermore, Cemexs management regularly reviews our Operating EBITDA Margin by reportable segment and on a consolidated basis as a measure of performance and profitability. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Non-IFRS financial measures presented in the report are being provided for informative purposes only and shall not be construed as investment, financial, or other advice.
Also, this report includes statistical data regarding the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, clinker, aggregates, and Urbanization Solutions. Cemex generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that Cemex believes to be reliable sources. Cemex has not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organization to refer to their reports in this report. Cemex acts in strict compliance of antitrust laws and as such, among other measures, maintains an independent pricing policy that has been independently developed and its core element is to price Cemexs products and services based upon their quality and characteristics as well as their value to Cemexs customers. Cemex does not accept any communications or agreements of any type with competitors regarding the determination of Cemexs prices for Cemexs products and services. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to Cemexs prices for Cemexs products.
The information, statements, and opinions contained in this report do not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation, an offer to sell, or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or financial instruments, or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities or other financial instruments.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability-Related Data, Metrics, and Methodologies
This report includes non-financial metrics, estimates, or other information related to ESG and sustainability matters that are subject to significant uncertainties, which may include the methodology, collection, and verification of data, various estimates, and assumptions, and/or underlying data that is obtained from third parties, some of which cannot be independently verified.
The preparation of certain information on ESG and sustainability matters contained in the report requires the application of a number of key judgments, assumptions, and estimates. The reported measures reflect good faith estimates, assumptions, and judgments at the given point in time. There is a risk that these judgments, estimates, or assumptions may subsequently prove to be incorrect and/or, to the extent legally required, may need to be restated or changed. In addition, the underlying data, systems, and controls that support non-financial reporting are generally considerably less sophisticated than the systems and internal control for financial reporting and rely on manual processes. This may result in non-comparable information between organizations and/or between reporting periods within organizations as methodologies continue to develop and/or be socialized. The further development of or changes to accounting and/or reporting standards could materially impact the performance metrics, data points, and targets contained in the report, and the reader may not be able to compare non-financial information performance metrics, data points, or targets between reporting periods on a direct like-for-like basis.

Additionally, the information disclosed in this report contains references to green, social, sustainable, or equivalent-labelled activities, products, assets, or projects. There is currently no single globally recognized or accepted, consistent, and comparable set of definitions or standards (legal, regulatory, or otherwise) of, nor widespread cross-market consensus i) as to what constitutes, a green, social, or sustainable or having equivalent-labelled activity, product, or asset; or ii) as to what precise attributes are required for a particular activity, product, or asset to be defined as green, social, or sustainable or such other equivalent label; or iii) as to climate and sustainable funding and financing activities and their classification and reporting. Therefore, there is little certainty, and no assurance or representation is given that our activities, products, or assets and/or reporting of such activities and/or reporting of those activities, products, or assets will meet any present or future expectations or requirements for describing or classifying such activities, products, or assets as green, social, or sustainable or attributing similar labels. We expect policies, regulatory requirements, standards, and definitions to be developed and continuously evolve over time.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking ESG or Sustainability Statements
Certain sections in the report contain ESG- or sustainability-related forward-looking statements, such as aims, ambitions, estimates, forecasts, plans, projections, targets, goals and other metrics, including but not limited to: climate and emissions, Business and Human Rights, corporate governance, Research and Development (R&D) and partnerships, development of products and services that intend to address sustainability-related concerns and sustainability related targets/ ambitions when finalized, including the implementation of technologies and other initiatives that aim to reduce and/or capture CO2 emissions. These forward-looking statements also include references to specific programs, such as our Future in Action climate action program, as well various ESG-related indicators, objectives or metrics disclosed previously or that may be disclosed in the future, none of which are guarantees and any and all of which may ultimately not be achieved or may be abandoned at any time, whether in part, in full, or within any specific timeframe. There are many significant uncertainties, assumptions, judgements, opinions, estimates, forecasts and statements made of future expectations underlying these forward-looking statements which could cause actual results, performance, outcomes or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, which include, but are not limited to: the extent and pace of climate change, including the timing and manifestation of physical and transition risks; the macroeconomic environment; uncertainty around future climate-related policy, including the timely implementation and integration of adequate government policies; the effectiveness of actions of governments, legislators, regulators, businesses, investors, customers, and other stakeholders to mitigate the impact of climate and sustainability-related risks; changes in customer behavior and demand, changes in the available technology for mitigation and the effectiveness of any such technologies, as some of these new technologies may be unproven; the roll-out of low carbon infrastructure; the availability and adoption of renewable energy within in our value chain; the development of carbon capture, circular utilization, and sequestration technologies, including the adoption of cost-effective carbon-related technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); the availability of accurate, verifiable, reliable, consistent, and comparable climate-related data; lack of transparency and comparability of climate-related forward-looking methodologies; variation in approaches and outcomes, as variations in methodologies may lead to under or overestimates and consequently present exaggerated indication of climate-related risk; and reliance on assumptions and future uncertainty (calculations of forward-looking metrics are complex and require many methodological choices and assumptions).
Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, changing national and international standards, industry and scientific practices, regulatory requirements, and market expectations regarding climate change, which remain under continuous development, are subject to different interpretations.
There can be no assurance that these standards, practices, requirements, and expectations will not be interpreted differently than our understanding when defining sustainability-related ambitions and targets or change in a manner that substantially increases the cost or effort for us to achieve such ambitions and targets.
