Consolidated Net Sales reached US$4.6 billion in 2Q26, a 7% increase from 2Q25 on a like-to-like basis, supported by positive performance in Mexico and EMEA.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 1.1pp to 64.8% in 2Q26 compared with the same period last year, driven by efficiencies under Project Cutting Edge and a favorable energy environment.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased 1.7pp in 2Q26 to 20.4%, mainly benefiting from overhead savings under Project Cutting Edge.

Operating EBITDA reached US$1,018 million in 2Q26, increasing 18% on a like-to-like basis, including a favorable one-off settlement of an outstanding claim in Europe of US$42 million. Additionally, growth reflects cost savings of US$60 million this quarter, along with organic growth in most of our regions.

Operating EBITDA margin in 2Q26 increased 2.1pp to 22.2% year-on-year. Expansion is largely explained by structural efficiencies, pricing discipline, benefits from operating leverage as volumes recover in Mexico, as well as the favorable one-off in Europe.

Controlling interest net income of US$347 million in 2Q26 increased 9% year-on-year driven by robust operating performance.

Mexico delivered strong results supported by cost efficiencies, improving demand, operating leverage, and a pricing strategy designed to offset input cost inflation. Operating EBITDA rose 27% on a like-to-like basis while Operating EBITDA margin expanded by 4.8pp in the quarter. Efforts to identify savings and achieve a best in class business model continued to pay off.

For the second consecutive quarter, cement volumes posted year-over-year growth as self-construction and government-backed social programs, such as Rural Roads and housing, continued to underpin bagged cement demand, and residential demand drove bulk cement volumes.

The social housing program continues to scale and is a meaningful lever of growth in our business this quarter.

In United States demand remained resilient despite unusually wet conditions in Texas and parts of the Mid-South. Adjusting for weather-related disruptions, we estimate that cement and ready-mix volumes would have both grown 1%, while aggregates would have expanded 7%. Cement volumes were supported by the integration of our new mortars business, Omega.

On a sequential basis, cement prices improved 1%, reflecting successful price increases across certain micro markets and geographic mix. In ready-mix, prices increased 2%, reflecting effective implementation of fuel surcharges. In aggregates, adjusted for mix, prices have increased at a mid-single-digit rate, compared to year-end 2025.

Disruptions in our operations related to bad weather in Texas, together with rising materials and freight costs, weighed on EBITDA and margin in the quarter.

Demand continues to be mainly led by infrastructure supported by the ongoing rollout of IIJA projects, while industrial demand, particularly related to the AI environment, continues to grow. Residential construction remains challenged by affordability constraints and elevated housing inventories in certain markets.

The EMEA region delivered positive results, driven by a favorable one-off adjustment in Europe, cost efficiencies and pricing, resulting in an Operating EBITDA margin expansion of 2.2pp. Adjusting for the US$42 million one-off benefit, Operating EBITDA expanded 9%, with margin flat year-over-year as lower volumes weighed on results.

In Europe, country volume performance reflected meaningful divergence, with recent heatwaves, project delays and slower demand recovery impacting construction activity across several markets. Continued growth in cement volumes in Spain and the Czech Republic partially offset softer performance in other countries.

Sequentially, prices across our three core products showed a muted performance, explained by a geographic mix effect, as most of our markets saw stable to higher prices. On a cumulative basis, compared to 4Q25, cement and ready-mix prices are up 3%, and aggregates prices are up 7%.

In continental Europe, the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, together with the gradual reduction of free CO₂ allowances under the EU ETS have been and should continue to be supportive of higher prices.

The Middle East and Africa region continued delivering strong results, with EBITDA growing 34%, driven by Project Cutting Edge and improved pricing. Encouragingly, our operations remained resilient amid regional tensions.

In South, Central America and the Caribbean we posted another strong quarter, with Operating EBITDA growing double digits, driven largely by disciplined cost management. These efforts translated into a robust margin expansion of 4.3pp.

Cement demand in the region was led by the informal sector, with Jamaica also benefiting from a pickup in reconstruction efforts related to last year’s hurricane Melissa as well as from tourism-related projects. Higher cement volumes in Colombia and Jamaica have offset softer performance in other markets.

We remain optimistic on the fundamentals of the region, supported by resilient informal construction.

Equity-related information

As of December 31, 2025, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,508,328,248. 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, 2025. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, 78,803,711 CPOs were repurchased by Cemex under its share repurchase program approved at Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s ordinary annual shareholders meeting held on March 25, 2025. On March 26, 2026, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s ordinary annual shareholders meeting approved a new repurchase program that will be in effect until the next annual shareholders meeting to be held in 2027. No CPOs were repurchased by Cemex under such program from March 26, 2026 to June 30, 2026.

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, 2025, 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.

1)

The exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures arising from net investments in foreign operations.

2)

As of June 30, 2026, these instruments are associated with bank loans, including interest rate and exchange rate swap derivatives.

3)

Cemex’s derivative financial instruments portfolio includes swaps and financial options. 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 implicit cost of fuel 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 hedging purposes. In cash-flow hedging 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 disposal of the net investment. As of June 30, 2026, in connection with the derivatives portfolio’s fair market value, Cemex recognized changes in fair market value resulting in a financial liability of US$42 million.

Discontinued operations

On October 6, 2025, Cemex concluded the sale of substantially all its operations and the majority of its assets in Panama to Grupo Estrella, primarily comprising one cement plant and related cement assets, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, for a total consideration of US$200 million. Cemex retained its admixtures business in Panama. The sale resulted in a loss on disposal of US$63 million and a goodwill write-off of US$24 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, Cemex’s operations in Panama are reported in Cemex’s income statements, net of income tax, in the single line item “Discontinued operations”.

On January 30, 2025, Cemex completed the sale of its operations in the Dominican Republic to Cementos Progreso Holdings, S.L., and its strategic partners for a total consideration of US$928 million, after adjustments for final cash, debt, and working capital balances. The divested assets consisted of one cement plant in the Dominican Republic with two integrated production lines, along with related cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and marine terminal assets. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, Cemex’s operations in the Dominican Republic are reported in Cemex’s income statements, net of income tax, in the single line item “Discontinued operations,” including a gain on sale of US$551 million, net of the reclassification of foreign currency translation effects accrued in equity until the date of sale and goodwill write off of US$13 million.

The table below summarizes the income statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. It includes Cemex’s discontinued operations related to Panama and the Dominican Republic.

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.

Many factors could cause our expectations, expected results, and/or projections expressed in this report and in the events referenced herein 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 also 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, performance and/or achievements may vary materially from historical results, performance, and/or achievements and/or results; performance and/or achievements expressly or implicitly anticipated by the forward-looking statements; or otherwise could have an impact on us. Forward-looking statements should not be considered guarantees of future performance, and past results or developments are not indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Actual results, performance and/or achievements of our operations and the development of market conditions in which we operate, or other circumstances that may materialize, may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this report, and events referenced therein. Any or all of our 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 disclosed in this report are made and stated as of the dates specified in such referenced 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 such referenced 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 CNBV and the BMV. Market data used in this report and events referenced herein not attributed to a specific source are our estimates 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 our internal records. This report includes certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures that differ from financial information presented by us in accordance with IFRS in our financial statements and reports containing financial information. The aforementioned non-IFRS financial measures include “Operating EBITDA” or “EBITDA” (operating earnings before other expenses, net plus depreciation and amortization), “Operating EBITDA Margin” or “EBITDA Margin” (Operating EBITDA for the period divided by revenues reported for the same period), “Operating EBIT” or “EBIT” (operating earnings before other expenses, net), and “Free Cash Flow from Operations” (Operating EBITDA minus net interest paid, maintenance capital expenditures, maintenance lease payments, fixed asset sales, change in working capital, net taxes paid, and other cash expenditures). 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. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare to Operating EBITDA Margin. The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBIT is “Operating earnings before other expenses, net”. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare to Free Cash Flow from Operations. 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, Operating EBITDA Margin, Operating EBIT and Free Cash Flow from Operations 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 our management to review operating performance and profitability, for decision-making purposes and to allocate resources. Moreover, our Operating EBITDA is a measure used by our creditors to review our ability to internally fund capital expenditures, service or incur debt and comply with financial covenants under our financing agreements. Furthermore, our 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. The financial measures presented in this 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. 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. We act in strict compliance with antitrust laws and as such, among other measures, maintain an independent pricing policy that has been independently developed and its core element is to price our products and services based upon their quality and characteristics as well as their value to our customers. We do not accept any communications or agreements of any type with competitors regarding the determination of our prices for our products and services. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to our prices for our products. The information, statements, and opinions contained in this report are for informational purposes only and 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. You should not construe any such information or other material as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice. We are not responsible for any third-party information referenced in this report. 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 this 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. The disclosure of information on sustainability-related matters is not yet subject to the same recognized or accepted reporting or accounting principles and rules as traditional financial information. Consequently, there are no commonly accepted reporting practices for us to follow, and ESG metrics among organizations in our industry may not be comparable. 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 this 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 such activities, products, assets or projects and/or reporting of those activities, products, assets or projects will meet any present or future expectations or requirements for describing or classifying such activities, products, assets or projects 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 this 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 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 current “Future in Action” climate action and nature program, as well as 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 and regulations, 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; excessive costs and expenses related to acquire and/or develop technology for mitigation; the roll-out of low carbon infrastructure; the availability and adoption of renewable energy 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; 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.
