[1] Represent nominal cash flows. As of December 31, 2020, the NPV of future payments under such leases was $1,323, of which, $436 refers to payments from 1 to 3 years and $242 refers to payments from 3 to 5 years.
[2] The schedule of debt payments, which includes current maturities, does not consider the effect of any refinancing of debt that may occur during the following years. In the past, CEMEX has replaced its long-term obligations for others of a similar nature.
[3] Estimated cash flows on floating rate denominated debt were determined using the floating interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2020.
[4] Represents estimated annual payments under these benefits for the next 10 years (note 19), including the estimate of new retirees during such future years.
[5] Refers mainly to the expansion of a cement-production line in the Philippines.
[6] Future payments for the purchase of raw materials are presented based on contractual nominal cash flows. Future nominal payments for energy were estimated for all contractual commitments based on an aggregate average expected consumption per year using the future prices of energy established in the contracts for each period. Future payments also include CEMEX’s commitments for the purchase of fuel.
