(1) For the period of January-December 2020, the effect of the potential dilutive shares generates anti-dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted gain per share. Consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 reached US$3.5 Controlling interest net income (loss) recorded an income of US$70 billion, representing an increase of 9% compared with the fourth million in the fourth quarter of 2020 versus a loss of US$238 million quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher volumes in in the same quarter of 2019. The income primarily reflects higher Mexico, USA, and our Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia region as operating earnings, lower income tax, and a positive variation in well as higher prices of our products in local currency terms in Mexico discontinued operations, partially offset by a higher loss from financial and our South, Central America and the Caribbean region. instruments. For the full year, controlling interest net income, amounted to a loss of US$1.5 billion as a result of the US$1.5 billion Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 0.6pp during impairment of goodwill and assets. the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with the same period last year, from 68.2% to 68.8%. The increase was mainly driven by higher Net debt plus perpetual notes decreased by US$206 million during electricity and purchased cement and clinker costs, as well as higher the quarter. maintenance costs, partially offset by lower fuel costs. Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.8pp during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with the same period last year, from 23.1% to 21.3%, mainly driven by our “Operation Resilience” efforts. Operating EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2020 reached US$644 million, a 19% increase on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations. All regions contributed to the increase in consolidated EBITDA. Operating EBITDA margin increased by 1.2pp from 17.0% in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 18.2% this quarter. Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$31 million, which mainly include severance payments, and COVID-19 contingency expenses.

The cement prices in local-currency terms remained flat sequentially mainly due to a geographic and product mix effect.

In Europe, volumes declined 2% both in cement and ready-mix, while aggregates grew 2% during the quarter, on a year-over-year basis. Cement volume performance continued to increase in Germany and Czech Republic, but decreased in the UK and Spain as a result of reinstated lockdown measures. Prices in Europe for our three core products in local currency terms, were up between 2% and 3% year-over-year, while cement prices in Egypt and the Philippines declined due to competitive pressures. In the Philippines, we experienced a drop in volumes as the pandemic impacted demand and bad weather hit during the quarter. Despite this, our EBITDA margin in the Philippines went up 2.2 percentage points as a result of successful cost containment efforts. Israel broke volume records once again in the fourth quarter with ready-mix and aggregates experiencing double-digit growth. The country was the fourth largest contributor to consolidated EBITDA for 2020.

Regional cement volumes reached the highest quarterly level since second quarter of 2018. Cement prices also increased by 2% in the quarter. EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points mainly due to higher prices, our cost reduction initiatives, and lower fuel prices which were partially offset by higher maintenance costs. In Colombia, construction activity was supported by the residential sector and 4G-highway projects. While industry cement volumes grew in the low-single digits during the quarter, the 7% decline in our cement volumes reflects the entry of capacity by a new competitor in late 2019.
