Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2021 reached US$3.8 billion, an increase of 8% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations, compared to the third quarter of 2020. Higher local currency prices in all regions and products as well as higher volumes, contributed to top line growth.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 2.0pp during the third quarter of 2021 compared with the same period last year, from 65.7% to 67.7%. The increase was mainly driven by higher energy costs, as well as higher raw materials and imports.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.1pp during the third quarter of 2021 compared with the same period last year, from 21.1% to 20.0% mainly due to lower administrative and corporate expenses.

Operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2021 reached US$740 million, decreasing 1% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations. Higher contributions from Mexico and our SCAC region were more than offset by declines in the USA and EMEA region.

Operating EBITDA margin decreased by 1.6pp from 21.2% in the third quarter of 2020 to 19.6% this quarter.

Other expenses, net for the quarter were US$588 million, which mainly includes ~US$500 million of impairment.

Foreign exchange results represented a loss of US$7 million, mainly due to the fluctuation of the Euro and the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar.

Controlling interest net income (loss) resulted in a loss of US$376 million in the third quarter of 2021 versus a loss of US$1,535 million in the same quarter of 2020. The improvement in net income primarily reflects the lower impairment charge of US$500 million in 2021 in comparison with 2020, higher operating earnings before other expenses net and lower financial expenses.

In Mexico, net sales reported double digit growth following strong pricing and volumes. Bulk cement, aggregates, and ready-mix volumes were the main drivers of volume growth. Additionally, demand conditions remain favorable with a high level of capacity utilization across the country.

During the quarter, cement volumes declined 3% due to bad weather and more difficult year over year comps. Bagged cement moderated after 5 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. On the other hand, bulk cement, ready-mix and aggregates accelerated in line with the formal sector recovery. Aggregates and ready-mix volumes grew 6% during the quarter. Activity in the industrial sector is picking up momentum, primarily driven by the development of warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers throughout the country. Tourism is recovering and previously delayed projects are restarting. Moreover, record level remittances and government social programs continue to support the informal sector.

In the United States, strong volume performance and improved pricing led to double-digit growth in net sales. Despite heavy rains and hurricanes in the quarter, the US continued to enjoy strong demand across all products with most of our markets sold out. Cement volumes grew 5%, ready mix 10%, and aggregates 3%. Activity continued to be driven by the residential sector. With the implementation during the third quarter of a second round of price increases covering our cement and ready-mix businesses in several markets, our prices for these products were up 2% sequentially. However, these increases are still not enough to offset rising costs in energy and imports, Consequently, our EBITDA margin declined 3.6 percentage points.

In EMEA, top line growth in Europe, driven by strong volumes and pricing, more than offset a slight decline in sales in Asia, Middle East, and Africa. European cement volumes were up 4%, led by double-digit growth in the UK and Poland, as these markets continue to benefit from important infrastructure and residential projects.

Given the tight capacity utilization in Europe and the sudden runup in input cost inflation, we implemented a successful second price increase in several European markets during third quarter. As a result of the increase, our European cement prices were up 2% sequentially.

In the Philippines, cement volumes were stable year over year impacted by the rainy season, and a difficult prior year comparison base. Operational costs rose due to higher purchases of clinker.

In Israel, after adjusting for holidays in the quarter, average daily sales volumes showed significant momentum, with ready-mix up 10% and aggregates up 3%

EBITDA margin in EMEA declined 1.8 percentage points due to higher purchased clinker, energy and distribution costs.

Our South, Central America and the Caribbean operations continue to show strong demand dynamics. Despite lockdowns in Jamaica during the quarter, regional cement volumes grew 5% driven by double-digit growth in the Dominican Republic and Central America. Cement prices declined 2% sequentially due to a product and geographic mix effect. While EBITDA increased 3%, EBITDA margin for the region declined as a result of higher fuels, imports and maintenance costs.

In Colombia, industry cement growth was supported by housing and infrastructure projects. In the Dominican Republic, cement volumes grew 11% on the back of a dynamic self-construction sector and the reactivation of delayed tourism projects.

Free cash flow after maintenance capex was approximately $370 million dollars, decreasing versus last year due to higher maintenance and working capital investment. But importantly, year-to-date free cash after maintenance capex doubled versus the prior year.

We continue to make progress on deleveraging, with our consolidated leverage ratio now at 2.74 times, a reduction of 0.11 times on a sequential basis, and 1.53 times versus 3Q20. Net debt was reduced by $248 million dollars sequentially.

We are in the process of closing a $3.25 billion dollars bank debt refinancing, with an improvement in terms and conditions more reflective of an investment grade credit. The new bank debt will be aligned with our recently announced Sustainability Linked Financing Framework.

Given our deleveraging efforts, the collateral that guarantees CEMEX’s debt under its main bank agreement and its senior secured notes, was released. This was triggered after CEMEX reported two consecutive quarters with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75x or less.

Additionally, with the recent improvement in our credit profile, S&P upgraded our credit rating outlook to positive.

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as 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 which case 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, and/or transactions related to net investment hedges, in which case changes in fair 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, 2021, in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and liabilities resulting in a net asset of US$22 million.

Other significant transactions

In connection with the CO2 emission allowances in the European Union (the “Allowances”) under the EU Emissions Trading System (“EU ETS”), considering the Company’s estimates of being ahead of its then current 35% reduction goals in CO2 emissions by year 2030 versus its 1990 baseline across all of CEMEX’s cement plants in Europe and the expected delivery of net-zero CO2 concrete for all products and geographies by year 2050, as well as the innovative technologies and considerable capital investments that have to be deployed to achieve such goals, during the second half of March 2021, in different transactions, CEMEX sold 12.3 million Allowances for approximately €509 million (approximately US$600 million) that the Company had accrued as of the end of Phase III on December 31, 2020, of compliance under the EU ETS. This sale was recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 as part of the line item “Other expenses, net”. As of the date of this report, CEMEX believes it still retains sufficient Allowances to cover the requirements of its operations in Europe until at least the end of 2025 under Phase IV of the EU ETS, which commenced on January 1, 2021 and will last until December 31, 2030. CEMEX considers this transaction will improve its ability to further address the investments required to achieve its reductions goals, which include, but are not limited to, the general process switch from fossil fuels to lower carbon alternatives, becoming more efficient in the use of energy, sourcing alternative raw materials that contribute to reducing overall emissions or clinker factor, developing and actively promoting lower carbon products, and the recent deployment of ground breaking hydrogen technology in all CEMEX’s European kilns. CEMEX is also working closely with alliances to develop industrial scale technologies towards its goal of a net zero carbon future.

Issuance of Subordinated Notes without Fixed Maturity

On June 8, 2021, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. successfully closed the issuance of US$1.0 billion of its 5.125% Subordinated Notes with no Fixed Maturity (the “Subordinated Notes”). CEMEX used the proceeds from the Subordinated Notes to redeem in full all outstanding series of perpetual debentures previously issued by consolidated special purpose vehicles for an aggregate amount of approximately US$447 million and for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other indebtedness.

Considering the overall characteristics of the Subordinated Notes, including that they do not have contractual repayment date and do not meet the definition of a financial liability under IFRS, CEMEX accounts for its Subordinated Notes as equity instruments in the line item “Other equity reserves and subordinated notes without fixed maturity.” As of September 30, 2021, such line item includes the proceeds from the issuance of Subordinated Notes net of issuance costs for a total of US$994 million.

As mentioned above, during June 2021, CEMEX used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes to redeem the outstanding amount of perpetual debentures that were accounted as part of CEMEX’s non-controlling interest in equity.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets in 3Q21 and 3Q20

During the third quarter of 2021, expected increasing input cost inflation, 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, approximately, of $317 million related to our business in Spain, $96 million related to our business in UAE, and $27 million related to our IT business segment due to 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 $49 million.

As previously disclosed, during the third quarter of 2020, we recognized a non-cash aggregate impairment charge of approximately US$1.5 billion, of which approximately US$1.02 billion related to our business in the U.S. and approximately US$480 million related to several assets, both cases due to the lack of visibility and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic.

These non-cash charges recognized during the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 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.

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.
