The consolidated financial statements are presented in dollars based on IAS 21,

The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

(“IAS 21”), while the reporting currency of the Parent Company is the Mexican Peso. As a result, for the consolidated entity, transactions of common stock, additional

paid-in

capital and retained earnings are translated and accrued using historical exchange rates of the dates in which the transactions occurred. As a result, although the amounts of total

non-controlling

interest in the consolidated financial statements and total stockholders’ equity of the Parent Company are the same, IAS 21 methodology results in differences between

line-by-line

items within CEMEX’s controlling interest and the Parent Company’s stockholders’ equity. The official stockholders’ equity for statutory purposes is that of the Parent Company as expressed in Mexican pesos. As of December 31, 2021, the

line-by-line

reconciliation between CEMEX’s controlling interest, as reported using the dollar as presentation currency, and the Parent Company’s

stockholders’

equity, using a convenience translation of the balances in pesos translated using the exchange rate of

20.50

pesos per dollar as of December 31, 2021, is as follows:


	As of December 31, 2021
	Consolidated			Parent Company

Common stock and additional paid-in capital 1	$	7,810			5,150
Other equity reserves 1,2		(1,371	)		2,289
Retained earnings 2		3,388			2,388

Total controlling interest	$	9,827			9,827

The difference relates to the method of accruing dollars using the historical exchange rates to translate each common stock and additional

paid-in

capital transaction denominated in Mexican pesos to dollars. The cumulative effect from these changes in exchange rates is recognized against other equity reserves.

2	The difference relates with the method of accruing dollars using the exchange rates of each month during the period for income statement purposes. The cumulative effect from these changes in exchange rates is recognized against other equity reserves.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, stockholders’ equity excludes investments in CPOs of the Parent Company held by subsidiaries of $14 (20,541,277 CPOs) and $11 (20,541,277 CPOs), respectively, which were eliminated

within “Other equity reserves.”

NON-CONTROLLING

INTEREST AND PERPETUAL DEBENTURES

Non-controlling

interest

Non-controlling

interest represents the share of

non-controlling

stockholders in the equity and results of consolidated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020,

non-controlling

interest in equity amounted to $444 and $428, respectively. In 2021, 2020 and 2019,

non-controlling

interests in consolidated net income were $25, $21 and $36, respectively. These

non-controlling

interests arise mainly from the following CEMEX’s subsidiaries:

•

In February 2017, CEMEX acquired a controlling interest in TCL, whose shares trade in the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there is a

non-controlling

interest in TCL of 30.17% of its common shares (see note 5.3 for certain relevant condensed financial information).

•

In July 2016, CHP closed its initial offering of 45% of its common shares. Pursuant to the repurchase of CHP’s shares in the market and a public stock right offering. CEMEX’s reduced the

non-controlling

interest in CHP from 45% in 2018 to 33.22% in 2019 and to 22.16% in 2020 considering the results of a public stock rights offering. CHP’s assets consist primarily of CEMEX’s cement manufacturing assets in the Philippines.

•

In November 2012, CLH, a direct subsidiary of CEMEX España, concluded its initial offering of common shares. CLH’s assets include substantially all of CEMEX’s assets in Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador. In December 2020, by means of a public share tender offer, CEMEX España increased its ownership in CLH by acquiring 108,337,613 shares of CLH in exchange of $103. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there is a

non-controlling

interest in CLH of 7.74% and 7.63%, respectively, of CLH’s outstanding common shares, excluding shares held in treasury

Perpetual debentures

As of December 31, 2020, the line item

“Non-controlling

interest and perpetual debentures” included $449, representing the notional amount of perpetual debentures, which exclude any perpetual debentures held by subsidiaries. In June 2021, considering the issuance of the subordinated notes described above, CEMEX repurchased all series of its outstanding perpetual notes.

Until

its repurchase, coupon payments on the perpetual debentures were included within “Other equity reserves” and amounted to $

2021

, $

2020

and $

2019

, excluding in all the periods the coupons accrued by perpetual debentures held by subsidiaries.

CEMEX’s perpetual debentures had no fixed maturity date and there were no contractual obligations for CEMEX to exchange any series of its outstanding perpetual debentures for financial assets or financial liabilities. As a result, these debentures, issued by Special Purpose Vehicles (“SPVs”), qualified as equity instruments under applicable IFRS and were classified within

non-controlling

interest as they were issued by consolidated entities. Subject to certain conditions, CEMEX had the unilateral right to defer indefinitely the payment of interest due on the debentures. The different SPVs were established solely for purposes of issuing the perpetual debentures and were included in CEMEX’s consolidated financial statements.
