Stockholders' Equity
21)
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
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 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 Pesos. As of
December 31, 2022, 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 19.50 Pesos per Dollar as of December 31, 2022, is as follows:

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 Pesos to Dollars. The cumulative effect from these changes in exchange rates is recognized against other equity reserves.

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, 2022 and 2021, stockholders’ equity excludes investments in CPOs of the Parent Company held by subsidiaries of $8 (20,541,277 CPOs) and $14 (20,541,277 CPOs), respectively, which were eliminated within “Other equity reserves.”

COMMON STOCK AND ADDITIONAL

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the breakdown of consolidated common stock and additional
paid-in
capital was as follows:

Effective as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s management approved a restitution to the consolidated line item of “Retained earnings” for $2,481, by means of transfer with charge to the line item of “Additional
paid-in
capital.” This transfer represents a reclassification between line items within CEMEX’s consolidated stockholders’ equity that does not affect its consolidated amount.

Subordinated notes
On June 8, 2021, the Parent Company issued one series of $1,000 and a rate of 5.125% subordinated notes with no fixed maturity. After issuance costs, the Parent Company received $994. Considering that the Parent Company’s subordinated notes have no fixed maturity date, there is no contractual obligation for the Parent Company to deliver cash or any other financial assets, the payment of principal and interest may be deferred indefinitely at the sole discretion of CEMEX and specific redemption events, are fully under the Parent Company’s control, under applicable IFRS, these subordinated notes issued by the Parent Company qualify as equity instruments and are classified within controlling interest stockholders’ equity. The Parent Company has a repurchase option on the fifth anniversary of the subordinated notes. In the event of liquidation of the Parent Company’s due to commercial bankruptcy, the subordinated notes would come to the liquidation process according to its subordination after all liabilities.
Coupon payments on the subordinated notes were included within “Other equity reserves” and amounted to $54 in 2022 and $30 in 2021.
 
21.3)
RETAINED EARNINGS
The Parent Company’s net income for the year is subject to a 5% allocation toward a legal reserve until such reserve equals one fifth of the common stock. As of December 31, 2022, the legal reserve amounted to $93.
 
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, 2022 and 2021,
non-controlling
interest in equity amounted to $408 and $444, respectively. In 2022, 2021 and 2020,
non-controlling
interests in consolidated net income were $27, $25 and $21, 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, 2022 and 2021, there is a
non-controlling
interest in TCL of 30.17% of its common shares (see note 4.3 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 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 (see note 27 for Subsequent Events).
 
   
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, Guatemala and until August 31, 2022, operations in Costa Rica 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, 2022 and 2021, there is a
non-controlling
interest in CLH of 4.70% and 7.74%, respectively, of CLH’s outstanding common shares, excluding shares held in treasury. Moreover, on December 22, 2022, CEMEX España requested authorization to the Colombian Finance Superintendency to launch a Delisting Tender Offer of CLH’s ordinary shares (see note 27 for Subsequent Events).
Perpetual debentures
As of December 31, 2020, the line item of
“Non-controlling
interest” included $449, related to the notional amount of perpetual debentures, excluding any perpetual debentures then 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 $11 in 2021 and $24 in 2020, 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.
