Independent auditors’ report

CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.

Millions of Mexican pesos

Opinion

We have audited the separate financial statements of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“the Company”), which comprise the separate statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the separate statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the unconsolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its unconsolidated financial performance and its unconsolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethical Standards Board of Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Mexico, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries
The key audit matter    How the matter was addressed in our audit

As discussed in note 14 to the separate financial statements, the balance of equity accounted investees as of December 31, 2025 is $ 357,346 which represented 81% of the total assets of the Company at such date and which is substantially comprised of the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries. 

 

We identified the valuation of the carrying amount of the Company’s investments in its subsidiaries as a key audit matter due to the judgment involved in the determination of whether an impairment triggering event has occurred.

  

Our audit procedures in this area included, among others: 

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and issued our audit opinion thereon on February 16, 2026. When performing the audit of the consolidated financial statements we evaluated the analysis of goodwill impairment of the subsidiaries of the Company where we identified a higher risk. We used such analysis to assess if there are triggering events that could be indicative of impairment in the Company’s investments in its subsidiaries, and if the conclusions of the Company in this regard are appropriate.

Emphasis of Matter

As described in note 2, the accompanying separate financial statements have been prepared to be used by the Management of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. as well as to comply with certain legal and tax requirements. The financial information therein does not include the consolidation of the financial statements of its subsidiaries, which have been accounted for under the equity method. In assessing the financial situation and results of the economic entity, we must refer to the consolidated financial statements of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C. V. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, which were issued separately on February 16, 2026 in accordance with IFRS. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. ‘Reasonable assurance’ is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

   

Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

LOGO

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Basis of presentation and disclosure – Income Statements – continued

 

Income Statements

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. presents the line item “Operating earnings before other income (expenses), net” as a relevant subtotal for determining “Operating EBITDA” (Operating earnings before other income (expenses), net plus depreciation and amortization) which is calculated as operating earnings before other income (expenses), net, plus depreciation and amortization. This subtotal facilitates reconciliation between IFRS financial statements and the non-IFRS measure of Operating EBITDA. “Other income (expenses), net” primarily includes revenues and expenses not directly related to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s core activities or that are non-recurring, such as impairment losses on long-lived assets, results from assets disposal, and restructuring costs, among others (note 7). Under IFRS, the use of subtotals such as “Operating earnings before other income (expenses), net” and the presentation of the Income Statement can vary significantly by industry and companies according to specific needs and requirements.

However, Cemex’s chief executive officer uses Operating EBITDA to assess operating performance, profitability and resource allocation. Moreover, most of Parent Company’s creditors also use this measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to fund capital expenditures, to service or incur debt and to meet financial covenants.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. presents consolidated Operating EBITDA in note 18.1, which may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Standard

  

Main topic

Amendments to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability

  

The amendments require entities to consistently assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency. If not, entities must determine the appropriate exchange rate and provide the related disclosures.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

3.1)

USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS

Preparing financial statements under IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent items. These assumptions are reviewed regularly based on available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates in future years. Main items subject to significant estimates and assumptions include lease accounting, impairment testing of long-lived assets, recognition of deferred income tax balances, fair value measurement of financial instruments, employee benefits assets and liabilities, and the analyses of contingent liabilities.

 

3.2)

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the statement of financial position date. Resulting foreign exchange fluctuations are recognized in Income Statement, except for those arising from: 1) foreign currency debt related to the acquisition of foreign entities; and 2) balances with related parties’ in foreign currency that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future and are permanent investment. These specific exchange fluctuations are recorded in “Other equity reserves,” as part of the foreign currency translation adjustment (note 3.10) until the foreign net investment is disposed of. At that time, the accumulated amount in equity is recognized in the Income Statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, are prepared in their functional currency and, translated to U.S. Dollars and then to Pesos. The statement of financial position uses the closing exchange rates, while Income Statement uses the monthly closing rates for the period. The functional currency is the currency in which each entity primarily generates and expenses cash. Translation effects are included in “Other equity reserves” and presented in the statement of other comprehensive income as part of the foreign currency translation adjustment until the net investment in the foreign subsidiary is disposed of (note 3.10).

For functional currency purposes, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is considered to have two divisions. The financial and holding activities use, the Dollar as the functional currency for all related assets, liabilities and transactions. The Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s operating activities in Mexico use, the Peso as the functional currency for all related assets, liabilities and transactions associated with these activities. The most significant closing exchange rates for the statement of financial position and the approximate average exchange rates (as determined using the closing exchange rates of each month within the period) for the statement of income with respect to the primary functional currencies to the Peso as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Classification and measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets are classified as “Held to collect” and measured at amortized cost whether that meet both of the following conditions and are not designated at fair value through profit or loss: a) they are held within a business model focused on collecting contractual cash flows, and b) their contractual terms result in cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest. Amortized cost is the net present value of the consideration receivable at the transaction date. This classification includes the following categories:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents (note 9).

 

   

Trade accounts receivable, other current accounts receivable and other current assets (notes 10, 11 and 13). Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. initially recognizes these short-term assets at the original transaction amount, less expected credit losses.

 

   

Trade accounts receivable sold under securitization programs, where Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. retains a residual interest or continued involvement in the assets in case of recovery failure, do not qualify for derecognition and remain on the statement of financial position (notes 10 and 18.2).

 

   

Investments and non-current accounts receivable (note 15). Subsequent changes in amortized cost are recognized in Income Statement under “Financial income and other items, net.”

Certain strategic investments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income within “Other equity reserves” (notes 15 and 3.10). Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. does not hold financial assets classified as “Held to collect and sell” where the business model is to collect contractual cash flows and subsequently sell the assets.

Financial assets not classified as “Held to collect” or lacking strategic characteristics are measured at fair value through Income Statement under “Financial income and other items, net,” (notes 8 and 15).

Debt instruments and other financial obligations are classified as “Loans” and measured at amortized cost (notes 18.1 and 18.2). Financial expenses reflect the interest on the Parent Company debt instruments, measured using the effective interest rate. Accrued interest is recognized in “Other current liabilities” against financial expense. During the reporting periods, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. did not have any financial liabilities voluntarily recognized at fair value or associated with fair value hedging strategies using derivative financial instruments.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at estimated fair value, Changes in fair values are recognized in the Income Statement under “Financial income and other items, net” for the period in which they occur, except for hedging instruments as described below (notes 8 and 18.4).

Hedging instruments (note 18.4)

A hedging relationship is established to the extent the entity considers, based on the analysis of the overall characteristics of the hedging and hedged items, that the hedge will be highly effective in the future and the hedge relationship at inception is aligned with the entity’s reported risk management strategy (note 18.5). The accounting categories of hedging instruments are: a) cash flow hedge, b) fair value hedge of an asset or forecasted transaction, and c) hedge of a net investment in a subsidiary.

In cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in stockholders’ equity within other equity reserves and are reclassified to earnings as the interest expense of the related debt is accrued, in the case of interest rate swaps, or when the underlying products are consumed in the case of contracts on the price of raw materials and commodities. In hedges of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries, changes in fair value are recognized in stockholders’ equity as part of the foreign currency translation gains and losses within other equity reserves (note 18.4), whose reversal to earnings would take place upon disposal of the foreign investment. Derivative instruments are negotiated with institutions with significant financial capacity; therefore, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. believes the risk of non-performance of the obligations agreed to by such counterparties to be minimal.

Financial instruments –continued

 

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment losses of financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, are recognized using the Expected Credit Loss model (“ECL”) for the entire lifetime of such financial assets on initial recognition, and at each subsequent reporting period, even in the absence of a credit event or if a loss has not yet been incurred, considering for their measurement past events and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability. For purposes of the ECL model of trade accounts receivable, on a country-by-country basis, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. segments its accounts receivable by type of client, homogeneous credit risk and days past due and determines for each segment an average rate of ECL, considering actual credit loss experience generally over the last 12 months and analyses of future delinquency, which is applied to the balance of the accounts receivable. The average ECL rate increases in each segment of days past due until the rate is 100% for the segment of 365 days or more past due.

Costs incurred in the issuance of debt or borrowings.

Direct costs related to debt issuances or borrowings, or debt refinancing and modifications that do not result in debt extinguishment are added to the carrying amount of the debt and amortized as financial expense over the instrument’s term using the effective interest rate. These costs include commissions and professional fees. Costs incurred in the extinguishment of debt, as well as debt refinancing or modifications to debt agreements, when the new instrument is substantially different from the old instrument according to a qualitative and quantitative analysis, are recognized in the statement of income as incurred.

Leases (notes 16.2, 18.2 and 3.5)

At contract inception, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. evaluates whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is considered a lease if it grants the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Leases are recognized as financial liabilities and corresponding right-of-use, measured at their commencement date as the net present value of future fixed payments. The interest rate used is either the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if unavailable Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s incremental borrowing rate. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. determines this rate by referencing external financing sources and adjusting for the lease term, asset type, and economic environment.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. does not separate the non-lease components from the lease component within the same contract. Lease payments used to measure lease liability include fixed contractual rental payments, less incentives, fixed payments for non-lease components and the value of a purchase option if it is highly probable to be exercised or is considered a bargain. Interest on financial obligations related to lease contracts is recognized as “Financial expense” in the Income Statement.

At the commencement date or upon modification of a contract with lease component, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. allocates the consideration in the contract based on its relative stand-alone prices. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. applies the recognition exception for lease with terms of 12 months or less and for contracts involving low-value assets, recognizing lease payment for these leases as rental expense in the Income Statement over the lease term.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method as payments are incurred. It is remeasured if: a) future lease payments change due to an index or rate adjustments, b) the expected amount payable under a residual guarantee changes, c) the Parent Company changes its assessment regarding the exercise of a purchase, extension or termination option, or d) if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted. If the asset has been reduced to zero, the adjustment is recognized within “Financial income and other items, net.”

Embedded derivative financial instruments.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. reviews its contracts to identify embedded derivatives. Identified embedded derivatives are analyzed to determine if they need to be separated from the host contract and recognized in the statement of financial position as assets or liabilities, applying the same valuation rules used for other derivative instruments.

3.4)

EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTEES (note 14)

Investments in controlled entities and in entities over which Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. exercises significant influence, which are not classified as available for sale, are measured using the equity method.

 

3.5)

PROPERTY, MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT AND RIGHT OF USE (note 16)

Property, machinery and equipment are recognized at their acquisition or construction cost, as applicable, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation of property, machinery and equipment is recognized as part of cost and operating expenses (notes 5 and 6) and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for mineral reserves, which are depleted using the units-of-production method. Periodic maintenance of fixed assets is expensed as incurred. Advances to suppliers of fixed assets are presented as part of other non-current accounts receivable.

Assets for the right-of-use related to leases are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle, remove or restore the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. Asset for the right-of-use are generally depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. Asset for the right-of-use may be reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. capitalizes, as part of the related cost of fixed assets, interest expense from existing debt during the construction or installation period of qualifying fixed assets, considering Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s corporate average interest rate and the average balance of investments in process for the period.

 

3.6)

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS (notes 14, 15 and 16)

Property, machinery and equipment, assets for the right-of-use and other investments

Assets are evaluated for impairment when internal or external indicators arise. Impairment losses, representing the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, are recorded in “Other expenses, net.” Recoverable amounts are based on the net present value of projected future cash flows over the asset’s useful life or, when available, the asset’s fair value.

Equity accounted investees

Equity accounted investees are tested for impairment when required due to significant adverse changes, by determining the recoverable amount of such investment, which consists of the higher of the investment in subsidiaries and associates’ fair value, less cost to sell and value in use, represented by the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows to be generated to which those net assets relate. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. initially determines its discounted cash flows over periods of 5 to 10 years, depending on the economic cycle. If the value in use of the equity accounted investees is lower than its corresponding carrying amount, the Parent Company determines the fair value of its investment using methodologies generally accepted in the market to determine the value of entities, such as multiples of Operating EBITDA and by reference to other market transactions. An impairment loss is recognized within “Other income (expenses), net,” if the recoverable amount is lower than the net book value of the investment.

 

3.7)

PROVISIONS (note 18)

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. recognizes provisions for legal or constructive obligations arising from past events, that require cash outflows, or the transfer of the Parent Company resources. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, significant proceedings contributing to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s current and non-current liabilities and provisions are described in note 25.

Contingent obligations or losses are disclosed qualitatively in the financial statements notes. Long-term commitments with third parties, such as supply contracts are recognized on an incurred or accrued basis, reflecting the substance of the agreements. Relevant commitments are disclosed in the notes.

3.8)

PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (note 20) Defined contribution pension plans

The costs of defined contribution pension plans are recognized in the operating results as they are incurred. Liabilities arising from such plans are settled through cash transfers to the employees’ retirement accounts, without generating future obligations.

Defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefits

Costs related to defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefits, including health care, life insurance and seniority premiums, are recognized as employees render service. These costs are determined using actuarial estimations of the present value of benefits, based on advice from external actuaries. For certain pension plans, Cemex, S.A.B de C.V. has established irrevocable trust funds to cover future benefit payments, referred to as plan assets. Plan assets are measured at fair value as of the statement of financial position date. All actuarial gains and losses for the period, including differences between projected and actual assumptions and between expected and actual returns on plan assets, are recognized as part of “Other items of comprehensive income, net” within stockholders’ equity.

Service cost, reflecting the increase in obligations for additional employee benefits earned during the period, is recognized as operating cost and expense. Net interest cost, arising from changes in obligations due to net present value adjustments and changes in the estimated fair value of plan assets, is recognized in “Financial income and other items, net.”

Termination benefits

Termination benefits, not associated with a restructuring event, which mainly represent severance payments by law, are recognized in the operating results for the period in which they are incurred. In the event of restructuring, the expenses are recognized within “Other income (expenses), net.”

 

3.9)

INCOME TAXES (note 21)

The income taxes reflected in the statement of operations include the amounts incurred during the period and the amounts of deferred income taxes, determined according to the income tax law applicable, reflecting any uncertainty in income tax treatments, and represent the addition of the amounts determined by applying the enacted statutory income tax rate at the end of the reporting period. According to IFRS, all items charged or credited directly in stockholders’ equity or as part of other comprehensive income or loss for the period are recognized net of their current and deferred income tax effects. The effect of a change in enacted statutory tax rates is recognized in the period in which the change is officially enacted.

Deferred income taxes

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are derecognized when it is not deemed probable that the related tax benefit will be realized, considering the aggregate amount of self-determined tax loss carryforwards that Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. believes will not be rejected by the tax authorities based on available evidence and the likelihood of recovering them prior to their expiration through an analysis of estimated future taxable income. To determine whether it is probable that deferred tax assets will ultimately be recovered, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. takes into consideration all available positive and negative evidence, including factors such as market conditions, industry analysis, expansion plans, projected taxable income, carryforward periods, current tax structure, potential changes or adjustments in tax structure, tax planning strategies, and future reversals of existing temporary differences.

Uncertain tax positions

The income tax effects of uncertain tax position are recognized when it is probable that the position will be sustained based on its technical merits and assuming that the tax authorities will examine each position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. For each position Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. considers individually its probability, regardless of its relationship to any other broader tax settlement. The probability threshold represents management’s positive assertion that Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is considered not probable to be sustained, no benefits of the position are recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as part of the income tax in the statement of income.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, balances include accounts receivable of $2,380 and $2,325, respectively, sold under outstanding securitization programs established in Mexico, in which Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V., effectively does not surrender full control or the majority of risks and rewards associated with the trade accounts receivable sold. Therefore, the receivables sold were not removed from the statement of financial position and the amounts funded to the Parent Company of $1,782, in both years, were recognized within the line item “Other financial obligations” (note 18.2). The discount granted to the acquirers of the trade receivables is recorded as a financial expense and amounted to $197 in 2025, $240 in 2024 and $256 in 2023 (note 18.2). These securitization and factoring programs mentioned above are usually negotiated for periods of one to two years and are usually renewed at their maturity.

Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined and recognized upon origination of the trade accounts receivable based on an Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) model. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the ECL expense on accounts receivable was $16, $43 and $1, respectively, charged to the Income Statements as part of operating expense. Under this ECL model, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. segments its accounts receivable in a matrix by type of client or homogeneous credit risk and days past due and determines for each segment an average rate of ECL, considering actual credit loss experience over the last 24 months and analyses of future delinquency, which is applied to the balance of the accounts receivable. Changes in the ECL allowance in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued using the lower cost or net realizable value. The weighted average cost of inventories includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Inventory balances are subject to impairment. When an impairment situation arises, the inventory balance is adjusted to its net realizable value against “Cost of sales.” Advances to suppliers of inventory are presented as part of other current assets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances of inventories were summarized as follows:

 

     2025      2024

Sustainability-linked financing framework

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s debt totaled $99,481 and $109,835, respectively. Of these amounts, $44,745 in 2025 and $47,624 in 2024 were denominated in Dollars, Euros and Pesos under the 2023 Sustainability-linked Financing Framework (the “2023 SLFF”). This debt supports Cemex’s CO2 emissions reduction strategy and contribute to a carbon-neutral economy.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $33,192 and $36,057, respectively, of the debt under the 2023 SLFF were from bank loans, including the 2023 Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Euro Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the Peso Bilateral Term Loan (as defined below) (collectively, the “Bank Credit Agreements”). Under these agreements, annual performance against the 2023 SLFF metrics may adjust the interest rate margin by up to plus or minus 5 basis points (“bps”), consistent with other sustainability-linked facilities for investment-grade rated borrowers.

The remainder of the debt balance under the 2023 SLFF relates to the 2023 CEBURES. Of this, $3,000 in variable rate debt is linked to a single 2023 SLFF metric and may increase by 20 bps in nominal value at redemption. The remaining $8,552 in fixed rate debt is also tied to one metric and may result in a 25 bps annual increase to the interest rate for the last four semi-annual coupon payments. Additionally, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s securitization programs are linked to the 2023 SLFF. Depending on performance against one or more metrics, these programs may incur an annual fee of up to 5 bps of the total facility amount. The 2023 SLFF is also linked to the RCF presented in the lines of credit table above for US$2,352. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s entire RCF remain available.

2023 Credit Agreement and 2021 Credit Agreement

On October 30, 2023, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. refinanced its 2021 Credit Agreement, entering into the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Financial Covenants

Under the Bank Credit Agreements, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. must maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75 times and a minimum Consolidated Coverage Ratio of 2.75 times, measured at the end of each quarter for each rolling four-quarter period.

Consolidated Leverage Ratio

 

   

Under the Bank Credit Agreements, the ratio is calculated by dividing “Consolidated Net Debt” by “Consolidated EBITDA” for the last twelve months as of the calculation date. Consolidated Net Debt is defined as debt, reported in the statement of financial position, less cash and cash equivalents. It excludes existing or future obligations under any securitization program, and any subordinated notes of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V., It is also, adjusted for net mark-to-market of all derivative instruments, as applicable, and other adjustments related to business acquisitions or disposals.

Consolidated EBITDA: Under the Bank Credit Agreements, Operating EBITDA for the last twelve months as of the calculation date is, as adjusted for any discontinued EBITDA. This adjustment is used solely to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis for any material disposition or acquisition.

Consolidated Coverage Ratio

 

   

Under the Bank Credit Agreements, this ratio equals Consolidated EBITDA divided by financial expense for the previous twelve months as of the calculation date.

As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, under the Bank Credit Agreements, as applicable, the main consolidated financial ratios were as follows:

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. will reclassify all non-current debt as current if it fails to meet its covenants, causing a default, including if the financial ratios are not met, or if a cross-default clause is triggered. However, it will not reclassify non-current debt if it anticipates compliance with financial ratios, provided there are amendments or waivers for the next 12 months, a high likelihood of curing any violations during a remediation period, or a long-term refinancing agreement.

18.3) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Under IFRS, fair value is defined as the “Exit Value,” or the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, taking into account the counterparty’s credit risk. This concept assumes the presence of a market and market participants for the asset or liability. If no market or participants exist, IFRS applies a fair value hierarchy. Level 1 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical items; Level 2 uses observable inputs other than quoted prices, typically for assets not actively traded; Level 3 relies on significant unobservable inputs.

Financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts of current financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values because of their short-term, revolving nature.

The estimated fair value of non-current debt is classified as level 1 and level 2. It is determined either by using estimated market prices for similar instruments, considering current interest rates available to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. for debt with similar maturities, or by discounting future cash flows using market-based interest rates.

The fair values determined by Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. for its derivative financial instruments are level 2. There is no direct measure for the risk of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. or its counterparties in connection with such instruments. Therefore, the risk factors applied for Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s assets and liabilities originated by the valuation of such derivatives were extrapolated from publicly available risk discounts for other public debt instruments of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. or its counterparties.

The estimated fair value of derivative instruments fluctuates over time and is determined by measuring the effect of future relevant economic variables according to the yield curves shown in the market as of the reporting date. These values should be analyzed in relation to the fair values of the underlying transactions and as part of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The notional amounts of derivative instruments do not represent amounts of cash exchanged by the parties, and consequently, there is no direct measure of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s exposure to the use of these derivatives. The amounts exchanged are determined based on the notional amounts and other terms included in the derivative instruments.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amounts of non-current financial assets and liabilities and their respective fair values were as follows:

18.5) RISK MANAGEMENT

Enterprise risks may arise from any of the following situations: i) the potential change in the value of assets owned or reasonably anticipated to be owned, ii) the potential change in value of liabilities incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, iii) the potential change in value of services provided, purchase or reasonably anticipated to be provided or purchased in the ordinary course of business, iv) the potential change in the value of assets, services, inputs, products or commodities owned, produced, manufactured, processed, merchandised, leased or sell or reasonably anticipated to be owned, produced, manufactured, processed, merchandised, leased or sold in the ordinary course of business, or v) any potential change in the value arising from interest rate or foreign exchange rate exposures arising from current or anticipated assets or liabilities.

In the ordinary course of business, the Parent Company is exposed to commodities risk, including the exposure from inputs such as fuel, coal, petroleum coke, carbon slags, gypsum and other industrial materials which are commonly used in the production process, and expose Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. to variations in prices of the underlying commodities. To manage this and other risks, such as credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, equity risk and liquidity risk, considering the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors, which represent Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s risk management framework and that are supervised by several Committees, the Parent Company’s management establishes specific policies that determine strategies oriented to obtain natural hedges to the extent possible, such as avoiding customer concentration in a determined market or aligning the currencies portfolio in which Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. incurred its debt with those in which cash flows are generated.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, these strategies are sometimes complemented with the use of derivative financial instruments as mentioned in note 18.4, such as the commodity forward contracts on fuels negotiated to fix the price of these underlying commodities.

The main risk categories are mentioned below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of economic loss faced by the Parent Company if a customer or counterpart of a financial instrument does not meet its contractual obligations and originates mainly from trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the balance of financial assets. Management has developed policies for the authorization of credit to customers. The accounting exposure to credit risk is monitored constantly according to the payment behavior of the debtors. Credit is assigned on a customer-by-customer basis and is subject to assessments which consider the customers’ payment capacity, as well as past behavior regarding due dates, balances past due and delinquent accounts. In cases deemed necessary, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s management requires guarantees from its customers and financial counterparties regarding financial assets.

Risk management – continued

 

The Parent Company’s management has established a policy of low risk tolerance that analyzes the creditworthiness of each client individually before offering the general conditions of payment terms and delivery. The review includes external ratings when references are available and in some cases bank references. Thresholds of purchase limits are established for each client, which represent the maximum purchase amounts that require various levels of approval. As of December 31, 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. estimated potential expected losses under the ECL model (note 10) at $250.

The aging of trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

 

     2025  

Neither past due, nor impaired portfolio

   $ 4,884  

Past due less than 90 days portfolio

     190  

Past due more than 90 days portfolio

     335  
  

 

 

 
   $ 5,409  
  

 

 

 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates, which only affect Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s results if the fixed rate non-current debt is measured at fair value. The Parent Company’s fixed-rate non-current debt is carried at amortized cost and therefore is not subject to interest rate risk. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its non-current debt obligations with floating interest rates which, if such rates were to increase, may adversely affect its financing cost and the results for the period.

Additionally, there is an opportunity cost for continuing to pay a determined fixed interest rate when the market rates have decreased, and the entity may obtain improved interest rate conditions in a new loan or debt issuance. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and floating rates while attempting to reduce its interest costs. The Parent Company could renegotiate the conditions or repurchase the debt, particularly when the net present value of the estimated future benefits from the interest rate reduction is expected to exceed the cost and commissions that would have to be paid in such renegotiation or repurchase of debt. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 19% and 24%, respectively, of the non-current debt was denominated in floating interest rates at a weighted average interest rate of SOFR plus 98 basis points in 2025 and 2024, respectively. These figures reflect the effect of interest rate swaps held by the Parent Company during 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025, if interest rates at that date had been 0.5% higher, with all other variables held constant, the net income of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. in 2025 would have decreased by $186 (US$10), because of higher interest expense on variable rate denominated debt. Conversely, a hypothetical 0.5% decrease in interest rates would have the opposite effect. This analysis does not include the effect of interest rate swaps held by Cemex.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the potential for changes in exchange rates to affect the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is primarily exposed to this risk through its financing activities. As of December 31, 2025, 64% of the financial debt was Dollar-denominated, 18% was Euro-denominated and 18% was Peso-denominated; therefore, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has a foreign currency exposure arising from the Dollar-denominated financial debt and the Euro-denominated financial debt, versus the currency in which Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s revenues are settled. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. cannot assure that it will generate revenues in Pesos sufficient to settle its obligations in Dollars and Euro.

The Parent Company’s functional currency for its financial and holding activities is the Dollar (note 3.3). Foreign currency risk arises when translating subsidiaries’ net assets from other currencies into Dollars. If the Dollar appreciates, the value of these assets decreases in Dollar terms, resulting in negative foreign currency translation and a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. uses Dollar/Peso foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the translation of net assets denominated in Pesos (note 18.4).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. may not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations. To address its liquidity needs for operations, debt service and capital expenditures and acquisitions, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. relies on operating cash flow, cost-cutting measures, capacity optimization, credit facilities, debt and equity offerings, and asset sales. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is also exposed to risks from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, prices, currency controls, interest rates, inflation, governmental spending, social instability, and other political or economic developments. Any of these factors may significantly impact Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s results and reduce cash from operations. The maturities and the details of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s contractual obligations are included in note 24.2.

As of December 31, 2025, current liabilities, including $80,577 in current accounts payable to related parties, exceeded current assets by $97,311. Management has adopted an operating strategy that maintains a negative working capital balance. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. generated cash flows provided by operating activities of $21,184. Management considers that it will generate sufficient cash flows from operations over the next twelve months to meet its current obligations, considering that its consolidated subsidiaries also have significant current assets that can be obtained by Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. if required. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has a committed line of credit under the RFC for US$2,352 ($42,360).

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the potential requirement for additional margin calls under our different commitments is not significant.

As of December 31, 2025, in connection with the aggregate balance of current liabilities with related parties of $80,577, which refer primarily to Cemex Innovation Holding Ltd, Cemex Operaciones Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Cemex Transporte, S.A. de C.V. and Cemex Concretos, S.A. de C.V. (note 19.1), Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has proven successful in refinancing such liabilities considering that it exercises control over its subsidiaries.

In 2025, restructuring events affected certain employees’ pension and other post-employment benefits, reducing the related obligation. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. recognized a gain of $244 in the comprehensive income (loss) statement.

In 2024, the gain of $21 in financial assumptions was mainly driven by an increase in the discount rate applicable to the calculation of the benefits’ obligations, partially offset by actuarial losses due to experience adjustments of $7. In 2023, net actuarial gains due to experience adjustments of $26, partially offset by actuarial losses due to demographic variables of $13, mainly due to the update of the mortality table.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. does not recognize a deferred income tax liability for its investments in subsidiaries because Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. controls the reversal of the related temporary differences, and management has determined that these differences are unlikely to reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. recognized an income tax gain within other comprehensive income of $5 in 2025 and of $180 in 2024, respectively, mainly related to the net investment hedge (note 18.4).

As of December 31, 2025, tax loss carryforwards amount to $4,599, all of which have been recognized. These carryforwards are expected to expire in 2035. There are no unrecognized tax loss or credit carryforwards.

RECONCILIATION OF EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were as follows:

 

     2025     2024      2023  

Net income before income tax

   $ 21,103       13,380        7,166

     6.0%       (27.1%)        53.7%  
  

 

 

   

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

1 

The average effective tax rate equals the net amount of income tax benefit or expense divided by net income before income taxes, as these line items are reported in the statement of operations.

The effects of inflation are recognized differently for tax purposes and for book purposes. This situation, which creates differences between book and tax bases, gives rise to permanent differences between the enacted tax rate and the effective rate shown in the statement of income of Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.

Subordinated notes

In June 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. issued US$1,000 of 7.200% subordinated notes (the “2025 Subordinated Notes”). After issuance costs, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. received $18,921. The Notes have no fixed maturity date and will be subordinated to all senior obligations, equal in right of payment to existing subordinated notes mentioned below.

In March 2023, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. issued US$1,000 of its 9.125% subordinated notes (the “2023 Subordinated Notes”). After issuance costs, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. received US$992. The 2023 Subordinated Notes were aligned with the Green Financing Framework (the “GFF”) and the net proceeds obtained in the issuance should be applied to finance, in whole or in part, one or more new or existing Eligible Green Projects (“EGPs”) under its GFF’s use-of-proceeds. EGPs include those related to pollution prevention and control, renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, sustainable water and wastewater management, and eco-efficient and/or circular economy adapted products, production technologies and processes. On April 10, 2025 the 2023 Subordinated Notes were redeemed at nominal value a premium of 1%, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the redemption date, for a total amount of $20,902 (US$1,028).

Stockholders’ equity – other equity reserves and subordinated notes – continued

 

In June 2021, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. issued one series of US$1,000 of its 5.125% subordinated notes (the “2021 Subordinated Notes”). After issuance costs, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. received US$994. The net proceeds obtained were used to repurchase in full the balance then outstanding of perpetual debentures issued by subsidiaries and the repayment of debt.

Under the 2025 Subordinated Notes and the 2021 Subordinated Notes (jointly the “Subordinated Notes”), which do not have a maturity or repayment date or mandatory redemption date, interest may be deferred indefinitely at the sole discretion of the Parent Company. In addition, the Subordinated Notes: (i) are not redeemable at the option of the holders of the Subordinated Notes (the “Noteholders”), (ii) do not have the benefit of standard debt covenants, and (iii) do not include an event of default relating to a payment or covenant default with respect to any indebtedness of Cemex. Moreover, the Parent Company is in control of the instances that may lead to the repayment of the Subordinated Notes, including the Parent Company repurchase option on the fifth anniversary of each issuance, specific redemption events as well as those under a reorganization event under the applicable laws. In the hypothetical event of liquidation of the Parent Company, the Noteholders would have a claim on any residual net assets available after all liabilities have been settled; therefore, the Noteholders have no guarantee of collecting the principal amounts of the Subordinated Notes or any deferred accrued interest, if any.

Based on the above characteristics of the Subordinated Notes, included in contractual terms that are considered to be substantive, and legal considerations, under IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”), Cemex concluded that the Subordinated Notes do not meet the definition of financial liability under IAS 32, and consequently are classified within controlling interest stockholders’ equity within Other equity reserves. The classification as equity of the Subordinated Notes can be summarized as follows:

 

   

As mentioned above, the Subordinated Notes do not meet the definition of financial liability under IAS 32 considering that they include no contractual obligation: (i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or (ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the issuer. This is because:

 

   

The Noteholders have agreed to the deferral of interest and principal, given that the Parent Company has the unilateral and unconditional right to perpetually defer the payment of principal and interest.

 

   

The Parent Company controls any payments to be made to the Noteholders, including in the event of bankruptcy under either the laws of Mexico (Ley de Concursos Mercantiles) or U.S. bankruptcy laws (Chapter 11); and

 

   

The Subordinated Notes contractually evidence a residual interest in the assets of the Parent Company after deducting all of its liabilities. The only requirement to settle the Notes would be in liquidation, which is akin to an equity instrument under IAS 32.

Coupon and premium on the Subordinated Notes were included within “Other equity reserves and subordinated notes” and amounted to $2,418 in 2025, $2,708 in 2024 and $2,228 in 2023.

EXECUTIVE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. offers long-term restricted share-based compensation programs to a broad group of executives. For eligible participants, stock-based compensation is a fixed percentage of annual compensation (the “Stock Bonus”). Until December 31, 2023, the Stock Bonus was paid in the Parent Company’s CPOs. Beginning January 1, 2024, it is paid in the Parent Company’s ADSs. This change in the compensation scheme did not affect employees. The number of shares awarded is determined on the award date based on the Stock Bonus amount and the stock market price at that time. Once set, the number of shares does not change with subsequent market price fluctuations.

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s long-term share-based compensation includes two programs. The Performance Plan for top management is based on internal and external performance metrics and vesting occurs at the end of three years periods in a single block. The Ordinary Plan, for key executives and performers, is based on four-year period. Shares under the Ordinary Plan are initially restricted and are released at an annual a rate of 25% over four-year period, provided the executive remains with the Company. If an executive leaves, unvested Ordinary Plan shares are generally forfeited. The Performance Plan may pay out between 0% and 200% of the target award at the end of three years, depending on performance. The fair value of Performance Plan awards is determined by using an option pricing model.

The compensation expense related to the Share-Based Compensation Programs described above, as determined considering the fair value of the awards at the date of grant in 2025, 2024 and 2023, was recognized in the operating results of each subsidiary where the executives render services against other equity reserves. In addition, the compensation expense related to the beneficiaries that render services directly in the Parent Company amounted to $713 in 2025, $539 in 2024 and $513 in 2023.

CONTINGENCIES FROM LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is involved in various legal proceedings, which have not required the recognition of accruals, considering that the probability of loss is less than probable or remote. In certain cases, a negative resolution may represent a decrease in future revenues, an increase in operating costs or a loss. Nonetheless, until all stages in the procedures are exhausted in each proceeding, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. cannot assure the achievement of a final favorable resolution.

As of December 31, 2025, the most significant events with a determinable potential loss, the disclosure of which would not impair the outcome of the relevant proceeding, were as follows:

 

 

In December 2016, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. received subpoenas from the SEC seeking information to determine whether there have been any violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act stemming from the Maceo Project. These subpoenas do not mean that the SEC has concluded that Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. or any of its affiliates violated the law. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has been cooperating with the SEC and intends to continue cooperating fully with the SEC. On March 12, 2018, the DOJ issued a grand jury subpoena to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. relating to its operations in Colombia and other jurisdictions. In 2020, the Company delivered all the information and documentation that had been requested and has not received any more requests since then. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. intends to cooperate fully with the SEC, the DOJ and any other investigatory entity. As of December 31, 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is unable to predict the duration, scope, or outcome of either the SEC investigation or the DOJ investigation, or any other investigation that may arise, or the potential sanctions which could be borne Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V., or if such sanctions, if any, would have a material adverse impact on Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position. However, given the time elapsed since the last information request and other relevant factors, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. believes these investigations are no longer being actively pursued by the SEC and DOJ.

 

 

In addition, as of December 31, 2025, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is involved in various legal proceedings of minor impact that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings involve: 1) product warranty claims; 2) claims for environmental damages; 3) indemnification claims relating to acquisitions or divestitures; 4) claims to revoke permits and/or concessions; and 5) other diverse civil, administrative, commercial and lawless actions. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. considers that in those instances in which obligations have been incurred, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has accrued adequate provisions to cover the related risks. Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. believes these matters will be resolved without any significant effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. In addition, in relation to certain ongoing legal proceedings, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. is sometimes able to make and disclose reasonable estimates of the expected loss or range of possible loss, as well as disclose any provision accrued for such loss, but for a limited number of ongoing legal proceedings, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. may not be able to make a reasonable estimate of the expected loss or range of possible loss or may be able to do so but believes that disclosure of such information on a case-by-case basis would seriously prejudice Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s position in the ongoing legal proceedings or in any related settlement discussions. Accordingly, in these cases, Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. has disclosed qualitative information with respect to the nature and characteristics of the contingency but has not disclosed the estimate of the range of potential loss.
