Cemex reports record first quarter EBITDA,

with Net Income growth of 13%

Monterrey, Mexico. April 25, 2024 - Cemex reported record first quarter results today, with a 5% increase in EBITDA. Three of four regions, markets accounting for 90% of consolidated EBITDA, experienced a combined growth rate of 15%. EBITDA margin expanded by half a percentage point, driven by favorable price-cost dynamics. These strong results were further bolstered by growth investments and Urbanization Solutions, contributing to over 50% of incremental EBITDA in the quarter.

"Our first quarter in 2024 continued to build on an exceptional 2023," said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. "EBITDA represents a first quarter record for the company, despite fewer working days and difficult weather conditions in many markets. Our pricing strategy effectively outpaced input cost inflation, while our growth investments and Urbanization Solutions business were instrumental in driving EBITDA growth in the quarter".
