Cemex Sab De Cv is a global building materials company primarily engaged in the production, distribution, and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, with a significant presence in the construction industry.
In its second-quarter earnings report for 2025, Cemex Sab De Cv reported a decline in consolidated net sales by 4% compared to the same period last year, reaching $4.1 billion. Despite the challenging market conditions, the company managed to increase its controlling interest net income by 38% to $318 million.
Key financial metrics revealed a decrease in operating EBITDA by 9% to $823 million, attributed to a tough comparison base from the previous year and volume dynamics. The company’s operating EBITDA margin showed resilience, declining only slightly by 1.1 percentage points to 20.0%. Cemex’s total debt decreased by 8% to $6.9 billion, and the company reported a significant increase in cash and cash equivalents by 174% to $1.17 billion.
Regionally, Cemex experienced varied performance. The EMEA region showed strong growth with a 31% increase in operating EBITDA, driven by infrastructure and residential sector demand. In contrast, the Mexican and U.S. markets faced challenges, with declines in sales and operating EBITDA due to adverse weather conditions and sectoral weaknesses.
Looking ahead, Cemex remains focused on improving its operational efficiency and capitalizing on favorable market conditions in specific regions. The company anticipates better volume performance in Mexico in the second half of the year as government infrastructure projects accelerate, while continuing its efforts in decarbonization and cost management across its global operations.
