Consolidated Net Sales reached US$4.2 billion in 4Q25, a 4% increase from 4Q24 on a like-to-like basis, supported by positive performance in Mexico and EMEA.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 0.4pp to 67.4% in 4Q25 compared with the same period last year, driven by continued savings from Project Cutting Edge and a favorable energy environment.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased 0.6pp in 4Q25 to 21.7%, mainly benefiting from overhead savings under Project Cutting Edge.

Operating EBITDA reached US$781 million in 4Q25, increasing 9% on a like-to-like basis, reflecting cost efficiencies along with higher prices and better operational performance in Mexico in the second half of the year.

Operating EBITDA margin in 4Q25 increased 0.8pp to 18.7% year-on-year. Full year margin was stable, reflecting a significant expansion in the second half as cost efficiencies began to materialize. All regions reported relatively flat to improved Operating EBITDA margin in 2025.

Controlling interest net income in 4Q25 was impacted by a goodwill impairment and asset write-down, resulting in a loss of US$356 million. For the full year Controlling interest net income grew 2%.

In Mexico, results showcase continued cement volume recovery, alongside contributions from cost efficiency initiatives and pricing, with Operating EBITDA rising 20% on a like-to-like basis and Operating EBITDA margin expanding by 5pp in the quarter. For the first quarter since the Mexican election in mid-2024, we saw sales growth year over year.

Volume trend reflected sustained improvement in demand with average daily cement sales increasing by 8% on a sequential basis compared to 3Q25, outperforming historical seasonality patterns.

In 2025, prices for our three core products increased by mid-single digits.

As expected, public spending on social programs and infrastructure is beginning to gain momentum, albeit from a low base. Rural Road projects as well as other programs are showing early signs of increased activity, benefiting bagged cement volumes. We are also seeing an acceleration in the social housing program where the federal government has established a goal of building 1.8 million houses during this administration.

The United States reached a record fourth quarter Operating EBITDA with Operating EBITDA margin near record highs, underscoring the resilience of our business in challenging market conditions.

Performance in 4Q25 was driven by Project Cutting Edge, with higher kiln efficiency, along with the consolidation of Couch Aggregates.

Ready-mix and aggregates prices increased 1% and 4% in 2025, respectively, while cement prices declined by low single digits during the same period, reflecting competitive pressure in select markets.

Demand conditions continue to reflect strength in infrastructure with some bright spots in the industrial sector offset by continued softness in residential.

In our aggregates business, which accounts for close to 40% of Operating EBITDA in the U.S., volumes increased 10% in 4Q25, driven by investments coming online, including Couch Aggregates.

In the EMEA region, Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA margin in 2025 reached new records. Strong performance was driven by higher volumes and prices, alongside cost efficiencies under Project Cutting Edge.

Pro forma for several year-end adjustments, Operating EBITDA in EMEA grew by a double-digit rate, with Operating EBITDA margin expanding 1pp, supported by positive performance in both Europe and Middle East and Africa.

Demand conditions in EMEA continued with a positive trend, with cement and ready-mix volumes in the quarter growing by 7% and 3%, respectively, and by a mid-single digit rate for the year. In Europe, despite difficult weather conditions, we posted high single-digit growth in cement volume, primarily related to infrastructure projects in Eastern Europe, and sustained housing activity and infrastructure investment in Spain.

Full year cement and ready-mix prices in EMEA increased by low-single digits. Prices in Europe were stable sequentially in 4Q25 while full year price dynamics are explained by geographic mix and limited competitive pressure in specific markets.

Going forward, the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in continental Europe, along with the gradual phase-out of free EU ETS allowances this year, should be supportive of cement pricing in 2026 and beyond.

The South, Central America and the Caribbean region delivered Operating EBITDA growth for the third consecutive year, driven by pricing discipline and continued benefits from Project Cutting Edge. Fourth quarter Operating EBITDA performance reflects the impact of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, as well as increased maintenance in Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

In Colombia, cement volumes continued to recover, growing 7% in the quarter and 2% in 2025, driven by the informal sector with bagged cement benefiting from stabilizing macroeconomic conditions.

Jamaica posted record Operating EBITDA in 2025 with cement volumes growing by 7%. Demand has been mainly driven by the tourism sector and self-construction. The completion of the kiln debottlenecking project in third quarter 2025 is allowing us to profitably substitute lower margin imports with local production.

Sequential prices for cement and ready-mix in 4Q25 are relatively stable with variation largely due to geographic mix.

We remain optimistic about the medium-term outlook for the region, where improved consumer sentiment and formal construction are expected to drive demand.

As of December 31, 2024, based on our latest 20-F Annual Report, the number of outstanding CPO-equivalents was 14,487,786,971. See Cemex’s reports furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information, if any, regarding repurchases of securities and other developments that may have caused a change in the number of CPO-equivalents outstanding after December 31, 2024. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, no CPOs were repurchased by Cemex under its share repurchase program approved at Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V.’s ordinary annual shareholders meeting held on March 25, 2025.

One Cemex ADS represents ten Cemex CPOs. One Cemex CPO represents two Series A shares and one Series B share.

For purposes of this report, outstanding CPO-equivalents equal the total number of Series A and B shares outstanding as if they were all held in CPO form, less CPOs held by Cemex and its subsidiaries, which as of December 31, 2024, were 20,541,277. Starting 2024, employees receive restricted ADRs instead of restricted CPOs. Restricted ADRs allocated to eligible employees as variable compensation are not included in the outstanding CPO-equivalents.

1)

The exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures arising from net investments in foreign operations.

2)

As of December 31, 2025, these instruments are related to bank loans, including interest rate swap derivatives with a notional amount of US$705 million, and interest rate and exchange rate swap derivatives with a notional amount of US$1,198 million.

3)

Cemex’s derivative financial instruments portfolio includes swaps and financial options. These derivative instruments are mainly used to hedge the market price risk of certain fuels associated with certain Cemex operations, such as transportation and production. In addition, there are call spreads on Brent oil and derivatives thereof, designed to mitigate the exposure related to the implicit cost of fuel in distribution expenses.

Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize the fair value of all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for cash-flow-hedging purposes, in such cases, changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings as the effects of the underlying are recognized in the income statement. Moreover, in transactions related to net investment hedges, changes in fair market value are recorded directly in equity as part of the currency translation effect and are reclassified to the income statement only in the case of disposal of the net investment. As of December 31, 2025, in connection with the derivatives portfolio’s fair market value, Cemex recognized changes in fair market value resulting in a financial liability of US$90 million.

Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of results

Under IFRS, Cemex translates the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using exchange rates at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement.

Breakdown of regions and subregions

The South, Central America and the Caribbean region includes Cemex’s operations in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, Peru and Bahamas.

The EMEA region includes Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Europe subregion includes operations in Spain, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom.

Middle East and Africa subregion includes operations in United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Israel.

Definition of terms

Free cash flow from operations Cemex defines it as Operating EBITDA minus net interest paid, maintenance capital expenditures, maintenance lease payments, fixed asset sales, change in working capital, net taxes paid, and other cash expenditures.

l-t-l (like to like) on a like-to-like basis adjusting for currency fluctuations.

Maintenance capital expenditures equal investments incurred for the purpose of ensuring the company’s operational continuity. These include capital expenditures on projects required to replace obsolete assets or maintain current operational levels, and mandatory capital expenditures, which are projects required to comply with governmental regulations or company policies.

Net debt equals total debt (debt plus financial leases) minus cash and cash equivalents.

Sales, when referring to reportable segment sales, revenues are presented before eliminations of intragroup transactions. When referring to Consolidated Sales, these represent the total revenues (Net Sales) of the company as reported in the financial statements.

Operating EBITDA, or EBITDA equals operating earnings before other income and expenses, net, plus depreciation and amortization.

Operating EBITDA margin, or EBITDA margin, is calculated by dividing our “Operating EBITDA” by our sales.

pp equals percentage points.

Prices all reference to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to our prices for our products and services.

SG&A expenses equal selling and administrative expenses

Growth capital expenditures equal investments incurred with the purpose of increasing the company’s profitability. These include capital expenditures on projects designed to increase profitability by expanding capacity, and margin improvement capital expenditures, which are projects designed to increase profitability by reducing costs.

Investment in intangible assets equals investments and expenses incurred in the development of internal-use software, industrial property, and trademarks.

Working capital equals operating accounts receivable (including other current assets received as payment in kind) plus historical inventories minus operating payables.

% var percentage variation

Earnings per ADS

Please refer to page 2 for the number of average ADSs outstanding used for the calculation of earnings per ADS.

According to the IAS 33 Earnings per share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is determined considering the number of days during the accounting period in which the shares have been outstanding, including shares derived from corporate events that have modified the stockholder’s equity structure during the period, such as increases in the number of shares by a public offering and the distribution of shares from stock dividends or recapitalizations of retained earnings and the potential diluted shares (Stock options, Restricted Stock Options and Mandatory Convertible Shares). The shares issued because of share dividends, recapitalizations and potential diluted shares are considered as issued at the beginning of the period.

Many factors could cause Cemex’s expectations, expected results, and/or projections expressed in this report not being reached and/or not producing the expected benefits and/or results, as any such benefits or results are subject to uncertainties, costs, performance, and rate of success and/or implementation of technologies, some of which are not yet proven, among other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance and/or achievements may vary materially from historical results, performance, and/or achievements and/or results, performance and/or achievements expressly or implicitly anticipated by the forward-looking statements, or otherwise could have an impact on us. Forward-looking statements should not be considered guarantees of future performance, and past results or developments are not indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Actual results, performance and/or achievements of Cemex’s operations and the development of market conditions in which Cemex operates, or other circumstances that may materialize, may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in the information disclosed

in this report. Any or all of Cemex’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate and the factors identified above are not exhaustive. Accordingly, undue reliance on forward-looking statements should not be placed, as such forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates on which they are made. The forward-looking statements and the information contained in this report are made and stated as of the dates specified in this report and are subject to change without notice; and, except to the extent legally required, we expressly disclaim, any obligation or undertaking to update or correct the information contained in this report or revise any forward-looking statements in this report, whether to reflect new information, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated future events or circumstances, any change in our expectations regarding those forward-looking statements, any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, or otherwise. Readers should review future reports filed or furnished by us with the SEC, the CNBV and the BMV. Market data used in this report not attributed to a specific source are estimates of Cemex and have not been independently verified. Certain financial and statistical information contained in this report is subject to rounding adjustments; accordingly, any discrepancies between the totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Unless otherwise specified, all references to records are internal records of Cemex.

This report includes certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures that differ from financial information presented by Cemex in accordance with IFRS in its financial statements and reports containing financial information. The aforementioned non-IFRS financial measures include “Operating EBITDA” (operating earnings before other expenses, net plus depreciation and amortization) and “Operating EBITDA Margin”. The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBITDA is “Operating earnings before other expenses, net”, as Operating EBITDA adds depreciation and amortization to the IFRS financial measure. Our Operating EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing our Operating EBITDA for the period by our revenues as reported in our financial statements for the same period. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare Operating EBITDA Margin. These non-IFRS financial measures are designed to complement and should not be considered superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Although Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA Margin are not measures of operating performance, an alternative to cash flows or a measure of financial position under IFRS, Operating EBITDA is the financial measure used by Cemex’s management to review operating performance and profitability, for decision-making purposes and to allocate resources. Moreover, our Operating EBITDA is a measure used by Cemex’s creditors to review our ability to internally fund capital expenditures, service or incur debt and comply with financial covenants under our financing agreements. Furthermore, Cemex’s management regularly reviews our Operating EBITDA Margin by reportable segment and on a consolidated basis as a measure of performance and profitability. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The financial measures presented in the report are being provided for informative purposes only and shall not be construed as investment, financial, or other advice.

Also, this report includes statistical data regarding the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, clinker, aggregates, and Urbanization Solutions. Cemex generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that Cemex believes to be reliable sources. Cemex has not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organization to refer to their reports in this report. Cemex acts in strict compliance with antitrust laws and as such, among other measures, maintains an independent pricing policy that has been independently developed and its core element is to price Cemex’s products and services based upon their quality and characteristics as well as their value to Cemex’s customers. Cemex does not accept any communications or agreements of any type with competitors regarding the determination of Cemex’s prices for Cemex’s products and services. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to Cemex’s prices for Cemex’s products.

The information, statements, and opinions contained in this report are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation, an offer to sell, or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or financial instruments, or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities or other financial instruments. You should not construe any such information or other material as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice. Cemex is not responsible for any third-party information referenced.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) and Sustainability-Related Data, Metrics, and Methodologies

This report may include non-financial metrics, estimates, or other information related to ESG and sustainability matters that are subject to significant uncertainties, which may include the methodology, collection, and verification of data, various estimates, and assumptions, and/or underlying data that is obtained from third parties, some of which cannot be independently verified.

The preparation of certain information on ESG and sustainability matters that may be contained in the report requires the application of a number of key judgments, assumptions, and estimates. The reported measures reflect good faith estimates, assumptions, and judgments at the given point in time. There is a risk that these judgments, estimates, or assumptions may subsequently prove to be incorrect and/or, to the extent legally required, may need to be restated or changed. The disclosure of information on sustainability related matters is not yet subject to the same recognized or accepted reporting or accounting principles and rules as traditional financial information. Consequently, there are no commonly accepted reporting practices for us to follow, and ESG metrics among organizations in our industry may not be comparable. In addition, the underlying data, systems, and controls that support non-financial reporting are generally considerably less sophisticated than the systems and internal control for financial reporting and rely on manual processes. This may result in non-comparable information between organizations and/or between reporting periods within organizations as methodologies continue to develop and/or be socialized. The further development of or changes to accounting and/or reporting standards could materially impact the performance metrics, data points, and targets contained in the report, and the reader may not be able to compare non-financial information performance metrics, data points, or targets between reporting periods on a direct like-for-like basis.

Additionally, the information disclosed in this report may contain references to “green,” “social,” “sustainable,” or equivalent-labelled activities, products, assets, or projects. There is currently no single globally recognized or accepted, consistent, and comparable set of definitions or standards (legal, regulatory, or otherwise) of, nor widespread cross-market consensus i) as to what constitutes, a “green”, “social”, or “sustainable” or having equivalent-labelled activity, product, or asset; or ii) as to what precise attributes are required for a particular activity, product, or asset to be defined as “green”, “social”, or “sustainable” or such other equivalent label; or iii) as to climate and sustainable funding and financing activities and their classification and reporting. Therefore, there is little certainty, and no assurance or representation is given that our activities, products, or assets and/or reporting of such activities and/or reporting of those activities, products, or assets will meet any present or future expectations or requirements for describing or classifying such activities, products, or assets as “green”, “social”, or “sustainable” or attributing similar labels. We expect policies, regulatory requirements, standards, and definitions to be developed and continuously evolve over time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking ESG or Sustainability Statements

Certain sections in the report may contain ESG- or sustainability-related forward-looking statements, such as aims, ambitions, estimates, forecasts, plans, projections, targets, goals and other metrics, including but not limited to: climate and emissions, business and human rights, corporate governance, research and development and partnerships, development of products and services that intend to address sustainability-related concerns and sustainability related targets/ambitions when finalized, including the implementation of technologies and other initiatives that aim to reduce and/or capture CO2 emissions. These forward-looking statements may also include references to specific programs, such as our current “Future in Action” climate action program, as well as various ESG-related indicators, objectives or metrics disclosed previously or that may be disclosed in the future, none of which are guarantees and any and all of which may ultimately not be achieved or may be abandoned at any time, whether in part, in full, or within any specific timeframe. There are many significant uncertainties, assumptions, judgements, opinions, estimates, forecasts and statements made of future expectations underlying these forward-looking statements which could cause actual results, performance, outcomes or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, which include, but are not limited to: the extent and pace of climate change, including the timing and manifestation of physical and transition risks; the macroeconomic environment; uncertainty around future climate-related policy, including the timely implementation and integration of adequate government policies; the effectiveness of actions of governments, legislators, regulators, businesses, investors, customers, and other stakeholders to mitigate the impact of climate and sustainability-related risks;

changes in customer behavior and demand, changes in the available technology for mitigation and the effectiveness of any such technologies, as some of these new technologies may be unproven; excessive costs and expenses related to acquire and/or develop technology for mitigation; the roll-out of low carbon infrastructure; the availability and adoption of renewable energy in our value chain; the development of carbon capture, circular utilization, and sequestration technologies, including the adoption of cost-effective carbon-related technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage; the availability of accurate, verifiable, reliable, consistent, and comparable climate-related data; lack of transparency and comparability of climate-related forward-looking methodologies; variation in approaches and outcomes, as variations in methodologies may lead to under or overestimates and consequently present exaggerated indication of climate-related risk; and reliance on assumptions and future uncertainty. Calculations of forward-looking metrics are complex and require many methodological choices and assumptions.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, changing national and international standards, industry and scientific practices, regulatory requirements, and market expectations regarding climate change, which remain under continuous development, are subject to different interpretations.

There can be no assurance that these standards, practices, requirements, and expectations will not be interpreted differently than our understanding when defining sustainability-related ambitions and targets or change in a manner that substantially increases the cost or effort for us to achieve such ambitions and targets.
