Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Upcoming Events: Cemex will host a conference call and audio webcast on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time to discuss Q2 2025 results. Materials will be posted on the company website and filed with the SEC and Mexican regulators prior to the call.
Non-IFRS Measures: The upcoming presentation will include non-IFRS financial measures, specifically "Operating EBITDA" and "Operating EBITDA Margin," which management uses to review operating performance and allocate resources.
Risk Factors and Contingencies: The filing includes extensive forward-looking statement disclaimers and lists numerous risks that could cause actual results to differ from expectations, including:
- Economic, political, and social conditions, including inflation, interest rates, and foreign exchange volatility.
- Cyclical activity in the construction sector and reduced demand in end markets.
- Supply chain disruptions, raw material price fluctuations, and trade barriers (including tariffs and USMCA changes).
- Regulatory and environmental liabilities, including CO2 emissions compliance and climate change impacts.
- Geopolitical events, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, and security issues in Mexico.
- Operational risks including cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and labor shortages.
ESG and Sustainability: The filing cautions that ESG metrics and sustainability targets (e.g., the "Future in Action" program) are subject to significant uncertainties, evolving standards, and unproven technologies. There is no assurance that current definitions of "green" or "sustainable" activities will meet future regulatory requirements.
