Cemex deliver third quarter 2025 financial results

Cemex announce its results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting strong EBITDA growth and continued progress in its transformation strategy. Net sales increased by 5% while consolidated EBITDA grew at a double-digit rate, supported by operational efficiencies and higher consolidated prices.

EBITDA margin expanded by 2.5 percentage points year-over-year, reaching its highest third-quarter level since 2020. The USand EMEA achieved record third-quarter margins, while Mexico and the South, Central America, and the Caribbean region posted multi-year EBITDA margin highs.

Cemex made significant headway in the rollout of Project Cutting Edge, capturing approximately US$90 million in EBITDA savings in the third quarter and expects to meet its full year goal of US$200 million in 2025.

“Six months ago, we set out to make Cemex a best-in-class operator and deliver superior shareholder returns,” said Jaime Muguiro, CEO of Cemex. “Our achievements in the quarter confirm that we are setting a strong foundation to position Cemex as a more focused, agile and high-performing company.”

Free cash flow from operations improved on higher EBITDA, lower interest expense, and reduced cash taxes. Free cash flow from Operations conversion rate reached 61% in the quarter.

Cemex also advanced on its portfolio rebalancing strategy by completing the divestment of its operations in Panama and acquiring a majority stake in Couch Aggregates, a leading aggregates producer in the southeastern United States, strengthening its position in a key growth market.

Cemex’s operations in Europe remain at the forefront of its decarbonisation efforts, already ahead of the European Cement Association’s 2030 CO₂ emissions target, on a per ton of cement equivalent basis, reflecting Cemex's climate action leadership.
