Cemex reports second-quarter 2011 results

Mexico: Cemex has announced that its consolidated net sales increased by 9% during the second quarter of 2011 to approximately USD4.1bn compared to the same period in 2010. Operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 7% during the quarter to USD615m compared to the same period of 2010.

The group attributed the increase in consolidated net sales due to higher volumes mainly from operations in Northern Europe, South/Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean, with infrastructure and residential sectors acting as the main drivers of demand in most markets.

The group's free cash flow (after maintenance capital expenditures) for the quarter was USD18m, compared with USD187m in the same quarter of 2010. Its operating income in the second quarter declined by 12% to USD258m.

Fernando González, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, said, "This is the third consecutive quarter of top-line growth in our results. We are pleased with the quarterly performance of our operations in Northern Europe, the South, Central American and Caribbean region and Mexico, which helped mitigate the challenging conditions of the construction sector in the US. We also remain focused on our transformation process, which will reach a run rate of USD400m in recurring improvement in our steady state EBITDA by the end of 2012."

Net sales in Mexico increased by 5% in the second quarter of 2011 to USD968m, compared with USD923m in the second quarter of 2010. Operating EBITDA declined by 4% to USD309m versus the same period of 2010. Cemex's operations in the US reported net sales of USD619m, down by 9% from the same period in 2010. Operating EBITDA was a loss of USD22m.

In Northern Europe, net sales for the second quarter of 2011 increased by a massive 24% to USD1.35bn, compared with USD1.10bn in the second quarter of 2010. Operating EBITDA for the region was USD152m, 52% higher than in 2010. Second-quarter net sales in the Mediterranean region were flat at USD477m. Operating EBITDA decreased 15% to USD125m for the quarter versus the comparable period in 2010.

The group's operations in South/Central America and the Caribbean reported net sales of USD442m, an increase of 23% over the same period of 2010. Operating EBITDA decreased by 3% to USD125m in the second quarter of 2011, from USD128m in the second quarter of 2010.

Conversely, Asia saw a surprise decrease reporting a 9% decrease in net sales for the second quarter of 2011 to USD129m. Operating EBITDA for the quarter was USD22m, down a gigantic 45% from the same period of 2010.
