Cemex reported strong EBITDA growth and continued progress in its transformation strategy for the third quarter of 2025.
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 U.S. and 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 $90 million in EBITDA savings in the third quarter and expects to meet its full-year goal of $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.”
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.
