Cemex SAB ( (CX) ) has issued an update.
On February 5, 2026, Cemex reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting the impact of its ongoing transformation plan. Adjusted Free Cash Flow from operations rose 50% for 2025 with a 46% conversion rate, while operating EBITDA inched up 1% for the year, supported by US$200 million in recurring savings from Project Cutting Edge and a strong second half that delivered 17% EBITDA growth. Although fourth-quarter net income was hit by goodwill and asset impairments, full-year net income increased 2%, and would have climbed 41% to US$1.5 billion absent those charges, with double‑digit growth in fourth-quarter sales and EBITDA driven by a recovery in Mexico, record fourth-quarter EBITDA in the U.S., and solid EMEA performance. Reflecting improved cash generation and confidence in the plan, Cemex’s board is proposing an annual dividend about 40% higher than last year and plans to activate a share repurchase program of up to US$500 million over three years, while the company also advanced its decarbonization agenda, cutting gross CO₂ emissions by 2% in 2025 and reaching the European cement industry’s 2030 emissions target five years early in its European operations.
