“With the objective of accelerating our path to investment grade and enhancing total shareholder return, today we are announcing “A Stronger CEMEX”, a plan designed to reposition our portfolio toward higher growth. During the next 2.5 years, we will work to optimise our portfolio by focusing on markets with the greatest long-term growth potential and selling between US$1.5 and 2 billion of assets. We will also implement actions to achieve US$150 million in cost savings as an opportunity to continue improving our profitability. Furthermore, we will reduce our total debt by US$3.5 billion by the end of 2020, and we will return capital to our shareholders through an annual cash dividend starting with US$150 million in 2019.”
