CEMEX announced it is making significant progress in its divestment initiative which is part of “A Stronger CEMEX”, a previously announced enhancement plan, by having closed or reached binding agreements for sales of approximately U.S.$750 million, which represents 50% of the low end of the December 2020 divestment target range.

CEMEX announced the “A Stronger CEMEX” plan in July 2018, which includes a U.S.$1.5 to U.S.$2 billion asset disposal target by the end of 2020. Since then, CEMEX has announced the divestment of assets in the Baltics and Nordics, the terminal in Manaus, Brazil, aggregates and ready-mix assets in Germany, the white cement business, including the Buñol cement plant in Spain, among other assets. The expected proceeds of these transactions represent a double digit multiple relative to 2018 EBITDA.
