Cemex intends to raise USD1bn from asset sales by end of 2012

Mexico: Lorenzo Zambrano, the chairman and chief executive of Cemex, has announced that he expects the company to raise USD1bn from asset sales by the end of 2012. This is part of a continuing strategy to lower its debt, including USD180m in 2011.

In a webcast meeting with investors Zambrano said that the highly leveraged Cemex doesn't want to own assets that produce less than a 10% return on capital. "We will only sell assets that will improve our return on capital and help us to deliver our balance sheet," he stated.

Cemex's heavy debt load, USD18.4bn in total debt plus perpetual notes as of 30 June 2011, coupled with a slow recovery in key markets has contributed to investor pessimism that has knocked Cemex's share price down sharply. Zambrano added that Cemex hadn't anticipated the extent of the effects of the recession in the US, one of its largest markets along with Mexico, but that he expects Cemex's US operations to be profitable in 2012.
