Cemex sales drop except in US , Asia

摘要

Cemex’s sales decreased 5pc year over year in the first quarter of 2013, with lower volumes in most regions other than the US and Asia. The Mexico-state-owned cement company’s first-quarter consolidated net sales fell to $3.3bn, 5pc below the year-ago period, as a result of fewer business days and lower volume in the northern Europe, Mexico, Mediterranean and South and Central America and Caribbean regions. The drop was partially offset by higher prices, in local currency terms, in most regions.
