Strong Q1 beat with revenue and EBITDA well above prior year, supported by pricing power in Mexico and MEA and cost transformation benefits. The new $3B credit facility and Colombian divestiture signal continued deleveraging and balance sheet optimization. Monitor the USMCA review on July 1, 2026 and potential Section 301 tariffs on cement imports for downside risk to US operations.
