basis points from 2020.
|
◾
|
Net income from continuing operations was Ps. 6,344 million, showing a decrease of 32.8% YoY, mainly due to the impact of a change in the

in environmental, social and governance matters.
|
◾
|
Net sales revenues decreased by 3.8% YoY to Ps. 19,257 million (US$ 187 million), mainly explained by a decrease in Cement sales, partially
