CEMEX LATAM HOLDINGS REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
| Free cash flow during the quarter reached US$17 million, 3% higher on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, we received about US$31 million during the third quarter related to the gross proceeds from the sale of our cement-distribution business in Manaus, Brazil. |
| Our net debt declined US$71 million during the first-nine months of the year, reaching US$811 million. |
BOGOTA, COLOMBIA. OCTOBER 25, 2018 CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (CLH) (BVC: CLH), announced today that consolidated net sales reached US$277 million during the third quarter of 2018, a decline of 8% compared to those of the same period of 2017. Operating EBITDA reached US$60 million during the third quarter, 17% lower on a year-over-year basis.
During the third quarter of 2018, our consolidated domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 7%, 9% and 8%, respectively, compared to those in the third quarter of 2017. Our consolidated prices in US-dollar terms for domestic gray cement increased by 2%, while for ready-mix and aggregates decreased by 3% and 2%, respectively, during the quarter on a year over year basis.
Jaime Muguiro, CEO of CLH, said, Our results during the quarter were mainly affected by a weak demand environment in Panama and Nicaragua. In the case of Panama, industry demand continued decreasing by double digits after the strike on a year-over-year basis, while in Nicaragua demand maintained the low levels observed during the second quarter.
On the other hand, we are encouraged by our results in Colombia with double-digit EBITDA growth and with a 3.5-percentage-point margin expansion. Although it is still early to confirm an inflection point in the countrys cement demand, we are glad to observe cement demand stabilization on a year-over-year basis, and an acceleration on a sequential basis, during the quarter
Jaime Muguiro added, We are very pleased with our free cash flow generation and with the successful closure of the divestment of our business in Manaus, Brazil. Free cash flow plus proceeds from this divestment were mainly used to reduce debt during the quarter. Net debt decreased by 45 million dollars in this period, reaching 811 million, and the net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio dropped to 3.1 times, despite the lower EBITDA.
Consolidated Corporate Results
During the third quarter, controlling interest net income was US$20 million, compared to US$28 million in the same quarter of 2017.

For the first nine months of the year our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 6%, 10% and 9%, respectively, compared to those of the same period of 2017. Our national cement consumption estimates indicate that demand declined by around 9% during the third quarter. About 2 percentage points of this decline was due to a state-workers strike that lowered activity for 21 days in September. Our cement volumes outperformed the industry during the quarter due to an improvement in our estimated market position on a year-over-year basis. However, on a sequential basis, our estimated position declined during the quarter due to a new competitor that commissioned its grinding mill in July. Our volumes during the quarter were supported by ongoing projects like the wholesale market in the North-Pacific region and the new building for the Parliament. Additionally, two relevant projects started consumption during the quarter: the new Central-Bank building and the new Coca-Cola plant.

In Nicaragua, although violence in the country receded, consumer and business confidence has been severely damaged by the socio-political crisis, affecting particularly the tourism and construction sectors. During the quarter, our cement volumes were mainly supported by the continued activity in ongoing road projects from the government. With regards to Guatemala, the residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main drivers of demand during the quarter, supported by vertical-housing projects and shopping malls in Guatemala City. 2018 Third Quarter Results Page 4

OTHER ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION Information regarding the Tax Authority special proceeding received by CEMEX Colombia related to the income tax year 2011 On September 2012, the Colombian Tax Authority (the Tax Authority) notified CEMEX Colombia an ordinary request for the review of its income tax return for the fiscal year 2011 in connection with the amortization of goodwill related the acquisition of its subsidiary Lomas del Tempisque S.R.L. that was considered tax deductible in such tax return. On October 5, 2012, CEMEX Colombia filed a challenge to the arguments of the proceeding and requested the case to be dismissed. On August 9, 2013, CEMEX Colombia received from the Tax Authority a notice for verification of the income tax return, which was under audit until September 5, 2018, when CEMEX Colombia was notified of a special proceeding by the Tax Authority in which certain deductions included in such tax return of the fiscal year 2011 were rejected. The Tax Authority assessed an increase in the income tax payable by CEMEX Colombia and imposed a penalty for amounts in Colombian Pesos equivalent to approximately $28.5 million and $28.5 million, respectively. CEMEX Colombia has until December 5, 2018 to respond to the proceeding notice; and, in case an official liquidation is issued, CEMEX Colombia intends to appeal the Colombian Tax Authoritys decision and exhaust all legal recourses available, which could take between six and eight years to resolve. If a final resolution adverse to CEMEX Colombia is reached in this matter, CEMEX Colombia will have to pay the amounts determined in the official liquidation, plus the interest caused on these amounts until the payment date. In this stage of the proceedings, as of September 30, 2018, CEMEX Latam is not able to assess the likelihood of an adverse result to this matter; but if adversely resolved, this proceeding could have a material adverse impact on the operating results, liquidity or financial position of CEMEX Latam. 2018 Third Quarter Results Page 11

Colombia Residential Sector During this 4Q18, we expect the residential sector to stabilize, supported by low interest rates, as well as by improvements in consumer confidence and in the intention-to-buy-a-home indicator We estimate that national-cement dispatches to this sector declined in the low-single digits during 3Q18 Social housing construction permits increased in the double digits YTD August along with healthy levels of home inventories The new government recently announced the pillars of their housing strategy in the next four years, with a home-construction-starts target of 1 million in this period, or about 250 thousand per year, a new rent-to-buy program and a new home-improvement program, among other initiatives 10
Colombia Infrastructure Sector We expect the infrastructure sector to increase in the double-digits during 4Q18; our volumes should continue to be supported by projects under execution Positive performance in this sector during 3Q18 our volumes were driven by the Salitre water-treatment plant and the CETIC Hospital, additionally, we supplied to the new garage of the Cali BRT system and to a group of 210 schools across the country We continued dispatching our products to several 4G projects including Autopista Mar 1, Autopista al Rio Magdalena 2, Bucaramanga-Barranca-Yondó and Bucaramanga-Pamplona We estimate 4G projects to demand 430,000 m3 in total for 2018, of which we already supplied 130,000, and we expect to supply around 30,000 more during 4Q18 11

Panama Sectors Highlights During 4Q18, ongoing infrastructure projects should provide volume support, particularly the Panama-Northern Corridor, the Transísmica-Road rehabilitation, and the ITSE college Weakness in the residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors expected to continue, inventory continues to be high in the middle-and high-end residential segments, as well as in offices For 2019, the government recently awarded two relevant infrastructure projects. First, the Corredor de las Playas highway with an investment of US$540 million, which is expected to start during 1Q19. And second, the fourth bridge over the canal, with an investment of US$1.4 billion, and which should start construction during 4Q19. We also expect that the third line of the Panama City metro be awarded during 1H19 and start construction during 1Q20 14

Costa Rica Sector Highlights For 4Q18, demand for our products should be supported by projects currently under execution like the wholesale market in the North-Pacific region, the new building for the Parliament, the new Central-Bank building, as well as by the new Coca-Cola plant The government recently announced a plan to reactivate the Costa Rican economy, that includes infrastructure investments for US$4.6 billion, out of which US$3 billion could be spent between 2019 & 2022. The government is ready to deploy US$350 millions of available credit from the Inter-American Development Bank in the short term to start road projects like Ruta 32 Cruce a Río Frío- Limón and Ruta 1 Cañas Limonal 17

Nicaragua Sector Highlights Because of the economic deterioration, we expect our volumes to decrease in the high-single digits during 4Q18 on a sequential basis Although violence in the country receded, consumer and business confidence has been severely damaged by the socio-political crisis, particularly affecting the tourism and construction sectors Our cement volumes during the quarter declined by 13% YoY and by 2% QoQ, our cement volumes were mainly supported by the continued activity in ongoing road projects from the government We reduced our operating expenses in the country by 45%, As we do not foresee the socio-political situation improving in the short term 20
Guatemala Sector Highlights Our cement and ready-mix volumes increased, by 14% and 19%, respectively, during 3Q18 The residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main drivers of demand during the quarter supported by vertical-housing projects and shopping malls in Guatemala City We expect increased construction activity in coming months, as Guatemala will have general elections for president, congress and mayors in June 2019 21

Income statement items Controlling interest net income reached US$20 million during 3Q18, US$8 million lower YoY primarily driven by lower gross profit and a negative effect in discontinued operations, partially offset by a positive effect in other expenses, net, as well as lower financial expenses and taxes Other expenses, net, were positive US$5 million include the positive impact from a reversal in a provision of about US$12.5 million related to the Laserna case in Colombia, which was resolved in our favor, partially offset by some other provisions made during the quarter Discontinued operations resulted in a loss of US$9 million, mainly due to completion of the Brazil divestment 24
