CEMEX REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER

2013 RESULTS

MONTERREY, MEXICO, APRIL 26, 2013 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX), announced today that consolidated net sales reached U.S.$3.3 billion during the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 5% versus the comparable period in 2012. Operating EBITDA decreased by 8% during the quarter to U.S.$521 million versus the same period in 2012. Adjusting for the fewer business days during the quarter and, in the case of operating EBITDA, for the extraordinary favorable effect in 2012 resulting from the change of a pension plan in our Northern Europe region, net sales declined by 2% and operating EBITDA increased by 9% during the first quarter of 2013.

CEMEX’s Consolidated First-Quarter 2013 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

   

The decrease in consolidated net sales was due to fewer business days and lower volumes in the Northern Europe, Mexico, Mediterranean, and South, Central America and the Caribbean operations partially offset by higher prices, in local currency terms, in most of our regions.

 

   

Operating earnings before other expenses, net, in the first quarter remained flat at U.S.$239 million.

 

   

Operating EBITDA for the quarter, on a like-to-like basis adjusting for the effect of the change in pension plan mentioned above and the fewer business days during the quarter, increased by 9%.

 

   

Operating EBITDA margin, adjusting for the effect of the change in pension plan and the fewer business days during the quarter, increased by 1.6 percentage points on a year-over-year basis.

 

   

Controlling interest net income during the quarter was a loss of U.S.$281 million, versus a loss of U.S.$30 million in 2012. The year-over-year difference is mainly due to non-cash foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

   

Free cash flow after maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter was negative U.S.$483 million, compared with negative U.S.$287 million reduction in the same quarter of 2012.

Fernando A. González, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, said: “We are pleased with the operating EBITDA growth and operating EBITDA margin expansion during the quarter on a comparable basis. This is the seventh consecutive quarter with year-over-year improvement in operating EBITDA.


We are also seeing good results from the initial stages of our value-before-volume strategy as evidenced by the sequential increase in our consolidated prices for cement ready-mix and aggregates, in both, local-currency and U.S. dollar terms.”

Consolidated Corporate Results

Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by U.S.$355 million during the quarter.

Geographical Markets First-Quarter 2013 Highlights

Net sales in our operations in Mexico decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2013 to U.S.$780 million, compared with U.S.$838 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating EBITDA decreased by 11% to U.S.$263 million versus the same period of last year.

CEMEX’s operations in the United States reported net sales of U.S.$736 million in the first quarter of 2013, up 8% from the same period in 2012. Operating EBITDA increased to U.S.$19 million in the quarter, versus the loss of U.S.$24 million in the same quarter of 2012.

In Northern Europe, net sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 13% to U.S.$756 million, compared with U.S.$873 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating EBITDA was a loss of U.S.$17 million for the quarter, from a gain of U.S.$55 million for the same period last year.

First-quarter net sales in the Mediterranean region were U.S.$347 million, 8% lower compared with U.S.$377 million during the first quarter of 2012. Operating EBITDA decreased 25% to U.S.$73 million for the quarter versus the comparable period in 2012.

CEMEX’s operations in South, Central America and the Caribbean reported net sales of U.S.$497 million during the first quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 5% over the same period of 2012. Operating EBITDA increased 5% to U.S.$188 million in the first quarter of 2013, from U.S.$178 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Operations in Asia reported a 11% increase in net sales for the first quarter of 2013, to U.S.$142 million, versus the first quarter of 2012, and operating EBITDA for the quarter was U.S.$24 million, up 93% from the same period last year.

###

This press release contains forward-looking statements and information that are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of CEMEX to be materially different from those expressed or implied in this release, including, among others, changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which CEMEX does business, changes in interest rates, changes in inflation rates, changes in exchange rates, the level of construction generally, changes in cement demand and prices, changes in raw material and energy prices, changes in business strategy and various other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. CEMEX assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this press release.

Operating EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation and operating amortization. Free Cash Flow is defined as Operating EBITDA minus net interest expense, maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, change in working capital, taxes paid, and other cash items (net other expenses less proceeds from the disposal of obsolete and/or substantially depleted operating fixed assets that are no longer in operation). Net debt is defined as total debt minus the fair value of cross-currency swaps associated with debt minus cash and cash equivalents. The Consolidated Funded Debt to Operating EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing Consolidated Funded Debt at the end of the quarter by Operating EBITDA for the last twelve months. All of the above items are presented under the guidance of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Operating EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (as defined above) are presented herein because CEMEX believes that they are widely accepted as financial indicators of CEMEX’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures and service or incur debt. Operating EBITDA and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as indicators of CEMEX’s financial performance, as alternatives to cash flow, as measures of liquidity or as being comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

*Like to like (“l t l”) percentage variations adjusted for investments/divestments and currency fluctuations.

(1)For 2013 and 2012, the effects on the denominator and numerator  of potential dilutive shares generate anti dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted loss per share.

Consolidated net sales during the first quarter of 2013 decreased  to US$3,3 billion, a decline of 5% compared with the first quarter of 2012. Adjusting for the fewer business days in our operations  during the quarter, the decline in net sales was 2%. The decrease in consolidated net sales was due to lower volumes in the  Northern Europe, Mexico, Mediterranean, and South, Central America and the Caribbean operations partially offset by higher prices in local currency  terms in most of our regions.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.5pp  during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year. The decrease was due mainly to lower fuel and electricity  costs and a reduction in workforce related to our cost reduction initiatives.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.2pp during the first quarter of 2013  compared with the same period last year, from 20.0% to 20.2%. Adjusting for an extraordinary favorable effect resulting from the change of  a pension plan in our Northern Europe region from a defined benefit to a defined contribution and which reduced our liability by US$69  million in 2012, operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were reduced by 1.8pp. The decrease during the quarter was the result  of savings from our cost reduction initiatives and lower distribution expenses.

Operating EBITDA decreased by 8% to US$521 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the  same period last year. Adjusting for the fewer business days during the quarter as well as by the pension

effect, operating EBITDA increased by 9%. The increase was due  mainly to higher contributions from the U.S., and the South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia regions. Operating EBITDA margin  decreased by 0.5pp from 16.2% in the first quarter of 2012 to 15.7% this quarter. Adjusting for

the pension effect and the fewer business days during the quarter, operating EBITDA margin increased 1.6pp  mainly as a result of higher prices in local currency terms in most our regions, partially mitigated by lower volumes in Mexico, and  our Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and South, Central America and the Caribbean operations.

Exchange gain (loss), net for the quarter was a loss of US$118 million, resulting mainly from the  fluctuation of the euro and the Mexican peso.

Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a gain  of US$123 million, resulting mainly from derivatives related to CEMEX shares.

Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$281 million in the first quarter of 2013  versus a loss of US$30 million in the same quarter of 2012. The higher quarterly loss primarily reflects the negative effect in foreign  exchange fluctuations, higher financial expenses and higher income taxes, partially offset by a gain in financial instruments.

Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$355 million during  the quarter.

Our Mexican operations’ domestic gray cement volumes decreased by  10% during the quarter versus the same period last year, while ready mix volumes declined by 8% during the same period.

Volumes in the quarter were negatively affected by fewer working  days compared to the same quarter last year due to the Holy Week holidays as well as an extra day in 2012 related to leap  year. Adjusting for the fewer business days in the quarter, volumes declined by 5% for domestic gray cement and 3% for ready mix.

The industrial and commercial sector had a robust performance during the period. The transition process of the new government resulted in a delay in  infrastructure spending as well as reduced spending in social programs. The

formal residential sector showed a slight decline during the quarter mainly due to delays in government  subsidies and uncertainty surrounding the new housing policy. The informal residential sector was stable during the quarter reflecting an increase  in aggregate wages and employment levels.

Sales volumes for the quarter reflect improved demand in most of  our markets despite unfavorable weather conditions compared to unseasonably good weather last year. The residential sector continues to be the  main driver for cement consumption supported by record high affordability, low interest rates, and low levels of inventories. The industrial and commercial sector maintained its positive momentum during the quarter.

During the first quarter of 2012 the operating EBITDA for the region had an extraordinary favorable  effect resulting from the change of a pension plan for US$69 million. Excluding this effect, operating

EBITDA during the first quarter of 2012 was negative US$14 miilion versus negative US$17 million in the  same period of 2013.

Adjusting for the fewer business days during the quarter, our  domestic gray cement, ready mix and aggregates volumes in our Northern Europe region decreased by 11%, 11% and 7%, respectively, during the first quarter of 2013  versus the comparable period in 2012. In addition, adverse weather conditions in most countries of the region negatively affected our  volumes.

In the United Kingdom, domestic gray cement volumes decreased, on a  year over year basis, by 1%, ready mix volumes declined by 3% while our aggregates volumes decreased by 8% during the first quarter of 2013. Lower construction activity  during the quarter reflects the cuts in public spending. Tight credit conditions restricted the activity in the residential sector.

In our operations in France, ready mix volumes decreased by 20% and our aggregates volumes declined by 2% during the first quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period  last year. The snowy and cold winter conditions are responsible for most of the drop in ready mix volumes. Infrastructure activity was supported by several highways and high speed railway projects that started during 2012. Tight credit availability and the effect of the less attractive buy to let scheme introduced this year negatively affected the residential sector.

In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 14% during the first quarter on a year over year basis. The residential sector continued to be the main driver of demand for our products during the quarter supported by low  mortgage rates and low unemployment. The infrastructure sector experienced some restraints in projects.

Domestic gray cement volumes of our operations in Poland declined by 36% during the quarter versus the  comparable period in 2012. About half of the cement volume drop during the quarter was due to adverse weather conditions in the  country. Infrastructure spending declined on a year over year basis due to a difficult 2012 comparison with investment leading up to the Euro 2012 championship.

Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Spain decreased  by 33% and our ready mix volumes declined by 32% on a year over year basis during the quarter. Demand for our products was affected by fewer working days as well as unfavorable weather conditions during  most of the quarter. Volumes during the period were also impacted by low construction activity in the different sectors reflecting the  adverse economic situation. The continued fiscal austerity measures kept infrastructure spending at very low levels.

In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 3% during  the first quarter of 2013 on a year over year basis. Volumes during the quarter reflect the increase in cement capacity in the country. Energy shortages had a negative effect on  the production and delivery of cement, partially mitigating the impact of this new capacity. The informal residential sector was the main  driver of cement consumption during the quarter.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the region decreased by 9%  during the first quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period last year.

In Colombia, domestic gray cement and aggregated volumes decreased by 15% and 6%, respectively, while ready mix volumes increased by 2% during the first quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period last year. Adjusting for the fewer business  days in the quarter, volumes declined by 10% for domestic gray cement, grew by 7% for ready mix, and remained flat for aggregates.  Our price increase at the beginning of the year, as expected, caused a slight reduction in our market share. In previous years after  losing market share for this reason we have regained this market share in subsequent quarters.

Self construction sector experienced lower activity as some prospective home buyers have delayed their home purchasing decision awaiting the results of  the government’s 100 thousand free homes program. In addition, Bogota experienced a decline in housing. Furthermore, some infrastructure projects  which were expected to start during the quarter were delayed and are still in the feasibility stage.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the region increased by 1%  during the first quarter on a year over year basis.

In the Philippines, our domestic gray cement volumes increased by  4% during the first quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period of last year, despite the impact of less working days due to Holy  Week.

The increase in volumes was driven by sustained infrastructure spending  as well as favorable performance from the industrial and commercial sectors. Stable levels of inflation and mortgage rates as well as healthy remittances inflows during the quarter contributed to the  growth in the residential sector.

EQUITY?RELATED AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS INFORMATION

Equity?related information

One CEMEX ADS represents ten CEMEX CPOs. The following amounts are expressed in CPO terms.

Beginning?of?quarter CPO?equivalent units outstanding 10,918,119,279

Less increase (decrease) in the number of CPOs held in subsidiaries (549,760)

Stock?based compensation 355,190

End?of?quarter CPO?equivalent units outstanding 10,919,024,229

Outstanding units equal total CPOs issued by CEMEX less CPOs held  in subsidiaries.

CEMEX has outstanding mandatory convertible notes which, upon conversion,  will increase the number of CPOs outstanding by approximately 194

million, subject to antidilution adjustments.

Employee long?term compensation plans

As of March 31, 2013, executives had outstanding options on a  total of 6,621,309 CPOs, with a weighted?average strike price of approximately US$1.43 per CPO (equivalent to US$14.29 per ADS). Starting in  2005, CEMEX began offering executives a restricted stock?ownership program. As of March 31, 2013,

our executives held 25,899,582 restricted CPOs, representing 0.2% of our total CPOs outstanding as of such  date.

Derivative instruments

The following table shows the notional amount for each type of derivative instrument and the aggregate  fair market value for all of CEMEX’s derivative instruments as of the last day of each quarter presented.

Estimated aggregate fair market value (1) (3) (4) 375 (38) (138)

In millions of US dollars.

The estimated aggregate fair market value represents the approximate settlement result as of the valuation  date, based upon quoted market prices and estimated settlement costs, which fluctuate over time. Fair market values and notional amounts do  not represent amounts of cash currently exchanged between the parties; cash amounts will be determined upon termination of the contracts  considering the notional amounts and quoted market prices as well as other derivative items as of the settlement date. Fair market values  should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair market values of the underlying hedge transactions and the  overall reduction in CEMEX’s exposure to the risks being hedged.

Note: Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize all derivative  financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at their estimated fair market value, with changes in such fair market  values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for cash?flow?hedging purposes, in which case changes in the  fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and then reclassified into earnings as the inverse  effects of the underlying hedged items flow through the income statement. As of March 31, 2013, in connection with the fair market  value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and liabilities resulting in a net asset of US$422  million, including a liability of US$43 million corresponding to an embedded derivative related to our Mandatory Convertible Notes, which according  to our debt agreements, is presented net of the assets associated with the derivative instruments. The notional amounts of derivatives  substantially match the amounts of underlying assets, liabilities, or equity transactions on which the derivatives are being entered into.

(1) Excludes an interest?rate swap related to our long?term energy contracts. As of March 31, 2013, the notional amount of this derivative was  US$181 million, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$47 million.

(2) Includes a notional amount of US$13 million in connection with a guarantee by CEMEX of a financial transaction entered into by its  employees’ pension fund trust. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of this financial guarantee represented an asset of US$14  million.

(3) Net of cash collateral deposited under open positions. Cash collateral was US$10 million as of March 31, 2013.

(4) As required by IFRS, the estimated aggregate fair market value as of March 31, 2013 includes a liability of US$43 million relating to  an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s Mandatory Convertible Notes while the estimated aggregate fair market value as of March 31, 2012 and  December 31, 2012 include a liability of US$179 million and US$365 million, respectively, related to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s  Optional Convertible Subordinated Notes. For more information please refer to page 17 “Change in the Parent Company’s functional  currency.”

OTHER ACTIVITIES

CEMEX’s self construction initiatives benefit more than 2 million people

On April 16, 2013, CEMEX presented its 2012 Sustainable Development  Report. Among other highlights, the company reported that its different self construction initiatives, including Patrimonio Hoy, ConstruApoyo, and Productive Centers of Self Employment, benefited more than 2 million people since the programs started. With the world’s population expected to reach the 9 billion  milestone by 2050, CEMEX is focused on meeting the needs of this growing population, while protecting the environment and contributing to  the design of resource efficient urban environments. CEMEX´s 2012 Sustainable Development Report summarizes its role in “Building the Cities of the Future.” In  this latest report, CEMEX shows significant progress in major priority areas such as the company’s carbon strategy, sustainable construction,  environmental and biodiversity management, workplace safety, affordable housing and infrastructure initiatives to strengthen communities around the world, and  the development of innovative products designed to promote sustainable behavior of its end users. Key highlights include:

•The company launched CEMEX Green Building Services to support  clients in the execution of LEED or BREEAM certified projects with an integrated offer that includes bioclimatic architecture and energy efficient engineering.

•CEMEX conceptualized and engineered global products to positively  impact job site safety, promote efficient construction practices, sensibly preserve natural resources vital to life, lower carbon footprint, and  improve the quality of life in rapidly transforming cities.

• CEMEX introduced a new modular, lightweight building system for affordable vertical housing construction.

• The company facilitated the completion of nearly 3,000 affordable housing projects during 2012.

•CEMEX supported more than 42,900 families in building 407,000  square meters of living space through its Patrimonio Hoy program.

•In 2012, CEMEX transformed agricultural, industrial, and municipal  waste into fuel for our cement kilns, achieving a 27% alternative fuel substitution rate. Overall, the company’s total low carbon initiatives resulted in the avoidance of the emission of 7.8 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to the emissions  made by 1.5 million cars.

•CEMEX completed 315 infrastructure projects in 2012, including  solutions for sustainable mass transit systems in Latin America, such as Bus Rapid Transit and metro lines.

The report includes an external limited assurance statement by  PricewaterhouseCoopers for the seventh consecutive year, as well as a statement from the company’s Sustainability Reporting Advisory Panel.

CEMEX signs research agreement with the Earth Engineering Center,  Columbia University and City College of New York

On April 9, 2013, CEMEX announced a collaboration agreement with  the Earth Engineering Center (EEC) at Columbia University and City College of

New York in which EEC will conduct a year long study of the life cycle effects of using alternative fuels in cement manufacturing. This study will result in a better understanding  of the role that alternative fuels play in society and the environment. Led by Professors Nickolas Themelis and Marco Castaldi, from  Columbia University and the City College of New York, respectively, the study will focus on waste combustion technologies implemented in CEMEX  kilns in the United States and Mexico. Since 2005, CEMEX has invested more than US$175 million, adjusting its production process and  installing equipment to use alternative fuels in its cement kilns. In 2012, CEMEX achieved approximately a 27% alternative fuel substitution rate  in its cement production. CEMEX is on track to achieve its target of a 35% alternative fuel substitution rate in cement production by  2015. The substitution of fossil fuels with alternative fuels results in numerous benefits such as the reduction of GHG emissions and use  of greenfields for land filling, the displacement of fossil fuels, and lower energy costs.

CEMEX announces pricing of U.S.$600 million in senior secured notes

In November 2009, the Mexican Congress approved amendments to the income tax law that became effective  on January 1, 2010. The new law included changes to the tax consolidation regime that require CEMEX to, among other things, determine  income taxes as if the tax consolidation provisions in Mexico did not exist from 1999 onward. These changes also required the payment  of taxes on dividends between entities of the consolidated tax group (specifically, dividends paid from profits that were not taxed in the  past), certain special items in the tax consolidation, as well as tax loss carryforwards generated by entities within the consolidated tax  group that should have been recovered by such individual entities over the succeeding 10 years. These amendments increased the statutory income  tax rate from 28% to 30% for the years 2010 to 2012, 29% for 2013, and decreased it to 28% for 2014 and future years.  Pursuant to these amendments, the parent company was required to pay in 2010 (at the 30% tax rate) 25% of the tax resulting from  eliminating the tax consolidation effects from 1999 to 2004, and to pay an additional 25% in 2011. The remaining 50% is required to  be paid as follows: 20% in 2012, 15% in 2013, and 15% in 2014. With respect to the consolidation effects originated after 2004,  these should be considered during the sixth fiscal year following their origination and are be payable

over the succeeding five years in the same proportions (25%, 25%, 20%, 15%, and 15%), and, in  relation to this, the consolidation effect for 2005 has already been notified to CEMEX and considered. Applicable taxes payable as a result  of the changes to the tax consolidation regime will be increased by inflation, as

required by the Mexican income tax law. As of December 31, 2009, based on Interpretation 18, the  parent company recognized the nominal value of estimated taxes payable in connection with these amendments of approximately US$799 million. This  amount was recognized by the parent company as a tax payable on its balance sheet against “Other non current assets” for approximately US$628 million, in connection with the net liability recognized before the new tax law and that the  parent company expects to realize in connection with the payment of this tax liability; and approximately US$171 million against “Retained  earnings” for the portion, according to the new law, related to: a) the difference between the sum of the equity of the controlled  entities for tax purposes and the equity for tax purposes of the consolidated entity; b) dividends from the controlled entities for tax  purposes to CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.; and c) other transactions between the companies included in the tax consolidation that represented the  transfer of resources within the group. In December 2010, pursuant to additional rules, the tax authorities eliminated certain aspects of the  law related to the taxable amount for the difference between the sum of the equity of the controlled entities for tax purposes and  the equity for tax purposes of the consolidated entity. As a result, the parent company reduced its estimated tax payable by approximately  US$235 million against a credit to “Retained earnings.” In 2012, changes in the parent company’s tax payable associated with the  tax consolidation in Mexico are as follows (approximate US$ Millions):

2012

Balance at the beginning of the period $966

Income tax received from subsidiaries $179

Restatement for the period $41

Payments during the period ($54)

Balance at the end of the period $1,132

In December 2012, the Federal Revenue Law (Ley Federal de Ingresos)  applicable in 2013, established that the statutory income tax rate remained at 30% in 2013, then lowered it to 29% for 2014 and  28% for 2015 and future years.

As of December 31, 2012, the balance of tax loss carryforwards  that have not been considered in the tax consolidation was approximately US$625 million. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated payment  schedule of taxes payable resulting from these changes in the tax consolidation regime in Mexico were as follows (approximate amounts in  millions of US dollars):

2013 $ 157*

2014 $ 200

2015 $ 209

2016 $ 173

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES

Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of results

Under IFRS, beginning January 1, 2008, CEMEX translates the financial  statements of foreign subsidiaries using exchange rates at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the exchange rates at the end  of each month for the income statement. CEMEX reports its consolidated results in Mexican pesos.

For the reader’s convenience, beginning June 30, 2008, US dollar amounts for the consolidated entity  are calculated by converting the nominal Mexican peso amounts at the end of each quarter using the average MXN/US$ exchange rate for  each quarter. The exchange rates used to convert results for the first quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012 are 12.61 and  12.91 Mexican pesos per US dollar, respectively.

Per country/region figures are presented in US dollars for the reader’s convenience. Figures presented in US dollars for Mexico, as of March  31,

2013, and March 31, 2012, can be converted into their original  local currency amount by multiplying the US dollar figure by the corresponding average exchange rates for 2013 and 2012, provided below.

Breakdown of regions

Northern Europe includes operations in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia,  Poland, and the United Kingdom, as well as trading operations in several Nordic countries. The Mediterranean region includes operations in  Croatia, Egypt, Israel, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates.
