(1)For 2013 and 2012, the effect of the potential dilutive shares generate anti-dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted loss per share. Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2013 increased to US$4.0 billion, representing an increase of 3% compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher prices of our products in local currency terms in most of our regions, as well as higher volumes in the U.S., and in our Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia and South, Central America and the Caribbean regions. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.5pp during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year. The decrease includes a reduction in workforce related to our cost reduction initiatives and lower electricity costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.4pp during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year, from 20.3% to 20.7%. Operating EBITDA increased by 2% to US$747 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year. The increase was due to higher contributions from the U.S., and the Northern Europe, South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia regions. Operating EBITDA margin decreased by 0.2pp from 18.8% in the third quarter of 2012 to 18.6% this quarter. Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$107 million, which mainly included impairments of fixed assets, severance payments and a loss in sales of fixed assets. Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a gain of US$42 million, resulting mainly from derivatives related to CEMEX shares. Foreign exchange results for the quarter was a gain of US$21 million, resulting mainly from the fluctuation the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar. Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$155 million in the third quarter of 2013 versus a loss of US$203 million in the same quarter of 2012. The smaller quarterly loss primarily reflects higher operating earnings before other expenses, net, a positive effect in other expenses, a gain in foreign exchange fluctuations and the gain on financial instruments partially offset by a negative effect in financial expenses and higher income taxes. Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$182 million during the quarter. 2013 Third Quarter Results Page 2

During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 10% while ready-mix volumes declined by 7% versus the comparable period a year ago. Our volumes during the quarter were negatively impacted by the low levels of infrastructure spending reflecting the transition process of the new government, by the reduction in sales of bagged cement to social programs and by the adverse weather conditions in most regions in the country. On the formal residential sector, activity continued to be weak due to continued financing constraints and high inventories. The industrial-and-commercial sector continued showing positive performance during the same period.

During the first nine months of the year and on a year-over-year basis, domestic gray cement, ready mix, and aggregates increased by 4%, 10% and 6%, respectively. Sales volumes for the quarter reflect improved demand in most of our markets. The residential sector continued to be the main driver of demand during the quarter sustained by strong fundamentals such as high affordability, large pent-up demand and low levels of inventories. The industrial-and-commercial sector also contributed favorably to demand growth. 2013 Third Quarter Results Page 3

In the United Kingdom, domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes increased, on a year-over-year basis, by 12%, and 8%, respectively, while our aggregates volumes remained flat during the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of the year our domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes increased by 7%, and 4%, respectively and our aggregates volumes decreased by 2%, versus the comparable period in the previous year. Improved macroeconomic conditions contributed to higher activity in the country. Cement volumes during the quarter were driven by the residential sector which benefited from the governmental incentives to promote home ownership. In our operations in France, domestic ready-mix volumes decreased by 1% and our aggregates volumes increased by 9% during the third quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period last year. During the first nine months of the year, ready-mix volumes decreased by 9% and our aggregates volumes increased by 3%, on a year-over-year basis. Infrastructure activity continues to be supported by a number of ongoing highway and high-speed-railway projects that started during 2012. The year-over-year activity in the residential sector was affected by higher unemployment rate, the reduction of government housing incentives, and a less attractive buy-to-let program. Improved activity in the industrial-and-commercial sector, especially in industrial buildings, mitigated the decline in volumes. In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes increased by 6% during the third quarter and remained flat during the first nine months of the year on a year-over-year basis. Low unemployment and mortgage rates, as well as the increase in wages and salaries benefited residential activity, which was the main driver of demand for our products. Performance of the infrastructure sector remained stable. Domestic gray cement volumes of our operations in Poland declined by 14% during the quarter and decreased by 22% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2012. Our volumes during the quarter were affected by market dynamics while construction activity remained stable. A slight reduction in home inventories was evidenced in the residential sector while the industrial-and-commercial sector remained stable. 2013 Third Quarter Results Page 4

For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 29%, while ready-mix volumes declined by 29% compared with the same period in 2012. The decrease in volumes for building materials during the quarter reflects the adverse economic situation in the country. The continued fiscal austerity measures and spending cuts kept infrastructure activity at very low levels. In the residential sector, there has been a gradual reduction in home inventories. In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes increased by 7% during the third quarter of 2013 and increased by 7% during the first nine months of the year on a year-over-year basis driven mainly by the informal residential sector and supported by our alternative fuel strategy in the country.

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 11,367,489,161 Less increase (decrease) in the number of CPOs held in subsidiaries (250,400) Stock-based compensation 36,904,518 End-of-quarter CPO-equivalent units outstanding 11,404,644,079 Outstanding units equal total CPOs issued by CEMEX less CPOs held in subsidiaries. CEMEX has outstanding mandatorily convertible securities which, upon conversion, will increase the number of CPOs outstanding by approximately 202 million, subject to antidilution adjustments. Employee long-term compensation plans As of September 30, 2013, executives had outstanding options on a total of 5,056,566 CPOs, with a weighted-average strike price of approximately US$1.56 per CPO (equivalent to US$15.60 per ADS). Starting in 2005, CEMEX began offering executives a restricted stock-ownership program. As of September 30, 2013, our executives held 32,540,320 restricted CPOs, representing 0.3% 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. Third Quarter Second Quarter 2013 2012 2013 Notional amount of equity related derivatives (1) 2,410 2,774 2,410 Estimated aggregate fair market value (1) (2) (3) 358 (57) 320 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 September 30, 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$396 million, including a liability of US$34 million corresponding to an embedded derivative related to our mandatorily convertible securities, 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 September 30, 2013, the notional amount of this derivative was US$177 million, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$38 million. (2) Excludes two exchange rate derivatives, as of September 30, 2012, the notional amount of both derivatives were US$100 million, with a positive fair market value of an approximately US$1 million. As of September 30, 2013, there are no exchange rate derivatives. (3) Net of cash collateral deposited under open positions. Cash collateral was US$8 million as of September 30, 2013. (4) As required by IFRS, the estimated aggregate fair market value as of September 30, 2013 includes a liability of US$34 million relating to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s mandatorily convertible securities while the estimated aggregate fair market value as of September 30, 2012 includes a liability of US$232 million, related to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s optional convertible subordinated notes.

CEMEX announces pricing of U.S.$1.4 billion in senior secured notes and announces pricing of additional U.S.$100 million in Floating Rate Notes On September 25, 2013, CEMEX announced the pricing of U.S.$1.0 billion of 7.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Fixed Rate Notes”) and U.S.$400 million of Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Floating Rate Notes” and, together with the Fixed Rate Notes, the “New Notes”) denominated in U.S. dollars. The Fixed Rate Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% and mature on January 15, 2021. The Fixed Rate Notes were issued at par and are callable commencing on January 15, 2018. The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% (475 basis points) and mature on October 15, 2018. The Floating Rate Notes were issued at par and are callable commencing on or after the interest payment date immediately preceding their maturity date. The closing of the offerings occurred on October 2, 2013. On September 27, 2013, CEMEX announced the pricing of U.S.$100 million of additional Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Floating Notes”) which constituted part of the same series as the U.S.$400 million of Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Original Floating Notes”) previously announced on September 25, 2013. CEMEX intends to use the approximately U.S.$99.6 million of net proceeds from the offering of Additional Floating Notes, together with the approximately U.S.$1.394 billion of net proceeds from the offerings of Original Notes, to purchase any or all of the U.S.$825 million outstanding 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”), issued by CEMEX Finance LLC, and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including to purchase up to €150 million of the outstanding 9.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), issued by CEMEX Finance LLC, to repay at maturity the 4.75% Notes due 2014, issued by CEMEX Finance Europe B.V., and/or to repay its other indebtedness. CEMEX currently expects to purchase the 2016 Notes at a price of approximately U.S.$1,062.50 for each U.S.$1,000 of 2016 Notes and to purchase the 2017 Notes at a price of approximately €1,063.50 for each €1,000 of 2017 Notes, in each case, plus accrued interest. CEMEX to improve its portfolio in Europe On August 28, 2013, CEMEX announced that it has reached an agreement with Holcim to conduct a series of transactions that will improve CEMEX’s strategic footprint in Europe. CEMEX will acquire all of Holcim’s assets in the Czech Republic, which include one cement plant (cement capacity of 1.1 million tons, clinker capacity of 0.9 million tons), four aggregates quarries and 17 ready-mix plants. The Czech Republic is a market with a strong economy and solid prospects and we expect that acquiring these assets should improve CEMEX’s operations in the country and in Central Europe. CEMEX will divest its assets in the western part of Germany to Holcim, which include one cement plant and two grinding mills (total cement capacity of 2.5 million tons, clinker capacity of 0.9 million tons), one slag granulator, 22 aggregates quarries and 79 ready-mix plants. The German market is an attractive one and CEMEX will still be present in the eastern, northern and southern part of the country with an important footprint. In Spain, CEMEX and Holcim will combine all their cement, ready-mix and aggregates operations. CEMEX will have a 75% controlling interest over the combined operational assets in this country. This transaction will allow CEMEX to better serve the market, which should translate into higher value creation in that country. As part of these transactions, Holcim will pay CEMEX €70 million Euros in cash. Additionally, the transactions are expected to generate synergies that will result in a recurring improvement in CEMEX’s EBITDA of about US$20 million to US$30 million, beginning to be realized in 2014. These transactions are not final as they are subject to the fulfillment of various conditions precedent, mainly confirmatory due diligence, approvals from competition authorities, and from creditors under the Facilities Agreement, among others. In addition, on October 16, 2013 we obtained the necessary consent and approvals from the Facilities Agreement Creditors authorizing the transaction. CEMEX announces acceptance for purchase of U.S.$925 million of 9.50% notes due 2016 and early settlement of tender offer On August 19, 2013, CEMEX announced that holders of approximately U.S.$1.33 billion of the outstanding 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) issued by CEMEX Finance LLC tendered their Notes at or prior to the early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 16, 2013 (the “Early Tender Date”), pursuant to CEMEX’s previously announced cash tender offer to purchase up to U.S.$925 million (the “Maximum Tender Amount”) of the outstanding Notes. The cash tender offer was made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated August 5, 2013 and the related letter of transmittal. Because Notes in excess of the Maximum Tender Amount were validly tendered in the tender offer on or prior to the Early Tender Date, CEMEX accepted U.S.$925 million of such tendered Notes for purchase and paid holders thereof on a pro rata basis according to the pro ration procedures described in the offer to purchase. The early settlement date on which CEMEX made payment for such Notes was August 19, 2013. CEMEX announces pricing of U.S.$1.0 billion in senior secured notes On August 5, 2013, CEMEX announced the pricing of U.S.$1.0 billion of senior secured notes (the “Notes”) denominated in U.S. dollars. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.5% and mature on December 10, 2019. The Notes were issued at par and are callable commencing on December 10, 2017. The closing of the offering occurred on August 12, 2013. CEMEX intended to use the approximately U.S.$995 million of net proceeds from the offering to purchase a portion of the 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) issued by CEMEX Finance LLC, and the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other indebtedness. CEMEX expected to purchase a portion of the 2016 Notes at a price of approximately U.S.$1,075 for each U.S.$1,000 of 2016 Notes plus accrued interest. 2013 Third Quarter Results Page 16

OTHER INFORMATION Colombia Tax Matter Regarding the proceedings (requerimientos especiales) initiated by the Colombian Tax Authority (Dirección de Impuestos) in relation to CEMEX Colombia’s 2007 and 2008 year-end tax returns, during the second quarter of 2013, CEMEX Colombia reached a settlement with the Colombian Tax Authority (Dirección de Impuestos). On August 26, 2013, CEMEX Colombia received the final resolution regarding the 2007 year-end tax return and on September 16, 2013, CEMEX Colombia received the final resolution regarding the 2008 year-end tax return. Investigations in the UK Regarding the Market Investigation (“MIR”) commenced on January 2012 by the United Kingdom Competition Commission (the “UK Commission”), on October 8, 2013, the UK Commission announced its provisional decision on remedies which should not require CEMEX to divest any of its assets in the UK. Other major participants in the MIR could be required to divest certain of their assets in the UK. Based on the provisional remedies, CEMEX currently does not expect any material adverse impact on our financial results or operations from the Finding and Remedies final report that is to be submitted by the UK Commission by January 17, 2014. Change in the Parent Company’s functional currency Considering the guidance under IFRS set forth by International Accounting Standard 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”), and based on changing circumstances on the net monetary position in foreign currencies of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (on a parent company only basis) resulting mainly from: a) a significant decrease in tax liabilities denominated in Mexican Pesos; b) a significant increase in its U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and other financial obligations; and c) the expected increase in U.S. Dollar-denominated intra-group administrative expenses associated with the externalization of major back office activities with IBM; effective as of January 1, 2013, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V., for purposes of its parent company only financial statements, was required to prospectively change its functional currency from the Mexican Peso to the U.S. Dollar, as the U.S. Dollar was determined to be the currency of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s primary economic environment. The aforementioned change has no effect on the functional currencies of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s subsidiaries, which continue to be the currency in the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. Moreover, the reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries and the parent company only financial statements of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. continues to be the Mexican Peso. The main effects in CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s parent company only financial statements beginning on January 1, 2013, associated with the change in functional currency, as compared to prior years are: a) all transactions, revenues and expenses in any currency are recognized in U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at their execution dates; b) monetary balances of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. denominated in U.S. Dollars will not generate foreign currency fluctuations, while monetary balances in Mexican Pesos and other non-U.S. Dollar-denominated balances will now generate foreign currency fluctuations through CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s statement of operations; and c) the conversion option embedded in CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s Mandatory Convertible Notes denominated in Mexican Pesos will now be treated as a stand-alone derivative instrument through CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s statement of operations, while the options embedded in CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s U.S. Dollar-Denominated 2010 Optional Convertible Subordinated Notes and 2011 Optional Convertible Subordinated Notes will cease to be treated as stand-alone derivatives through CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.‘s statement of operations. Prior period financial statements are not required to be restated. Significant tax proceedings In connection with the previously publicly disclosed tax proceeding related to the taxes payable in Mexico from passive income generated by foreign investments for the years 2005 and 2006 and the transitory amnesty provision, CEMEX, S.A.B. opted to enter this amnesty program and therefore there are not any tax liabilities in connection to this matter as of March 31, 2013. Mexican Tax Reform 2010 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 $162 Restatement for the period $58 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$549 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 2017 $176 2018 and thereafter $217 1,132 * This payment was made in March 2013. 2013 Third Quarter Results Page 17

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.
