Since 2010 we have improved our asset base, reshaped our commercial offer and optimized our cost structure, resulting in sustained value creation for our stakeholders.”

###
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 CLH 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 CLH 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, changes derived from events affecting CEMEX, S.A.B de C.V. and subsidiaries (“CEMEX”) 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. CLH assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this press release.
For convenience of the reader the 2012 pro forma consolidated financial information was adjusted to reflect the additional results of the operating subsidiaries for three and twelve month-period ended December 31, 2012 and reflect the 5% corporate charges and royalties agreement entered into by CLH with CEMEX. Operating EBITDA is defined as operating earnings before other expenses, net 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). All of the above items are presented on a consolidated basis in 2012 based on the financial statements of CLH’s subsidiaries prepared under 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 CLH believes that they are widely accepted as financial indicators of CLH’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 CLH’s financial performance, as alternatives to cash flow, as measures of liquidity or as being comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

CEMEX LATAM HOLDINGS
CEMEX Latam Holdings opens new cement grinding plant in Colombia
On November 25, 2013, CLH announced that it opened a new cement grinding plant, located in the municipality of Clemencia in the Caribbean coast in Colombia. This grinding facility represented an investment of approximately U.S.$50 million and has an annual production capacity of 450,000 metric tons of cement.
The plant, which during its construction phase generated 500 indirect jobs, operates using modern and efficient technology with high quality and environmental standards. This facility supplies cement to the markets on the Caribbean coast in Colombia.
Carlos Jacks, CEO of CLH said: “This investment reflects our commitment to participate in the development of Colombia creating new job opportunities and increasing well-being in our communities. With the construction of this grinding facility we are enhancing our position in a region with attractive growth prospects supported by high levels of construction activity.”
The municipality of Clemencia and neighboring communities will also benefit from several social initiatives like Bloqueras Solidarias, a program intended to reduce poverty levels by offering a social solution for families to improve or build their house with concrete blocks manufactured by them; the program for the improvement of infrastructure in the community; the program Sembrando Futuro, focused on environmental restoration; the construction of a community center; community training and education programs, among others.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
CEMEX LATAM HOLDINGS
Methodology for translation and presentation of results
Under IFRS, CLH reports its consolidated results in its functional currency, which is the US Dollar, by translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using the corresponding exchange rate at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the corresponding exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement.
For the reader’s convenience, Colombian peso amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the US dollar amounts using the closing COP/US$ exchange rate at the reporting date for balance sheet purposes, and the average COP/US$ exchange rate for the corresponding period for income statement purposes. The exchange rates used to convert: (i) the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was $1,926.83 Colombian pesos per US dollar, and (ii) the consolidated results for the fourth quarter of 2013 and pro forma result for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $1,914.26 and $1,805.35 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively.
Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.”
Consolidated and combined financial information
When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries. When reference is made to combined financial information means the financial information of CLH’s subsidiaries on a combined basis.
Presentation of financial and operating information
Individual information is provided for Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.
Countries in Rest of CLH include Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Brazil.
Pro forma financial information included in the report
CLH was incorporated during the second quarter of 2012 for purposes of the initial equity offering concluded on November 15, 2012. For accounting purposes, the group reorganization pursuant to which CLH acquired its consolidated subsidiaries was effective July 1, 2012. As a result, CLH has no historical consolidated financial information for the first and second quarter of 2012.
For convenience of the reader, and in order to present comprehensive comparative operating information for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2013, CLH prepared pro forma selected consolidated income statement information for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012, intended in all cases and to the extent possible, to present the operating performance of CLH on a like-to-like basis.
Pro forma 2012 and fourth quarter 2012: CLH selected consolidated income statement information for the three and twelve-months periods ended December 31, 2012, was determined by reflecting the original results of the operating subsidiaries for three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012. In addition, in connection with the 5% corporate charges and royalties agreements entered into by CLH with CEMEX and that was executed during the last quarter of 2012 with retroactive effects for full year 2012, the consolidated pro forma condensed income statement information of CLH for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012 was adjusted to reflect the 5% consolidated corporate charges and royalties.
