CEMEX REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR
2013 RESULTS
MONTERREY, MEXICO, FEBRUARY 6, 2014 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX), announced today that consolidated net sales increased by 4% during the fourth quarter of 2013 to approximately U.S.$3.9 billion and increased by 2% for the full year to U.S.$15.2 billion versus the comparable periods in 2012. Operating EBITDA increased by 4% during the fourth quarter of 2013 to U.S.$642 million and increased 1% for the full year to U.S.$2.6 billion versus 2012. On a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations, adjusting for currency fluctuations and also for the extraordinary favorable effect in 2012 resulting from the change of a pension plan in our Northern Europe region, full year 2013 operating EBITDA increased by 4% versus 2012.
CEMEX’s Consolidated Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2013 Financial and Operational Highlights
| • | The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher volumes in the U.S., and in our Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia and South, Central America and the Caribbean regions, as well as higher prices of our products in local currency terms in most of our regions. |
| • | Operating earnings before other expenses, net, in the fourth quarter increased by 30%, to U.S.$359 million and increased 17%, to U.S.$1.5 billion, for the full-year 2013. |
| • | Reporting a narrower controlling interest net loss of U.S.$255 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 from a loss of U.S.$494 million in the same period last year. For the full-year 2013 controlling interest net loss improved to U.S.$843 million from a loss of U.S.$913 million in 2012. |
| • | Operating EBITDA during the quarter increased by 4% to U.S.$642 million. For the full year 2013 operating EBITDA increased by 1% to U.S.$2.6 billion versus 2012. On a like-to-like basis and also adjusting for the pension plan effect, full-year 2013 operating EBITDA increased by 4%. |
| • | Operating EBITDA margin remained flat during the quarter, on a year-over-year basis, reaching 16.6%. For the full year operating EBITDA margin decreased by 0.1 percentage points to 17.4% versus 2012. Adjusting for the pension plan effect, operating EBITDA margin during 2013 increased by 0.3 percentage points versus 2012. |
| • | Free cash flow after maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter was U.S.$216 million, compared with U.S.$228 million in the same quarter of 2012. |
Fernando A. González, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, said: “During 2013 we continued to deliver. This is our third consecutive year of EBITDA growth, driven by improvement in pricing and volume in most of our regions, the favorable operating leverage effect in the U.S., as well as our continued initiatives to improve our operating efficiency.
Last year, we continued to successfully access the capital markets, issuing US$3.1 billion in four separate transactions. Our financial initiatives done during the year are expected to represent annual cash interest savings of approximately US$55 million. We are pleased with the way our credit continues to re-rate.
We also remain focused on value creation, proactively improving our operating performance by focusing on pricing, value-added products and services, maintaining our cost discipline and outsourcing support activities, while at the same time we continue to look for ways to optimize our portfolio.”

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.

(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 fourth quarter of 2013 increased to US$3.9 billion, representing an increase of 4% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher volumes in the U.S. and in our Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia and South, Central America and the Caribbean regions, as well as higher prices of our products in local currency terms in most of our regions.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.8pp during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year. The decrease includes a reduction in workforce related to our cost reduction initiatives.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.1pp during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year, from 23.0% to 22.9%.
Operating EBITDA increased by 4% to US$642 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year. The increase was due to higher contributions from the U.S., and the South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia regions. On a like-to-like basis, operating EBITDA increased by 6% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year.
Operating EBITDA margin remained flat at 16.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period in 2012.
Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$147 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$48 million, resulting mainly from derivatives related to CEMEX shares.
Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$255 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus a loss of US$494 million in the same quarter of 2012. The smaller quarterly loss primarily reflects higher operating earnings before other expenses, net, a gain on financial instruments, lower other expenses and income taxes, which more than offset higher financial expenses and a loss in foreign exchange fluctuations.
Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$340 million during the quarter.

Our Mexican operations’ domestic gray cement volumes remained flat during the quarter versus the same period last year, while ready-mix volumes declined by 3% during the same period. For the full year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 8% while ready-mix volumes declined by 6% versus the full year 2012.
Cement volumes during the quarter were flat on a year-over-year basis, reflecting good performance from our bagged cement, in line with the improvement in economic activity. The industrial-and-commercial sector continued showing positive performance during the quarter. Infrastructure spending accelerated during the second half of 2013. The formal residential sector still reflects high home inventories and financing constraints. There was an increased participation of medium and small homebuilders.

Domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates volumes for CEMEX’s operations in the United States increased by 9%, 2%, and 1%, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the same period last year. On a pro forma basis, adjusting for the transfer of our ready mix assets in the Carolinas into the newly established joint venture with Concrete Supply, ready-mix volumes grew by 8%. For the full-year, domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates volumes increased by 5%, 8%, and 4%, respectively, versus the full-year 2012.
Sales volumes for the quarter reflect improved demand in most of our markets. Cement activity was dampened by poor weather conditions in some 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. The infrastructure sector showed a slight improvement in highway spending.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Northern Europe region increased by 4% during the fourth quarter of 2013 and decreased by 2% for the full year versus the full year 2012.
In the United Kingdom, domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes increased, on a year-over-year basis, by 8%, and 3%, respectively, while our aggregates volumes remained flat during the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full 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. The residential sector continued driving the demand for our products during the quarter which benefited from the governmental incentives to promote home ownership.
In our operations in France, domestic ready-mix volumes increased by 2% and our aggregates volumes increased by 4% during the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the comparable period last year. For the full year, ready-mix volumes decreased by 6% and our aggregates volumes increased by 3%, versus the same period last year. Infrastructure activity continues to be supported by a number of ongoing highway and high-speed-railway projects that started during 2012. High level of unemployment, a less attractive buy-to-let program and limited credit availability affected the performance in the residential sector. The 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 2% during the fourth quarter and increased by 1% for the full year versus the same period last year. Adverse weather conditions mitigated the demand for our products during the quarter. Low unemployment and mortgage rates, as well as higher wages and salaries contributed to an increase in activity in the residential sector, 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 2% during the quarter and declined by 18% for the full year versus the comparable periods in 2012. Demand for our products was impacted by lower activity in the infrastructure sector. The residential sector continues to be affected by high levels of unemployment and limited credit availability.

The infrastructure and industrial-and-commercial sectors continued with their positive performance.

The free cash flow during the quarter plus the increase in debt were mainly used for the creation of a cash reserve to pay the 2014 Eurobonds, to pay the premium of the 2016 Notes and 2017 Notes repurchased during the quarter, to pay coupons on the perpetual notes and general corporate purposes.
Our debt during the quarter reflects a negative foreign-exchange conversion effect of US$39 million as well as an increase in the debt component of our convertible securities, which are non-cash items.

EQUITY-RELATED AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS INFORMATION CEMEX
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 11,404,644,079
Stock-based compensation 1,328,736
End-of-quarter CPO-equivalent units outstanding 11,405,972,815
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 December 31, 2013, executives had outstanding options on a total of 4,720,450 CPOs, with a weighted-average strike price of approximately US$1.55 per CPO (equivalent to US$15.49 per ADS). Starting in 2005, CEMEX began offering executives a restricted stock-ownership program. As of December 31, 2013, our executives held 32,493,760 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.
Fourth Quarter Third Quarter
2013 2012 2013
Notional amount of equity related derivatives (1) (2) 2,410 2,775 2,410
Estimated aggregate fair market value (1) (2) (3) (4) 409 (138) 358
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 December 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$442 million, including a liability of US$39 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 December 31, 2013, the notional amount of this derivative was US$174 million, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$33 million.
(2) As of December 31, 2012 includes a notional amount of US$360 million in connection with a guarantee by CEMEX of a financial transaction entered into by its employees ´pension fund trust. As of December 31, 2012 the fair value of this financial guarantee represented a liability of US$58 million, which is net of a collateral deposit of US$76 million. As of December 31, 2013, there is no guarantee.
(3) Net of cash collateral deposited under open positions. Cash collateral was US$7 million as of December 31, 2013.
(4) As required by IFRS, the estimated aggregate fair market value as of December 31, 2013 includes a liability of US$39 million relating to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s mandatorily convertible securities while the estimated aggregate fair market value as of December 31, 2012 includes a liability of US$365 million, related to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s optional convertible subordinated notes.

OTHER INFORMATION CEMEX
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 December 31, 2013.
Mexican Tax Reform 2010 and 2014
In November 2009, Mexico approved amendments to the income tax law, which became effective on January 1, 2010. Such amendments modified the tax consolidation regime by requiring entities to determine income taxes as if the tax consolidation provisions did not exist from 1999 onward, specifically turning into taxable items: a) the difference between the sum of the equity of the controlled entities for tax purposes and the equity of the consolidated entity for tax purposes; b) dividends from the controlled entities for tax purposes to CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.; and c) other transactions that represented the transfer of resources between the companies included in the tax consolidation. In December 2010, pursuant to miscellaneous rules, the tax authority in Mexico granted the option to defer the calculation and payment of the income tax over the difference in equity explained above, until the subsidiary is disposed of or CEMEX eliminates the tax consolidation. Tax liabilities associated with the tax loss carryforwards used in the tax consolidation of the Mexican subsidiaries are not offset with deferred tax assets in the balance sheet. The realization of these tax assets is subject to the generation of future tax earnings in the controlled subsidiaries that generated the tax loss carryforwards in the past.
In addition, in connection with new amendments to the income tax law in Mexico approved in December 2013 and effective beginning January 1, 2014, the tax consolidation regime in effect until December 31, 2013, was replaced prospectively by a new integration regime, to which CEMEX will not apply, resulting in that beginning in 2014, each Mexican entity will determine its income taxes based solely in its individual results, and a period of up to 10 years has been established for the settlement of the liability for income taxes related to the tax consolidation regime accrued until December 31, 2013, amount which considering the new rules issued for the disconnection of the tax consolidation regime amounts to approximately US$1,901 million, as described in the table below.
Changes in the Parent Company’s tax payable associated with the tax consolidation in Mexico in 2013 were as follows (approximate US$ Millions):
2013
Balance at the beginning of the period $1,115
Income tax received from subsidiaries $138
Restatement for the period $95
Payments during the period ($156)
Effects of tax deconsolidation $709
Balance at the end of the period $1,901
As of December 31, 2013, 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):
2014 $328
2015 $380
2016 $317
2017 $316
2018 and thereafter $560
1,901
Egypt Share Purchase Agreement
On November 17, 2013, a hearing was held, in such hearing the appeals court in Cairo, Egypt, decided to set a hearing on January 20, 2014, to issue its decision. On January 20, 2014, the appeals court in Cairo, Egypt, without issuing a decision on the merits of the dispute, accepted the appeals, reversed the September 2012 first instance judgment by a court in an Assiut, Egypt, and referred the matter to an administrative court in Assiut, Egypt. Our facilities in Egypt continue to operate normally. At this stage, we are not able to assess the likelihood of an adverse result of proceedings before the administrative court, but if adversely resolved, the final resolution could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
Investigations in the UK
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. On January 14, 2014 the UK Commission published its Final Report which followed the earlier provisional decision in regards any remedies for CEMEX. The Final Report did however make changes from the provisional decision for the other major competitors regarding remedies in respect of supply of granulated blast furnace slag and for the supply of ground granulated blast furnace slag. These do not impact CEMEX directly.
Polish Antitrust Investigation
After a series of hearings, on December 13, 2013, the First Instance Court issued its judgment in regards with the appeals filed by CEMEX Polska and other cement producers. The First Instance Court reduced the penalty imposed on CEMEX Polska to approximately Polish Zlotys 93.89 million (approx. U.S.$31.15 million) which is equal to 8.125% of CEMEX Polska’s revenue in 2008. CEMEX Polska intends to appeal the First Instance Court judgment before the Appeals Court in Warsaw. The penalty is enforceable until the Appeals Court issues its final judgment. As of December 31, 2013, the accounting provision created in relation with this proceeding was approximately Polish Zloty 93.89 million (approx. U.S.$31.15 million). As of December 31, 2013, we do not expect this matter would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Amounts in U.S. dollars are based on an exchange rate of Polish Zloty 3.0142 to U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2013.
Antitrust Cartel Litigation in Germany
After several court hearings, on December 17, 2013 the Düsseldorf District Court issued a decision on closing the first instance. By this decision, all claims brought to court by CDC were dismissed. CDC filed an appeal against this decision before the Higher Regional Court in Düsseldorf, Germany.
2015 Capped Call
On January 13, 2014, CEMEX, considering its short term maturity and using the prevailing market valuation of the instrument, initiated a process to amend the terms its capped call to be settled in 2015. The execution of this amendment, which does not require any cash payments, was finalized the week of February 3, 2014. As a result of this amendment, CEMEX has the right to receive the market value of approximately 7.7 million of ADS through the same number of zero-strike call options maturing in March 2015, which will be marked-to-market through profit or loss, prospectively.

Per-country/region figures are presented in US dollars for the reader’s convenience. Figures presented in US dollars for Mexico, as of December 31, 2013, and December 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.
