CEMEX LATAM HOLDINGS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
| • | Positive performance in our operations in Colombia and new records achieved in Nicaragua and Guatemala. |
| • | Adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, consolidated net sales and EBITDA in the first quarter increased by 3% and 6%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. |
BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA. APRIL 21, 2016 – CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (“CLH”) (BVC: CLH), announced today that consolidated net sales reached US$316 million during the first quarter of 2016, a decline of 11% versus the first quarter of 2015. This decline is mainly explained by foreign-exchange fluctuations and lower sales in our operations in Panama and Costa Rica. Adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, consolidated net sales in the first quarter increased by 3%, on a year-over-year basis.
Operating EBITDA, also adjusted for foreign-exchange fluctuations, increased by 6%, during the first quarter of 2016, compared with the same period in 2015.
During the first quarter of 2016, our consolidated cement volumes increased by 1%, while our ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 13% and 18%, respectively, compared with the first quarter of last year.
Carlos Jacks, CEO of CLH, said, “In the first quarter, adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, our consolidated net sales and EBITDA increased by 3% and 6%, respectively, versus the comparable period in 2015. We are pleased with these achievements in light of the volume decline related to the tough comparison basis associated to our high level of exposure to infrastructure projects in Panama and Costa Rica last year.”
CLH’s Financial and Operational Highlights
| • | Adjusting for the effect of foreign-exchange fluctuations, net sales and EBITDA in Colombia increased by 14% and 18%, respectively, during the first quarter on a year-over-year basis. |
| • | During the first three months of the year, cement volumes in Colombia increased by 9%, while ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 12% and 18%, respectively, compared with the same period a year ago. |
| • | In Panama, in the first quarter cement and ready-mix volumes increased by 10% and 5%, respectively, while our aggregates volume declined by 2%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. |
| • | In the January-March period our consolidated EBITDA margin grew by 0.9pp versus the same period in 2015, mainly driven by margin improvements in Colombia and the Rest of CLH. |
| • | Free cash flow after total capital expenditures reached US$26 million during the first quarter of 2016 increasing 38% compared with the same period of 2015. Strategic capital expenditures of US$31 million in the quarter are mainly related to our capacity expansion project in Colombia. |
Carlos Jacks added, “This quarter was especially significant for us since we already started to see more clearly the benefits of our value-before-volume strategy in Colombia, in which we spent many efforts during 2015. The good results of our Colombian operation helped us more than offset challenging market dynamics in Central America. We are encouraged by these results and we will continue reinforcing our competitive position, while enhancing our profitability.”

completion of some large infrastructure projects, a slow-down in construction license approval, and low levels of execution
of new infrastructure projects.

In Costa Rica, during the first quarter our domestic gray cement volumes declined by 16%, while our ready-mix and

The decline in our cement volumes is mainly explained by the tough comparison base related to a high exposure to
infrastructure projects in 2015, such as the Northern Interamerican Road.

Housing and infrastructure in Nicaragua, along with industrial-and-commercial activity in Guatemala, remained the main
drivers of demand for our products. Our domestic gray cement volumes in these two countries increased at double digit
rates against the first and fourth quarters of 2015.

The decline in ready-mix and aggregates relates to the conclusion of projects like the Izapa-Nejapa highway, and Calles para el Pueblo.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
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 March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was $3,022.35 and $2,576.05 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated results for the first quarter of 2016 and for the first quarter of 2015 were $3,205.22 and $2,504.71 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 financial information
When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Presentation of financial and operating information

OTHER ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION
Information Request in Costa Rica
As a result of a claim made by a third party, in March 2016, the Competition Directorate of Costa Rica notified CEMEX (Costa Rica), S.A.
(“CEMEX Costa Rica”) of a formal information request that has the objective of calculating the cement market share in Costa Rica and the geographical areas in which CEMEX Costa Rica has a presence. CEMEX Costa Rica has delivered the requested information. As of March 31, 2016, we are not able to assess the likelihood of this request for information leading to a formal investigation or any other actions by the Competition Directorate of Costa Rica, but if any formal investigations are commenced or if any actions are taken by the Competition Directorate of Costa Rica or any other governmental authority in Costa Rica we would not expect that any adverse result from any investigation or actions taken by the corresponding authority of the government of Costa Rica would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
