BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA. OCTOBER 27, 2016 – CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (“CLH”) (BVC: CLH), announced today that consolidated net sales reached US$1,012 million in the first nine months of 2016. Consolidated net sales decreased by 8% during the first nine months of 2016 compared to same period of 2015. This decline is mainly explained as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations and the effect of lower cement volumes from our operations in Panama and Costa Rica. Adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, consolidated net sales in the first nine months of the year decreased by 1%.
During the third quarter of 2016, consolidated net sales decreased by 4% on a year-over-year basis. This decline is mainly explained by lower sales from our operations in Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.
Operating EBITDA during the third quarter of 2016 increased by 3%, while for the first nine months of the year decreased by 2%, compared to the same periods in 2015. Adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, operating EBITDA in the first nine months of the year increased by 6% versus the same period in 2015.
During the first nine months of 2016, our consolidated cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 1%, 10% and 15%, respectively, compared to 2015.
Jaime Muguiro, CEO of CLH, said, “Despite challenging demand dynamics in markets like Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica, we have delivered strong results. Our EBITDA increased 3% despite of a decline of 4% in net sales, supported by EBITDA margin expansion in all of our operations, compared with the same period in 2015.”

Consolidated net sales during the third quarter of 2016 declined by 4% compared to the third quarter of 2015. This decline is explained mainly as a result of lower cement volumes from our operations in Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.
For the first nine months of 2016 consolidated net sales decreased by 8%, compared to the same period in 2015.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales during the first nine months of the year decreased by 1.7pp from 52.7% to 51.0% on a year-over-year basis.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first nine months of the year was 21.8%, which was the same value in the first nine months of 2015.
Operating EBITDA during the third quarter of 2016 increased by 3% compared to the third quarter of 2015. This increase is mainly explained by higher cement volumes in Rest of CLH, operational
efficiencies in Panama, Nicaragua and Guatemala, more favorable exchange rates against the US dollar, and lower maintenance works during the quarter compared with the same period in 2015.
During the first nine months of the year operating EBITDA decreased by 2%, compared to the same period last year.
Operating EBITDA margin during the third quarter of 2016 increased by 2.4pp, compared to the third quarter of 2015. During the first nine months of the year operating EBITDA margin increased by 2.2pp compared with the same period last year.

In Panama during the third quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 5%, 2% and 9%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2015. For the first nine months of the year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 16%, 8% and 9% ,respectively, compared to the same period in 2015. The decline during the third quarter in our cement volumes is mainly explained by sales to the Panama Canal expansion project in 3Q16 and a high comparison base in the Industrial and Commercial sector. Adjusting for the effect of the dispatches to the Canal expansion project, our quarterly cement dispatches are 1.6% lower.

The decline in our cement volumes during the third quarter and the first nine months of the year reflects a high comparison base related to dispatches to infrastructure projects in 2015, and a lack of execution of new public works this year.

OTHER ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION
CEMEX Latam Holdings has decided to postpone the commissioning of the Maceo plant
CEMEX Latam Holdings has decided to postpone the commissioning of the Maceo plant for the following reasons which have resulted from the ongoing audits: (i) there are certain pending permits required to finalize the access road to the plant in Maceo. Assuming such permits are obtained in due course, CEMEX Latam Holdings currently estimates that the access road could take until July 2017 to be finalized and ready to use. Using the only existing access to the plant today rather than the one being built would increase safety hazards and would likely limit the capacity to transport products from the plant in Maceo; (ii) CEMEX Colombia has requested to expand the trade zone, commissioning the new clinker line in Maceo without such expansion of the trade zone would put at risk our ability to consolidate tax benefits that would otherwise be available to CEMEX Colombia. It is possible a final decision regarding this request to expand the trade zone may not be made due to the eminent domain process that is ongoing. As a result, in order to protect the expected benefits from the trade zone, CEMEX Latam Holdings will not commission the clinker line until the trade zone is expanded to cover all of the Maceo cement facility; and (iii) the environmental license for the Maceo project is held by one of
CEMEX Latam Holdings’ subsidiaries, Central de Mezclas S.A., but that transfer to it of the corresponding mining title was not formalized, as the mining title has reverted back to C.I. Calizas y Minerales. As a result, the environmental license and mining right are held by different entities, which is contrary to the common practice of having the environmental license follow the mining permit. In any event, CEMEX Colombia will continue to use and
enjoy the land, mining and environmental rights under its current contracts entered into with representatives of the Government of Colombia. CEMEX Latam Holdings has also determined that the environmental license which was issued for the Maceo project is partially superposed with a District of Integrated Management (Distrito de manejo integrado). CEMEX Colombia will work with the corresponding environmental agency and address this issue and assess its overall impact. The assessment to be made will be to verify if on the basis of applicable Colombian regulations the environmental license can continue to be exercised as is and on the basis of the principle of presumption of its legality. In addition, CEMEX Colombia has also confirmed it will need to modify the environmental license as to allow it to increase the production up to the 950.000 tons per year of required mineral exploitation. It is possible this process could also be impacted by the existing eminent domain proceedings. CEMEX Colombia will continue to work to address these matters as promptly as possible.
According to CEMEX Latam Holdings’ current estimates of consumption and market growth in Colombia, taking into account its existing capacity (not including the Maceo plant), CEMEX Latam Holdings currently expects that it should not suffer any material adverse impact to its business operations for postponing the commissioning of the Maceo plant. However, CEMEX Latam Holdings will continue to work on commissioning the plant as soon as reasonably possible in order to capture the full benefits of this state of the art facility on its operating efficiencies in Colombia and to contribute to the development of the region.

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 September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was $2,879.95 and $3,121.94 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively, and (ii) the consolidated results for the third quarter of 2016 and for the third quarter of 2015 were $2,965.17 and $3,029.69 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.”
