BOGOTA, COLOMBIA. FEBRUARY 7, 2019 CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (CLH) (BVC: CLH), announced today that consolidated net sales reached US$260 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, a decline of 7% compared to those of the same period of 2017. Operating EBITDA reached US$55 million during the fourth quarter, 24% lower on a year-over-year basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, our consolidated domestic gray cement volumes remained flat, while our consolidated ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 7% and 16%, respectively, compared to those of the fourth quarter of 2017. Our consolidated prices in local-currency terms for domestic gray cement remained flat, and improved 1% and 5% for ready-mix and aggregates, respectively, during the quarter on a year over year basis.
Jaime Muguiro, CEO of CLH, said, In 2018 we operated in a very challenging environment as we faced lower national cement demand in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and flattish demand in Colombia. Additionally, we had a new competitor in Costa Rica and increased cement imports in Panama, as well as costs inflation, particularly in fuels and freights.
In this environment, we remained focused on the variables under our control as we improved service levels to our customers and reached high adoption rates of our CEMEX Go digital services. Also, we increased our prices in Colombia and Costa Rica. We reduced our financial expense and CAPEX, as well as managed our working capital effectively.
Our free cash flow and the proceeds from the divestment of our business in Brazil were used to reduce our net debt, which declined by 9% during 2018
Jaime Muguiro added, Regarding our operations in Colombia, we are encouraged by the improving trends in the economy and in national cement demand which increased by 4% during the fourth quarter. Our cement volumes during the fourth quarter increased by 4% year-over-year and 7% sequentially

During 2018, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 18%, 15%, and 8%, respectively, compared to those of 2017. We estimate that national-cement demand declined by around 6% during the quarter and 13% during 2018. Industry volumes were particularly low during the second quarter due to the construction-workers strike and remained quite low for the rest of the year. During 2018, improvement in infrastructure activity was more than offset by lower demand from both the residential and the industrial-and-commercial sectors, which did not improve despite a 4.3% GDP growth during 2018. In the infrastructure sector, the most relevant projects during the quarter were the Panama Northern Corridor highway, the Vía Transísmica highway, the urban renovation of Colón City, the ITSE College, as well as the metros second line. 2018 Fourth Quarter Results Page 3

For the full year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 1%, 6% and 9%, respectively, compared to those of 2017. We estimate that national cement consumption declined by 7%, both during the quarter and the full year. Increased activity in the industrial-and-commercial sector was more than offset by lower demand from the residential and infrastructure sectors.

During 2018, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 2%, 1% and 23%, respectively, compared to those of 2017. In Nicaragua, due to the economic uncertainty, private investment remains paralyzed and commercial banks continue restricting consumer-and-business credit to preserve liquidity. Our cement volumes during the quarter and the full year declined by 10% and 14%, respectively. Our sequential volumes during the quarter increased by 5% due to the acceleration of some government projects. With regards to Guatemala, we estimate that national-cement demand increased in the mid-single digits during 2018. Our cement volumes increased 7% during 2018, outperforming the industry because we are directly reaching more retailers where we have distribution capabilities, while our ready-mix volumes benefited from improved service and client coverage in Guatemala City. 2018 Fourth Quarter Results Page 4

||Colombia Residential Sector We estimate that cement dispatches to the residential sector increased in the low-single digits during 4Q18; improving cement demand particularly in the informal or self-construction segment Volumes to the social-housing segment remained relatively flat during 4Q18 however, there are encouraging signs for this segment going forward, as sales and construction permits year-to-date November 18 increased by 5% and 15%, respectively. Social housing supported by the continuation of government subsidies The mid-to-high income segment remains challenged, housing starts, sales and permits in this segment declined in the double digits year-to-date We expect industry cement volumes to the residential sector to November 18; home inventory in this segment is increase in the low-single digits during 2019, supported by the informal high at about 16 months of sales and social-housing segments 10
||Colombia Infrastructure Sector The infrastructure sector continued its positive performance during 4Q18 Our volumes to this sector were supported by the Salitre water-treatment plant, the CETIC Hospital, a group of 210 schools, and by the expansion of the San Fernando water-treatment plant We dispatched our products to 15 4G projects, including Autopista al Mar 1, Autopista al Rio Magdalena 2, Bucaramanga-Barranca-Yondó, Bucaramanga-Pamplona, Pasto-Rumichaca and Vías del NUS. We reached an estimated 36% market share in 4G volumes during 2018 Projects worth more than US$320 million were awarded in Bogotá late 2018 During 2019, we expect cement volumes to the infrastructure sector to The Alsacia-Tintal Avenue, the Rincon avenue increase in the mid-single digits. Activity in this sector should be from Boyacá to Carrera 91, three community centers and a police station; projects to start reinforced by a higher transportation-investment budget and an construction in 2019 increase in the budget of royalties from extraction activities 11

||Nicaragua Sector Highlights GDP contracted 3.5% in 2018, private investment remains paralyzed and commercial banks continue restricting consumer-and-business credit to preserve liquidity Our cement volumes during the quarter and the full year declined by 10% and 14%, respectively, our sequential volumes during the quarter increased by 5% due to the acceleration of some government projects The U.S. Government approved in December 2018 the Nica Act, law that constrains funding to Nicaragua from multilateral banks in which the U.S. participates. Government-sponsored projects should continue during the first half of the year, but there is no longer-term visibility; the self-construction sector might be the only segment supporting cement Due to the effect of the political unrest on the construction sector, we expect our consumption in the country 20 volumes in Nicaragua to decline from 10% to 20% in 2019
||Guatemala Sector Highlights Our cement and ready-mix volumes increased by 7% and 48%, respectively, during 2018 achieving record volumes in both businesses We estimate that national-cement demand increased in the mid-single digits during 2018 Our cement volumes outperformed the industry because we are directly reaching more retailers where we have distribution capabilities, while our ready-mix volumes benefited from improved service and client coverage in Guatemala City The residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main drivers of demand during the quarter, supported by vertical-housing projects and We expect our cement volumes in Guatemala to increase in the low-single digits shopping malls in Guatemala City during 2019 21
