BOGOTA, COLOMBIA. FEBRUARY 12, 2020 CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (CLH) (BVC: CLH), announced today that its consolidated net sales reached US$237 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, a decline of 9% in U.S.-dollar terms or of 6% in local-currency terms, compared to those of the same period of 2018. Operating EBITDA reached US$53 million during the fourth quarter, a decline of 6% in U.S.-dollar terms or of 5% in local-currency terms, on a year-over-year basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, consolidated domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 3%, 13% and 10%, respectively, compared to those of the fourth quarter of 2018. Consolidated prices in local-currency terms for domestic gray cement and aggregates both increased by 1%, while for ready-mix decreased by 4%, during the quarter on a year over year basis.
Jesus Gonzalez, CEO of CLH, said, We are pleased with our results in Colombia, where our sales and EBITDA increased by 7% and 3%, respectively, during 2019 in local-currency terms. Nevertheless, our consolidated results during this period were impacted by the depreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar, and the much weaker markets in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. To respond to this challengeand as part of our A Stronger CEMEX plan in 2019we achieved recurring savings of US$20 million and dedicated our free cash flow to reduce financial debt.
Jesus Gonzalez added, During 2019 our free cash flow improved by 68%, reaching US$93 million dollars and reducing our debt by US$92 million dollars, or by 11%. Additionally, during December we refinanced the loans which matured in 2020. Now, our debt-maturity profile is more manageable, and we do not have material debt maturities until December 2022
Consolidated Corporate Results
During the fourth quarter, controlling interest net income was a loss of US$3 million, compared to a gain of US$9 million during the same quarter of 2018.

For the full year 2019, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 9%, 5%, and 1%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. We are pleased with the national cement demand in Colombia, which turned back to positive during 2019 after 3 years of declines, driven by increased activity in the infrastructure and the self-construction sectors. Our cement prices during the quarter increased by 3% sequentially and by 10% year-over-year, in local-currency terms. Our cement prices from December 2018 to December 2019 increased by 11%, in local-currency terms.

In Panama during the fourth quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 20%, 35%, and 21%, respectively, compared to those of the fourth quarter of 2018. For 2019, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 15%, 28%, and 29%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. Cement demand was weak during 2019. We estimate that national cement demand declined by 20% during the quarter and by 12% during the full year. Cement demand remained affected by high inventories in apartments and offices, as well as by the deceleration of the economy. In the infrastructure sector, cement consumption from the Corredor de las playas project was slower than expected, and the Fourth Bridge over the Canal had redesigns that delayed its construction start. Projects such as the new windfarm, the Northern Corridor highway, and the Via Transístmica, did provide volume support during the quarter. 2019 Fourth Quarter Results Page 3

For the full year 2019, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 21%, 30% and 13%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. Cement demand was weak during 2019. We estimate that national cement demand declined by 14% and 12% during the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. Cement demand was affected by the uncertainty related to the implementation of the fiscal reform, as well as by the slow execution of infrastructure projects. Our full year performance reflects a high base of comparison in 2018, as the new competitor commissioned its cement-grinding mill in July of 2018 and ramped-up volumes gradually.

For 2019, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 6%, 46%, and 27%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. In Nicaragua, national cement demand was weak during 2019 impacted by the socio-political crisis. Our cement volumes during the quarter and the full year declined by 20% and 16%, respectively, in line with the industry. However, our quarterly cement volumes improved by 6% sequentially, due to the reactivation of some highway projects and a hospital. In Guatemala, national cement demand improved in the mid-single digits during 2019, supported by vertical housing and industrial projects in Guatemala City. Our cement volumes remained flat during 2019 and declined by 3% during the quarter. During 2019, our cement volume underperformed the market due to a lower-market participation from our ready-mix business, as we focused on the most-profitable projects, and to increased imports. 2019 Fourth Quarter Results Page 4

During 2020, we expect national cement volumes to the residential sector to continue increasing in the low-single digits, supported by the self-construction and social-housing segments || Colombia – Residencial Sector Cement volumes to the self-construction segment improved during 2019, fueled by the economic recovery and remittances In the social-housing segment, indicators such as permits, launches and sales improved in the double digits during the last 6 months We estimate that national cement dispatches to this sector increased in the low-single digits during 4Q19 and full year, YoY
During 2020, we expect national cement volumes to the infrastructure sector to increase in the mid-single digits || Colombia – Infrastructure Sector We expect national cement/ready-mix demand from the 4G program to increase more than 50% in 2020 Our volumes to this sector were supported by 4G projects, as well as by projects in Bogota such as the “Salitre” water-treatment plant and the “CETIC” Hospital, among other projects across the country Infrastructure was the best-performing sector during 2019, increasing in the double digits

During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline from 11% to 13%, due to potential delays in the execution of infrastructure projects, the divestment of certain ready-mix assets to Cementos Progreso, and to challenging competitive dynamics || Panama – Sector Highlights In the infrastructure sector, the “Corredor de las Playas” highway and the Fourth Bridge over the canal should gradually ramp-up volumes We expect a moderation in the rate of decline in cement demand, driven by infrastructure projects and the social-housing segment Additionally, projects for a total of US$4 billion are expected to start. These projects include the third line of the metro, the new-electric-transmission line, the metro-line-one extension, among others

|| Costa Rica – Sector Highlights Among the most relevant infrastructure projects are: “Ruta 1: Cañas-Limonal”, “Ruta 1: Limonal-Barranca”, “Ruta 32: San Jose-Rio Frio” and the extension of “Ruta 27” We expect a gradual stabilization in national cement demand, driven by anticipated reactivation of private construction activity and the current pipeline of infrastructure projects During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline from 3% to 5%, in line with national demand

|| Nicaragua – Sector Highlights Our cement volumes during 4Q19 and the full year declined by 20% and 16%, respectively, in line with national demand. However, our quarterly cement volumes improved by 6% sequentially, due to the reactivation of some highway projects and a hospital National cement demand was weak during 2019 impacted by the socio-political crisis During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline in the mid teens, in line with national demand, due to the low visibility in government’s ability to execute infrastructure projects
|| Guatemala – Sector Highlights Our cement volumes remained flat during 2019 and declined by 3% during the quarter. The decline during 4Q19 was due to a lower-market participation from our ready-mix business, as we focused on the most-profitable projects, and to increased imports National cement demand improved in the mid-single digits during 2019, driven by the residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors We expect our cement volumes to grow in the low-single digits during 2020, in line with national demand. There is general optimism with Alejandro Giammattei, the new pro-business president

We are pleased to announce that CDP1 raised its rating of CEMEX and CLH from B in 2018 to A in 2019, in recognition of our climate-protection efforts We are working on all technical levers available in the cement sector to reduce our carbon footprint, which include: Investing in energy efficiency Using alternative fuels, where we reached a 13% substitution rate in 2019 and resulted in savings of about US$2.5 million Expanding our use of renewable energy. During 2019, 64% of our power consumption in cement came from renewable energy Decreasing our clinker factor in cement production, clinker factor reached 73% in 2019, from 79% in 1990 Offsetting emissions from our vehicle fleet by planting and maintaining trees As a result, in 2019 we reduced net CO2 emissions per cementitious product by more than 20% from 1990 levels, equivalent to the emissions generated by 100,000 cars CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs a global disclosure system for companies to manage their environmental impact || CLH was recognized for its climate-protection efforts
