Exhibit 99.1

Cemex to divest its operations in the Dominican Republic

Monterrey, Mexico. August 5, 2024 – Cemex announced today that an agreement has been signed for the sale of its operations in the Dominican Republic, for a total consideration of approximately US$950 million. The transaction includes export businesses to Haiti.

The agreement has been signed between a Spanish subsidiary of Cemex, as seller, and Cementos Progreso Holdings, S.L., through a subsidiary, and its strategic partners, as buyers.

The divested assets mainly consist of one cement plant in the Dominican Republic consisting of two integrated production lines and related cement, concrete, aggregates and marine terminal assets. The Dominican Republic operation is one of the leading cement players in the Caribbean region.

“This transaction advances us significantly in our portfolio rebalancing strategy which is focused on reducing our exposure in Emerging Markets and redeploying capital into growth investments in priority markets, primarily the U.S.” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of Cemex.

The divestment is subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. Cemex currently expects to finalize this transaction during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Proceeds from this divestment are expected to be used to fund the company’s bolt-on investment growth strategy in its key markets, particularly the U.S., and other corporate purposes.

J.P. Morgan and Lazard are serving as financial advisors to Cemex.

Many factors could cause Cemex’s expectations and/or expected results expressed in this press release not being reached and/or not producing the expected benefits and/or results, including the divestiture of these assets not closing on the expected dates or at all. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from historical results, performance, or achievements and/or results, performance or achievements expressly or implicitly anticipated by the forward-looking statements, or otherwise could have an impact on us or our consolidated entities. Forward-looking statements should not be considered guarantees of future performance, nor the results or developments are indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
