CEMEX REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
MONTERREY, MEXICO, OCTOBER 26, 2011– CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX), announced today that consolidated net sales increased by 5% during the third quarter of 2011 to approximately U.S.$3.9 billion versus the comparable period in 2010. Operating EBITDA increased by 1% during the third quarter of 2011 to U.S.$658 million versus the same period in 2010.
CEMEX’s Consolidated Third-Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Highlights
 
 	•	 	The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher sales mainly from our operations in Northern Europe, South/Central America and the Caribbean, and the United States.	
 
 	•	 	The infrastructure and residential sectors were the main drivers of demand in most of our markets.	
 
 	•	 	Free cash flow after maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter was U.S.$263 million, compared with U.S.$250 million in the same quarter of 2010.	
 
 	•	 	Operating income in the third quarter increased by 7%, to U.S.$305 million, from the comparable period in 2010.	
Fernando A. González, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration, said: “This is the fourth consecutive quarter of top-line growth in our results. We also saw stable consolidated pricing on a quarter-on-quarter basis in local-currency terms. We are particularly pleased with the quarterly performance of our operations in the Northern Europe and the South, Central American and Caribbean regions.
We have raised U.S.$80 million in asset sales during the first nine months of this year and expect to raise an additional U.S.$100 to U.S.$200 million during the fourth quarter. We estimate total proceeds from asset sales will reach U.S.$1 billion by the end of 2012.
We also continue to be confident in our ability to meet all of our financial obligations. We have also prepaid all of maturities under our Financial Agreement until December 2013 and proactively bolstered our liquidity needs.”
Consolidated Corporate Results
During the third quarter of 2011, the controlling interest net loss was primarily driven by material adverse changes in the currency and equity markets. Of the U.S.$732 million year-over-year difference in controlling interest net loss, about 70% is non cash. In addition, about 85% of this difference is explained by two lines in the income statement:
 
1

 	•	 	A foreign exchange loss, which during the quarter was U.S.$217 million and due mainly to the depreciation of the Euro and the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar. Most of these losses are non-cash and are related primarily to intercompany operations; and	
 
 	•	 	A loss on financial instruments of U.S.$339 million during the quarter, related mainly to equity derivatives on CEMEX shares, and half of which is also non cash.

*	Like-to-like (“l-t-l”) percentage variations adjusted for investments/divestments and currency fluctuations.	
Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2011 increased to US$3,967 million, representing an increase of 5% compared with the third quarter of 2010, or an increase of 1% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations. The increase in consolidated net sales was due to higher sales in our Northern European, South/Central America and Caribbean, and US operations. The infrastructure and residential sectors were the main drivers of demand in most of our markets. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.8 percentage points during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was mainly the result of higher prices in our Mexican, Northern European, and South/Central America and Caribbean regions which offset the increase in fuel and raw materials costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 0.6 percentage points during the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year, from 21.6% to 22.2%. The increase in SG&A expenses during the quarter was the result of higher distribution expenses, which were partially offset by our cost reduction initiatives.
Operating EBITDA increased 1% to US$658 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year. The increase was due mainly to higher contributions from our South/Central America and Caribbean, and Northern European operations, and our cost reduction initiatives. On a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations, operating EBITDA decreased 1% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year.
Operating EBITDA margin decreased 0.6 percentage points, from 17.2% in the third quarter of 2010 to 16.6% this quarter, reflecting a change in product and geographic mix, as well as input cost inflation in excess of price increases in our cement business.
Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$93 million, which  included mainly severance payments related to our transformation process and provisions for legal settlements.
Exchange gain (loss), net, for the quarter was a loss of US$217 million, resulting mainly from the depreciation of the euro and Mexican peso against the US dollar.
Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a loss of US$339 million, resulting mainly from our equity derivatives related to CEMEX shares.
Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$822 million in the third quarter of 2011, versus a loss of US$89 million in the third quarter of 2010. This year’s loss reflects higher foreign exchange loss and higher loss in our financial instruments, which were partially offset by higher operating income.
Total debt plus perpetual notes increased US$27 million during the quarter.

CEMEX’s domestic gray cement volumes in Mexico decreased 1% during the third quarter of 2011 versus the same period last year, while ready-mix volumes increased 10% over the same period. For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes increased 1% while ready-mix volumes increased 13% versus the comparable period a year ago. Demand for building materials during the quarter was driven by the decline in volumes from the residential sector, mainly from low and middle-income housing. Performance from the self-construction sector remained flat. The infrastructure and industrial-and-commercial sectors continued with their positive trend. The industrial-and-commercial sector has been supported by construction demand from the manufacturing sector.

Domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes for CEMEX’s operations in the United States increased 2% and 9%, respectively, while aggregates volumes decreased 10% during the third quarter of 2011 versus the same period of 2010. For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates volumes decreased 4%, 5%, and 11% respectively, versus the comparable period last year. The consolidation of the Ready Mix USA joint venture as of September resulted in higher ready-mix and aggregates volumes. On a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased 3% and 8%, respectively, during the quarter and decreased 10% and 7%, respectively, for the first nine months of the year versus the comparable period last year. The increase in cement sales volumes for the quarter reflects a
slightly better performance during the period in some markets. Construction activity in the residential sector remains relatively stagnant due to excess inventory, tight credit conditions, weak job creation, and low confidence in the economic outlook. Continued weakness in state fiscal conditions and uncertainty over federal funding affected the infrastructure sector. Activity from the industrial-and-commercial sector continues to improve.

CEMEX’s domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates volumes in the United Kingdom operations decreased 4%, 1%, and 4%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2011 versus the same period in 2010. For the first nine months of the year our domestic gray cement, ready-mix, and aggregates volumes increased 5%, 12%, and 4%, respectively, versus the comparable period in the previous year. The main driver of construction activity during the quarter continued to be the infrastructure sector, although we have perceived a slowdown given public sector spending cuts. The residential market has showed little sign of improvement, as market conditions remain difficult. In addition, the industrial-and-commercial sector was adversely affected by subdued economic activity.
In CEMEX’s operations in France, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased 1% and 3%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2011 versus the same period in 2010. For the first nine months of the year, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased 12% and 10%, respectively, versus the same period last year. Demand for building materials continued to be driven by the residential sector, supported by the economic stimulus plan measures, such as social housing, tax advantages and zero-rate loans. Sales volumes from the infrastructure sector remained stable, driven mainly by private investments, which offset the drop in public investments. Increase in permits from the industrial-and-commercial sector had a positive effect on volumes for the quarter.
In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 4% during the third quarter of 2011 and 14% during the first nine months of the year versus the same periods last year. Sales volumes during the quarter were supported by acceleration in residential building permits due to historically low mortgage rates, stable construction prices, shrinking unemployment, and higher wages. Performance from the industrial-and-commercial sector benefited from the ongoing strength in the manufacturing sector as well as rising capacity utilization. Activity from the infrastructure sector had a slight decrease due to cuts in the national budget.
CEMEX’s domestic gray cement volumes in Poland increased 3% during the third quarter of 2011 and 16% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods of last year. Investment in the infrastructure sector was supported by the EU structural funds for infrastructure spending. Spending in construction of highways and express roads by the government continued. Construction permits from the industrial-and-commercial sector continued with its positive trend backed by favorable economic activity. The overall housing market in Poland continues to be stable. In addition, demand for building materials was affected by unfavorable weather conditions during the month of July. Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Northern Europe region increased 2% during the third quarter of 2011 and 12% for the first nine months of the year versus the same periods in 2010.

CEMEX’s domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes in Spain decreased 27% and 31%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period last year. For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes each decreased 12%. Volumes for the quarter continued to be affected by significantly weaker demand in all of our markets, especially in Catalonia, Aragón and Baleares. High inventory levels and lack of credit availability continued to affect the performance from the housing sector, with permits at all time low levels. Activity from the infrastructure sector remained stagnant and at very low levels due to a lack of infrastructure resources and cuts in the national budget. Demand from the industrial-and-commercial sector during the quarter remains depressed given weak domestic economic activity and tighter credit.
In CEMEX’s operations in Egypt, domestic gray cement volumes decreased 5% during the third quarter of 2011 and 4% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods of last year. During the quarter, the overall business environment continued to be challenging as a result of the ongoing political unrest. In the infrastructure sector, most of the projects are on hold due to a reduction in government expenditures. Spending from other demand segments is stagnant as a result of heightened uncertainty given the current political situation.
Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Mediterranean region decreased 14% during the third quarter of 2011 and 7% for the first nine months of the year versus the same periods in 2010.

In CEMEX’s operations in Colombia, our domestic gray cement volumes increased 8% during the third quarter of 2011 and 2% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods last year. Construction activity for the quarter was driven by the residential sector, particularly from middle and high income segments, which have benefited from stable interest rates, controlled inflation, and favorable macroeconomic conditions. In addition, a recovery in low income housing, supported by subsidies in interest rates and construction of macro projects by the government aided growth in the quarter. Construction spending in the industrial-and-commercial sector, mainly in warehouses and commercial buildings, had a positive effect on volumes for the quarter.
Our domestic gray cement volumes in the South/Central America and the Caribbean region increased 6% during the third quarter of 2011 and 5% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods of last year.

In the Philippines, CEMEX’s domestic gray cement volumes remained flat during the third quarter of 2011 and decreased 11% during the first nine months of the year compared with the same periods in 2010. The decline was driven by election related spending last year, as well as the lack of government spending year to date. The current administration’s anti-corruption efforts have resulted in a very deliberate and stringent process for project bidding and disbursement of funds, causing delays to infrastructure plans, including the implementation of public-private partnership projects. In addition, unfavorable weather conditions in many regions of the country hampered construction activity during the quarter. Volumes for the quarter were partially mitigated by increased demand from the residential sector, supported by remittances from overseas workers, and by the demand for office space from the industrial-and-commercial sector, sustained by the business process outsourcing industry in the country.
Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Asia region increased 1% during the third quarter of 2011 and decreased 6% during the first nine months of 2011 versus the comparable periods of last year.

Fair market values should not be viewed in isolation, but in CEMEX’s rather in exposure to the risks being hedged.
Note: Under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“Mexican FRS”), companies are required to recognize all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at their estimated fair market value, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for cash-flow-hedging purposes, in which case changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and then reclassified into earnings as the inverse effects of the underlying hedged items flow through the income statement. As of September 30, 2011, in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX had recognized increases in assets and liabilities resulting in a net asset of US$91 million, which according to our financial agreements, is presented net of the assets associated with the derivative instruments.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
CEMEX completes roll-over of securitization of accounts receivables program in Mexico
On August 9, 2011, CEMEX announced that it successfully rolled-over its securitization of accounts receivables program in Mexico. To fund the transaction, a trust (at HSBC Mexico) issued MXN$2.5 billion (approximately US$202 million using an exchange rate of MXN$12.37 per U.S. dollar) of receivables?backed bonds maturing on October 5, 2015. The sale of receivables is on a non-recourse basis and does not represent debt for CEMEX. The bonds were priced at a spread of 200 bps over the 28-day TIIE interbank rate. Proceeds of the securitization were used to fully amortize the receivables-backed bonds issued in July 2009 under the securitization program which is being rolled-over and to pay down debt.
CEMEX enhances its operations with new business process model
On September 5, 2011, CEMEX announced the successful execution of its integration to an SAP-centric enterprise platform for its operations across all business lines in Mexico, Spain and Costa Rica. This platform is already implemented in other operations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, among others. Cement, ready?mix concrete and aggregates operations are now using one of the most advanced enterprise application software available in the market, to provide more value for CEMEX’s customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders. CEMEX achieved this integration in a record time with the help of a transformation team that included key representatives of the different business operations and expert guidance from individuals in the internal CEMEX business process areas. In the following 12 months, the integration process will continue in Central and South America, Europe and Asia. During the project, CEMEX received support from its subsidiary Neoris, a global business and IT consulting firm with extensive experience in SAP integrations.
CEMEX announces progress on its affordable housing initiative
On October 13, 2011, CEMEX announced a number of developments in the progress of its affordable housing initiative, a project that was undertaken to help provide quality concrete housing to low-income families in developing countries. The housing initiative, which was launched in 2010, is defined by a two-tiered approach of providing affordable quality building solutions while also identifying adequate financial solutions to meet each family’s  needs. As part of the initiative, CEMEX housing experts have developed several prototypes of concrete houses for various types of urban and rural communities. These prototypes have been adapted to local usage and customs in different regions of developing countries. The cost of building these houses is under US$10,000, including finishes, fixtures, and equipment. CEMEX is also working with various institutions to obtain suitable financial product fees and payment terms for the beneficiaries. As of today, CEMEX has implemented 30 housing projects under this initiative in coordination with third-party developers in five countries and the  expectation is to have approximately 5,000 homes built by the end of 2011. As a result of the worldwide housing deficit an estimated 1.1 billion people in urban areas live in inadequate housing. Mitigating the deficit is a challenge that requires joint action between governments, financial institutions, NGOs, and private enterprises. CEMEX has already collaborated with a number of important international, federal, state and local organizations to provide such affordable housing.
Texas General Land Office Litigation
The Texas General Land Office (“GLO”) alleged that CEMEX failed to pay approximately U.S.$550 million in royalties related to mining by CEMEX and its predecessors since the 1940s on lands that, when transferred originally by the State of Texas, contained a reservation of mineral rights. The petition filed by the GLO also states that the state is seeking injunctive relief, although the state has not acted on such request. On December 17, 2009, the Texas court handling this matter granted CEMEX’s motion for summary judgment, finding that the GLO’s claims had no merit. The GLO filed a Motion for reconsideration that was denied by the court. The GLO then appealed the El Paso Court of Appeals, and on August 31, 2011, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s judgment and rendered judgment in favor of the state with respect to the ownership of the mineral rights on the lands mined by CEMEX and its predecessors in interest. CEMEX intends to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision with respect to the ownership of the mineral rights to the Texas Supreme Court and will continue to vigorously defend the claim.
Antitrust Investigations in Mexico
In January and March 2009, we were notified of two findings of presumptive responsibility against CEMEX issued by the Mexican Competition Authority (Comisión Federal de Competencia or “CFC”), alleging certain violations of Mexican antitrust laws. We believe these findings contain substantial violations of rights granted to us by the Mexican Constitution. With respect to the second case (the one that we were notified of in March 2009), on October 14, 2011, the CFC determined to close the case due to a lack of evidence sufficient to impose sanctions. The first case (the one that we were notified of in January 2009) remains ongoing.
Acquisition of Ready Mix USA LLC
In connection with CEMEX’s joint ventures with Ready Mix USA: a) CEMEX Southeast, LLC, the joint venture which had been owned 50.01% by CEMEX; and b) Ready Mix USA LLC, the joint venture which had been owned by Ready Mix USA, on September 30, 2010, Ready Mix USA exercised its put option. On August 1, 2011, after performance of the obligations by both parties under the put option agreement, CEMEX acquired its partner’s interests in Ready Mix USA LLC and CEMEX Southeast LLC in exchange for approximately US$352 million and the assumption of approximately US$28 million in net debt. CEMEX´s consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of operations as of and for the period ended September 30, 2011 include the balances of Ready Mix USA LLC as of September 30, 2011 and the results of operations for the two-month period ended September 30, 2011. There is no goodwill arising from the transaction since, under Mexican FRS, in transactions between joint venture partners, any difference between the purchase price paid and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired should be recognized directly in equity. At the date of this report, CEMEX is in the process of determining the fair value of the net assets acquired, and expects to finalize such process during the fourth quarter of 2011.

OTHER INFORMATION
Mexican Tax Reform 2010
In November 2009, the Mexican Congress approved amendments to the income tax law that became effective on January 1, 2010. The new law included changes to the tax consolidation regime that will require CEMEX, among other things, to determine income taxes as if the tax consolidation provisions in Mexico did not exist from 1999 onward. These changes also required the payment of taxes on dividends between entities of the tax consolidation group (specifically, dividends paid from profits that were not taxed in the past), certain special items in the tax consolidation, as well as tax loss carryforwards generated by entities within the consolidated tax group that should have been recovered by such individual entities over the succeeding 10 years. This new law increased the statutory income tax rate from 28% to 30% for the years 2010 to 2012, 29% for 2013, and decreasing it to 28% for 2014 and future years. Pursuant to the new tax law, the parent company was required to pay in 2010 (at the new 30% tax rate) 25% of the tax resulting from eliminating the tax consolidation effects from 1999 to 2004. The remaining 75% is required to be paid as follows: 25% in 2011, 20% in 2012, 15% in 2013, and 15% in 2014. With respect to the consolidation effects originated after 2004, these should be considered during the sixth fiscal year following their origination and will be payable over the succeeding five years in the same proportions (25%, 25%, 20%, 15%, and 15%), and, in relation to this, the consolidation effect for 2005 has already been notified to CEMEX and considered. Applicable taxes payable as a result of the changes to the tax consolidation regime will be increased by inflation, as required by the Mexican income tax law. As of December 31, 2009, based on Interpretation 18, the parent company recognized the nominal value of estimated taxes payable in connection with the aforementioned amendments in the law for approximately US$799 million. This amount was recognized by the parent company as a tax payable on its balance sheet against “Other non-current assets” for approximately US$628 million, in connection with the net liability recognized before the new tax law and that the parent company expects to realize in connection with thepayment of this tax liability; and approximately US$171 million against “Retained earnings” for the portion, according to the new law,  related to: a) the difference between the sum of the equity of the controlled entities for tax purposes and the equity for tax purposes of the consolidated entity; b) dividends from the controlled entities for tax purposes to CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.; and c) other transactions between the companies included in the tax consolidation that represented the transfer of resources within such group. In December 2010, pursuant to additional rules, the tax authorities eliminated certain aspects of the law related to the taxable amount for the difference between the sum of the equity of the controlled entities for tax purposes and the equity for tax purposes of the consolidated entity. As a result, the parent company reduced its estimated tax payable by approximately US$235 million against a credit to “Retained earnings.” In 2010, changes in the parent company’s tax payable associated to the tax consolidation in Mexico are as follows (approximate US$ Millions):
2010
Balance at the beginning of the period $846
Income tax received from subsidiaries $180
Restatement for the period $26
Payments during the period ($23)
Deduction associated with additional tax rules ($210)
Other ($92)
Balance at the end of the period $727
As of December 31, 2010, the balance of tax loss carryforwards that have not been considered in the tax consolidation was approximately US$463 million. As of December 31, 2010, the estimated payment schedule of taxes payable resulting from changes in the tax consolidation regime in Mexico were as follows (approximate amounts in millions of US dollars):
2011 $43*
2012 $48
2013 $48
2014 $139
2015 $147
2016 and thereafter $302
$727
* The payment for 2011 was made on March 31, 2011 in the amount of Ps506 million, equivalent to approximately US$42.52 million. This payment included 25% of the amount that corresponds to the year 2005.

Migration of CEMEX to International Financial Reporting Standards in 2012
Based on requirements issued in 2009 by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission, all entities that trade their securities on the Mexican
Stock Exchange must adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards  (“IFRS”) for the preparation of their consolidated financial statements no later than January 1, 2012. CEMEX began planning its IFRS migration process during the last quarter of 2009. In summary, the status of CEMEX’s IFRS migration process as of September 30, 2011, was as follows:
Stage 1. Communicationto the organization and IFRS training
Activities undertaken and finalized between November 2009 and June 2010. Jointly with its external consultants for the IFRS migration project, CEMEX designed and implemented specific IFRS training programs for the team involved directly in the generation of financial information, the corporate support team, and the personnel in the Business Units. These training programs consisted of: a) mandatory self?training based on a specialized intranet; b) training based in webcasts oriented to a wide-range of personnel, by means of which, experts covered a variety of significant topics for CEMEX; and c) face?to?face training sessions for key personnel directly involved in the determination and quantification of the main differences between IFRS and Mexican FRS.
Stage 2. Evaluationof accounting and business impacts
CEMEX concluded the documentation phase of this stage in November 2010. CEMEX elected to prepare its initial balance sheet under IFRS as of January 1, 2010, in order to report three years of operations under IFRS at the 2012 year end. Based on IFRS 1, “IFRS First Time Adoption,” for purposes of the initial balance sheet, external appraisers are currently finalizing the valuation of CEMEX’s main fixed assets at fair value. As allowed by IFRS 1, CEMEX elected not to revisit the accounting treatment of business acquisitions made before January 1, 2010.
As of September 30, 2011, CEMEX has concluded its initial balance sheet under IFRS. With the information available, the expected main impacts by line item of the consolidated balance sheet as of January
1, 2010, are as follows:
No. Account Type Explanation
1 Accounts Asset An increase in both
receivables / Other Liability accounts is expected as a
financial result of the current
obligations securitization programs,
which are not expected to
comply with all the IFRS
39 derecognition
requirements;
consequently, any
resources obtained under
these programs would be
recognized against a
liability.
2 Inventories Asset Based on IFRS, a small
decrease resulted from
certain spare parts that
were reclassified to fixed
assets.
3 Fixed Assets Asset The valuation of CEMEX´s
major fixed assets at fair
value generated the most
significant increase in the
consolidated balance
sheet as of the transition
date.
4 Other Intangible Asset An increase in this
Assets account results mainly
from the reclassification
of mining rights that were
previously recognized
within fixed assets.
5 Employee benefits Liability At the transition date, all
actuarial gains or losses
under deferral were fully
amortized against equity,
causing an increase in the
liability.
6 Deferred income Liability The balance increased at
taxes the transition date mainly
due to an increase in fixed
assets as mentioned
above.
7 Stockholders´Equity Equity Based on IFRS 1, most
IFRS first time adoption
effects at the transition
date were recognized
directly against retained
earnings, such as the
fixed assets revaluation,
net of their deferred
taxed effect, etc.
Finally, to conclude the Stage 2, CEMEX now expects to complete the adaptation of its transactional systems for the ongoing generation of information under IFRS during the fourth quarter 2011.
Stage 3. Parallelfinancial information generation under IFRS
During the third and fourth quarter of 2011, CEMEX will undertake the preparation of its consolidated financial statements under IFRS for the years 2010 and 2011. As of September 30, 2011, this process was approximately 50% of complete. Considering the effects determined in CEMEX’s initial IFRS balance sheet, the expected main impacts as a result of the revaluation of its main fixed assets to fair value are increases in the non-cash depreciation and depletion amounts in CEMEX’s IFRS statements of operations for the year 2010 and each year thereafter, as compared to those previously reported under Mexican FRS.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of results
Under MFRS, beginning January 1, 2008, CEMEX translates the financial  statements of those foreign subsidiaries operating in low-inflation environments using exchange rates at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement, while for foreign subsidiaries operating in high-inflation environments, CEMEX uses the exchange rates at the reporting date for the balance sheet and income statement. CEMEX reports its consolidated results in Mexican pesos.
For the reader’s convenience, beginning June 30, 2008, US dollar amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the nominal Mexican peso amounts at the end of each quarter using the average MXN/US$ exchange rate for each quarter. The exchange rates used to convert results for third quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010 are 12.65 and 12.82 Mexican pesos per US dollar, respectively.
Per-country/region figures are presented in US dollars for the reader’s convenience. Figures presented in US dollars for Mexico as of June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, can be converted into their original local currency amount by multiplying the US-dollar figure by  the corresponding average exchange rates for 2011 and 2010, provided below.
Breakdown of regions
Northern Europe includes operations in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, and the United Kingdom, as well as trading operations in several Nordic countries.
