(1)For 2012 and 2011, the effects on the denominator and numerator of potential dilutive shares

generate anti dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted loss per share.

Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2012 decreased to US$3,899 million, representing a

decline of 2% compared with the third quarter of 2011, or an increase of 2% on a like to like basis

for the ongoing operations and for foreign exchange fluctuations. The like to like increase in

consolidated net sales was due to higher prices in local currency terms in most of our regions partially

mitigated by lower volumes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean operations.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.1pp during the third quarter of 2012

compared to the same period last year. The decrease was mainly the result of savings

from our cost reduction initiatives and lower fuel costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by

1.8pp during the third quarter of 2012 compared with the same period last year, from 22.0% to 20.2%.

The decrease in SG&A expenses during the quarter was mainly due to savings from our cost reduction initiatives.

Operating EBITDA increased by 9% to US$730 million during the third quarter of 2012 compared

with the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher contributions from Mexico,

U.S., and the South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia regions, as well as our cost

reduction initiatives. On a like to like basis for the ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign

exchange fluctuations, operating EBITDA increased by 13% in the third quarter of 2012 compared

with the same period last year. Operating EBITDA margin increased by 1.8pp from 16.9% in the

third quarter of 2011 to 18.7% this quarter, mainly as a result of savings from our cost reduction

initiatives, as well as higher prices in local currency terms in most of our regions, partially

mitigated by lower volumes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean operations.

Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$168 million, which included mainly a provision related

to the implementation phase of the outsourcing agreement for back office services as well as impairments of fixed assets.

Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a gain of US$19 million, resulting mainly

from our equity derivatives related to CEMEX shares.

Controlling interest net income (loss) was a loss of US$203 million in the third quarter of 2012,

versus a loss of US$730 million in the same quarter of 2011. The smaller quarterly loss is primarily

due to a higher operating income, a lower foreign exchange loss and a gain on financial instruments

versus a loss in the third quarter of 2011; all of them partially mitigated by an increase in other expenses, net.

Total debt plus perpetual notes increased by US$14 million during the quarter.

Our Mexican operations’ domestic gray cement volumes increased by 4% during the quarter versus the same period last year, while ready mix volumes remained flat during the same period. During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes increased by 1% while ready mix volumes declined by 4% versus the comparable period a year ago.

During the quarter, bulk cement and ready mix volumes were affected by lower than expected infrastructure activity in cement intensive projects and a weak formal residential sector. The decline in volumes in the formal residential s

ctor reflects the continued working capital financing constra

nts faced by homebuilders. Favorable performance from the infor

mal residential and industrial and commercial sectors mitigated declines in these sectors.

Domestic gray cement, ready mix and aggregates volumes for CEMEX’s operations in the

United States increased by 8%, 13% and 14%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period last yea

r. During the first nine months of the year and on a year over year basis, domestic gray cement,

ready mix and aggregates increased by 16%, 24% and 11%, respectively. On a like to like basis

for the ongoing operations, ready mix and aggregates volumes increased by 16% and 10%, respectively,

during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable period in 2011. Sales volumes for the

quarter reflect an improved demand in most of our markets and regions. Activity from the residential

sector continues its positive trend. The industrial and commercial sector also shows a strong

performance driven by the manufacturing, lo

dging, office and commercial segments.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Northern Europe region decreased by 11% during

the third quarter of 2012 and decreased by 13% during the first nine months of the year versus the same periods in 2011.

In the United Kingdom, during the quarter and on a year over year basis, volumes for domestic gray cement, ready mix and aggregates decreased by 5%, 10% and 10%, respectively. For the first nine months

of the year our domestic gray cement volumes, ready mix and aggregates declined by 9%, 14% and 13%, respectively, versus the comparable period in the previous year.

The deteriorating macroeconomic conditions have impacted the construction sector in the country. The year over year decrease in volumes in the quarter reflects continued adverse weather conditions as well as some slowdown due to the celebration of the Olympics.

In our operations in France, domestic ready mix volumes decreased by 3% and our aggregates volumes declined by 2% during the third quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period last year. During the first nine months of the year, ready mix volumes decreased by 4% and our aggregates volumes declined by 5%, on a year over year basis. The economic slowdown and adverse weather conditions during the months of July and August affected the construction activity for the quarter. Difficulty to obtain credit for household and the elimination of tax incentives caused a decline in the residential sector. The infrastructure sector continues to be supported by ongoing projects.

In Germany, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 10% during the third quarter and decreased by 13% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. The residential sector continued to be the main driver of demand. Adverse weather conditions during the first quarter and overall bottlenecks in the construction industry have affected construction work and increased the backlog of projects.

Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Poland declined by 10% during the quarter and by 12% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. During the quarter, within a context of tight fiscal consolidation, infrastructure spending declined particularly from a very high consumption base in 2011, as road and sports infrastructure projects built in anticipation to the EURO 2012 championship came to an end.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Mediterranean region decreased by 20% during the third quarter and decreased by 20% during the first nine months of the year versus the same periods in 2011.

Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Spain decreased by 41% and our ready mix volumes declined by 45% on a year over year basis during the quarter. For the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 42%, while ready mix volumes declined by 46% compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease in volumes for building materials during the quarter reflects the continued weak demand from all segments. Economic uncertainty, limited credit availability and high inventories continue to affect the performance of the residential sector. Continued focus of the government on fiscal austerity keeps infrastructure spending at very low levels.

In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 10% during the third quarter of 2012 and decreased by 10% during the first nine months of the year versus the comparable periods in 2011. The main driver of demand continues to be the informal residential sector. Infrastructure spending is minimal.

Domestic gray cement volumes for our operations in Colombia remained flat during the third quarter and increased by 6% during the first nine months of the year on a year over year basis. Our quarterly cement volumes reflect two fewer business days versus third quarter 2011 as well as increased cement pre ordering in anticipation to the July price increase. The industrial and commercial sector continued with its positive trend, especially in the construction of hotels, and shopping centers. Infrastructure projects at the local level have been limited as new governors and mayors have recently taken office in different entities. Government projects at the federal level continue.

EQUITY RELATED AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS INFORMATION

Equity related information

One CEMEX ADS represents ten CEMEX CPOs. The following amounts are expressed in CPO terms.

Beginning of quarter CPO equivalent units outstanding 10,880,317,265

Stock based compensation 36,892,479

End of quarter CPO equivalent units outstanding 10,917,209,744

Outstanding units equal total CPOs issued by CEMEX less CPOs held in subsidiaries. CEMEX has outstanding mandatory convertible notes which, upon conversion, will increase the number of CPOs outstanding by

approximately 194 million, subject to antidilution adjustments.

Employee long term compensation plans

As of September 30, 2012, executives had outstanding options on a total of 11,992,356 CPOs, with a weighted average strike

price of approximately US$1.40 per CPO (equivalent to US$13.99 per ADS). Starting in 2005, CEMEX began offering

executives a restricted stock ownership program. As of September 30, 2012, our executives held 31,613,700 restricted CPOs,

representing 0.3% of our total CPOs outstanding as of such date.

Derivative instruments

The following table shows the notional amount for each type of derivative instrument and the aggregate fair market value for all

of CEMEX’s derivative instruments as of the last day of each quarter presented.

Estimated aggregate fair market value (1) (2) (4) (5) (57) 2 (11)

In millions of US dollars.

The estimated aggregate fair market value represents the approximate settlement result as of the valuation date, based upon

quoted market prices and estimated settlement costs, which fluctuate over time. Fair market values and notional amounts do not

represent amounts of cash currently exchanged between the parties; cash amounts will be determined upon termination of the contrac

ts considering the notional amounts and quoted market prices as well as other derivative items as of the settlement date. Fair market

values should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair market values of the underlying hedge transactions and the

overall reduction in CEMEX’s exposure to the risks being hedged.

Note: Under IFRS, 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, 2012,

in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and

liabilities resulting in a net a liability of US$3 million, including a liability of US$232 million corresponding to an equity embedded derivative related to our convertible notes, which according to our debt agreements, is presented net of the assets associated with the derivative instruments. The notional amounts of derivatives substantially match the amounts of underlying assets, liabilities, or equity transactions on which the derivatives are being entered into.

(1)Excludes an interest rate swap related to our long term energy contracts. As of September 30, 2012, the notional amount of this derivative was US$185 million, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$52 million.

(2)Excludes two exchange rate derivatives, as of September 30, 2012, the notional amount of both derivatives were US$100, with a positive fair market value of approximately US$1 million.

(3)Includes a notional amount of US$360 million in connection with a guarantee by CEMEX of a financial transaction entered into by its employees’ pension fund trust. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of this financial guarantee represented a liability of US$38 million, which is net of a collateral deposit of US$126 million.

(4) Net of a cash collateral deposited under open positions. Cash collateral was US$140 million as of September 30, 2012.

(5)Includes, as required by IFRS, changes in fair value of conversion call options embedded in CEMEX’s convertible notes, representing as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 US$232 million and US$26 million, respectively.

CEMEX announces pricing of U.S.$1.5 billion in senior secured notes

On October 4, 2012, CEMEX announced the pricing of U.S.$1.5 billion

aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”)

denominated in U.S. dollars. The Notes issued by CEMEX Finance LLC

bear interest at an annual rate of 9.375% and mature in 2022. The Notes

were issued at par and will be callable commencing on their 5th

anniversary. The closing of the offering occurred on October 12, 2012.

CEMEX intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to prepay

principal outstanding under CEMEX’s Facilities Agreement, dated

September 17, 2012, thereby allowing CEMEX to satisfy the March 31,

2013 U.S.$1.0 billion prepayment milestone and the February 14, 2014

U.S.$500 million amortization payment thereunder. These payments will

reduce the interest rate on the Facilities Agreement debt by 25 basis

points. The Notes share in the collateral pledged for the benefit of the

lenders under the Facilities Agreement and other secured obligations

having the benefit of such collateral, and are guaranteed by CEMEX,

CEMEX México, S.A. de C.V., CEMEX España, S.A., CEMEX Corp., CEMEX

Concretos, S.A. de C.V., Empresas Tolteca de México, S.A. de C.V., New

CEMEX introduces Fortium ICF

On September 25, 2012, CEMEX and CEMEX USA, announced the launch

in the United States of Fortium ICF, a new construction material

specifically engineered to reduce the time and material needed to build

vertical concrete wall systems, such as Insulated Concrete Form (ICF)

building envelopes, while providing substantial savings in long term

maintenance and energy costs. Fortium ICF employs cutting edge

advancements in mineralogy and nanotechnology to improve the

performance of concrete at a microscopic level, and eliminates fully up to

75% of the steel reinforcement typically required for vertical concrete

construction. The result is a concrete structure that is built 50% faster

with turn key savings of over 32% compared to traditional ICF

construction. As CEMEX’s most recent addition to its growing portfolio of

products and initiatives that significantly reduce environmental impacts,

Fortium ICF is a product that delivers energy and CO2 savings. Each home

built with Fortium ICF reduces building emissions by a total of 170 metric

tons of CO2 over the course of 30 years.

CEMEX to increase cement production capacity in The Philippines

On September 17, 2012, CEMEX announced that it is planning to expand

the cement production capacity of its APO plant in the Philippines by 1.5

million metric tons per year. Through an investment of approximately

US$65 million, the company will increase production and strengthen its

distribution network to better serve high demand areas throughout the

country. The increase is expected to be operational by the first quarter of

2014. With this new investment, CEMEX will keep pace with the

Philippines market’s rapid growth. The country registered a gross

domestic product growth of 6.1% in the first half of 2012, according to

the National Statistical Coordination Board. The Metropolitan Manila

Development Authority has begun multiple infrastructure projects as the

country recovers from damage caused by extreme weather conditions.

CEMEX announces successful completion of refinancing

On September 17, 2012, CEMEX announced that it has successfully

completed the previously announced refinancing of its Financing

Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009, as amended. Pursuant to the

refinancing, participating creditors representing approximately 92.7% of

the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the existing Financing

Agreement agreed to extinguish their existing loans and private

placement notes and to receive in place thereof:

approximately U.S.$6.155 billion in aggregate principal amount of

new loans and new U.S. Dollar private placement notes issued

pursuant to a New Facilities Agreement and a New Note Purchase

Agreement, both dated as of September 17, 2012; and

U.S.$500 million of new 9.5% senior secured notes due 2018,

issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 17, 2012,

which notes were delivered by the exchange agent to recipients.

As a result of the refinancing, the New Facilities Agreement, with a final

maturity of February 14, 2017, the principal terms of which were

previously announced in CEMEX’s press release dated June 29, 2012,

became effective on September 17, 2012. Also, approximately U.S.$525

million aggregate principal amount of loans and U.S. Dollar private

placement notes remain outstanding under the original Financing

Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to the terms of the

exchange offer, and the Note Purchase Agreement, each with a final

maturity of February 14, 2014.

Mexico. This application is one component of the previously announced

asset sale alternatives CEMEX is pursuing in connection with its ongoing

initiative to reduce debt and extend its debt maturities. CEMEX continues

to pursue its previously announced asset sale alternatives, and ultimate

implementation of any of such alternatives (which include the potential

sales of: (i) a minority stake in operations in select countries; (ii) selected

U.S. assets; (iii) selected European assets; and/or (iv) other non core

assets) remains at the discretion of CEMEX.

CEMEX signs strategic agreement with IBM to provide business process

generate CEMEX savings of close to US$1 billion during the life of the

contract. Additionally, it will improve the quality of the services provided

to CEMEX; enhance business agility and scalability; maximize internal

efficiencies; and allow the company to better serve its customers. The

10 year services contract awarded to IBM is worth just over US$1 billion,

and will include: finance and accounting, and human resource back office

services, as well as IT infrastructure, application development and

maintenance services. Together, IBM and CEMEX will implement state ofthe

art business processes, practices, and information systems developed

CEMEX launches its new global ready mix concrete brand: Insularis

On July 26, 2012, CEMEX announced the launch of its latest global readymix

concrete brand, Insularis. This new brand offers a portfolio of

construction solutions and ready mix concrete products designed to

improve the energy efficiency of buildings—intensifying the company’s

commitment to bring about industry transforming sustainable

construction practices. One unique construction solution under the

Insularis brand portfolio is a special ready mix concrete product created

by integrating innovative concrete technologies with a proprietary

construction system. This innovation makes it possible to offer a 100%

structural light weight ready mix concrete solution with superior thermal

insulation that very effectively reduces thermal bridges and improves

acoustic performance. Another important feature of Insularis ready mix

concretes is their fresh properties, including self compacting, high

workability retention of at least 90 minutes and easy to pump. These

qualities are made possible due to tailor designed proprietary admixture

technologies. Insularis was developed by the CEMEX Research Group AG

in Switzerland in collaboration with CEMEX France, who played a

fundamental role in the industrialization of this construction system.

Insularis is already being offered in Mexico and France, and the

industrialization of this technology is underway in a number of CEMEX

countries.

Notes to the reconciliations from MFRS to IFRS

a) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

CEMEX has securitization programs in several countries with various

financial institutions under which, in accordance with MFRS and

considering that CEMEX surrenders control associated with the trade

receivables sold and that there is no guarantee or obligation to

reacquire the assets, the accounts receivable were removed from the

balance sheet at the moment of the sale, except for the unfunded

amounts that were reclassified to other short term accounts

receivable. IAS 39 under IFRS does not permit many securitizations to

qualify for derecognition due to some ongoing involvement that

causes entities to retain some of the risks and rewards related to the

transferred assets. Hence, under IFRS, except for non recourse

factoring transactions, CEMEX´s securitization programs of trade

accounts receivable under IFRS did not qualify for derecognition, and

the funded amount is recognized against a corresponding liability. As

of September 30, 2011 there was a net increase in short term assets of

approximately US$693 million.

b) Fair value of derivative financial instruments

IAS 39 under IFRS requires that the fair value of derivative financial

instruments should reflect the credit risk of the counterparties, in

comparison with MFRS that does not provide any related guidance. As

of September 30, 2011, the effect of including the credit risk to

CEMEX´s derivative financial instruments represented a net increase of

US$14 million in the net liability under IFRS. The corresponding effect

for the nine month and the three month periods ended September 30,

2011 represented an approximately loss of US$22 million and a gain of

US$7million, respectively.

Under IFRS, due to the functional currency of the issuer, the

conversion options embedded in CEMEX’s convertible notes are

recognized at fair value through the statements of operations. Under

MFRS, these options represented the equity components of such notes

and were not subsequently valued after initial recognition. For the

nine month and the three month periods ended September 30, 2011,

changes in fair value under IFRS of the aforementioned options

resulted in gains of approximately US$417 million and US$268 million,

respectively.

2012 Third Quarter Results Page 17

OTHER INFORMATION

c) Others

As of September 30, 2011, in order to comply with IFRS presentation

requirements that differ from MFRS, there are certain reclassifications

between line items in the balance sheet, the most significant are as

follows: a) Approximately US$221 million of extraction rights and rights

for using rented quarries were reclassified from fixed assets under MFRS

to intangible assets under IFRS; and b) Approximately US$85 million of

deferred financing costs under MFRS were reclassified to debt under

IFRS.

d) Storage costs

According to IAS 2 under IFRS, storage costs that are incurred during the

production process should be excluded from the cost of inventories and

are required to be expensed as incurred. Under MFRS, storage costs were

recognized within inventories. As of September 30, 2011, this adjustment

represented a reduction in inventory under IFRS of approximately US$1

million. The corresponding effects during the nine month and the threemonth

periods ended September 30, 2011 represented immaterial

decreases in cost of sales against inventories.

e) Property, machinery and equipment

As of September 30, 2011, resulting from the valuation of mineral

reserves, certain buildings and major machinery and equipment located

in several countries at fair value as deemed cost upon transition to IFRS,

this line item decreased approximately US$44 million under IFRS as

compared to the carrying amount that such assets had under MFRS.

Under MFRS, in order to restate certain components of the financial

statements by inflation, several CEMEX’s operations were considered as

operating in highly inflationary environments considering that the

accumulated inflation rate over the last three years exceeded 26%. Upon

transition to IFRS as of January 1, 2010 and as of September 30, 2011, the

threshold to consider whether an economy is hyperinflationary

presented when the accumulated inflation rate over the last three years

is approaching, or exceeds 100% was not reached in any country in which

CEMEX operates. Consequently, as of September 30, 2011, the

elimination under IFRS of inflation restatement effects of property,

machinery and equipment and intangible assets recognized under MFRS

resulted in a net decrease in this line item for approximately US$559

million.

For the nine month and the three month periods ended September 30,

2011, the different depreciable amounts of property, machinery and

equipment under IFRS resulting from the reconciling adjustments

described above, resulted in increases in the depreciation expense under

IFRS for approximately US$57 million and US$20 million, respectively, as

compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.

f) Intangible assets

Resulting from the identification and separation as intangible assets upon

transition to IFRS of certain extraction permits in the cement and ready

mix sectors that were recognized within goodwill under MFRS, for the

nine month and the three month periods ended September 30, 2011, the

amortization expense associated with extraction permits under IFRS

decreased by approximately US$16 million and US$4 million,

respectively, as compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.

g) Deferred financing costs

Upon transition to IFRS, deferred financing costs under MFRS associated

with CEMEX’s Financing Agreement for approximately US$514 million did

not meet all the requirements for capitalization and deferral under IAS 39

and were immediately recognized upon transition against retained

earnings, decreasing CEMEX’s deferred charges under IFRS. In connection

with this adjustment, for the nine month and the three month periods

ended September 30, 2011, the amortization of deferred financing costs

under IFRS recognized in the statements of operations decreased for

approximately US$125 million and US$40 million, respectively, as

compared to the amounts recognized under MFRS.

h) Amortized cost of debt under the Financing Agreement

As of September 30, 2011, resulting from differences in the amortized

cost of a portion of the debt included in CEMEX’s Financing Agreement

upon transition to IFRS, the balance of debt under IFRS decreased for

approximately US$6 million. For the nine month and the three month

periods ended September 30, 2011, the accretion expense of this debt

(interest expense) associated with changes in its amortized cost was

approximately US$2 million and US$0.4 million, respectively.

i) Pensions and postretirement benefits

Upon transition to IFRS, CEMEX elected to reset to zero all cumulative net

actuarial losses pending for amortization under MFRS against retained

earnings. As of September 30, 2011, in connection with this adjustment,

the employee benefits’ liability increased for approximately US$411

million as compared to the amount recognized under MFRS.

Under IFRS, termination benefits are expensed as incurred, whereas

under MFRS, such termination benefits were accrued based on actuarial

calculations of the estimated obligation. Upon transition to IFRS, the

provision under MFRS was cancelled against retained earnings. As a

result of this adjustment, as of September 30, 2011, the employee

benefits liability under IFRS decreased for approximately US$34 million.

j) Asset retirement obligations (decommissioning costs)

Upon transition to IFRS, there were certain differences between CEMEX’s

liabilities for asset retirement obligations under MFRS and those

determined under IFRS, which resulted in an increase in the liability

under IFRS against the related assets. As of September 30, 2011 as a

result of this adjustment, the liabilities for asset retirement obligations

under IFRS increased by approximately US$36 million.

k) Deferred income taxes

The different amounts of assets and liabilities under IFRS generate

changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities under IFRS as compared

to those previously recognized under MFRS. As of September 30, 2011,

the net deferred tax asset under IFRS (deferred tax assets less deferred

tax liabilities) increased for approximately US$169 million, as compared

to the net deferred tax asset previously recorded under MFRS.

l) Uncertain tax positions

Under MFRS, the income tax effects from an uncertain tax position were

recognized following a cumulative probability model; meanwhile, under

IFRS, the tax effects of a position are measured using either an expected

value approach or a single best estimate of the most likely outcome only

if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based on its technical merits

as of the reporting date. In making this assessment, CEMEX has assumed

that the tax authorities will examine each position and have full

knowledge of all relevant information. Each position has been considered

on its own, regardless of its relation to any other broader tax settlement.

The more likely than not threshold represents a positive assertion by

management that CEMEX is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax

position. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be

sustained, no benefits of the position are to be recognized. As of

September 30, 2011, resulting from the difference in the measurement

and recognition of the effects related to uncertain tax positions between

MFRS and IFRS, the provision for uncertain tax positions recorded under

IFRS increased for approximately US$522 million as compared to the

amounts recorded under MFRS. For the nine month and the three month

periods ended September 30, 2011, the income tax effects from the

uncertain tax positions under IFRS resulted in increase in the income tax

expense for approximately US$128 million and US$55 million

respectively, as compared to the amounts recorded under MFRS.

m) Ready Mix Consolidation

Considering certain potential voting rights, under IFRS, the acquisition

date of Ready Mix USA, LLC was March 31, 2011, whereas under MFRS,

CEMEX acquired Ready Mix USA, LLC on August 1, 2011 date in which

CEMEX assumed effective control. As a result of this difference, CEMEX’s

statement of operations under IFRS for the nine month and three month

period ended September 30, 2011,include results of operations of Ready

Mix USA, LLC for the same period.

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 require CEMEX to,

among other things, 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

consolidated tax 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. These amendments

increased the statutory income tax rate from 28% to 30% for the years

2010 to 2012, 29% for 2013, and decreased it to 28% for 2014 and future

years. Pursuant to these amendments, the parent company was required

to pay in 2010 (at the 30% tax rate) 25% of the tax resulting from

eliminating the tax consolidation effects from 1999 to 2004, and to pay

an additional 25% in 2011. The remaining 50% is required to be paid as

follows: 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 are 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 these amendments of 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

the payment 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 the 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 2011, changes in the parent company’s tax payable associated with

the tax consolidation in Mexico are as follows (approximate US$

Millions):

2011

Balance at the beginning of the period $727

Income tax received from subsidiaries $168

Restatement for the period $35

Payments during the period ($36)

Other ($5)

Balance at the end of the period $889

As of December 31, 2011, the balance of tax loss carryforwards that have

not been considered in the tax consolidation was approximately

US$1,038 million. As of December 31, 2011, the estimated payment

schedule of taxes payable resulting from these changes in the tax

consolidation regime in Mexico were as follows (approximate amounts in

millions of US dollars):

2012 $50*

2013 $50

2014 $143

2015 $151

2016 $127

2017 and thereafter $368

$889

* |  | This payment was done in March 2012.

Nationalization of CEMEX Venezuela

On August 18, 2008, the Government of Venezuela expropriated all

business, assets and shares of CEMEX Venezuela and took control of its

facilities. CEMEX controlled and operated CEMEX Venezuela until August

17, 2008. In October 2008, CEMEX submitted a request to the

International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”),

seeking international arbitration claiming that the nationalization and

seizure of the facilities located in Venezuela and owned by CEMEX

Venezuela did not comply with the terms of the treaty for the protection

of investments signed by the Government of Venezuela and the

Netherlands and with international law, because CEMEX had not receive

any compensation and no public purpose was proven. On November 30,

2011, following negotiations with the Government of Venezuela and its

affiliate Corporación Socialista de Cemento, S.A., a settlement agreement

was reached between CEMEX and the Government of Venezuela that

closed on December 13, 2011. Under this settlement agreement, CEMEX

received compensation for the expropriation of CEMEX Venezuela and

administrative services provided after the expropriation in the form of: (i)

a cash payment of US$240 million; and (ii) notes issued by Petróleos de

Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”), with nominal value and interest income to

maturity totaling approximately US$360 million. Additionally, as part of

the settlement, claims among all parties and their affiliates were released

and all intercompany payments due from or to CEMEX Venezuela to and

from CEMEX were cancelled, resulting in the cancellation for CEMEX of

accounts payable net of approximately US$154 million. Pursuant to this

settlement agreement, CEMEX and the government of Venezuela agreed

to withdraw the ICSID arbitration. As a result of this settlement, CEMEX

cancelled the book value of its net assets in Venezuela of approximately

US$503 million and recognized a settlement gain in the statement of

operations of approximately US$25 million, which includes the write off

of estimated currency translation effects accrued in equity.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES

Methodology for translation, consolidation, and presentation of

results

Under IFRS, beginning January 1, 2008, CEMEX translates the financial

statements of foreign subsidiaries 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. 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 the third quarter of 2012 and the third

quarter of 2011 are 13.14 and 12.65 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

September 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011, can be converted into

their original local currency amount by multiplying the US dollar figure

by the corresponding average exchange rates for 2012 and 2011,

provided below.
