Shares outstanding at the end of period are presented in millions. Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2013 increased to US$474 million, representing an 18% growth when compared to the pro forma third quarter of 2012. The increase in net sales is mainly explained by higher construction activity driving strong volume growth during the third quarter, along with the contribution from our housing solutions projects in Colombia. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales declined by 1.0pp during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the same period last year, from 50.8% to 49.8%. This resulted mainly from a decline in maintenance and fuel costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.5pp during the third quarter from 21.1% to 19.6%, compared with the same period a year ago, on a pro forma basis. This decline is mainly explained by lower distribution expenses and the effect on sales of our housing solutions initiative. Operating EBITDA during the third quarter reached US$168 million, increasing by 24% compared to the pro forma third quarter of 2012. This improvement was driven by a positive performance in most of our markets. Operating EBITDA margin during the third quarter increased 1.7pp, compared to the third quarter on a pro forma basis, reaching 35.5%, mainly as a result of higher volumes, as well as lower distribution expenses, lower maintenance costs and lower fuel costs. Controlling interest net income during the third quarter of 2013 reached US$96 million. Total debt at the end of the third quarter of 2013 was US$1,424 million.

OTHER ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION Antitrust Investigation in Colombia On September 5, 2013, CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (“CLH”) (BVC: CLH) informed the Colombian Financial Superintendency (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) that on that same date, CEMEX Colombia S.A. (“CEMEX Colombia”), a subsidiary of CLH, was notified of Resolution No. 49141 dated August 21, 2013, issued by the Colombian Superintendency of Industry and Commerce, SIC, (Superintendencia de Industriay Comercio) pursuant to which the SIC opened an investigation and issued a statement of objections (pliego de cargos) against five (5) cement companies and fourteen (14) directors of those companies, including CEMEX Colombia, for alleged anti-competitive practices. The parties being investigated have a twenty (20) day term commencing from the notice date to answer the statement of objections (pliego de cargos) and submit evidence. The investigated parties are accused of allegedly breaching: (i) Article 1 of Law 155 of 1959, which prohibits any kind of practice, procedure or system designed to limit free competition and determining or maintaining unfair prices; (ii) paragraph 1 of Article 47 of Decree 2153 of 1992, which prohibits any agreements designed to directly or indirectly fix prices; and (iii) paragraph 3 of Article 47 of Decree 2153 of 1992, which prohibits any market sharing agreements between producers or between distributors. Additionally, the fourteen (14) executives, including a former legal representative and the current President of CEMEX Colombia, are being investigated for allegedly breaching paragraph 16 of Article 4 of Decree 2153 of 1992, as amended by Article 26 of Law 1340 of 2009, which provides that the SIC may investigate and sanction any individual who collaborates, facilitates, authorizes, executes or tolerates behavior that violates free competition rules. If the alleged infringements investigated by the SIC are substantiated, aside from any measures that could be ordered to stop the alleged anti-competitive practices, penalties may be imposed against CEMEX Colombia. Pursuant to Law 1340 of 2009, the SIC may impose the following penalties: (i) up to one hundred thousand (100,000) legal monthly minimum wages, approximately 58,950,000,000 Colombian Pesos (approximately U.S.$30.8 million as of September 30, 2013, based on an exchange rate of 1,914.65 Colombian Pesos to U.S.$1.00) for each violation and to each company being declared in breach of the competition rules, and (ii) up to two thousand (2,000) legal monthly minimum wages, approximately 1,179,000,000 Colombian Pesos (approximately U.S.$616,000 as of September 30, 2013, based on an exchange rate of 1,914.65 Colombian Pesos to U.S.$1.00) against those individuals found responsible of collaborating, facilitating, authorizing, executing or tolerating behavior that violates free competition rules. At this stage of the investigations, CLH is not able to assess the likelihood of an adverse result, but if adversely resolved against CEMEX Colombia, such resolution may have a material adverse impact on CLH’s financial results. Tax Proceedings in Colombia Regarding the proceedings (requerimientos especiales) initiated by the Colombian Tax Authority (Dirección de Impuestos) in relation to CEMEX Colombia’s 2007 and 2008 year-end tax returns, during the second quarter of 2013, CEMEX Colombia reached a settlement with the Colombian Tax Authority (Dirección de Impuestos). On August 26, 2013, CEMEX Colombia received the final resolution regarding the 2007 year-end tax return and on September 16, 2013, CEMEX Colombia received the final resolution regarding the 2008 year-end tax return.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES Methodology for translation and presentation of results Under IFRS, CLH reports its consolidated results in its functional currency, which is the US Dollar, by translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using the corresponding exchange rate at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the corresponding exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement. For the reader’s convenience, Colombian peso amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the US dollar amounts using the closing COP/US$ exchange rate at the reporting date for balance sheet purposes, and the average COP/US$ exchange rate for the corresponding period for income statement purposes. The exchange rates used to convert: (i) the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 was $1,914.65 Colombian pesos per US dollar, and (ii) the consolidated results for the third quarter of 2013 and pro forma combined result for the third quarter of 2012 were $1,913.47 and $1,806.68 Colombian pesos per US dollar, respectively. Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.” Consolidated and combined financial information When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries. When reference is made to combined financial information means the financial information of CLH’s subsidiaries on a combined basis. Presentation of financial and operating information Individual information is provided for Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. Countries in Rest of CLH include Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Brazil. Pro forma financial information included in the report CLH was incorporated during the second quarter of 2012 for purposes of the initial equity offering concluded on November 15, 2012. For accounting purposes, the group reorganization pursuant to which CLH acquired its consolidated subsidiaries was effective July 1, 2012. As a result, CLH has no historical consolidated financial information for the first and second quarter of 2012. For convenience of the reader, and in order to present comprehensive comparative operating information for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2013, CLH prepared pro forma selected consolidated income statement information for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2012, intended in all cases and to the extent possible, to present the operating performance of CLH on a like-to-like basis. Pro forma year-to-date and third quarter 2012: CLH selected consolidated income statement information for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2012, was determined by reflecting the original results of the operating subsidiaries for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2012. In addition, in connection with the 5% corporate charges and royalties agreements entered into by CLH with CEMEX and that was executed during the last quarter of 2012 with retroactive effects for full year 2012, the consolidated pro forma condensed income statement information of CLH for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was adjusted to reflect the 5% consolidated corporate charges and royalties. CLH will continue to present pro forma amounts during 2013 in connection with the quarterly comparative information of 2012, in order to reflect the effect of the 5% royalty agreement allocated to each quarter.
