Mediterranean Regional like-to-like gray cement volumes decreased by 3% during the quarter and by 9% during 2015 In Egypt, cement volumes during the quarter benefited from the continuity of government projects In Spain, like-to-like cement volumes declined by 10% during the quarter and by 9% for the full year, mainly reflecting our focus on more profitable volumes In Spain, like-to-like cement prices in local currency terms increased during the quarter and the full year by 6% and 11%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis, and by 1% sequentially 1 Volume-weighted, local-currency average prices

South, Central America and the Caribbean 1 Volume-weighted, local-currency average prices Increase in full-year cement volumes in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Nicaragua Increase in year-over-year regional cement pricing mainly due to higher prices in Colombia In Colombia, the decline in our cement volumes for the quarter and full year reflect a high base of comparison as well as the implementation of our pricing strategy; the residential and infrastructure activity as the main drivers In Panama, cement volumes, adjusting for the Panama Canal expansion project, were flat during 2015 Millions of US dollars Net Sales 1,894 2,195 (14%) 1% 436 514 (15%) 1% Op.

4Q15 Results

Operating EBITDA, cost of sales and operating expenses Operating EBITDA during 2015 increased by 9% on a like-to-like basis mainly due to higher contributions from Mexico, the U.S., and the Northern Europe and Asia regions Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, remained stable during the quarter and declined by 1.1pp during the year, reflecting our cost-reduction initiatives Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.3pp during the quarter mainly driven by lower distribution expenses and cost reduction initiatives Millions of US dollars 2015 2014 % var l-t-l % var 2015 2014 % var l-t-l % var Net sales 14,127 15,288 (8%) 5% 3,416 3,739 (9%) 2% Operating EBITDA 2,636 2,696 (2%) 9% 663 692 (4%) 7% as % net sales 18.7% 17.6% 1.1pp 19.4% 18.5% 0.9pp Cost of sales 9,410 10,356 9% 2,239 2,449 9% as % net sales 66.6% 67.7% 1.1pp 65.5% 65.5% 0.0pp Operating expenses 3,043 3,296 8% 767 851 10% as % net sales 21.5% 21.6% 0.1pp 22.5% 22.8% 0.3pp January - December Fourth Quarter

Free cash flow Working capital days during 2015 decreased to 20 from 27 days during 2014

Other expenses, net, during the quarter resulted in an expense of US$92 million mainly due to impairment of assets and severance payments Foreign-exchange gain of US$21 million resulting primarily from the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar partially offset by the fluctuation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar Loss on financial instruments of US$21 million related mainly to CEMEX shares Controlling interest net income of US$144 million, versus a loss of US$178 million in 4Q14, mainly reflects lower other expenses, lower loss in financial instruments, lower financial expenses, and a positive effect in discontinued operations, partially offset by lower foreign-exchange gain, lower operating earnings before other expenses, and higher non-controlling interest Other income statement items

2016 Outlook

We expect a low-single-digit increase in consolidated volumes for cement and mid-single-digit increase for both ready mix and aggregates Regarding cost of energy, on a per ton of cement produced basis, a decline from last year’s level of approximately 10% is expected Total capital expenditures expected to be about US$700 million, US$450 million in maintenance capex and US$250 million in strategic capex We expect working capital investment during the year to be flat to marginally higher versus 2015 We expect cash taxes to be under US$400 million during the year We expect a reduction in our cost of debt of US$50 million, including our perpetual and convertible securities 2016 guidance
