Second Quarter 2017 Regional Highlights

Daily cement volume declined 6% reflecting a high base of comparison during 2Q16, which had the highest quarterly volumes since 2009, as well as lower infrastructure activity Higher sequential and year-over-year prices for cement and ready mix during the quarter In the industrial-and-commercial sector, projects were supported by growth in consumption and improving manufacturing activity The self-construction sector continued to be favored by job creation, consumer credit and remittances In the formal residential sector, lending from both private banks and INFONAVIT supported more cement-intensive home investment; affordable housing affected by lower government subsidies Mexico

2Q17 operating EBITDA increased by 19% on like-to-like basis, with a margin expansion of 1.8pp Flat cement volumes during the quarter on a like-to-like basis reflect a difficult comparison base and significant precipitations in our southeastern states Cement prices on a like-to-like basis increased 5% year-over-year and 2% sequentially; improved sequential prices reflect the implementation of our April price increase in California and the South Atlantic region Single family housing starts increased 9% during the quarter In the industrial-and-commercial sector, construction spending increased 7% year-to-date May driven by office, lodging and commerce United States

Regional cement volumes on a like-to-like basis decreased by 3% In Colombia, daily cement volumes declined 5% during the quarter, affected by macroeconomic challenges in the country and by adverse weather conditions; we estimate our cement market position remained practically unchanged during the last 12 months In Panama, higher volumes for our three core products reflect a pickup in the infrastructure and residential sectors, as well as a favorable base of comparison Cement volumes from our TCL operations declined by 4% during the quarter, mainly reflecting reduced cement sales in Trinidad and Tobago South, Central America and the Caribbean

Increase in regional volumes for our three core products during both the quarter and the first half of the year In the UK, daily cement volume declined 4% mainly as a result of a high base of comparison during 2Q16 when we had some non-recurring industry sales In Spain, daily cement volume increased 20% driven by continued strong activity in the residential sector In Germany, daily cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased 22%, 5% and 2%, respectively, during the quarter driven by the residential sector and ongoing infrastructure projects In Poland, daily cement volume declined 3%; cement prices increased 3% both on a year-over-year and sequential basis Europe

Increase in quarterly and year-to-date regional aggregates volumes reflects positive performance from our operations in Israel In the Philippines, daily cement volumes remained practically flat during the quarter, reflecting a high base of comparison, heightened competition due to growth in import volumes, as well as supply challenges due to extended repairs in our APO plant In Egypt, daily cement volume declined by 4% during the quarter reflecting reduced consumer purchasing power resulting from the currency devaluation and increased inflation in the country Asia, Middle East and Africa

Second Quarter 2017 2Q17 Results

Operating EBITDA during 2Q17 declined by 8% on a like-to-like basis, mainly due to lower contributions from the Europe, South, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia, Middle East & Africa regions, and partially offset by higher contributions from Mexico and the U.S. Adjusting for working days, operating EBITDA during 2Q17 declined by 5% Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.5pp during the quarter, mainly reflecting higher energy costs, as well as an increase in raw materials in some of our ready-mix operations Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, remained flat during the quarter Operating EBITDA, cost of sales and operating expenses

Other income statement items Other expenses, net, of US$10 million mainly includes severance payments Gain on financial instruments of US$8 million related mainly to CEMEX shares Foreign-exchange loss of US$21 million resulting primarily from the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar Income tax had a positive effect of US$92 million mainly due to the reversal of the valuation allowance previously set for some net operating losses (NOL’s) Gain on discontinued operations of US$28 million related primarily to the sale of our Pacific Northwest materials business operations in the U.S. Controlling interest net income of US$289 million, versus an income of US$205 million in 2Q16, mainly reflects lower financial expenses, a gain in results from financial instruments, a positive effect in income tax, and lower non-controlling interest net income, partially offset by lower operating earnings, a foreign-exchange loss, and lower equity in gain of associates Millions of U.S. dollars 242 626 Controlling interest net income 6M16 6M17
