||Colombia –Residential Sector We estimate that cement dispatches to the residential sector increased in the low-single digits during 4Q18; improving cement demand particularly in the informal or self-construction segment Volumes to the social-housing segment remained relatively flat during 4Q18 however, there are encouraging signs for this segment going forward, as sales and construction permits year-to-date November ‘18 increased by 5% and 15%, respectively. Social housing supported by the continuation of government subsidies The mid-to-high income segment remains challenged, housing starts, sales and permits in this segment declined in the double digits year-to-date We expect industry cement volumes to the residential sector to November ‘18; home inventory in this segment is increase in the low-single digits during 2019, supported by the informal high at about 16 months of sales and social-housing segments 10

||Colombia –Infrastructure Sector The infrastructure sector continued its positive performance during 4Q18 Our volumes to this sector were supported by the Salitre water-treatment plant, the CETIC Hospital, a group of 210 schools, and by the expansion of the San Fernando water-treatment plant We dispatched our products to 15 4G projects, including Autopista al Mar 1, Autopista al Rio Magdalena 2, Bucaramanga-Barranca-Yondó, Bucaramanga-Pamplona, Pasto-Rumichaca and Vías del NUS. We reached an estimated 36% market share in 4G volumes during 2018 Projects worth more than US$320 million were awarded in Bogotá late 2018 During 2019, we expect cement volumes to the infrastructure sector to The Alsacia-Tintal Avenue, the Rincon avenue increase in the mid-single digits. Activity in this sector should be from Boyacá to Carrera 91, three community centers and a police station; projects to start reinforced by a higher transportation-investment budget and an construction in 2019 increase in the budget of royalties from extraction activities 11

LOGO

||Panama –Sector Highlights In 2019, we expect the infrastructure sector to be the main driver of demand; main projects that should start construction are During 1Q19 the Corredor de las Playas highway, during 2Q19 the metro’s-second-line connection to the airport and during 4Q19 the fourth bridge over the canal. We also expect the US$2.3 billion metro’s-third-line to be awarded during the first half of this year and start construction during 1Q20 We expect national cement consumption to decline in the mid-single digits during 2019, the high level of inventories in apartments and offices should continue impacting cement consumption, despite that Panama’s GDP is During 2019 we expect our cement volumes from flat to decreasing 2%, expected to grow by 4.7% in 2019 outperforming the expected mid-single digits decline for the industry as 14 we are considering an improvement in our market position

LOGO

||Costa Rica –Sector Highlights For 2019, the main driver of demand should be the infrastructure sector projects like Ruta-32-Cruce-a-Río-Frío-Limón and Circunvalación Norte highways, recently started construction, and Ruta-1-Cañas-Limonal is expected to start during 2Q19 Infrastructure spending is one of the pillars of the government plan to reactivate the economy The plan includes investments of US$4.6 billion, out of which US$3 billion could be spent in the 2019-2022 period. Ruta 32 and Ruta-1-Cañas-Limonal are two of the projects supported by this plan In 2019, we expect national cement demand to increase ~1%, increased demand from the infrastructure sector should more than offset declines in Considering the presence of the new competitor for the full year, we the other two sectors expect our cement volumes to decline from 3% to 6% during 2019 17

LOGO

||Nicaragua –Sector Highlights GDP contracted 3.5% in 2018, private investment remains paralyzed and commercial banks continue restricting consumer-and-business credit to preserve liquidity Our cement volumes during the quarter and the full year declined by 10% and 14%, respectively, our sequential volumes during the quarter increased by 5% due to the acceleration of some government projects The U.S. Government approved in December 2018 the “Nica Act”, law that constrains funding to Nicaragua from multilateral banks in which the U.S. participates. Government-sponsored projects should continue during the first half of the year, but there is no longer-term visibility; the self-construction sector might be the only segment supporting cement Due to the effect of the political unrest on the construction sector, we expect our consumption in the country 20 volumes in Nicaragua to decline from 10% to 20% in 2019


LOGO

||Guatemala –Sector Highlights Our cement and ready-mix volumes increased by 7% and 48%, respectively, during 2018 achieving record volumes in both businesses We estimate that national-cement demand increased in the mid-single digits during 2018 Our cement volumes outperformed the industry because we are directly reaching more retailers where we have distribution capabilities, while our ready-mix volumes benefited from improved service and client coverage in Guatemala City The residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main drivers of demand during the quarter, supported by vertical-housing projects and We expect our cement volumes in Guatemala to increase in the low-single digits shopping malls in Guatemala City during 2019 21
