(1) For the period January-September 2019, the effect of the potential dilutive shares generates anti-dilution; therefore, there is no change between the reported basic and diluted gain per share.

Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2019 reached US$3.5 billion, representing a decrease of 4%, or 1% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations, compared with the third quarter of 2018. Higher prices for our products, in local-currency terms, in all our regions were more than offset by lower volumes mainly in Mexico and our Asia, Middle East and Africa region.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.1pp during the third quarter of 2019 compared with the same period last year, from 64.9% to 66.0%. The increase was mainly driven by higher costs of raw-materials partially offset by lower energy costs.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.5pp during the third quarter of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, from 21.7% to 22.2%, reflecting higher selling expenses.

Operating EBITDA decreased 9% to US$681 million during the third quarter of 2019 compared with the same period last year or decreased 7% on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations and adjusting for foreign-exchange fluctuations. Lower contributions from Mexico and our South, Central America and the Caribbean region were partially mitigated by improvement in the rest of our regions.

Operating EBITDA margin decreased by 1.1pp, from 20.6% in the third quarter of 2018 to 19.5% this quarter.

Gain (loss) on financial instruments for the quarter was a loss of US$5 million, resulting mainly from the derivatives related to the shares of GCC.

Other expenses, net, for the quarter were US$45 million, which includes severance payments, impairment of assets and others.

Foreign exchange results for the quarter was a gain of US$2 million, mainly due to the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar, mitigated by the fluctuation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Controlling interest net income (loss) was a gain of US$187 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared with a gain of US$169 million in the same quarter of 2018. The higher gain primarily reflects lower financial expenses and income tax; positive variations in foreign exchange fluctuations, equity in gain of associates and non-controlling interest net income; partially offset by lower operating earnings, a loss in financial instruments and a negative variation in discontinued operations.

Net debt plus perpetual notes decreased by US$156 million during the quarter.

In Mexico, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 15%, 16% and 13%, respectively, during the third quarter on a year-over-year basis. During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 16%, 15%, and 12%, respectively, versus the comparable period of 2018. Our quarterly domestic gray cement prices in local-currency terms increased 1% year-over-year and were down 2% sequentially.

During the third quarter, activity in the industrial-and-commercial sector was driven by tourism-related investment and commercial projects. In the residential sector, the mid- to high-income housing segments continue to be supported by mortgages from both commercial banks and INFONAVIT; social housing has been impacted by the elimination of subsidies. The self-construction sector also experienced a decline due in part to lower demand for bagged-cement related to government housing programs and a slowdown in job creation. While infrastructure activity has improved, it continues to be affected by the post-election transition process.

In the United States, our third quarter domestic gray cement volumes declined by 1%, while volumes of ready-mix and aggregates rose by 1% and 3%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. During the first nine months of the year, domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 3%, while ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 2% and 6%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. Our cement prices during the quarter grew 4% year-over-year and remained stable sequentially.

Cement volumes in our Southeast operation were disrupted as the region prepared for a hurricane. In addition, we faced unfavorable competitive dynamics in Florida. The infrastructure sector remained the most dynamic sector in the quarter, with street-and-highway spending up 11% and state-transportation spending increasing 20%, both year-to-date August. Activity in the residential sector increased during the quarter, supported by improved housing affordability and lower interest rates. In the industrial-and-commercial sector, a decline in commercial construction was offset by growth in offices and lodging.

In our South, Central America and the Caribbean region, our domestic gray cement volumes increased by 1% during the third quarter and decreased by 1% during the first nine months of 2019, versus the comparable periods of 2018. During the third quarter, cement volumes grew in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador, while ready-mix volumes increased in Colombia and Puerto Rico.

During the quarter, we continued to see recovery in Colombia, with a strong infrastructure sector supported by 4G and other regional projects; as well as favorable activity in residential self-construction. In the Dominican Republic, our cement volume performance was supported by tourism-related projects around Punta Cana, and residential activity, with government investment in social housing and growth in the high-end residential sector in Santo Domingo.

In the Europe region, domestic gray cement volumes were stable both during the quarter and the first nine months of the year, on a year-over-year basis. Both regional ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 2% during the third quarter but grew in the low-single digits for the first nine months of the year. Quarterly cement volumes grew in Spain, Germany, and the Czech Republic, while ready-mix volumes grew in the UK, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.

Our quarterly performance was affected in part by delays in infrastructure projects in Poland, as well as continued Brexit-related uncertainty in the UK. The infrastructure and the industrial-and-commercial sectors were the main demand drivers of volumes in the region, with large infrastructure projects in Germany, France, and the UK; as well as growth in industrial-and-commercial activity in Poland, France, Germany, and Spain.

Our domestic gray cement volumes in the Asia, Middle East and Africa region decreased by 16% during the third quarter and by 15% during the first nine months of the year, on a year-over-year basis.

In the Philippines, our domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 6% and 3% during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019, respectively, versus the comparable periods in the previous year. The decrease in volumes is due to lower construction activity, mainly related to public infrastructure.

In Israel, our ready-mix volumes increased by 16% during the quarter and by 5% during the first nine months of the year compared with the same periods in 2018. Our aggregates volumes declined by 1% both during the quarter and the first nine months of the year on a year-over-year basis.

In Egypt, our domestic gray cement volumes declined by 30% during both the quarter and the first nine months of the year, versus the comparable periods of 2018. A difficult supply-demand environment has continued to affect the market, coupled with a high base of comparison as last year’s volumes included temporary sales to the Lower Egypt region.

|  | 2,576 |  | (47) |  | 2,534 |  | 15 |  | 2,601 |  | (62)

(1) | Exchange rate derivatives are used to manage currency exposures that arise from the regular operations and from forecasted transactions.

(2) | Equity derivatives related to options on the Parent Company’s own shares and to forwards, net of cash collateral, over the shares of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A.B. de C.V.

(3) | Interest-rate swap derivatives related to our long-term energy contracts and to bank loans with a nominal amount of US$1,000 million.

(4) | Forward contracts negotiated to hedge the price of the fuel consumed in certain operations.

(5) | As required by IFRS, the equity related derivatives fair market value as of September 30, 2018 includes a liability of US$8 million, relating to an embedded derivative in CEMEX’s mandatorily convertible securities.

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, and/or transactions related to net investment hedges, in which case changes in fair value are recorded directly in equity as part of the currency translation effect, and are reclassified to the income statement only upon disposal of the net investment. As of September 30, 2019, in connection with the fair market value recognition of its derivatives portfolio, CEMEX recognized increases in its assets and liabilities resulting in a net liability of US$47 million.

Equity-related information

One CEMEX ADS represents ten CEMEX CPOs. One CEMEX CPO represents two Series A shares and one Series B share. The following amounts are expressed in CPO-equivalent terms.

Beginning-of-quarter outstanding CPO-equivalents |  |  | 15,008,239,229 |
CPO Repurchases |  |  | (157,700,000) |
End-of-quarter outstanding CPO-equivalents |  |  | 14,850,539,229 |

For purposes of this report, outstanding CPO-equivalents equal the total number of A and B shares outstanding as if they were all held in CPO form less CPOs held in subsidiaries, which as of September 30, 2019 were 20,541,277.

CEMEX also has outstanding mandatorily convertible securities which, upon conversion in November of 2019, will increase the number of CPOs outstanding by approximately 236 million, subject to antidilution adjustments.

Change in reporting currency to U.S. dollar

In its quarterly report to the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, CEMEX informed that based on International Accounting Standard 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”) under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and with the authorization of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.’s Board of Directors, considering the previous favorable opinion of its Audit Committee, CEMEX changed its reporting currency prospectively from the Mexican peso to the United States dollar (the “U.S. dollar”) beginning on March 31, 2019 and for each subsequent period; and established that the new presentation currency is preferable to CEMEX’s stakeholders considering several factors described in such report.

The change in reporting currency does not affect the impact of CEMEX’s transactions in its financial statements, does not affect negatively or positively our financial position, does not constitute any form of foreign exchange hedge for balances denominated or transactions incurred in U.S. dollars or other currencies and does not change in any form the several functional currencies used in each unit within CEMEX.

Newly issued IFRS effective in 2019

IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)

Beginning January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognize, for all leases, assets for the right-of-use the underlying asset against a corresponding financial liability, representing the net present value of estimated lease payments under the contract, allowing exemptions in case of leases with a term of less than 12 months or when the underlying asset is of low value. Under this model, the lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability. After concluding the inventory and measurement of its leases as of January 1, 2017, which have been further remeasured during 2019 for minor findings and corrections for not significant amounts, CEMEX adopted IFRS 16 using the full retrospective approach by means of which it determined an opening cumulative effect in its statement of financial position as of January 1, 2017 as follows:

(Millions of U.S. dollars) |  |  |  | As of January 1, 2017
Assets for the right-of-use (1) |  | $ |  |  | 920 |
Deferred tax assets |  |  |  |  | 31 |
Lease financial liabilities |  |  |  |  | 1,032 |
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  |  |  | 0 |
Retained earnings (2) |  | $ |  |  | (81 | )

(1) | Includes US$24 million of property, plant and equipment reclassified to assets for the right-of-use related to financial leases at the date of adoption.

(2) | The initial effect in retained earnings refers to a temporary difference between the straight-line amortization expense of the right-of-use asset and the amortization of the financial liability under the effective interest rate method since origination of the contracts. This difference will reverse over the remaining term of the contracts.

CEMEX modified the previously reported income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to give effect to the retrospective adoption of IFRS 16, as follows:

(3) | Original income statement excludes discontinued operations of the Baltic and Nordic, French and German assets, the white cement business in Spain and the operating segment in Brazil and it was prepared to present the information before the adoption of IFRS 16.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, assets for the right-of-use amounted to US$1,231 million and US$1,234 million, respectively. In addition, financial liabilities related to lease contracts amounted to US$1,180 million as of September 30, 2019 and US$1,194 million as of December 31, 2018 and were included within “Other financial liabilities.” All amounts as remeasured during 2019.

Discontinued operations and other disposal groups

Discontinued operations

In connection with the binding agreements signed with Çimsa Çimento Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş. on March 29, 2019 to divest CEMEX’s white cement business except for Mexico and the U.S., for approximately US$180 million, including its Buñol cement plant in Spain and its white cement customers list, the transaction is pending the authorization of the Spanish authorities. CEMEX currently expects it could close this divestment during the last quarter of 2019 or early in 2020. As of September 30, 2019, CEMEX’s operations of these assets in Spain for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued operations.”

On June 28, 2019, after obtaining customary authorizations, CEMEX closed with several counterparties the sale of its ready-mix and aggregates business in the central region of France for an aggregate price of approximately €31.8 million. CEMEX’s operations of these disposed assets in France for the period from January 1 to June 28, 2019 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued operations,” generating in 2019 a gain on sale of approximately US$17 million, which includes the recycling to the income statement of currency translation effects of approximately US$4 million accrued in equity until the date of disposal and a proportional allocation of goodwill related to this reporting segment of US$8 million.

On May 31, 2019, CEMEX concluded the sale of its aggregates and ready-mix assets in the North and North-West regions of Germany to GP Günter Papenburg AG for approximately €87 million. The assets divested in Germany consist of 4 aggregates quarries and 4 ready-mix facilities in North Germany, and 9 aggregates quarries and 14 ready-mix facilities in North-West Germany. CEMEX’s operations of these disposed assets for the period from January 1 to May 31, 2019 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued operations,” generating in 2019 a gain on sale of approximately US$59 million, which includes the recycling to the income statement of currency translation effects of approximately US$8 million accrued in equity until the date of disposal.

On March 29, 2019, CEMEX closed the sale of assets in the Baltics and Nordics to the German building materials group SCHWENK, for a price equivalent to approximately US$387 million. The Baltic assets divested consisted of one cement production plant in Broceni with a production capacity of approximately 1.7 million tons, four aggregates quarries, two cement quarries, six ready-mix plants, one marine terminal and one land distribution terminal in Latvia. The assets divested also included CEMEX’s approximate 38% indirect interest in one cement production plant in Akmene in Lithuania, with a production capacity of approximately 1.8 million tons, as well as the exports business to Estonia. The Nordic assets divested consisted of three import terminals in Finland, four import terminals in Norway and four import terminals in Sweden. CEMEX’s operations of these disposed assets for the period from January 1 to March 29, 2019 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued operations,” generating in 2019 a gain on sale of approximately US$66 million, which includes the recycling to the income statement of currency translation effects of approximately US$31 million accrued in equity until the date of disposal.

On September 27, 2018, after receiving the corresponding authorizations by local authorities, CEMEX concluded the disposal of its construction materials operations in Brazil to Votorantim Cimentos N/NE S.A., comprised mainly of a fluvial cement distribution terminal located in Manaus, Amazonas state and its operating license. The selling price was approximately US$31 million including working capital adjustments and before withholding taxes. CEMEX’s operations for its operating segment in Brazil for the period from January 1 to September 27, 2018 are reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued operations.”

On October 21, 2019, CEMEX reached the required lender consent to implement certain amendments under its facilities agreements dated 19 July 2017 (as amended) (the “Facilities Agreement”). The formalization of the amendments remains subject to certain conditions precedent which CEMEX expects to fulfill during November 2019 so that the amendments can also be effective during November 2019.

a. | amendments to the consolidated leverage and coverage covenants, in an abundance of caution, to increase CEMEX’s flexibility and leave an adequate margin for compliance;

b. | amendments for an additional basket of up to US$500 million exclusively for share repurchases during the life of the Facilities Agreement, as part of CEMEX’s ongoing efforts to simplify documentation, better align its flexibility under the Facilities Agreement to that of its bond indentures, as well as to reflect its improving capital structure over the past years;

c. | technical and updating amendments relating to the implementation of corporate reorganizations in Mexico, Europe and for the Trinidad Cement Group; and

d. | amendments for a new allowance for disposals of minority positions in subsidiaries that are not obligors under the Facilities Agreement for up to US$100 million per calendar year.
