Slide 10

During 2020, we expect national cement volumes to the residential sector to continue increasing in the low-single digits, supported by the self-construction and social-housing segments || Colombia – Residencial Sector Cement volumes to the self-construction segment improved during 2019, fueled by the economic recovery and remittances In the social-housing segment, indicators such as permits, launches and sales improved in the double digits during the last 6 months We estimate that national cement dispatches to this sector increased in the low-single digits during 4Q19 and full year, YoY


Slide 11

During 2020, we expect national cement volumes to the infrastructure sector to increase in the mid-single digits || Colombia – Infrastructure Sector We expect national cement/ready-mix demand from the 4G program to increase more than 50% in 2020 Our volumes to this sector were supported by 4G projects, as well as by projects in Bogota such as the “Salitre” water-treatment plant and the “CETIC” Hospital, among other projects across the country Infrastructure was the best-performing sector during 2019, increasing in the double digits

Slide 14

During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline from 11% to 13%, due to potential delays in the execution of infrastructure projects, the divestment of certain ready-mix assets to Cementos Progreso, and to challenging competitive dynamics || Panama – Sector Highlights In the infrastructure sector, the “Corredor de las Playas” highway and the Fourth Bridge over the canal should gradually ramp-up volumes We expect a moderation in the rate of decline in cement demand, driven by infrastructure projects and the social-housing segment Additionally, projects for a total of US$4 billion are expected to start. These projects include the third line of the metro, the new-electric-transmission line, the metro-line-one extension, among others

Slide 17

|| Costa Rica – Sector Highlights Among the most relevant infrastructure projects are: “Ruta 1: Cañas-Limonal”, “Ruta 1: Limonal-Barranca”, “Ruta 32: San Jose-Rio Frio” and the extension of “Ruta 27” We expect a gradual stabilization in national cement demand, driven by anticipated reactivation of private construction activity and the current pipeline of infrastructure projects During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline from 3% to 5%, in line with national demand

Slide 20

|| Nicaragua – Sector Highlights Our cement volumes during 4Q19 and the full year declined by 20% and 16%, respectively, in line with national demand. However, our quarterly cement volumes improved by 6% sequentially, due to the reactivation of some highway projects and a hospital National cement demand was weak during 2019 impacted by the socio-political crisis During 2020, we expect our cement volumes to decline in the mid teens, in line with national demand, due to the low visibility in government’s ability to execute infrastructure projects


Slide 21

|| Guatemala – Sector Highlights Our cement volumes remained flat during 2019 and declined by 3% during the quarter. The decline during 4Q19 was due to a lower-market participation from our ready-mix business, as we focused on the most-profitable projects, and to increased imports National cement demand improved in the mid-single digits during 2019, driven by the residential and industrial-and-commercial sectors We expect our cement volumes to grow in the low-single digits during 2020, in line with national demand. There is general optimism with Alejandro Giammattei, the new pro-business president

We are pleased to announce that CDP1 raised its rating of CEMEX and CLH from B in 2018 to A in 2019, in recognition of our climate-protection efforts We are working on all technical levers available in the cement sector to reduce our carbon footprint, which include: Investing in energy efficiency Using alternative fuels, where we reached a 13% substitution rate in 2019 and resulted in savings of about US$2.5 million Expanding our use of renewable energy. During 2019, 64% of our power consumption in cement came from renewable energy Decreasing our clinker factor in cement production, clinker factor reached 73% in 2019, from 79% in 1990 Offsetting emissions from our vehicle fleet by planting and maintaining trees As a result, in 2019 we reduced net CO2 emissions per cementitious product by more than 20% from 1990 levels, equivalent to the emissions generated by 100,000 cars CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs a global disclosure system for companies to manage their environmental impact || CLH was recognized for its climate-protection efforts
