DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) Beginning January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model which 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 up to 12 months or when the underlying asset is of low value, with a single income statement model in which 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, CEMEX Latam 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, 2018 as follows: (Millions of dollars) January 1st, 2018 Assets for the Right-of-use $ 15.7 Deferred tax assets $ 2.8 Lease financial liabilities $ (23.0) Deferred tax liabilities $ (0.7) Retained earnings1 $ (5.2) 1 The initial effect in retained earnings refers to a temporary difference between the straight-line amortization expense of the right-of-use asset against 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. As of March 31, 2020, and 2019, assets for the right-of-use amounted to $15.6 million and $17.4 million, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, financial liabilities related to lease contracts amounted to $22.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively, included within “Debt and other financial liabilities”. 2020 First Quarter Results Page 11
