26)	RELATED PARTIES

All significant balances and transactions between the entities that constitute Cemex have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These balances with related parties resulted primarily from: (i) the sale and purchase of goods between group entities; (ii) the sale and/or acquisition of subsidiaries’ shares within Cemex; (iii) the invoicing of administrative services, rentals, trademarks and commercial name rights, royalties and other services rendered between group entities; and (iv) loans between related parties. When market prices and/or market conditions are not readily available, Cemex conducts transfer pricing studies in the countries in which it operates to comply with regulations applicable to transactions between related parties.

The definition of related parties includes entities or individuals outside Cemex, who, may take advantage of being in a privileged situation due to their relationship with Cemex. Likewise, this applies to cases where Cemex may take advantage of such relationships and benefit from its financial position or operating results.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, in the ordinary course of business, Cemex has entered into transactions with related parties for the sale and/or purchase of products, the sale and/or purchase of services or the lease of assets, all of which are not significant for Cemex and, except for the transactions mentioned below, to the best of Cemex’s knowledge are not significant to the related party, are incurred for

non-significant

amounts for Cemex and are executed under conditions following the same authorizations applied to other third parties. These identified transactions, which involved members of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors and senior management, as applicable, are reviewed by the Parent Company’s Board of Directors Corporate Practices and Finance Committee and approved or ratified at least annually by the Parent Company’s Board of Directors, as per Cemex’s applicable policies on conflicts of interest and related person transactions. These transactions with related parties also include transactions with subsidiaries with significant

non-controlling

interests, such as TCL, Caribbean Cement Company Limited and CHP; with other companies in which Cemex has a

non-controlling

position, such as Neoris, GCC and Lehigh White Cement Company; with companies in which the Parent Company’s Board of Director members are members of such company’s board of directors, like FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V., Carza, S.A.P.I. de C.V., Nemak, S.A.B. de C.V., NEG Natural, S.A. de C.V.; and with companies at which members of Cemex’s senior management have family members such as Cementos Españoles de Bombeo, S. de R.L. (“CEB”), all of which are also reviewed by the Parent Company’s Board of Directors Corporate Practices and Finance Committee and approved or ratified at least annually by the Parent Company’s Board of Directors.
