Slide 3

Sales on a like-to-like basis decreased by 3% during 2Q19 due to lower consolidated volumes partially mitigated by price increases in all of our regions Higher consolidated prices for our three core products on a like-to-like basis, both sequentially and year over year Consolidated volumes for cement, ready-mix and aggregates decreased by 10%, 5% and 1%, respectively, during 2Q19 on a like-to-like basis Operating EBITDA during 2Q19 decreased by 14% on a like-to-like basis, with a decline in margin of 2.3pp A Stronger CEMEX plan cost-reduction initiatives resulted in savings of US$38 million during 2Q19 While pricing recovered costs during the quarter, 2Q19 EBITDA affected by decline in volumes EBITDA variation Millions of U.S. dollars Stronger CEMEX savings -240 -14% -11% -15%

Slide 7

Mexico: pricing strategy and cost-reduction initiatives partially mitigated drop in volumes Volumes decreased for our three core products during 2Q19 mainly due to post-election transition process and muted investment from the private sector Operating EBITDA margin declined due to lower volumes, higher raw material costs in our ready-mix business, higher transportation costs and an unfavorable product-mix effect The industrial-and-commercial sector drove cement consumption during 2Q19 supported by tourism-related investment and commercial activity The formal residential sector was impacted by the slower-than-anticipated start of the new housing programs Infrastructure activity was affected by the termination of important projects last year as well as a slow start in this year’s budget execution


Slide 8

Mexico: favorable sequential performance year to date in several indicators of demand for our products Remittances (B MXN) SCT budgetary investment (B MXN) Public sector individual mortgages (B MXN)1 Commercial banking mortgages (B MXN) 1 Includes: Banjercito, CFE, CONAVI, FONHAPO, FOVISSSTE, Habitat Mexico, INFONAVIT, ISSFAM, SHF Sources: Sistema Nacional de Información e Indicadores de Vivienda, CONAVI, Estadísticas Oportunas de Finanzas Públicas, SHCP, Sistema de Información Económica, Banxico CMGR: Compound monthly growth rate CMGR 18% CMGR 7% CMGR 261% CMGR 15%

United States: top-line growth despite adverse weather in several markets Quarterly prices for our three core products up both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis Volumes for ready-mix and aggregates increased by 3% and 9%, respectively, while domestic gray cement volumes decreased by 3% during 2Q19 In the infrastructure sector, street-and-highway spending grew 18% year-to-date May, supported by an increase in state-transportation funding initiatives The residential sector started to show some sequential improvement from 1Q19 to 2Q19 as affordability has improved In the industrial-and-commercial sector, construction spending increased 3% year-to-date May, with growth in offices and lodging


Slide 10

Quarterly regional cement, ready-mix and aggregates prices on a like-to-like basis increased by 3%, 1% and 4%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis Operating EBITDA for the region decreased 14% during the quarter on a like-to-like basis with a margin decrease of 2.4pp, due to lower volumes, higher purchased cement, increased energy and freight costs, and higher maintenance costs In Colombia, daily cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 13%, 5% and 8%, respectively, during 2Q19 year over year; cement prices increased by 2% sequentially In Panama, our daily cement volumes declined by 3% during the second quarter affected by high levels of inventory in apartments and offices, as well as increased participation of imported cement South, Central America and the Caribbean: improvement in year-over-year pricing dynamics


Slide 11

Europe: EBITDA and EBITDA margin expansion driven by favorable pricing dynamics and cost-reduction initiatives Higher quarterly regional prices for our three core products on a year-over-year basis Decrease in regional volumes for our three core products during 2Q19 on a year-over-year basis mainly due to fewer working days and adverse weather conditions, especially in Germany, Poland and the UK The infrastructure sector continued to be the main driver of demand during the second quarter supported by large infrastructure projects in Germany, Poland and France Residential activity was supported mainly by favorable conditions in Spain, with double-digit growth in permits


Slide 12

Asia, Middle East and Africa: higher regional prices for our three core products during 2Q19 Quarterly increase in regional prices for our three core products, both in local-currency and US-dollars terms, on a year-over-year basis Decrease in quarterly regional volumes for our three core products mainly due to a lower contribution from Egypt In the Philippines, daily domestic gray cement volumes increased by 3% during 2Q19 on a year-over-year basis; there was a slowdown in construction activity related to a delay in the approval of the national budget as well as mid-term elections held in May In Egypt, domestic gray cement volumes declined 28% due to difficult supply-demand conditions, a decline in cement consumption and a high base of comparison in 2Q18


Slide 13


Slide 14

Operating EBITDA during 2Q19 decreased 14% on a like-to-like basis mainly due to lower volumes and unfavorable product-mix effect Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased 2.1pp during the second quarter of 2019 mainly reflecting higher volumes of purchased cement and higher maintenance costs Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased 0.8pp during the second quarter compared with the same period in 2018, mainly due to higher sales and distribution expenses 2Q19 EBITDA impacted by decline in consolidated volumes and unfavorable product-mix effect

Slide 20

Why 2H19 EBITDA is expected to be better than 1H19 Expected healthier public sector spending in Mexico Higher pricing levels in the U.S. and Europe Implemented price increases in April in a significant part of our footprint in both regions Higher cement volumes anticipated in U.S. and Europe due to seasonality Moderation in energy headwinds 2Q19 was first quarter since 4Q16 with a decline in our cost of energy per ton of cement produced Higher contribution from cost-reduction initiatives under “A Stronger CEMEX” plan US$95M expected in 2H19 vs. US$75M in 1H19


Slide 21


Slide 22

Decrease in consolidated volumes for our three core products during the quarter on a year-over-year basis During 2Q19, year-over-year regional volumes increased for ready-mix and aggregates in the U.S. Increased consolidated prices for our three core products during 2Q19, in local-currency and US-dollar terms, both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis Consolidated volumes and prices


Slide 23

Other income statement items during 2Q19 Other expenses, net, of US$34 million, mainly due to severance payments and impairment of assets Loss on financial instruments of US$2 million, mainly resulting from the derivatives related to GCC shares Foreign-exchange loss of US$17 million resulting mainly from the fluctuation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar Controlling interest net gain of US$155 million in 2Q19 versus a gain of US$376 million in 2Q18; the lower gain primarily reflects lower operating earnings, a loss in financial instruments, a negative variation in foreign exchange fluctuations and a higher income tax, partially offset by lower financial expenses and a positive variation in discontinued operations
