Consolidated net sales during the second quarter of 2019 declined by 11% in U.S.-dollar terms, or by 4% in local-currency terms, compared to those of the second quarter of 2018. Increased sales in Colombia and El Salvador were more than offset by lower sales in the other countries, in local-currency terms. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales during the second quarter increased by 2.4pp from 61.2% to 63.6%, on a year-over-year basis. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales during the quarter increased by 2.4pp from 23.7% to 26.1%, compared to those of 2018. Operating EBITDA during the second quarter of 2019 declined in U.S.-dollar and local-currency terms by 28% and 23%, respectively, compared to that of the second quarter of 2018. The decline in local-currency terms is mainly due to lower prices, partially offset by the SG&A savings related to our A Stronger CEMEX plan. Operating EBITDA margin during the second quarter of 2019 declined by 4.3pp, compared to that of the second quarter of 2018. Controlling interest net income during the second quarter was negative US$4 million, compared to US$4 million during the same quarter of 2018. Total debt declined US$24 million during the quarter, reaching US$811 million.

In Colombia, during the second quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 12%, 4%, and 7%, respectively, compared to those of the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of the year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 10%, 6%, and 1%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. We are encouraged by the positive cement-demand trend in Colombia driven by the infrastructure and the informal-residential sectors. We estimate that industry-cement demand increased by 2% during the quarter and by 3% year-to-date June. Our cement prices from December 2018 to June 2019 increased by 6% in local-currency terms.

In Panama during the second quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 6%, 7%, and 28%, respectively, compared to those of the second quarter of 2018. For the first half of 2019, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. We estimate that industry-cement demand during the quarter improved by 2%. However, volumes remained very weak considering that during the same quarter of last year the industry suffered a construction-workers strike, which paralyzed the formal-construction activity for 30 days. Cement demand continued to be affected by high levels of inventory in apartments and offices, as well as by project delays in the infrastructure sector. However, we are optimistic on the infrastructure sector going forward as relevant projects are expected to ramp-up volumes in coming months.

In Costa Rica, during the second quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes decreased by 31%, 25%, and 2%, respectively. For the first six months of the year our domestic gray cement and ready-mix volumes declined by 26% and 17%, respectively, while our aggregates volumes increased by 8%, compared to those of the same period of 2018.    Industry-cement demand was very weak during the quarter. We estimate that it declined by 18%, or by 15% on a daily-sales basis. Uncertainty related to the implementation of the fiscal reform affected consumer and business confidence. Additionally, we observed some delays in infrastructure projects.

In the Rest of CLH region, which includes our operations in Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 2%, 53%, and 55%, respectively, during the second quarter on a year-over-year basis. During the first half of the year, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes declined by 4%, 45%, and 58%, respectively, compared to those of the first half of 2018. In Nicaragua, the socio-political crisis remains unresolved and continues to take a toll in economic activity, including cement demand. Most of the highway projects sponsored by the government are in late construction stages and are not being replaced by new projects. Going forward, the self-construction sector should continue supporting cement consumption in the country. In Guatemala, our quarterly cement volumes in the country declined by 2% or increased by 1% adjusting for 2 fewer working days. Ready-mix volumes declined due to unusual heavy rains, as well as a high base of comparison in the same period of last year, when some relevant projects were under construction.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) Beginning January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize, for all leases, allowing exemptions in case of leases with a term of less than 12 months or when the underlying asset is of low value, 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, with a single income statement model in which a 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. CEMEX Latam modified the previously reported income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to give effect to the retrospective adoption of IFRS 16, as follows: Selected information Income Statement Original Reported Modified (Millions of dollars) Jan-Jun 2Q Jan-Jun 2Q Revenues 571.9 280.0 571.9 280.0 Cost of sales (339.3) (171.6) (338.6) (171.4) Operating expenses (144.3) (66.5) (144.1) (66.4) Other expenses, net (6.0) (4.6) (6.0) (4.6) Financial (expense) income and others (24.2) (28.2) (25.3) (28.8) Earnings before income tax 58.0 8.9 57.8 8.7 Income tax (23.6) (5.4) (23.5) (5.3) Earnings from continuing operations 34.4 3.5 34.3 3.4 As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, assets for the right-of-use amounted to $17.0 million and $14.9 million, respectively. In addition, financial liabilities related to lease contracts amounted to $23.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and $22.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and were included within “Debt and other financial liabilities”.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES Methodology for translation and presentation of results Under IFRS, CLH reports its consolidated results in its functional currency, which is the US Dollar, by translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries using the corresponding exchange rate at the reporting date for the balance sheet and the corresponding exchange rates at the end of each month for the income statement.

For the reader’s convenience, Colombian peso amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the US dollar amounts using the closing COP/US$ exchange rate at the reporting date for balance sheet purposes, and the average COP/US$ exchange rate for the corresponding period for income statement purposes. The exchange rates are provided below. Per-country/region selected financial information of the income statement is presented before corporate charges and royalties which are included under “other and intercompany eliminations.” Discontinued operations and assets held for sale On September 27, 2018, after receiving the corresponding authorizations by local authorities, CEMEX Latam concluded the disposal of its construction materials operations in Brazil to Votorantim Cimentos N/NE S.A., comprised 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. CEMEX Latam’s operations in Brazil for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 were reclassified and reported net of tax in the single line item “Discontinued Operations”. The following table presents condensed combined information of the income statements of CEMEX Latam discontinued operations in its operating segment in Brazil for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018: INCOME STATEMENT (Millions of dollars) Jan—Jun 2019 2018 Second Quarter 2019 2018 Sales —   17.7 —   8.6 Cost of sales and operating —   (18.5) —   (8.4) Other expenses, net —   (0.1) —   (0.0) Interest expense, net and others —   (0.1) —   (0.1) Income (loss) before income tax —   (0.9) —   (0.0) Income tax —   0.2 —   0.1 Loss of discontinued operations —   (0.7) —   0.1 Result in sale, withholding and Fx reclassification —   —   —   —   Net loss of discontinued operations —   (0.7) —   0.1 Consolidated financial information When reference is made to consolidated financial information means the financial information of CLH together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
