The information contained in this press release is for informational purposes only. Except as the context otherwise may require, references in this press
release to “Cemex,” ”we,” ”us,” ”our,” refer to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. There is currently no single globally recognized or accepted, consistent, and comparable set of definitions or standards (legal,
regulatory, or otherwise) of, nor widespread cross-market consensus i) as to what constitutes, a ‘green’, ‘social,’ or ‘sustainable’ or having equivalent-labelled activity, product, or asset; or ii) as to what precise
attributes are required for a particular activity, product, or asset to be defined as ‘green’, ‘social,’ or ‘sustainable’ or such other equivalent label; or iii) as to climate and sustainable funding and financing
activities and their classification and reporting. Therefore, there is little certainty, and no assurance or representation is given that such activities and/or reporting of those activities will meet any present or future expectations or
requirements for describing or classifying funding and financing activities as ‘green’, ‘social’, or ‘sustainable’ or attributing similar labels. We expect policies, regulatory requirements, standards, and definitions
to be developed and continuously evolve over time. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions
for forward-looking statements in the U.S. federal securities laws. In some cases, these forward looking statements and information are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including but not limited to statements related to
Cemex’s plans, objectives, expectations (financial or otherwise) and typically can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “assume,” “might,” “should,” “could,”
“continue,” “would,” “can,” “consider,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “envision,” “plan,” “believe,” “foresee,” “predict,”
“potential,” “target,” “strategy,” “intend,” “aimed” or other similar terms. Although Cemex believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove
to be correct, and actual results may vary materially from historical results or results anticipated by forward-looking statements due to various factors. These forward-looking statements reflect, as of the date such forward-looking statements are
made, or unless otherwise indicated, our current expectations and projections about future events based on our knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about future events. These statements necessarily involve risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results to differ or those anticipated in this press release, as well as our expectations. Some of the risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other
important factors that could cause results to differ, or that otherwise could have an impact on us or our consolidated entities, include, but are not limited to: the impact of pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases and the response
of governments and other third parties, which could adversely affect, among other matters, the ability of our operating facilities to operate at full or any capacity, supply chains, international operations, availability of liquidity, investor
confidence and consumer spending, as well as the availability of, and demand for, our products and services; the cyclical activity of the construction sector; our exposure to other sectors that impact our and our clients’ businesses, such as,
but not limited to, the energy sector; availability of raw materials and related fluctuating prices of raw materials, as well as of goods and services in general, in particular increases in prices as a result of inflation; volatility in pension plan
asset values and liabilities, which may require cash contributions to the pension plans; the impact of environmental cleanup costs and other remedial actions, and other liabilities relating to existing and/or divested businesses; our ability to
secure and permit aggregates reserves in strategically located areas; the timing and amount of federal, state and local funding for infrastructure; changes in the level of spending for private residential and private nonresidential construction;
changes in our effective tax rate; competition in the markets in which we offer our products and services; general political, social, health, economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate or that affect our operations and any
significant economic, health, political or social developments in those markets, as well as any inherent risks to international operations; the regulatory environment, including environmental, energy, tax, labor, antitrust, and acquisition-related
rules and regulations; our ability to satisfy our obligations under our material debt agreements, the indentures that govern our outstanding notes and our other debt instruments and financial obligations, including our subordinated notes with no
fixed maturity and other financial obligations; the availability of short-term credit lines or working capital facilities, which can assist us in connection with market cycles; the impact of our below investment grade debt rating on our cost of
capital and on the cost of the products and services we purchase; loss of reputation of our brands; our ability to consummate asset sales, fully integrate newly acquired businesses, achieve cost-savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, implement
our pricing initiatives for our products and generally meet our business strategy goals; the increasing reliance on information technology infrastructure for our sales, invoicing, procurement, financial statements and other processes that can
