Consolidated Net Sales reached US$4.6 billion in 3Q26, an 8% increase from 3Q25, supported by higher consolidated prices and improving gray cement volume trends in most markets. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net Sales, decreased by 1.9pp to 64.5% in 3Q26 and by 1.6pp to 65.4% on a year-to-date basis, compared with the corresponding periods last year, driven by operational efficiencies under Project Cutting Edge. Operating expenses, as a percentage of Net Sales, increased by 0.6pp to 21.3 % in 3Q26 and decreased by 0.8pp to 21.1% on a year-to-date basis, compared with the corresponding periods last year. The year-to-date improvement was driven by savings under Project Cutting Edge. Operating EBITDA reached US$990 million in 3Q26, increasing 12% from 3Q25 , reflecting the combined benefits of our transformation, higher pricing, growing gray cement volumes, and favorable FX movements. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter with double-digit Operating EBITDA growth. Operating EBITDA margin in 3Q26 increased 0.8pp year-over- year to 21.6% . Expansion is largely explained by pricing increases, lower energy prices in our cement operations , and improved profitability in our Urbanization Solutions business. Controlling interest net income reached US$407 million in 3Q26, a 55% increase year -over-year driven mainly by higher Operating earnings.

Mexico delivered another strong quarter supported by growing cement demand and cost efficiencies, leading to a double-digit increase in Operating EBITDA year-over-year for the quarter. Sequentially, cement pricing remained stable after adjusting for mix effect, while ready-mix prices increased 2%. Year-over-year cement volume growth was supported by a healthy residential sector and government -backed social programs, including housing and Rural Roads. Industry demand is expected to remain constructive , reflecting higher infrastructure spending and continued momentum in residential construction in 2027. In ready-mix, the orderbook continues to expand sequentially, especially on infrastructure projects.

Price (local currency) for EMEA, Europe, MEA, and SCAC calculated on a volume -weighted-average basis at constant foreign - exchange rates. The United States posted positive volume performance with cement and aggregates increasing 4% during the quarter. Growth was mainly driven by favorable dynamics across most of our markets as well as the contribution from our new mortars platform in the U .S., Omega. Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA margin in the quarter were impacted by an unplanned outage, higher raw material cost inflation in ready-mix and cement, and lower cement prices. Compared to 4Q25, ready-mix and aggregates prices are up mid-single digits, with some erosion in cement prices in select markets. Demand continues to be led primarily by infrastructure , while industrial -sector demand, particularly related to the AI ecosystem and energy sector, continues to grow. Residential construction remains challenged by affordability constraints and elevated housing inventories.

Price ( local currency) for EMEA, Europe, MEA, and SCAC calculated on a volume -weighted-average basis at constant foreign - exchange rates. The EMEA region delivered favorable results, with Operating EBITDA growth distributed across both subregions , supported by strong pricing and efficiencies from Project Cutting Edge, which partially mitigated rising energy costs in the region. Sequential pricing was broadly stable in Europe across our three products. Importantly , prices are up low to mid -single digits on a cumulative basis since 4Q25 , reflecting successful first -half pricing increases in markets affected by the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) this year. Across Europe, fuel surcharges and price increases covering the majority of our ready- mix volumes are helping mitigate higher diesel costs. In Europe, Germany posted cement volume growth for the first time this year and, together with Spain, helped offset softer vo lumes elsewhere amid persistent heatwaves, project delays, and a fragile recovery in construction activity across several markets. For Middle East and Africa, double-digit cement volume growth was driven by a demand recovery in Egypt, while our operations in Israel and the UAE remained resilient amid geopolitical tensions.

Price (local currency) for EMEA, Europe, MEA, and SCAC calculated on a volume -weighted-average basis at constant foreign - exchange rates. In South, Central America and the Caribbean , our results were impacted by higher cement purchases in Jamaica, reflecting annual maintenance works and stronger-than-expected demand, along with higher energy costs in the region. Cement demand in the region remained solid, supported by robust performance in Colombia and Jamaica, with the informal sector driving activity in both markets. In Jamaica, demand also benefited from increased reconstruction activity related to last year’s Hurricane Melissa and continued investment in tourism-related projects. We remain optimistic on the fundamentals of our portfolio in the region, supported by resilient informal construction.

See Cemex’s reports furnished to or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information, if any, regarding repurchases of securities and other developments that may have caused a change in the number of CPO-equivalents outstanding after December 31, 2025. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, 78,803,711 CPOs were repurchased by Cemex under its share repurchase program approved at Cemex, S.A.B . de C.V.’s ordinary annual shareholders meeting held on March 25, 2025.

(2) As of September 30, 2026, these instruments are associated with bank loans, including interest rate and exchange rate swap derivatives. (3) Cemex's derivative financial instruments portfolio includes swaps and financial options. These derivative instruments are mainly used to hedge the market price risk of certain fuels associated with certain Cemex operations, such as transportation and production. In addition, there are call spreads on Brent oil and derivatives thereof, designed to mitigate the exposure related to the implicit cost of fuel in distribution expenses. Under IFRS, companies are required to recognize the fair value of all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities, with changes in such fair market values recorded in the income statement, except when transactions are entered into for hedging purposes. In cash -flow hedging cases, changes in the fair market value of the related derivative instruments are recognized temporarily in equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings as the effects of the underlying are recognized in the income statement. Moreover, in transactions related to net investment hedges, changes in fair market value are recorded directly in equity as part of the currency translation effect and are reclassified to the income statement only in the case of disposal of the net investment. As of September 30, 2026, in connection with the derivatives portfolio’s fair market value, Cemex recognized changes in fair market value resulting in a financial asset of US$36 million.

The forward- looking statements and the information disclosed in this report are made and stated as of the dates specified in this report and are subject to change without notice; and, except to the extent legally required, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking t o update or correct the information contained in this report, or revise any forward -looking statements in this report, whether to reflect new information, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated future events or circumstances, any change in our expe ctations regarding those forward -looking statements, any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, or otherwise. Readers should review future reports filed or furnished by us with the SEC, the CNBV and the BMV. Market data used in this report and events referenced herein not attributed to a specific source are our estimates and have not been independently verified. Certain financial and statistical information contained in this report is subject to rounding adjustments; accordingly, any discrepancies between the totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Unless otherwise specified, all refe rences to records are our internal records. This report includes certain non -International Financial Reportin g Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures that differ from financial information presented by us in accordance with IFRS in our financial statements and reports containing financial information. The aforementioned non- IFRS financial measures include “Operati ng EBITDA” or “EBITDA” (operating earnings before other expenses, net plus depreciation and amortization), “Operating EBITDA Margin” or “EBITDA Margin” (Operating EBITDA for the period divided by revenues reported for the same period), “Operating EBIT” or “EBIT” (operating earnings before other expenses, net), “Free Cash Flow from Operations” (Operating EBITDA minus net interest paid, maintenance capital expenditures, maintenance lease payments, fixed asset sales, change in working capital, net taxes paid, and other cash expenditures), and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations Conversion Rate” (measures how much of the company’s operating earnings turn into actual cash). The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBITDA is “Operating earnings before other expenses, net,” as Operating EBITDA adds depre ciation and amortization to the IFRS financial measure. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare to Operating EBITDA Margin. The closest IFRS financial measure to Operating EBIT is “Operating earnings before other expenses, net.” We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare to Free Cash Flow from Operations. We believe there is no close IFRS financial measure to compare to Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations Conversion Rate. These non-IFRS financial measures are designed to complement and should not be considered superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Although Operating EBITDA, Operating EBITDA Margin, Operating EBIT and Free Cash Flow from Operations are not measures of operating performance, an alternative to cash flows or a measure of financial position under IFRS, Operating EBITDA is the financial measure used by our management to review operating performance and profitability, for decision -making purposes and to allocate resources. Moreover, our Operating EBITDA is a measure used by our creditors to review our ability to internally fund capital ex penditures, service or incur debt and comply with financial covenants under our financing agreements. Furthermore, our management regularly reviews our Operating EBITDA Margin by reportable segment and on a consolidated basis as a measure of performance an d profitability. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The financial measures presented in this report are being provided for informative purposes only and shall not be construed as investment, financial, or other advice. Also, this report includes statistical data regarding production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready -mix concrete, clinker, aggregates, and Urbanization Solutions. We generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this report. We a ct in strict compliance with antitrust laws and as such, among other measures, maintain an independent pricing policy that has been independently developed and its core element is to price our products and services based upon their quality and characteristics as well as their value to our customers. We d o not accept any communications or agreements of any type with competitors regarding the determination of our prices for our products and services. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to pricing initiatives, price increases or decreases, refer to our prices for our product s. The information, statements, and opinions contained in this report are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation, an offer to sell, or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or financial instruments, or any advice or recommendatio n with respect to such securities or other financial instruments.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) and Sustainability -Related Data, Metrics, and Methodologies. This report includes non -financial metrics, estimates, or other information related to ESG and sustainability matters that are subject to significant uncertainties, which may include the methodology, c ollection, and verification of data, various estimates, and assumptions, and/or underlying data that is obtained from third parties, some of which cannot be independently verified. The preparation of certain information on ESG and sustainability matters contained in this report requires the application of a number of key judgments, assumptions, and estimates. The reported measures reflect good faith estimates, assumptions, and judgments at the given point in time. There is a risk that these judgments, estimates, or assumptions may subsequently prove to be incorrect and/or, to the extent legally required, may need to be restated,

Disclaimer 2026 Third Quarter Results Page 18 or changed. The disclosure of information on sustainability-related matters is not yet subject to the same recognized or accepted reporting or accounting principles and rules as traditional financial information. Consequently, there are no commonly accepte d reporting practices for us to follow, and ESG metrics among organizations in our industry may not be comparable. In addition, the underlying data, systems, and controls th at support non-financial reporting are generally considerably less sophisticated th an the systems and internal control for financial reporting and rely on manual processes. This may result in non-comparable information between organizations and/or between reporting periods within organizations as methodologies continue to develop and/or be socialized. The further development of or changes to accounting and/or reporting standards could materially impact the performance metrics, data points, and targets contained in this report, and the reader may not be able to compare non -financial information performance metrics, data points, or targets between reporting periods on a direct like-for-like basis. Additionally, the information disclosed in this report contains references to “green,” “social,” “sustainable,” or equivalent -labelled activities, products, assets, or projects. 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, products, assets or projects and/or reporting of those activities, products, assets or projects will meet any present or future expectations or requirements for describing or classifying such activities, products, assets or projects as ‘green,’ ‘social,’ or ‘sustain able,’ or attributing similar labels. We expect policies, regulatory requirements, standards, and definitions to be developed and continuously evolve over time. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking ESG or Sustainability Statements. Certain sections in this report contain ESG - or sustainability-related forward-looking statements, such as aims, ambitions, estimates, forecasts, plans, projections, targets, goals and other metrics, including bu t not limited to: climate and emissions, business and human rights, corporate governance, research and development and partnerships, development of products and services that intend to address sustainability -related concerns and sustainability related targets/ ambitions when finalized, including the implementation of technologies and other initiatives that aim to reduce and/or capture CO2 emissions. These forward-looking statements also include references to specific programs, such as our current “Future in Action” climate action and nature program, as well as various ESG -related indicators, objectives or metrics disclosed previously or that may be disclosed in the future, none of which are guarantees and any and all of which may ultimately not be achieved or may be abandoned at any time, whether in p art, in full, or within any specific timeframe. There are many significant uncertainties, assumptions, judgements, opinions, estimates, forecasts and statements made of future expectations underlying these forward-looking statements which could cause actual results, performance, outcomes or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward -looking statements, which include, but are not limited to: the extent and pace of climate change, including the timing and manifestation of physical and transition risks; the macroeconomic environment; uncertainty around future climate-related policy and regulations, including the timely implementation and integration of adequate government policies; the effectiveness of actions of governments, l egislators, regulators, businesses, investors, customers, and other stakeholders to mitigate the impact of climate and sustainability -related risks; changes in customer behavior and demand, changes in the available technology for mitigation and the effectiveness of any such technologies, as some of these new technologies may be unproven; excessive costs and expenses related to a cquire and/or develop technology for mitigation; the roll -out of low carbon infrastructure; the availability and adoption of renewa ble energy in our value chain; the development of carbon capture, circular utilization, and sequestration technologies, including the adoption of cost-effective carbon-related technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage; the availability of accurate, verifiable, reliable, consistent, and comparable climate-related data; lack of transparency and comparability of climate -related forward -looking methodologies; variation in approaches and outcomes, as variations in methodologies may lead to under or overestimates and consequently present exaggerated indication of climate-related risk; and reliance on assumptions and future uncertainty. Calculations of forward -looking metrics are complex and require many methodological choices and assumptions. A ccordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward -looking statements. Furthermore, changing national and international standards, industry and scientific practices, regulatory requirements, and market expectations regarding climate change, w hich remain under continuous development, are subject to different interpretations. There can be no assurance that these standards, practices, requirements, and expectatio ns will not be interpreted differently than our understanding when defining sustainability-related ambitions and targets or change in a manner that substantially increases the cost or effort for us to achieve such ambitions and targets.
