I hope you and your families enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and are well and in good health.

As the new year starts, we look forward to achieving even better results than in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every industry, including of course ours. Nevertheless, it is evident that we at CEMEX provide essential products and services, and also that we have the right strategy to continue strengthening our market positioning around the world.

At CEMEX we were able to effectively respond to a major challenge like the coronavirus pandemic because we are a discipline, flexible, agile, and resilient company. Last year was extremely demanding, but we achieved good results thanks in large measure to your dedication and commitment. For that, I sincerely thank you, and I congratulate you all on a job well done!

Our top priority remains the Health and Safety of everyone who is part of the CEMEX family. In addition to implementing best practices to further lower LTI and prevent fatalities, that means that we need to continue observing our Behaviours that Save Lives protocols. As COVID-19 vaccination programs are rolled out in various countries, we must keep our guard up, focusing as always on each and every issue we can control to achieve our goals for the year.

We need to provide a superior experience for our customers, develop innovative urban solutions, help address climate change through an ambitious sustainability agenda, and create greater lasting value for all our stakeholders. Even as the business landscape will still be very challenging due to the effects of the pandemic, we can be optimistic about the outlook in 2021. Mostly, because we have proven yet again that CEMEX is in fact a great company, fully dedicated to building a better future!

Please stay safe, and I wish you all a very successful 2021!

Best regards,

Rogelio Zambrano
