CONSOLIDATED NET SALES increased 7% from the second quarter of 2002 to
US$1,855 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to the positive
contribution of our newly acquired Puerto Rican unit, and to our higher sales
in Mexico, Spain and Venezuela.
COST OF GOODS SOLD as a percentage of net sales increased by 3.3 percentage
points versus the year-earlier period, mainly due to the change in our sales
mix, as we had higher sales from our multi-products strategy and ready-mix in
Mexico, as well as higher energy costs.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (SG&A) increased 1% versus the
second quarter of 2002. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased 110 basis
points versus the second quarter of 2002 and 150 basis points for the first
half of the year versus the comparable period in 2002. The reduced SG&A margin
is due to our continuing efforts to reduce overhead at the corporate and plant
levels.
EBITDA dropped 1% from a year ago to US$552 million, and our consolidated
EBITDA margin decreased from 32% in the year-earlier period to 30% in the
second quarter of 2003. The two percentage-point drop is attributable to the
increased weight of our multi-products and ready mix sales - both of which
have lower margins than cement sales, as well as higher energy costs with
stable average prices.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN (LOSS) for the quarter was a gain of US$48 million,
versus a loss of US$107 million in the year-earlier period. The foreign
exchange gain was primarily due to the appreciation of the Mexican peso and
depreciation of the yen versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES GAIN (LOSS) for the quarter was a gain of US$66 million,
versus a loss of US$122 million in the year-earlier period. The gain is
explained by the increase in value of our derivatives position (mainly our
equity forward contracts designed to hedge our stock option plans), which
improved by US$347 million during the quarter, and a portion of which needs to
be recognized through our income statement.
MAJORITY NET INCOME for the quarter was US$309 million, an increase of 322%
versus the second quarter of 2002. The increase is mainly due to gains in
foreign exchange and marketable securities, whereas in the second quarter of
2002 these items represented a loss (explained above).
NET DEBT at the end of the second quarter was US$5,829 million, versus $6,179
million at the end of the first quarter of 2003. Free cash flow in the amount
of US$388 million was used to reduce net debt during the quarter; however,
when expressed in U.S. dollars, net debt decreased by US$350 due to the
strengthening of the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

In millions of U.S. dollars.
During the quarter, US$390 million of free cash flow was used primarily to
reduce net debt, however net debt was reduced by US$350 million during the
quarter as a result of foreign exchange rates movements in the amount of US$38
million. Free cash flow was also used to pay dividends in the amount of US$6
million.
EBITDA and free cash flow (calculated as set forth above) are presented herein
because CEMEX believes that they are widely accepted as financial indicators
of its ability to internally fund capital expenditures and service or incur
debt. EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered as indicators of
CEMEX's financial performance, as alternatives to cash flow, as measures of
liquidity or as being comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. EBITDA is reconciled above to operating income which CEMEX
considers to be the most comparable measure as determined under generally
accepted accounting principles in Mexico (GAAP). Free cash flow is reconciled
to EBITDA. CEMEX is not required to prepare a statement of cash flows under
Mexican accounting principles and, as such does not have such GAAP cash flow
measures to present as comparable to EBITDA or free cash flow.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
On June 30, 2003, CEMEX issued two tranches under its Medium-Term Promissory
Notes Program ("Certificados Bursatiles"). The first tranche of notes consists
of MXP 1,600 million with a maturity of three years at an interest rate equal
to the Mexican peso Interbank Offer Rate (TIIE) plus 80 basis points. The
second tranche of notes consists of five and a half years MXP 545 million
tranche in UDIs ("Unidades de inversion") at an interest rate of 5.30%.
During June 2003, CEMEX Espana, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, closed a
seven, ten and twelve-year US$400 million private placement mainly with
insurance companies and pension funds in the United States.

EQUITY RELATED INFORMATION
==============================================================================
One CEMEX ADR represents five CEMEX CPOs. The following amounts are expressed
in CPO terms
Beginning of quarter CPO-equivalent units outstanding 1,520,783,863
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPOs issued due to stock dividend 98,841,944
Net effect of share repurchase program 4,290,500
Exercise of stock options not hedged 138,918
Change in the number of CPOs held in subsidiaries (8,743,886)
End of quarter CPO-equivalent units outstanding 1,615,311,339
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outstanding units equal total shares issued by CEMEX less
shares held in subsidiaries.
Employee stock options plans
As of June 30, 2003, directors, officers and other employees under our
employee stock options plans had outstanding options to acquire 176,034,750
CEMEX CPOs. Of the total options outstanding, 95.4% are hedged through equity
forward agreements, and will not dilute existing shares when exercised. The
total amount of these options programs represents 10.9% of total CPOs
outstanding.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
==============================================================================
CEMEX periodically utilizes derivative financial instruments such as interest
rate and currency swaps, currency and equity forward contracts, options and
futures in order to achieve our funding strategy and to hedge our stock
options plans and other equity related obligations.
The following table shows the notional amount for each type of derivative
instrument, and the aggregate fair market value for all of CEMEX's derivative
instruments as of the last day of each quarter presented.
Second quarter First quarter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated aggregate fair market value (223) (61) (570)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In millions of U.S. dollars.
The estimated aggregate fair market value represents the approximate
settlement result as of the valuation date, based upon quoted market prices
and estimated settlement costs, which fluctuate over time. Fair market values
and notional amounts do not represent amounts of cash currently exchanged
between the parties; cash amounts will be determined upon termination of the
contracts considering the notional amounts, quoted market prices, as well as
the other derivative items as of the settlement date. Fair market values
should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values
of the underlying hedge transactions and the overall reduction in the
company's exposure to the risks being hedged.
* The aggregate weighted average exercise price on June 30, 2003 for CEMEX's
outstanding stock options, warrants and the CAH obligation was US$24.36 per
ADR. On that same date, the aggregate weighted average strike price of CEMEX's
equity forward agreements put in place to hedge our obligations under the
abovementioned stock options was US$21.96 per ADR.
Under Mexican GAAP ("Bulletin C-2"), companies are required to recognize all
derivative financial instruments in the balance sheet as assets or
liabilities, at their estimated fair market value, with changes in such fair
values recorded on the income statement. The exceptions to the rule, as they
refer to CEMEX, are presented when transactions are entered for hedging
purposes. In such cases, the related derivative financial instruments should
be valued using the same valuation criteria applied to the hedged asset,
liability or equity instrument. CEMEX has recognized increases in assets and
liabilities, which resulted in a net liability of US$592 million, arising from
the fair value recognition of its derivatives portfolio as of June 30, 2003.
The notional amounts of derivatives substantially match the amounts of
underlying assets, liabilities or equity transactions on which the derivatives
are being entered into.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
==============================================================================
98% of shareholders receive CPOs under CEMEX's stock dividend program
On June 5, 2003, CEMEX announced the completion of its stock dividend program.
A total of 98,841,944 CPOs were issued on June 5, 2003 and distributed to 98%
of shareholders. The remaining 2% of shareholders elected to receive a cash
payment of MXP 2.20 per CPO (MXP 11.00 per ADS) in lieu of the stock, for a
total of approximately MXP 61 million (US$6 million) paid by CEMEX.
Under this dividend program, CEMEX shareholders electing to receive stock
received one new CPO for each 16.568 CPOs held (each representing two series A
shares and one series B share). CEMEX shareholders had the option to receive a
cash payment of MXP 2.20 per CPO in lieu of the stock dividend.
CEMEX plans to increase production capacity in the Dominican Republic
Cementos Nacionales, our main operating subsidiary in the Dominican Republic,
has initiated a US$130 million investment plan for installing a new kiln for
producing clinker with annual capacity of 1.6 million metric tons of clinker.
This investment would increase our total clinker production capacity in the
Dominican Republic to 2.2 million tons per year. The new kiln is expected to
be completed in early 2005. We expect to invest approximately US$16 million to
this project in 2003, with the remaining of the investment expected to be
realized during 2004 and 2005.

OPERATING RESULTS - MEXICO
===============================================================================
In Mexico, net sales were US$714 million, an increase of 9% versus the second
quarter of 2002.
Domestic gray cement volume increased 2% versus the year-earlier period, while
ready-mix volume increased 10%. The residential sector and infrastructure
projects continue to be the main drivers of cement and ready-mix demand in
Mexico. The self-construction sector - which represents about half of cement
demand in Mexico - remains stable.
CEMEX's average realized gray cement price in Mexico increased 2% in constant
pesos versus the second quarter of 2002, and decreased 1% in dollar terms. The
average ready-mix price decreased 3% in constant pesos and decreased 5% in
dollar terms compared with the second quarter of 2002.
The average cash cost of goods sold per metric ton increased 4% in dollar
terms versus the second quarter of 2002, mostly due to increased energy costs.
UNITED STATES
===============================================================================
Net sales for CEMEX's U.S. operations during the second quarter were US$452
million, a decrease of 6% compared to the year-earlier period.
Domestic cement volume decreased 3% during the second quarter of 2003 compared
to the year-earlier period, while the ready-mix volume increased 9%. The
residential sector is still strong; however, lower spending on infrastructure
and highways coupled with lower construction in the industrial and commercial
sector drove down cement demand during the quarter. Weather continues to be a
factor with significant influence over cement demand activity as heavy
rainfall throughout our markets had an impact on our cement sales volumes.
Ready mix volume was driven mainly by strong sales in the western U.S.
The average realized cement price decreased 2% versus the second quarter of
2002 and remained flat versus the first quarter of 2003, while the average
ready-mix price remained flat versus the same period a year ago, and also
versus the first quarter of 2003.
The average cash cost of goods sold per metric ton increased 1% versus the
second quarter of 2002.
SPAIN
==============================================================================
Net sales for CEMEX Spain during the quarter were US$291 million, an increase
of 22% versus the year-earlier period. Domestic cement volume increased 7%
during the quarter compared to the same period a year ago. Ready-mix volume
increased 5% for the quarter versus the year-earlier period. Spain's
infrastructure program, together with a low interest rate environment, has
strengthened cement and ready mix demand in the country.
The average domestic cement price decreased 2% in euros and increased 20% in
dollar terms compared to the year-earlier period. The average ready-mix price
increased 1% in euros and 24% in dollar terms versus the second quarter of
2002.
The average cash cost of goods sold per metric ton increased 34% in dollar
terms versus the second quarter of 2002. The increase in cash costs, when
expressed in dollar terms, is due to the appreciation of the euro versus the
U.S. dollar between June 2002 and June 2003.

VENEZUELA
===============================================================================
Domestic cement volume for CEMEX's Venezuelan operations decreased 16%
compared to the second quarter of 2002, while ready-mix volume decreased 12%.
Venezuela is still going through an economic downturn, which has significantly
affected overall demand in the country; lower oil revenue is cutting public
expenditure and lack of confidence is dampening private investment. The
effects of this economic slowdown have been partially compensated by cost
reductions and customer oriented initiatives, which have strengthened the
value proposition to our customers.
Export volume from the company's Venezuelan operations during the second
quarter increased 45% compared to the year-earlier period. The North America
and Caribbean regions accounted for 52% and 48% of CEMEX Venezuela's exports,
respectively.
Domestic cement prices increased 8% in constant Bolivar terms and decreased 3%
in dollar terms compared to the second quarter of 2002. During the second
quarter of 2003, the average ready-mix price increased 8% in constant Bolivar
terms, and decreased 2% in dollar terms compared to the year-earlier period.
The average cash cost of goods sold per metric ton decreased by 12% in dollar
terms compared to the second quarter of 2002. A large portion of our cash
costs is Bolivar-denominated; hence, the bolivar's depreciation caused these
costs to decrease in U.S. dollar terms.
COLOMBIA
==============================================================================
During the second quarter of 2003, domestic cement volume for the Company's
Colombian operations decreased 1%, while ready-mix volume increased 25% versus
the year-earlier period. Prudent fiscal management has allowed for public
investment, fueling the construction sector, while low interest rates and low
inflation are fostering moderate demand for housing and private investment.
CEMEX's average realized cement price in Colombia was 9% higher in Colombian
pesos and 11% lower in dollar terms versus the second quarter of 2002. The
average ready-mix price increased 1% in Colombian pesos and decreased 17% in
dollar terms versus the year-earlier period.
The average cash cost of goods sold per metric ton decreased 2% in dollar
terms versus the second quarter of 2002.
OTHER OPERATIONS
==============================================================================
Our Central American and Caribbean operations increased sales and domestic
cement volumes by 34% and 26%, respectively, versus the second quarter of last
year. These increases are mainly attributable to a strong performance of our
operations in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, as well as the consolidation
of our newly acquired Puerto Rican unit. Ready-mix volumes increased 332%
versus the year earlier period primarily due to higher volumes in Panama and
the Dominican Republic, as well as the incorporation of Puerto Rican Cement,
which has sizeable ready-mix operations.
In Egypt, sales and domestic cement volume decreased 18% and 24% respectively
versus the second quarter of 2002; however EBITDA was up 10% versus the same
quarter last year. CEMEX Egypt increased cement prices by 39% in Egyptian
pounds versus the first quarter of 2003, which partially explains the decrease
in cement volume. The second quarter of 2002 experienced exceptionally high
cement volumes, which also explains the decrease in volumes during this
quarter when compared to the second quarter of 2002. The construction sector
in Egypt remains stable, with public works driving most of demand. The
commercial and tourism sectors remain depressed.
The average domestic cement price in Egypt increased 3% in dollar terms and
33% in Egyptian pounds versus the second quarter of 2002.
Our Asian operations, which include the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and
Bangladesh, experienced decreased sales and domestic cement volumes of 8% and
5% respectively versus the second quarter of 2002. The average domestic cement
price for the region decreased 9% in dollar terms versus the second quarter of
2002, and increased 6% versus the first quarter of 2003. Lower cement volume
in the Philippines was due to the early start of the rain season, and weak
public works spending. The self-construction sector in the Philippines
continues to be the main driver of demand.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND DISCLOSURES
===============================================================================
Methodology for consolidation and presentation of results
CEMEX consolidates its results in Mexican pesos under Mexican generally
accepted accounting principles. For the convenience of the reader, U.S. dollar
amounts for the consolidated entity are calculated by converting the
constant-Mexican peso amounts at the end of each quarter using the end of
period Mexican peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate for each quarter. The exchange
rates used to convert results for the second quarter of 2003, first quarter of
2003 and second quarter of 2002 are 10.46, 10.78 and 9.94 Mexican pesos per 1
U.S. dollar, respectively. CEMEX's weighted average inflation factor between
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 was 4.83%.
Per-country figures are presented in U.S. dollars for the convenience of the
reader. In the consolidation process, each country's figures are converted to
U.S. dollars (except CEMEX Mexico) and then to Mexican pesos under Mexican
generally accepted accounting principles. Each country's figures presented in
U.S. dollars at June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 can be converted to its
original local currency amount by multiplying the U.S. dollar figure by the
corresponding exchange rate provided below.
To convert June 30, 2002 U.S. dollar figures for Mexico and Venezuela to
constant pesos and bolivars, respectively, as of June 30, 2003 it is necessary
to first convert the June 30, 2002 U.S. dollars to the corresponding local
currency (using the exchange rates provided below), and then multiply the
resulting amount by the inflation rate factor provided in the table below.
June 30
-----------------------
Exchange rate 2003 2002 Inflation rate factor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mexico 10.46 9.94 1.045
Spain 0.87 1.01
Venezuela 1,600 1,353 1.342
Colombia 2,817 2,399
Egypt 6.07 4.64
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amounts provided in units of local currency per 1 U.S. dollar.
The Central America & Caribbean region includes CEMEX's operations in Costa
Rica, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico, as well as
our trading operations in the Caribbean region. The Asia region includes
CEMEX's operations in the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Bangladesh.
CEMEX's quarterly reports before 2003 consolidated CEMEX's operations in
Panama and the Dominican Republic into Venezuela. Beginning in 2003, CEMEX's
Venezuelan operations will not include Panama and the Dominican Republic for
presentation purposes, but will now be consolidated into the Central America &
Caribbean region. For comparison purposes, Venezuela's and Central America &
Caribbean region's figures for 2002 were restated to make them comparable with
the new disclosure procedures.
Definition of terms
EBITDA. Equals operating income plus depreciation and operating amortization.
Free cash flow. Equals EBITDA minus net interest expense, capital expenditures,
change in working capital, taxes paid, dividends on preferred equity, and other
cash items. Capital expenditures. Maintenance spending on our cement and ready
mix businesses, and expansion of current facilities of cement and ready mix.
Equity obligations. Equal the outstanding US$650 million balance of preferred
equity plus the outstanding US$66 million of preferred capital securities.
Net debt. Equals total debt plus equity obligations, minus cash and cash
equivalents.
Interest plus preferred dividend coverage. Is calculated by dividing EBITDA
for the last twelve months by the sum of interest expense and preferred
dividend payments for the last twelve months (all amounts in constant
currency terms).
Net debt/EBITDA. Is calculated by dividing net debt at the end of the quarter
by EBITDA for the last twelve months (EBITDA in constant currency terms).
Capitalization ratio. Is calculated by dividing the sum of total debt, the
US$66 million outstanding preferred capital securities, and the present value
of the forward agreements put in place to hedge our warrant obligations by the
sum of total debt, the US$66 million outstanding preferred capital securities,
the present value of the forward agreements put in place to hedge our warrant
obligations and consolidated stockholders' equity.
Earnings per ADR
For the calculation of earnings per ADR, the number of average ADRs
outstanding used was as follows: 309.2 million for the second quarter of 2003
and 295.8 million for the second quarter of 2002; 306.7 million for the first
six months of 2003, and 299.3 million for the first six months of 2002.
