Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws
in the U.S. and Mexico. 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 and
equivalent provision in Mexican securities laws.
In some cases, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such
as, but not limited to, “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,
“predict,” “potential” and “intend” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements
reflect 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 and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materi-
ally from our expectations. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that
could cause results to differ, or that otherwise could have an impact on us or our subsidiaries,
include: the cyclical activity of the construction sector; competition; general political, eco-
nomic and business conditions; the regulatory environment, including environmental, tax and
acquisition-related rules and regulations; our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Facili-
ties Agreement recently entered into with our major creditors as well as under the indentures
that govern our high yield notes; our ability to consummate contemplated asset sales and to
achieve cost-savings from our cost-reduction initiatives; weather conditions; natural disasters
and other unforeseen events; and other risks and uncertainties associated with our business
and the countries in which we operate.
Readers are urged to read this annual report and carefully consider the risks, uncertainties
and other factors that affect our business. The information contained in this annual report
is subject to change without notice, and we are not obligated to publicly update or revise
forward-looking statements. Readers should review future reports filed by us with the SEC
and the BMV and/or CNBV.
This annual report also includes statistical data regarding the production, distribution, market-
ing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, clinker and aggregates. 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 annual report.
