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 materially from our expectations. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other im-
portant 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, economic and business conditions; the regulatory environment, including
environmental, tax and acquisition-related rules and regulations; our ability to satisfy our
obligations under the Facilities 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 un-
certainties 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, mar-
keting 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.
