1 In 2012, due to the decision to transfer certain milling assets from Spain to Colombia, CEMEX cancelled approximately $323 of goodwill in Spain
associated with the original acquisition of the entity that held the assets against other expenses, net.
2 In 2012, due to the classification of certain CGUs in the United States to assets held for sale, considering the historical average Operating EBITDA
generation of such CGUs, CEMEX allocated approximately $212 of goodwill related to the groups of CGUs to which goodwill had been allocated in
such country to the fair value less cost to sale associated with such assets recognized in assets held for sale (note 12).
3 In 2011 and 2010, based on impairment tests made during the last quarter of such years, CEMEX recognized within “Other expenses, net” goodwill
impairment losses in connection with the CGUs to which goodwill had been allocated in Latvia for approximately $145 (US$12) in 2011, and
in Puerto Rico for approximately $189 (US$15) in 2010. The impairment losses in such countries represented 100% of the amount of goodwill
allocated to such CGUs. In 2012, there were no impairment losses of goodwill (note 15C).
