• New energy division signs joint venture with Pattern Development, a subsidiary of Riverstone

CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today the creation of CEMEX Energia, an energy division seeking to develop a portfolio of power projects in Mexico.

CEMEX Energia envisions advancing development opportunities with no significant capital commitments and expects to build a portfolio that aims to supply about 3% to 5% of Mexico's electricity needs over the next 5 years.

“We are very enthusiastic about Mexico’s energy sector future, and we will leverage on our experience in developing projects that benefit the country,” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of CEMEX. “Our new energy division will be led by Luis Farías and his experienced team.”

The first milestone achieved by CEMEX Energia is the signing of a joint venture with Pattern Development, a partner backed by Riverstone, with strong and proven development expertise that will help to put together a pipeline of renewable energy projects in Mexico and share the development costs, with the objective of creating significant development value. CEMEX Energía will have the option to take minority equity stakes in the energy projects developed by the joint venture.

“We are very pleased to sign this joint venture with Pattern Development. This is a mutually beneficial deal, that will help us leverage the use of our knowledge to continue our industry-leading expertise in the use of clean energy and alternative fuels,” said Luis Farias, CEMEX Vice-president of Energy and now head of CEMEX Energia.

“Through this strategic partnership with CEMEX Energia we have set a goal of jointly developing 1,000 megawatts of renewable generation in Mexico over the next five years,” said Mike Garland, President and CEO of Pattern Development. “Mexico is a natural expansion market due to our development headquarters in Houston and our team’s experience in developing over 1,000 megawatts of wind projects in California, New Mexico and Texas. We enter the rapidly growing renewable energy market in Mexico with a strong and experienced local partner in CEMEX, a global leader in building materials, which has a successful track record of developing projects in Mexico.”

CEMEX will not consolidate any projects from this joint venture and any debt incurred to fund such projects will have no recourse to CEMEX. CEMEX expects to contribute approximately US$30 million into CEMEX Energia over the next 5 years.
