Dividends

Dividends are declared by our shareholders at a general ordinary meeting. The dividend declaration is usually based upon the recommendation of our board of directors.


For 2009 to 2011, CEMEX shareholders approved an increase in the capital stock of the Company in its variable portion through capitalization of retained earnings. For additional information on the 2011 capitalization program please click here.

The following table shows the dividend for the period of 2004 to 2008 and capitalization of retained earnings from 2009 to 2011.

1Dividends from 2004 to 2005 were declared in Mexican pesos. However, ADS holders electing cash received the dividend in U.S. dollars. These amounts represent the approximate U.S. dollar amount distributed to ADS holders. Dividends from 2006 to 2008 were declared in U.S. dollars.

Our board of directors will continue to base their recommendation whether to continue to pay dividends and the amount of those dividends on, among other things, our earnings, cash flow, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors.
