CEMEX contributes additional assets to joint venture with Ready Mix USA

September 1, 2005


CEMEX Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of CEMEX (NYSE:CX), a growing global building solutions company, and Ready Mix USA, a private ready-mix concrete company with operations in the Southeastern United States, today announced that they have signed an agreement to expand the scope of their recently formed joint venture.

Under the initial arrangement that was completed on July 1, 2005, CEMEX Inc. contributed two cement plants (Demopolis, AL and Clinchfield, GA), eleven cement terminals, and its ready-mix aggregates and block assets in the Florida Panhandle and Southern Georgia to the joint venture. Ready Mix USA contributed all of its ready-mix and aggregate operations in Alabama, Georgia, the Florida Panhandle and Tennessee, as well as its block operations in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama. The cement assets of the joint venture are being managed by CEMEX, and the ready-mix, aggregate and block assets are being managed by Ready Mix USA.

As a part of the expansion of the joint venture, CEMEX will contribute 27 additional ready-mix plants and 4 additional block facilities that are located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area and are currently operating under the Allied Ready Mix name. In return for the contribution of these additional assets, CEMEX will receive from the joint venture $ 91,560,000 plus additional cash for the working capital related to those assets. Ready Mix USA will manage these newly contributed assets.

CEMEX will use the proceeds from the additional contribution of assets to reduce net debt. As a result, the company expects to achieve a 2.7 times or better net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio by the end of the third quarter of 2005.
