Operating income from our operations in Egypt increased approximately 20%, from approximately Ps3.5 billion in 2009 to<br />
approximately Ps4.1 billion in 2010 in Peso terms, primarily as a result of improved results in our cement operations. Our operations<br />
in the Rest of Africa and the Middle East decreased approximately 73%, from an operating income of Ps830 million in 2009 to an<br />
operating income of Ps228 million in 2010 in Peso terms. The decrease in operating income in the Rest of Africa and the Middle East<br />
resulted primarily from weaker results in the UAE, particularly in cement.<br />
Asia<br />
Our operating income from our operations in Asia decreased approximately 11%, from approximately Ps1.1 billion in 2009 to<br />
approximately Ps982 million in 2010 in Peso terms. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from weaker operating<br />
results in China and Malaysia, along with exchange rate effects.<br />
Our operating income from our operations in the Philippines decreased approximately 9%, from approximately Ps996 million in<br />
2009 to approximately Ps909 million in 2010 in Peso terms. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from exchange rate<br />
effects.<br />
Others<br />
Operating loss in our Others segment improved by approximately 35%, from a loss of approximately Ps4.9 billion in 2009 to a<br />
loss of approximately Ps3.2 billion in 2010 in Peso terms, primarily explained by a substantial increase in our worldwide cement,<br />
clinker and slag trading operations.<br />
Other Expenses, Net. Our other expenses, net, increased, from approximately Ps5.5 billion in 2009 to approximately Ps6.7<br />
billion in 2010, primarily due to higher asset impairments and loss on the sale of assets, as well as amortization of fees related to the<br />
early redemption of debt.<br />
