ALFA, S.A.B. DE C.V. FIRST QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL REPORT ALFA REPORTS 1Q17 EBITDA OF U.S. $528 MILLION Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, April 24, 2017.- ALFA, S.A.B. de C.V. (ALFA), a leading Mexican industrial company, reported today its 1Q17 unaudited financial results. Total revenues were U.S. $3,997 million, up 5% year-on-year primarily due to higher petrochemical feedstocks and aluminum prices. EBITDA was U.S. $528 million, down 9% vis-à-vis 1Q16, mainly explained by lower margins for polypropylene, adverse metal lag in Nemak and higher raw material costs at Sigma. Alvaro Fernandez, ALFA’s President, commented on the Company’s results: “Overall 1Q17 results were generally in line with guidance provided last quarter as ALFA continued to face unfavorable market and economic conditions marked by uncertainty and high volatility. Alpek’s results were supported by better-than-expected performance in Plastics & Chemicals and higher oil prices; Sigma was affected by ongoing startup costs in Europe and higher raw materials; Nemak’s volume growth couldn’t compensate the effect of negative metal price lag, while Axtel’s enterprise business provided a solid base for growth”. Consolidated capital expenditures and acquisitions amounted to U.S. $297 million during 1Q17. Net Debt at the quarter end of U.S. $6,359 million was 3% higher when compared to the U.S. $6,145 million in 1Q16. At the end of the quarter, financial ratios were: Net Debt to EBITDA: 2.8 times; Interest Coverage: 6.1 times. Majority Net Income was U.S. $154 million in 1Q17, compared to U.S. $142 million in 1Q16. This year-on-year increase is mainly the result of lower operating results but higher Comprehensive Financing Income (“CFI”) due to higher foreign exchange gains stemming from the appreciation of the peso during the quarter.

INDUSTRY COMMENTS

During 1Q17, the consumer markets were mixed across Sigma’s main regions of operations. In Mexico, the averageconsumer confidence index reported by INEGI (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía – National Institute forStatistics and Geography) was down 17% year-on-year.

Message from the CEO

Plastics & Chemicals (P&C) segment performance and higher feedstock prices contributed to a better-than-

expected start this year. Alpek’s first quarter 2017 consolidated EBITDA was U.S. $158 million, down 8% versus 1Q16

and up 19% compared with the previous quarter.

1Q17 consolidated EBITDA benefited from a rising oil and feedstock price environment. For instance, the

average U.S. paraxylene contract price increased 20% and 10% versus 1Q16 and 4Q16, respectively. Also, the average

U.S. propylene contract price was up 52% year-on-year and 30% quarter-on-quarter.

Higher feedstock prices resulted in a U.S. $26 million non-cash inventory gain during this first quarter,

comprised of a U.S. $19 million gain in Polyester and an U.S. $8 million gain in P&C.

Polyester segment EBITDA was U.S. $87 million in 1Q17. Adjusting for non-cash inventory gains, Comparable

Polyester EBITDA was U.S. $69 million; in line with Alpek’s 2017 Guidance.

Comparable 1Q17 Polyester EBITDA was down 19% versus 1Q16 as moderate improvements in PTA, Fibers

and Cogeneration were more than offset by lower PET margins. In contrast, the 4% sequential increase in Comparable

segment EBITDA reflects a recovery after disruptions caused by Hurricane Matthew in 4Q16, as well as progress in

Selenis Canada Inc. which generated a smaller loss than in the previous quarter.

The combination of a recent upswing in caprolactam margins and favorable January figures in our

polypropylene (PP) and expandable polystyrene (EPS) businesses supported better-than-expected first quarter P&C

results. 1Q17 P&C EBITDA was U.S. $70 million and Comparable segment EBITDA was U.S. $63 million; above Alpek’s

2017 Guidance.

First quarter Comparable P&C EBITDA was down 34% versus the segment’s record 1Q16 figure, mainly due

to lower PP margins. However, sequential improvement across P&C products resulted in a 20% quarter-on-quarter

increase in Comparable 1Q17 P&C EBITDA.

Capex totaled U.S. $76 million in 1Q17, and is expected to reach U.S. $238 million by year-end as a result

of programmed strategic projects. The Altamira power cogeneration facility accounted for almost 70% of Alpek’s

first quarter Capex. Other investments included the 75,000 ton per year EPS capacity expansion in Altamira,

Mexico, and the completion of two propylene storage spheres.

In addition to the progress in organic projects, we obtained all necessary corporate approvals to acquire

100% of PetroquímicaSuape and Citepe from Petrobras for U.S. $385 million. This amount is payable on the closing

date which is still dependent on several conditions precedent, including approval by the Administrative Council for

Economic Defense (CADE) in Brazil.

As the acquisition process moves forward, we are working on several fronts that would reduce debt

financing for the potential transaction. Hence, a formal process to monetize our power cogeneration assets is

underway. We believe that acquiring the Brazilian assets, while preserving Alpek’s investment grade rating is in

our shareholder’s best interest.

Certain positive developments in our P&C segment and higher feedstock prices during 1Q17, partially

offset some of the headwinds we anticipated in the beginning of the year. However, we maintain our original

outlook for the remainder of 2017. Adjusting for non-cash inventory gains, 1Q17 Comparable Consolidated EBITDA

was U.S. $131 million or 26% of Alpek’s U.S. $502 million full-year EBITDA guidance.

Results by Business Segment

Polyester (Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polyester fibers – 71% of Alpek’s Net Sales)

Alpek’s first quarter 2017 Polyester revenues were up 9% year-on-year and 8% quarter-on-quarter, mainly

as a result of higher prices. Average 1Q17 Polyester prices increased 9% versus 1Q16 and 6% when compared with

4Q16, reflecting the recovery in crude oil and feedstock prices such as paraxylene (Px) and monoethylene glycol

(MEG). The average U.S. contract Px price reached its highest level since 3Q15.

1Q17 Polyester volume was up 1% when compared to 1Q16 and 4Q16. However, segment volume was lower

than expected as growth driven by the integration of Selenis Canada Inc. (PET) was partially offset by subpar PET

volume in Mexico and Argentina.

First quarter 2017 segment EBITDA was U.S. $87 million, including a U.S. $19 million non-cash inventory gain.

Adjusting for inventory gains, Comparable 1Q17 Polyester EBITDA decreased 19% versus 1Q16. As anticipated, the

year-on-year decline in U.S. PET margins more than offset moderate EBITDA growth in other parts of the Polyester

segment such as PTA, Fibers and Cogeneration. Comparable 1Q17 Polyester EBITDA increased 4% against the

previous quarter which was negatively impacted by unplanned shutdowns associated to Hurricane Matthew and a

higher EBITDA loss at Selenis Canada Inc.

Plastics & Chemicals (P&C) (Polypropylene (PP), Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), Caprolactam (CPL), Other products – 29% of Alpek’s Net Sales)

1Q17 P&C revenue was up 9% and 13% when compared to 1Q16 and 4Q16, respectively, as higher average

prices more than offset mixed volume figures. Average 1Q17 P&C prices increased 12% year-on-year and 10%

quarter-on-quarter driven by higher feedstock prices, mainly propylene and styrene.

First quarter 2017 P&C volume was down 3% versus 1Q16 and up 3% when compared to 4Q16. PP was the

main underlying driver, posting a volume decrease compared with its all-time high in 1Q16, while increasing versus

4Q16 which was negatively impacted by a multi-week planned maintenance shutdown as well as a weak propylene

price environment.

1Q17 P&C EBITDA totaled U.S. $70 million, including an U.S. $8 million non-cash inventory gain. Adjusting for

inventory gains, Comparable 1Q17 P&C EBITDA decreased 34% versus the segment’s record 1Q16 figure which was

boosted by peak PP margins. Since then, PP margins declined and appear to have stabilized in line with Alpek’s

estimations. Comparable 1Q17 P&C EBITDA was 20% higher than 4Q16 and above Alpek’s 2017 Guidance driven by

better-than-expected PP and EPS results in January as well as the recent upswing in CPL margins. 1Q17 CPL reference

margins posted their highest level since 2012.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net Sales: Net Sales for the first quarter totaled U.S. $1.3 billion, up 9% year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter,

mainly due to higher average consolidated prices in both business segments. Average 1Q17 consolidated prices

increased 10% and 7% when compared with 1Q16 and 4Q16, respectively. 1Q17 consolidated volume was flat

year-on-year and up 2% on a quarterly basis.

EBITDA: 1Q17 EBITDA was U.S. $158 million, down 8% when compared with 1Q16 and 19% higher than 4Q16. This

quarter’s Consolidated EBITDA includes a U.S. $26 million non-cash inventory gain. Adjusting for inventory gains,

Comparable Consolidated EBITDA was U.S. $131 million, U.S. $117 million and U.S. $179 million in 1Q17, 4Q16 and

1Q16, respectively. Comparable 1Q17 Consolidated EBITDA decreased 26% year-on-year mainly due to lower PP and

PET margins, as anticipated. The 12% increase versus Comparable 4Q16 Consolidated EBITDA was largely driven by

better-than-expected P&C segment results.

Profit (Loss) Attributable to Controlling Interest: Profit Attributable to Controlling Interest for the first

quarter of 2017 was U.S. $87 million, compared to U.S. $72 million and U.S. $28 million in 1Q16 and 4Q16,

respectively. 1Q17 Profit Attributable to Controlling Interest increased versus 4Q16 and 1Q16 as a higher Income Tax

was more than offset by a non-cash Fx gain following the recent appreciation of the Mexican Peso.

Capital Expenditures and Acquisitions (Capex): 1Q17 Capex was U.S. $76 million, compared to

U.S. $32 million and U.S. $75 million in 1Q16 and 4Q16 respectively. The majority of these funds were invested in the

350 MW power cogeneration plant in Altamira, Mexico. Other projects such as the EPS capacity expansion in

Altamira, Mexico and the construction of two propylene spheres advanced as planned.

Net Debt: Consolidated Net Debt as of March 31, 2017 was U.S. $1.175 billion, up 30% year-on-year and 13%

quarter-on-quarter. On an absolute basis, Net Debt increased U.S. $134 million during 1Q17. Dividends, CAPEX and

investment in Net Working Capital were among the largest cash flow line items in the first quarter. Consolidated

Dividends include U.S. $72 million paid to shareholders in March, as approved at Alpek’s Annual Shareholders

Meeting. Capex is associated to the ongoing development of strategic projects, mainly the Altamira power

cogeneration plant. Investment in Net Working Capital reflects a rising feedstock price environment. Gross Debt as

of March 31, 2017 was U.S. $1.301 billion, up 13% and 10% when compared to 1Q16 and 4Q16 respectively. 1Q17

Cash and Cash equivalents balance was U.S. $126 million. Financial ratios as of March 31, 2017 were: Net Debt to

LTM EBITDA of 1.8 times and Interest Coverage of 10.0 times.

STATEMENT OF INCOME

1Q17 vs.(%)

April 24, 2017 1

Nemak posts 1Q17 EBITDA1 of US$190 million

Monterrey, Mexico. April 24, 2017. - Nemak, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Nemak”) (BMV: NEMAK), a leading provider of innovative lightweighting solutions for the global automotive industry, announced today its operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2017 ("1Q17"). What follows is an overview of the quarter’s main highlights:

Key Figures

For 1Q17, sales volume increased 2.3% year-over-year due to the strength of Nemak´s Europe and Rest-of-World (“RoW”) regions more than offsetting decline in North America. Meanwhile, higher volumes combined with higher aluminum prices drove a 4.4% year-over-year increase in revenues. These results notwithstanding, 1Q17 EBITDA was US$190 million, a 9.1% decrease vis-a-vis the same quarter in 2016. This decrease was mainly due to two negative effects: one, the time lag needed to pass through aluminum price increases to customers (“metal price lag”); and two, lower volumes in North America. 1Q17 capex was US$143 million as the company continued to move ahead with strategic projects, reaching new milestones in the expansion of its footprint as well as the scale-up of its new structural and electric vehicles (“EV”) components businesses.

Message from the CEO

We saw profitability down this quarter mainly due to the negative impact of metal price lag. Continued softness in the passenger car segment in North America also weighed on our results, albeit to a lesser extent. The ramp-up of new programs in our Europe and Rest-of-World regions remained a bright spot, partially offsetting the aforementioned headwinds.

Turning to strategic projects, I am pleased to share that we reached several key milestones in the expansion of our global footprint as well as the execution of our plans in structural and EV components. First, we moved forward with the post-merger integration process in Turkey as expected, ensuring business continuity and delivering good results. Second, our team in Poland successfully brought our first three structural components programs to volume production, reinforcing our positive outlook for this new business line. Last, we officially inaugurated a new state-of-the-art production plant in Monterrey, Mexico. Equipped with high-pressure die casting

technology, this plant will support the production of engine blocks, transmission cases, and structural components, with most of the volume to be machined on-site.

On the financing front, during the quarter we successfully placed a seven-year, 500 million euro bond, which bears a 3.25% coupon. The proceeds from this placement were used to prepay shorter maturity debt, increasing the average life from four to six years. Additionally, it enabled us to better match the currency mix of our debt and cash flows in euros and further diversify our sources of funding.

Automotive Industry

In the quarter, SAAR for vehicle sales was nearly flat compared to 1Q16, as higher sales of trucks and large SUVs were offset by lower sales of passenger cars. North America vehicle production increased 1.6%, mainly due to the continued relocation of production to North America from other regions. In addition, Nemak customers’ vehicle production in North America rose 2.7% as higher overall production more than offset the combined impact of the discontinuation of production of FCA´s small- and medium-size sedan platforms and lower passenger car production volumes from Ford.

In Europe, vehicle sales SAAR in 1Q17 was up 1.2% compared to 1Q16 as growth in Western Europe outweighed a decrease in Eastern Europe. Vehicle production increased 7.8%, driven by higher sales during the quarter, while that of Nemak’s customers grew at a similar pace.

Recent Developments

During the quarter, Nemak won new contracts worth approximately US$125 million in annual revenues. These included a new program to produce structural components for Daimler. With this new program, Nemak has been awarded contracts to produce structural components for all premium German OEMs.

Nemak successfully launched three new programs at its plant in Poland to produce structural components for BMW and Audi.

On February 17, Nemak´s operation in Slovakia was recognized by FCA for its outstanding contributions to the successful launch of the engine platform serving Alfa Romeo’s first-ever SUV line as well as its all-new sedan.

April 24, 2017 3

Financial Results

What follows is an explanation of the results shown in the table above:

Total volume increased by 2.3% in 1Q17 as the ramp-up of new production programs in Europe and RoW more than compensated for lower volumes in North America. The acquisition in Turkey also contributed to this increase. In turn, higher volumes combined with double-digit increases in global aluminum price references resulted in a 4.4% year-on-year increase in revenues.

1Q17 operating income decreased 15.7% year-on-year, mainly as a result of aluminum price increases which created the aforementioned “metal price lag” effect. The comparison vis-a-vis 1Q16 was even more difficult taking into account that the metal price lag effect was positive in 1Q16. Additionally, the effect of lower volumes in Nemak’s North American operations contributed to this decrease. Lower operating income translated into an operating margin of 10.1%, 240 basis points below 1Q16.

The decrease in operating income already explained resulted in a 9.1% year-over-year decrease in EBITDA. 1Q17 EBITDA margin was 16.9%, down from the 19.4% reported in 1Q16. 1Q17 EBITDA per equivalent unit was US$14.40, down from US$16.20 in 1Q16.

1Q17 net income decreased 30.9% compared to 1Q16 mainly due to the already-mentioned decrease in operating income combined with increased financing expenses associated with the Eurobond issuance in March.

Capital expenditures totaled US$143 million during 1Q17. Investments were made to expand capacity, update existing production equipment, and improve operational efficiency. These included activities associated with the ramp-up of two new facilities in Mexico—a production plant and a machining center—as well as a new production plant in Slovakia and expansion in Poland.

As of March 31, 2017, Nemak reported Net Debt in the amount of US$1.3 billion, including Cash and Marketable Securities worth US$109 million. Financial ratios were: Debt, net of Cash, to EBITDA, 1.7 times; Interest Coverage, 11.9 times. These ratios are similar to those reported at the end of 2016.

April 24, 2017 4

Regional Results

North America

In 1Q17, revenues in North America decreased 1.7% compared to 1Q16 mainly due to the impact of lower volumes which was partially offset by higher aluminum prices. Meanwhile, this aluminum price increase created a negative metal price lag effect, which combined with lower volumes caused an 18.9% EBITDA reduction year-over-year.

Europe

In 1Q17, revenues in Europe increased 8.8% compared to 1Q16 mainly due to 12.5% higher volumes and higher aluminum prices, which were partially offset by the depreciation of the euro compared to the US dollar and an unfavorable sales mix. The consolidation of the plant acquired in Turkey in 4Q16 also contributed to the volume increase. EBITDA increased only 3.2% year-on-year as the impact of negative metal price lag partially offset benefits from higher volumes.

Rest of the World (RoW)

In 1Q17, revenues in RoW increased by 37.0% compared to 1Q16 mainly due to higher volumes and a better product mix in Asia. EBITDA in RoW increased US$5 million in 1Q17 compared to 1Q16 due to higher profitability in Asia.

cost). For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the cost of

revenues represented $43 million, a 43% or $13 million increase,

explained by the consolidation of Axtel results for the complete 2017

period and only since February 15th in the 2016 period. In addition, as part

of the homologation accounting process between Axtel and Alestra, costs

that were previously classified as operating expenses related to billing,

collection and maintenance directly associated with customers are being

recorded as costs as of 2017. This adjustment represents a year-over-

year increase of $4 million in the quarter. In peso terms, Cost of

Revenues increased 63% year-over-year.

Operating and other expenses(4) (excludes depreciation and

amortization expense). In the first quarter of year 2017, expenses

totaled $79 million, 16% higher than the $69 million recorded in the same

period in year 2016. This increase is mostly explained by the

consolidation of Axtel results for the complete 2017 period and only since

February 15th in the 2016 period. In peso terms, expenses increased 31%

year-over-year.

EBITDA(5). For the first quarter of 2017, EBITDA totaled $58 million,

a 21% increase compared to the same period in year 2016. In peso

terms, EBITDA increased 36% year-over-year, mostly explained by the

consolidation of Axtel results for the complete 2017 period and only since

February 15th in the 2016 period. For the three month period ended March

31, 2017 and 2016, non-recurring merger and integration process

expenses totaled $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

Interest Expense

At the end of the first quarter 2017, total debt declined $28 million in comparison with

first quarter 2016. The decline is explained by (i) an $86 million increase related to an

additional peso-denominated portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility obtained in April 2016

used to refinance short-term debt, which is reflected in the (ii) $88 million decrease in loans

and other financing obligations; (iii) a $4 million increase in accrued interests, and (iv) a $31

million non-cash decrease caused by the 7% depreciation of the Mexican peso.

Total Debt and Net Debt (7)

Net interest expense reached $18 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $28

million in the same period of 2016, due to the redemption premium related to the prepayment

of the Senior Notes registered in 2016, which was later cancelled in the fourth quarter of 2016

as it represented an obligation for Axtel previous to the merger transaction. In peso terms, net

interest expense reached Ps. 358 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to Ps. 511

million in 2016.

In the first quarter of 2017, capital investments totaled $42 million, compared to $71

million in the year-earlier quarter, a 41% decline due to a non-recurring intangible investment

related to the merger transaction in the first quarter of 2016.
