MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

During 4Q24 we saw a reversal of the negative trend in sales volume, resulting in an increase of 2.6% year-over-year. This increase was mainly due to increased sales to the public sector, as well as a pick up in demand for bagged cement. For the whole year 2024, revenues increased 1.4%, despite a slight decrease in sales volumes, mainly due to sales mix and our dynamic pricing strategy. Moreover, consolidated EBIDTA reached a record S/ 549.3 million, with an EBITDA margin of 27.8%. These results, considering a challenging demand environment, are outstanding, and give us the confidence to believe that, taking into account a stronger demand scenario in 2025, we will be able to deliver even better results.

We would like to take this opportunity to look over this past year’s performance, taking a more strategic view of our medium and longer-term goals. As we have mentioned before, digital transformation is one of the most important pillars of our strategy. During 2024 we made significant progress in digital transformation and cybersecurity, aligning technology with the company’s strategic objectives. Initiatives such as our Cyberweek have raised awareness among our workers about digital security, while Demo Days have strengthened the culture of innovation through feedback and the presentation of disruptive projects. In this context, we have promoted the adoption of strategic initiatives such as Pacasmayo 4.0 (digitization of operations), Maverick (user-centered service), Kukla (AI for prospecting) and Gemini AI (process optimization with advanced algorithms). Additionally, in our supply chain, the integration of data in a Data Lake has allowed the implementation of tools such as spend analysis, inventory optimization and dynamic control dashboards, improving operational efficiency. Automation has also been key, highlighting the Service Acceptance project with Smartflow, which modernizes our logistics processes. Although the benefits of this level of automation are evident, it is also key to identify the risks that come with it. Cybersecurity is a matter we take very seriously and are constantly working on improving. This past year, we strengthened the protection of our operational technologies (OT), increasing the maturity of our industrial network. We also consolidated an Information Security Committee with representatives from various management positions. Since 2023, we have implemented IT protection programs that continue to evolve in 2024, ensuring a secure and reliable digital infrastructure aligned with our vision of innovation and technological transformation. As a result of these efforts, we became the first Peruvian cement company to achieve ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for safeguarding the confidentiality and integrity of information.

Now moving on to our medium and long term goals related to sustainability, we are very pleased to announce that we are the first Peruvian cement company to obtain the Environmental Product Declaration from the Global EPD program for three of its cements and plants: Fortimax (Piura, Pacasmayo plant), Extraforte and Type I (Piura, Pacasmayo and Rioja plant). This international certification, verified by AENOR, provides transparent information on the environmental impact of our products throughout their life cycle, which reaffirms our environmental commitment, as well as our leadership in sustainability in the construction sector.

Finally, we would like to focus on two recognitions that we received these past weeks. First, we are extremely pleased to be included, for the fifth consecutive year, in The Sustainability Yearbook by S&P. Along the same lines, for the ninth consecutive year, we were the industry leaders in the Merco Responsabilidad ESG ranking this year. This evaluation includes three types of criteria: environment (E), clients and society (S), ethics and corporate governance (G). Moreover, this year we entered the top 10, placing 9th in the general ranking of the most responsible companies in terms of sustainability in the country. These recognitions give us the confidence to continue moving forward with our sustainability strategy, embedding it at the heart of our business.

2024 has been a year of both challenges and transformation. While rising insecurity—particularly in the form of extortion—negatively impacted demand, we successfully delivered strong results in EBITDA and net income. This year also marked a significant milestone in our journey of innovation and growth, as we spun off our digital solutions company. With over 68 years of experience in the Peruvian market and an unwavering commitment to challenging the status quo, we are confident in our ability to navigate the future with resilience and optimism.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW 4Q24:

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP for its Spanish abbreviation) projected growth of 3.2% for 2024, although with a higher-than-expected fiscal deficit. To better face this situation, the government announced the issuance of sovereign bonds in 2025 in order to finance its commitments. The northern region in particular has had a solid economic performance during 2024, leading the country’s economic growth with an expansion of 5.6%. This growth was mainly attributed to the increase in anchovy fishing, which recorded an increase of 184.0%, benefiting the fishmeal and fish oil industry.

The Peruvian construction sector showed notable dynamism this quarter. According to the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP), in October 2024, construction activity expanded by 4.9%, accumulating growth of 4.3% in the first ten months of the year. This growth was fueled by accelerated public and private projects, alongside a 3.2% increase in domestic cement consumption in October.

The Peruvian Chamber of Construction (Capeco) projected annual growth in the sector of 3.7% for 2024, exceeding the 7.8% contraction recorded in 2023. This rebound is due, in part, to the expansion of domestic cement consumption and the sustained progress of public works in recent months.

A significant milestone this quarter was the inauguration of the Chancay megaport in November 2024, a joint project between the Chinese state company Cosco Shipping and the Peruvian company Volcan. As South America’s first smart port, Chancay aims to position Peru as a key global trade hub and strengthen its ties with the Asian market.

Despite these advances, challenges remain in public investment execution. Capeco warned that only 68.0% of the allocated budget for public projects would be utilized by year-end, leaving approximately 22 billion soles unspent. This shortfall limits the full economic impact of infrastructure projects and raises concerns about the sector’s medium-term sustainability.

PERUVIAN CEMENT INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

The demand for cement in Peru is covered mainly by Pacasmayo, UNACEM and Cementos Yura, and to a lesser extent by Caliza Inca, Holcim, imports and other small producers. Pacasmayo mainly covers the demand in the northern region of the country, while UNACEM covers the central region and Cementos Yura the southern region.

The northern region of Peru, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI) and Apoyo Consultoría, represents approximately 32.5% of the country’s population and 16.0% of national Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). Despite the country’s sustained growth over the last 10 years, Peru continues to have a significant housing deficit, estimated at 1.9 million households throughout the country as per the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (80% qualitative and 20% quantitative deficit).

In Peru, the majority of cement is sold to a highly fragmented consumer base of individuals that tend to gradually buy bags of cement to build or to improve their homes, a segment the industry refers to as “self-construction”.

Sales of cement increased 1.8% in 4Q24 compared to 4Q23 mainly due to an increase in sales volume of bagged cement this quarter.

However, gross margin increased 0.1 percentage points during 4Q24 and 4.1 percentage points during 2024, when compared to 4Q23 and 2023 respectively, mainly due to cost optimization, derived from our new kiln in Pacasmayo, as well as lower costs of raw materials such as coal, as mentioned above.

Sales: concrete, pavement and mortar

(in millions of Soles S/)

Sales of concrete, pavement and mortar represented 15.7% of cement, concrete, and precast sales during 4Q24.

Gross Margin		-2.6	%		8.3	%		-10.9	pp.		-0.3	%		6.6	%		-7.0	pp.

Sales of concrete, pavement and mortar increased 30.9% during 4Q24, when compared to 4Q23 and 48.8% in 2024 compared to 2023, mainly due to increased sales volume of pavement to supply the Piura airport runways improvement project. Gross margin decreased 10.9 percentage points in 4Q24 compared to 4Q23 and 7.0 percentage points in 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the execution of the Piura airport project. There is a difference in exchange rate between the rate projected in the contract versus the real exchange rate, as well as increased costs related to the execution of the Piura airport project, as it extended over our planned execution period. However, this extension did not imply a breach of contract, as the agreed-upon deadline with the client was not exceeded. We remain confident that developing building solutions is the right path for our company, even if it entails some short-term learning curve additional costs.
