Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Release Management Comments During 4 Q 19 , we continued seeing a strong trend in sales volumes, which led to over 10 % growth, despite a strong comparable basis . Moreover, we are very pleased with the performance of the concrete and precast segments, which have continued paving the path to our 2030 vision . Concrete and pavement sales increased 20 . 4 % this quarter compared to the same period of last year, and precast sales increased 42 . 6 % during the same period . We believe that, even though some very concrete demanding projects concluded this quarter, such as the Mall Aventura in Chiclayo, there are others in the pipeline that will bring additional demand in the upcoming months . In terms of profitability, our cement EBITDA grew 11 . 5 % this quarter compared to the same period last year, mainly due to the increase in sales volume mentioned above . We would like to take this opportunity to review the year, in terms of financial results as well as strategy and steps taken for future growth and the sustainability of our business . This has been an extraordinary year in sales volumes . Overall cement, concrete and precast volumes grew 10 . 6 % this year, the highest annual growth rate we have seen since 2012 . It is important to mention that non - bagged cement was an important driver of this growth, with concrete and pavement growing 44 . 6 % and precast growing 15 . 6 % compared to 2018 , and growing as a percentage of our sales, from 12 . 6 % in 2018 to 16 . 1 % in 2019 . In terms of EBITDA, in 2019 we accumulated an all - time record of S/ 400 million . We are very pleased with these results but will continue to push for further improvement in 2020 and beyond . Strategically in 2018 we launched our new vision of becoming a building solutions company and we have worked on various fronts during 2019 to get us closer to our 2030 goals . Firstly, we have started a process of cultural transformation in the organization, since we believe this is key and sets the basis for future achievements . Secondly, we have promoted innovation projects to create new products and the use of digital channels to improve the customer experience . In line with the cultural change that we want to promote, in 2019 we achieved a great milestone : we defined a new purpose for the organization, which will help us consolidate our identity, align our teams and strengthen the commitment to our stakeholders . This purpose was created with the participation of more than 1 , 300 employees, clients and users . Under the concept, "We build together the future you dream of", we express our essence, the legacy we want to leave . We believe that a better future is possible, but we are aware that only together we can generate great changes . Another very important milestone this year has been our increased commitment to sustainability throughout the organization . We integrated sustainability commitments to guarantee more demanding social, environmental and governance standards in our operations . These efforts were rewarded with our inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - MILA, a ranking that brings together companies with best practices in the region . Likewise, we obtained for the sixth consecutive year, the Distinctive as a Socially Responsible Company (ESR by its Spanish acronym), a stamp that rewards the Peruvian companies that most stood out in sustainability of their sector . This year, we are also part of Innovandi, the global cement and concrete research network, which was launched by the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) to promote innovation and sustainability in the industry . Pacasmayo is one of 24 companies worldwide, which has already committed to the principles of this network . Moreover, as we mentioned in previous quarters, we were able to switch our Piura plant to work with gas instead of coal, with resulted in a 3 % decreased in CO 2 emissions during this year . In summary, we believe 2019 has been a transformational year, both in terms of the present and the future . We firmly believe that we need a successful present, with good financial, operational and sustainability results, to be able to build a stronger future . 4

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Release Economic Overview 4 Q 19 : During 4 Q 19 , we continued seeing lower than expected GDP levels, but with significant differences between economic sectors . Agriculture remained strong, especially blueberries and avocados that grow mainly in the North . This in turn has a positive effect on cement volumes as it boosts self - construction . Construction GDP also grew above overall GDP, with an expected growth of 3 % for 2019 . During 4 Q 19 two important initiatives of infrastructure spending were approved . First, the special authority for the Reconstruction announced that it would accelerate and boost the execution of reconstruction projects . This will be done through government - to - government contracts with developed countries such as the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany, among others . The Decree also reduces the procedures required for approval in order to expedite the execution of the projects . This allows the approval period to be reduced from 20 to 3 business days . The government to government scheme is similar to the one adopted recently for the construction of infrastructure for the Pan - American Games, which was a great success . We expect that, if these contracts come through, reconstruction spending should accelerate during 2020 . On another front, the Government established extraordinary measures to promote investment in November, in order to boost economic growth, through the implementation of the portfolio of projects prioritized in the National Infrastructure Plan (under public - private partnerships) . The Decree refers to 52 projects, with an overall investment amount of around S/ 1 billion . The effect of these measures will probably be more palpable during the second half of 2020 . Finally, it is important to mention that Peru Dz s country risk is the lowest in the region. . 5

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Release *Import figures are sourced from Aduanet. They represent quantities of imported cement, not shipped cement. Source: INEI, Aduanet Peruvian Cement Industry Overview : Pacasmayo, UNACEM and Cementos Yura supply most of the cement demand in Peru . Pacasmayo primarily supplies the northern region of Peru, while UNACEM supplies 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 23 % of the country’s population and 14 % 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 . 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” .

Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Release Infrastructure Investment in the Area of Influence : Although the anticipated increase in Peru’s large infrastructure projects has been delayed, this remains an important growth driver for the country and also a necessity due to Peru’s significant infrastructure deficit . Although the progress of these projects has been slow, we have continued shipping cement to the ongoing projects, which are shown below, along with the potential demand for the upcoming years . In November, an Emergency Decree was published where extraordinary measures were established to promote investment, in order to boost economic growth, through the implementation of the portfolio of projects prioritized in the National Infrastructure Plan (under public - private partnerships) . The Decree refers to 52 projects, with an overall investment amount of around S/ 1 billion . 7

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Release There are some medium - sized projects that are ongoing or close to execution between 2019 and 2020 listed below . Most of these projects will demand concrete, pavement and other precast products, which are very important in terms of our new strategy as a building solutions company . This quarter we continued shipping concrete to the School for Non - Commissioned Officers in Tarapoto, and to the Auxiliary Units for Talara and we started providing cement to the Chiclayo Airport . In addition, significant spending will be directed towards reconstruction works to address the damage caused by Coastal El Niño in 2017 , based on Government’s Reconstruction Plan . We have seen some acceleration in shipments for reconstruction during this year, but execution still remains low at 25 % as of December, 2019 . Moreover, on December 27 , 2019 , the Government announced by Executive Decree, that it would accelerate and boost the execution of reconstruction projects . This will be done through government - to - government contracts with developed countries such as the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany, among others . The Decree also reduces the procedures required for approval in order to expedite the execution of the projects . This allows the approval period to be reduced from 20 to 3 business days .
