Report on review of interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated unaudited statement of financial position of Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and its Subsidiaries (together the "Group") as of March 31, 2023, and the related interim condensed consolidated unaudited statements of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with International Auditing Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

 

2.1 Basis of preparation -

 

The interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and derivatives financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Management consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt significant doubt over this assumption.

Notes to interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements

(continued)

 

New standards, interpretations and amendments

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements are consistent with the policies considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group at December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2023. The standards and interpretations relevant to the Group, that are effective since January 1, 2023 are disclosed below.

 

Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8

 

The amendments to IAS 8 clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. They also clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.

 

The amendments had no impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

 

Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

 

The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.

 

The amendments had no impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements but are expected to affect the accounting policy disclosures in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements.

 

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12

The amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases and decommissioning liabilities.

As of March 31, 2022, cross currency swaps that do not have an underlying relationship amounts to US$388,000, have been designated as trading. The effect on profit or loss from its measurement at fair value was a loss of S/109,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

 

(b) Fair values and fair value accounting hierarchy –

 

Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments of the Group, as well as the fair value accounting hierarchy:

 

    Carrying amount     Fair value     Fair value hierarchy  
    2023     2022     2023     2022     2023/2022  
    S/(000)     S/(000)     S/(000)     S/(000)        
                               
Financial assets                              
Cash and cash equivalents     45,273       81,773       45,273       81,773       Level 1  
Trade and other receivables     145,143       145,034       145,143       145,034       Level 2  
Derivative financial assets -"cross currency swaps"     -       86,893       -       86,893       Level 2  
Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income     274       274       274       274       Level 3  
                                         
Total financial assets     190,690       313,974       190,690       313,974          
                                         
Financial liabilities                                        
Trade and other payables     219,738       284,554       219,738       284,554       Level 2  
Senior notes     569,109       1,071,781       513,885       996,156       Level 1  
Fixed rate notes     1,043,099       521,390       905,969       459,117       Level 2  
                                         
Total financial liabilities     1,831,946       1,877,725       1,639,592     1,739,827          

 

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no transfers between the fair value hierarchies.

 

Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

(continued)

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

 

- The fair value of cross currency swaps is measured by using valuation techniques where inputs are based on market data. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include swap valuation models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange, forward rates and interest rate curves.

 

A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is applied to the “Over-The-Counter” derivative exposures to take into account the counterparty’s risk of default when measuring the fair value of the derivative. CVA is the mark-to market cost of protection required to hedge credit risk from counterparties in this type of derivatives portfolio. CVA is calculated by multiplying the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the expected exposure (EE) at the time of default.

 

A debit valuation adjustment (DVA) is applied to incorporate the Group’s own credit risk in the fair value of derivatives (that is the risk that the Group might default on its contractual obligations), using the same methodology as for CVA.

 

- The fair value of the quoted senior notes is based on the current quotations value at the reporting date.

 

- The fair value of the promissory note is calculated using the results of cash flow discounted at the indebtedness market rates effective as of the date of estimation.

 

- The fair value of financial instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income has been determined using the percentage of shareholding of the Company equity of Fossal S.A.

 

16. Commitments and contingencies

 

Operating lease commitments – Group as lessor

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Group, as lessor, has a land lease with Compañía Minera Ares S.A.C., a related party of Inversiones ASPI S.A. This lease is annually renewable and provided a rent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for S/293,000 and S/290,000, respectively.

 

Consortium contract –

 

On December 19, 2022, Distribuidora Norte Pacasmayo S.R.L., subsidiary of the Group, has subscribed a collaboration contract with Flujo Libre S.A.C., with the purpose to participate together in the project “Mejoramiento del Sistema de Pistas y Cerco Perimétrico del Aeropuerto de Piura”. The mentioned contract is valid for a maximum of 2 years and 11 months.

 

On this matter, the Company has communicated to the tax authority the subscription of the collaboration contract which will not take independent accounting and Distribuidora Norte Pacasmayo S.R.L. will be the contracting party that will act as operator of the contract.

 

Capital commitments

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Group had no significant capital commitments.

Environmental matters

 

The Group exploration and exploitation activities are subject to environmental protection standards. Such standards are the same as those disclosed on the consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2022.

 

Tax situation

 

The Company is subject to Peruvian tax law. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the income tax rate is 29.5 percent of the taxable profit after deducting employee participation, which is calculated at a rate of 8 to 10 percent of the taxable income.

 

For purposes of determining income tax, transfer pricing transactions with related companies and companies resident in territories with low or no taxation, must be supported with documentation and information on the valuation methods used and the criteria considered for determination. Based on the analysis of operations of the Group, Management and its legal advisors believe that as a result of the application of these standards will not result in significant contingencies for the Group as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

During the four years following the year tax returns are filed, the tax authority has the power to review and, as applicable, correct the income tax computed by each individual company.

 

The income tax and value-added tax returns for the following years are open for review by the tax authority:

 

  Years open to review by Tax Authorities
Entity Income tax   Value-added tax
       
Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. 2018-2022   Dec.2018-2023
Cementos Selva S.A.C. 2018-2022   Dec.2018-2023
Distribuidora Norte Pacasmayo S.R.L. 2018-2022   Dec.2018-2023
Empresa de Transmisión Guadalupe S.A.C. 2018-2022   Dec.2018-2023
Salmueras Sudamericanas S.A. 2018-2022   Dec.2018-2023
Soluciones Takay S.A.C. 2019-2022   May to Dec.2019-2023

 

Due to possible interpretations that the tax authorities may give to legislation in effect, it is not possible to determine whether any of the tax audits that may be performed will result in increased liabilities for the Group. For that reason, tax or surcharge that could arise from future tax audits would be applied to the income during the period in which it is determined. However, in management’s opinion, any possible additional payment of taxes would not have a material effect on the interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Legal claim contingency

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Group has received claims from third parties in relation with its operations which in aggregate represent S/3,353,000. From this total amount, S/2,753,000 corresponded to labor claims from former employees, S/596,000 is related to the tax assessments received from the tax administration corresponding to 2009 tax period, which was reviewed by the tax authority during 2012 and S/4,000 corresponded to contentious-administrative claims.

 

Management expects that these claims will be resolved within the next five years based on prior experience; however, the Group cannot assure that these claims will be resolved within this period because the authorities do not have a maximum term to resolve cases.

 

The Group has been advised by its legal counsel that it is only possible, but not probable, that these actions will succeed. Accordingly, no provision for any liability has been made in these interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

 

Mining royalty

 

The Group signed agreements with third parties and with Peruvian Government related to the use of concessions for extraction activities on process of cement production. The information of the payment of royalties are reveled on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2022.

 

17. Segment information

 

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on their products and activities, and have three reportable segments as follows:

 

- Production and marketing of cement, concrete, mortar and precast in the northern region of Peru.

 

- Sale of construction supplies in the northern region of Peru.

 

- Production and marketing of quicklime in the northern region of Peru.

 

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

 

Management monitors the profit before income tax of each business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Geographic information

 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all non-current assets are located in Peru and all revenues are from Peruvian clients.

 

18. Financial risk management, objectives and policies

 

The Group’s main financial assets include cash and short-term deposits (with maturity less than 360 days) and trade and other receivables that derive directly from its operations. The Group also holds financial instruments designated at fair value through OCI, cash flow hedges instruments and derivative financial instruments of trading. The Group’s main financial liabilities comprise trade payables and other payables, loans and borrowings, with short-term and long-term maturities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations.

 

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by financial management that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The financial management provides assurance to the Group’s senior management that the Group’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives.

 

The Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as mentioned in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Foreign currency risk -

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency).

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Group hedges its exposure to fluctuations on the translation into soles of its Senior Notes which are denominated in US dollars, by using cross currency swaps contracts, see note 15.

 

Foreign currency sensitivity

 

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the US dollar exchange rate, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before income tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities.

(continued)

 

Liquidity risk -

 

The Group monitors its risk of shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool.

 

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans and debentures of long term. Access to fund sources is sufficiently available and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over under the same conditions with existing lenders, if necessary.

 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no portion of the corporate bonds in soles will mature in less than one year.

 

Risk management activities –

 

As a result of its activities, the Group is exposed to the foreign currency exchange rate risk, thereof the Company has acquired hedging financial instruments to cover this risk. Since November 2014, the Group has hedged its exposure to foreign currency from its corporate bonds (denominated in US dollars). During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there was moderate volatility in the US dollar exchange rate with respect to the soles, whose effects were partially mitigated by the exchange rate hedge maintained by the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, except for the derivatives financial instruments (cross currency swaps) signed by the Company to hedge the foreign currency risk of its Senior Notes, the Group had no other financial instruments to hedge its foreign exchange risk, interest rates or market price (purchase price of coal) fluctuations.

 

As of March 31, 2023 derivatives financial instruments (cross currency swaps) were fully settled in relation with the payment of international bonds in dollars.
