CEMENTOS PACASMAYO S.A.A. ANNOUNCES CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

FOR SECOND QUARTER 2023

 

Lima, Peru, July 20, 2023 – Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and subsidiaries (NYSE: CPAC; BVL: CPACASC1) (“the Company” or “Pacasmayo”) a leading cement company serving the Peruvian construction industry, announced today its consolidated results for the second quarter (“2Q23”) and the first six months of the year (“6M23”). These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are stated in nominal Peruvian Soles (S/).

 

2Q23 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

(All comparisons are to 2Q22, unless otherwise stated)

 

Revenues decreased by 12.1%, mainly due to decreased contraction in demand, particularly in April, in the aftermath of severe rainfall in our area of influence, which affected the self-construction segment, as well as a stagnation in public investment.

 

Sales volume of cement, concrete and precast decreased by 17.9%, mainly due to the above-mentioned reasons.

 

Consolidated EBITDA of S/112.6 million, a 6.6% decrease, mainly due to decreased revenues, partially offset by lower costs.

 

Consolidated EBITDA margin of 25.5%, a 1.5 percentage point increase, mainly due to decreased costs as we stopped using imported clinker.

 

Net income of S/ 43.5 million, a 9.4% decrease mainly due to decreased revenues as mentioned above.

 

6M23 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

(All comparisons are to 6M22, unless otherwise stated)

 

Revenues decreased by 10.3%, mainly due to the impact of cyclone Yaku, causing severe rainfall in our area of influence, as well as low levels of public investment as new regional authorities are still settling in. The negative impact of roadblocks, as a result of social conflict, as well as the low levels of private investment also affected our revenues.

 

Sales volume of cement, concrete and precast decreased by 17.1%, mainly due to the above-mentioned reasons.

 

Consolidated EBITDA of S/233.3 million, a 5.9% decrease, mainly due to decreased revenues.

 

Consolidated EBITDA margin of 25.3%, a 1.2 percentage point increase, mainly due to decreased costs as mentioned above.

 

Net income of S/ 87.0 million, a 7.2% decrease, in line with lower revenues as mentioned above.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

 

During this quarter some demand-side challenges remained in the aftermath of cyclone Yaku and heavy rains mainly in April. Although revenues decreased 12.1% this quarter compared to the same period of 2022, EBITDA margin reached 25.5%, a 1.5 percentage point increase year-over-year. This is a clear indicator of how we are maximizing profitability by striving for efficiencies in a lower demand environment. We are confident that these measures will continue to help us navigate these difficult times successfully.

 

We would like to highlight two very significant events that, although they took place during this quarter, are really the result of long-term efforts. First, we are extremely proud to announce that the EcoSaco innovation obtained the “Gran Effie”, as well as a Gold Effie that was awarded in the “Innovation in product marketing” category and a Silver Effie in the “Positive change in the environment” category. The Effie awards are a symbol of outstanding achievement, recognized worldwide, that honor all types of effective marketing. It is remarkable that a regional cement company, such as Pacasmayo, obtained the greatest prize, since it is usually awarded to companies with a national presence and in the mass consumption segments. We are proud of this outstanding achievement, especially because the product truly represents our DNA. The EcoSaco is an eco-efficient packaging that completely disintegrates in the concrete mix, generating zero waste and contributing positively to the environment.

 

The EcoSaco is our latest innovation, but eco-efficiency has been in our corporate mindset for more than 25 years. During this time we have consistently worked on producing cement with a lower carbon footprint, mainly through decreased clinker factor. We know that there is still a long way to go; however, we are very proud of the results achieved so far. Pacasmayo’s portfolio is mostly made up of blended cements, which have a lower impact on the environment, since they use less clinker in their production. Currently, more than 85% of our cement sales come from blended cements, which have an average of 22% less clinker than traditional Portland cements, achieving significant savings in CO2 emissions during production.

 

Finally, we would like to mention that, for the fifth consecutive year, we are the top ranked cement company in MERCO talent indicator. Moreover, we have improved 11 positions in the overall ranking, reaching 11th place. This demonstrates once again our commitment, as we are convinced that the ability to recruit the best talent will be the most important competitive advantage in the future.

 

To sum up, this quarter we have seen results derived from our long-term strategy. The awards and ranking improvements are the best indicator that our client-centric vision and incorporation of innovation, sustainability and digital transformation as a common thread in our corporate actions are taking us on the right track. However, none of this success would be possible without our people, who are the driving force behind our company. It is thanks to their talent, commitment and determination that we can continue building the future you dream of.

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW 2Q23:

 

During the first half of the year, the downward trend in GDP growth continued, mainly due to the negative impact of roadblocks and the halt in activities, as a result of social conflicts, and due to excessive rainfall, including the effect from Cyclone Yaku in March. The most affected activities were construction, manufacturing and services. The construction sector was affected by the social conflicts and the rains, but a recovery is expected during the second half of the year. For 2024, growth of 3.2% is expected, driven by the recovery of public and private investment.

 

On July 6, Congress approved the creation of the National Infrastructure Authority (ANI for its Spanish acronym), whose objective is to provide the conditions to materialize a strategic vision of public investment through long-term plans and better multi-sector coordination.

 

Likewise, on July 4, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) officially announced the start of the El Niño Phenomenon, after confirming that the conditions that could cause an increase in temperatures and meteorological alterations during the last months of the year were detected in the Pacific Ocean. In the case of Peru, it is expected that from October or November, when the rainy season begins, heavier rainfall will occur, due to the global El Niño Phenomenon and the coastal El Niño. At the moment, the occurrence of rains is expected to be moderate on the northern coast and highlands of Peru, but it is not ruled out that the intensity may change as the ocean temperature evolves.

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, 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.

 

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”.

Gross Margin     36.3 %     34.0 %     2.3 pp.       35.9 %     33.9 %     2.0 pp.  

 

Sales of cement, concrete and precast decreased 10.4% in 2Q23 and 8.4% in 6M23, when compared to 2Q22 and 6M22 respectively, mainly due to decreased volume of bagged cement and concrete due to the decrease in both self-construction and public and private works, as new regional authorities took office in January and are still settling in. Gross margin increased 2.3 percentage points during 2Q23 and 2.0 percentage points during 6M23, when compared to 2Q22 and 6M22 respectively, mainly due to the decreased use of imported clinker because of lower volumes as well as optimization of our current capacity to achieve higher production levels.

Sales of concrete, pavement and mortar decreased 30.6% during 2Q22 and 26.5% in 6M22 compared to 2Q22 and 6M22 respectively, mainly due to decreased public and private investment as new authorities took office recently as mentioned above. However, we have already started seeing signs that the demand from the public segment should pick up during the second half of the year. Gross margin decreased 9.5 percentage points in 2Q23 compared to 2Q22 and 5.5 percentage points in 6M23 compared to 6M22, mainly due to lower dilution of fixed costs.

Consolidated EBITDA decreased 6.6% in 2Q23 and 5.9% in 6M23, when compared to 2Q22 and 6M22 respectively, mainly due to the temporary decrease in demand, due to the negative effects of heavy rainfall during March and April.
