1/ In accordance with the criteria established in IFRS 5, net income from continuing operations includes Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and its subsidiaries, except Fosfatos del Pacifico operations, which are included in net income from discontinued operations.
2/ Corresponds to EBITDA excluding the Salmueras Sudamericanas project which is not linked to the cement business and is currently in pre-operating stages, therefore it is not generating revenues.
Management Comments
Cementos Pacasmayo’s results for the first quarter of 2017 again underscore the strength of our operations; our focus on cost reduction and optimized efficiency throughout the organization again supported our performance this quarter despite uniquely challenging circumstances. Our Piura plant is now showing some of its benefits, with increased capacity, lower cost and logistical flexibility favorably impacting gross margins as compared to the same period in 2016, when we were also required to use costly and volatile imported clinker. Furthermore, despite the heavy rains, the plant passed the test with flying colors and did not stop production at any point. While we did experience a decrease in volumes during the quarter, Pacasmayo was nevertheless able to maintain positive EBITDA margins despite the acutely adverse effects of one of the most severe natural disasters that we’ve seen in 20 years.
As most of you know, in recent months Peru has experienced intense torrential rains caused by what scientists call a “coastal El Niño”, with unusually warm waters just off Peru’s Pacific coast that have triggered rains resulting in devastating floods that have overwhelmed the surrounding towns concentrated in Peru’s northern region. Downtown areas of several cities have been under water for days with floods that have destroyed homes, crops and have killed an estimated 113 people as of the last report. Cementos Pacasmayo has taken an active role in relief assistance, mobilizing manpower and machinery to clear roadways and drain flooding. We have also provided urgent support through humanitarian aid, including a donation of 120 tons of food, water, supplies and equipment. Pacasmayo employees have formed a “Pacasmayo Brigade”, to assist their neighbors. I myself have been closely involved in our Company’s participation, and was unfortunately unable to attend our Pacasmayo Investor Day last month due to related responsibilities.
The effects of this disaster will unfortunately impact the economy of our country in the year ahead. The damage has had an impact across sectors, which will lead to spillover effects throughout as well as on other critical infrastructure, as resources will need to be reallocated to reconstruction efforts. So while the economic ramifications of the disaster cannot yet be accurately quantified, Peru’s economy will be affected by the natural disaster, as already suggested by the decline in both consumer and business confidence in March. However, amid the gloom, Peru’s relatively healthy fiscal situation provides one of the few silver linings: a public contingency fund helped to soften the immediate aftermath of the floods, and the government is likely to unlock further funds for reconstruction in the coming years. Peru is also better positioned to withstand the economic and financial cost than in the past, with benefit of the commodities boom and unprecedented resources and lines of credit to finance reconstruction.
Looking ahead, while February and March were particularly challenging months for Pacasmayo in terms of weather-related impacts, we are expecting some improvement during 2Q17. The high-efficiency Piura plant, which has been an important component to our ability to increase scale and strengthen margins, will also play a key role in Peru’s recovery. Piura’s increased capacity will be critical to address the additional demand associated with Peru’s important reconstruction efforts. Separately, Pacasmayo’s long term projects remain on track. We therefore expect our volumes to recover in the second half, with margins that should continue to improve.
Economic Overview for 1Q17:
During 1Q17, Peru has experienced one of the most severe natural disasters of the past 20 years. Since mid-February, landslides, flooding and intense rainfall have affected the country, particularly the North of Peru. This phenomenon has been named “Coastal El Niño”, since it differs from the well-known El Niño phenomenon. This was impossible to predict, and as recently as January experts believed the likelihood of a mild El Niño was less than 30%.
This phenomenon has resulted in significant destruction of infrastructure and homes. As of April 18, 113 people have died, 178,701 directly damaged and 237,906 homes affected. Apoyo Consultoría has estimated the damages to infrastructure at over US$ 3.3 billion, detailed below. However, these numbers are preliminary estimates and do not include roads, sidewalks, sewage, that have not been officially quantified yet.

The need for reconstruction is urgent, the funding is available, however, what could be lacking is execution capacity.
The Government has recently announced aggressive measures to boost economic growth through a recovery package in the total amount of S/ 5.5 billion (0.8% of GDP), the most significant of these being the boost to public investment. This is the most aggressive package since that which was instituted in 2009-2010.
Peruvian Cement Industry Overview
:
Cement demand in Peru is mainly supplied by Cementos Pacasmayo, UNACEM and Cementos Yura. Cementos 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 13% of national Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). Despite sustained growth in the country 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”.
Main Infrastructure Projects in the Area of Influence:
Although the anticipated increase in Peru’s infrastructure spending has been delayed, this remains a priority for 2017-2018. Aside from the projects shown below, there will also be significant spending for reconstruction works related to
coastal El Niño
which we cannot yet estimate as the damages are ongoing.
Specifically in the northern region of Peru, where Cementos Pacasmayo is the leading provider of cement, the two larger projects in the execution phase are:
·
|
Talara Refinery – Cementos Pacasmayo has been contracted to provide cement, concrete and piles for this project. The Company estimates that as of March 31, 2017, approximately 91% of the total cement needed has been shipped.
|
·
|
Longitudinal de la Sierra Highway – Cementos Pacasmayo has been contracted to provide cement and concrete for this project. As of March 31, 2017, the Company estimates that approximately 57% of the total demand for the project has been shipped. Execution has been slow due to rains but we expect it to pick up in the coming months
|
Chavimochic is currently on hold, until the bidding process is again opened for the project’s conclusion.
In addition to these projects, 3 new projects are near the execution phase: The new city of Olmos, Alto Piura and the Huacrachuco-Sausacocha road.

Cement production volume at the Piura Plant increased 53.8% in 1Q17 compared to 1Q16, since the plant was still in the ramp up process in 1Q16.
Total cement production volumes decreased 6.7% in 1Q17 compared to 1Q16, mainly as a consequence of decreased sales volume due to heavy rains and flooding in the North coast of Peru.
