Exhibit 99.1
CEMENTOS PACASMAYO S.A.A. ANNOUNCES CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2024
Lima, Peru, April 29, 2024 – 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 first quarter (“1Q24”). These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are stated in Soles (S/).
1Q24 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
(All comparisons are to 1Q23, unless otherwise stated)
| ● | Consolidated EBITDA of S/132.8 million, a 10.0% increase, mainly due to lower costs and operational efficiencies as we discontinued the use of imported clinker and used our new and more efficient kiln. |
| ● | Consolidated EBITDA margin of 27.9%, a 2.8 percentage point increase. |
| ● | Sales volume of cement, concrete and precast decreased 7.2%, mainly due to a contraction in demand due to a decrease in public and private investment, a high level of insecurity and a decrease in the self-construction segment explained by a negative effect on activities like fishing and agriculture, two of the most significant sources in our area of influence. |
| ● | Revenues decreased 0.7%, in line with the decrease in volumes mentioned above. |
| ● | Net income of S/ 49.5 million, a 13.8% increase mainly due to the operational efficiencies mentioned above. |

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
During this quarter, we were able to achieve improved margins, despite a challenging demand environment. Although El Niño did not occur in the magnitude that it was formerly expected, Northern Peru was impacted by climatic effects such as higher temperatures and increased water temperatures, which in turn affected agriculture and fishing. Since these are two of the main sources of income in our region, their performance is directly correlated to self-construction demand. Additionally, public and private infrastructure continue to lag behind and a general lack of safety in the country, mainly in the form of extortions, is affecting overall economic activity, including self-construction. Despite the decrease in volumes, we were able to achieve a 10% increase in consolidated EBITDA and 13.8% increase in net income year-over-year, mainly due to operational efficiencies derived from our new kiln in Pacasmayo and our multi-plant production plan. We are confident that we can sustain these efficiencies, and we will strive for more in order to continue being profitable, and also be ready to take advantage of a more favorable demand environment when it occurs.
In our journey to continue developing our building solutions, we recently embarked on the reconstruction of the two runways and the perimeter fence of the Piura Airport, not only as a concrete and pavement provider, but with direct involvement in the construction as part of a consortium. The project has been planned in three phases: Phase 1 includes the construction of the temporary runway, in order to use it while the main runway is rebuilt. This temporary runway is currently in the practical testing process and should be fully operational by the end of May. Phase 2 of the project will tackle the reconstruction of the main runway, which is planned between June and December, and finally phase 3 involves the perimeter and the nucleus between the runways and will also be executed before December 2024. This project marks an inflection point, since we have been involved since the prospecting phase to ensure that the technical terms included the use of concrete pavement, and will be involved until the final delivery of the project. We believe this is a clear example of our transformation from a cement producer to a building solutions company.
As we mentioned last quarter, we invested in the connectivity between our main quarry and the Piura plant. As you may recall, during the first quarter of 2023, rains interrupted this road, and even though we were able to continue operating because of our inventory in plant, restoring regular access was crucial. We invested in rebuilding the road allowing the water to pass beneath it in the event of rains. This new road and the bridges that connect them were inaugurated this March and therefore transit was recovered in both directions, reestablishing communication and economic activity between the cities and towns that are already integrated by this highway.
Finally, we would like to briefly mention that we have recently taken an important step towards the decarbonization of the transport of our main raw materials, incorporating our first gas-powered units to transport seashells from the quarry to our plant in Piura. Migrating our entire fleet from diesel to gas will achieve a 20% decrease in total CO2 emissions of our transport, as well as cost savings. Our goal is to achieve this by the second half of this year, and then move on to replicate this for our Pacasmayo plant. We are convinced that by focusing on cost-efficient alternatives we will continue to progress in our path to lower emissions.
To sum up, this quarter we were able to deliver increased profitability, even with decreasing demand, mostly because of our improved cost structure. Likewise, by focusing on our strategy and providing building solutions, resilient infrastructure and lowering CO2 emissions, we continue to fulfill our purpose of building together the future you dream of.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW 1Q24:
During 1Q24, the Peruvian economy continued the period of contraction that began with the social conflicts and negative climatic conditions that affected the country in 2023, starting with Yaku and followed by the climatic anomalies associated with the coastal El Niño Phenomenon, droughts in the south, and the bird flu outbreak. These climatic events had a direct negative impact on primary sectors such as agriculture, fishing and their related industry. For example, mango production in Peru has experienced a drastic decrease during the 2023-2024 agricultural campaign, severely affected by the El Niño Phenomenon.
At the political and regulatory level, in April, Congress approved the seventh withdrawal from private pension funds for up to 4 UITs, equivalent to S/ 20,600, per member. The Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS) estimates that with the approval of this law, up to S/ 34 billion would be withdrawn, of which only a small portion would go to consumption, so it will not have an effect on inflation. However, it does estimate that it would have an impact on the financial market through increases in long-term interest rates, since pension fund administrators will have to sell part of their portfolios to be able to meet payments.

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 32.9% of the country’s population and 20.0% 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”.
