Financial and Operational Highlights:

3Q17 Highlights

(All comparisons are to 3Q16 unless otherwise stated)

• Sales volume of cement, concrete and blocks increased 4.8%, primarily due to increased sales volume to the self-construction segment and a pick up in public sector spending mainly for repairs, towards the end of the quarter. Peru was affected by Coastal El Niño that resulted in significant losses. Official reconstruction spending from the government has not yet started so there is still space for significant growth in the next quarters.
• Revenues increased 6.7%, primarily due to the increase in volume described above as well as an increase in price.
• Gross margin of 40.1%; a 2.7 percentage point decrease mainly due to higher raw materials costs after damage from Coastal El Niño.
• Consolidated EBITDA increased 38.9% as compared to 2Q17, to 107.2 MM. Cement EBITDA margin increased to 32.2%, from 27.6% in 2Q17.
• Net income of Continuing Operations of S/38.6 million; a 15.7% decrease mainly due to lower operating profit resulting from increased costs of some raw materials, as well as continued expenses related to transporting raw material via an alternate route as well as to exchange rate-related gain in 3Q16.

9M17 Highlights

(All comparisons are to 9M16, unless otherwise stated)

• Sales volume of cement, concrete and blocks decreased 3.5% primarily due to a sharp decline in sales volume in the first four months of the year associated with Coastal El Niño.
• Revenues decreased 2.8%.
• Gross margin of 39.8%, 1 percentage point lower than 9M16.
• Consolidated EBITDA of S/266.9 million, a 7.7% decrease, mainly due to Coastal El Niño related damages. Cement EBITDA margin of 30.0%, a 1.5 percentage point decrease resulting from lower operating profit.
