Independent Auditors’ Report

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

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss), the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including information about material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) approved for its application in Peru by the Board of Deans of Peruvian Public Accounting Associations. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Peru, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditors’ Report (continue)

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Uncertain tax positions

Description of the Matter

As disclosed in Note 7(c) to the consolidated financial statements, the Group has identified certain income tax-related contingencies associated to the mining royalties of years 2008 and 2009. In these years, relevant taxation authorities have challenged the tax treatment applied by the Group under the royalty law for metallic and non-metallic mining activity in Peru. As of December 31, 2023 the Group has recognized an asset for claim to the SUNAT for an amount of S/29,559,000, resulting from payments made to the taxation authorities as part of the tax claim process in Peru but for which the Group is disputing the validity of the taxation authorities’ assessment. The Group has disclosed, but has not recorded a provision related to these matters, as management has concluded that the criteria for recognition of an income tax liability under IFRS has not been met and that the amounts paid to date are recoverable based upon the technical merits of the income tax positions of royalty law for metallic and non-metallic mining activity taken by the Group.

Uncertainty in a tax position may arise where there is an uncertainty as to the meaning of the tax law, or the applicability of the tax law (General Mining Law) to a particular transaction or both.The Group uses significant judgment to determine whether, based on the technical merits, a tax position is likely than not to be sustained and in the determination of the recoverable amount of the mining royalties paid under protest.

Auditing the estimation of the outcome and measurement of the uncertain tax positions and the related recoverability of the claim for the payments made under protest, before the uncertain tax treatment is resolved, requires a high degree of auditor judgment and significant audit effort due to the complexity and judgement used by the Group in the assessment based on interpretations of the income tax legislation and legal rulings in Peru.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Group’s accounting process for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions and tax contingencies, for example, we tested the controls over management’s review of the technical merits of tax positions, disputed tax assessments and the determination and approval of the recoverable amount of the payments made under protest.

Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the assumptions used by the Group to develop its uncertain tax positions based on relevant Peruvian income tax laws (General Mining Law), including the inspection of the Group´s internal and external counsel analysis of these matters.

In addition, we involved our tax subject controversy matter professionals to assess the technical merits of the Group’s tax position and to evaluate the application of relevant tax law and accounting guidance in assessing the recognition and recoverability of the related income tax receivables.

Furthermore, we evaluated the disclosure of this matter in Note 7(c) to the consolidated financial statements.

Other information included in The Group’s 2023 Annual Report

Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Independent Auditors’ Report (continue)

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

Independent Auditors’ Report (continue)

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

-	Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

-	Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

-	Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2.	Significant accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation –

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognized assets and liabilities that are designated as hedged items in fair value hedges that would otherwise be carried at amortized cost are adjusted to record changes in fair value attributable to the risks that are being hedged in effective hedge relationships. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Soles and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (S/000), except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period or periods. There are certain standards and amendments applied for the first time by the Group during 2022 that did not require the restatement of previous financial statements, as explained in note 2.3.16.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

2.2

Basis of consolidation -

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if it has: (i) power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee), (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

The accounting policies into line with the Group´s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

2.3

Summary of significant accounting policies -

2.3.1

Cash and cash equivalents -

Cash and cash equivalents presented in the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

2.3.2

Financial instruments-initial recognition and subsequent measurement –

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

(i)

Financial assets -

Initial recognition and measurement -

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as measured at amortized cost, fair value through OCI or fair value through profit or loss.

The Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, commercial and other receivables and financial assets at fair value through OCI.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Subsequent measurement -

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories:

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments).

Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments).

Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI without recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments).

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The classification depends on the business model of the Company and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments) -

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to collect contractual cash flows and not sale or trade it, and,

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition, except if the Group changes its business model for its management.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group held trade and other receivables in this category; because they meet the conditions described above.

Financial assets at fair value through OCI (equity instruments) -

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to irrevocably classify its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Group elected to classify irrevocably its non-listed equity investments under this category.

(ii)

Impairment of financial assets -

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 360 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

(iii)

Financial liabilities -

Initial recognition and measurement -

Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Subsequent measurement -

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, the Group maintains Loans and Borrowings, which accounting treatment is explained below:

After their initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method.Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group includes trade and other payables and financial liabilities in this category, for more information refer to notes 11 and 13.

Derecognition -

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference in the respective carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

(iv)

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting –

The Group maintained derivative financial instruments, cross currency swaps, to hedge its foreign currency exchange rate risk, these instruments were current until February 2023, date when there were paid in foreign currency. These derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at their fair values on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and subsequently are remeasured at their fair value. Derivatives are accounted for as financial assets when their fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when their fair value is negative, variation ay fair value were registered in equity.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group doesn’t maintain derivative financial instruments.

(v)

Fair value measurement -

The Group measures financial instruments such as derivatives, and equity investments, at fair value at each period end.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value accounting hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

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 in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Group’s management determines the policies and procedures for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.

At each reporting date, the Financial Management analyzes the changes in the values of the assets and liabilities that must be measured or determined on a recurring and non-recurring basis according to the Group’s accounting policies. For this analysis, Management contrasts the main variables used in the latest assessments made with updated information available from valuations included in contracts and other relevant documents.

Management also compares the changes in the fair value of each asset and liability with the relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For purposes of disclosure of fair value, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities based on the inherent nature, characteristics and risks of each asset and liability, and the level of the fair value accounting hierarchy as explained above, see note 26(b).

2.3.3

Foreign currencies -

The functional and presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements of the Group is soles, which is also the functional currency for its subsidiaries.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

2.3.4

Inventories -

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials, spare part and supplies

Initially at cost and are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Finished goods and work in progress

Cost of direct materials and supplies, services provided by third parties, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads is based on normal operating capacity, excluding borrowing costs and exchange currency differences.

Inventory in transit

Cost.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs of inventory necessary to make the sale.

2.3.5

Borrowing costs -

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Where the funds used to finance a project form part of general borrowings, the amount capitalized is calculated using a weighted average of interest rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Group during the period. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

2.3.6

Property, plant and equipment -

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing component parts of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met (see note 2.3.5).The capitalized value of a finance lease is also included within property, plant and equipment. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized as operation cost or expense in profit or loss as incurred.

The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Refer to significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (note 3) and quarry rehabilitation cost provisions (note 12).

Depreciation of assets is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows:

		Years
Buildings and other construction:
Administrative facilities		Between 20 and 51
Main production structures		Between 20 and 56
Minor production structures		Between 20 and 35
Machinery and equipment:
Mills and horizontal furnaces		Between 24 and 45
Vertical furnaces, crushers and grinders		Between 23 and 36
Electricity facilities and other minors		Between 10 and 35
Furniture and fixtures		10
Transportation units:
Heavy units		Between 5 and 15
Light units		Between 5 and 10
Computer equipment		Between 3 and 10
Tools		Between 5 and 10

The asset’s residual value, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

2.3.7

Mining concessions -

Mining concessions correspond to the exploration rights in areas of interest acquired.Mining concessions are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are presented within the “Property, plant and equipment” caption of consolidated statement of financial position. Those mining concessions are amortized following the straight-line method. In the event the Group abandons the concession, the costs associated (see note 9(b)) are written-off in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, mining concessions of the Group correspond to areas that contain raw material necessary for cement production.

2.3.8

Quarry development costs and stripping costs -

Quarry development costs -

Quarry development costs incurred are stated at cost and are the next step in development of quarries after the exploration and evaluation stage. Quarry development costs are, upon commencement of the production phase, presented net of accumulated amortization and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are presented within the property, plant and equipment caption. The amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the useful life of the quarry to which it relates. Expenditures that significantly increase the economic life of the quarry under exploitation are capitalized.

Stripping costs -

Stripping costs incurred in the development of a mine before production commences are capitalized as part of mine development costs and subsequently amortized over the life of the mine on a units-of-production basis, using the proved reserves.

Stripping costs incurred subsequently during the production phase of its operation are recorded as part of cost of production.

2.3.9

Intangible assets -

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the economic useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

The Group’s intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over an average term between three and ten years.

Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets -

Exploration and evaluation activity involve the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.Exploration and evaluation activity include:

Researching and analyzing historical exploration data.

Gathering exploration data through geophysical studies.

Exploratory drilling and sampling.

Determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource.

Surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements.

Conducting market and finance studies.

Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration and evaluation costs are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss, unless management concludes that a future economic benefit is more likely than not to be realized, in which case such costs are capitalized, see note 10(b).These costs include directly attributable employee remuneration, materials and fuel used, surveying costs, drilling costs and payments made to contractors.

In evaluating if costs meet the criteria to be capitalized, several different sources of information are used, including the nature of the assets, extension of the explored area and results of sampling, among others. The information that is used to determine the probability of future benefits depends on the extent of exploration and evaluation that has been performed.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized when the exploration and evaluation activity is within an area of interest for which it is expected that the costs will be recouped by future exploitation and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing or planned for the future.

All capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are monitored for indications of impairment. Where a potential impairment indicator is identified, an assessment is performed for each area of interest in conjunction with the group of operating assets (representing a cash generating unit) to which the exploration is attributed.

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired, see note 10(c).

2.3.10

Ore reserve and resource estimates -

Ore reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Group’s mining properties and concessions. The Group estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources, based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data.The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body.Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact upon the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, provision for quarry rehabilitation and depreciation and amortization charges, see notes 9, 10 y 12.

2.3.11

Provisions -

General -

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance cost in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Quarry rehabilitation provision -

The Group records the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore operating locations in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Quarry rehabilitation costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of that particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current risk-free rate. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of quarry rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset, see note 12.

Environmental expenditures and liabilities -

Environmental expenditures that relate to current or future revenues are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future earnings are expensed.

Liabilities for environmental costs are recognized when a clean-up is probable, and the associated costs can be reliably estimated. Generally, the timing of recognition of these provisions coincides with the commitment to a formal plan of action or, if earlier, on divestment or on closure of inactive sites.

The amount recognized is the best estimate of the expenditure required. Where the liability will not be settled for a number of years, the amount recognized is the present value of the estimated future expenditure.

2.3.12

Employees benefits -

The Group has short-term obligations for employee benefits including salaries, severance contributions, legal bonuses, performance bonuses and profit sharing. These obligations are recorded monthly on an accrual basis.

Additionally, the Group has a long-term incentive plan for key management. This benefit is settled in cash, measured on the salary of each officer and upon fulfilling certain conditions such as years of experience within the Group and permanency. The Group recognizes the long-term obligation at its present value at the end of the reporting period using the projected credit unit method. To calculate the present value of these long-term obligations the Group uses a government bond discount rate at the date of the consolidated financial statements. This liability is annually reviewed on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the accrual updates and the effect of changes in discount rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

2.3.13

Revenue recognition -

The group is dedicated to the production and trading of cement, concrete, blocks and other minors, as well as trade of construction supplies. These goods are sold in contracts with customers.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, considering contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sales of goods -

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods.

The Group considers whether there are other terms in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

Rendering of services -

In the business segments cement, concrete, blocks and construction supplies, the Group provides transportation services. These services are sold together with the sale of the goods to the customer.

Transportation services are satisfied when the transport service is concluded, which coincides with the moment of delivery of the goods to the customers.

2.3.14

Taxes -

Current income tax -

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities.The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in Peru, where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax -

Deferred tax is determinate on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax related to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

2.3.15

Treasury shares-

Own equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity.No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

2.3.16

New amended standards and interpretations –

The Group applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8

The amendments to IAS 8 clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, 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 consolidated 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 have had an impact on the Group’s disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Group’s 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.

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

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

If signs of impairment are identified, the most significant estimate considered by the Company’s Management will correspond to the evaluation of the impairment of long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Management has not identified signs of impairment for long-lived assets, which is why it considers that there are no significant estimates for those dates.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The standards and interpretations relevant to the Group, that will have effect at January 1, 2024 are below:

Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency take place at the open-market exchange rates published by the Superintendence of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds Administration. As of December 31, 2023 the exchange rates for transactions in United States dollars, published by this institution, were S/3.705 for purchase and S/3.713 for sale (S/3.808 for purchase and S/3.82 for sale as of December 31, 2022).

This is an opposite position to what is established by the Constitutional Court in the STC Exp. N° 1043-2013-PA/TC that declares founded the writ of protection presented by the Company and its right to calculate the Mining Royalty exclusively based on the value of the mining component, without considering in any way the value of the final products derived from industrial and manufacturing processes.

(b)

Mining concessions mainly include net acquisition costs of S/15,488,000 related to coal concessions acquired through a purchase option executed from 2011 to 2013.The caption also includes some concessions acquired by the Group for exploration activities related to the cement business, such as that acquired in January 2023 for S/34,350,000, through the purchase of the company Corporación Materiales Piura S.A.C.

In previous years management recognized a full impairment related to the total net book value of a closed zinc mining unit which included concession costs, development costs and related facilities and equipment.

At the end of 2023, Management recognized a specific impairment to retirement for the net value of the assets of the vertical clinker kilns located at the Pacasmayo cement plant for a net cost of S/36,551,000. This deterioration estimate was carried out as a consequence of replacing the old technology of these kilns due to the entry into operation of the Clinker Lines Optimization Project – Kiln 4 in said plant, which is more efficient and produces fewer emissions. This amount was recorded in the impairment of property, plant and equipment item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Likewise, Management recognized an impairment to retirement of the value of the coal concessions (northern zone) for S/11,393,000, recorded in other operating income (expenses) item of the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

(c)

The Group has assessed the recoverable amount of its remaining long-term assets and, except the assets as specifically mentioned in (b), did not find indicators of an impairment for these assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(d)

Work in progress included in property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is mainly related to complementary facilities of the cement plants.

(e)

As of December 31, 2023, the Group maintains accounts payable related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment for S/9,379,000 (S/14,560,000 as of December 31, 2022), see note 11.

(f)

The borrowing costs are mainly related to the construction of the cement plant located in Piura and to a lesser extent to the construction of the Clinker Lines Optimization Project – Kiln 4 in the city of Pacasmayo. Both plants are already in operation.

Workers’ profit sharing -

In accordance with Peruvian legislation, the Group is obliged to pay its employees profit sharing of between 8% and 10% of annual taxable income. Distributions to employees under the plan are based 50% on the number of days that each employee worked during the preceding year and 50% on proportionate annual salary levels.

The workers’ profit sharing is recognized in the following line items:

	2023		2022
	S/(000)		S/(000)

Cost of sales, note 20		15,244		15,165

Long-term incentive plan -

In 2011, the Group implemented a compensation plan for its key management.This long-term benefit is payable in cash, based on the salary of each officer and depends on the years of service of each officer in the Group.According to the latest plan update, the executive would receive the equivalent of an annual salary for each year of service beginning to accrue from 2019. This benefit accrues and accumulates for each officer and is payable in two installments: the first payment will be made on the sixth year after the creation of this bonus plan, and the last payment at the end of the ninth year from the creation of the plan. If the executive decides to voluntarily leave the Group before a scheduled distribution, they will not receive this compensation. The Group used the Projected Unit Credit Method to determine the present value of this deferred obligation and the related current deferred cost, considering the expected increases in salary base and the corresponding current government bond discount rate (risk-free rate).

(d)

Quarry Rehabilitation provision -

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, it corresponds to the provision for the future costs of rehabilitating the quarries exploited in Company’s operations. The provision has been created based on studies made by internal specialists. Management believes that the assumptions used, based on current economic environment, are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to consider any material change to the assumptions. However, actual quarry rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required to reflect future economic conditions.

Future cash flows have been estimated based on financial budgets approved by Management. The range of the risk-free discount rate in dollars used in the calculation of the provision as of December 31, 2023 was from 0.52 to 4.20 percent and the risk-free discount rate in dollars used in the calculation of the provision as of December 31, 2022 was from 0.54 to 4.14 percent.

Management expects to incur a significant part of this obligation in the medium and long-term. The Group estimates that this liability is sufficient according to the current environmental protection laws approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Peru.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities, and the tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority. The legal right is defined for each individual determination of the income tax of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

A reconciliation between tax expense and the product of the accounting profit multiplied by Peruvian tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

The components of the deferred income tax related to the items recognized in the OCI during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, are as follow:

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Group has not recognized a deferred tax liability for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of the Group’s subsidiaries. The Group has determined that the timing differences will be reversed by means of dividends to be received in the future that, according to the current tax rules in effect in Peru, are not subject to income tax.

As of December 31, 2023, certain subsidiaries of the Group have tax loss carryforwards of S/44,725,000 (2022: S/25,424,000). These tax loss carryforwards do not expire, are related to subsidiaries that have a history of losses for some time and cannot be used to offset future taxable profits of other Group subsidiaries. No deferred tax assets have been recognized in relation to these tax loss carryforwards, since there are no possibilities of tax planning opportunities or other evidence of recovery in the near future.

For information purposes, the temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, would generate an aggregate deferred tax liability amounting to S/126,972,000 (2022: S/104,842,000), which should not be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as it is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and the Company is in control of such reversal.

Usufruct Concessions

In December 2013, the Company signed an agreement with a third party, related to the use of the Virrilá concession, to carry out other non-metallic mining activities related to cement production.This agreement has a term of 30 years, with fixed annual payments of US$600,000 for the first three years and variable payments for the rest of the contract. The related expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 amounted to S/5,273,000, S/9,445,000 and S/7,280,000 respectively, and was recognized as part of cost of inventory production. As part of this agreement, the Company is required to pay an equivalent amount of S/4.5 for each metric ton of calcareous extracted that is indexed by inflation after the first year of exploitation; the annual royalty may not be less than the equivalent to 850,000 metric tons after the beginning of the fourth year of production. The Company signed an agreement with two third parties in October 2007, related to usufruct of the Bayovar 4 concession for an indefinite period to extract seashells and other minerals. As consequence, the Group made payments amounting to US$250,000 for each third party for the first five years and variable payments for the rest of the contract. The related expense as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to S/1,514,000 and S/1,582,000, respectively, and were recognized as part of the cost of inventory production. As part of this agreement, the Company is required to pay an equivalent amount of US$5.1 to each third party for every metric ton of calcareous extracted, with the minimum production level for the calculation of 20,000 metric tons every six months following the beginning of the sixth year of production.

Mining royalty

According with the Royalty Mining Law in force since October 1, 2011, the royalty for the exploitation of metallic and nonmetallic resources is payable on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) an amount determined in accordance with a statutory scale of rates based on operating profit margin that is applied to the quarterly operating profit, adjusted by certain items, and (ii) 1% of net sales, in each case during the applicable quarter. These amounts are estimated based on the unconsolidated financial statements of Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and the subsidiaries affected by this mining royalty, prepared in accordance with IFRS. Mining royalty payments will be deductible for income tax purposes in the fiscal year in which such payments are made.

Mining royalty expense paid to the Peruvian Government for 2023, 2022 and 2021 amounted to S/983,000, S/1,193,000 and S/990,000 and, respectively, and is recognized as part of the cost of inventory production.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Tax situation

The Company is subject to Peruvian tax law. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 for transactions with related companies and companies resident in territories with low or no taxation, must be supported with documentation including information on the valuation methods used and the criteria considered for determination. Based on the 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The tax authority has the power to review and, if applicable, adjust the income tax calculated by each company in the four years subsequent after the year of filing the tax return.

The statements of income tax and value added tax corresponding to the years indicated in the attached table are subject to review by the tax authorities:

	Years open to review by Tax Authority
Entity	Income tax	Value-added tax

Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A.	2018 - 2023	Dec. 2018 - 2023

Corporación Materiales Piura S.A.C.	2019 - 2023	Dec. 2018- 2023

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Due to possible interpretations that the tax authority may give to legislation in effect, it is not possible to determine whether or not any of the tax audits 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 of the period in which it is determined. However, in management’s opinion and that of its legal advisors, any possible additional payment of taxes would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Environmental matters

The Group’s exploration and exploitation activities are subject to environmental protection standards.

Environmental remediation -

Law No. 28271 regulates environmental liabilities in mining activities. This Law has the objectives of ruling the identification of mining activity’s environmental liabilities and financing the remediation of the affected areas. According to this law, environmental liabilities refer to the impact caused to the environment by abandoned or inactive mining operations.

In compliance with the above-mentioned laws, the Group presented environmental impact studies (EIS), declaration of environmental studies (DES) and Environmental Adaptation and Management Programs (EAMP) for its mining concessions.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The Peruvian authorities approved the EIS and EAMP presented by the Group for its mining concessions and exploration projects. A detail of plans and related expenses approved is presented as follows:

Project unit	Resource		Resolution Number	Year of approval		Program approved	Operating year expense
							2023		2022		2021
							S/(000)		S/(000)		S/(000)

Rioja		Limestone	RD186-2014-PRODUCE/DVMYPE-I/DIGGAM		2014	EIA		879		810		713
Tembladera		Limestone	RD304-18-PRODUCE/DVMYPE-I/DIGAAMI		2018	PAMA		320		299		298

								1,199		1,109		1,011

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group had no liabilities related to environmental remediation expenses because all were paid before the end of the year.

Quarry rehabilitation provision -

The Law No. 28090 regulates the obligations and procedures that must be met by the holders of mining activities for the preparation, filing and implementation of Quarry Closure Plans, as well as the establishment of the corresponding environmental guarantees to secure fulfillment of the investments that this includes, subject to the principles of protection, preservation and recovery of the environment. In connection with this obligation, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group maintains a provision for the closing of the quarries exploited by its operations amounting to S/17,676,000 and S/13,377,000, respectively. The Group believes that this liability is adequate to meet the current environmental protection laws approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, refer to note 12.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Legal claim contingency

As of December 31, 2023, the Group has received claims from third parties in relation with its operations which in aggregate represent S/966,000 that corresponded to labor claims from former employees.

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.

25.

Financial risk management, objectives and policies

The Group’s main financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group´s main financial assets include cash and short-term deposits and trade and other receivables that derive directly from its 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.

Management reviews and implements policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

Market risk -

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk (such as equity price risk and commodity risk).

The sensitivity analyses shown in the following sections relate to the Group’s consolidated position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debts and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant and on the basis of the hedge designations in place as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Interest rate risk -

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest; consequently, the management evaluated that it is not relevant to do an interest rate sensitivity analysis.

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, 2023 cross currency swaps were settled in full in correlation with the payment of international dollar bonds.

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.

2022	Change in US$ rate		Effect on consolidated profit before tax
U.S. Dollar	%		S/(000)

		+5		1,638
		+10		3,276
		-5		(1,638	)
		-10		(3,276	)

2023	Change in US$ rate		Effect on consolidated profit before tax
U.S. Dollar	%		S/(000)

		+5		(948	)
		+10		(1,896	)
		-5		948
		-10		1,896

Credit risk -

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to a credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed, and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group had 4 customers, that owed the Group more than S/3,000,000 each accounting for approximately 29% and 23% of all trade receivables outstanding, respectively. There were 25 and 27 customers with balances greater than S/700,000 and less than S/3,000,000, which accounted for approximately 48% and 55% of the total trade receivables, respectively. The evaluation for allowance for expected credit losses is updated at the date of the consolidated financial statements and individually for the main customers. This calculation is based on actual historical data incurred.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 7. The Group does not hold collateral as security.

Cash deposits and hedging derivative financial instruments or at fair value through profit or loss-

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s treasury department in accordance with the Group’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties of first level. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty’s failure to make payments. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of carrying amounts as showed in note 6. The Group’s maximum exposure relating to financial derivative instruments is noted in the liquidity table below.

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 long term debentures. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over under the same conditions with existing lenders, if is necessary.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

Capital management -

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes capital stock, investment shares, additional paid-in capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximize the shareholders’ value.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, among other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the creditors to immediately call the senior notes. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of Senior Notes in any of the years presented.

The Group manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets -

Except for derivative financial instruments and financial instruments designated at fair value through OCI, all financial assets which included trade and other receivables are classified in the category of loans and receivables, which are non-derivative financial assets carried at amortized cost, held to maturity, and generate a fixed or variable interest income for the Group. The carrying value may be affected by changes in the credit risk of the counterparties.

Financial liabilities -

All financial liabilities of the Group including trade and other payables financial obligations are classified as loans and borrowings and are carried at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments -

Hedging derivatives -

Foreign currency risk -

As of December 31, 2022, the Company maintains cross currency swaps agreements for a notional amount of US$132,000,000, with maturity in 2023 and an average rate of 2.97%. Of this total, US$131,612,000 has been designated as hedging instruments for Senior notes that are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the intention of hedging the foreign exchange risk.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The cash flow hedge of the expected future payments was assessed to be highly effective and resulted in an unrealized gain of S/2,154,000 for the year 2023 (unrealized gain of S/3,838,000 during 2022). The amounts retained in OCI of 2022 are expected to be recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in 2023, the year of its maturity.

As of December 31, 2023, cross currency swaps were settled in full in correlation with the payment of international dollar bonds.

Assets (liabilities) from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss -

As of December 31, 2022 the Company held cross currency swaps that do not have an underlying relationship amounts to US$388,000.The effect on profit or loss of the change in their fair value was a loss of S/59,000 in the year 2022.

In January 2021, derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss were settled in the amount of US$18,000,000, the result was a net loss amounting to S/1,569,000 presented in “Accumulated net loss on settlement of derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” caption in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

In February 2023, cross currency swaps from trading have been settled and obtained a gain of S/19,000.

Fair values and fair value accounting hierarchy -

Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as the fair value accounting hierarchy. The dates of valuations at fair value were as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

	Carrying amount				Fair value				Fair value hierarchy
	2023		2022		2023		2022		2023/2022

Total financial liabilities		1,804,537		1,877,725		1,695,512		1,739,827

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

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. The fair value hierarchies are those described in note 2.3.2 (v).

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 December 31, 2023 and 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.

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

The fair value of cross currency swaps was measured by using valuation techniques where inputs are based on market data and 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 consider 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 as they trade on the exchange.

The fair value of the fixed rate promissory note it is calculated using the results of cash flow discounted at the average indebtedness rates effective as of the reporting date.

The fair value of financial instruments at fair value with changes in OCI has been determined through the percentage of the Company’s shareholding in the equity of Fossal S.A.
