4Q22 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
(All comparisons are to 4Q21, unless otherwise stated)
- Revenues increased 1.7%, mainly due to an increase in average prices of bagged cement, as inflationary pressures have affected our costs of raw materials and energy.
- Sales volume of cement, concrete and precast decreased 7.7%, mainly due to a moderation in sales volume from the peak levels reached last year, as well as the slowdown related to some blocked roads during December.
- Consolidated EBITDA of S/121.0 million, a 14.5% decrease, mainly due to non-recurrent expenses. Despite this increase, this quarter’s EBITDA is similar to the one achieved in previous quarters.
- Consolidated EBITDA margin of 22.7%, a 4.3 percentage point decrease.
- Net income of S/ 38.9 million, a 24.6% decrease mainly due to decreased operating profit as mentioned above, as well as a slight increase in income tax expense.

(All comparisons are to 2021, unless otherwise stated)
