Here are the key takeaways from Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A.’s conference call:

• Pacasmayo announced that Holcim agreed to acquire Inversiones ASPI (50.01% controlling stake) at a valuation of PEN 5.1 billion (≈9x LTM EBITDA); the deal is pending INDECOPI approval and management expects closing in the coming months.
• Sales momentum remained strong with volumes up 8.2% in the quarter and 7.2% for full-year 2025, driven by infrastructure demand and resilient self-construction (bagged cement sales notably higher).
• Operating performance improved — quarterly EBITDA excluding transaction expenses was PEN 158.7 million (+11.4% YoY) and full-year EBITDA (ex-one-offs) reached PEN 584.2 million, supported by lower raw-material costs, higher own-clinker use, and operational efficiencies.
• Pacasmayo recognized roughly PEN 77–80 million of acquisition-related transactional expenses (some of which management says will be recovered or assumed by Holcim), which drove the quarter to a reported negative consolidated net income.
• Concrete/pavement/mortar volumes and margins were hit in Q4 (sales down ~25%) due to the pause of the Motupe project and Piura Airport execution, but management expects project restarts, election-driven public spending pickup, and planned energy efficiencies to support margins in 2026; Net Debt/EBITDA stood at 2.8x.
