Announces Consolidated Results for First Quarter 2016 Lima, Peru, April 25, 2016 – Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and subsidiaries (NYSE: CPAC; BVL: CPACASC1) (“the Company” or “Cementos Pacasmayo”) a leading cement company serving the growing Peruvian construction industry, announced today its consolidated results for the first quarter (“1Q16”) ended March 31, 2016. These results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are stated in nominal Peruvian Soles (S/). Financial and Operational Highlights: 1Q16 Highlights (All comparisons are to 1Q15, unless otherwise stated) Volumes of cement, concrete and blocks rose 8.1% Revenues rose 6.5% to S/ 309 million Consolidated EBITDA of S/ 85.6 million, down 4.0% due to higher temporary use of imported clinker because of Piura ramp-up and scheduled maintenance of main kiln in Pacasmayo; Net income of S/ 27.7 million, compared with S/ 52.3 a year earlier, due to lower gross profit, non-cash exchange rate effect, Piura plant depreciation effect and financial expenses previously capitalized as a result of the US$ 300 million debt. It is important to mention that the normalized consolidated EBITDA excluding non recurrent events and the temporary use of imported clinker would have been S/. 104 million and an EBITDA margin of 33.7%. 2 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Financial and Operating Results 1Q16 1Q15 % Var.

Cement volumes rose year-on-year, with nearly 20% of total volume coming from the Piura facility, the most advanced cement plant in Latin America. The ramp-up of the Piura plant is now almost complete, providing us with greater capacity, lower costs and increased flexibility in logistics. Financial results for the quarter were lower year-on-year, mainly driven by costs associated with higher clinker imports to meet growing demand, the non-cash impact of currency movements and extraordinary expenses related to reducing headcount in the permanent search for higher efficiency. All of these are non recurring events. Piura began producing clinker mid-way through 1Q, and is now producing at a rate of 2,800 tons per day, fully eliminating any need to consume imported clinker for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the company incurred some non-recurring costs as we entered the final stages of the Piura ramp up, and carried out maintenance at our kiln #3 at the Pacasmayo plant. Leaving all these non recurring events behind, going forward, we are confident we will maintain a sustainable gross margin in the 40s. The demand environment in the northern region of Peru shows further signs of improvement. Infrastructure spending for January and February, the most recent months available, showed double digit growth from 2015. Our three major projects keep moving along and new projects are now under way such as the city of Olmos and a wide number of Eolic Parks. On a positive note the concerns over el Niño effects have diminished with the ending of the summer which had been historically the riskiest season for this phenomenon. At the national level, the recent presidential election points towards a supportive political environment. Almost 75% of the country has voted in favor of the current economic model: both candidates have business-friendly policy platforms, and recognize the value of infrastructure spending. This raises the possibility of increased federal spending on infrastructure at the conclusion of 2016. The self-construction market is also posting positive growth, with economic growth and political stability supporting spending. In 2016, we remain focused on our key advantages. The Piura plant has given us increased capacity with greater levels of efficiency, while the need to consume imported clinker and expenses associated with the ramp-up are now behind us. Lastly, we are the leader in the northern region of Peru, a market with healthy demand and high barriers to entry. We are confident that the volume growth will continue to be positive during the year. All of these factors position us to deliver growth and margin expansion when compared with 2015 results. 4 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Economic Overview for 1Q16: GDP growth for 1Q16 is estimated at 4%. As we had begun to see by the end of 2015, El Niño proved less intense than expected, with fewer consequences than expected on the economy in the northern region of Peru. As a result, public spending continued increasing. In February, public spending grew 11%, the highest rate in over a year, and specifically the construction of public works increased 16%. For the northern region, during 2016, most of the growth for the construction sector will come from the development of major infrastructure projects including the Talara refinery, Chavimochic and the Longitudinal de la Sierra highway. 15.0 Public Spending (% increase) 10.0 5.0 0.0 -5.0 -10.0 -15.0 Source: Ministry of Economy, Apoyo Consultoría, BCRP Presidential elections took place April 10th 2016, and since no candidate obtained more than 50% of the vote the runoff will be June 5th. The two candidates that will go to the runoff, Keiko Fujimori and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, represent business friendly and open-market policies and could guarantee the continuity of the current economic model, and the ability to undertake reforms to improve the macroeconomic indicators. 5 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Peruvian Cement Industry Overview: Cement demand in Peru is mainly supplied by Cementos Pacasmayo, UNACEM and Cementos Yura. Cementos Pacasmayo primarily supplies the northern region of Peru, while UNACEM supplies 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 23% of the country’s population and 14% of national Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). Despite sustained growth in 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”.

Specifically in the northern region of Peru, where Cementos Pacasmayo is the leading provider of cement, there are three projects in the execution phase. Talara Refinery – Cementos Pacasmayo has been contracted to provide cement, concrete and piles for this project. The Company estimates that as of March 31, 2016, around 48% of the total cement needed has been shipped. Chavimochic Project – Small shipments began in 3Q15. As of March 31, 2016, 24% of the total demand for the project had been shipped. Longitudinal de la Sierra Highway – Cementos Pacasmayo has been contracted to provide cement and concrete for this project. As of March 31, 2016, the Company estimates that around 61% of the total demand for the project has been shipped. 7 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Operating Results: Production: Cement Production Volume (thousands of metric tons) 1Q16 Pacasmayo Plant Production 1Q15 % Var. 365.0 472.5 -22.8% Rioja Plant 77.0 70.9 8.6% Piura plant 120.9 - N/R Total 562.9 543.4 3.6% With the new cement plant in Piura in production, total cement volumes in 1Q16 increased 3.6% compared to 1Q15, mainly due to increased demand. Cement production volume at the Pacasmayo plant in 1Q16 decreased 22.8% compared to 1Q15, mainly due to the beginning of cement production in the Piura plant. Cement production volume at the Rioja Plant increased 8.6% in 1Q16 compared to 1Q15, mainly due to increased demand. Clinker Production Volume (thousands of metric tons) 1Q16 Pacasmayo Plant Production 1Q15 % Var. 153.2 252.5 -39.3% Rioja Plant 60.8 63.5 -4.3% Piura Plant 80.7 - N/R 294.7 316.0 -6.7% Total Clinker production volume at the Pacasmayo plant in 1Q16 decreased 39.3% when compared to 1Q15, mainly due to scheduled maintenance of our main kiln. Clinker production volume at the Rioja plant decreased in 1Q16 compared to 1Q15, mainly due to higher production for inventory purposes during 1Q15. During 1Q16, 96,518 MT of imported clinker were consumed, 25.3% more than the 77,000 MT used in 1Q15. This was due to maintenance of the main kiln in Pacasmayo and the use of imported clinker for cement production at the Piura plant during the ramp-up of the clinker production. The Company ceased importing clinker mid-way through the first quarter, and does not expect to consume it again for the foreseeable future. 8 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Quicklime Production Volume (thousands of metric tons) Production 1Q15 1Q16 Pacasmayo Plant 24.2 26.6 % Var. -9.0% Quicklime production volume decreased 9.0% in 1Q16 compared to 1Q15, in line with a decrease in demand. Installed Capacity: Installed Cement and Clinker Capacity Annual installed cement capacity at the Pacasmayo and Rioja plants was stable at 2.9 million MT and 440,000 MT respectively. As of 4Q15, the annual installed cement capacity at the Piura plant is 1.6 million MT. The annual installed clinker capacity at the Pacasmayo and Rioja plants remained stable at 1.5 million MT and 280,000 MT respectively. As of 1Q16, the annual installed clinker capacity at the Piura plant is 1.0 million MT. 1 Utilization Rate : Pacasmayo Plant Utilization Rate 1Q16 Utilization Rate 1Q15 % Var. Cement 50.3% 65.2% -14.9 pp. Clinker 40.9% 67.3% -26.4 pp. Quicklime 40.3% 44.3% -4.0 pp. The utilization rate of cement production at the Pacasmayo plant decreased 14.9 percentage points in 1Q16 compared to 1Q15, in line with the beginning of production in the Piura plant. The utilization rate of clinker production in 1Q16 was 26.4 percentage points lower than in 1Q15, mainly due to maintenance of our main kiln. Additionally, the utilization rate of quicklime production decreased 4.0 percentage points during 1Q16, compared with 1Q15, in line with decreased demand. 1 The utilization rates are calculated by dividing production in a given period over nominal installed capacity. The utilization rate implies annualized production, which is calculated by multiplying real production for each quarter by 4. 9 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Rioja Plant Utilization Rate Utilization Rate 1Q15 1Q16 % Var. Cement 70.0% 64.5% 5.5 pp. Clinker 86.8% 90.7% -3.9 pp. The utilization rate of cement production at the Rioja plant was 70.0% in 1Q16, 5.5 percentage points more than in 1Q15. The utilization rate of clinker production at the Rioja plant was 86.8% in 1Q16, slightly below 1Q15, mainly due to production for inventory purposes in 1Q15. Piura Plant Utilization Rate 1Q16 Cement Utilization Rate 1Q15 30.2% - % Var. N/R The utilization rate of cement production at the Piura plant was 30.2% in 1Q16, and will increase once the clinker production finishes its ramp up period. New Cement Plant in Piura During 1Q16 the clinker production at the Piura plant began, marking the last stage of the plant’s startup. The ramp up of cement production continued and we expect to be fully self-sufficient in clinker during 2016. The new plant improves the Company’s competitive position in the northern region of Peru. With production from three plants, the Company is able to serve its market more efficiently. This state-of-the-art plant is the most modern in Latin America. It also reduces transportation costs by enabling the dispatching of cement from plants within closer proximity to the point of sale. During 2016, as the clinker production finished its ramp up period, the Company will achieve significant efficiencies at the consolidated level due to the elimination of imported clinker and the use of more advanced production technology. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has invested approximately US$ 363.0 million in the project. It is important to highlight that at this point the project is under budget, with a total estimated investment below the original budget of US$ 386 million. 10 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release 11 First Quarter 2016 Earnings Release Financial Results: Income Statement: The following table shows a summary of the Consolidated Financial Results: Consolidated Financial Results (in millions of Soles S/) 1Q16 Income Statement 1Q15 % Var.

Furthermore, the increase in the exchange rate had an impact in results because some raw materials such as imported clinker and blast furnace slag were consumed at a higher cost. In addition, the new Piura plant capital expenditures were capitalized, resulting therefore in an increase of depreciation and financial expenses related to the US$ 300 million debt. It is also important to mention that, the appreciation of the sol during 1Q16 caused a negative exchange rate effect in our dollar cash position which also affected our profit for the period.

In December 2011, the Company sold a 30% stake of the subsidiary Fosfatos del Pacifico S.A. for US$ 46.1 million to an affiliate of Mitsubishi Corporation, a globally-integrated company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which develops and operates business in multiple sectors. In accordance with the terms of sale, Mitsubishi Corporation signed a long-term contract of purchase and sale (Off Take Agreement), in which it commits to acquire 2 million MT of phosphate per year with the option to buy an additional 0.5 million MT per year. The agreement has a term of 20 years. Fosfatos del Pacifico hired companies to begin a basic engineering study for the project’s various sections. Those selected were: Golder Associates to study the mine, a FL Smidth Minerals-Jacobs-Golder Associates consortium to study the plant, Berenguer Ingenieros to study the port, and Pepsa Tecsult and Aecom to study the electrical transmission and water. During the second half of 2014, value engineering was developed to identify opportunities to improve design, construction, and project operations. Fosfatos del Pacifico hired the main engineering companies (Hatch, Ausenco and WorleyParsons) according to experience and knowledge in various areas. Within the main scope of this value engineering are the change in the methodology of mining, from a conventional mining to a continuous mining system, thereby making the mining process more efficient; the reduction of the footprint of the processing plant without reducing capacity; and size reduction of the port according to the capacity requirements of the project. In March 2014, the environmental impact study for the phosphate project was approved. This is an important milestone in the development of the project and reflects the Company’s commitment to its execution. In April 2015, the onsite Laboratory was certified as Overseas Member of the Association of Fertilizer and Phosphate Chemists and ISO 9001. During 2015 the project incorporated the value engineering findings, from a conceptual level to a basic engineering level, which allowed for a more accurate analysis of the project. In order to integrate the engineering efforts of the different components of the project, through a bidding process, Pacasmayo hired WorleyParsons to act as “Project Management Consultant”, a position it will hold throughout the engineering process, as well as during the procurement, construction, and start of operations. The feasibility study was concluded at the end of 2015 and the Company is currently evaluating next steps. Salmueras Sudamericanas S.A. In 2011, the Company signed an agreement with Quimica del Pacifico (Quimpac), a leading Peruvian chemical company, to establish Salmueras Sudamericanas S.A., in which the Company owns 74.9% of the outstanding shares, with Quimpac holding the remaining 25.1%. The basic engineering study was conducted by the German company, K-Utec AG Salt Technologies, which has over 50 years of experience in the salt business, and is currently being evaluated by both partners in order to determine how to move forward according to their investment priorities.
