INTRODUCTION

Certain Definitions

All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” “the group” and “Graña y Montero” in this annual report are to Graña y Montero S.A.A., a publicly-held corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of Peru. In this annual report, we refer to our principal subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures and associated companies as follows: (i) in our Engineering and Construction (“E&C”) segment: GyM S.A. as “GyM”; Vial y Vives—DSD S.A. as “Vial y Vives—DSD”; GMI S.A. as “GMI”; Morelco S.A.S. as “Morelco”; (ii) in our Infrastructure segment: Norvial S.A. as “Norvial”; Survial S.A. as “Survial”; Concesión Canchaque S.A. as “Canchaque”; GyM Ferrovías S.A. as “GyM Ferrovías”; Concesionaria La Chira S.A. as “La Chira”; GMP S.A. as “GMP”; and Concar S.A. as “Concar”; (iii) in our Real Estate segment: Viva GyM S.A. as “Viva GyM” and Inmobiliaria Almonte S.A.C. as “Almonte”. For more information on our subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures or associated companies, see notes 6a, 6c and 15 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

The gas pipeline concession of Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. (“GSP”) was terminated on January 24, 2017, and, as a result, we have recognized impairments with respect to our investment in and account receivables from GSP and our participation in the related construction consortium (Consorcio Constructor Ductos del Sur, or “CCDS”). Both GSP and CCDS are in the process of being liquidated. Additionally, we have recently sold certain assets and businesses, including: on April 24, 2017, the sale of our interest in Compañía Operadora de Gas del Amazonas (“COGA”); on June 6, 2017, the sale of our interest in GMD S.A. (“GMD”); on April 11, 2018, the sale of our interest in Stracon GyM S.A. (“Stracon GyM”); and, on December 4, 2018, the sale of our interest in CAM Chile S.A. (“CAM”) and CAM Servicios del Perú S.A. (“CAM Servicios”). In addition, we are in the process of marketing for sale our subsidiary Adexus S.A. (“Adexus”), which entered into Chilean bankruptcy proceedings on November 19, 2019. For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020)—Asset Sales.”

The term “U.S. dollar” and the symbol “US$” refer to the legal currency of the United States; the term “sol” and the symbol “S/” refer to the legal currency of Peru; the term “Chilean peso” and the symbol “CLP” refer to the legal currency of Chile; and the term “Colombian peso” and the symbol “COP” refer to the legal currency of Colombia.

Presentation of Financial Information

Our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in soles and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have been audited by Moore Assurance S.A.S. (a member firm of Moore Global Network Limited) in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in this annual report were restated in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. In our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, we inadvertently presented the gain on the sale of GMD under “Gain from the sale of investments” in error and, accordingly, we restated our 2017 income statement and the related notes to reflect GMD as a discontinued operation. The previously issued consolidated financial statements of the company for the 2017 fiscal year (and the related audit opinion) included in the company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017 should not be relied upon. For more information, see note 2.31 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

We manage our business in three segments: Engineering and Construction (E&C); Infrastructure; and Real Estate. Prior to December 31, 2017, in addition to the foregoing segments, we had a Technical Services segment. However, we transferred Concar from this segment to our Infrastructure segment beginning on April 1, 2017; on

Table of Contents

June 6, 2017, we sold our interest in our former technical services subsidiary, GMD; and we are in the process of marketing for sale Adexus, our other technical services subsidiary. The historical segment financial information included in this annual report has been adjusted accordingly. For information on our results of operations by business segment, see note 7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

As a result of the sale of GMD on June 6, 2017, we present GMD as a discontinued operation in our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. We have also reclassified our selected financial information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 included in this annual report to show GMD as a discontinued operation. In addition, (i) on December 4, 2018, we sold our interests in each of CAM and CAM Servicios, (ii) on April 11, 2018, we sold our interest in Stracon GyM, and (iii) we are in the process of marketing for sale our subsidiary Adexus. As a result, we present CAM, CAM Servicios and Stracon GyM as discontinued operations, and Adexus as an investment held for sale, in our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. We have also reclassified our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, and the selected financial information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 included in this annual report to show CAM, CAM Servicios and Stracon GyM as discontinued operations and Adexus as an investment held for sale. We have also revised historical backlog data included in this annual report to exclude the presentation of entities that are presented as discontinued operations.

We requested that the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) grant relief from the financial statement filing requirements of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-09”) pursuant to Section 2430 of the Division of Corporation Finance Financial Reporting Manual, with respect to our investment in GSP. The SEC has not granted our company’s waiver request and, as a result, our company was required to file with the SEC separate financial statements for GSP for 2015, 2016 and 2017, with 2016 being audited. However, it has been impracticable for our company to comply with this requirement, because the audit opinion that was issued with respect to GSP’s 2016 financial statements included a disclaimer; our company’s loss of significant influence over GSP; and GSP’s limited management as the entity is in insolvency proceedings. We believe that GSP’s financial statements would not provide additional material information to investors. However, we cannot assure you that that the SEC will not take actions against our company relating to our non-compliance, and, among other matters, in the event of a capital raise, our company may be temporarily unable to have a registration statement for a public offering of securities in the United States declared effective by the SEC. For more information, see “Item 3.D. Key Information —Risk Factors—Risks Related to Recent Developments (2017 - 2020)—Our inability to provide audited financial statements for GSP in accordance with Rule 3-09 may result in enforcement actions by the SEC or may, among other matters, cause us to be unable to complete a public offering in the United States.” For more information on GSP, see notes 5(e) and 15 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Non-IFRS Data

In this annual report, we present EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. We present EBITDA because we believe it provides readers with a supplemental measure of the financial performance of our core operations that facilitates period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Our management uses EBITDA, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes. We believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to other companies operating in our sectors because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net profit or operating profit, as an indicator of operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities or as a measure of liquidity (in each case, as determined in accordance with IFRS). EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For our definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, see “Item 3.A. Key Information—Selected Financial Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation.”

Currency Translations

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in soles. For a description of our translation of amounts in currencies other than soles in our consolidated financial statements, see note 2.4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

We have translated some of the soles amounts contained in this annual report into U.S. dollars and some U.S. dollars amounts contained in this annual report into soles, for convenience purposes only. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the rate used to translate soles amounts to U.S. dollars and U.S. dollars amounts into soles was S/3.317 to US$1.00, which was the exchange rate reported for December 31, 2019 by the Peruvian Superintendency of Banks, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFPs, or “SBS”). We present our backlog in U.S. dollars. For contracts denominated in soles or other local currencies, amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate published by the SBS on December 31 of the corresponding year. When we present our ratios of backlog and revenues in this annual report, we similarly convert our revenues, which are reported in soles, into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate reported for December 31 of the corresponding year. For conversions of macroeconomic indicators (particularly in “Item 5.D. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Trend Information” in this annual report), average annual exchange rates for the currencies of each of the countries addressed are used. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for soles. The U.S. dollar equivalent information presented in this annual report is provided solely for convenience of the reader and should not be construed as implying that the soles or other currency amounts represent, or could have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at such rates or at any other rate.

Rounding

Certain figures included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures that precede them.

Backlog

This annual report includes our backlog for our Engineering and Construction (E&C), Infrastructure and Real Estate segments. We do not include backlog in this annual report in our Infrastructure segment for: (i) our Norvial toll road concession because its revenues from the concession are derived from toll fees charged to vehicles using the highway, and, as a result, such revenues are dependent on vehicular traffic levels; and (ii) our Energy line of business because: (a) our revenues from hydrocarbon extraction services are dependent on the amounts of oil and gas we produce and market prices, which fluctuate significantly; (b) our revenues from our gas processing plant are dependent on the amount of gas we process and market prices for natural gas liquids, which fluctuate significantly; and (c) our revenues from our fuel storage terminal operation partially depend on the volume of fuel stored and dispatched. When we present backlog on a segment basis, we do not include eliminations that are included in our consolidated backlog. Backlog is not a measure defined by IFRS, and our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog. Backlog is not audited. We have revised historical backlog data included in this annual report to exclude the presentation of entities that are presented as discontinued operations. For our definition of backlog, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Backlog.” See also “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Company—Our backlog and our ratio of historical backlog to revenues may not be reliable indicators of future revenues or profit.”

The GSP gas pipeline concession was terminated on January 24, 2017, which had a significant impact on our backlog for our E&C and our consolidated backlog. For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020)—Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession.”

Reserves Estimates

This annual report includes our estimates for proved reserves in Blocks I and V, where GMP provides hydrocarbon extraction services to, and Blocks III and IV, where GMP extracts hydrocarbon under license agreements with, Perupetro S.A. (“Perupetro”). These reserves estimates were prepared internally by our team of engineers and

Table of Contents

have not been audited or reviewed by any independent external engineers. For further information on these reserves estimates, see “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risks Related to Our Company—Additional Risks Related to our Infrastructure Business” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Infrastructure—Principal Infrastructure Lines of Business—Energy—Oil and Gas Production.”

Market Information

We make estimates in this annual report regarding our competitive position and market share, as well as the market size and expected growth of the engineering and construction, infrastructure and real estate services industries in Peru and elsewhere in Latin America. We have made these estimates on the basis of our management’s knowledge and statistics and other information, which we believe to be the most recently available as of the date of this annual report, from government agencies, industry professional organizations, industry publications and other sources. While we believe these estimates to be accurate as of the date of this annual report, we have not independently verified the data from third-party sources and our internal data has not been verified by any independent source. We paid Great Place to Work ® Institute, a human resources consulting, research and training firm, for our employees to participate in their market survey referenced in this annual report (Copyright © 2019 Great Place to Work ® Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.). In this annual report we present gross domestic product (“GDP”) both on a nominal and real basis. Real GDP is nominal GDP adjusted to exclude the effect of inflation. Unless otherwise indicated, references to GDP are to real GDP.

Measurements and Other Data

In this annual report, we use the following measurements:

 

   

“m” means one meter, which equals approximately 3.28084 feet;

 

   

“m2” means one square meter, which equals approximately 10.7630 square feet;

 

   

“km” means one kilometer, which equals approximately 0.621371 miles;

 

   

“hectare” means one hectare, which equals approximately 2.47105 acres;

 

   

“tonne” means one metric ton, which equals approximately 2,204.6 pounds;

 

   

“bbl” or barrel of oil means one stock tank barrel, which is equivalent to approximately 0.15898 cubic meters;

 

   

“boe” means one barrel of oil equivalent, which equals approximately 160.2167 cubic meters, determined using the ratio of 5,658 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil;

 

   

“cf” means one cubic foot;

 

   

“M,” when used before bbl, boe or cf, means one thousand bbl, boe and cf, respectively;

 

   

“MM,” when used before bbl, boe or cf, means one million bbl, boe and cf, respectively;

 

   

“MW” means one megawatt, which equals one million watts; and

 

   

“Gwh” means one gigawatt hour, which equals one billion watt hours.

In this annual report, we use the term “accident incidence rate” with respect to our E&C segment, which is calculated as the number of injuries divided by the total number of hours worked by all full-time employees of our E&C segment during the relevant year divided by 200,000 (which reflects 40 hours worked per week in a 50-week year by 100 equivalent full-time workers).

uncertainty with regards to the timing and amount of any payment we are entitled to receive as an equity investor and creditor of GSP in connection with the government payment required as a result of the termination of the GSP pipeline concession;

 

   

our ability to fund our working capital and other obligations through cash flow from operating activities, financing sources or the sale of assets;

 

   

our ability to comply with the covenants in our debt instruments or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance;

 

   

our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, including our ability to obtain performance bonds and similar financings required in the ordinary course of our business;

 

   

our ability to consummate asset sales or other strategic transactions on favorable terms on a timely basis, or at all;

 

   

global macroeconomic conditions, including commodity prices;

 

   

economic, political and social conditions in the markets in which we operate, including as a result of political disputes between the executive branch and congress in Peru, and widespread protests in Chile and, to a lesser extent, Colombia;

The net profit attributable to controlling interests of our Real Estate segment is significantly affected by the financing and commercial arrangements we use to purchase land and to develop real estate projects. Depending on the level of non-controlling interests used to finance our real estate projects, our Real Estate segment tends to have significant net profit attributable to non-controlling interests. See “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Results of Operations—General—Real Estate.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation

In this annual report, we present EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. We define EBITDA as net profit plus: financial (expense) income, net; income tax; and depreciation and amortization.

We present EBITDA because we believe it provides readers with a supplemental measure of the financial performance of our core operations that facilitates period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Our management uses EBITDA, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes. We believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies operating in our sectors because EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net profit or operating profit, as an indicator of operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities or as a measure of liquidity (in each case, as determined in accordance with IFRS). EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of our net profit to EBITDA on a consolidated basis.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of our net profit to EBITDA for each of our business segments and certain of our lines of business or subsidiaries within these segments. The effects of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession on our results of operations and financial condition for 2016 are reflected in Corporate (the Parent Company Operations) and, with respect to the related construction consortium (CCDS), in our E&C segment. Beginning on April 1, 2017, we transferred Concar from our Technical Services segment to our former Infrastructure segment. This change does not impact our consolidated financial results.

Risk Factors

Risks Related to Recent Developments (2017—2020)

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus are disrupting economic activity in the countries where we operate and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The recent outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “public health emergency of international concern,” has spread across the world since the end of 2019. The virus has spread significantly in Latin America to date, and we cannot assure you that the virus will not spread more widely in the region. In such event, the countries where we operate are likely to have less resources to address the health care effects of the pandemic. In response, countries around the world—including Peru as well as Chile and Colombia—have adopted extraordinary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, including imposing travel restrictions, requiring closures of non-essential businesses, establishing restrictions on public gatherings, instructing residents to practice social distancing, issuing stay-at-home orders, implementing quarantines and similar actions. Depending on how the spread of the virus continues to evolve, governments may extend these measures for longer periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic and these government measures have significantly increased economic uncertainty and are likely to cause a global recession. Moreover, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity has been sudden and severe, and we cannot predict the extent to which economies in the countries where we operate will ultimately be impacted. Even if the initial outbreaks of COVID-19 subside, we cannot predict whether subsequent outbreaks will reoccur, or whether governments will implement longer-term measures that continue to affect economic activity and capital investment levels. As a result, the negative impact of COVID-19 may continue well beyond the containment of the virus. In response to the sudden decline in economic activity, governments around the world, including in Latin America, have announced large stimulus programs to assist families and businesses. However, we cannot assure you that these programs will be sufficient to reactivate economy activity; moreover, the governments in the countries where we operate are likely to have less resources to stimulate their local economies.

The COVID-19 pandemic is significantly and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. From mid-March through the end of May 2020, substantially all of our engineering and construction and real estate projects were mandatorily shut down. Although certain projects are gradually resuming, we cannot assure you when we will be able to resume work on our projects in full. Our infrastructure operations, which have for the most part been declared essential businesses, have continued; however, certain of our infrastructure businesses have been adversely affected, in particular, by the sharp decline in traffic volumes and oil and gas prices (also due to the

dispute in March among OPEC member countries). Our results and operations of the first quarter of 2020 were adversely impacted by the pandemic. We expect that our results of operations for the second quarter of 2020 will be significatively more impacted, as adverse conditions have persisted for a longer period during the second quarter. We are evaluating measures to reduce our expenses and preserve liquidity. However, depending on how long current conditions persist and unless we are able to benefit from government stimulus programs, the pandemic is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Our reputation has been adversely affected by our association with Odebrecht’s affiliates in Peru

We participated in six construction and operation of infrastructure projects in Peru with affiliates of Odebrecht during the period from 2005 to 2017. Our reputation has been adversely affected as a result of the plea agreements and criminal convictions of Odebrecht and certain key persons related to Odebrecht in connection with corruption, money laundering and criminal organization. Peruvian authorities have initiated criminal investigations into the dealings of Odebrecht’s affiliates in Peru, the scope of which include certain consortia in which we participated. Moreover, as a result, our company and certain of our former directors and senior management are the subject of criminal investigations relating to corruption allegations. These investigations are ongoing.

In January 2019, Odebrecht executed a settlement and cooperation agreement with the Peruvian government regarding several infrastructure projects in the country, including certain projects in which we participated. Under the agreement, Odebrecht has agreed to pay compensation to the Peruvian government over the course of several years and to cooperate with, and provide evidence to, prosecutors in connection with ongoing investigations by the Peruvian government. Former senior officers of Odebrecht’s affiliate in Peru have indicated to Peruvian prosecutors that certain of our former directors and senior management were aware that Odebrecht had made corrupt payments to government officials in connection with certain projects in which we participated.

In December 2019, we entered into a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with the Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel in respect of investigations relating to past projects in which the company participated with Odebrecht and investigations relating to an alleged participation in the “construction club”. The terms of the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement are confidential in accordance with Peruvian law and under discussion with Peruvian authorities.

Our reputation is a key factor in our clients’ evaluation of whether to engage our services, key industry players’ willingness to partner with us, financial institutions’ willingness to provide us credit, and recruiting and retaining talented personnel to our company. The impact on our business reputation related to our association with Odebrecht and the alleged actions of our former board members and senior management has had, and is likely to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The outcome of the ongoing investigations and settlement discussions, any new charges or news reports containing new allegations against the company, or other similar developments, could further damage the reputation of the company.

Investigations regarding potential corruption or other illegal acts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations

Our company and certain of our subsidiaries, and certain of our former directors and senior management, have been charged in connection with criminal and civil investigations relating to certain of our projects in connection with our association with Odebrecht and in connection with our alleged participation in what is referred to as the “construction club.”

In connection with investigations relating to the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II), the Peruvian criminal prosecutor moved to charge our company and our construction subsidiary, GyM, as criminal defendants in connection with the project. In response, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court (Primer Juzgado de Investigación Preparatoria Nacional) notified us of its decision to formally include our company and GyM in its criminal investigation. We appealed the court’s decision and, in June 2018, the First Court of Appeals of the Superior Court of Lima revoked the judicial order that indicted our company and GyM, among other corporate defendants, in the criminal investigation on charges of collusion and other crimes and rejected the petition, without prejudice, made by the prosecutor to incorporate both companies in the aforementioned process. Nevertheless, in February of 2020, we were notified that the criminal prosecutor had filed a new motion to bring criminal charges against our company and GyM in connection with the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II). We cannot predict the outcome of this motion.

Separately, in connection with these investigations, in December 2018, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court resolved to include our company and GyM as civilly-responsible third parties in the investigations related to the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II) and GyM as a civilly-responsible third party in the investigations related to Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro. These proceedings are ongoing.

Peruvian prosecutors have included José Graña Miró Quesada, a shareholder and the former Chairman of our company, in an investigation for the crime of collusion, and Hernando Graña Acuña, a shareholder, a former board member of our company and former chairman of our subsidiary GyM, for the crime of money laundering against the Peruvian government, each in connection with the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II), in which we participated with Odebrecht. Gonzalo Ferraro Rey, the former Chief Infrastructure Officer of our company, has also been included in an investigation for the crime of money laundering in connection with the same project. In addition, José Graña Hernando Graña, as well as Juan Manuel Lambarri, the former chief executive officer of our subsidiary GyM, have been charged in connection with Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project. In August 2019, José Graña indicated in public statements to the media that he and Hernando Graña had initiated a process of plea bargaining with Peruvian prosecutors in respect of multiple projects in which our company participated with Odebrecht and in respect of the alleged “construction club.” According to José Graña’s public statements, in the plea bargaining process, both he and Hernando Graña are cooperating with the Peruvian prosecutor, which may include providing information related to wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behavior while they were at the company. However, given the confidential nature of these proceedings, the reported information is limited and difficult to verify. We cannot assure you what they will ultimately say to the government, or that their statements will not adversely affect the company’s business.

A conviction of corruption or settlements with government authorities could lead to criminal and civil fines as well as penalties, sanctions, injunctions against future conduct, profit disgorgement, disqualifications from directly and indirectly engaging in certain types of business, the loss of business licenses or permits, debarment from contracting or from participating in bidding processes with the Peruvian government, or other restrictions. Moreover, our alleged involvement in corruption investigations, and any findings or admissions of wrongdoing in such investigations, could further damage our reputation and have a material adverse impact on our ability to compete for business. In addition, such investigations may affect the company’s ability to secure financing in the future. Furthermore, investigations could continue to divert management’s attention and resources from other issues facing our business.

In May 2018, Peruvian Supreme Decree No. 096-2018-EF set forth guidelines to determine the value of assets to be put in trust to guarantee eventual compensation to the Peruvian government that is required for companies that have been partners of companies that have been, or whose officers or representatives have been, convicted of, or have admitted to, corruption, money-laundering or similar crimes, which includes our company and our subsidiary GyM. Following discussions with the Peruvian government, in February 2019, we established a trust in favor of the Peruvian government in respect of any liabilities arising from Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project and Tranche II of the IIRSA project, to which we assigned shares of our subsidiary GMI, which is estimated to be worth approximately US$23.4 million (S/79.1 million). We cannot assure you that the Peruvian government will not claim the assets set forth in this trust or require that our company place additional assets in trust, nor can we assure you that these assets will fully satisfy any eventual obligations we may have to the Peruvian government.

Management has estimated the value of the company’s contingencies to be approximately US$84.4 million (S/279.8 million), and taking into account the net present value, established a provision in the company’s financial statements in the amount of US$46.6 million (S/153.9 million). This includes amounts in respect of probable liabilities arising from the investigations of Tranche II of the IIRSA project, Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project, the GSP project and the “construction club” investigation (described below). We cannot provide assurance that our liability will not exceed the amount estimated by management and provisioned for in the financial statements of the company. Furthermore, if the company is further charged in connection with wrongdoing in respect of other projects, this contingent amount could increase significantly.

We cannot assure you that the scope of the foregoing proceedings will not be expanded to incorporate other projects in which we have been involved, that our company will not be included in other investigations or proceedings as a criminal defendant or civilly-responsible third party in Peru or elsewhere, or that other of our former or current directors and senior management will not be included in the foregoing proceedings. We continue to evaluate alternatives to resolving ongoing investigations against our company and our subsidiary GyM, including the negotiation of a settlement and cooperation agreement with Peruvian authorities. However, we cannot assure you that these investigations will be resolved in a manner that is favorable to our company.

INDECOPI and Peruvian prosecutors have initiated investigations alleging that certain construction companies in Peru, including our company, colluded to receive public contracts

The Peruvian National Institute for the Defense of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (“INDECOPI”) initiated in 2017 investigations regarding allegations that certain construction companies in Peru, including our subsidiary GyM, colluded as a “construction club” to receive public contracts. In February 2020, INDECOPI initiated an administrative proceeding against several construction companies, including our subsidiary GyM, aiming to impose civil fines on the investigated companies.

Separately, in December 2018, GyM was formally included as a civilly-responsible third party, along with eleven other construction companies, in the criminal investigation conducted by a Peruvian public prosecutor based on facts similar to those under investigation by INDECOPI. In December 2019, the prosecutor criminally charged GyM and another of our subsidiaries, CONCAR, and other companies in the construction sector in Peru, as well as a former director and senior management of our company, with collusion and other alleged crimes. As described above, the company’s management has made estimates, and established provisions, in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the investigations in respect of the company and its subsidiaries, including in respect of the company’s alleged participation in what is referred to as the “construction club”. We cannot provide assurance that our liability will not exceed the amount estimated by management and provisioned for in the financial statements of GyM and CONCAR. Furthermore, if GyM, CONCAR or any other subsidiary of the company is further charged in connection with wrongdoing in respect of other projects, this contingent amount could increase significantly.

We cannot assure you that any of our company’s other current or former directors or senior management will not be included in these investigations or proceedings in the future, nor can we predict the outcome of any such investigations or proceedings, the timing thereof or how they may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also cannot predict whether prosecutors or INDECOPI will bring additional investigations or proceedings in the future. We continue to evaluate alternatives to resolving ongoing investigations against our subsidiaries GyM and CONCAR, including the negotiation of a settlement and cooperation agreement with Peruvian authorities. However, we cannot assure you that these investigations will be resolved in a manner that is favorable to our company.

A conviction of corruption or settlements with government authorities could lead to criminal and civil fines as well as penalties, sanctions, injunctions against future conduct, profit disgorgement, disqualifications from directly and indirectly engaging in certain types of business, the loss of business licenses or permits, debarment from contracting or from participating in bidding processes with the Peruvian government, or other restrictions.

We are currently negotiating a settlement and cooperation agreement with Peruvian authorities in connection with the criminal investigations against our company

In December 2019, we entered into a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with the Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel in respect of investigations relating to past projects in which the company participated with Odebrecht and investigations relating to an alleged participation in the “construction club”. The terms of the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement are confidential in accordance with Peruvian law and under discussion with Peruvian authorities.

Although in the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement, the Peruvian government undertook to enter into a final settlement and cooperation agreement within sixty business days, we have not reached a final agreement, and the parties continue to discuss the terms of the settlement. Although we expect to reach a final

agreement with the government, we cannot guarantee that the government will execute the agreement within a reasonable time frame or at all, nor can we guarantee that any final settlement and cooperation agreement will be executed on terms favorable to the company. In particular, we cannot provide assurances that the government will not require compensation in an amount materially greater than the amount we have estimated and provisioned; that our company will be able to pay any compensation required pursuant to the terms of any final settlement and cooperation agreement; or a final settlement and cooperation agreement will not contain measures that restrict the company’s business in the future, including limitations on the company’s ability enter into contracts with the Peruvian government. We also cannot guarantee what impact any settlement and cooperation agreement, which may require admission of wrongdoing, will have on our reputation.

A class action civil lawsuit in the United States may adversely affect our company

A class action civil lawsuit was filed in 2017 against our company and certain of our former directors and former and current executive officers in the United States. In February 2020, we executed a term sheet with the plaintiffs that provides the general terms and conditions for a final settlement agreement. The term sheet stipulates a settlement amount of US$20 million plus interest after a certain time period. The company recorded provisions of US$15 million as of December 31, 2019, and the remaining US$5 million is expected to be covered by the company’s D&O insurance. It is not certain whether the negotiation of a final settlement agreement will be successful, and if so, whether any such agreement will be approved by the court. In such case, we would expect the lawsuit to resume.

If the lawsuit continues to be litigated, we cannot assure you that our position will prevail. If our position does not prevail, the lawsuit may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is substantial uncertainty with regard to the amount, timing and manner in which the payment for the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession will be paid

There is substantial uncertainty with regards to the payment contemplated under the GSP gas pipeline concession contract as a result of the termination of the gas pipeline concession, including with respect to the amount, timing and manner in which the payment will be made, or if it will be made at all.

Although the concession contract provides that payment must be made within one year of termination, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines has not made payment or, to our knowledge, initiated the payment process or the auction process for a new concessionaire. As a result, after the six-month period mandated by the concession contract for the parties to discuss the matter, in October 2019, we asserted our rights against the Peruvian government by filing a request for arbitration before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. However, in December 2019 we withdrew our request for arbitration, as required by Peruvian authorities under the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement we entered into with Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel.

As of the date of this annual report, we are analyzing available contractual and legal options to recover as a creditor of GSP. However, we cannot guarantee that any of these options will be successful, or that we will be able to recover all or any of the amounts owed to the company as a result of the termination of the GSP gas pipline concession on a timely basis, or at all. Failure to receive the expected payment on a timely basis, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have made certain estimates in our consolidated financial statements with respect to the expected payment for the termination of the GSP contract. As of December 31, 2019, we fully impaired the remaining amount of our investment in GSP. However, we maintain S/544 million (US$164 million) in long-term account receivables as a creditor of GSP.

Our inability to provide audited financial statements for GSP in accordance with Rule 3-09 may result in enforcement actions by the SEC or may, among other matters, cause us to be unable to complete a public offering in the United States

We have been unable to provide certain financial statements of GSP that are required by Rule 3-09 to be included in our company’s annual report. Under Rule 3-09, we are required to present or generate financial statements of GSP as of December 31, 2015 and for the period from November 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, with the financial statements of GSP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. It is currently impracticable for our company to comply with this requirement, because the audit opinion that was issued with respect to GSP’s 2016 financial statements included a disclaimer, our company’s loss of significant influence over GSP, and GSP’s limited management as the entity is in insolvency proceedings.

We believe that the information presented by separate financial statements of GSP would not provide to our company’s investors additional material information not already included in our company’s own consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. As a result, we do not believe that the omission of those financial statements will have a material impact on a reader’s understanding of our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, we requested a waiver from the SEC from the requirement to file the consolidated financial statements of GSP described above, and the SEC has not granted our waiver request.

As a result, we are currently not fully compliant with our reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The SEC may impose penalties or otherwise take action against our company. In addition, the SEC may not declare effective any registration statement that we file that requires the financial statements under Rule 3-09 to be included. If, as a result, we are unable to complete a registered offering, our ability to access the public capital markets in the United States would be impaired. Furthermore, the Rule 144 safe harbor for certain sales of our ADSs in the United States is currently unavailable.

We were in default under certain of our debt instruments during 2017, 2018 and 2019, and we cannot assure you that we will not be in default under our debt instruments in the future, or that we will be able to obtain additional waiver in the event of any future defaults

In 2019, our subsidiary Adexus entered into Chilean bankruptcy proceedings to restructure its outstanding indebtedness and, as a result, we were in default under our loan agreement with CS Peru Infrastructure Holdings LLC. We received a waiver for the default on February 28, 2020. As a result, this indebtedness of US$35 million was recorded as a current liability as of December 31, 2019, of which US$10 million was repaid at the time of the waiver. Also during 2019, our construction subsidiary GyM was under a continuing default under the Financial Stability Framework Agreement with respect to its failure to comply with certain ratios between Tranche A (client invoices) and Tranche B (client provisions). No event of default was formally notified to GyM by the lenders, and GyM procured a waiver from the lenders in July 2019. In addition, during the years 2017 and 2018 we were in default under certain of our debt instruments, including due to: delays in delivering audited financial statements; defaults with respect to certain financial ratio and other covenants; and delays in paying certain amounts outstanding. We procured waivers from our creditors under such instruments.

We cannot assure you that we will not breach the covenants under these or other of our debt instruments in the future and, in such event, that we would be able to obtain the required waivers from our creditors. Failure to successfully obtain waivers could force us to precipitate the sale of assets, including on unfavorable terms, to repay these debt instruments. Moreover, if we are not able to renegotiate the terms of any debt instruments in which we are in default, or repay them promptly, our ability to obtain financings, including performance guarantees or similar financings required under many of our business contracts, would be impaired, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to access financing that we need to operate our business on favorable terms or at all

Due to uncertainty relating to the investigations of our company, our creditors and other banks operating in the Peruvian market have placed restrictions on our ability, and the ability of other construction companies, to acquire future credit lines or other financings. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new financings in the future on favorable terms or at all. We may encounter difficulties in obtaining performance bonds or credit support that we require to secure, among other things, bids, advance payments and performance for our projects.

Table of Contents

Our ability to obtain financings will also depend in part upon prevailing conditions in credit and capital markets, which are beyond our control. Emerging markets have been affected by changes in the U.S. monetary policy, resulting at times in a withdrawal of investments and increased volatility in the value of their currencies. If interest rates rise significantly in the United States, emerging market economies, including Peru, could find it more difficult and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt. Higher interest rates globally or in Peru would in turn impact our costs of funding.

Currently, volatility and instability due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus also has, and may continue to, negatively affect the general willingness of lenders to extend credit. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has also put further pressure on our liquidity needs, including for short-term working capital; from mid- March through the end of May, substantially all of our engineering and construction and real estate projects have been mandatorily shut down, and, although work on many of our projects will begin to resume generally, we cannot assure you when we will be able to resume work on our projects in full.

An inability to procure adequate financing or credit on favorable terms or all could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We may not be able to sell assets on favorable terms or at all

As part of our strategic action plan in response to the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our board of directors approved the sale of certain non-strategic assets, in order to raise funds to make payments in respect of debt related to the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession. In 2017 and 2018 we undertook multiple divestitures. In addition, we continue marketing for sale our subsidiary Adexus. Moreover we are also evaluating the sale of additional assets, including part of our land bank, which we do not consider to be strategic to our business, to meet our liquidity needs. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to sell assets on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to sell assets on a timely basis, our ability to address our liquidity needs may be adversely affected. Conversely, if we sell significant assets, our business and results of operations will be diminished.

We may be subject to takeover transactions, and we cannot assure you that any such transaction, if it were to occur, would be favorable to our shareholders.

We may be increasingly subject to takeover actions, including as a result of uncertainties relating to the ongoing investigations and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2019, IG4 Investimentos Ltda, a Brazilian hedge fund, announced its intention to acquire a significant stake in our company, indicating that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with certain former directors and other shareholders and that it was interested in undertaking a partial public tender offer. Since that announcement, we have received due diligence inquiries from IG4 Investimentos Ltda, which we have responded on the basis of public information. We cannot assure you that IG4 Investimentos Ltda, or any other offeror, will launch (and if launched, consummate) a public tender offer or other acquisition of company securities. If IG4 Investimentos Ltda, or any other offeror, does launch a tender offer or other acquisition transaction, we cannot assure you that the consideration, or other terms and conditions offered to our shareholders pursuant to any tender offer or other acquisition transaction will be favorable to our shareholders. If IG4 Investimentos Ltda, or any other offeror, acquires a significant stake in, or control of, the company, we cannot assure you that the interests of such new controlling or significant shareholders will be aligned with those of the company’s other shareholders.

Risks Related to Our Company

Global economic conditions could adversely affect our financial performance

Global economic conditions, in particular fluctuations in commodity prices and financings costs, may impact our clients’ investment decisions. Should our clients choose to postpone or suspend new investments or delay or cancel the execution of existing projects as a result of global economic conditions, demand for our products and services

would decline, which may result in a decline in revenues and in under-utilization of our capacity. Since mid-March of 2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economic activity and is likely to cause a global recession. In addition, our business may be impacted by adverse economic developments even after economic conditions have improved because of the lag time between when investments decisions are made and when the projects are executed. Furthermore, financial difficulties suffered by our clients, joint operation partners, subcontractors or suppliers due to global economic conditions could result in payment delays or defaults, or increase our costs or adversely impact our project execution. Accordingly, a global economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

We face significant competition in each of our markets

Each of the markets in which we operate is competitive. We compete on the basis of, among other factors, price, performance, product and service quality, skill and execution capability, client relations, reputation and brand, and health, safety and environmental record. We face significant competition from both local and international players. Some of these competitors may have greater resources than us or specialized expertise in certain sectors. In addition, a portion of our business is derived from open bidding processes which can be highly competitive. Certain of our markets are highly fragmented with a large number of companies competing for market share. Our competitors may be more inclined to take greater or unusual risks or accept terms and conditions in a contract that we might not deem acceptable. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will not face new competition from industry players entering or expanding their operations in our markets. If we are unable to compete effectively, our ability to continue to grow our business or maintain our market share would be affected. In addition, because one of the factors on which we generally compete is price, increased competition could impact our operating margins. Accordingly, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by competition in our markets.

A major change in government policies could affect our business

Our business is significantly affected by national, regional and municipal government policies and regulations in the countries where we operate, including with respect to infrastructure concessions or similar contracts to the private sector, public spending in infrastructure investment and government housing subsidies, among others. Any adverse change in government policies with respect to these matters could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. Recently, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Peruvian government has recently temporarily shut down substantially all construction activity. Additionally, the Peruvian Congress has suspended the payment of tolls on roads during the period of quarantine.

Social conflicts may disrupt infrastructure projects

Despite Peru’s ongoing economic growth and stabilization, high levels of poverty and unemployment and social and political tensions continue to be pervasive problems in the country. Peru has, from time to time, experienced social and political turmoil, including riots, nationwide protests, strikes and street demonstrations. In recent years, certain regions experienced strikes and protests related mainly to the environmental impact of mining activities, which resulted in commercial disruptions. These protests may lead to the suspension of mining projects. Social conflicts may disrupt, delay or suspend infrastructure projects in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

In addition, beginning in October 2019, Chile has suffered from widespread social unrest and vandalism that has had a significant economic and political impact on the country. As a result, the Chilean congress convened a plebiscite initially to be held in March 2020 to determine whether constitutional amendments should be implemented. The vote has been postponed to October 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This process may result in further social unrest and protest and could also result in substantial structural changes in Chile that could adversely impact the private sector, including our operations in the country.

Additionally, beginning in November 2019, Colombia has experienced civic unrest in the form of a national strike and anti-government protests. As such, our Colombian operations could be adversely impacted by changing economic, political and social conditions in Colombia and by the Colombian government’s response to such conditions.

New projects may require the prior approval of local indigenous communities

Peruvian Law No. 29,785, regarding the Prior Consultation Right of Local Indigenous Communities, which was enacted in accordance with the International Labor Organization Convention No. 169 (Ley del Derecho a la Consulta Previa a los Pueblos Indígenas y Originarios, Reconocido en el Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo), establishes a prior non-binding consultation procedure (procedimiento de consulta previa). Under this law the Peruvian government must carry out consultation procedures with local indigenous communities, whose rights may be directly affected by new legislative or administrative measures, including the granting of certain permits or new concessions or similar contracts, such as for mining, energy and oil and gas projects. Local indigenous communities do not have a veto right; and therefore, upon completion of this prior consultation procedure, the Peruvian government retains the discretion to approve or reject the applicable legislative or administrative measure. However, we cannot assure you that these consultation procedures will not negatively influence a decision by Peruvian government to grant us a permit, concession or consent and, therefore, adversely affect new projects and concessions. Accordingly, our business and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.

Our backlog and our ratio of historical backlog to revenues may not be reliable indicators of future revenues or profit

The amount of our backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenues or profits related to the performance of the related contracts. Our backlog amount is subject to revision over time and our ability to realize revenues from our backlog is subject to a number of uncertainties. Cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog and could reduce the amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn. For example, the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession on January 24, 2017 reduced our backlog as of December 31, 2016 by US$855 million, 30.2% of our E&C backlog and 21.4% of our total backlog as of that date. Contracts may also remain in our backlog for an extended period of time and poor performance could also impact our profit from the contracts in our backlog. In addition, our backlog is expressed in U.S. dollars based on period-end exchange rates while a significant portion of our contracts are payable in soles or other local currencies. As a result, any depreciation of local currency would diminish the amount of revenues eventually earned relative to backlog.

Our backlog may decline in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient contracts in the future in number and magnitude to increase our backlog. Additionally, the amount of new contracts that we obtain can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to factors that are beyond our control.

Moreover, the ratio of our historical backlog to revenues earned in subsequent years is volatile and substantially affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside our control, including levels of contract scope adjustments and our ability to enter into new contracts (which are substantially influenced by general macroeconomic conditions), delays and cancellations, foreign exchange rate movements and our ability to increase the scale of our operations to expand the amount of work we carry out beyond that previously contracted. Accordingly, historical correlations between backlog and revenues may not recur in future periods.

Our success depends on key personnel

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the services of our senior management, board of directors and other key personnel. Members of our management team are not subject to non-competition agreements with us. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining our current senior management or members of our board of directors, nor can we assure you that, in such event, we would be able to find suitable replacements. In addition, the success of our business depends on our ongoing ability to attract, train and retain qualified engineers and other personnel. In recent years, the availability in Peru of qualified personnel who have the necessary expertise and experience has been lower than demand and, therefore, competition for human resources has become intense. We cannot assure that we will be able to hire and retain the number of qualified personnel required to meet the needs of, or to grow, our business. If we are unable to attract, train and retain the qualified personnel that we require at reasonable cost, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.

Our success depends, to a large extent, on our reputation for the quality, reliability, timely delivery and safety of our products and services

We believe our track record and reputation are key factors in our clients’ evaluation of whether to engage our services and purchase our products, encouraging key industry players to partner with us, and recruiting and retaining talented personnel to our company. Our reputation is based, to a large extent, on the quality, reliability, timeliness and safety of our products and services. If our products do not meet expected standards or we fail to meet our deadlines, our relationship with our clients and partners could suffer, the reputation of our company could be adversely affected, we may not be invited to new bidding processes and our ability to capture new business could be severely diminished.

The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes

We may be subject to a variety of legal or administrative proceedings, liability claims or contract disputes. The government, clients and other third parties may present claims against us for injury or damage caused, directly or indirectly, by our operations, for example for alleged failures in our engineering and construction, the operation of our infrastructure concessions (such as our toll roads or the Lima Metro), and real estate developments we sell. Although we have a range of insurance coverage policies and have adopted risk management and risk avoidance programs designed to reduce potential liabilities, a catastrophic event resulting from the services we have performed or products we have provided could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty or other claims against us as well as reputational harm, especially if public safety is impacted. We may in the future be named as a defendant in legal proceedings where our clients or third parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other matters. Any liability not covered by our insurance, or in excess of our insurance limits, could result in a significant loss for us, which may affect our financial performance.

We are susceptible to operational risks that could affect our business and financial performance

Our business is subject to numerous industry-specific operational risks, including natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, operator error or other accidents, mechanical and technical failures, explosions and other events and accidents, many of which are beyond our control. Such occurrences could result in injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, business interruption, pollution and other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory requirements, investigations and penalties, potential liability claims and contractual disputes. In addition, such occurrences could materially impact our reputation. Although we maintain comprehensive insurance covering our assets and operations at levels that our management believes to be adequate, our insurance coverage will not be sufficient in all circumstances or to protect against all hazards. The occurrence of such an operational risk could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Deterioration in our safety record could adversely affect our business and financial performance

Our ability to retain existing clients and attract new business is dependent on our ability to safely operate our business. Existing and potential clients consider the safety record of their services providers to be of high importance in their decision to award service contracts. Some of our activities, in particular in our E&C segment, can be high risk by their nature. If one or more accidents were to occur at a site, the affected client may terminate or cancel our contract and may be less likely to continue to use our services. Although our track record on safety matters is consistent with industry standards, we cannot assure you that we will not experience accidents in the future, causing our safety record to deteriorate. Accidents may be more likely as we continue to grow, particularly if we are required to hire less experienced employees due to shortages of skilled labor. Moreover, often times we do not perform these activities by ourselves and accidents can happen due to errors committed by partners and subcontractors over whom we have no control. Because many of our clients require us to report our safety metrics to them as part of the bidding process and because a substantial part of our client base is comprised of major companies with high safety standards, a general deterioration in our safety record could have a material adverse impact on our business including our ability to bid for new contracts.

Any safety incidents or deterioration in our safety record could adversely impact our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. In addition, we could also be subject to liability for damages as a result of accidents and could incur penalties or fines for violations of applicable safety laws and regulations.

Increases in the prices of energy, raw materials, equipment or wages could increase our operating costs

Our business requires significant purchases of energy, raw materials and components, including, among others, large quantities of fuel, cement and steel, as well as purchases or leases of equipment. Certain inputs used in our operations are susceptible to significant fluctuations in prices, over which we may have little control. The prices of some of these inputs are affected to a significant extent by the prices of commodities, such as oil and iron. Global oil prices increased in 2017, decreased in 2018, increased in 2019 but declined precipitously in March 2020 as a result of a dispute among OPEC members about global prediction levels and the effect on demand caused by the disruption of economic activity associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot assure you that oil prices will remain low in the future (although increased oil prices would benefit revenues in our Energy line of business). Substantial increases in the prices of such commodities generally result in increases in our suppliers’ operating costs and, consequently, lead to increases in the prices they charge for their products. Moreover, we do not have long-term contracts for the supply of our key inputs, and, as a result, if prices increase significantly or if we are required to find alternative suppliers, our costs to procure these inputs may increase significantly. In addition, growing demand for labor, especially when coupled with shortages of qualified employees in the countries where we operate, may result in significant wage inflation. To the extent that we are unable to pass along to our clients increases in the prices of our key inputs or increases in the wages that we must pay, our operating margins could be materially adversely impacted.

We may not be able to recover on claims against clients for payment

If a client fails to pay our invoices on time or defaults in making its payments to us, we could incur significant losses. We occasionally bring claims against clients for delayed payments, additional costs that exceed the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price, including change orders. These types of claims can occur due to matters such as owner-caused delays or changes from the initial project scope, and, occasionally, they can be the subject of lengthy proceedings. When these types of events occur and unresolved claims are pending, we may invest significant working capital in projects to cover cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant claims. Moreover, we have recently encountered difficulties collecting on claims, even following successful arbitration awards, particularly against the government. A failure to promptly recover on these types of claims and change orders could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

If we are unable to enter into consortia or other strategic alliances, our ability to compete for new business may be adversely affected

We may join with other companies to form joint operations or other strategic alliances to compete for a specific concession or contract, including with partners that contribute expertise in a specific field. Because a consortium or alliance can often offer stronger combined qualifications than a company on a stand-alone basis, these arrangements can be important to the success of a particular bid. If we are unable to enter into consortia or other strategic alliances, our ability to compete for new business may be adversely affected.

Our consortia and other strategic alliances may be affected by disputes with, or the unsatisfactory performance by, our partners

Although we have a thorough partner selection process, consortia and other strategic alliances that we enter into as part of our business, including arrangements where operating control may be shared with unaffiliated third parties, may involve risks not otherwise present when we operate independently, including: sharing approval rights over major decisions; responsibility for our partners’ unpaid obligations or liabilities; ensuring ethical and compliance behavior; and inconsistencies in our and our partners’ economic or business interests or goals. Any disputes between us and our partners may result in delays, litigation or operational impasses. We may also incur liabilities as a result of action taken by our partners. In addition, if we participate in consortia or other strategic alliances where we are not the controlling party, we may have limited control over operational, financial and other management decisions and actions and the success of the consortium or other strategic alliance will depend largely on the performance of our partners. These risks could adversely affect our ability to transact the business of such consortium or other strategic alliance, and could result in the termination of the applicable concession or contract. Under these circumstances, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure adequate performance and delivery. These additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, increased liabilities or significant losses for us. In addition, failure by a partner to comply with applicable laws or regulations could negatively

impact our business and, in the case of government contracts, could result in fines, suspension or even debarment from participating in bidding processes. As a result, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by disputes involving our consortia or other strategic alliances.

We are dependent upon third parties to complete many of our contractual obligations

We rely on third-party suppliers to provide a significant amount of the materials and equipment used in our businesses. A portion of the work performed under our infrastructure concessions and, to a lesser extent, other contracts is performed by third-party subcontractors. As a result, the timely completion and quality of our projects may depend on factors beyond our control, including the quality and timeliness of the delivery of materials supplied for use in the project and the technical skills of subcontractors hired for the project. If we are unable to find qualified suppliers or hire qualified subcontractors, our ability to meet our contractual obligations could be impaired. In addition, if the amount we are required to pay for supplies, equipment or subcontractors exceeds what we have estimated, we may suffer losses under our contract. If a supplier or a subcontractor fails to provide supplies, equipment or services as required under a negotiated arrangement for any reason, or provides supplies, equipment or services that are not of an acceptable quality, we may be required to source those supplies, equipment or services on a delayed basis or at a higher price than anticipated, which could impact our financial performance. In addition, faulty materials or equipment could result in claims against us for failure to meet contractual specifications, and failure by suppliers or subcontractors to comply with applicable laws and regulations could negatively impact our reputation and our business and, in the case of government contracts, could result in fines, suspension or even debarment from participating in bidding processes. These risks may be intensified during economic downturns if these suppliers or subcontractors experience financial difficulties. As a result, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by our dependence on third-party providers.

Failure to comply with, or changes in, laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance

We operate in highly regulated industries. Our business and financial performance depends on our and our clients’ ability to comply on a timely and efficient basis with extensive national, regional and municipal laws and regulations relating to, among other matters, environmental, health and safety, building and zoning, labor, tax and other matters. The cost of complying with these laws and regulations can be substantial. In addition, compliance with these laws and regulations can cause scheduling delays. Although we believe we are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects, including our concessions or similar contractual obligations, we cannot assure you we have been or will be at all times in full compliance. Failure by us or our clients to comply with these laws and regulations, or our concessions or similar contractual obligations, could result in a range of adverse consequences for our business, including subjecting us to significant fines, civil liabilities and criminal sanctions, requiring us to comply with costly restorative orders, the shutdown of operations, and revocation of permits and termination of concessions or similar contracts. In addition, we cannot assure you that future changes to existing laws and regulations, or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, will not impair our ability to comply with such laws and regulations or increase our compliance costs.

We may be held liable for environmental damage caused by our operations

The nature of certain of our operations requires us to assume risks of causing environmental and other damages. We may be held liable for the environmental damage we cause, including the incidental consequences of human exposure to hazardous substances or other environmental damage. We may be subject to clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment and/or environmental contamination and damage. Our environmental liability insurance may not be sufficient or may not apply to certain types of environmental damage. Any substantial liability for environmental damage could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

New environmental regulation as a result of climate change could impact our business and financial performance

Growing concerns about climate change could result in the imposition of additional or more stringent environmental requirements or regulations. For example, there are ongoing international efforts to address greenhouse emissions, such as the Kyoto Protocol or the more recent Paris Agreement, which are in various stages of negotiation

Table of Contents

and implementation. If more stringent environmental regulation is adopted in the countries where we operate, we may be obliged to incur higher expenditures than anticipated, adversely affecting our financial performance. In addition, future remediation requirements in the event that we are found responsible for environmental damage may be substantial and could impact our financial condition. Moreover, more stringent environmental regulation could increase the costs of projects for our clients or, in some cases, prevent a project from going forward, thereby potentially reducing the demand for our services. Accordingly, new environmental regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

We may not be able to effectively protect ourselves against financial market risks

Our operations are exposed to financial market risks, such as risks related to exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. Fluctuations in currency, commodity prices or interest rates could adversely affect our financial performance. We cannot assure you that derivative financial instruments, if any, will protect us from the adverse effects of financial market risks. While hedging transactions are intended to reduce market risks, such transactions may expose us to other risks, such as counterparty risk. We may not be able to adequately protect ourselves against financial market risks and may not ultimately achieve an economic benefit from our hedging strategy.

The loss of a key client in some of our lines of business may affect our business and financial performance

In some of our lines of business, such as our Infrastructure segment, a substantial amount of the revenue we receive is concentrated among a limited number of clients, including the Peruvian government. If one or more of these major clients fail or delay in paying our fees, or if there is a significant reduction or cancellation of business by one or more of these major clients, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected. If we are not able to capture new clients to replace the loss of business from existing key clients, our financial performance may be adversely affected.

Our use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for our Engineering and Construction segment could result in a reduction of previously recorded profits

In accordance with IFRS, we measure and recognize a large portion of our revenues under the percentage-of-completion accounting methodology which required us to make assumptions and estimates as of the date of the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenues from engineering and construction contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method, which requires estimating the contract revenue and contract costs that will be obtained at culmination of work. Accordingly, these projections are determined by management based on their estimated budgets and adjusted periodically to reflect actual performance as work is completed. When changes occur that were not approved in a project’s original scope of work, income is recognized as equivalent to the costs incurred (i.e., no profit is recognized) until such changes have been approved.

Contract revenue and contract costs related to contracts are recognized in the company’s consolidated statement of income for the accounting periods in which the relevant work was executed. However, any expected or likely cost overruns that would exceed total expected revenue under the contract is recorded as an expense at the time of incurrence. In addition, any change in management’s estimates are reflected in contract revenue and contract cost for the period when such estimates are revised. Such adjustments could be material and could result in reduced profitability. In certain contracts, the terms of the agreement allow our customers to withhold certain amounts until construction is completed. Under these contracts, total collection from customers may not be realized until construction is completed.

While management believes that the estimates made pursuant to the percentage-of-completion method at the end of the 2019 year and prior years are reasonable and made in accordance with the above methodology, given the uncertainties associated with these types of contracts and inherent in the nature of some of the industries in which we operate, it is possible for actual costs to vary from estimates previously made, including due to changes in facts and circumstances, which may result in reductions or reversals of previously recorded profits.

Labor unrest could adversely affect our financial performance

All of our manual laborers and a portion of our employees are members of labor unions. Our practice is generally to extend benefits we offer our unionized employees to non-unionized employees. In our E&C segment, collective bargaining agreements are negotiated at two levels, on an annual basis between the Peruvian National Federation of Civil Construction and the Peruvian Chamber of Construction, without our direct involvement, and on a per project basis directly between the unions and us in accordance with such annual agreement. We also have collective agreements with our employees in certain of our business segments, which are also negotiated periodically. Although we consider that our relationship with unions is currently positive, we cannot assure you that we will not experience work slowdowns, work stoppages, strikes or other labor disputes in the future, which could result in the interruption or delay of our operations. Such interruptions or delays could have an adverse impact on our business, including on the cost of our projects and our ability to make timely delivery. Moreover, our operations may also be affected by labor unrest in our clients’ or our partners’ workforce.

The proceeds from our insurance policies may not be sufficient and we may not be insured against all risks

We maintain insurance coverage both as a corporate risk management strategy and in order to satisfy the requirements under certain regulations and contracts. We cannot assure you that proceeds from our insurance policies, however, will be sufficient to cover the damages resulting from any event covered by such policies. Certain risks are not covered under the terms of our insurance policies, such as interruption of operations. In such event, we may incur significant expenses to rebuild our facilities, repair or replace our equipment, or cover other damages. In addition, if any of our third-party insurers fail, abruptly cancel our coverage or otherwise cannot satisfy their insurance requirements to us, then our overall risk exposure and operational expenses could be increased. Moreover, we may not be able to renew our insurance policies on favorable terms, or at all. Although in the past we have been generally able to cover our insurance needs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure all necessary insurance in the future.

An increase in import duties and controls, or other restrictions on our obtaining instruments and equipment, may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance

Our future success depends in part on our ability to select and purchase high quality mechanical instruments and equipment at attractive prices. While we have historically been able to do so, such instruments and equipment may become subject to higher import taxes than currently apply. We cannot assure you that there will not be further increases in import taxes, changes in laws related to imports or the imposition of quotas by countries from which we import mechanical instruments and equipment, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, our ability to pay our instrument or equipment suppliers could be affected by our failure to obtain, on a timely basis, authorization from the Ministry of Justice pursuant to Law 30737 to make such payments. Law 30737 requires that companies such as our company that have been partners of groups that have been, or whose officers or representatives have been, convicted of, or have admitted to, corruption, money-laundering or similar crimes, submit money transfers abroad to the Peruvian Ministry of Justice for pre-approval. We cannot assure you that any such approvals will be granted in a timely manner or at all, and such restrictions may limit our ability to purchase necessary instruments and equipment.

The government may declare the nullity of public bidding processes after we have been awarded a project or concession

Even if we win the public bidding for a project or concession, the government may subsequently declare the process void for political, budgetary or other reasons and may cancel or terminate the project or concession awarded to us. For example, in June 2014, we were determined the winner of a public bidding for a concession to operate the fare collection system of Lima’s integrated transportation system for a period of 16 years. However, in January 2015, the Municipality of Lima notified us that the board of directors of the Instituto Metropolitano Protransporte de Lima – Protransporte had declared the nullity of the public bidding process, based on a report issued by the Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance, which concluded that the Ministry should have pronounced itself with respect to the concession prior to the bidding process instead of afterwards. We initiated a judicial proceeding in July 2015 to challenge such declaration of nullity, which proceedings remain ongoing. If upheld by the courts, the declaration of nullity of projects or concessions awarded to us could affect our future results of operations. Moreover, the uncertainty that results from these type of decisions may adversely impact investor confidence in Peru and our business.

Debarment from participating in government bidding processes could have an adverse impact on our business and financial performance

We or one or more of our subsidiaries would face debarment from participating in government bidding processes for one to three years if, including potentially as a result of the ongoing investigations against our company and GyM, we or our subsidiaries were found to have violated certain provisions of the Peruvian State Contracting Law (Ley de Contrataciones del Estado). We and our subsidiaries are required to comply with a large number of contractual obligations with the government in our business, and we cannot assure you that we will be in full compliance at all times. Moreover, the imposition of a debarment on a subsidiary could affect the ability of our company or our other subsidiaries (not just the subsidiary that was debarred), to participate in government bids under the Peruvian State Contracting Law. Approximately 99.9%, 82.5% and 97.3% of our E&C revenues for the 2019, 2018 and 2017 years, respectively, came from public-sector contracts in Peru. As of December 31, 2019, 72.8% of our backlog is comprised of contracts with the public sector. As a result, if we are debarred from participating in government bidding processes, our business and financial performance could be affected. To extent that economic conditions reduce private sector investments, being debarred from contracting with the Peruvian or other governments could further impact our company.

We may not be able to successfully expand outside of Peru

One of our long term strategies has been to continue to expand our operations outside of Peru, particularly in Chile and Colombia. We cannot assure you that we will be able to replicate our success in Peru in other countries. Our international expansion is subject to additional challenges, including: our ability to assimilate cultural differences and practices; our limited familiarity with local laws, regulators and contractors; our ability to attract and manage foreign personnel; the absence of a local workforce formed in our corporate values and familiar with our operations; competition in foreign markets, including from industry players with significantly greater local experience and reputation; and other risks specific to these countries. Moreover, we may not be able to make equity investments when needed by our foreign operations, due to restrictions imposed by Law 30737 on our ability to transfer funds abroad without pre-approval of the Peruvian Ministry of Justice.

Many countries in Latin America have suffered significant economic, political and social crises in the past, and these events may occur again in the future. If we are unable to overcome these challenges, we may not be able to successfully expand internationally.

We may not be able to make successful acquisitions

Part of our long-term strategy has been to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities to expand our operations and geographic footprint, especially in Chile and Colombia. We may not be able to identify appropriate acquisition opportunities, or, if we do, we may overpay for these acquisitions or may not otherwise be able to negotiate terms and conditions that are acceptable to us. We may also face difficulties obtaining financing to pay for acquisitions. Law 30737 currently requires that payments we make abroad be submitted to the Peruvian Ministry of Justice for pre-approval, and we cannot assure you that any such approvals will be granted in a timely manner or at all.

In addition, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals, including antitrust approvals, required to consummate acquisitions. Furthermore, even if we are able to successfully consummate an acquisition, we may encounter challenges in integrating the acquired business effectively and profitably into our operations. The integration of an acquisition involves a number of factors that may affect our operations, including diversion of management’s attention, difficulties in retaining personnel and entry into unfamiliar markets. Acquired businesses may not achieve the levels of productivity anticipated or otherwise perform as expected. Acquisitions may bring us into businesses we have not previously conducted and expose us to additional business risks that are different from those we have traditionally experienced, including new geographic, market, operating and financial risks. Moreover, acquisitions involve special risks, including the potential assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies. Even if such liabilities are assumed by the sellers, we may have difficulties enforcing our rights, contractual or otherwise. We cannot assure you that future acquisitions will meet our strategic objectives.

Our IT security measures may be breached or compromised and we may sustain system outages

Security breaches, whether intentional or unintentional, may threaten the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information resources and may allow unauthorized access to our systems, disrupt our digital operations, corrupt data, or allow persons to misappropriate confidential data. Any breach of our network security measures could cause interruptions in our services or operations, damage our reputation and harm our ability to operate our business. This may result in client or supplier dissatisfaction and a loss of business. Our security measures may be inadequate to prevent security breaches, and we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches and to alleviate problems caused by breaches as well as by any unplanned unavailability of our IT systems caused by other reasons, which may adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Our services may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others

Our services may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, and we may have infringement claims asserted against us. These claims may harm our reputation, increase our costs and prevent us from offering certain services or products. Any claims or litigation relating to intellectual property, even if ultimately decided in our favor, could be time-consuming and costly, injure our reputation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Any limitation on our ability to provide a service or product could result in our loss of revenue-generating opportunities and require us to incur additional expenses to develop new or modified solutions for future projects, which may adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Additional Risks Related to our Engineering and Construction Business

We are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of the end-markets we serve

Demand for our engineering and construction services is dependent on conditions in the end-markets we serve, which include, among others, the mining, power, oil and gas, transportation, real estate and other infrastructure sectors in Peru, as well as the mining sector in Chile and the energy sector in Colombia. Consequently, our engineering and construction business is closely linked to the performance and growth of these sectors, and it is exposed to many of the risks faced by our clients operating in these sectors, over which we have no control. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and, as a result, although downturns can impact our entire company, our engineering and construction business has historically been subject to periods of very high and low demand. Factors that can affect these sectors include, among others, macroeconomic conditions, climate conditions, the level of private and public investment, the availability of credit, changes in laws and regulations, and political and social stability. The mining and oil and gas sectors, in particular, are also driven by worldwide demand for the underlying commodities, including, among others, silver, gold, copper, oil and gas, which can be affected by such other factors as global economic conditions and geopolitical affairs. A decline in prices for minerals, oil and gas has had in the past, and could have in the future, a significant impact on our clients’ exploration and production activities and, as a result, on their demand for our engineering and construction services. Since mid-March 2020, many of these sectors have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governments’ extraordinary measures to limit the spread of the virus. Accordingly, continuing adverse developments in the end-markets served by our engineering and construction business could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Decreases in capital investments by our clients may adversely affect the demand for our services

Our engineering and construction business is directly affected by changes in private-sector and, to a lesser extent, public-sector investments for large-scale infrastructure projects. In addition, our engineering and construction business is directly affected by the availability and cost of financings for these projects. In the markets where we operate, investments and financings for large-scale projects have historically been influenced by macroeconomic and other factors which are beyond our control, including in the case of public-sector investment, government spending levels. As a result, we cannot assure you that clients will not choose to limit or not undertake new projects or delay, suspend or cancel existing projects. In 2018, Peru experienced a growth rate of 5.40% in private and public investment and, in 2019, Peru experienced a decline of 1.5%. In addition, since mid-March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and governments’ extraordinary measures to limit the spread of the virus, public and private sector investment in engineering and construction and infrastructure projects has stalled. Reductions in anticipated capital investments or available financing for large-scale projects could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Our revenues may fluctuate based on project cycles, which we may not control

The substantial majority of the revenues from our engineering and construction business is generated from project awards, the timing of which may be unpredictable and outside of our control, especially considering the highly competitive bidding processes and complex and lengthy negotiations they involve. These processes can be impacted by a wide variety of outside factors including governmental approvals, financing contingencies and overall market and economic conditions. Moreover, because a significant portion of our revenues is generated from large-scale projects, our results of operations can fluctuate quarterly or yearly depending on whether and when project awards occur and the commencement and progress of work under awarded contracts. As a result, we are subject to the risk that revenues may not be derived from awarded projects as quickly as anticipated.

Our business may be adversely affected if we incorrectly estimate the costs of our projects

We conduct our engineering and construction business under various types of contractual arrangements where costs are estimated in advance. In some of our contracts (i.e., lump-sum, unit price and EPC), we bear the risk of some or all unanticipated cost overruns, including those due to inflation or certain unforeseen events. Risks under contracts which could result in cost overruns include: difficulties in performance of our subcontractors, suppliers, or other third parties; changes in laws and regulations or difficulties in obtaining permits or other approvals; unanticipated technical problems; unforeseen increases in the cost of inputs, components, equipment, labor, or the inability to obtain these on a timely basis; delays caused by weather conditions; incorrect assumptions related to productivity or scheduling estimates; and project modifications that create unanticipated costs or delays. These risks tend to be exacerbated for longer term contracts since there is increased risk that the circumstances under which we based our original bid could change. In many of our contracts, we may not be able to obtain compensation for additional work performed or expenses incurred. Our failure to estimate accurately the resources and time required to complete a project could adversely affect our profitability. Even under our cost-plus contracts, our inability to complete projects within the estimated budget could affect our relationship with our clients and negatively impact awards of future contracts. As a result, if we incorrectly estimate the costs of our projects, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to deliver our services in a timely manner

The success of our engineering and construction business depends on our ability to meet the standards and schedules required by our clients. Significant delays that prevent us from providing our services on agreed time frames could adversely affect our client relations and reputation. Delays may occur for a number of reasons, including: our inability to adequately foresee the needs of our clients; delays caused by our joint operation partners, subcontractors or suppliers; insufficient production capacity; equipment failure; shortage of qualified workers; changes to customs regulations; and natural disasters. Failure to finish construction by the contractual completion date set forth in the contract could result in costs that reduce our projected profit margins, including a requirement to pay daily penalties and damages. If we are unable to meet deadlines, either due to internal problems or as a result of events over which we have no control, we may lose the trust of our clients and, therefore, experience a decrease in the demand for our services. In such event, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain compensation for additional work or expenses incurred as a result of client-requested change orders

Clients often determine, after commencement of the project, to change various elements of the project. Some of our contracts may also require that clients provide us with design or engineering information or with equipment or materials to be used on the project, and, in some cases, the client may provide us with deficient design or engineering information or equipment or materials or may provide the information or equipment or materials to us later than required by the project schedule. Our project contracts generally require the client to compensate us for additional work or expenses incurred due to client requested change orders or failure of the client to provide us with specified design or engineering information or equipment or materials. Under these circumstances, we generally negotiate with the client with respect to the amount of additional time required to make these changes and the compensation to be

paid to us. We are subject to the risk that we are unable to obtain, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, adequate amounts to compensate us for the additional work or expenses incurred by us due to client-requested change orders or failure by the client to timely provide required items. A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record an adjustment to amounts of revenue and gross profit that were recognized in prior periods. Any such adjustments, if substantial, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

We may have difficulty obtaining performance bonds that we require in the normal course of our operations

In our engineering and construction business, it is industry practice for customers to require performance bonds or other forms of credit support to secure, among other things, bids, advance payments and performance. We cannot assure you that in the future we will not encounter difficulties in obtaining such performance bonds or credit support. The Peruvian market for these types of credit instruments is small; moreover, under Peruvian banking regulations, lenders are required to impose limits on the amount of credit they extend to a group of affiliated companies. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may limit the availability of credit support that is available for engineering and construction businesses. Failure to provide performance bonds or credit support on terms required by clients may result in our inability to compete for or win new projects.

Additional Risks Related to our Infrastructure Business

A substantial or extended decline in oil prices may adversely affect our financial performance

A substantial part of the revenues of our infrastructure business depends upon prevailing prices for oil. Historically, oil prices and markets have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Moreover, global oil prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years, with the average Brent crude prices decreasing from US$66.87 per barrel in 2017 to US$53.80 per barrel in 2018, and increasing to US$66.00 per barrel in 2019. The price of oil has dropped precipitously due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to disputes between OPEC members, to US$30.80 as of March 31, 2020 and US$ 18.83 as of April 30, 2020. Oil is a commodity and its price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand for oil, market uncertainty, and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. Those factors include, among others: global demand and supply; political developments in producing regions; weather conditions; governmental regulations; international conflicts and acts of terrorism; the price and availability of alternative sources of energy; and overall local and global economic conditions. Moreover, lower oil prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis, but may also reduce the amount of oil we can produce economically, if any, and, as such, may have a negative impact on the reserves of the fields in which we operate. As result, our financial performance could be materially and adversely affected by declines in oil prices.

Our reserves estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and are not subject to review by independent reserve auditors

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, although the fields where we produce oil and gas are mature (Block I has been in production for over 100 years, Block III for approximately 100 years, Block IV for approximately 95 years and Block V for over 50 years). In order to prepare our reserves estimates presented in this annual report, we must project production rates and timing of development expenditures as well as analyze available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data, and the extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes, and availability of funds. Therefore, estimates of reserves are inherently imprecise. Moreover, our reserve estimates included in this annual report have been prepared internally by our team of engineers, and have not been audited or reviewed by independent engineers. Future real production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable reserves will most likely vary from the estimates presented in this annual report, and those variances may be material. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated reserves of the fields in which we operate.

Our service contracts with Perupetro for Block I and Block V are currently set to expire in December 2021 and October 2023, respectively, which may adversely affect our financial performance

We operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block I under a 20-year hydrocarbon extraction service contract with Perupetro S.A., which was extended for an additional 10-year term and expires in December 2021. Average daily production during 2019 was 647 barrels of crude oil. We operate 219 wells using various oil extraction systems and operate a network of production batteries and pipelines to collect, measure and deliver oil in fiscalization point close to the Talara refinery. In addition, we operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block V under a 20-year hydrocarbon extraction service contract with Perupetro, which was extended for an additional 10-year term and expires in October 2023. Average daily production during 2019 in this field was 105 barrels of crude oil. We operate 40 wells in this field using various oil extraction systems. Our failure to renew either of these service contracts on favorable terms or at all could adversely affect our business or results of operations.

Our return on our investment in our concessions may not meet estimated returns

Our return on any investment in a concession is based on the terms and conditions of the concession, its duration and the amount of capital invested as well as the amount of revenues collected, debt service costs, payment of penalties and other factors. For example, traffic volume at toll roads may be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including security conditions; general economic conditions; demographic changes; fuel prices; reduction in commercial or industrial activities in the regions served by the roads; changes in laws regarding toll payments, including related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and natural disasters. Decreased traffic at Norvial could adversely affect our financial performance. Although some of our concessions allow for adjustments based on economic conditions, certain concessions provide that adjustment requests be approved only if certain limited events specified in our concession contracts have occurred. If a request of adjustment is not granted, our financial performance could be affected. Given these factors and the possibility that governmental authorities could implement policies that affect our contractual return on investment in a way that we did not anticipate, we cannot assure you that our return on any investment under any concession will meet our estimates.

Governmental entities may terminate prematurely our concessions and similar contracts under various circumstances, some of which are beyond our control

Our ability to continue operating our concessions and similar public-sector contracts depends on governmental authorities, which may terminate the concession or contract pursuant to the provisions set forth therein or in accordance with applicable legislation, including the failure to comply with any contractual terms (including the concessionaire’s default on debt) or applicable law, including after giving effect to changes in laws (including any changes related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic). Moreover, the relevant governmental authority may terminate and/or repossess a concession at any time, if, in accordance with applicable law, the governmental authority determines that it is in the public interest to do so. The relevant governmental authority may also assume the operation of a concession in certain emergency situations, such as war, public disturbance or threat to national security. In addition, in the case of force majeure, the relevant governmental authority may require us to implement certain changes to our operations. If the government terminates any of our concessions, under Peruvian law, it is generally required to compensate us for the amount of our unrecovered investment, unless the concession is revoked pursuant to applicable law or the terms of the concession which would imply a serious breach of the concession’s terms by us. Such compensation process is likely to be time consuming and the amount paid to us may not fully compensate us. We cannot assure you that we would receive such compensation on a timely basis or in an amount equivalent to the value of our investment in a concession plus lost profits.

We are exposed to risks related to the operation and maintenance of our concessions and similar contracts

The operation and maintenance requirements under our concessions could encounter delays or cause us to exceed our budgeted costs for such projects, which could limit our ability to realize the expected return on these projects, increase our operating or capital expenses and adversely affect our business and financial performance. In addition, our operations may be adversely affected by interruptions or failures in the technology and infrastructure systems that we use to support our operations, including toll road collection and traffic measurement systems. The Lima Metro in particular may be susceptible to outages due to power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. The failure of any of our technology systems may cause disruptions in our operations, adversely affecting our

profitability. While we have business continuity plans in place to reduce the adverse impact of information technology system failures on our operations, we cannot assure you that these plans will be effective. Furthermore, accidents and natural disasters may also disrupt the construction, operation or maintenance of our projects and concessions, which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

We may not be successful in obtaining new concessions

The market for infrastructure concessions in Peru is competitive. We compete with Peruvian and foreign companies for infrastructure concessions in Peru, some of whom may have greater financial and other resources or particular expertise pertinent to a specific concession. Additionally, our public-sector clients may face budget deficits that may prohibit the development of infrastructure concessions, which could affect our business. We may also not be able to obtain additional concessions if the government decides not to award new concessions, due to budget constraints or policy changes or because alternative financing mechanisms are used. Recently, the awarding of concessions and the use of public-private associations in Peru have stalled, due in part to concerns related to the corruption scandal surrounding Odebrecht and its potential effect on government officials in the country. In addition, we may be temporarily unable to bid for or participate in new government concessions due to the outcome of the corruption investigations and civil and criminal proceedings facing the company in Peru, or any final settlement and cooperation agreement that we execute with the Peruvian government. Our inability to bid for or obtain new concessions may adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Moreover, we cannot assure you whether or when we will undertake any of the projects that have been awarded to us but for which contract negotiations are ongoing or stalled, in particular the concessions for Vía Expresa Sur, with respect to which we recently received a letter from the Municipality of Lima in which the Municipality communicated its desire to cease discussions to relaunch the project.

Additional Risks Related to our Real Estate Business

We are exposed to risks associated with the development of real estate

Our real estate business is subject to the risks that generally affect the real estate industry, such as availability and prices of suitable land, environmental and zoning regulations, interruptions in supply and volatility of the prices of construction materials and equipment, and changes in the demand for real estate. Our real estate business is specifically affected by the following risks: macroeconomic conditions in Peru that may impact the growth of the real estate sector as a whole, particularly in the residential market, including an increase in unemployment or a decrease in wage levels; an increase in prevailing interest rates or lack of available credit; changes in government subsidies for affordable housing; unfavorable real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply of residential units or scarcity of suitable land in particular areas; the level of customer interest in our new projects or the sales price per unit necessary to sell the unit may be lower than expected; customer perception of the security, convenience and attractiveness of our projects and the areas in which they are located; cost overruns, many of which may be beyond our control, that exceed our estimates and affect our profit margins, including the price of labor, land, insurance, taxes and public charges; the construction and sale of units may not be completed on schedule; bankruptcy or significant financial difficulties of large industry players, which cause a loss of confidence in the industry; limitations when contracting with government entities; and restrictions on real estate development imposed by local, regional and national authorities which often render restrictive or higher bureaucratic laws and regulations. Recently, real estate sales have slowed significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus, and to a lesser extent, due to modifications by the government to a program (Bono de Buen Pagador) that encourages social interest housing sales as well as access to credit. The occurrence or continuation of any of the above events may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Real estate prices may not continue to rise and may decline

Real estate prices in Peru have risen significantly over the last decade. We cannot assure you that this increase in real estate prices does not represent a bubble. Real estate prices in Peru may not continue to rise or may decline significantly, particularly if financing costs rise or consumer confidence in the real estate market erodes. In addition, real estate prices in Peru may decline significantly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus. If real estate prices decline significantly, our business and financial performance could be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Our business may be adversely affected if we are not able to obtain the necessary licenses and/or authorizations for our developments in due time

Real estate development requires obtaining certain licenses, authorizations and registrations. In Peru, municipal authorities are responsible for issuing most of the licenses that are required during the development stage, including zoning, demolition, construction and conformity (conformidad de obra) licenses, among others. As of March 31, 2020, we have approximately 17 real estate projects in various stages of development. For some of these projects, we have not yet initiated administrative proceedings with the appropriate authorities, or such proceedings are pending approval. A denial or an extended delay in issuing licenses, authorizations or registrations, or an extended delay by municipal authorities in approving licensing procedures, may render land unsuitable for development, delay the completion of planned projects, increase our costs or otherwise negatively impact the pricing of projects and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

The scarcity of financing, an increase in interest rates or an increase in the security required by financial institutions as collateral may adversely affect the ability or willingness of prospective buyers to purchase our real estate properties. In most cases, the purchasers of our residential or commercial properties finance at least part of the purchase price with mortgage loans. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, approximately 88%, 92% and 93%, respectively, of our residential units were sold to purchasers who received government subsidies to finance the purchase of homes. An increase in interest rates, whether as a result of market conditions or government action or otherwise, may cause a decrease in the demand for our residential and commercial properties and for land development. An increase in interest rates could also increase our own financing costs, which may, in turn, increase the sale price of our projects and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

We may experience difficulties in finding desirable land and increases in the price of land may increase our cost of sales and decrease our earnings

The continued growth of our real estate business depends in large part on our ability to continue to acquire land at a reasonable cost. As more developers enter or expand their operations in the Peruvian real estate sector, land prices could rise significantly and suitable land could become scarce or overpriced due to increased demand or decreased supply. A resulting rise in land prices may increase our cost of sales and decrease our earnings. We may not be able to acquire suitable land at reasonable prices in the future, which may have a negative impact on our financial performance.

Changing market conditions may adversely affect our ability to sell home inventories in our land and at expected prices

There is a lag between the time we acquire land and the time that we can bring the developed properties to market. Lag time varies by sector and on a project-by-project basis. As a result, we face the risk that demand for real estate may decline or that other developments may occur during this period that affect market conditions, and that we will not be able to dispose of developed properties or undeveloped land at expected prices or profit margins or within anticipated time frames or at all. Significant expenditures associated with investments in real estate, such as maintenance costs, architectural fees in high-end projects, construction costs and debt payments, cannot generally be reduced if changes in market conditions cause a decrease in expected revenues from our properties. Moreover, the market value of home inventories and undeveloped land can fluctuate significantly because of changing market conditions. As a result of these and other factors beyond our control, we may be forced to sell properties or land at a loss or for prices that generate lower profit margins than we anticipate.

Determinations by INDECOPI may adversely affect our ability to enforce binding contracts

In resolving consumer protection complaints in the real estate sector, INDECOPI has made determinations against real estate developers resulting in the modification of contractual provisions applicable to purchasers. Some purchasers of real estate properties have taken advantage of these INDECOPI determinations and filed complaints

 

34


Table of Contents

against developers before INDECOPI and/or made public claims through the media seeking to obtain compensation for alleged deficiencies in housing construction as well as the modification of the terms of their contracts, which may have a negative impact on our real estate business. Although we have a small number of such complaints in INDECOPI, an increase in consumer complaints and consumer protective measures, particularly those resulting in the modification of contractual terms, may affect our ability to enforce our contracts under their original terms if we are not able to counter such claims, which in turn may have a negative impact on our real estate business.

Risks Related to Peru

Economic, social and political developments in Peru could adversely affect our business and financial performance

The substantial majority of our operations are conducted in Peru and depend on economic and political developments in the country. As a result, our business may be materially and adversely affected by economic downturns, currency depreciation, inflation, interest rate fluctuation, government policies, regulation, taxation, social instability, political unrest, drug trafficking, terrorism and other developments in or affecting the country, over which we have no control. In the past, Peru has experienced periods of severe economic recession, large currency devaluation and high inflation. We cannot assure you that Peru will not experience similar adverse economic developments in the future. In addition, Peru has experienced periods of political instability that has included a succession of regimes with differing economic policies and programs. Previous governments have imposed controls on prices, exchange rates, local and foreign investments and international trade, restricted the ability of companies to dismiss employees, expropriated private-sector assets and prohibited the remittance of profits to foreign investors. We cannot assure you that the Peruvian government will continue to pursue open-market policies that stimulate economic growth and social stability.

Moreover, investigations against former or current government officials relating to bribery payments made by Odebrecht have, and may continue to, result in political uncertainty in Peru. In March 2018, President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski presented his resignation, due to allegations of corruption for vote-buying in connection with the impeachment proceeding against him, and his first vice president, Martín Vizcarra, was sworn in as acting president. In September 2019, the executive branch, invoking article 134 of the constitution, dissolved congress and called for new legislative elections which were held in January 2020. The term of the new legislature will end on the same date as the current presidential term in July 2021. Criminal investigations have been initiated against former presidents Alejandro Toledo, Ollanta Humala, Alan García and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. On April 17, 2019, former President Alan García committed suicide as prosecutors were preparing to detain him over matters relating to criminal investigations. Several corruption scandals regarding authorities at municipal, regional and national government levels are also ongoing, and former and current government officials have been detained. These corruption investigations have resulted in lower investments in large projects.

The political instability caused by these events could affect macroeconomic conditions in the country, including currency volatility, as well as have a negative effect on our business.

Fluctuations in the value of the sol could adversely affect financial performance

Fluctuations in the value of the sol relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect Peru’s economy. In addition, fluctuations in the value of the sol to the U.S. dollar can materially adversely affect our results of operations.

In 2017, 39.3% and 43.8% of our revenues were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively, whereas 63.9% and 18.3% of our costs of sales were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively. In 2018, 32.5% and 55.6% of our revenues were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively, whereas 63.0% and 23.1% of our costs of sales were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively. In 2019, 54% and 35% of our revenues were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively, whereas 64% and 21% of our costs of sales were denominated in soles and U.S. dollars, respectively. In the past the exchange rate between the sol and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated significantly. We cannot assure you that the value of sol against other currencies will not fluctuate significantly in the future, which could adversely affect the Peruvian economy and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

35


Table of Contents

In addition, although Peruvian law currently imposes no restrictions on the ability to convert soles to foreign currency, in the 1980s and early 1990s, Peru imposed exchange controls, including controls affecting the remittance of dividends to foreign investors. We cannot assure you that exchange controls in Peru will not be implemented in the future. The imposition of exchange controls could have an adverse effect on the economy and on your ability to receive dividends from us as a holder of ADSs.

Inflation could adversely affect our financial performance

In the past, Peru has suffered through periods of hyperinflation, which have materially undermined the Peruvian economy and the government’s ability to create conditions that support economic growth. A return to a high inflation environment would also undermine Peru’s foreign competitiveness, with negative effects on the level of economic activity and employment.

As a result of reforms initiated in the 1990s, Peruvian inflation decreased significantly from four-digit inflation during the 1980s. The Peruvian economy experienced annual inflation of 4.4% in 2015, 3.2% in 2016, 1.4% in 2017, 2.2% in 2018 and 1.9% in 2019, as measured by the Peruvian Consumer Price Index (Índice de Precios al Consumidor del Perú).

If Peru experiences substantial inflation in the future, our costs of sales and administrative expenses could increase which could affect our operating margins. Inflationary pressures may lead to governmental intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Peruvian economy. For example, in response to increased inflation, the Peruvian Central Bank, which sets the Peruvian basic interest rate, may increase or decrease the basic interest rate in an attempt to control inflation or foster economic growth.

Changes in tax laws may increase our tax burden and, as a result, negatively affect our financial performance

The Peruvian Congress and government regularly implement changes to tax laws that may increase our tax burden. These changes may include modifications in our tax rates and, on occasions, the enactment of temporary taxes that in some cases have become permanent taxes. Tax reforms related to the Peruvian income tax, value added tax and tax code have recently been approved, but we are unable to estimate the impacts that these reforms may have on our business. The effects of any tax reforms that could be proposed in the future and any other changes that result from the enactment of additional reforms have not been, and cannot be, quantified. However, any changes to our tax regime may result in increases in our overall costs and/or our overall compliance costs, which could negatively affect our financial performance.

Earthquakes, severe weather and other natural disasters could adversely affect our business and financial performance

Peru is located in an area that experiences seismic activity and occasionally is affected by earthquakes. For example, in 2007, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the central coast of Peru, severally damaging the region south of Lima. Such conditions may result in physical damage to our properties and equipment, closure of one or more of our project sites and infrastructure concessions, inadequate work forces in our markets and temporary disruptions in the supply of construction materials. In addition, Peru has also experienced adverse climate conditions (due to climate change or otherwise) and adverse weather patterns, such as El Niño, an oceanic and atmospheric phenomenon that causes a warming of temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in heavy rains off the coast of Peru and potentially flooding. Poor weather conditions can have significant adverse effects on our engineering and construction activities as well as on our operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets business. Any of these factors may materially adversely affect the Peruvian economy and our business and financial performance.

A resurgence of terrorism in Peru could adversely affect the Peruvian economy and, as a result, our business and results of operations

In the past, Peru experienced severe terrorist activity that reached its peak of violence against the government and private sector in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the mid-1990s, terrorist groups suffered significant defeats, including the arrest of leaders, resulting in considerable limitations in their activities. Despite the suppression of terrorist activity, we cannot assure you that a resurgence of terrorism in Peru, or other criminal activity, including drug trafficking, will not occur, or if there is such a resurgence, it will not disrupt the economy of Peru and our business.

The Peruvian economy could be affected by adverse economic developments in regional or global markets

Financial and securities markets in Peru are influenced, to varying degrees, by economic and market conditions in regional or global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perceptions of events occurring in one country may adversely affect cash flows and securities from issuers in other countries, including Peru. Changes in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions in large economies or in laws and policies governing foreign trade or affecting global financing conditions could create uncertainty in the international markets and could have a negative impact on emerging market economies, including the Peruvian economy, which in turn could have a negative impact on our operations. Since mid-March of 2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economic activity and is likely to cause a global recession. The worsening of current global conditions or a new economic or financial crisis could affect Peru’s economy and, consequently, materially adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Risks Related to Chile, Colombia and other Latin American Countries

We face risks related to our operations outside of Peru

Latin American economic, political and social conditions may adversely affect our business. Our financial performance may be significantly affected not only by general economic, political and social conditions in Peru but also in other markets where we operate or intend to operate, including Chile and Colombia. During 2017, 2018, 2019, approximately 28.0%, 14.2% and 15.4%, respectively, of our revenues on a consolidated basis derived from operations outside of Peru.

These countries have suffered significant economic, political and social crises in the past, and these events may occur again in the future. We cannot predict whether changes in current administrations will result in changes in governmental policy and whether such changes will affect our business. Instability in the region has been caused by many different factors, including: significant governmental influence over local economies; substantial fluctuations in economic growth; high levels of inflation; changes in currency values; exchange controls or restrictions on expatriation of earnings; high domestic interest rates; wage and price controls; changes in governmental economic or tax policies, including retroactive changes; imposition of trade barriers, including import duties on information technology equipment; electricity rationing; liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets; unexpected changes in regulation; expropriations; and high levels of organized crime, terrorism and social conflicts, as well as overall political, social and economic instability. Moreover, macroeconomic conditions in these countries are highly influenced by global commodity prices, including the price of copper for Chile and the price of oil and gas for Colombia.

In addition, beginning in October 2019, Chile has suffered from widespread social unrest and vandalism that has had a significant economic and political impact on the country. The protests began over the government’s announcement of an increase in subway fares in Santiago and quickly grew into broader unrest over economic inequality, including claims about transportation costs, funding for education, health care costs and pension amounts, among others. The Chilean government imposed a state of emergency and nighttime curfews in Santiago and other cities; however, protests and violence continued. The Chilean government took a series of social and economic measures to tackle the issues at the heart of the unrest, and the Chilean congress convened a plebiscite initially to be held in March 2020 to determine whether constitutional amendments should be implemented. The plebiscite has been rescheduled to October 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. This process may result in further social unrest and protest and could also result in substantial structural changes in Chile that could adversely impact the private sector, including our operations in the country.

Additionally, beginning in November 2019, Colombia experienced civic unrest in the form of a national strike and anti-government protests. Demonstrators in the country, protesting for several reasons, including opposing certain economic and political reforms proposed by the administration of President Duque, public corruption and the implementation of the peace agreement between Colombia and the guerrilla Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de

Colombia (FARC). In addition, protestors have demanded reforms related to pensions, access to education, environmental protection and inequality, among others. Our Colombian operations could be adversely impacted by rapidly changing economic, political and social conditions in Colombia and by the Colombian government’s response to such conditions. Additionally, any changes in the government administration, changing regulations or policies relating to the construction and infrastructure sectors, or shifts in political attitudes in Colombia could adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our ADSs

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we cannot maintain effective internal controls or provide reliable financial and other information in the future, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our ADSs

Based on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), management has concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses. Material weaknesses consisted of:

 

   

deficiencies in the operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance, including (1) inadequate monitoring of entities that provide services to companies in our group and may have an impact in our financial reporting, (2) the lack of a procedure or implementation of controls for the assurance of the integrity and correctness of key reports and (3) the absence of self-assessment by controls owners;

 

   

deficiencies in the design and operational effectiveness of the controls established in the accounting closing process with respect to the preparation and review of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including (1) inadequate supporting documentation for significant transactions prior to reflecting in accounting records, (2) late adoption of applicable accounting rules affecting our interim consolidated financial statements, (3) delay in undertaking evaluations required under IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and (4) failure to finalize a manual for accounting policies for all subsidiaries and our group as a whole; and

 

   

deficiencies in (1) the implementation of our new payroll system (SAP) for employees established in 2019 and (2) the segregation of duties for both our new employee payroll system (SAP) and our existing construction worker payroll system.

The material weaknesses described above did not result in adjustments to our annual consolidated financial statements. However, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements in our financial results and disclosures, which could result in a material misstatement to our annual consolidated financial statements not being prevented or detected. Because of these material weaknesses, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

For more information, see “Item 15. Controls and Procedures.” A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

We are in the process of implementing measures to address these material weaknesses. We may not be able to remediate these identified material weaknesses. Moreover, we may in the future discover other areas of our internal controls that have material weaknesses or that need improvement, particularly with respect to businesses that we acquire.

 

38


Table of Contents

Any failure to maintain an effective internal control over financial reporting, or implement required new or improved controls, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our ADSs.

The market price of our ADSs may fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment

Volatility in the market price of our ADSs may prevent you from being able to sell your ADSs at or above the price you paid for them. The market price and liquidity of the market for our ADSs may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include, among others: actual or anticipated changes in our results of operations, quarterly fluctuations, or failure to meet expectations of financial market analysts and investors; the impact of corruption allegations and investigations; investor perceptions of our prospects or our industries; operating performance of companies comparable to us and increased competition in our industries; new laws or regulations or new interpretations of laws and regulations applicable to our business; general economic trends in Peru; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and other natural disasters; and developments and perceptions of risks in Peru and in other countries.

Substantial sales of ADSs or common shares could cause the price of our ADSs or common shares to decrease

Significant shareholders hold a large number of our common shares. These securities are eligible for sale. The market price of our ADSs could decline significantly if we or our significant shareholders sell securities in our company or the market perceives that we or our significant shareholders intend to do so.

We may raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of equity securities, which may result in dilution of the interests of our shareholders

We may need to raise additional capital and may opt for obtaining such capital through the public or private placement of common shares, debt securities or debt securities convertible into our common shares. In such event we may seek to obtain financing through the exclusion of the preemptive rights of our shareholders, which may dilute the percentage interests of investors in our common shares.

No shareholder or group of shareholders holds a majority of our common shares

No shareholder or group of shareholders currently owns a majority of our common shares. In addition, there is no shareholders’ agreement among any of our significant shareholders. Accordingly, no shareholder or group of shareholders may on its own determine the outcome of substantially all matters submitted for a vote to our shareholders. In addition, a new investor or group of investors may in the future seek to acquire a significant stake in, or control of, our company, subject to compliance with Peruvian tender offer requirements which require that a tender offer be made to all shareholders upon, among other matters, acquisition of 25%, 50% and 60% of our voting rights. If a new investor or group of investors acquires a significant stake in, or control of, our company, we cannot assure you that such investor or group of investors will not seek to change how our business is managed.

Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise voting rights with respect to our common shares underlying the ADSs at our shareholders’ meetings

As a holder of ADSs representing common shares being held by the depositary in your name, you may exercise voting rights with respect to the common shares represented by the ADSs only in accordance with the deposit agreement relating to the ADSs. Holders of our common shares will receive notice of shareholders’ meetings through publication of a notice 25 days in advance, in accordance with Peruvian law, in the official gazette in Peru, a Peruvian newspaper of general circulation and the website of the Peruvian Securities Commission, and will be able to exercise their voting rights by either attending the meeting in person or voting by proxy. ADS holders will not receive notice directly from us. Instead, pursuant to the deposit agreement, we will notify the depositary, who will mail to holders of ADSs the notice of the meeting and a statement as to the manner in which voting instructions may be given. To exercise their voting rights, ADS holders must instruct the depositary how to exercise the voting rights for the common shares which underlie their ADSs. Due to these additional procedural steps involving the depositary, the process for exercising voting rights may take longer for ADS holders than for holders of our common shares.

 

 

39


Table of Contents

Holders of ADSs also may not receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote the common shares underlying their ADSs. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions of the holders of ADS or for the manner of carrying out such instructions, unless such failure can be attributed to gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the depositary or its agents. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise voting rights, and they will have little, if any, recourse if the underlying common shares are not voted as requested.

Our shareholders’ ability to receive cash dividends may be limited

Our shareholders’ ability to receive cash dividends may be limited by the ability of the depositary to convert cash dividends paid in soles into U.S. dollars. Under the terms of our deposit agreement with the depositary for the ADSs, the depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the common shares underlying the ADSs into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If this conversion is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADR holders to whom it is possible to do so. If the exchange rate fluctuates significantly during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the dividend distribution.

Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise preemptive or accretion rights with respect to the common shares underlying their ADSs

Under Peruvian corporate law, if we issue new common shares as part of a capital increase, unless otherwise agreed to by holders of 40% of our subscribed voting common shares and, provided that such capital increase does not favor, directly or indirectly, certain shareholders to the detriment of others, our shareholders will generally have the right to subscribe to a proportional number of common shares of the class held by them to maintain their existing ownership percentage, which is known as preemptive rights. In addition, shareholders are entitled to the right to subscribe for the unsubscribed common shares at the end of a preemptive rights offering, on a pro rata basis, which is known as accretion rights. You may not be able to exercise the preemptive or accretion rights relating to common shares underlying your ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the common shares relating to these preemptive and accretion rights, and we cannot assure you that we will file any such registration statement. Unless we file a registration statement or an exemption from registration is available, you may receive only the net proceeds from the sale of your preemptive and accretion rights by the depositary or, if the preemptive and accretion rights cannot be sold, they will be allowed to lapse. As a result, U.S. holders of our ADSs may suffer dilution of their interest in our company upon future capital increases.

We are entitled to amend the deposit agreement and to change the rights of ADS holders under the terms of such agreement without the prior consent of the ADS holders

We are entitled to amend the deposit agreement and to change the rights of the ADS holders under the terms of such agreement without the prior consent of the ADS holders. Any change related to an increase in deposits or charges for book-entry securities services or any modification that might hinder the rights of the ADS holders will be effective within 30 days after the ADS holders have received notice of such change or modification and such holders will have no right to any compensation whatsoever.

Peru has different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those you may be familiar with in the United States

Financial reporting and securities disclosure requirements in Peru differ in certain significant respects from those required in the United States. There are also material differences among IFRS, Peruvian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the information about us available to you will not be the same as the information available to holders of

 

40


Table of Contents

shares issued by a U.S. company. In addition, the Peruvian Securities Market Law, which governs open or publicly listed companies, such as us, imposes disclosure requirements that are more limited than those in the U.S. in certain important respects. Although Peruvian law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, applicable Peruvian laws are different from those in the United States, and the Peruvian securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets.

Our status as a foreign private issuer allows us to follow alternate standards to the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange, which may limit the protections afforded to investors

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance standards. Under NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practices of its home country and not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies with securities listed on the exchange. We currently follow certain Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. Accordingly, holders of our ADSs will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.

For example, the NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must have a majority of independent directors at the time our company ceases to be a “controlled company.” Under Peruvian corporate governance practices, a Peruvian company is not required to have a majority of independent members on its board of directors. The listing standards for the NYSE also require that U.S. listed companies, at the time they cease to be “controlled companies,” have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee (in addition to an audit committee). Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards. Under Peruvian law, a Peruvian company may, but is not required to, form special governance committees, which may be composed partially or entirely of non-independent directors. In addition, NYSE rules require the independent non-executive directors of U.S. listed companies to meet on a regular basis without management being present. There is no similar requirement under Peruvian law.

The NYSE’s listing standards also require U.S. listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. In July 2002, the Peruvian Securities Commission and a committee comprised of regulatory agencies and associations prepared and published a list of suggested non-mandatory corporate governance guidelines called the “Principles of Good Governance for Peruvian Companies.” Although we have implemented these measures, we are not legally required to comply with the corporate governance guidelines, only disclose whether or not we are in compliance.

Minority shareholders in Peru are not afforded equivalent protections as minority shareholders in other jurisdictions and investors may face difficulties in commencing judicial and arbitration proceedings against our company or the controlling shareholder

Our company is organized and existing under the laws of Peru. Accordingly, investors may face difficulties in serving process on our company, officers and directors or significant shareholders in the United States of certain other jurisdictions, and in enforcing decisions granted by courts located in other jurisdictions against our company, our officers and directors or significant shareholders that are based on securities laws of jurisdictions other than Peru.

In Peru, there are no proceedings to file class action suits or shareholder derivative actions with respect to issues arising between minority shareholders and an issuer, its controlling shareholders or directors and officers. Furthermore, the procedural requirements to file actions by shareholders differ from those of other jurisdictions, such as in the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us, our directors, officers or significant shareholders as compared to the shareholders of a U.S. company. The deposit agreement provides that the depositary has no obligation to commence or become involved in any judicial proceedings and any other legal actions relating to the ADSs or the deposit agreement, either on behalf of the ADS holders or on behalf of any other person.

Judgments of Peruvian courts with respect to our common shares will be payable only in soles

If proceedings are brought in the courts of Peru seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of the common shares, we will not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than soles. Under Peruvian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Peru to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than soles may be satisfied in Peruvian currency only at the exchange rate, as determined by the Peruvian Central Bank, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not afford non-Peruvian investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under the ADSs.

If securities or industry analysts publish unfavorable research about our business or if they cease to follow our business, the price and trading volume of the ADSs could decline

The trading market for the ADSs will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades the ADSs or publishes unfavorable research about our business, the price of the ADSs would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for the ADSs could decrease, which could cause the price and trading volume of the ADSs to decline.

Business Overview

Overview

We are the largest engineering and construction company in Peru as measured by revenues during 2019, and one of the largest publicly-traded engineering and construction companies in Latin America as measured by market capitalization as of December 31, 2019, with strong complementary businesses in infrastructure and real estate.

With more than 85 years of operations, we have a long track record of successfully completing the engineering and construction of many of Peru’s landmark private- and public-sector infrastructure projects, such as the Lima International Airport and the Peru LNG gas liquefaction plant, and we believe we have a track record of operational excellence in our markets. We have developed a highly-experienced management team, a talented pool of more than 1,900 engineers and a skilled work force that share our core corporate values of quality, professionalism, reliability and efficiency. As a company listed on the Lima Stock Exchange since 1997 and the NYSE since 2013, we also endeavor to meet the highest corporate governance standards in Peru.

Table of Contents

Beginning in the mid-1980s, we leveraged our engineering and construction expertise into complementary lines of business, such as the development, ownership, operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets (including the Lima Metro, Peru’s only urban railway system), as well as real estate development. We believe our business mix creates significant opportunities across our lines of business, generates more stable revenues and earnings on a consolidated basis, and provides additional financial stability to our company.

Through the successful execution of those projects, we have developed operational experience in other Latin American countries. We have further expanded our activities in other key markets of the region through the acquisition of businesses with solid positions in those markets. In October 2012, we acquired a controlling interest in Vial y Vives, an engineering and construction company specializing in the Chilean mining sector, and in August 2013, we acquired a controlling interest in DSD Construcciones y Montajes, a Chilean engineering and construction company specialized in providing services to the energy, oil and gas, cellulose and mining sectors in Chile and Latin America. In December 2014, we acquired a controlling interest in Morelco, an engineering and construction company specialized in the Colombian oil and gas and other energy sectors.

The tables below show our backlog, revenues and EBITDA from 2015 to 2019.

 

LOGO

During 2019, we generated revenues of S/4,085.0 million (US$1,231.5 million), EBITDA of -S/159.0 million (-US$47.9 million), and net loss of S/838.6 million (US$252.8 million) including net loss attributable to controlling interest of S/884.7 million (US$266.7 million).

Our Strengths

We believe our company’s strengths provide us with significant competitive advantages. Our principal strengths include the following:

Leader in growing markets

We are the largest engineering and construction company in Peru as measured by revenues during 2019, and one of the largest publicly-traded engineering and construction companies in Latin America as measured by market capitalization as of December 31, 2019. Prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peru has been undergoing a period of development, with over 4.0% average annual real GDP growth between 2010 and 2019 and significant private and public investments in the mining, power, oil and gas, transportation, real estate and other infrastructure sectors. We have completed some of the most complex and large-scale infrastructure projects in the country, and we believe we are an integral part of Peru’s ongoing transformation with projects that contribute to the overall economic development of the country. We believe our expertise, track record, scale and operational capabilities in Peru position us to take advantage of the country’s favorable economic conditions and growth opportunities. We believe we are also a significant infrastructure concessionaire in Peru and a large apartment building developer in Peru.

Long-standing track record for operational excellence

During our more than 85-year history, we have focused on the successful and on-time execution of complex projects, through our “deliver before deadline” and “lean construction” initiatives. Our extensive experience has allowed us to gain deep market knowledge and expertise, which help us better serve our clients and manage risks in our contractual arrangements. We believe we have a track record of operational excellence. We believe that our track record of operational excellence are key factors in winning new and repeat business, as well as in partnering with strategic industry players and attracting top talent to our company.

Complementary lines of business which generate more stable cash flows and create additional business opportunities across our segments

We have expanded our company by developing complementary lines of business, many of which have become leaders in their respective markets. These lines of business create significant business opportunities across our segments, enabling us to capture a greater share of infrastructure spending, and also generate cost synergies. One example is Norvial, a toll road concession operated within our Infrastructure segment. In addition to managing the concession, we used our E&C segment to design and construct the expansion of the highway and, once constructed, we are now using our Infrastructure segment to operate and maintain the highway. In addition to increasing our levels of consolidated activity, many of these lines of business enable us to achieve more stable cash flows through medium and long-term client service contracts and concessions, which counter in part the cyclicality of the engineering and construction business.

Significant backlog

Our backlog amounted to US$1,396.4 million as of December 31, 2019. We believe that our backlog, which as of December 31, 2019 represented approximately 1.13x of our related 2019 revenues, provides visibility as to our potential for growth in the coming years, although backlog may not always be an accurate indicator of future revenues. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Company—Our backlog and our ratio of historical backlog to revenues may not be reliable indicators of future revenues or profit.” Moreover, we believe our backlog is strategically targeted to our key end-markets such as mining, infrastructure, power, energy and real estate. Approximately 72.8% of our backlog across our segments as of December 31, 2019 is comprised of contracts with the private sector. Furthermore, we continuously evaluate bidding on contracts arising from the significant ongoing private and public investments in Latin America.

Proven ability to create and grow businesses organically and through acquisitions

We have proven our ability to extend our engineering and construction capabilities into complementary lines of business in a diverse range of industries, some of which began as innovative start-ups in response to client needs. For example, in October 2012, we acquired Vial y Vives, an engineering and construction company specializing in the Chilean mining sector which complements our leading E&C practice in the mining sector. In August 2013, we acquired a controlling interest in DSD Construcciones y Montajes, a Chilean engineering and construction company whose main focus is electromechanical works and assemblies in construction projects related to oil refineries, pulp and paper, power plants and mining plants. In December 2014, we acquired a controlling interest in Morelco, an engineering and construction company specialized in the Colombian oil and gas and other energy sectors. We believe that our proven ability to create new businesses, develop businesses organically and acquire and successfully integrate new businesses into our platform is a key competitive advantage to expand our operations in Latin America.

Highly experienced management, talented engineers and skilled workforce, with shared core corporate values

We motivate our management through performance-based compensation, which align their interests with those of our shareholders. In addition, through our efforts to attract, train and retain our workforce, we have built a talented team of employees, including more than 1,900 engineers. We also have access to a network of approximately 132,000 manual laborers throughout Peru that can supplement our workforce when required by our construction pipeline. Thanks to our extensive and talented team, we have the capability and scale to undertake large and complex projects in Peru and elsewhere.

We have developed a strong corporate culture based on principles of high quality, professionalism, reliability and efficiency, as well as compliance and risk management. We safeguard the health and safety of our collaborators and of all the persons participating in our operations and services. To that end, we provide safe work conditions, we manage risks in a timely manner and we promote a culture of prevention, starting from the leadership and commitment of our senior management. In 2019, we had an accident incidence rate of 0.25, calculated over 200,000 hours worked.

Our Strategies

In response to the impact of our association with Odebrecht in certain projects in Peru and the termination of the GSP pipeline concession, we continue to implement a strategic action plan, as described in “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020).”

Our vision is to be “the most reliable engineering services company in Latin America.” Our key long-term strategies to achieve this vision include being the contractor of choice for large-scale and complex projects in Peru and other key Latin American markets, and continuing to foster our corporate values throughout the organization.

We intend to enhance our position as a contractor of choice for large-scale and complex infrastructure projects in Peru and other key Latin American markets, by (i) utilizing the scale, expertise and market knowledge we have accumulated during our more than 80-year operating history to strengthen and expand our E&C segment; (ii) maintaining and further developing our long-standing client relationships based on our ongoing pursuit of operational excellence; (iii) continuing to strategically partner with global industry leaders, with complementary capabilities for specific projects that we undertake; and (iv) leveraging our expertise in the mining sector with a view to becoming the premier mining services provider throughout Latin America.

We will continue to instill our core corporate values throughout our organization, while also transmitting these values to surrounding communities. We will continue to attract and develop our human capital through various training, mentorship and reward programs in order to maintain our position as the best company in Peru to learn and work in the engineering and construction field. We also seek to promote social welfare by fostering relationships with the communities that surround our areas of operation. We strive to promote our corporate values to strengthen our organization and improve our performance as well as to have a positive impact on the markets where we operate.

Engineering and Construction

Our E&C segment has a more than 85-year track record and is the largest engineering and construction company in Peru as measured by revenues during 2019, undertaking a broad range of activities relating to: engineering; civil construction; electromechanic construction and building construction. We provide E&C services for a diverse range of end-markets, focusing on the mining, power, oil and gas, transportation, real estate and other infrastructure sectors. The following chart sets forth our 2019 revenues by end-market.

2019 E&C Revenues by End-Market

 

LOGO

 

In our E&C segment, we mainly undertake private-sector projects, particularly projects with a high degree of complexity, which enable us to develop innovative and tailor-made solutions to our clients. We provide our clients with an integral service offering by leveraging our various areas of expertise and engaging in virtually all aspects of project execution, thereby capturing a larger share of investment projects.

In 1999, we began adopting the “lean construction” philosophy as a pillar in our design and construction projects. “Lean construction” aims to create value for customers by better understanding and considering clients’ needs to improve project design, functionality and cost optimization. “Lean construction” also provides techniques and tools that significantly reduce construction waste by improving planning reliability, process design, coordination and collaboration.

Although we primarily undertake engineering and construction projects in Peru, our clients often ask us to undertake the engineering and construction of large and complex projects in other countries, such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Panama and Chile. As a result, we have developed extensive experience executing projects throughout Latin America. To further capitalize on our capabilities and expertise, we have expanded our activities into other key markets, such as Chile and Colombia, which have been benefitting from high levels of investment and are aligned with our areas of strategic focus. In 2019, approximately US$190 million (S/630 million) of our E&C revenues were derived from international projects outside of Peru.

The acquisition of two companies, Vial y Vives and DSD, which were later merged, has solidified our presence in Chile. While we have been undertaking projects in Chile since 1995, such as the construction of the transmission line and crusher of the Caserones mine for SCM Minera Lumina Copiapo, we believe we will benefit from the established and long-lasting presence in the country of both Vial y Vives and DSD Construcciones y Montajes. Moreover, through the acquisition in December 2014 of Morelco, an engineering and construction company focused on the oil and gas and other energy sectors, we established our presence in the Colombian market.

Given the prevalence of mining operations in our principal markets, we have significant expertise with respect to specialized engineering and construction services for the mining sector. As a result, we believe we are one of the leading mining construction companies in Latin America and we leverage this expertise both within our principal markets as well as to selectively undertake complex projects across the region.

Clients

We believe that we have developed long-term relationships with many clients as a result of our performance over the years and are focused on the successful and on-time execution of complex projects, through our “deliver before deadline” and “lean construction” initiatives. Our extensive experience of operational excellence has allowed us to gain deep market knowledge and expertise, which help us better serve our clients. The principal clients of our E&C segment include renowned domestic and multinational mining, power, oil and gas, transportation and infrastructure development companies, such as AngloAmerican, Southern Peru, Cobra Perú, Marcobre and Corporación Aceros Arequipa, Compañía Minera TECK Quebrada Blanca S.A., Minera Spence S.A., ENAP Refinerías and Minera Escondida LTDA, among others.

Project Selection and Bidding

We win new engineering and construction contracts through private and public bidding processes or direct negotiation, from a variety of sources, including potential client requests, proposals from existing or former clients, opportunities sought by our commercial team and from requests by the Peruvian government. Approximately 99.9%, 82.5% and 97.3% of our 2019, 2018 and 2017 revenues in our E&C segment, respectively, came from private-sector contracts. The Peruvian government and its agencies typically award construction contracts through a public bidding process conducted in accordance with the Peruvian State Contracting Law (Ley de Contrataciones del Estado). In the private sector, in addition to obtaining new projects, another important source of revenue involves increases in the scope of work to be performed in connection with already existing projects. These arrangements are typically negotiated directly with the client, often during the course of the work we are already performing for that client.

We have a designated team that oversees the management of project proposals and a commercial team that reviews and evaluates potential projects in order to estimate costs. We also have a business development committee, which makes decisions about whether or not to apply for projects. In considering whether to bid for a potential project, we principally consider the following factors: competition and the probability of being awarded the project; project size; the client; our experience undertaking similar projects; and the availability of resources, including human resources. As part of the project selection process, our commercial team performs a detailed cost analysis utilizing sophisticated software we developed to assist in determining whether the project is viable and cost-effective. If we choose to pursue a project, a budget leader is assigned to prepare the offer that is eventually presented to our potential client.

Despite the budgeting risks generally associated with engineering and construction contracts, our management believes that our experience generally allows us to estimate our project costs accurately. Our project management teams also periodically review project budgets for inconsistencies between budgeted and actual costs in order to recover for cost variations through contract renegotiation. Budgeting risks are also mitigated through advance payments. Considering that we receive advance payments for most of our E&C contracts, our E&C projects typically do not require significant working capital investment. Our E&C segment secures financing primarily to purchase machinery and equipment for our construction services.

Table of Contents

We are required, in the majority of our construction contracts, to provide a performance bond to guarantee project performance and completion, which remain in effect for the contract’s duration. We are also required to provide performance bonds to secure any advance payments provided to us by our clients. These bonds are periodically reduced during the project’s execution in accordance with project advancement. After the expiration of the contract term, we are typically required to provide an additional performance bond that remains valid for one year.

Contracts

We principally enter into four types of engineering and construction contracts:

 

   

Cost-plus fee contracts. The contract price is based upon actual costs incurred for time and materials plus a fee, which may be a percentage of the costs incurred or a pre-determined fee. Sometimes, cost-plus fee contracts include a target price, and a contractual arrangement that determines our responsibility in the event the total cost of the project exceeds the target price or the benefit we receive if the total contract price results in cost savings. Cost-plus fee contracts tend to involve the least budgeting risk for us.

 

   

Unit price contracts. The contract price is based upon a price per unit (i.e., variable quantities of work priced at defined unit rates). Each line item of the project budget, such as cubic meter of earth excavated or cubic meter of concrete poured, has a defined price, but the quantities of the units may vary. Our bid price reflects our estimate of the costs that we expect to incur for each work unit. These contracts typically include an “escalation” clause which is essentially an adjustment mechanism to account for Peruvian inflation.

 

   

Lump-sum contracts. The contract price is fixed. Our bid is meant to cover all costs and include a profit. The principal risk in these types of contracts are errors in calculating our costs, including those of raw materials; miscalculation of the number of units or workers needed to complete the project; unanticipated technical complexities; or other unexpected events or circumstances that may increase our costs.

 

   

Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts. EPC contracts, known as “single source” or “turn-key” contracts, are also lump-sum contracts. Pursuant to EPC contracts, we provide a broad range of basic and detailed engineering services, including preparation of the technical project specifications, detailed drawings and construction specifications; technical studies; and identification of lists of materials and equipment necessary for the project. These contracts, which we utilize predominantly for our mining contracts, require a high-level of expertise and generally involve the most budgetary risks for us.

For further information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Results of Operations.”

Raw Materials

The principal inputs we use in our E&C segment are, among others, fuel, cement and steel. These and the other products we require in our E&C segment may be subject to the availability of raw materials, such as oil and iron, and commodity pricing fluctuations, which we monitor on a regular basis. We typically aim to enter into master supply agreements for a period of six months to one year. Although we obtain the majority of our inputs needs in Peru, we believe we have access to numerous global supply sources. The availability of these inputs, however, may vary significantly from year to year due to various factors including client demand, producer capacity, market conditions, transport costs and specific material shortages, and we may incur additional costs in obtaining them.

We purchase and lease the equipment we require for our E&C segment business from several local and international suppliers, currently with no significant concentration with any particular suppliers. While we do not have difficulty obtaining the equipment we need, we may face difficulties finding skilled personnel who are able to operate certain equipment and machinery.

Competition

We generally compete with some of the largest contractors in Peru and the other countries where we operate. Because the E&C sector is highly competitive, the markets served by our business generally require substantial resources and highly-skilled and experienced technical personnel. The principal competitors of our E&C segment include local companies such as Besalco S.A., Cosapi S.A., San Martín Contratistas Generales, ICCGSA, JJC Contratistas Generales S.A., and international companies such as Techint S.A.C., SSK Montajes e Instalaciones S.A.C., Skanska del Perú S.A., Mota-Engil Peru S.A., Salfacorp S.A., OHL, Acciona, Astaldi, Grupo FCC, Ismocol, Termotecnica, Masa, Thiess and Redpath, among others. For certain projects, due to the size of the project, expertise required and other factors, we may choose to partner with our competitors, including the aforementioned companies.

Competition for our E&C segment is driven by performance, skill and project execution capabilities for completing complex projects in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner, as well as price.

Infrastructure

We are an important toll road concessionaire in Peru, operating three toll roads. Moreover, we are the concessionaire for the Lima Metro, the largest mass-transit rail system in Peru, and a waste water treatment plant. Additionally, we operate ten multiple fuel storage facilities, four producing oil fields under long-term government contracts and we own a gas processing plant. Also, we provide services to maintain and operate different infrastructure projects.

The table below sets forth selected financial information for our Infrastructure business segment.

Our strategy is to pursue concessions with the potential to generate business opportunities across our organization. Once we obtain a concession, our goal is to be involved virtually in all aspects of project execution through the participation of our different business segments, from the design and construction to the operation and maintenance of the infrastructure asset.

Through our Infrastructure segment we participate in a number of joint operations with the objective of bidding for government concessions or other long-term contracts. When bidding, we occasionally look for partners to reduce our risks and achieve the level of expertise needed to meet the demands of each particular project.

We own a gas processing plant and have a long-term delivery and gas processing contract with Enel Generación Piura S.A., which is in force until November 2023.

A consortium including the company held a concession to operate the South Fuel Terminal beginning in 1997. The terminal had an aggregate storage capacity of 1.4 MMbbl, 50.0%. The concession was terminated on November 2, 2019, and the concession reverted to Petroperú.

Additionally, the Chavimochic concession was awarded in 2013 for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of major hydraulic works in northern Peru. Affiliates of Odebrecht own 73.5% of the Chavimochic consortium, with the remaining 26.5% stake held by us. The second phase of the hydraulic works project has not begun as a result of the government’s failure to deliver the required lands for the project. Chavimochic is currently in discussions with the government in relation to the future of the project.

On November 11, 2013, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”), to create an alliance regarding a partnership to invest in infrastructure projects in Latin America, mainly Peru, Chile and Colombia. This alliance was non-exclusive and investments were determined on a case-by-case basis. In December 2014, we undertook our first large investment with CPPIB, by formalizing an agreement with Enagas (as defined below) and CPPIB whereby we acquired 51% of Tecgas and owner of 100% of the shares of COGA, the operator of TGP, while Enagas acquired 30% and CPPIB maintained 19% of the participation. On April 24, 2017, we sold our interest in COGA.

On September 29, 2015, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with Odebrecht Latinvest to participate with a 20% stake in the shareholder equity of Concesionaria Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A., for an amount of US$215 million (S/722.4 million). On November 2, 2015, we acquired this 20% stake in GSP through a capital increase. The other shareholders are Odebrecht Latinvest with a 55% stake and Enagas with a 25% stake. Concesionaria Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. was responsible for the design, financing, construction and operation of the southern gas pipeline, a project which would bring natural gas to the southern region of Peru, particularly to the provinces of Cuzco, Arequipa, Puno and Moquegua. The GSP gas pipeline concession was terminated by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines on January 24, 2017. For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020)—Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession.”

Principal Infrastructure Lines of Business

Toll Roads

Peru’s economic development is underpinned by a strong government commitment to infrastructure investment, with a particular focus on improving the country’s road system through the award of new concessions to the private sector. We believe this commitment offers significant opportunities to our Infrastructure segment. The following map shows the location of the Red Vial 5 road in Peru.

 

LOGO

Our Infrastructure segment currently has three toll road concessions through our subsidiaries Norvial, Survial and Canchaque. All three toll roads are currently in operation and we have the authorizations, permits and licenses necessary to fulfill our obligations under each concession, including releases of rights of way. All of our toll road concessions have utilized the construction services of our E&C segment and the roads are currently operated and maintained by our subsidiary Concar. The table below sets forth selected financial information relating to our toll roads.

Norvial

Under our Norvial concession, we operate and maintain part of the only major highway that connects Lima to the northwest of Peru. This 183-km road, known as Red Vial 5, runs from the cities of Ancón to Pativilca and has three toll stations. The concession was awarded to Norvial in 2003 for a 25-year term. In June 2018, the company transferred economic rights over 48.8% of the share capital of Norvial to Inversiones en Autopistas S.A. by transferring its Class B shares. Our company continues to possess 67% of voting rights of Norvial and an economic interest of 18.2% of Norvial’s share capital. Additionally, JJC Contratistas Generales S.A. owns 16.8% and Inversiones en Infraestructura Perú S.A.C. owns 16.2%.

Norvial’s revenue derives from the collection of tolls. For the Norvial toll road, the toll rate is set out in the Norvial concession agreement and adjusted in accordance with a contractual formula that takes into account the sol/U.S. dollar exchange rate and Peruvian and U.S. inflation. We are required to transfer 5.5% of our monthly toll revenue to the Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications and pay a 1% regulatory fee to the Peruvian Supervisory Agency for Investment in Public Transportation Infrastructure.

Our obligations under the concession include expanding the already existing road by, among other things, adding two additional lanes. The first stage of construction was completed in 2008, and the second stage commenced in the second quarter of 2014 and was completed by the end of 2019. The capital investment for the second stage was US$96 million (S/319.2 million).

Unlike other toll roads in Peru, Norvial charges toll fees in both directions. Our road is highly transited both by heavy vehicles, primarily for the purpose of transporting goods, and also by passenger vehicles, which typically use the road to access tourist destinations. In June 2018, we signed an investment agreement with BCI Perú to monetize future dividends of Norvial. The amount of the transaction was US$42.3 million, the proceeds of which were applied to the reduction of indebtedness related to GSP. Recent Peruvian legislation in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prohibited certain toll collections. The Peruvian executive branch has initiated an action to declare government prohibitions on collecting tolls unconstitutional, and the company is evaluating its legal options in respect of the same. The following table sets forth average daily traffic volume and average toll fees charged for vehicle equivalents in respect to the Norvial toll road concession for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Survial

Under our Survial concession, we operate and maintain a 750 km road from the San Juan de Marcona port to Urcos, Peru, which is connected to an interoceanic road that runs up to the Peruvian-Brazilian border. The road has five toll stations and three weigh stations. The concession was awarded to Survial in 2007 for a 25-year term. We own 99.9% of Survial. The following map shows the location of the road in Peru.

 

LOGO

Our obligations under the concession include the construction of the road, which was completed in 2010.

Our revenue from this concession consists of an annual fee paid to Survial by the Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications in consideration for the operation and maintenance of the road, which fee can vary depending on the amount of maintenance required due to road damages. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the fee amounted to US$28.4 million (S/92.2 million), US$8.4 million (S/28.3 million) and US$9.8 million (S/32.4 million), respectively. Our revenue in this concession does not depend on traffic volume.

Table of Contents

Additional revenues of the concession are generated from the execution of additional works, work we perform as a result of catastrophic events and emergency maintenance. These revenues are billed when approval is received from the grantor and/or the regulator of the work in progress. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the additional revenues amounted to US$1.0 million (S/0.2 million), US$15.9 million (S/53.8 million) and US$2.0 million (S/6.6 million), respectively.

Canchaque

Under our Canchaque concession, we operate and maintain a 78 km road from the towns of Buenos Aires to Canchaque, in Peru. The road has one toll station. The concession was awarded to Canchaque in 2006 for a 15- year term. We own 99.96% of Canchaque. Our obligations under the concession include the construction of the road, which was completed in 2009. Our revenue from this concession consists of an annual fee paid by the Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications in consideration for the operation and maintenance of the road, which fee can vary depending on the amount of road maintenance required due to road wear and tear. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the fee amounted to US$5.1 million (S/16.6 million), US$7.8 million (S/26.2 million) and US$2.7 million (S/8.8 million), respectively. Our revenue in this concession does not depend on traffic volume.

Additional revenues of the concession are generated from the execution of additional works, work we perform as a result of catastrophic events and emergency maintenance. These revenues are billed when approval is received from the grantor and/or the regulator of the work in progress. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the additional revenues amounted to US$0.33 million (S/1.1 million), US$1.8 million (S/6.0 million) and US$1.1 million (S/3.7 million), respectively.

Additional Toll Road Projects

We continuously evaluate infrastructure projects and strategically present public-private partnership proposals and participate in bidding processes for road concessions. In 2012 we were awarded, and in 2013 we signed the contract for, a 40-year concession for the 4.6 km Vía Expresa Sur, one of the main roads in Lima, which crosses the city from north to south. The road is intended to connect downtown Lima to Panamericana Sur, a highway that runs from Ecuador to Chile. Our estimate of the total investment under the concession, as submitted in our bid, was approximately US$200 million (S/.672 million). Such investment is intended to be made during the construction phase, which was originally to be completed in 2018. Our revenue would derive from the collection of a toll fee upon completion of the construction. The concession was expected to generate a minimum annual revenue of US$18 million (S/.60.5 million) during the first two years of the concession term, US$19.6 million (S/.65.9 million) for the third year. If in a particular year, our annual revenue would be lower than the minimum guaranteed, the government would compensate us for the difference, up to an amount not to exceed US$10 million (S/.33.6 million). The beginning of the construction phase remains subject to expropriation by the government of the land necessary for the construction of the road.

In June of 2017, we signed Initial and Additional Acts of Suspension of the Concession with the Municipality of Lima to freeze the responsibilities of the government, on the one hand, and the concessionaire, on the other hand, with respect to the concession. The concessionaire continues to act as custodian of certain assets of which it had taken possession and continues to maintain certain performance guaranties in connection with the concession. The government and the concessionaire had agreed to meet and coordinate aspects of the project, with the goal of resuming operations. However, we received a letter from the Municipality of Lima in which the Municipality communicated its desire to cease discussions to relaunch the project. We cannot assure you that this concession contract will be resumed.

Mass Transit

In 2011, we were awarded a 30-year concession for the operation of Line One of the Lima Metro, Peru’s only urban railway system. The concession was awarded to our subsidiary GyM Ferrovías, in which we hold a 75% ownership interest, with the other 25% being held by Ferrovías S.A.C. Our obligations under the contract include:

Table of Contents

(i) the operation and maintenance of the five trains provided by the government; (ii) the acquisition of 19 new trains on behalf of the Peruvian government, which will be the legal owner of such trains; (iii) the operation and maintenance of the 19 new trains (24 trains in the aggregate); and (iv) the design and construction of the railway maintenance and repair yard, which was built by our E&C segment. The construction of the second stretch of Line One was completed in July 2014, and started operations on July 25, 2014.

We entered into the fourth addendum to the Lima Metro concession contract on July 11, 2016, in order to expand the transportation capacity of Line One. In accordance with the fourth addendum, the expansion project involves: (i) the purchase of 20 new trains with five-car from Alstom; (ii) the purchase of 39 new cars from Alstom, to be coupled with the 19 existing Alstom trains and the 20 new Alstom trains, resulting in a consolidated fleet of 39 Alstom trains with a six-car configuration; and (iii) the expansion and improvement of the existing infrastructure, including revamping and improvement of five stations, improvements in the electrical systems, a new access route to the maintenance workshop and new switches on the main track. The construction of the expansion of the infrastructure was carried out by our E&C segment and completed by the end of 2018, with the additional trains and rail cars delivered by the end of 2019.

As compensation for the investments of the expansion project, we are entitled to receive from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, an advance payment of 30% of each investment component as well as the balance of 70% of each investment component compensated through an annual payment for complementary investments (pago annual por inversiones complementarias), which represents the unconditional and irrevocable right to receive a series of 56 quarterly payments from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication. In 2016 we received the advance payment of the trains and cars, and in the third quarter of 2017 we received the advance payment corresponding to the infrastructure expansion.

LOGO

As of December 31, 2019, GyM Ferrovías had spent a total of S/18.2 million (US$5.5 million) in capital expenditures in connection with the Lima Metro.

Our revenue from this concession consists of a quarterly fee that we receive from the Ministry of Transport and Communications based on the kilometers travelled per train and adjusted for inflation, with the fee per kilometer, the number of trains required to be in operation and the number of kilometers that we are required to travel established by the terms of the concession. Our revenues do not depend on passenger traffic volume.

As of December 31, 2019, we operated 44 trains (including four backup trains), which we expect to enable us to travel 4,811,779.65 kilometers per year. The average frequency of the trains is 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the schedule and the fee per kilometer traveled is, for our original 24 trains, S/81.43, and for our 20 newer trains, S/53.19.

Water Treatment

In 2010, we were awarded a 25-year concession for the construction, operation and maintenance of La Chira waste water treatment plant in the south of Lima. The project is aimed at addressing Lima’s environmental problems caused by sewage discharged directly into the sea. We hold a 50% share in this concession and our partner Acciona Agua holds the remaining 50%. The plant began operations in June 2016.

Table of Contents

La Chira’s total investment in the concession was S/250 million (US$74.4 million). La Chira is entitled to collect (i) an annual payment for the investment made in the construction of the project for an amount of S/24.2 million (approximately US$7.1 million), and (ii) and annual payment for the operation and maintenance of the project for an amount of S/6.8 million. These fees are paid by Sedapal S.A., the public utility company responsible for the supervision of the water service in Lima, for a period of 25 years. We funded our construction costs related to La Chira through the sale of government certificates to financial institutions, and, as a result, will not receive future cash flows from item (i). See “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations—Infrastructure.” A joint operation in which our E&C segment participates is undertaking the construction of the waste water treatment plant.

Energy

We currently operate three energy businesses within our Infrastructure segment: Exploration and Production; Natural Gas; and Transport and Distribution. We operate and extract oil from four onshore fields (Block I, Block III, Block IV and Block V) located in the provinces of Talara and Paita in northern Peru. We have two long-term hydrocarbon extraction service contracts with Perupetro, the Peruvian entity responsible for the administration and supervision of all exploration and production contracts in Peru, under which we operate two oil producing fields, Blocks I and V. In addition, we have two long-term license contracts with Perupetro, a state-owned oil and gas company, for two other blocks, Block III and IV, which started operations in April 2015; oil production from these blocks is sold to Petroperú. During 2019, the oil production of our four blocks was approximately 3,654 bbl per day. We also own and operate a natural gas processing plant located in northern Peru, which processes and fractions natural gas liquids and delivers dry gas to a gas-fired power generation company under a long-term processing and fractionation agreement. In addition, we are a 50% partner in Terminales del Perú, a consortium which has a contract with Petroperú to operate and maintain five fuel storage terminals until 2034.

In addition, we are a 50% partner in Oil Tanking Andina Services S.A.C. (“OTAS”). This subsidiary operates a fuel terminal named Terminal Marino Pisco Camisea under a contract subscribed with Pluspetrol to operate an export terminal for gasoline, diesel, propane and butane. Additionally, through OTAS, we are also a 25% partner in Logística Químicos del Sur S.A. (“LQS”), which operates the Terminal de Químicos de Matarani and which dispatched 53,656 tonnes of sodium hydrosulfide for international mining companies in 2018.

Oil and Gas Production

We operate and extract oil from four mature fields (Blocks I, III, IV and V) located in the provinces of Talara and Paita in northern Peru. Two of these fields, Blocks I and V, are operated under long-term service contracts under which we provide hydrocarbon extraction services to Perupetro. Hydrocarbons extracted from these two blocks belong to Perupetro, which in turn pays us, once a month, a variable fee per barrel of extracted hydrocarbons. This extraction fee is based on a basket of international crude prices and the level of production. The other two fields, Blocks III and IV, are operated under long-term license contracts with Perupetro. The hydrocarbons extracted are owned by our subsidiary GMP, which in turn pays royalties, on a fortnightly basis, to Perupetro, based on the average prices of three international crude oil prices: Fortis, Suez Blend and Oman Blend crudes. Our activities are focused on proved reserves development and production and are conducted in mature oil fields, which have been producing oil for over 100 years in the case of Block I, over 95 years in the case of Block III, over 95 years in the case of Block IV, and over 50 years in the case of Block V. We believe our activities in these fields bear limited exploration risk.

The following table shows selected information about our fields.

Block I:

We operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block I under a 20-year hydrocarbon extraction service contract with Perupetro, which was extended for an additional 10-year term and expires in December 2021. Average daily production during 2019 was 647 barrels of crude oil. We operate 219 wells using various oil extraction systems and operate a network of production batteries and pipelines to collect, measure and deliver oil in fiscalization point close to the Talara refinery. The field is located in the province of Talara, department of Piura, in northern Peru, approximately five miles from the Talara refinery, the second largest refinery in the country. Block I is the oldest oil producing field in Peru and has been producing oil since around 1890.

Block III:

We operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block III under a 30-year license agreement with Perupetro, which expires in April 2045. Average daily production during 2019 was 724 barrels of crude oil. We operate 166 wells using various oil extraction systems and operate a network of production batteries and pipelines to collect, measure and deliver oil in a fiscalization point close to the Talara refinery, which purchases the oil according to a contract based on an average price of three international crude oil prices: Fortis Blend, Suez Blend and Oman crudes, as adjusted by certain factors. The field is located between the provinces of Talara and Paita, department of Piura, in northern Peru, approximately 21 miles from the Talara refinery.

Block IV:

We operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block IV under a 30-year license agreement with Perupetro, which expires in April 2045. Average daily production during 2019 was 2,594 barrels of crude oil. We operate 319 wells using various oil extraction systems and operate a network of production batteries and two pipelines to collect, measure and deliver oil in a fiscalization point close to the Talara refinery, which purchases the oil according to a contract based on an average price of three international crude oil prices: Fortis Blend, Suez Blend and Oman crudes, adjusted for costs related to hydrocarbon transportation. The field is located in the province of Talara, department of Piura, in northern Peru, approximately 21 miles from the Talara refinery.

Block V:

We operate and extract oil and natural gas from Block V under a 20-year hydrocarbon extraction service contract with Perupetro, which was extended for an additional 10-year term and expires in October 2023. Average daily production during 2019 in this field was 105 barrels of crude oil. We operate 40 wells in this field using various oil extraction systems. The Block V field is located in the province of Los Órganos, department of Piura, Peru, close to the border with Ecuador. Block V has been producing oil since the 1950s.

The map below shows the geographic location of our oil producing blocks in northern Peru.

 

LOGO

For Block I and Block V, we are entitled to a variable fee paid by Perupetro, which is based on the level of production of each field and a price formula that is based on an average price of three international crude oil prices: Fortis blend, Suez blend and Oman crudes, and a discount over this price of approximately of 72% per barrel. For Block III and Block IV, we pay royalties to Perupetro based on an average price of three international crude oil prices: Fortis blend, Suez blend and Oman crudes. The royalties paid to Perupetro were US$18.79 per barrel during 2017, US$23.17 per barrel during 2018 and US$21.13 per barrel during 2019.

During 2017, 2018 and 2019, we received an average revenue (for all blocks) of US$49.19, US$52.38 and US$53.90, respectively, per barrel of extracted oil, which was equivalent to approximately 91.84%, 73.72% and 86.11%, respectively, of average Brent crude oil prices in the same years. We are not committed to provide a fixed volume of oil or natural gas under our four contracts.

Table of Contents

We produce natural gas as a byproduct of the production of crude oil (an average of 4.8 MMcf per day during 2019). In Block I, we provide natural gas to ENEL (formerly EEPSA) under a “take or pay” contract (an average of 3 MMcf per day during 2019), and we pay to Perupetro a fee which varies depending on market conditions. The additional volume of natural gas extracted is sent to our Pariñas plant to be processed and commercialized as liquid natural gas. In Block V, we reinject the natural gas produced back into the wells. In Block III, we use part of the produced gas as fuel to operate wells equipment (pumping units) and we are looking for a market to sell the excess. In Block IV, we also use a certain volume of gas as fuel, and the residual volume since November 2019 is also sent to our Pariñas plant to be processed and commercialized as liquid natural gas. Our revenues for the sale of natural gas are not material relative to our oil production revenues.

Estimated Proved Reserves:

The following table sets forth estimated proved crude oil and natural gas reserves in Blocks I, III, IV and V as of December 31, 2019. We have only included estimates of proved and have not included any estimates of probable and possible reserves.

Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, we employed methodologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The methodologies and economic data used in the estimation of the proved reserves in the fields include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available down hole and production data, seismic data, and well test data.

Table of Contents

Reserve amounts were based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month Brent crude price for each month in the period January through December 2019, which, pursuant to our contractual agreements, resulted in average oil and gas prices of US$63.11 per barrel and US$4.29 MMcf, respectively, that for the purpose of reserve amount estimation were assumed to remain constant.

Proved undeveloped reserves in the fields as of December 31, 2019 were 20,579 Mboe, consisting of 18,341 MBbl of crude oil and 2,238 Mboe (12,589 MMcf) of natural gas. We estimate that during 2019: proved undeveloped reserves increased by 549 Mboe of crude oil; approximately 759 Mboe of proved undeveloped reserves of crude oil were converted into proved developed reserves; and natural gas reserves decreased 209 Mboe (1,177 MMcf). Capital expenditures made during 2019, for both drilling activities and workovers, to convert undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves, amounted to approximately US$24.4 million (S/80.9 million).

The principal changes in proved undeveloped reserves during 2019 were:

 

   

Crude oil reserves: proved undeveloped crude oil reserves increased 759 Mbbl during 2019, as follows:

 

   

an increase of 1,023 MBbl due to a drilling campaign in Block IV;

 

   

a decrease of 264 MBbl due to a revision of type curve in Block III; and

 

   

Associated natural gas reserves increased 209 Mboe (1,177 MMcf) during 2019 due to the adjustment of the oil-gas ratio (GOR).

For changes in proved developed and undeveloped reserves from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019, see supplementary data (unaudited) annexed to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Hydrocarbons extracted from Blocks I and V belong to Perupetro, which in turns pays us a per barrel fee for extracted hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons extracted from Blocks III and IV belong to GMP, which in turn pays a royalty to Perupetro for the amount of extracted hydrocarbons.

(2)

Crude oil sales volume differs from total production volume due to operational circumstances such as the inventory of product stored in our field batteries at the end of each monthly measurement. “Average sales prices” refers to the fees received in consideration for our extraction services, which do not equal the sales prices of crude oil. Average sales prices have been calculated using a basket price formula according to the service and license contracts of each block. Such formulation is at a discount to global oil prices for Blocks I and V, and for Blocks III and IV we pay royalties on the oil extracted. Per unit costs have been calculated using sales volumes.

During 2017, 2018 and 2019 we invested US$16.5 million (S/53.6 million), US$20.2 (S/68.4) and US$23.8 million (S/78.95 million), respectively, in drilling activities. During 2019, we drilled a total of 33 wells in Block IV (all of them are productive wells)

Under the terms of our agreements with Perupetro, at the time the contract terminates, we are required to close non-producing wells that we have drilled. As of December 31, 2019, we estimated that we will be required to close 62 wells in Block I in December 2021 and 6 wells in Block V in October 2023, 40 wells in Block III and 50 wells in Block IV in December 2045. We have created a provision in our financial statements for the costs relating to those well closings. See note 5.1(d) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Gas Processing Plant

We own a gas processing plant located 7 km north of the city of Talara in Piura, Peru. We currently have under a long-term delivery and gas processing and fractioning contract with Enel Generación Piura (formerly known as EEPSA), according to which Enel Generación Piura delivers wet natural gas that it purchases from onshore and offshore gas operators in the area. We then process and fraction the gas into two products: (i) dry natural gas, which can be used as fuel in Enel Generación Piura’s gas-fired turbine; and (ii) natural gas liquids, which are sold in the Peruvian market. Under the terms of the agreement, we are responsible for all operating costs of the gas processing plant but are also entitled to keep revenues from the sale of the natural gas liquids to third parties after payment of a variable royalty, based on the volume of gas processed, to Enel Generación Piura. Our current gas processing and fractionation contract with Enel Generación Piura expires in 2023.

Our gas processing plant has the capacity to process up to 44 MMcf per day. We processed 30.57 MMcf per day during 2017, 30.12 MMcf per day during 2018 and 30.52 MMcf per day during 2019. Approximately 91% of the volume processed by our gas processing plant depends on the gas volumes provided by Enel Generación Piura for processing and use on its gas-fired turbines. These volumes vary per month and depend upon the power dispatch curve of Enel Generación Piura among Peruvian power generation plants. In rainy months (December to April) where hydroelectric power generation in Peru is typically higher, gas volumes demanded by Enel Generación Piura are lower than in dryer months (May to November) in which activity of thermal generators tends to be higher. Approximately 6% of the volume processed by our gas processing plant depends on the volumes of gas extracted by GMP in Block I, approximately 7% depends on the volumes of gas extracted by GMP in Block IV and approximately 1% depends on the volumes of gas provided by CNPC, which we process and commercialize as liquid natural gas.

Fuel Storage Terminals

We are a 50% partner in Consorcio Terminales with a Peruvian affiliate of Oiltanking GmbH, one of the world’s largest operators of independent terminals for bulk liquid storage. Consorcio Terminales was first awarded a concession for the operation of the South Fuel Terminal in 1997. In June 2014, Terminales del Perú, a new consortium that included our subsidiary GMP and Oiltanking Peru, was awarded a concession for the operation of the North and Central Fuel Terminals for Petroperú. The contracts have 20-year terms and consist of the operation of four terminals in the north and one terminal in the center of the country, providing storage and dispatching bulk liquid fuel. The total amount of the committed investment for both projects is approximately US$37.2 million (S/125 million), while the total amount of the additional investment, which is expected to be reimbursed to the company, is approximately US$186 million (S/625 million). In November 2018, Petroperú initiated a public bidding for the operation of the South Fuel Terminal, which was cancelled by Petroperú in May 2019. There was no winner in the public bidding for the operation of the South Fuel Terminal, and the contract of Consorcio Terminales was extended through contract amendments, the latest of which terminated on November 2, 2019, and the concession reverted to Petroperú.

Our open-access terminals offer our customers dependable and critical handling and storage services for refined petroleum liquid products, maintaining high quality, safety and environmental standards. We provide storage, handling and loading and uploading services for a broad range of refined petroleum liquid products, including gasoline, aircraft fuel, diesel and heavy fuel oil. We deliver the liquids into two types of transportation systems, railroad cars and cistern trucks. Because of the strategic location of our assets, our deep-water access, inland terminals and our aggregate storage capacity of 2.5 MMbbl in the North and Central Terminals, we believe that we are well-positioned to cover the needs of our clients, the two principal refineries in Peru. The map below shows the location of each of our fuel storage terminals in Peru.

Under the contracts, Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú received revenues paid in connection with monthly reserved volume in tanks for refined crude products (storage fee) and for volumes loaded and delivered into railroad cars or cistern trucks to each terminal (throughput fee). The storage fee per barrel, is based upon reserved volumes whether they are received or not. The throughput fee is paid based on effective barrels delivered per month. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú generated revenues of US$78.84 million (S/255.8 million), US$82.5 (S/278.9 million) and US$79.7 million (S/264.3 million) (we are entitled to 50% of the joint operation revenues), respectively. Under the contracts, Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú are responsible for paying the fuel terminals operating and maintenance costs and also paying a royalty fee to Petroperú based on effective barrels delivered each month.

At the current stage of the contracts, any capital expenditure we invest in the fuel storage terminals can be recouped from any present and future royalties we owe to Petroperú.

Other Terminal Operations

We are a 50% partner in Oiltanking Andina Services S.A.C. (“OTAS”). This subsidiary operates a fuel terminal named “Terminal Marino Pisco Camisea” under a contract subscribed with Pluspetrol to operate an export terminal for gasoline, diesel, propane and butane. In 2019, this terminal dispatched 24.3 million barrels and received 1.3 million barrels of natural gas liquids. Additionally, through OTAS, we are also a 25% partner in LQS, which operates the “Terminal de Químicos de Matarani,” which dispatched 58,639 tonnes of sodium hydrosulfide for international mining companies in 2019. During 2017, 2018 and 2019 these activities generated revenues in the aggregate of approximately US$6.6 million (S/21.4 million), US$6.6 million (S/22.3 million) and US$6.9 million (S/22.9 million), respectively.

Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets

We began providing our operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets services in 1994 when we were awarded the concession for the Arequipa Matarani highway in southern Peru. With this experience, in 2003, we began providing operation and maintenance services to Norvial. In 2007, the Peruvian government initiated Proyecto Peru, a program aimed at maintaining roads not under concession to ensure their longevity. Proyecto Peru allowed us to develop new business opportunities providing maintenance services to more than 4,000 km of public roads in Peru. We believe the experience we have gained operating highway and transportation concessions positioned our company to capitalize on the Peruvian government’s initiatives to increase infrastructure development.

Our revenue in the operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets is generated either from fees we charge to Norvial, Survial, Canchaque, Pasco, Chinchaypujio, Chuquibambilla, Cora and the Lima Metro to operate and maintain our concessions or from government payments through maintenance service contracts we have been awarded. As depicted in the chart below, we operate and maintain 2,247.20 km of Peruvian roads and highways, including our own highway concessions, in addition to the Lima Metro.

The below map illustrates the roads in Peru for which we currently provide operation and maintenance services.

 

LOGO

We provide the following road operation and maintenance services:

 

   

Routine Maintenance. These services aim to preserve roads through ongoing maintenance, including: road demarcation; cleaning; drainage; road fissure treatment, which seals cracks in roads to prevent water infiltration; slurry sealing; and micro-paving, which seals asphalt to prevent aging and improve resistance to water and surface wear.

 

   

Periodic Maintenance. These services entail activities that are performed periodically, intended to prevent the occurrence or exacerbation of defects, conserve the structural integrity of roads and correct major defects.

 

   

Emergency maintenance. This maintenance work is performed whenever the need arises, such as when natural disasters damage road surfaces.

We also administer toll stations and weighing stations; offer road patrolling services; operate assistance call centers; and provide emergency medical services.

The operation and maintenance services we provide to the Lima Metro aim to preserve the mass transit system through ongoing maintenance, including cleaning of the trains and stations and providing train operators, among other services.

With respect to operation and maintenance contracts with the Peruvian government, we obtain new contracts through public bidding. With respect to contracts with our Infrastructure segment, we participate in direct negotiation. Contract length typically ranges from three to five years.

Competition

Our ability to grow through successful bids for new infrastructure concessions or other long-term contracts could be affected as a result of competition. We view our competition as including both Peruvian and international infrastructure concession operators including joint operations with partners with specialized expertise in the relevant sector. Competition varies on a case-by-case basis, depending on the main purpose of the concession.

Real Estate

Our Real Estate segment is one of the largest apartment building developers in Peru, in terms of number of units sold and value of sales in 2019, and is focused on the development and sale of affordable housing and housing as well as other real estate projects. Since commencing our operations in 1987, we have developed approximately 1,262,850 m2 of affordable housing (approximately 19,998 units); approximately 392,598 m2 of housing (approximately 1,888 units); approximately 170,416 m2 of office space (approximately 903 offices); and approximately 43,000 m2 of shopping centers (three shopping centers). Moreover, we are currently building approximately 104,953 m2 of affordable housing (approximately 1,713 units) and approximately 12,317 m2 of housing (approximately 146 units). Our Real Estate segment also owns land parcels in Lima, comprising approximately 55 hectares as of December 31, 2019, and we have sold undeveloped land in the past and intend to continue such sales in the future.

We undertake a significant amount of the activities in our Real Estate segment with partners through financing and commercial arrangements we use to purchase land and to develop real estate projects. See “—Financing.” See also “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Results of Operations—General—Real Estate.” As a result, a significant amount of our net profit in the Real Estate segment is attributable to the non-controlling interest of our partners.

Principal Real Estate Activities

Our real estate developments include the following products:

 

   

affordable housing;

 

   

housing; and

 

   

commercial real estate.

We began developing affordable housing projects in 2001, following the Peruvian government’s efforts to address the country’s housing deficit, particularly for low-income families. We launched the first major affordable housing project in Peru in 2007; Parque Agustino, in Lima’s El Agustino neighborhood. Since 2001, we have completed 18 affordable housing projects. As of December 31, 2019, we are in the process of developing three affordable housing projects, including construction, presales and procuring required authorizations and permits. These projects consist of expansions of projects previously completed by us. Affordable housing consists of apartments,

usually ranging between 50 and 72 m2 in size, that are purchased using government-sponsored support programs. The Peruvian government has adopted the Nuevo Crédito MiVivienda and Techo Propio programs, among others, which promote access to affordable housing in Peru by providing government subsidies to individuals for the purchase of homes. In order for a unit to qualify for the Nuevo Crédito MiVivienda program, its selling price must range between S/58,800 and S/310,800. In order for a unit to qualify for the Techo Propio new housing purchase program, its selling price must be less than S/84,100 for a single family home or less than S/105,000 for a multi-family dwelling.

In order to be eligible for an affordable housing subsidy under the Nuevo Crédito MiVivienda program, a purchaser must not own any other home or have benefitted from a housing subsidy program in the past, among other requirements. A purchaser must also provide a down payment between 10% and 30% of the total purchase amount. Housing subsidies under this program fluctuate between S/6,400 and S/17,700 which incentivize purchasers with reduced monthly rates so long as they pay their mortgage loan payments on a timely basis. In order to be eligible for an affordable housing subsidy under the Techo Propio program, a purchaser must have a monthly income that does not exceed approximately S/3,538 and must not have received any other government-sponsored housing benefit in the past, among other requirements. A Techo Propio purchaser must also show proven savings equal to at least 5% of the total purchase amount. Housing subsidies under this program is S/34,4000. Purchasers of subsidized housing under both programs are also not required to pay a value-added tax normally applicable to residential purchases.

We develop substantially all of our affordable housing projects on land purchased from the private sector. To the extent these projects meet the requirements of a particular government subsidy program, purchasers can purchase units with government subsidies. Some of our affordable housing projects, however, such as Parque Agustino, are developed through government bidding processes. Government subsidy programs like Nuevo Crédito MiVivienda and Techo Propio have driven the demand for affordable housing in Peru, which has in turn increased our sales of affordable housing units.

Our housing developments consist of residential buildings comprised of apartments with a mid- to high-price range that do not qualify for government subsidies. Since 1987, we have developed 38 housing developments. As of December 31, 2019, we are developing four housing projects, one of which is in the construction stage, with the other three in the process of obtaining required approvals and permits. Our housing units typically range between 130 and 400 m2 in size.

Substantially all of our affordable housing and housing development projects are located in Lima. We have also purchased land to develop four affordable housing projects in Piura, Chimbote and Huancayo, two cities north of Lima and one in the center of the country. We intend to develop affordable housing projects in other cities outside of Lima.

The table below sets forth number of units sold and not yet delivered and number of units delivered, as well as the value of units sold and our sales revenue for the periods indicated.

We develop and sell office and commercial buildings, such as shopping centers. On certain occasions, we have operated our commercial real estate and later sold it, such as Larcomar, a landmark shopping center which we built in 1998 and sold in 2010. We have also developed commercial real estate buildings in connection with our affordable housing and housing projects, such as the Parque Agustino shopping center. Since 1987, we have developed 16 office buildings, three shopping centers and one medical center.

Land Bank

We typically purchase land to develop real estate projects with the intention to begin construction within a 12- to 18-month period after the purchase of the land. We may also, from time to time, purchase land for subsequent resale. As of December 31, 2019, we owned approximately 95.5 hectares, of which 81.5% is located in Lima and 18.5% outside of Lima. We continually evaluate opportunities to purchase new land for our real estate development projects.

On February 24, 2017, we sold our interest in Project Espacio (formerly known as Cuartel San Martín) to Urbi Propiedades S.A., our partner in the project, for US$50 million (S/168 million). On April 28, 2017, we also sold our interest (approximately 20.8%) in Promoción Inmobiliaria del Sur S.A. (“PRINSUR”) of Inversiones Centenario, which owns approximately 937.7 hectares of undeveloped land also located in Lurín, to our partner Inversiones Centenario S.A.A. for US$25 million (S/84 million). For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospect— Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020)—Asset Sales.”

We have a 50.45% interest in Almonte, which owned approximately 77.8 hectares as of December 31, 2019 of undeveloped land in Lurín, located 30 km south of Lima. We previously sold 27 hectares of the land for industrial use. On May 31, 2018, Almonte signed a purchase agreement with PRINSUR for the sale of 420.9 hectares of land by Almonte to PRINSUR for an aggregate amount of US$92.7 million, the final installment of which was paid in February 2020 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

Financing

We generally fund land purchases for our housing and commercial real estate projects through cash from our operations. For our affordable housing projects, we generally partner with real estate investment funds and insurance companies that provide between 60% and 70% of the total capital required to purchase the land and cover certain pre-construction costs in exchange for equity in the project. Once we acquire land for a particular real estate development project, we obtain working capital through a credit line from a financial institution, which we utilize to finance additional project needs as they arise. We also obtain financing through pre-construction sales for our affordable housing and housing projects and, to a lesser extent, our commercial real estate projects. Our affordable housing and housing projects generally require less outside financing because they are generally financed with pre-construction sales.

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing

We typically pre-sell our affordable housing and housing units prior to and during construction, and use the related proceeds to finance the construction of the units. Our commercial and sales processes differ depending on the type of development and market segment of the development. We primarily sell our real estate development projects through an internal sales force that is assigned to particular projects and, to a lesser extent, external brokers on a non-exclusive, commission-fee basis. Our marketing efforts primarily consist of newspaper advertisements, radio and television commercials, billboards and promotional offers for referrals. We also advertise our real estate projects on our website.

We believe our brand is associated with product quality, professional operations and reliable post-sale customer service. We provide customer service call centers through which residents can report complaints or defects. Engineers respond with site visits, and repairs are made as long as the property continues to be covered by the applicable warranty or guarantee.

For our affordable housing projects, we provide post-sale customer service through our Ayni program, which aims to preserve the long-term value of our affordable housing developments by promoting a cooperative community life. Through this program, we distribute manuals that teach best practices for living in communities, offer leadership workshops, budget workshops, promote small business development, facilitate conflict resolution and provide other services. These services are provided for a six- to eight-month period following project delivery. In 2012, we initiated the Ayni contest for residents of our affordable housing projects with the aim of stimulating the sustainability of their community. Participants present an enhancement project for their community, such as a recreation center, and a jury selects the best project, which we fund and construct.

Competition

The Peruvian real estate development industry is highly competitive. The market is fragmented and no single company has a significant share of the national market. The principal competitors for our Real Estate segment are Paz Centenario Global S.A., Paz Centenario Inmobiliaria, Corporación Líder Perú S.A., Urbana Perú, Los Portales, Imagina Grupo Inmobiliario, ENACORP, Besco S.A. and Gerpal. In the coming years, we expect more competition from domestic and foreign real estate development companies who recognize the growth potential in the Peruvian residential market. The main factors that drive competition are product design and amenities, price, location and post-sale service offerings.

Backlog

We define our backlog as the U.S. dollar equivalent value of revenue we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work under multi-period contracts that we have entered into. Backlog is not a measure defined by IFRS, and our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog. For contracts denominated in soles or other local currencies, amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate published by the SBS, in the case of Peru, or other relevant authority, in the case of other jurisdictions, on December 31 of the corresponding year.

We do not include backlog in this annual report in our Infrastructure segment for: (i) our Norvial toll road concession because its revenues from the concession are derived from toll fees charged to vehicles using the highway, and, as a result, such revenues are dependent on vehicular traffic levels; and (ii) our Energy line of business because: (a) its revenues from hydrocarbon extraction services are dependent on the amounts of oil and gas we produce and market prices, which fluctuate significantly; (b) our revenues from our gas processing plant are dependent on the amount of gas we process and market prices for natural gas liquids, which fluctuate significantly; and (c) our revenues from our fuel storage terminal operation partially depend on the volume of fuel dispatched.

When we present backlog on a segment basis, we do not include eliminations that are included in our consolidated backlog. For a description of how we calculate our backlog, see our segment backlog presented below. We have revised prior backlog data included in this annual report to exclude the presentation of entities that are presented as discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

Our consolidated backlog as of December 31, 2019 was US$1,396.4 million. We expect to recognize as revenues 71.3% of our backlog by December 31, 2020, 18.7% by December 31, 2021 and 10.0% thereafter. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus, which have significantly increased economic uncertainty, may continue to impact our ability to perform our backlog in the short term. As conditions are recent, uncertain and changing rapidly, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our backlog in the short term. The following table sets forth our consolidated backlog from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

In the third quarter of 2015, we acquired a 29% participation in the construction consortium of the GSP gas pipeline project, and, as a result, we incorporated US$1.0 billion in backlog. Due to the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession on January 24, 2017, we have removed US$855 million from the backlog, representing 33.8% of our total backlog as of December 31, 2016.

Our backlog slightly increased in 2019, but may decline in the future, including due to the potential sale of assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue obtaining sufficient contracts in the future in number and magnitude to grow our backlog. Additionally, the number and amounts of new contracts signed can fluctuate significantly from period to period. For example, the third quarter of 2015, we acquired a 29% participation in the construction consortium of the GSP gas pipeline project, and, as a result, we incorporated US$1.0 billion in backlog. Due to the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession on January 24, 2017, we have removed US$855 million from the backlog, representing 42.5% of our E&C backlog and 33.8% of our total backlog as of December 31, 2016. During 2017 we also removed US$87.5 million from our backlog related to the Chavimochic project. During 2018, we removed from our presentation of backlog CAM, CAM Servicios and Stracon GyM, which we account for as discontinued operations, and Adexus, which we account for as an investment held for sale. For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017 -2020)—Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession.”

E & C Backlog

To include an engineering and construction contract in our backlog, we assume that each party will satisfy all of its respective obligations under the contract. We also make assumptions, in agreement with the client, regarding the total expected contract price in the case of unit price and cost-plus fee contracts and the amount of the contract that will be completed in each year. We adjust our backlog periodically to account for developments related to each project. For projects related to joint operations or equity investments, we only include our percentage ownership of the joint operation’s or equity investment’s backlog. Our E&C segment backlog does not include intersegment eliminations.

Our E&C backlog as of December 31, 2019 was US$910.1 million. We expect to recognize as revenues 85.9% of such backlog by December 31, 2020 and 14.1% of such backlog thereafter. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus, which have significantly increased economic uncertainty, may continue to impact our ability to perform our E&C backlog in the short term. As conditions are recent, uncertain and changing rapidly, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our backlog in the short term.

Infrastructure Backlog

In reflecting an Infrastructure contract in our backlog, we assume that each party will satisfy all of its respective obligations under the contract. For our Infrastructure backlog, we only include contracted revenues expected to be paid during the next three years following the backlog calculation date. Infrastructure backlog in this annual report does not include our Norvial toll road concession or our Energy line of business.

Table of Contents

Our Infrastructure segment backlog does not include intersegment eliminations. We calculate our Infrastructure backlog as follows:

 

   

for the Lima Metro, our Infrastructure backlog assumes that for 2020, 2021 and 2022, we will operate 44 trains at full operation, which in the aggregate will travel 4.8 million kilometers per year;

 

   

for our Survial and Canchaque concessions, we assume our contractually agreed upon annual fee, adjusted for inflation. For our 2017, 2018 and 2019 backlog, we utilize the same adjustment amount that was utilized for our 2016 fee, which has already been negotiated; and

 

   

for La Chira, for our 2017, 2018 and 2019, backlog is calculated to include the fees we will receive under the concession for our operation and maintenance, adjusted for inflation.

Our Infrastructure backlog as of December 31, 2019 was US$553.9 million. We expect to recognize as revenues 35.1% of our backlog by December 31, 2020 and 64.9% of our backlog thereafter. The following chart sets forth the growth of our Infrastructure backlog from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

Real Estate Backlog

Our Real Estate segment backlog reflects sales contracts with buyers for units that have not yet been delivered and will be recognized as revenues once they are delivered.

Our Real Estate segment backlog as of December 31, 2019 was US$63.3 million. We expect to recognize as revenues 100% of our backlog by December 31, 2020, and none thereafter. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus, which have significantly increased economic uncertainty, may continue to impact our ability to perform our Real Estate backlog in the short term. As conditions are recent, uncertain and changing rapidly, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our backlog in the short term.

Warranties

For certain of our contracts, we are required to provide performance bonds to ensure compliance with contractual obligations such as construction works, operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets, among others. The amount of the performance bond varies on a case-by-case basis, depending on the value of the project. Performance bonds are usually renewed annually until the contractual obligation which they intend to guarantee is fully satisfied.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We are committed to the sustainable development of our operations. We seek to create long-term value and conduct business in a manner that is not only economically viable, but also beneficial to greater society and environmentally responsible.

Our Sustainability Policy was approved by our board of directors on January 28, 2016, and its guidelines allow us to focus on seven managerial priorities linked to our stakeholders: ethical conduct, development of people, operational excellence, health and safety, the environment, communication and dialogue and sharing wellbeing.

The focuses of our social investment projects include education and capacity building to foster job creation and the promotion of responsible citizen behavior, particularly among our users, suppliers and neighboring communities.

The following are key programs we perform for the benefit of society:

 

   

Metro Culture: We conduct workshops that transform trains and train stations into centers of social and cultural education to promote respect and tolerance. In 2019, we carried out 51 artistic presentations and incorporated approximately 32,000 people in health campaigns.

 

   

Road Safety Education: This program promotes our culture of safety and accident prevention by training communities surrounding roads and highways that we operate or maintain. In 2019, we provided 146 training courses, involving approximately 5,850 employees and 5,450 members of the public.

 

   

Ayni: This social support program aims to improve the quality of life in urban areas by promoting respectful coexistence among new owners of our real estate projects. The initiative trains neighbors on several legal and managerial matters and on conflict management and leadership. In 2019, the program trained approximately 700 people.

 

   

Development of local suppliers: We build the capacities of our local suppliers and help them to develop their businesses by improving the quality of the goods and services they provide and encouraging the adoption of formal and responsible managerial styles. In this way, we make local economies more dynamic.

 

   

Labor Capabilities: This is a recruitment program where we share construction knowledge and train community members on building techniques, risk prevention and leadership skills. In this way, we increase the employability of members of local communities, generate formal jobs, reduce project risks, develop more efficient recruiting processes, and strengthen the trust with local communities. In 2019, we trained approximately 650 participants, 70% of whom joined the group.

Construction Activities in Peru

Legal Framework

Peru’s Law for the Promotion of Private Investment in Construction, approved by Legislative Decree No. 727 (Ley de Promoción de la Inversión Privada en Construcción), states that construction activities in Peru are in the public interest and a national priority. According to Section F of the Fourth review of the United Nations International Statistical Industrial Classification (ISIC), construction activities typically consist of the construction of dwellings, buildings and stores; and the construction of large scale infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, tunnels, railways, irrigation systems, sewage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, among others. GyM has developed numerous projects in the construction sector. Currently, our company focuses on buildings (ISIC Division 41), civil works (ISIC Division 42) and specialized activities (ISIC Division 43).

Construction entities must comply with the National Building Regulations, approved by Supreme Decree No. 011-2006-VIVIENDA (Reglamento Nacional de Edificaciones), which establishes that urban allotments and buildings must be developed in compliance with the rules governing safety, functionality, accessibility, habitability and environmental impact. According to Technical Regulation No. G.030 (Rights and Responsibilities) of the National Building Regulations, construction companies, such as GyM and GMI, are responsible for (i) executing works in accordance with project specifications and applicable regulations; (ii) possessing sufficient organization and infrastructure to guarantee the feasibility of the project; (iii) appointing the party responsible for the construction to assume its technical representation; (iv) providing the resources and materials to complete the project pursuant to the terms of the agreement and required standards and within the approved budget; (v) executing subcontracts within contractual limitations; and (vi) delivering to the client documented information regarding the executed works.

Notwithstanding any legal actions that the construction company may take against suppliers, manufacturers or subcontractors, the construction company may be responsible for all the works, including those executed by subcontractors, and for the use of defective materials or supplies.

Penalties for violating the National Building Regulation are determined by the municipal government in the jurisdiction where the project is developed and set forth in its corresponding regulations. In addition, they may also pursue criminal actions or civil claims if applicable.

Safety Regulation in Construction Projects

Safety Regulations Applicable to Subsectors

In addition to the Law on Safety and Health at Work applicable to all our business sectors, our E&C segment must also comply with the regulations set forth below.

Power and Utilities

GyM must comply with the Rules of Safety and Health at Work with Electricity, approved by Ministerial Resolution No. 111-2013-MEM-DM, for its activities relating to the construction of hydroelectric plants, transmission lines and substations. OSINERGMIN is the authority responsible for supervising and enforcing compliance of the foregoing rules. The most relevant of the safety rules with which GyM must comply include: (i) providing employees with necessary information regarding safety measures related to the tasks they perform; (ii) providing employees with adequate safety equipment; and (iii) evaluating and remedying potential sources of danger.

Mining

GyM must comply with the Mining Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, approved by Supreme Decree No. 024-2016-EM, and other related regulations for their mining-related construction activities including the construction of mineral processing plants and other mining-related buildings, among others. In developing mining projects, our subsidiaries’ personnel must follow the safety programs and be familiar with internal rules from their mining sector client. The SUNAFIL and OSINERGMIN are the authorities responsible for supervising and enforcing compliance of the foregoing rules. The most relevant of the safety rules with which GyM must comply include: (i) creating an internal safety and health regulation policy and selecting a manager responsible for its implementation; (ii) monitoring and recording workplace accidents and occupational diseases; (iii) providing information to employees regarding the safety risks related to their work; (iv) providing employees necessary first aid and medical attention in the event of a workplace accident; (v) providing employees the necessary tools, equipment or materials to perform their activities safely; and (vi) evaluating risks in order to establish accident prevention and mitigation plans.

89


Table of Contents

Industrial Construction

GyM must comply with the Industrial Safety Regulation, approved by Supreme Decree No. 42-F (Reglamento de Seguridad Industrial), for its activities relating to the construction of industrial plants. The most relevant of the safety rules with which GyM must comply include: (i) overseeing that worksites are constructed, equipped and managed to provide security and protection to employees; (ii) instructing employees about risks to which they are exposed related to their work and adopting necessary measures to avoid accidents and damage to employee health; and (iii) overseeing inspections to verify the proper installation of safety equipment.

Registries and Permits

Pursuant to Supreme Decree No. 005-2020-TR civil contractors must be registered in the National Registry of Civil Construction Works – (the “RENOCC”), governed by the Administrative Labor Authority. Civil construction work companies register with the RENOCC, which assigns them with a unique registration number with which the company is identified until completion of the relevant project, regardless of the number of contractors and subcontractors that participate in the execution of the work. GyM has registered in the National Civil Construction Contractors and Subcontractor Registry in compliance with the Supreme Decree No. 008-2013-TR.

According to Supreme Decree No. 005-2008-EM mining contractors must register with the National Mining Contractors and Specialized Companies Registry. GyM is currently registered. Proper registration requires the filing of a request with the Regional Agency of Energy and Mines with jurisdiction in the area where the mining activities will take place. In addition, within five days upon commencement of construction, GyM must provide in writing its employees with the following information: (i) the company’s legal name; (ii) the scope of the contract; (iii) the place of execution; (iv) the applicable health and safety regulations; (v) the Safe Work Written Procedures (PETS); and, (vi) risk insurance policies.

Labor Law Requirements in Civil Construction

Labor law requirements in civil construction consist of the specific legal framework for civil construction workers and the general legal framework applicable to the administrative personnel in the civil construction sector set forth in the Single Revised Text of the Labor Productivity and Competitiveness Law, approved by Supreme Decree No. 003-97-TR.

Seasonality of services is one of the main features in the specific legal framework due to the temporary nature of construction contracts. Consequently, certain general rules such as the trial period are not applicable to construction workers.

The principal terms and conditions relating to collective bargaining from our civil construction workers have been agreed upon and recorded in the 2018-2019 agreement, dated September 11, 2018, and entered into between the Peruvian Chamber of Construction and the Federation of Civil Construction Workers (Federación de Trabajadores en Construcción Civil). By means of the 2018-2019 agreement, the parties have, among other things, agreed on an increase in the daily wage of such employees.

Supreme Decree No. 009-97-SA, Law No. 26,790 and Supreme Decree No. 003-98-SA require construction companies to have complementary high-risk insurance for workers that perform high risk tasks. As of the date of this annual report, GyM has this insurance coverage.

The insurance coverage provides medical care for injured workers to allow them to achieve full recovery. Moreover, it provides pensions to workers or their beneficiaries in case the worker becomes handicapped or dies as a result of a work accident or occupational disease.

Environmental Regulations

Section 24 of the General Environmental Law, approved by Law No. 28,611 (the “General Environmental Law”), provides that all human activity that involves construction services, among others, likely to cause significant environmental impact is subject of regulation by the National System of Environmental Impact Assessment. The Peruvian Ministry of the Environment, through the Environmental Supervising and Enforcement Agency (Organismo de Evaluación y Supervisión Ambiental, or “OEFA”) supervises compliance with the law and enforces environmental rules related to mining, oil and gas and electricity.

In addition to being responsible for the impact that its activities, by action or omission, may have on the environment, GyM is also subject to an environmental impact assessment and must obtain an environmental certification necessary to obtain project permits or licenses. GyM must also adopt measures for the management of hazardous materials intrinsic to its activities to mitigate the negative environmental impact its activities may have.

Civil Construction

Supreme Decree No. 015-2012-VIVIENDA (modified by the Supreme Decree No. 019-2014-VIVIENDA and Supreme Decree No. 0082016-VIVIENDA) regulates the environmental aspects of projects related to housing, urbanism, construction and sanitation activities in urban or rural areas. The National Directorate of Housing, Urbanism, Construction and Sanitation supervises the compliance and enforces the applicable rules. Projects are categorized according to their environmental impact during and after their execution and different rules are established for each category including compliance with the following environmental studies prior to starting construction works: (i) projects expected to cause minor environmental impacts require an environmental impact statement; (ii) projects expected to cause moderate environmental impacts require a semi-detailed environmental impact assessment; and (iii) projects expected to cause a major environmental impact require a detailed environmental impact assessment.

Other Subsectors

Depending on the subsector in which it operates, GyM is required to follow specific environmental provisions issued by the competent authorities. For example, with respect to hydrocarbon activities, the Ministry of Energy and Mines has enacted the Oil and Gas Environmental Regulations, by means of Supreme Decree No. 039-2014-EM modified by Supreme Decree No. 023-2018-EM

Tax Legal Regime Applicable to Construction

Section 63 of the Peruvian Income Tax Law, approved by Supreme Decree No. 179-2004-EF, establishes that construction companies engaged in construction contracts for a period longer than one fiscal year can choose to be taxed under any of the following systems:

 

   

allocate to each fiscal year the gross income resulting from applying the percentage of gross margin estimated for the full construction over the amounts collected for the same construction; or

 

   

allocate to each fiscal year the gross income calculated by deducting the costs corresponding to the tasks performed on each construction during that year from the amount collected or that is expected to be collected for such tasks.

In both situations, a special accounting registry must be kept for each project, which is meant to keep a record of the costs, expenses and income of each project in an account separate from the general analytical accounts (cuentas analíticas de gestión).

Until December 31, 2012, construction companies could defer revenues related to each individual project until the total completion of the project, provided the project was completed in three years or less. In such cases, the income was to be recognized in the fiscal year in which the project concluded or was delivered. In case the project was scheduled to conclude in a period exceeding three years, the results would be determined in the third year in accordance with the progress of the works over the three-year period. Beginning in the fourth year, results were determined following the foregoing methods.

Starting on January 1, 2013, in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 1112, which amended the Peruvian Income Tax Law, construction companies that adopted the deferral method are authorized to continue with the use of such method only with respect to income arising from the execution of work contracts initiated prior to January 1, 2013, until their completion, and for execution of work contracts initiated on or after January 1, 2013 the deferral method is no longer accepted.

 

91


Table of Contents

The Peruvian Income Tax Law also provides that the difference that may result from a comparison between the real gross income and the income assessed pursuant to any of the methods described above shall be allocated to the fiscal year in which the work concluded. Additionally, the company must apply the same system to all its construction contracts and must receive prior authorization from tax authorities to change the applied system.

Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism

Regulations for money laundering and terrorism financing prevention, approved by SBS Resolution No. 789-2018 (which has replaced SBS Resolution No. 486-2008 as of March 15, 2018), require construction and real estate companies to implement a money laundering and terrorism financing prevention system, including, among others, the appointment of a compliance officer, setting up a registry of operations and notifying the Financial Intelligence Unit of the SBS, the entity responsible for supervising and enforcing compliance, of any suspicious activity.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure and Public Services through Public Private Partnership Contracts

In recent years, the Peruvian state has implemented a new regulatory framework (Legislative Decree No. 1362 and its regulations, approved by Supreme Decree No. 240-2018) to set forth the procedures and mechanisms for enhancing private investment for the development of public infrastructure, public services, any ancillary services, applied research projects and/or technological innovation, through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and Projects with State Assets.

The main aspects of the new legal framework are the following:

 

  1.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance (Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas) is the governing authority of the National System for the Promotion of Private Investment (SNPIP), composed by ministries and public agencies of the national government, the Agency for the Promotion of Private Investment—ProInversión, and regional and local governments.

 

  2.

Private investment projects will comprise the following stages: (i) planning and programming, (ii) formulation, (iii) structuring, (iv) transaction, and (v) contract execution. Great emphasis is given to the Evaluation Report (Informe de Evaluación), a document determining the economic, financial and legal viability of a potential Public Private Partnership applying, where appropriate, the national public investment system. Investors are entitled to receive from the Peruvian state: (a) in the case of self-financed projects, taxes and tolls to be collected from final consumers; (b) in the case of co-financed projects, subsidies and payments from the public entity awarding the project; and (c) any other financing structure agreed between the parties.

 

  3.

The management of Public Private Partnership contracts by the three levels of government (central, regional and local) is regulated.

 

  4.

For projects in regulated sectors, the monitoring of Public Private Partnership contracts is subject to the provisions of the Law No. 27,332, Framework Law for Regulators on Private Investment for Public Services. According to this law, OSIPTEL, OSITRAN, SUNASS and OSINERGMIN should primarily safeguard the compliance of service levels agreed in Public Private Partnership contracts. For this purpose, Public Private Partnership contracts must establish the necessary arrangements to ensure timely and efficient supervision during the contract execution stage. To this end, public entities are required to ensure timely participation of regulatory agencies in the arbitration, when decisions and matters related to the competence of those bodies are discussed.

  5.

Favorable opinions for the Public Private Partnership Agreements from the General Comptroller Office of Peru are required. The General Comptroller will issue a report on any aspects that may jeopardize the financial capacity of the Peruvian state, according to Law No. 27,785, Organic Law of the National Control System and the General Comptroller of Peru.

 

  6.

Investors interested in participating as bidders in private investment processes must review the list of restrictions and prohibitions established in the Public Procurement Law. Whether an investor is barred from participating shall be determined through administrative channels, and such restriction will apply to any expected strategic partners as well. Furthermore, it is stated that the restriction would extend to strategic partners and to companies who have exercised direct control over the investor, as indicated in the regulations approved by the Superintendence of the Stock Market.

 

  7.

The development of projects related to assets owned by the Peruvian state (Legislative Decree No. 674, Law Promoting Private Investment in State Enterprises) can be carried out by private sector initiatives, without committing any public resources or transferring any risks to public entities, unless expressly required by law.

Each of our subsidiaries Norvial, Survial, Canchaque and GyM Ferrovías has entered into a concession agreement with ProInversión and the Peruvian Ministry of Transportation and Communications. La Chira has entered into concession agreements with ProInversión and Sedapal S.A. The abovementioned agreements were entered into in accordance with the provisions in force at the time of their execution.

Infrastructure Construction and Safety

Infrastructure concessionaires must assure that the construction companies they hire to construct infrastructure projects comply with the foregoing rules relating to construction projects. In addition, companies engaged in road construction must comply with the guidelines issued by the Road and Railways General Directorate of the Peruvian Ministry of Transportation and Communications and with the National Road Infrastructure Management Regulation regarding road construction, maintenance and safety. These regulations establish procedures for authorizing road construction and approving work contracts, among others.

Environmental Regulations

Peruvian environmental laws and regulations have become increasingly stringent over the last decade. All industries and projects are subject to Peruvian laws and regulations concerning water, air and noise pollution, and the discharge of hazardous substances. The main legislation governing environmental matters is Law No. 28,611, General Environmental Law; Law No. 27,446, the Law of the National System of the Environmental Impact Evaluation (the “SEIA”); the regulations of the SEIA Law, approved by Supreme Decree No. 019-2009-MINAM; and several environmental regulations that have been issued under the General Environmental Law, SEIA and other laws by the government with the collaboration of the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment.

Since the enactment of the General Environmental Law in October 15, 2005, several technical environmental regulations have been issued and this environmental regulatory framework is generally revised and updated regularly. Some regulations apply generally to Peruvian industries and some technical regulations are issued for specific industries.

The main environmental rules applicable to infrastructure projects include those described above in “—Engineering and Construction—Environmental Regulation.”

Peruvian Hydrocarbon Regulation

Our hydrocarbon operations are subject to governmental regulations as described below.

 

93


Table of Contents

Exploration and Production

GMP is engaged in two major activities relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas: exploration and production of oil fields; and providing services to the oil industry.

Exploration and Production of Oil Fields

Peru’s hydrocarbon legislation regarding oil and gas exploration and production activities includes, among others, the Hydrocarbon Organic Law approved by Supreme Decree No. 42-2005-EM and the regulations governing the qualification of petroleum companies; the exploration and production of hydrocarbons; the transportation of hydrocarbons; hydrocarbons pipelines and safety requirements in such activities.

The foregoing regulations define the roles of Peruvian government agencies that regulate the oil and gas industry; provide the framework for the promotion and development of hydrocarbon activities based on the principles of private-sector competition and access to all economic activities; and set the safety and security standards as well as the legal proceedings for carrying out operations.

The Peruvian Constitution establishes that the government is the sole proprietor of underground hydrocarbons within its national territory. However, the Peruvian government has granted Perupetro, a state-owned company authorized to negotiate and enter into agreements for the exploration and/or production of hydrocarbons, the ownership right over the hydrocarbons extracted which allows Perupetro to enter into such agreements. Furthermore, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Environmental Evaluation and Supervision Agency (“OEFA”) and OSINERGMIN constitute public entities that play an active role in oil and gas regulation.

The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines is responsible for devising energy and mining policies; supervising activities in the energy and mining sectors; and promoting investments in those sectors. Within the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines, the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons (“DGH”) is responsible for regulating the development of oil and gas fields and the General Directorate of Energy-Related Environmental Affairs (“DGAAE”) is responsible for reviewing and approving regulations related to environmental risks associated with hydrocarbon exploration and production activities.

OEFA is a public entity ascribed to the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment and is responsible for evaluating and ensuring compliance with applicable environmental rules covering hydrocarbon activities, as well as for initiating sanctioning proceedings when a breach of an environmental regulation occurs. OSINERGMIN is a public entity ascribed to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers’ (Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros) office and is responsible for ensuring compliance with safety and security standards in the hydrocarbon industry, as well as for sanctioning proceedings. GMP is subject to the supervision, authority and regulations enacted by the foregoing agencies.

Regarding hydrocarbon exploration and production activities, companies are required to enter into either a licensing or a services agreement with Perupetro; other contractual arrangements are permitted with prior approval from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines. The foregoing agreements are governed by private law and must be approved by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance. In licensing agreements, licensees obtain authorizations to explore and produce hydrocarbons in a determined area, are granted ownership over the extracted hydrocarbons and are subject to the payment of royalties. Licensees may trade the hydrocarbons with no limitations on sales prices, except in the event of a national emergency.

Services agreements grant contractors the right to perform hydrocarbon exploration and production activities in a determined area and receive compensation according to the production of hydrocarbons. The contractor is technically and financially responsible for the operations, but Perupetro maintains the ownership over the hydrocarbons extracted. GMP is party to services agreements with respect to Blocks I and V, and to licensing agreements with respect to Blocks III and IV. Each block has an independent contract with Perupetro.

 

94


Table of Contents

Services and licensing agreements are intended for the development, production and eventually transportation of hydrocarbons, as well as for certain storage activities. Services and licensing agreements commonly include a minimum performance schedule guaranteed by performance bonds and require corporate guarantees to be issued to secure the contractor’s compliance to the provisions established by the parties.

Additionally, a company must be qualified by Perupetro prior to entering into hydrocarbon exploration and production agreements. In order to qualify, a company must meet the standards under the Regulations on the Qualification of Petroleum Companies (approved by means of Supreme Decree No. 030-2004-EM), requiring companies to demonstrate that they have the technical, legal and financial capacity to comply with all the obligations they will assume under the agreement with Perupetro. Such capacities are measured according to the characteristics of the area to be explored or produced, the expected investment required for the project, and the strict fulfillment of the rules regarding prior consultation (if applicable), citizen participation and environmental issues related to the operation’s performance. Upon a positive evaluation, the company is issued a qualification certificate from Perupetro that allows it to initiate the negotiations of the agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the company remains responsible for obtaining all other licenses, permits and approvals required by applicable regulation.

Under the current regulation, 30 years is the maximum term of services and licensing agreements for the production of crude oil. On the other hand, natural gas and condensates-related services or licensing agreements have a maximum term of 40 years. Graña y Montero acts as GMP’s guarantor in all of the Block I, Block III, Block V and Block VI contracts.

GMP must comply with Supreme Decree No. 043-2007-EM for its activities relating to hydrocarbons in all phases. The OSINERGMIN is the authority responsible for the supervision and enforcement of the foregoing rules.

Services to the Petroleum Industry

Peruvian regulation provides that all companies that enter into a service agreement with any company that holds a licensing or services agreement must be registered as a subcontractor in the Hydrocarbons Public Registry in case they render any of the following services: (i) geological studies, geophysical studies, petroleum engineering related to drilling operations, production and well services; or (ii) construction of oil pipelines, gas pipelines, refineries and their maintenance, and specialized transportation by land, air, sea or river. In order to register a company as a subcontractor in the Hydrocarbons Public Registry, prior authorization from the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons (“DGH”) of the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines is required.

On June 1, 2004, GMP was included as a subcontractor for the petroleum industry in the Hydrocarbons Registry of Lima’s Public Registry of Legal Entities; such registry remains in force as of the date of this annual report.

Environmental Regulations

The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines is responsible for enacting environmental regulation for the oil and gas sector. The Oil and Gas Environmental Protection Regulation, approved by Supreme Decree No. 039-2014-EM and modified by Supreme Decree No. 023-2018-EM, sets out the legal framework and specific rules applicable to the exploration, production, refinement, processing, transportation, commercialization, storage and distribution of hydrocarbons, with the aim of preventing, controlling and remedying the negative environmental impacts arising from the foregoing activities.

The Peruvian Ministry of the Environment establishes general rules applicable to different activities in several sectors, in contrast to the specific rules enacted by the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines regarding the oil and gas sector. Environmental laws and regulations are enforced by the National Environmental Enforcement Agency, OEFA (Organismo de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental) which was created in 2008. Sanctions range from warnings and fines to suspensions of activities and mitigation of environmental damages, among others. In this regard, a breach of the obligations contemplated in the Environmental Impact Assessments in the hydrocarbons sector may originate fines up to 30,000 Tax Units (approximately US$39 million or S/126 million) according to the applicable law.

 

95


Table of Contents

The main environmental rules applicable to GMP’s hydrocarbon projects include:

 

   

obtaining an environmental certification and adopting the necessary measures to prevent and/or mitigate environmental impacts resulting from their activities;

 

   

meeting minimum size, environmental and safety requirements applicable to worksites; handling and storing of hydrocarbons pursuant to safety and environmental requirements; establishing programs to monitor environmental issues; and

 

   

providing training on environmental matters related to employee and personnel activities and responsibilities, especially with respect to regulations and procedures established for environmental protection and the environmental and legal consequences of non-compliance.

Operation of Terminals

In accordance with the Glossary, Acronyms and Abbreviations for the Hydrocarbons Subsector approved by Supreme Decree No. 032-2002-EM, a terminal is a facility that includes storage tanks, submarine lines or docks for receiving or dispatching liquid hydrocarbons and facilities related to activities of storage and reception and/or dispatch of liquid hydrocarbon from/to vessels.

Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú are two joint operations conducted by GMP and Oiltanking Peru S.A.C. which operated ten of Petroperú’s terminals in Peru: (i) the South Terminals of Pisco, Mollendo, Ilo, Juliaca and Cuzco; and (ii) the North Terminals of Eten, Salaverry, Chimbote and Supe; including Callao, respectively. Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú provide hydrocarbons handling and storage services in Peru for gasoline, aviation fuel and diesel, among others.

The operation of both the South and North Terminals was granted through the “South Terminal Operation Agreement” and the “North Terminal Operation Agreement” (the “Operation Agreements”) dated February 2, 1998, by and among Petroperú and Consorcio Terminales. The Operation Agreements resulted from two tenders in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 674, and mandate that Consorcio Terminales, as operator of the terminals, be responsible for the storage, handling, additivation and dispatch of hydrocarbons in such facilities.

The initial term of the Operation Agreements was 15 years; however, the parties agreed to extend the duration of the agreement to an additional 18 months ending in August 2014. The purpose of this extension was to undertake the additional investments that were necessary to satisfy the national demand increase and to perform operative and safety-related improvements to the facilities. In July of 2014, the operation agreements were extended for an additional four years ending in July of 2018.

The South Terminal operation agreement was extended, most recently until November 2, 2019. On November 3, 2019, the South Fuel Terminal concession reverted to Petroperú. With respect to the North Terminal operation agreement, the agreement with Consorcio Terminales expired on October 31, 2014, however, GMP and Oiltanking were granted a new operation agreement for the terminal, this time under the ‘Terminales del Perú’ Consortium, which provided for a 20-year extension that will end on November 1, 2034. Additionally, Terminales del Perú was granted with the operation agreement for the terminal del Centro-Callao, for 20 years commencing on September 2, 2014 until September 1, 2034. In executing their operations, both Consorcio Terminales and Terminales del Perú are committed to develop and follow a work program which must include an investment schedule. The work program performed included the installation of protection systems and loading systems, among others, and was secured by a performance bond.

GMP’s activities as a part of Consorcio Terminales fall under the scope of the Hydrocarbons Storage Safety Regulation, approved by Supreme Decree No. 052-93-EM. Consorcio Terminales is registered in the Hydrocarbon Registry of OSINERGMIN and is authorized to perform transportation activities such as loading and unloading hydrocarbons from vessels on the terminals. This regulation establishes the conditions under which GMP can operate and maintain storage facilities for hydrocarbons. For instance, the regulation specifies the technical requirements for storage systems, which vary depending upon the kinds of hydrocarbons stored. Moreover, pursuant to this regulation, GMP must establish procedures to minimize potential risks that these facilities present for employees, third parties and properties.

Gas Processing Plants

In accordance with the Glossary, Acronyms and Abbreviations for the Hydrocarbons Subsector, approved by Supreme Decree No. 032-2002-EM, a processing plant is a facility where the natural characteristics of hydrocarbons are changed to break them into the different compounds that comprise them, as well as the subsequent transformations to convert the hydrocarbons into fuel of specific qualities and suitable for transportation. This includes the facilities where the impurities, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, water and hazardous components are removed from natural gas.

Our processing and fractionation activities fall under the scope of regulations governing hydrocarbons refinement and processing including regulations on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of refineries and hydrocarbons processing plants, the oil refining process, the manufacture of natural asphalts, oil and lubricants, basic petrochemical activities and the processing of natural gas and condensates. In order to comply with these regulations, GMP must take cautionary measures in order to protect the safety of its employees and its facilities, protect the environment, preserve energy resources and ensure the quality of the products or services it delivers. For instance, GMP’s plant operations must be authorized by the General Direction of Hydrocarbons and comply with fire safety regulations. In the event of an accident, GMP must notify the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines, the Peruvian Ministry of Labor and the Peruvian Social Security Administration.

Terms of our Concessions

Our concessions are subject to certain terms and conditions established in each concession agreement. During the term of the concessions, we are responsible for the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure necessary to their operation. The concession agreements establish minimum capital stock requirements for our concessionaire subsidiaries as follows: US$15 million (S/50 million), US$8 million (S/27 million), US$0.8 million (S/2.7 million), S/46 million and S/100 million for Norvial, Survial, Canchaque, La Chira and the Lima Metro, respectively.

The concession agreements establish grounds for termination including mutual agreement of the parties thereto, force majeure and breach of certain contractual obligations. Additionally, in the case of La Chira and the Lima Metro, the agreement can be terminated unilaterally by the grantor, with the payment of compensation. On the expiration date, all of the assets that are essential for the operation of the concession are considered the state’s property and no compensation is paid to the concessionaire.

In the event that changes in legislation or regulations that are exclusively related to the financial conditions of the earnings and/or costs associated with the investment, operation or conservation of the infrastructure, affect the economic terms of the contract by 10% or more, the concession agreements set forth economic terms adjustment mechanisms aimed at restoring the economic and financial equilibrium. See “—Infrastructure—Principal Infrastructure Lines of Business.”

Real Estate

Since 1987, we have been operating in the Peruvian real estate sector. In 2008, we incorporated Viva GyM to concentrate the group’s activities in this sector including promoting and managing real estate projects including affordable housing and housing and commercial real estate projects.

Zoning Regulations

Article 79 of the Municipalities Organic Law (Law No. 27,972) establishes that municipal governments are the exclusive authority responsible for approving urban and rural development plans, as well as the zoning of urban areas under their jurisdiction. Peruvian regulation states that urban zoning refers to the division of a municipal jurisdiction in zones for specific usage, such as residential, commercial, industrial or mixed-use.

A. Operating Results

Overview

We are the largest engineering and construction company in Peru as measured by revenues during 2019, and one of the largest publicly traded engineering and construction companies in Latin America as measured by market capitalization as of December 31, 2019, with strong complementary businesses in infrastructure and real estate services. With more than 85 years of operations, we have a long track record of successfully completing the engineering and construction of many of the country’s landmark private and public sector infrastructure projects. Beginning in the mid-1980s, we decided to leverage our engineering and construction expertise into complementary lines of business. We have also undertaken the engineering and construction of large and complex projects outside our home market throughout our history. In addition, we have expanded our activities into other key markets of the Latin American region through the acquisition of businesses with solid positions in those markets.

The Impact of the Ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus are disrupting economic activity, and consequently adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. As conditions are recent, uncertain and changing rapidly, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the impact of the pandemic. If conditions persist, however, it is likely that the pandemic and the related government measures will have a material adverse effect on the company.

Countries around the world—including Peru as well as Chile and Colombia—have adopted extraordinary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, including imposing travel restrictions, requiring closures of non-essential businesses, establishing restrictions on public gatherings, instructing residents to practice social distancing, issuing stay-at-home orders, implementing quarantines and similar actions. Depending on how the spread of the virus evolves, governments may extend these measures for longer periods. As of the date of this annual report, Peru has extended certain extraordinary measures until June 30, 2020, while Chile and Colombia have extended extraordinary measures until September 18, 2020 and August 31, 2020, respectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related government measures have significantly increased economic uncertainty and are likely to cause a global recession. According to recent projections from the International Monetary Fund, during 2020, the global economy is expected to contract by 3.0%, with Latin America expected to contract 5.2% and Peru, Chile and Colombia, in particular, expected to contract 6.5%, 4.5% and 2.7%, respectively. Moreover, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity has been sudden and severe, and we cannot predict the extent to which the economies in the countries where we operate will ultimately be impacted.

From mid-March until the end of May 2020, substantially all of our engineering and construction projects, particularly in Peru, and real estate projects, were mandatorily shut down. Although certain projects are gradually resuming, we cannot assure you when we will be able to resume work in full. Our infrastructure operations, which have for the most part been declared essential businesses, have continued; however, certain of our infrastructure businesses have been adversely affected, in particular, by the sharp decline in traffic volumes and oil and gas prices (also due to the dispute in March among OPEC member countries). Additionally, the Peruvian Congress has suspended the payment of tolls on roads during the period of quarantine, although the Peruvian executive branch has initiated an action to declare the congressional prohibition on collecting tolls unconstitutional, and the company is evaluating its legal options.

Based on preliminary data, we estimate that the company’s consolidated revenues for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/150.3 million (US$44.4 million), a decrease of 43.5% as compared to April 2019; consolidated net income for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/(15.8) million (US$(4.7) million), a decrease of approximately 49.8% as compared to April 2019; and consolidated EBITDA amounted to approximately S/14.7 million (US$4.3 million), a decrease of approximately 36.2% as compared to April 2019. On a segment basis, based on preliminary data, we estimate that: (i) E&C revenues for April 2020 amounted to approximately S/95.2 million, a decrease of 39.3% as compared to April 2019; E&C net income for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/(5.5) million; and E&C EBITDA for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/5.0 million; (ii) Infrastructure revenues for April 2020 amounted to approximately S/68.8 million, a decline of 51.2% as compared to April 2019; Infrastructure net income for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/(3.3) million; and Infrastructure EBITDA for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/11.6 million, a decline of 64.5% as compared to April 2019; and (iii) Real Estate revenues for month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/476 thousand, a decrease of 95.9% as compared to April 2019; Real Estate net income for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/(734) thousand; and Real Estate EBITDA for the month of April 2020 amounted to approximately S/(713) thousand. We believe that our results of operations during the month of May will, for the most part, reflect substantially similar trends as those of the foregoing preliminary estimates for the month of April, as a result of the impact of COVID-19 and the government measures to limit the spread of the virus. Our preliminary data for the month of April and our expectations for the month of May is subject to change, potentially in material respects.

Because the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the industries in which we operate cannot be predicted at this time, the full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition is currently unknown. We believe that the severity of the impact on the company will depend, to a large extent, on how long the crisis continues.Our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impacts may also include additional allowances for certain accounts receivable and impairments to the group’s long-term assets. We expect that our results of operations for the second quarter of 2020 will be significantly more impacted, as adverse conditions have persisted for a longer period during the second quarter. We do not expect our financial performance to improve until current restrictions designed to confront COVID-19 are lifted and economic activity and, eventually, capital investment resume, which will depend, to a large degree, on health concerns from the pandemic subsiding and on the recovery of economic conditions. For more information, see notes 4.4 and 37 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

We are taking significant measures to mitigate the impact of the crisis on the company. Among other measures, we are prioritizing the health and safety of our employees, as well as the medium-term sustainability of their employment. Certain actions we are taking include: the design and implementation of protocols to return to project sites, the creation of new office layouts to be compliant with social distancing guidelines, the development of telecommuting schemes, and other cost-saving initiatives. For more information on measures we are evaluating to reduce expenses, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Recent Developments (2017—2020)

We participated in six construction and operation of infrastructure projects in Peru with affiliates of Odebrecht during the period from 2005 to 2017 (known as: IIRSA South (tranches II and III); IIRSA North; Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro; Gasoducto Sur Peruano; and Chavimochic. Our stakes in these projects ranged from 17% to 33%. None of these projects have been operating since February 2017.

In December 2016, Odebrecht entered into a plea agreement with U.S., Brazilian and other authorities in which they admitted to making illegal bribery payments in connection with projects in various countries, including Peru. These projects include certain consortia in which we participated. As a result of the plea agreement, Peruvian authorities have initiated criminal investigations against our company and certain of our former directors and senior management.

Additionally, on January 24, 2017, the Peruvian government terminated the gas pipeline concession held by GSP, a consortium in which we participated with Odebrecht affiliates, due to failure of GSP to obtain the required project financing by the stipulated deadline. The termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, despite the government payment contemplated under the concession contract, has had a material impact on our consolidated financial results and backlog.

See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors —Risks Related to Recent Developments (2017—2020).”

Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession

In September 2015, we entered into a memorandum of understanding to invest US$215 million (S/722 million) for a 20% stake in GSP, a company that had previously been awarded the concession for the design, construction and operation of the southern gas pipeline, a project to deliver natural gas to the southern region of Peru, particularly to the provinces of Cuzco, Arequipa, Puno and Moquegua. With our 20% investment commitment made on November 2, 2015, an affiliate of Odebrecht owned a 55% interest and an affiliate of Enagás International, S.L. (“Enagas”) owned a 25% interest in GSP.

On January 24, 2017, the Peruvian government terminated the concession due to GSP’s failure to obtain the required project financing by the stipulated deadline. As a result, we recognized impairments with respect to our investment in and long term account receivables from GSP and our participation in CCDS.

Pursuant to the concession contract, the Peruvian government is required to carry out an auction process to sell GSP’s assets and obtain a new concessionaire within one year of the contract termination, with the funds raised in the sale to be used to pay the existing concessionaire for its investment in the project. The amount of the termination payment is required to be no more than 100% and no less than 72.25% of the net carrying amount (valor contable neto), as defined in the concession contract. Consequently, the auction process should initiate with a base price equivalent to 100% of the net carrying amount. If the auction is unsuccessful in the first round, the government is required to undertake a second round, with a base price equal to 85% of the net carrying amount; and, if the second round is unsuccessful, the government is required to undertake a third round, with a base price equal to 72.25% of the net carrying amount. If a successful bidder is not obtained from such auction processes within one year of the termination of the contract, the government shall pay the concessionaire a termination payment equal to 100% of the net carrying amount.

The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines announced in April 2017 that the auction process for the new concessionaire of the project assets would be carried out during the first quarter of 2018. A third party was appointed, through an adjudication process, as temporary custodian and administrator of the gas pipeline assets until the new bidder is awarded the concession. However, since that time, the Peruvian government has not indicated an intention to commence the auction process.

In 2016, in connection with efforts to restructure or sell Odebrecht’s participation in GSP, due to the corruption scandal surrounding Odebrecht, Odebrecht contractually agreed to subordinate its claims under the concession to the other project partners, Enagas and ourselves. As a result, we and Enagas may be entitled to repayment of our percentage payment under the concession contract prior to Odebrecht. In January 2018, Odebrecht commenced arbitration proceedings against us, our subsidiary GyM and Enagas, seeking to invalidate the contractual subordination, but Odebrecht subsequently withdrew the claim.

On December 4, 2017, GSP voluntarily commenced bankruptcy proceedings in Peru. GSP’s assets will be liquidated pursuant to Peruvian law. GSP’s only substantial asset is the claim for government payment described above, as contemplated under the concession contract in the event of termination.

Although the concession contract provides that payment must be made within one year of termination, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines has not made payment or, to our knowledge, initiated the payment process or the auction process for a new concessionaire. As a result, after the six-month period mandated by the concession contract for the parties to discuss the matter, in October 2019, we asserted our rights against the Peruvian government by filing a request for arbitration before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. However, in December 2019 we withdrew our request for arbitration, as required by Peruvian authorities under the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement we entered into with Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel.

We made total investments in the GSP project of US$243 million (S/811 million), which we financed in part with borrowings. We also assumed our proportional obligation to repay the project’s bridge loan in an amount of US$129 million (S/436 million) and the project’s performance guarantee in amount of US$52.5 million (S/177 million) and recorded them as other financial liabilities and other accounts payable, respectively, in our consolidated financial statements. We also recorded an account receivable for the same amounts, since we have the right to collect these amounts from GSP. According to our estimates, under the terms of the concession contract, taking into account the subordination arrangement, and based on receiving payment equal to 72.25% of the net carrying amount, in accordance with IFRS, in 2016 we recorded an impairment to our equity investment in GSP in the amount of S/593.1 million (approximately US$175.5 million) to reflect a write-off of equity value in GSP. Although GSP’s right to compensation pursuant to the concession contract, due to the Peruvian government’s failure to pay, is 100% of the net carrying amount, our company had accounted for 72.25% due to political uncertainty, GSP’s bankruptcy process with INDECOPI, and disagreements with the other GSP shareholders. In addition, during 2016 our gross profit decreased by S/15.2 million (US$4.5 million) due to the impact of the early termination of the construction consortium (Consorcio Ductos del Sur), in accordance with IFRS. Also during 2016, we registered a discount of the related long term account receivable in financial expenses of S/77.4 million (US$22.9 million) and wrote off S/180 million (US$54 million) in respect of the deferred income tax asset. In addition, the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession reduced our backlog as of December 31, 2016 by US$855 million (S/2,889.0 million), representing 30.2% of our E&C backlog and 33.8% of our total backlog. After taking into account these effects, we recorded, S/654.8 million (US$197.3 million) in connection with our investment in GSP, and S/2,079.2 million (US$627.6 million) in related receivables, as of each of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2019, as a result of the withdrawal of our request for arbitration against the Peruvian government in December 2019, we impaired the remaining amount of our investment in GSP. Also in 2019, taking into account that a meeting of GSP creditors has yet to occur and that GSP’s bankruptcy proceedings remain in the debt recognition stage, we recognized an impairment of US$81.5 million (S/276 million) to our long-term account receivable from GSP, based on our estimate that GSP is likely to recover 50% (rather than the previous estimate of 72.25%) of the net carrying amount; we adjusted the net present value of the remaining account receivables by US$17 million (S/58 million) pursuant to IFRS rules; and we wrote-off US$54 million (S/180 million) over the deferred income tax asset associated with the company’s investment in GSP. As of December 31, 2019, after taking into account these effects, we continue to maintain S/544 million (US$164 million) in long-term receivables as a creditor of GSP.

The effects of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession recorded in our consolidated financial statements are based on our estimates, based on the terms of the concession contract and with the information that we have available to date. The actual impact on our results, however, could change materially from our estimates. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will receive any benefit from the government payment provided for under the GSP gas pipeline concession contract on a timely basis, or at all. For more information, see note 5(e) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Ongoing Investigations

Our company and certain of our subsidiaries, and certain of our former directors and senior management, have been charged in connection with criminal and civil investigations relating to certain of our projects in connection with our association with Odebrecht and in connection with our alleged participation in what is referred to as the “construction club.”

In connection with investigations relating to the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II), the Peruvian criminal prosecutor moved to charge our company and our construction subsidiary, GyM, as criminal defendants in connection with the project. In response, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court (Primer Juzgado de Investigación Preparatoria Nacional) notified us of its decision to formally include our company and GyM in its criminal investigation. We appealed the court’s decision and, in June 2018, the First Court of Appeals of the Superior Court of Lima revoked the judicial order that indicted our company and GyM, among other corporate defendants, in the criminal investigation on charges of collusion and other crimes and rejected the petition, without prejudice, made by the prosecutor to incorporate both companies in the aforementioned process. Nevertheless, in February of 2020, we were notified that the criminal prosecutor had filed a new motion to bring criminal charges against our company and GyM in connection with the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II). We cannot predict the outcome of this motion.

Separately, in connection with these investigations, in December 2018, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court resolved to include our company and GyM as civilly-responsible third parties in the investigations related to the IIRSA South project concession tranche II and GyM as a civilly-responsible third party in the investigations related to Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro. These proceedings are ongoing.

Peruvian prosecutors have included José Graña Miró Quesada, a shareholder and the former Chairman of our company, in an investigation for the crime of collusion, and Hernando Graña Acuña, a shareholder, a former board member of our company and former chairman of our subsidiary GyM, for the crime of money laundering against the Peruvian government, each in connection with the IIRSA South project concession tranche II, in which we participated with Odebrecht. Gonzalo Ferraro Rey, the former Chief Infrastructure Officer of our company, has also been included in an investigation for the crime of money laundering in connection with the same project. In addition, José Graña Hernando Graña, as well as Juan Manuel Lambarri, the former chief executive officer of our subsidiary GyM, have been charged in connection with Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project. In August 2019, José Graña indicated in public statements to the media that he and Hernando Graña had initiated a process of plea bargaining with Peruvian prosecutors in respect of multiple projects in which our company participated with Odebrecht and in respect of the alleged “construction club.” According to José Graña’s public statements, in the plea bargaining process, both he and Hernando Graña are cooperating with the Peruvian prosecutor, which may include providing information related to wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behavior while they were at the company. However, given the confidential nature of these proceedings, the reported information is limited and difficult to verify. We cannot assure you what they will ultimately say to the government, or that their statements will not adversely affect the company’s business.

INDECOPI initiated in 2017 investigations regarding allegations that certain construction companies in Peru, including our subsidiary GyM, colluded as a “construction club” to receive public contracts. In February 2020, INDECOPI initiated an administrative proceeding against several construction companies, including our subsidiary GyM, aiming to impose civil fines on the investigated companies.

Table of Contents

Separately, in December 2018, GyM was formally included as a civilly-responsible third party, along with eleven other construction companies, in the criminal investigation conducted by a Peruvian public prosecutor based on facts similar to those under investigation by INDECOPI. In December 2019, the prosecutor criminally charged GyM and another of our subsidiaries, CONCAR, and other companies in the construction sector in Peru, as well as a former director and senior management of our company, with collusion and other alleged crimes.

The company’s management has made estimates, and established provisions, in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the investigations in respect of the company and its subsidiaries, including with respect to the company’s alleged participation in investigations of what is referred to as the “construction club”.

In December 2019, we entered into a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with the Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel in respect of investigations relating to past projects in which the company participated with Odebrecht and investigations relating to an alleged participation in the “construction club”. The terms of the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement are confidential in accordance with Peruvian law and under discussion with Peruvian authorities. Although in the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement, the Peruvian government undertook to enter into a final settlement and cooperation agreement within sixty business days, we have not reached a final agreement, and the parties continue to discuss the terms of the settlement.

A conviction of corruption or settlements with government authorities could lead to criminal and civil fines as well as penalties, sanctions, injunctions against future conduct, profit disgorgement, disqualifications from directly and indirectly engaging in certain types of business, the loss of business licenses or permits, debarment from contracting or from participating in bidding processes with the Peruvian government, or other restrictions. Moreover, our alleged involvement in corruption investigations, and any findings or admissions of wrongdoing in such investigations, could further damage our reputation and have a material adverse impact on our ability to compete for business. In addition, such investigations may affect the company’s ability to secure financing in the future. Furthermore, investigations could continue to divert management’s attention and resources from other issues facing our business.

Emergency Decree and Subsequent Legislation

In February 2017, the President of Peru issued an emergency decree (Decreto de Urgencia No. 003-2017), prohibiting groups that have been, or whose officers or representatives have been convicted of, or have admitted to, corruption, money-laundering or similar crimes (whether in Peru or elsewhere) from, among other things, transferring or selling any assets related to investments in Peru, including the proceeds of asset or equity sales, or sending money abroad without a governmental authorization. Section II of Law 30737, passed in March 2018 to replace the aforementioned emergency decree, includes companies that have been partners of groups that have been, or whose officers or representatives have been, convicted of, or have admitted to, corruption, money-laundering or similar crimes. Our company and our subsidiary GyM are two such companies. The law requires that they: suspend money transfers abroad; implement a compliance program and disclose information to competent authorities; and create a trust of assets to guarantee eventual compensation in favor of the Peruvian government. The Peruvian government is required to determine the amount of such guarantee pursuant to Law 30737. On May 9, 2018, Supreme Decree No. 096-2018-EF was passed, which provides guidelines for such determination.

Following discussions with the Peruvian government, in February 2019, we established a trust in favor of the Peruvian government in respect of any liabilities arising from Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project and Tranche II of the IIRSA project, to which we assigned shares of our subsidiary GMI, which is estimated to be worth approximately US$23.4 million (S/79.1 million). We cannot assure you that the Peruvian government will not claim the assets set forth in this trust or require that our company place additional assets in trust, nor can we assure you that these assets will fully satisfy any eventual obligations we may have to the Peruvian government.

Management has estimated the value of the company’s contingencies to be approximately US$84.4 million (S/279.8 million), and taking into account the net present value, established a provision in the company’s financial statements in the amount of US$46.6 million (S/153.9 million). This includes amounts in respect of probable liabilities arising from the investigations of the IIRSA South concession (tranche II), Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project, the GSP project and the “construction club” investigation. We cannot provide assurance that our liability will not exceed the amount estimated by management and provisioned for in the financial statements of the company. Furthermore, if the company is investigated for further charges in connection with wrongdoing in respect of other projects, this contingent amount could increase significantly. For more information, see note 1 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Debt Related to GSP

In connection with the termination of the GSP concession, we renegotiated and subsequently repaid in full the following debt instruments:

 

   

Syndicated Loan Related to our Equity Investment in GSP: As a result of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our syndicated loan used to finance our equity investment in GSP became due. The principal amount outstanding under our syndicated loan was US$150 million (S/504 million) as of the termination of the concession in January 2017. On June 27, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, pursuant to which our syndicated loan was to mature in 2020, with required prepayments to be made with the proceeds of asset sales, 40% of which were to be paid during the first year following the amendment, and 30% of which were to be paid during the second year following the amendment. The syndicated loan accrued interest at LIBOR plus 4.90% per year. Concurrent with the amendment, we also provided additional security interests, including: (i) a first priority lien on our shares of GyM and Concar; (ii) a second priority lien on our shares of Almonte; (iii) a first priority lien on certain real estate properties in Surquillo, Peru; (iv) liens on certain related accounts; (v) a second priority lien on our shares of CAM and CAM Servicios; and (vi) a first priority lien on cash flows from the sale of certain assets. On June 26, 2019, the loan was repaid in full.

 

   

Proportional guarantee of the GSP Bridge Loan: As a result of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our proportional guarantee of the GSP bridge loan became due. On June 27, 2017 we entered in a new US$78.7 million (S/264.8 million) term loan with Natixis, BBVA, SMBC and MUFJ, the proceeds of which were used to repay the GSP bridge loan. The new term loan was to mature in 2020, with required prepayments to be made with the proceeds of asset sales, 40% of which were to be paid during the first year following the amendment, and 30% of which were to be paid during the second year following the amendment. The term loan accrued interest at LIBOR plus 4.50% per year, which increased to LIBOR plus 5.00% during the second year and to 5.50% during the third year. Also, we provided the following security interests to secure repayment of the term loan: (i) a first priority lien on our rights to receive the termination payment derived from the GSP termination, (ii) a second priority lien on our shares of GyM and Concar; (iii) a second priority lien on our shares of Almonte; (iv) a second priority lien on certain real estate properties in Miraflores and Surquillo; (v) a second priority lien on our shares of CAM and CAM Servicios; and (vi) a first priority lien on cash flows from the sale of certain assets. On June 28, 2019, the term loan was repaid in full.

 

   

Proportional Repayment Obligations under the GSP Performance Guarantee: Upon the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our proportional repayment obligations under the GSP performance guarantee from Chubb Insurance Company in the amount of US$52.5 million (S/177.4 million) became due. On December 6, 2018, we paid the final installment with respect to our obligations to Chubb Insurance Company.

For more information, see —Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness.

Asset Sales

In order to strengthen our liquidity and financial flexibility, particularly in the event of potential delays in receiving the government payment contemplated under the GSP gas pipeline concession contract, and make payments on our debt related to the GSP project, we sold the following assets:

 

   

Sale of Cuartel San Martín: On February 3, 2017, our subsidiary Viva GyM sold all of its interests in the Cuartel San Martín real estate project, which represented a 50% stake in the project, to its partner Urbi Propiedades S.A. for US$50 million (S/163 million);

Sale of our Interest in GMD: On June 6, 2017, we sold our 89.19% interest in GMD, our IT services subsidiary, to Advent International for a price of US$84.7 million (S/269.9 million);

 

   

Sale of the building Petit Thouars: On September 29, 2017, we sold a building located in block 49 of Petit Thouars Avenue to VOLCOMCAPITAL Deuda Perú for a price of US$20.5 million (S/68.9 million);

 

   

Sale of Almonte properties. On May 31, 2018, Almonte signed an agreement to sell 4,208,769 square meters of land for an aggregate price of US$92.7 million. The amount of the sale proceeds corresponding to our company is proportional to its 50.45% ownership stake; and

 

   

Sale of our interest in CAM Chile and CAM Servicios: On December 4, 2018, we sold our 73.16% interest in CAM Chile and CAM Servicios, our subsidiaries engaged in the operation and maintenance of electric utilities, to GDF Suez Energie Services Chile Holding SpA and ENGIE Services Perú S.A., for a price of US$18.75 million (S/63.34 million).

 

   

Investment Agreement for Norvial Dividends: On June 11, 2018, we signed an investment agreement with BCI Perú, to monetize future dividends of Norvial. The amount of the transaction is US$42.3 million, the proceeds of which were applied to the reduction of indebtedness related to GSP.

 

   

Sale of Stracon GyM: On April 11, 2018, we sold our 88% interest in Stracon GyM for a price of US$77 million (S/249 million).

In addition, we are in the process of marketing for sale our subsidiary Adexus, which entered into Chilean bankruptcy proceedings on November 19, 2019. We are also evaluating the sale of certain additional assets, including part of our land bank, which we do not consider to be strategic to our business, to meet our liquidity needs as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the spread of the virus.

Internal Investigation

We conducted an internal investigation led by U.S. counsel with the assistance of forensic accountants with respect to our participation in consortia with Odebrecht. The Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee of our board of directors was charged with overseeing the internal investigation. This internal investigation, which concluded on November 1, 2017, identified no evidence to conclude that any company personnel engaged in bribery in connection with any of our company’s public projects in Peru with Odebrecht or its subsidiaries, or that any company personnel was aware of, or knowingly participated in, any corrupt payments made in relation to such projects.

Subsequently, in August 2019, José Graña Miró Quesada, a shareholder and the former chairman of our company, indicated in public statements to the media that he and Hernando Graña Acuña, a shareholder and former board member of our company and the former chairman of our subsidiary GyM, had initiated a process of plea bargaining to cooperate with Peruvian prosecutors in respect of multiple projects in which our company participated with Odebrecht and in respect of the alleged “construction club.” According to news reports, in the plea bargaining process, José Graña and Hernando Graña may have provided information related to wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behavior while they were at the company; however, given the confidential nature of these proceedings, the reported information is limited and difficult to verify. Any admission or other evidence of wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behaviour by José Graña or Hernando Graña in respect of our participation in consortia with Odebrecht would be inconsistent with information gathered during the internal investigation and would have a material impact on the findings of the internal investigation.

As new information about the various Peruvian criminal investigations of the company emerged, and news that the company’s former chairman and director were plea bargaining with Peruvian authorities, the company’s board of directors continued to investigate the allegations that were the subject of the investigations, including matters relating to the “construction club,” which was beyond the scope of the internal investigation conducted by U.S. counsel. After an extensive and detailed review process, in line with its commitment to transparency and integrity, the company shared information relevant to the investigations with the Peruvian authorities within the framework of a plea bargain process.

In December 2019, we entered into a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with Peruvian authorities. The terms of the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement are confidential in accordance with Peruvian law and under discussion with Peruvian authorities. Although in the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement the Peruvian government undertook to enter into a final settlement and cooperation agreement within sixty business days, we have not reached a final agreement, and the parties continue to discuss the terms of the settlement.

New CEO, New Board of Directors and Board Committee

On February 27, 2017, our former chairman of the board, our former CEO and board member, and our board member and the former chairman of the board of our subsidiary GyM resigned from their positions. Effective March 2, 2017, we appointed a new CEO. On March 31, 2017, our shareholders at the annual shareholders’ meeting appointed a new board of directors, replacing seven of our nine existing directors, two of which subsequently resigned and were replaced in July 2018 and December 2018. An additional board member resigned and was replaced in May 2019. For more information, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees.”

Strengthening of Anti-Corruption Program

In 2017, we approved a plan to continue strengthening our anti-corruption compliance program, an integral part of our larger Corporate Risk and Compliance Program. We launched a plan in which we focused on cultural changes and four strategic elements to re-shape the way we do business. The plan emphasized: (i) corporate governance, (ii) ethics and compliance, (iii) risk management, and (iv) regulatory compliance and monitoring.

In line with the plan, in 2017, shareholders appointed a new board of directors with a majority of independent board members, as described further below. The new board of directors created the Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee (whose participants today include four board members), created the Corporate Risk and Compliance Function, reporting directly to the board of directors, hired an internationally experienced Chief Risk and Compliance Officer and provided this new corporate function with additional resources, such that by mid-2018, the Corporate Risk and Compliance Function included ten officers. In parallel, the new board of directors launched an integrity manifesto and conducted an internal investigation, led by U.S. counsel with the assistance of forensic accountants, with respect to our participation in consortia with Odebrecht. These actions served as the foundation for a cultural change; the enhancement of the tone at the top; and the transformation and enhancement of anti-corruption practices across the group. In parallel, international advisors and top consulting firms provided specialized anticorruption training to the board of directors, senior management and middle management.

In 2018, the Corporate Risk and Compliance Program re-launched key aspects of the program, focused on ethics and compliance. The first accomplishment was the approval, implementation and training of the company’s new Code of Business Conduct, which was rewritten by senior management. Another key achievement was the whistleblower mechanism, which we revamped and relaunched. Together with the business operations functions, we also reviewed and modernized our policy on third party due diligence (focused on anticorruption, crime prevention and international sanctions), which included building a robust process using international best practices and modern web-based tools for name search and case management.

Table of Contents

Risk was the program’s focus in 2019, while we continued to implement other aspects of the program. The board of directors formalized the company’s risk management methodology and risk appetite and approved the risk manual. Business operations redesigned certain risk processes and developed risk matrices, guided by the professional opinion of business line experts, as additional foundation for a modern risk management function. This included the use of an enhanced method to measure and mitigate corruption risk. In 2019, the company also introduced revised policies on donations, gifts and entertainment, on dealing with conflicts of interests, and on managing relationships with government officials.

In 2020, we expect to focus the Corporate Risk and Compliance Program’s development on regulatory compliance and on monitoring, including policies to ensure that regulations are implemented and monitored, and that progress is reported internally, together with the continued improvement of other aspects of the Corporate Risk and Compliance Program.

Securities Class Action

A class action civil lawsuit was filed in 2017 against our company and certain of our former directors and former and current executive officers in the United States. In February 2020, we executed a term sheet with the plaintiffs that provides the general terms and conditions for a final settlement agreement. The term sheet stipulates a settlement amount of US$20 million plus interest after a certain time period. The company recorded provisions of US$15 million as of December 31, 2019, and the remaining US$5 million is expected to be covered by the company’s D&O insurance. It is not certain whether the negotiation of a final settlement agreement will be successful, and, if so, whether any such agreement will be approved by the court. If a final settlement is not rendered and approved by the court, we would expect the lawsuit to resume.

Restatement of Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2017

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in this annual report were restated. In our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, we inadvertently presented the gain on the sale of GMD under “Gain from the sale of investments” in error and, accordingly, we have restated our 2017 income statement and the related notes to reflect GMD as a discontinued operation. The previously issued consolidated financial statements of the company for the 2017 fiscal year (and the related audit opinion) included in the company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017 should not be relied upon. For more information, see note 2.31 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Reclassification

On June 6, 2017, we sold our 89.19% interest in our former subsidiary, GMD. As a result, we present GMD as a discontinued operation in our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. We have reclassified our consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 included in this annual report, to show GMD as a discontinued operation. In addition: (i) on December 4, 2018, we sold our 73.16% interests in each of CAM and CAM Servicios, (ii) on April 11, 2018, we sold our interest in Stracon GyM, and (iii) we are in the process of marketing for sale our subsidiary Adexus. As a result, we present CAM, CAM Servicios and Stracon GyM as discontinued operations, and Adexus as an investment held for sale, in our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. We have reclassified our consolidated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the selected financial information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 included in this annual report, to show CAM, CAM Servicios and Stracon GyM as discontinued operations as Adexus as an investment held for sale.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In 2019, we identified material weaknesses regarding our internal control over financial reporting. For more information, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we cannot maintain effective internal control or provide reliable financial and other information in the future, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our ADSs” and “Item 15. Controls and Procedures.”

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

General

Peruvian, Chilean and Colombian Economic Conditions

72.0%, 86.1% and 84.6% of our revenues in 2017, 2018 and 2019 were derived from activities in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations are substantially affected by economic conditions in the country and our growth is driven in significant part by growth in the Peruvian economy. In addition, 17.3%, 5.8% and 9.5% of our revenues in 2017, 2018 and 2019 were derived from activities in Chile and 4.7%, 8.1% and 5.9% of our revenues in 2017, 2018 and 2019 were derived from activities in Colombia.

The Peruvian real GDP has grown at an average rate of 3.0% during the three years from 2017 to 2019. With increasing disposable income and an expanding middle class, private consumption grew at an average annual rate of 3.1% in real terms from 2017 to 2019. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 private investment increased 0.1%, 2.1% and 0.9%, respectively, in real terms. Inflation in Peru, as measured by the change in the consumer price index, was 1.4% in 2017, 2.2% in 2018 and 1.9% in 2019. The sol appreciated versus the U.S. dollar by 3.3% in 2017, depreciated by 4.0% in 2018 and 1.8% in 2019. Peru’s sovereign debt has been rated investment grade by S&P, Fitch and Moody’s. At the end of 2019, Peruvian sovereign debt had one of the highest credit ratings in the South American region, rated BBB+ by S&P (August 2013) and Fitch (September 2019) and A3 by Moody’s (June 2019).

The Chilean economy grew at an average annual rate of 2.2% during the three years from 2017 to 2019 in real terms. Total fixed investment increased at an annual average rate of 3.3% in real terms during the three years from 2017 to 2019. Inflation in Chile, as measured by the change in the consumer price index, was 2.3% in 2017, 2.6% in 2018 and 3.0% in 2019. The Chilean peso appreciated versus the U.S. dollar by 7.8% in 2017 and depreciated by 12.8% in 2018 and 5.5% in 2019. Chilean sovereign debt has the highest rating in the South America region, rated A+ by S&P (July 2017), A1 by Moody’s (July 2018) and A by Fitch (March 2020).

The Colombian real GDP grew at an average annual rate of 2.4% during the three years from 2017 to 2019. Inflation in Colombia was 4.1% in 2017, 3.1% in 2018 and 3.8% in 2019. The Colombian peso appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 0.6% in 2017 and depreciated by 7.5% in 2018 and 0.8% in 2019. Colombia’s sovereign debt was rated BBB by Fitch (April 2020), BBB- by S&P (March 2020), and Baa2 by Moody’s (May 2019).

From 2015 to 2019 our revenues declined at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%, excluding acquisitions and asset sales. Our organic revenues increased 6.7% in 2019 from 2018, principally as a result of higher activity levels in our E&C segment in 2019.

Fluctuations in Exchanges Rates

We estimate that in 2019, 52%, 35% and 13% of our revenues were denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies respectively, while 64%, 15% and 21% of our cost of sales during the year were denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, 70%, 27% and 3% of our total debt was denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies, respectively. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of these currencies can materially affect our results of operations. When the sol appreciates against the U.S. dollar, our operating margins tend to decrease; when the sol depreciates against the U.S. dollar, our operating margins tend to increase (if everything else were held equal). Conversely, the appreciation of the sol against the U.S. dollar tends to

 

112


Table of Contents

decrease our indebtedness and financial expenses as expressed in soles; and the depreciation of the sol against the U.S. dollar tends to increase our indebtedness and financial expenses as expressed in soles. We enter into derivatives, from time to time, to hedge part of our financial exposure to currency fluctuations. Although value of the sol to the U.S. dollar appreciated in 2017, it depreciated in 2018 and 2019, which impacted our results of operations.

We have included estimates of the approximate effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on our consolidated and segment revenues and costs of sales in “—Results of Operations.” These estimates were calculated based on daily average exchange rates and estimated aggregate revenues and cost of sales denominated in U.S. dollars, Chilean pesos and Colombian pesos, and were not calculated on a transaction by transaction basis. For additional information on the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Exchange Rate Risk.”

Cost of Labor, Third-Party Services and Inputs

The largest components of our costs are: labor, which represented 27.7% of our cost of sales and 54.9% of our administrative expenses in 2019; services provided by third parties, which represented 39.1% of our cost of sales and 27.5% of our administrative expenses in 2019; and inputs (including raw materials), which represented 22.2% of our cost of sales in 2019. For a breakdown of our cost of sales and administrative expenses, see note 26 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Our cost of labor is influenced by, among other factors, the number of our employees, as well as inflation, competition we face for personnel in each of our business segments and the availability of qualified candidates. From 2017 to 2018 our personnel charges decreased by 15.2%, and from 2018 to 2019 our personnel charges increased by 15.8%. Services provided by third parties include: subcontracting in our E&C segment, such as carpentry work; advisory and consultancy work, including external audit and legal services; and renting of equipment. From 2017 to 2018 our costs related to services provided by third parties decreased by 15.4% and from 2018 to 2019 our costs related to services provided by third parties increased by 29.8%. The principal inputs we use are fuel, cement and steel, which in the aggregate represented 18.9% of our total input costs in 2019. Our costs for these inputs are affected by, among other factors, the growth or decline of our operations, market prices, including global prices in the case of fuel, and transportation costs. We do not have long-term contracts for the supply of our key inputs. From 2017 to 2018, our input costs decreased by 40%, and from 2018 to 2019, our input costs increased by 13.3%. Our cost of labor, third party services and inputs increased in 2019 primarily due to higher activity levels in our E&C segment.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

In September 2015, we acquired a 20% participation in the shareholder’s equity of Gasoducto Sur Peruano, the concessionaire of the southern gas pipeline project for a total of US$215 million (S/722 million). In addition, our subsidiary GyM participated with a 29% stake in the construction consortium for this project (Consorcio Ductos del Sur), which represented approximately US$1.0 billion of our backlog as of December 31, 2015. The GSP gas pipeline concession was terminated on January 24, 2017, and as a result, we recognized impairments with respect to our investment in GSP and account receivables owed to us from GSP in 2016 and 2019. For more information, see “ —Recent Developments (2017 – 2020) — Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession.”

In order to make payments on our debt related to the GSP project and strengthen our liquidity and financial flexibility, we sold several assets between 2017 and 2018. For a detailed description of the sale of these assets, see “—Recent Developments (2017 – 2020)— Asset Sales.”

Cyclicality

Our E&C segment is cyclical as a result of being closely linked to the conditions, performance and growth of the end-markets we serve, which include, among others, the mining, power, oil and gas, transportation, real estate and other infrastructure sectors in Peru, as well as the mining sector in Chile and, the energy sector in Colombia. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and tend to be affected by factors such as macroeconomic conditions, climate conditions, the level of private and public investment, the availability of credit, changes in laws and regulations and political and social stability. As a result, although downturns impact our entire company, our E&C segment has

 

113


Table of Contents

historically been subject to periods of very high and low demand. The mining and oil and gas sectors, in particular, are also driven by worldwide demand for the underlying commodities, including, among others, silver, gold, copper, oil and gas, which can be affected by such other factors as global economic conditions and geopolitical affairs. Furthermore, prevailing prices and expectations about future prices for minerals or oil and gas, costs of exploration, production and delivery of product and similar factors can have a significant impact on our clients’ exploration and production activities and, as a result, on their demand for our engineering and construction services.

Our Real Estate segment is also cyclical and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic conditions, such as employment levels and job growth, availability of financing for home buyers, interest rates, foreclosure rates, inflation, consumer confidence and housing demand. In addition, in our Infrastructure segment, our Energy line of business is cyclical and affected by global supply and demand for oil.

Seasonality

Our business, on a consolidated basis, has not historically experienced seasonality. In our Infrastructure segment, we have experienced moderate seasonality at (i) Norvial, due to heightened vehicular traffic activity during the summer season in the first quarter of the year, and (ii) GMP’s gas processing plant, which typically closes for maintenance during the rainy season in the first quarter of the year, as demand for gas is lower during this time.

Engineering and Construction

The principal driver of our E&C results is economic growth in Peru, particularly private and public investment in the country’s mining, power, oil and gas, transportation, real estate and other infrastructure sectors. See —Peruvian and Chilean Economic Conditions.

Appropriate pricing and budgeting of our engineering and construction projects is also key to our results of operations in our E&C segment and can be affected by such factors as competition, direct negotiations with clients as opposed to competitive bidding processes, the accuracy of our estimation of project costs and unexpected cost overruns. The types of contracts in this segment consist of cost-plus fee, unit price, lump-sum and EPC contracts. For a description of our E&C contracts, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Engineering and Construction—Contracts.” The nature of our contractual arrangements can affect our margins, both because, depending on the type of contract, the burden of cost overruns may be placed on the client or on us, and because certain contractual arrangements tend to have lower gross margins. For the years 2017 and 2018, our E&C segment has trended towards more contractual arrangements based on cost-plus fee EPC contracts. For the 2019 year, our E&C segment has trended towards more contractual arrangements based on unit prices. The types of contractual arrangements we enter into in our E&C segment vary significantly from period to period.

During 2017, activity levels in our E&C segment remained low as a result of the cancellation of the GSP and Chavimochic projects, and also due to the ending of the bioenergy Zona Franca project in Colombia. The activity levels in 2017 in the E&C segment were affected by political and other issues.

During 2018, activity levels in our E&C segment decreased as a result of the divestment plan executed by our company. In April 2018, our subsidiary GyM sold its 87.59% interest in Stracon GyM, our subsidiary that engaged contracts mining services in Perú. We also experienced lower activity levels in our business units engaged in electromechanical and civil works.

During 2019, activity levels in our E&C segment increased as a result of the execution of construction contracts in the mining and oil and gas sectors, primarily in Peru. We also experienced higher activity levels in our building and infrastructure units.

Infrastructure

Traffic and Fees for Toll Roads

The majority of our toll roads revenues derive from the Norvial concession. Unlike our other toll road concessions, our revenues from the Norvial concession depend on traffic volume. Traffic volume on the Norvial road increased 6.3% from 2017 to 2018 and 1.8% from 2018 to 2019 (based on vehicle equivalents, as defined in “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Infrastructure—Principal Infrastructure Activities—Toll Roads—Norvial”). For the Norvial toll road, the toll rate is set out in the Norvial concession agreement and adjusted in accordance with a contractual formula that takes into account the sol/U.S. dollar exchange rate and Peruvian and United States inflation. Under our Survial and Canchaque road concessions, our revenues consist of annual fees paid by the Peruvian Ministry of Transport and Communications in consideration for the operation and maintenance of the roads, which can vary depending on the amount of road maintenance required due to road wear and tear.

Under the Norvial concession, we are required to expand certain stretches of the highway by, among other things, adding two additional lanes. The first stage of construction was completed in 2008 and the second stage was completed in December 2019. Norvial’s capital investment for the second stage was approximately US$95 million (S/319.2 million). In June 2018, we signed an investment agreement with BCI Perú to monetize future dividends of Norvial. The amount of the transaction was US$42.3 million, the proceeds of which were applied to the reduction of indebtedness related to GSP.

Mass Transit

We generate revenue from our Lima Metro concession based on kilometers travelled per train, with the fee per kilometer, the number of trains required to be in operation and the number of kilometers that we are required to travel established by the terms of the concession. Our revenues do not depend on passenger traffic volume. Our results in this concession between 2017 and 2019 were influenced by the timely acquisition, set up, reliability and proper operation of our trains. We currently have all 44 trains in operation (including three backup trains).

Energy

A part of the revenues in our Infrastructure segment depends on global prices for oil. Under our hydrocarbon extraction service contracts, we are entitled to a variable fee, which is based on the level of production of each field and a basket of international crude oil prices. Under our contracts, we acquire the extracted hydrocarbons and pay royalties, which are also based on a basket of international crude prices and the level of production. Historically, oil prices have been volatile and are likely to be volatile again in the future. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, average Brent crude prices were approximately US$53.02, US$69.69 and US$64.26 per barrel, and the average fee we received in these years was US$49.19, US$64.72 and US$63.11 per barrel of extracted oil, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020, the Brent crude price was approximately US$50.26 per barrel and our fee was approximately US$49.02 per barrel of extracted oil. Because our activities are conducted in mature oil fields, which have been producing oil for over 100 years in the case of Block I, approximately 100 years in the case of Block III, approximately 95 years in the case of Block IV and for over 50 in the case of years Block V, our oil production depends primarily on the level of our drilling and production activities.

Our Pariñas gas processing plant has a long-term delivery and gas processing and fractionation contract with Empresa Eléctrica de Piura S.A. (ENEL), a thermal power generation subsidiary of the Endesa group. Under this contract, ENEL delivers natural gas that it purchases from onshore and offshore gas producers in the Talara area. We are responsible for all operating costs of the gas processing plant but are entitled to keep revenues from the sale of all resulting natural gas liquids to third parties after delivery of all dry gas and payment of a variable royalty to ENEL. Approximately 75% of the total volume of natural gas processed by our Pariñas gas processing plant depend upon gas volumes demanded by ENEL for its gas-fired turbines, which can vary significantly. 15% of the volume of natural gas is extracted from our Block I. Prices for natural gas liquids can also fluctuate significantly and are affected by market prices for crude oil. We processed 30.57 MMcf per day during 2017, 30.12 MMcf per day during 2018 and 30.52 MMcf per day during 2019. These volumes vary per month and depend upon the power dispatch curve of ENEL among Peruvian power generation plants. In rainy months (December to April) where hydroelectric power generation in Peru is typically higher, gas volumes demanded by ENEL are lower than in dryer months (May to November) in which activity of thermal generators tends to be higher.

Table of Contents

In connection with our fuel storage terminal business, under three operation contracts with Petroperú, we receive revenues related to monthly reserved volume in storage tanks for refined crude products (storage fee) and for volumes loaded and delivered into railroad cars or cistern trucks to each terminal (throughput fee). These fees are adjusted annually to account for U.S. inflation. Our fuel storage activities in the North and Central Terminals are carried out under 20-year contracts, which expire in 2034. Our contract for the operation of the South Terminal expired on November 2, 2019.

Awarding and Timing of Infrastructure Concessions and Government Contracts

The results of operations of our Infrastructure segment are affected by our ability to win new concessions and government contracts, which depend in part on government policies and our ability to compete effectively.

We are a 50% partner in Consorcio Terminales, which held a concession for the operation of the South Terminal. In November 2018, Petroperú initiated a public bidding for the operation of the South Terminal, which was cancelled by Petroperú in May 2019. There was no winner in the public bidding for the operation of the terminal, and the contract of Consorcio Terminales was extended through contract amendments, the latest of which terminated on November 2, 2019, and the concession reverted to Petroperú.

Moreover, our results in the operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets depend on our ability to obtain contracts from the government or infrastructure concessionaires, such as those in our Infrastructure segment, which depend on government policies and our ability to compete effectively. In 2017, we were awarded two new contracts (Cora Cora and C.V. Pasco, also with Provías Nacional). We typically obtain higher revenues from these contracts during the commencement of services as we bring the road to proper operating condition, and lower revenues at the end of the contract term as services wind down.

Our results in our Infrastructure segment are also affected by the timing of the commencement of operations under our concessions, as well as when we were required to undertake significant capital investments or major construction works under the terms of our concessions. Under our Norvial and Lima Metro concessions, we are required to undertake capital investments during the initial years of the concessions for which we are compensated throughout the term of the concessions by our toll rate in the case of the Norvial concession and tariffs in the case of the Lima Metro concession. Under our Survial, Canchaque and La Chira concessions, we generate revenues in our Infrastructure segment from our construction activities during the pre-operational phase, and once operations commence we generate revenues from fees related to operation and maintenance. Survial, Canchaque and La Chira have financed their construction costs through the sale of government certificates of construction to financial institutions at a discount from face value. Certificates of construction are negotiable instruments that the Peruvian government typically delivers upon completion of each stage of a project and which entitle the holder to receive payment from the government equal to the capital investment made in the corresponding stage upon completion of the entire project. Accordingly, the results of our Infrastructure segment may be affected by the discount rates obtained on the sale of government certificates of construction. For more information on our obligations and compensation under our concessions, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Infrastructure.”

Real Estate

The results of operations of our Real Estate segment are driven by the number of units we develop and deliver in a reporting period, our mix of unit sales (affordable housing versus housing), unit prices, land purchase prices and our costs of construction. These results are also affected by a number of factors that may impact the Peruvian real estate sector as a whole, including: the availability of government subsidies for affordable housing; prices of suitable land in particular areas; regulation of real estate development imposed by national, regional and local laws and regulators, and the time required to obtain applicable construction permits and licenses; the unemployment rate and wage levels; prevailing interest rates and availability of financing; the supply in the market; the level of customer interest in our new projects; and our costs, such as the price of labor, materials, insurance, taxes and other public charges. We delivered 1,418 units, 1,276 units and 1,452 units in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Table of Contents

The results of operations of our Real Estate segment are also significantly affected by our sales of land parcels. Due to the appreciation of land prices in Peru, and because we record our land holdings at book value (i.e., without marking to market), our recent land sales have resulted in high margins. See “—Recent Developments (2017—2020) — Asset Sales.”

In addition, the net profit attributable to controlling interests of our Real Estate segment is significantly affected by the financing and commercial arrangements we use to purchase land and to develop real estate projects. Depending on the level of non-controlling interests used to finance our real estate projects, our Real Estate segment tends to have significant net profit attributable to non-controlling interests. See “—Results of Operations—General—Real Estate.”

Results of Operations

General

Accounting for Subsidiaries, Joint Operations, Joint Ventures and Associated Companies

Results of our subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures and associated companies are reflected in our financial results. We refer to our subsidiaries as those entities over which we exercise control. We consolidate the results of our subsidiaries in our financial statements and we reflect the profit corresponding to the minority interests in our subsidiaries under “profit attributable to non-controlling interests” in our income statement. Our consolidation of the results of our subsidiaries include subsidiaries in which we have less than 50% of the equity. We refer to business activities in which we share control with unrelated entities as joint arrangements, including joint operations and joint ventures, which are typically conducted through an agreement with a third party to carry out specific projects. We contribute our assets to these projects and derive revenue from their use. In our financial statements we recognize, in relation to our interest in a joint operation, our assets and liabilities, including our share of any asset or liability we hold jointly with our partner, as well as our share of revenue and expense from the joint operation. We refer to our associated companies as those entities over which we have significant influence but do not control. We reflect the results of our associated companies and joint ventures under the equity method of accounting in our financial statements under the line item “share of the profit and loss in associates” in our income statement. For further information, including a list of our subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures and associated companies, see notes 6a, 6c and 15 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Intersegment Transactions

Some of our segments from time to time provide services to our other segments. In 2018 and 2019, we obtained 16.7% and 1.06%, respectively, of the revenues in our E&C segment from the construction of the expansion works of Line 1 at GyM Ferrovías, and 30% and 4.47%, respectively, of the revenues in our E&C segment from additional construction works executed for Norvial (Ancón – Pativilca Toll Road). Accordingly, in such circumstances, the segment providing services recognizes revenues and the segment receiving such services recognizes costs of sales relating to the services provided. In consolidation, these intersegment revenues and cost of sales are eliminated in our financial results. Nonetheless, our Infrastructure segment, in particular, may recognize gross profits or losses based on the difference between the fees the segment charges in accordance with concession terms and costs it incurs relating to services provided by our other segments. For more information on our segments, see note 7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Engineering and Construction

We obtain revenues in our E&C segment from the engineering and construction services we provide to our clients, which we recognize under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. For further information, see note 2.26 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. We receive unrestricted client advances in a substantial majority of our E&C projects, on average equal to approximately 20% of the contract price in 2019, which we record as an account payable. We typically invoice our clients on a periodic basis as each project progresses, deducting from the related advances on a proportional basis. For further information, see note 21 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. Our cost of sales in our E&C segment includes labor, subcontractor expenses, materials, equipment, and project-specific general expenses.

Infrastructure

In our Infrastructure segment, we recognize revenues and cost of sales as follows:

(1) Toll Roads:

 

   

For Norvial, we obtain revenues for toll fees collected, minus deductions required to be transferred to the government as described in “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Infrastructure—Principal Infrastructure Activities—Toll Roads—Norvial,” which we recognize upon receipt. In June 2018, we signed an investment agreement with BCI Perú, to monetize future dividends of Norvial. The amount of the transaction was US$42.3 million, the proceeds of which were applied to the reduction of indebtedness related to GSP. Cost of sales for Norvial include fees paid to third parties (primarily our subsidiary Concar) for operation and maintenance services as well as the amortization of the road concession registered as an intangible asset in our financial statements; and

 

   

For Survial and Canchaque, we obtain revenues for routine and periodic maintenance services, which we recognize in the period in which the services are performed. Cost of sales for Survial and Canchaque include fees paid to third parties (primarily our subsidiary Concar) for operation and maintenance services. We do not recognize the Survial and Canchaque concessions as intangible assets and therefore do not amortize the concessions.

For further information, see notes 2.26, 2.27 and 17 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

(2) Mass Transit: We obtain revenues from our Lima Metro concession based on a tariff per kilometer traveled by our trains in operation in accordance with a schedule established in our concession agreement, which we recognize in the period in which the services are performed. Under the concession, the tariff is comprised of three components: (i) fees related to our operation and maintenance services; (ii) fees related to the Peruvian government’s repayment of the amounts we invest to purchase trains, ongoing capital expenditures and other infrastructure for the Peruvian government; and (iii) fees related to interest we charge to the Peruvian government in connection with the amounts we invest to purchase such trains, ongoing capital expenditures and other infrastructure. In 2019, the fees related to items (i), (ii) and (iii) were S/289.9 million. We only recognize in our income statement the portion of the tariff that relates to items (i) and (iii). We record the amounts paid by us that relate to item (ii) as long-term accounts receivables from the Peruvian government. Accordingly, tariff payments received relating to item (ii) reduce our accounts receivables but do not impact our income statement, and we do not amortize our investments in our income statement as our investment in the concession is recorded as an account receivable with the government rather than a depreciable investment.

We entered into the fourth addendum to the Lima Metro concession contract on July 11, 2016, in order to expand transportation capacity. In accordance with the fourth addendum, the expansion project will involve: (i) the purchase of 20 new trains; (ii) the purchase of 39 new cars; and (iii) the improvement and expansion of the existing infrastructure. As compensation for the investments of the expansion project, we will be entitled to receive the following: (i) an advance payment of 30% of each investment component; and (ii) the balance of 70% of each

investment component, compensated through the annual payment for additional investments (pago anual por inversiones complementarias). We register the estimated compensation related to the direct cost in the income statement, plus a margin in the same period. In 2019, the income related to the investment components was S/37.8 million.

For further information, see note 11 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. Cost of sales for the Lima Metro include fees paid to third parties (primarily our E&C segment, our subsidiary Concar and other subcontractors) for construction and operation and maintenance services, energy, and our financing costs related to the purchase of trains.

(3) Water Treatment: We obtained revenues from the engineering design and construction of La Chira waste water treatment plant, which we recognize based on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Since the plant began operating in August 2016, we obtain revenues only for operation and maintenance services, which we recognize in the period in which the services are performed.

(4) Energy: We obtain revenues from extraction services and license contracts related to oil and gas production, fuel storage services, and the sale of natural gas liquids derived from our gas processing and fractionation services, which we recognize in the period in which the services are performed and, in the case of sale of natural gas liquids, when the sale is made. Cost of sales for our energy line of business includes labor, materials, amortization of oil wells, depreciation of the gas plant, maintenance and general expenses.

(5) Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets: We obtain revenues from our operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets line of business for the operation and maintenance services we provide to the government and concessionaires (currently concessions within our Infrastructure segment), which we recognize in the period in which the services are performed. We receive unrestricted advances with respect to our service contracts with the government, that vary from approximately 10% to 30% of the contract price, which we record as an account payable. We typically invoice our clients on a periodic basis as the project progresses, deducting from the related advances on a proportional basis. For further information, see note 20 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. Our cost of sales in this line of business includes personnel costs, services provided by third parties, machinery and other materials (primarily trucks), and depreciation of equipment utilized to provide services.

Real Estate

We obtain revenues in our Real Estate segment from sales of affordable housing and housing units, commercial buildings and land parcels, which we recognize at the time of delivery of the unit or building and, in the case of land parcels, at the time of the sale. We typically pre-sell our affordable housing and housing units prior to and during construction, and use the related proceeds we receive to finance the construction of the units. These pre-sale funds are restricted and released from escrow to us periodically as construction progresses. Our Real Estate cost of sales includes the cost to purchase land, costs of architectural design and construction (which usually includes payments to third parties, primarily our E&C segment), licensing and permit costs, personnel costs, and fees to third parties related to sanitation or electrical engineering. In 2019, our cost of land that is allocated to units delivered during these periods amounted to S/32 million. We recognize land purchases as inventory, and, accordingly, do not mark-to-market the value of our land for changes in fair value. For further information, see note 14 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

In our Real Estate segment, we have significant net profit attributable to non-controlling interests. We hold a significant portion of our land bank through Almonte in which we have a 50.45% interest, and we consolidate Almonte’s results in our financial statements. In addition, we undertake a significant number of our real estate projects through entities in which we may have a majority interest, co-equal interest or minority interest; when we have control over these entities, we consolidate their results in our financial statements regardless of whether we own a majority of the capital. Furthermore, in connection with our affordable housing projects, we generally partner with real estate investment funds and insurance companies that provide between 60% and 70% of the total capital required to purchase the land and cover certain pre-construction costs in exchange for equity in the project. Although we typically own a minority interest in these projects, we consolidate their results in our financial statements because we exercise control over the project. Accordingly, we reflect the profit corresponding to our real estate partners under net profit attributable to non-controlling interests in our income statement. See “—Accounting for Subsidiaries, Joint Operations, Joint Ventures and Associated Companies.”

Revenues

Our total revenues increased by 4.8%, or S/185.5 million, from S/3,899.5 million for 2018 to S/4,085.0 million for 2019. Revenues increased due to an increase in the volume of projects under execution in the E&C segment. This was partially offset by: a decrease in revenues from the Infrastructure segment due to the completion of the expansion works of Line One of the Lima Metro, and a reduction of maintenance works by Concar; a decrease of revenues in the Real Estate segment as a consequence of fewer units of traditional housing delivered during the year, and the absence of land sales from the Almonte property during 2019.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenues by segment for 2018 and 2019.

Cost of Sales

Our total cost of sales increased by 13%, or S/418.2 million, from S/3,225 million for 2018 to S/3,643.2 million for 2019. This increase is mainly due to revenue growth, plus other additional costs associated with one project in Peru in which we have an arbitration claim against the client, and cost overruns with respect to a project in Chile.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased by 34.5%, or S/232.7 million, from S/674.5 million for 2018 to S/441.8 million for 2019. Our gross margin (i.e., gross profit as a percentage of revenues) for 2019 was 10.8%, compared to 17.3% for 2018.

Administrative Expenses

Our administrative expenses decreased by 23.2%, or S/64.5 million, from S/278.4 million for 2018 to S/213.9 million for 2019. This decrease is mainly due to the reduction of legal services provided by third parties, and the reduction of expenses from the sale of assets. As a percentage of revenues, our administrative expenses decreased to 5.2% in 2019, from 7.1% in 2018.

Other Income (Expenses)

Our other income (expenses) decreased by 430.9%, or S/263.7 million, from S/61.2 million in expenses for 2018 to S/324.9 million in expenses for 2019. In 2018, our other income (expenses) included a provision related to the potential civil compensation in favor of the Peruvian state that may be required to pay in connection with the investigations related to the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II) and Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro in which our company and GyM have been included as civilly-responsible third parties as described under “Item 8A. Financial Information—Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Information—Legal and Administrative Proceedings.” In 2019, our other income (expenses) included: (i) impairments with respect to our investment in GSP in the amount of S/501.7 million (US$151.3 million) with respect to our investment in GSP and our accounts receivable from GSP as a result of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession; (ii) an impairment of S/33.1 million (US$10.0 million) with respect to goodwill we recognized in connection with our acquisition of Morelco; (iii) a re-valuation of the Vial & Vives-DSD brand by S/10.7 million due to the increased backlog of Vial & Vives-DSD during 2019; (iv) impairments of certain minor investments of S/35.2 million (US$ 10.6 million), (v) a reversal of S/19.4 million (US$5.8 million) of the impairment of the investment in the Ancon project that was registered at the end of 2018; (vi) a provision of an additional S/77.4 million (US$23.3 million) for civil compensation in favor of the Peruvian state pursuant to Law 30737 in connection with ongoing corruption investigations in respect of the company; (vii) provisions of S/49.8 million (US$15 million) made in respect of the class action civil lawsuit against the company; and (viii) other minor adjustments of S/57.9 million (US$14.5 million).

Operating Profit

Our operating profit decreased 129.5%, or S/433.7 million, from operating profit of S/334.8 million for 2018 to operating loss of S/(98.9) million for 2019. Our operating margin (i.e., operating profit as a percentage of revenues) was (2.4)% for 2019, compared to 8.6% for 2018. The decrease in operating margin is primarily a result of the increase in Other income (expenses) explained above.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our operating profit by segment for 2018 and 2019.

The breakdown of E&C revenues by different business activities, types of contracts and end-markets tends to vary from period to period due to a variety of factors, including the timing of the execution of larger projects in any particular period, which is typically outside of our control.

Gross Profit. Our E&C gross profit increased 58.5%, or S/36.3 million, from S/62.1 million for 2018 to S/98.4 million for 2019. Our E&C gross margin for 2019 was 3.5%, compared to 3.2% for 2018.

Other income (expenses). Other income (expenses) increased in our E&C segment, from S/13.5 million in expenses for 2018 to S/9.9 million in expenses for 2019. For 2019, this includes the sale of machinery and equipment, an impairment in respect of goodwill in Morelco and the recovery of an impairment with respect to the Vial y Vives DSD brand. See note 28 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Operating Profit (loss). Our E&C operating profit increased S/54.4 million, from a S/87.5 million loss for 2018 to a S/33.1 million loss for 2019. Our E&C operating margin was (1.2)% for 2019, compared to (4.5)% for 2018.

Toll Roads: a 16.2%, or S/45.5 million, increase in revenues, from S/280.8 million for 2018 to S/326.3 million for 2019, primarily due to the expansion works completed in 2019 and increased amounts of traffic, partially offset by fewer maintenance works effected in other roads;

 

   

Mass Transit: a 32.1%, or S/188.4 million, decrease in revenues, from S/586.3 million for 2018 to S/397.9 million for 2019, primarily due to the completion of construction works of infrastructure expansion (which primarily impacted our results during 2018), partially offset by additional kilometers travelled by the new trains under operation;

Energy: a 1.4%, or S/7.9 million, decrease in revenues, from S/560.5 million for 2018 to S/552.6 for 2019, primarily due to the decrease in the price of oil from US$69.29 in 2018 to US$63.11 in 2019 and the results in our fuel terminals business (3.57 MM barrels in storage per month in 2019 versus 3.9 MM barrels in storage per month in 2018, and 3.01 MM barrels dispatched per month in 2019 versus 3.35 MM barrels dispatched per month in 2018), partially offset by an increase in our barrel daily production 4,064 barrel daily production in 2019 versus 3,651 barrel daily production in 2018. Additionally, gas processing levels in our gas processing plant were slightly higher at (30.52 MMcf per day in 2019 versus 30.12 MMcf per day in 2018), and the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) decreased from US$59.36 in 2018 to US$47.86 in 2019. The price of HAS (CGN) increased from US$59.36 in 2018 to US$69.55 in 2019;

 

   

Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets: a 32.1%, or S/145.3 million, decrease in revenues, from S/452.3 million for 2018 to S/307 million for 2019, due to fewer maintenance works during 2019 as a result of the fulfillment of periodic maintenance of Chuquibambilla and Chinchaypujio roads in 2018; and

 

   

Water Treatment: a 9.1%, or S/0.30 million, increase in revenues, from S/3.3 million for 2018 to S/3.6 for 2019, primarily due to the larger volume of treated wastewater during 2019 compared to 2018.

Our Infrastructure gross profit decreased 7.5%, or S/26.2 million, from S/350.6 million for 2018 to S/324.4 million for 2019. Our Infrastructure gross margin was 18.6% for 2018 and 20.4% for 2019. The variation in our Infrastructure gross profit principally reflected the following:

 

   

Toll Roads: a 16.7%, or S/11.8 million, decrease in gross profit, from S/70.5 million for 2018 to S/58.7 million for 2019. Our toll roads gross margin decreased from 25.1% for 2018 to 18% for 2019, as a consequence of lower execution of periodic maintenance works;

 

   

Mass Transit: a 2.5%, or S/3.1 million, decrease in gross profit, from S/122.6 million for 2018 to S/119.5 million for 2019, primarily due to the completion of expansion works. Our gross margin in 2019 was 30.0%, compared to 20.9% in 2018.

 

   

Energy: a 10.0%, or S/12.1 million, decrease in gross profit, from S/120.4 million for 2018 to S/108.3 million for 2019, primarily due to the decrease in the price of oil from US$69.29 in 2018 to US$63.11 in 2019, and the price of LPG from US$52.98 in 2018 to US$41.06 in 2019. Our energy gross margin was 19.6% for 2019, compared to 21.5% for 2018;

 

   

Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets: a 2.5%, or S/0.9 million, increase in gross profit, from S/36.6 million for 2018 to S/37.5 for 2019, due to efficiencies implemented in Line One of the Lima Metro.

Our Infrastructure operating profit decreased 28.2%, or S/79.9 million, from S/283.0 million for 2018 to S/203.1 million for 2019. Our Infrastructure operating margin was 12.8% for 2019, compared to 15.0% for 2018. The variation in our Infrastructure operating profit principally reflected the following:

 

   

Toll Roads: a 48.3%, or S/28.7 million, decrease in operating profit, from S/59.4 million for 2018 to S/30.7 million for 2019, primarily due to the lower execution of periodic maintenance works and the impairment of our investment in the Vía Expresa Sur concession. Our toll roads operating margin was 9.4% for 2019, compared to 21.2% for 2018;

 

   

Mass Transit: a 10.7%, or S/11.8 million, decrease in operating profit, from an operating profit of S/110.6 million for 2018 to an operating profit of S/98.8 million for 2019, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit and the increase in administrative expenses as a consequence of an increase in services provided by third parties, expenses associated with an extension of train service hours, and an administrative penalty due to a failure in the electric system of our trains in 2019. Our mass transit operating margin for 2019 was 14.8%, compared to 20.7% in 2018;

 

   

Energy: a 15.9%, or S/16.0 million, decrease in operating profit, from S/100.7 million for 2018 to S/84.7 million for 2019, primarily due to an increase in administrative expenses as a consequence of an increase in services provided by third parties related to IT, accounting and tax consultancy. Our energy operating margin was 15.3% for 2019, compared to 18.0% for 2018;

 

   

Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets: a 192.6%, or S/23.3 million, decrease in operating profit, from a S/12.1 million profit for 2018 to a S/11.2 million loss for 2019, primarily due to the provision in 2019 for civil compensation in favor of the Peruvian state under Law 30737 in connection with the “construction club” investigation. See “Item 5.A.—Recent Developments (2017-2020)—Emergency Decree and Subsequent Legislation” and “Item 8A. Financial Information—Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Information—Legal and Administrative Proceedings”. Our Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Assets operating margin was (3.6%) for 2019, compared to 2.7% for 2018; and

 

   

Water Treatment: a 66.7%, or S/0.2 million, decrease in operating profit, from an operating profit of S/0.3 in 2018 to an operating profit of S/0.1 in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in gross profit and the increase of administrative expenses in 2019, as a consequence of extraordinary expenses for studies made for a potential expansion of the water treatment plant. Our water treatment operating margin for 2019 was 2.8%, compared to 9.1% for 2018.

Operating profit

     235.3        68.8        (70.8 )% 

Revenues. Our Real Estate revenues decreased 58.0%, or S/365.7 million, from S/630.1 million for 2018 to S/264.4 million for 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the sale in 2018 of land of our subsidiary Almonte, which resulted in reduced our sales from S/311 million in 2018 to S/35 million in 2019. On the other hand, there were more units delivered in 2019 (1,450 units in 2019, compared to 1,278 units in 2018).

Gross Profit. Our Real Estate gross profit decreased 75.4%, or S/217.2 million, from S/288.0 million for 2018 to S/70.8 million for 2019, mainly as a result of the sale of land by Almonte in 2018. Our Real Estate gross margin was 26.8% for 2019, compared to 45.7% for 2018.

Operating Profit. Our Real Estate operating profit decreased 70.8%, or S/166.5 million, from S/235.3 million for 2018 to S/68.8 for 2019, primarily due to the sale of land by Almonte in 2018.

Financial (Expense) Income, Net

Our net financial expense decreased 79.7%, or S/40.0 million, from net financial expenses of S/197.1 million in 2018 to net financial expenses of S/157.1 in 2019. Excluding foreign exchange differences, our net financial expense decreased 28.4%, or S/49.2 million, from net financial expense of S/173.8 million for 2018 to net financial expense of S/124.5 million for 2019, mainly due to the repayment of the debt associated to GSP project and the working capital debt of the expansion works of Line One of the Lima Metro. Our net exchange difference increased S/9.3 million, from a loss of S/23.3 million for 2018 to a loss of S/32.6 for 2019. This increase in losses is due to appreciation of the sol and the composition of assets and liabilities in dollars.

Share of Profit and Loss in Associates

Our share of profit and loss in associates decreased S/215.1 million, from a loss of S/3.7 million in 2018 to a loss of S/218.8 million in 2019, primarily due to the impairment of our investment in GSP.

Income Tax

Our income tax increased S/206.7 million, from S/113.3 million for 2018 to S/320.0 million for 2019. This increase in income tax was primarily due to a write-off of the deferred income tax asset associated with our investment in GSP. Our effective tax rates for 2018 and 2019 were 84.6% and 67.4%, respectively. See note 29 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Net Profit

Our net profit decreased S/896.3 million, from a S/57.5 million profit in 2018 to a S/838.8 million loss for 2019. Net profit attributable to controlling interests decreased, while net profit attributable to non-controlling interests decreased S/ 94.5 million. Net profit attributable to controlling interests decreased primarily due to the impairment of our investment in GSP and the discount applied to GSP’s account receivable in respect of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession and an additional provision made in respect of the class action civil lawsuit against the company.

Comparison of Results of Operations of 2017 and 2018

For information regarding the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, See “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results——Results of Operations Comparison of Results of Operations of 2017 and 2018” in our company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows from operating activities and, to a lesser extent, equity capitalization and indebtedness. Our principal uses of cash (other than in connection with our operating activities) have historically been capital expenditures in all our business segments, including acquisitions and investments in our infrastructure concessions, servicing of our debt, and payment of dividends.

We face significant liquidity constraints as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since mid-March of 2020, substantially all of our engineering and construction and real estate projects have been mandatorily shut down, and we cannot assure you when we will be able to resume work on these projects. Our infrastructure operations, which have for the most part been declared essential businesses, have continued; however, certain of our infrastructure businesses have been adversely affected by the sharp decline in traffic volumes and oil and gas prices (also due to the dispute in March among OPEC member countries).

At December 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents totaled S/949.0 million (US$286.1 million), and at March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately S/973.3 million (US$282.8 million), of which S/531.7 (US$154.5 million) constitutes reserved funds, which funds are held in trusts for purposes of the group’s engineering and construction, real estate and infrastructure projects and certain of the group’s outstanding bonds. For more information, see note 9 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

We are evaluating several measures to reduce expenses and preserve cash in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the following: (i) developing a 12-week cash plan, project-by-project, to ensure that the Company will continue to meet its critical obligations during that period, which plan is monitored and updated weekly; (ii) preparing a cash plan for the remainder of the 2020 fiscal year, to identify in advance key liquidity issues that may arise; (iii) identifying and renegotiating certain of the company’s obligations with respect to its suppliers, banks and other third parties; (iv) identifying and reducing non-essential general expenses across the group; (v) reducing headcount, and temporarily reducing salaries of senior management, across the company’s three segments; and (vi) reducing capital expenditures across the company’s subsidiaries.

As part of our strategy, we are exploring additional financing alternatives and evaluating potential asset sales. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing or sell assets on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to postpone our payments to banks, to obtain additional financing, or to sell additional assets, the company’s financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As a result of the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession in January 2017, we renegotiated three debt instruments as follows: (i) we amended the terms of our syndicated loan related to our equity investment in GSP; (ii) we repaid our proportional guarantee of the GSP bridge loan and entered a new term loan; and (iii) we amended the terms of our proportional repayment obligations under the GSP performance guarantee. In order to strengthen our liquidity and financial flexibility, our board approved the sale of non-strategic assets. These instruments have been repaid in full. See “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments—Debt Related to GSP.”

On November 6, 2018, our company’s general meeting of shareholders and board of directors approved an offering and sale of our company’s common shares in a private placement. Accordingly, in December 2018, our company issued and sold a total of 69,380,402 common shares to certain of our company’s existing shareholders that exercised preemptive rights in accordance with Peruvian law and a private placement. Additionally, on April 2, 2019, our company issued and sold 142,483,633 common shares pursuant to the private placement, of which: (i) 55,291,877 shares were paid in full and (ii) 87,191,786 shares were paid 50% at the time, with 50% paid subsequently on July 1, 2019. In total, our company issued and sold 211,864,065 common shares, with the proceeds amounting to US$130 million to use to reduce debt, to pay our vendors and for working capital of one of our company’s subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

We have outstanding credit with various financial institutions for a total amount of US$684.3 million as of December 31, 2019 to secure performance under our contractual agreements. However, our banks have currently restricted us from taking out further lines of credit to finance new operations, due to the financial circumstances of the company and overall limitations on credit availability in Peru.

The company may face additional liquidity constraints if the Company is required to pay civil or criminal penalties, or any settlement amounts, arising from current or future investigations or civil lawsuits facing the company, depending on the timing of those required payments.

Cash Flows

The table below sets forth certain components of our cash flows for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Net increase (net decrease) in cash

     54.0        117.1        168.3  

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash flow used in operating activities in 2019 was greater than in 2018. For 2019, this reflects the decrease in accounts receivable due to the completion of the expansion work in the Line 1 of the Metro de Lima during 2018.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash flow provided by investing activities in 2019 was lower than in 2018. In 2019, there were no divestments, only minor sales of equipment and machinery and investments in the oil and gas business.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash flow provided by financing activities in 2019 was similar to that of 2018. In 2019, we continued with the reduction of debt, mainly due to the cancelation of working capital debt used for the expansion work of Line One of the Lima Metro and the cancelation of the debt associated with the GSP project. In addition, we completed a capital increase during 2019.

Includes debt held by Vial y Vives—DSD that is denominated in Chilean pesos.

(2)

Does not include our payable to Chubb Insurance Company related to our proportional repayment obligation under the GSP performance guarantee, which was repaid in full on December 6, 2018.

As of March 31, 2020, S/119.6 million (US$36.0 million) of our total indebtedness indicated in the table above has matured or been prepaid, of which S/26.2 million (US$7.9 million) was repaid and S/87.8 million (US$26.5 million) was renewed by extending the maturities. The weighted average interest rate of this renewed indebtedness and additional indebtedness is 7.03%, and the maturity dates range from January 1, 2020 to November 25, 2039.

Set forth below is a description of our material outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2019.

Leasing. As of December 31, 2019, we were party to numerous leasing agreements with several financial institutions which in the aggregate amounted to approximately S/23.0 (US$6.9 million). We entered into such agreements primarily for the purpose of leasing the equipment and other assets necessary to run our operations. Upon maturity of each leasing agreement, we have the option to purchase or return the equipment or assets to the lessor. The amounts owed under these leasing agreements are generally repaid in monthly installments, subject to a minimum guaranteed payment corresponding to the minimum amount for which the equipment or assets could be sold to a third-party.

Citibank, N.A. Secured Loan. Our subsidiary GMP has a secured loan with Citibank, N.A. under a loan agreement dated September 19, 2008 and amended on August 27, 2012, with an outstanding principal amount of S/8.7 million (US$2.6 million) as of December 31, 2019. This loan accrues interest at an annual rate of three month LIBOR plus: (i) 1.70% if, at the installment payment date, the exchange rate between the sol and U.S. dollar remains between S/2.60 to S/2.75 per US$1.00 or (ii) 1.95%, if otherwise. The loan matures in August 2020. The proceeds of the loan were used by our subsidiary GMP to finance the construction, equipment and operation of the Gas Pariñas plant in Talara. The agreement is secured by certain land, equipment and accounts receivable of GMP. The agreement contains certain customary covenants, including restrictions on the ability of GMP to pay dividends if it is in default under the loan and the obligation by GMP to maintain the following financial covenants during the term of the agreement: (a) Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) shall not be greater than 1.50; (b) Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined therein) shall not be less than 1.20; (c) Liquidity Ratio (as defined therein) shall not be less than 1.10; and (d) Debt Coverage Ratio (as defined therein) shall not be greater than 2.20.

Norvial Corporate Bonds. In July 2015, Norvial established its first corporate bond program on the Lima Stock Exchange, for a total amount of S/365 million (US$106.9 million). The first tranche under this program was issued for an amount of S/80 million, due 2020 with an annual interest rate of 6.75%. The second tranche was issued for an amount of S/285 million, due 2027 with an annual interest rate of 8.375%, structured in three disbursements. In July 2015 we received the first disbursement for S/105 million, in January 2016 we received the second disbursement for S/100 million and in July 2016 we received the third disbursement of S/80 million. These bonds are secured by: (i) certain cash flows; (ii) a mortgage on the Norvial concession; (iii) a lien over Norvial shares; (iv) the assignment of Norvial’s rights over a performance bond provided by GMP; and (v) any additional guarantees granted in favor of other secured creditors. The proceeds of these bonds were used to pay S/85 million of debt outstanding under a short-term loan agreement with Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP) for a total S/150 million, and the rest was used to finance the construction of the second stage of Ancon – Huacho Pativilca highway and the value added tax linked to the implementation of the project expenses. As of December 31, 2019, Norvial had S/306 million (US$92 million) outstanding under these bonds.

On February 2015, GyM Ferrovías issued a total of S/629 million (US$184.3 million) Series A Senior Secured VAC-Indexed Notes due 2039, with an annual interest rate of 4.75% plus adjustments for inflation. The bonds are secured by (i) a mortgage on the Lima Metro concession, (ii) a lien on GyM Ferrovías shares, (iii) certain collection rights, (iv) certain cash flows and (v) liens on certain accounts. The proceeds from the issuance were used to repay a short term loan provide by Banco de Crédito del Perú-BCP for S/400 million, funding of the reserve accounts, payment of the issuance expenses, and for the partial repayment of a subordinated loan provided by certain shareholders of GyM Ferrovías to GyM Ferrovías. According to the indenture, in order to make any payment of a subordinated loan or distribute any dividends, our Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined therein) should be at least 1.2x. Under the indenture GyM Ferrovías has to fund the debt service reserve account on a quarterly basis with the equivalent of the amounts due in the next two succeeding interest payment dates. Moreover, the operation and maintenance reserve account must be funded annually with an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of operation and maintenance costs of the corresponding current annual budget. As of December 31, 2019, GyM Ferrovías had S/618 million (US$186.1 million) outstanding under these notes.

Financing of the Expansion Project of the Lima Metro Concession. On August 23, 2017, GyM Ferrovías entered into a US$396 million financing structure with Mizuho Bank, Ltd and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. The particular structure for the expansion project of the Lima Metro involved the securitization of irrevocable and unconditional payment obligations of the Government of Peru (CPAOs), which have been sold by GyM Ferrovías to a borrower under a long-term loan facility. The expansion project included the improvement of civil works and the purchase of additional rolling stock, including trains and cars that were designed, built, operated and maintained by GyM Ferrovías, as concessionaire under the Lima Metro concession. The financing was structured as a long-term loan facility and a working capital facility. We paid the final installment under this financing structure in May 2019.

BCP Loan. In December 2015, our subsidiary GMP and Oiltanking Peru S.A.C. subscribed in equal parts to a medium term loan credit agreement for up to US$100 million with Banco de Crédito del Peru, comprised of (i) a medium term tranche for up to US$70 million (for additional investments) with an annual interest rate of 6.04% and a term of five years, and (ii) a medium term tranche for up to US$30 million (for committed investments) with an annual interest rate of 6.32% and a term of eight years. The tranches of the loan mature in 2024 and 2027, respectively. The proceeds of this loan are to finance Terminales del Perú’s obligations in the operation contracts that it maintains with Petroperú in regards to the Central Terminal (corresponding to the Callao Port), and North Terminals (corresponding to the Etén, Salaverry, Chimbote and Supe Ports). As of December 31, 2019, GMP had US$37.1 million (S/123.0 million) outstanding under this loan.

Syndicated Loan. In December 2015 we entered into a medium term loan credit agreement for up to US$200 million (S/672 million) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. The term of the loan is five years, with quarterly installments starting on the 18th month. The loan accrued interest at a rate of three months Libor plus 3.9% per year. The proceeds were used to finance our equity participation in GSP, which was the concessionaire of the southern gas pipeline project. We paid the final installment of this loan on June 26, 2019.

GSP Bridge Loan and New Term Loan. With the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our proportional guarantee under the GSP bridge loan became due. As of December 31, 2016, there was US$129 million (S/433.4 million) of principal amount outstanding under our corporate guarantee. On June 27, 2017 we entered into a new US$78.7 million (S/264.8 million) term loan with Natixis, BBVA, SMBC and MUFJ, the proceeds of which were used to prepay GSP bridge loan. The new term loan matures on 2020, with required prepayments to be made with the proceeds of asset sales of 40% in the first year and an additional 30% in the second year of the amendment. The agreement with respect to such term loan contains a covenant restricting the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 3.5:1.0 at any time and the CAM Chile Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 2.5:1.0 at any time. The term loan accrues interest at LIBOR plus 4.50% per year, which will increase to 5.00% during the second year and to 5.50% during the third year. The term loan will be secured by: (i) a first lien on our rights to receive the termination payment derived from the GSP termination (the “VCN”), (ii) a second priority lien on our shares of GyM and Concar; (iii) a second priority lien on our shares of Almonte; (iv) a second priority lien on certain real estate properties in Surquillo; (v) a second priority lien on our shares of CAM; (vi) a second priority lien on our shares of CAM Servicios; and (vii) a first lien on cash flows from the sale of certain assets.

D. Trend Information

Our Main Market: Peru

The following sets forth key macroeconomic trends in our markets, Peru, Chile and Colombia. For additional information on trends in our business, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Factors Affecting our Results of Operations” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Backlog.”

Overview of the Peruvian Economy

Our results are substantially affected by economic conditions prevailing in Peru. The Peruvian economy has been one of the fastest growing economies globally during the period from 2015 to 2019. According to the Peruvian Central Bank, Peruvian real GDP grew at an average rate of 3.2% during that period, one of the highest rates in South America. The economic expansion during this period was a result of robust domestic demand, increase in investment, price stability, increase in foreign direct investment, and an improvement in public finances, among other factors.

Nominal GDP per capita has increased from S/6,172.7 in 2015 to S/7,003.0 in 2019, a 13.5% increase. Average annual inflation, measured by the change in the CPI index, was 2.6% in the period from 2015 to 2019. On the other hand, Peru’s Sol, depreciated from an average of S/3.19 per US$1.00 in 2015 to an average of S/3.34 per US$1.00 in 2019, a depreciation of 4.7%. Peru’s sovereign debt has been granted investment grade rating by S&P, Fitch and Moody’s. At the end of 2019, Peruvian sovereign debt had one of the highest credit ratings in the South American region, rated BBB+ by S&P (August 2013) and Fitch (September 2019) and A3 by Moody’s (June 2019).

ITEM 6.

DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

A. Directors and Senior Management

General

Our business and affairs are managed by our board of directors in accordance with our by-laws, shareholder’s meeting rules of procedure, board of directors rules of procedure, internal rules of conduct and Peruvian Corporate Law No. 26887 (“Peruvian Corporate Law”). Our bylaws provide for a board of directors of between five and nine members. Our shareholders may appoint an alternate director for each director to act on his or her behalf when absent from meetings or unable to exercise his or her duties. Alternate directors have the same responsibilities, duties and powers of directors to the extent they are called to replace them.

Directors are elected at a shareholders’ meeting and hold office for three years. Directors may be elected to multiple terms. Our current board of directors is composed of nine directors and no alternates. If a director resigns or otherwise becomes unable to continue with the duties, a majority of our directors may appoint one of the alternate directors, or in the absence of alternate directors, any other person, to serve as director for the remaining term of the board. In the first board meeting held after the annual shareholders’ meeting where members of the board are elected, the board of directors must elect among its members a chairman and a vice chairman if the shareholders’ meeting did not elect them.

The board of directors typically meets monthly, when called by any director or our Chief Executive Officer. Resolutions must be adopted by a majority of the directors present at the meeting and the chairman is entitled to cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie.

Duties and Liabilities of Directors

Pursuant to Article 177 of Peruvian Corporate Law, directors are jointly and severally liable to the corporation, its shareholders and third parties for any damages caused by board decisions or acts that breach the law or the bylaws of the company, or for damages caused by abuse of power, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

In addition, pursuant to Article 3 of Law No. 29720, as amended, directors of companies with common shares listed on the Lima Stock Exchange are liable to the company and its shareholders for damages caused by resolutions which are favorable to their individual interest (or the interest of a related party) to the detriment of the company’s interest if: (i) the listed company is a party to the transaction; (ii) the controlling shareholder of the listed company controls the legal entity acting as counterparty; (iii) the transaction is not carried out on an arm’s length basis; and (iv) at least 10% of the listed company’s assets are involved in the transaction.

 

138


Table of Contents

A director cannot be found liable for a board decision or act if they did not participate in the meeting where the corresponding decision was taken or if the director’s express disagreement is noted in the minutes of such meeting or evidenced by notarized notice.

Article 180 of the Peruvian Corporate Law requires a director to abstain from: (i) adopting decisions that would not be in the corporation’s interest and that would benefit their interests or those of any related third party, (ii) using for themselves any commercial opportunity or business they became aware of as a result of the exercise of their duties as a director and (iii) participating themselves in competition with the company in any matter that would require disclosure and abstention due to a conflict of interest. A director who violates these requirements is liable for any damages caused to the company and may be removed by a majority of the board of directors or, upon the request of any member of the board or of any shareholder, by a majority vote of the shareholders.

Pursuant to Article 181 of the Peruvian Corporate Law, shareholders are entitled to protect the interest of a company by bringing a claim of civil responsibility against any directors, subject to approval of shareholders at a duly convened shareholders’ meeting. However, Article 4 of Law No. 29,720, with respect to companies listed on the Lima Stock Exchange, establishes that a shareholder that owns at least 10% of the capital stock is entitled to file a claim of civil responsibility under Article 181 of the Peruvian Corporate Law without holding a prior shareholders’ meeting.

Additionally, Legal Decree No. 1121 and Legal Decree No. 1422 (both governing the application of Rule XVI of the Peruvian Tax Code regarding anti-evasion conduct) require the board of directors of Peruvian companies to review any tax planning strategy in respect of the prior fiscal year, and to re-authorize, amend or dissolve the same. If the board of directors do not comply with these rules, the Peruvian tax authority (SUNAT) may hold the directors jointly liable with the company.

Sections 2 and 13 of article 16 of the Peruvian Taxation Code also establish that directors will be jointly liable with the company and with each other if the company does not pay its taxes due to willful misconduct (dolo), gross negligence (culpa grave) or abuse of power of attorney in breach of anti-tax evasion laws.

Board of Directors

The following sets forth our directors and their respective positions as of the date of this annual report. The term of the current board of directors expires in March 2020, on the third anniversary from the date of election. Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to limit the spread of the virus, our annual shareholders’ meeting has been postponed and our current board of directors continue to exercise their functions until a new board is elected. Our annual shareholders meeting is expected to occur during the weeks following the date of this annual report. The company intends to nominate the current directors for re-election for a special one-year term at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

B. Compensation

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Director compensation must be approved by a majority of shareholders at our annual shareholders’ meeting.

In 2019, total compensation paid to our board of directors amounted to S/3.23 million, including compensation paid to directors that serve on our subsidiaries’ board of directors. In 2019, total compensation paid to our executive officers amounted to S/24.8 million. These amounts exclude a consulting agreement signed in 2018 with Augusto Baertl, Chairman of the Board of Directors. See “Item 4.B Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulatory Matters—Labor Regulations” for additional information on profit sharing regulatory requirements and “Item 7.B Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions”, for a description of our consulting agreement with Mr. Baertl.

Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have entered into any agreement that provides for any benefit or compensation to any director or senior executive upon expiration of his or her term or termination of employment. Under Peruvian law, unless we dismiss someone for justified cause, we are required to pay the dismissed employee (but not directors) 1.5x annual salary for every year with our company for a period not to exceed 12 years. We are not required to make such payments in the event of voluntary termination. Although we have no ongoing obligation to do so, in the past we have provided, and in the future we may provide, such benefits to our executive officers upon their retirement. We have not set aside or reserved any amounts to provide for pension, retirement or other similar benefits.

Executive Compensation Plan

We establish and pay executive compensation in compliance with applicable labor and tax regulations and corporate governance standards and in accordance with market conditions.

 

145


Table of Contents

We establish pay scales taking into consideration executives’ responsibilities, including the degree of complexity of those responsibilities, power of decision-making and scope of supervision entrusted.

The fixed salary component of compensation is established for each position based on a pay scale. Fixed salary includes family allowance and cost of living payments, if applicable. We evaluate executives at least once a year to develop action plans in furtherance of continuously improving management performance.

The variable component of compensation is paid to executives and other employees for meeting specific goals, and is related both to his or her performance and our financial results. Variable compensation is typically paid as an annual incentive.

In addition, labor regulation establishes a mandatory profit sharing provision of 5% of our total annual taxable income, to be distributed among all employees, calculated based on a formula established by law that considers the days worked in the year and remuneration.

Our executives also receive additional benefits, typically non-pecuniary. The benefits granted include: (i) a vehicle owned and maintained by our company, with the purpose of facilitating transportation of executives in the performance of their functions; (ii) a fuel allowance to offset transportation costs in the performance of their functions; and (iii) an insurance policy, including work accident and high risk coverage.

In addition, we have established a plan for certain executives effective March 2013 that awards cash bonuses for the exclusive use of purchasing shares of our company or of our subsidiaries. The executive must agree to hold the shares for a specific period. If the executive is no longer employed with our company during such period, we are entitled to repurchase the shares at the original purchase price. This benefit is awarded at the discretion and subject to the approval of the Human Resource Management Committee of our board of directors.

D.

Employees

We have developed an extensive and talented team, including more than 1,900 engineers, which gives us the capability and scale to undertake large and complex projects. We also have access to a network of approximately 132,000 manual laborers throughout Peru that can supplement our workforce when required by our projects. Moreover, we have the flexibility to engage our own workers on projects outside Peru, avoiding the need to seek new employees in other countries.

As of December 31, 2019, we had a total of 15,164 full-time employees, including approximately 9,949 manual laborers, a number that fluctuates depending on our project backlog. At such date, we also worked with 3,336 employees of subcontractors. Occasionally, we employ subcontractors for particular aspects of our projects, such as carpenters, specialists in elevator installation and specialists in glassworks. We are not dependent upon any particular subcontractor or group of subcontractors. As of December 31, 2019, 16% of our employees worked outside Peru.

LOGO

Our talent development system has allowed us to develop a team of professionals with the ability to design and implement sophisticated projects. Our talent management process broadly focuses on attracting, developing and training employees.

We have implemented programs to attract young and qualified candidates. Our “Cantera” Program offers various types of internships and training opportunities to engineering students and recent graduates, rewarding the most successful candidates with the opportunity to work as full-time, permanent employees. Our focus is not only to attract talented people but also to retain them.

Through our Graña y Montero Academy, we offer continuing education opportunities through a wide selection of courses and training programs targeted at each level. We believe the knowledge that our employees gain through these programs is reflected in the way they work and relate to our clients, adding value in every step. During 2019, we invested more than US$23,000 in continuing education, reaching approximately 305,000 training hours for our employees.

Table of Contents

We place significant emphasis on instilling our core corporate values of quality, professionalism, reliability and efficiency on our employees, and on promoting safety, environmental sustainability and social responsibility throughout the entire organization. Our Code of Conduct and Charter of Ethics regulate the conduct of our employees while promoting the foregoing values. In addition, our employees participate in ethics seminars on a periodic basis.

Substantially all of our manual laborers and some of our other employees are members of labor unions. Our practice is generally to extend the benefits we offer our unionized employees to non-unionized employees. We consider our current relationship with unions to be positive.

In our E&C segment, collective bargaining agreements are negotiated at two levels: (i) on an annual basis between the National Federation of Civil Construction and the Peruvian Chamber of Construction, without our direct involvement; and (ii) on a per project basis directly between the unions and our project committees, in accordance with such annual agreement. In addition, some of our personnel in our gas processing plant belongs to the labor union Unicode Workers Union GMP S.A. We currently have collective bargaining agreements with some of our gas processing plant workers. These collective bargaining agreements are negotiated on an annual basis.

Safety

We safeguard the health and safety of our employees and of all the persons present in our operations and services. To that end, we provide safe work conditions, we manage risks in a timely manner and we promote a culture of prevention, starting from the leadership and commitment of our senior management.

In 2019, our company trained our top and middle management, collaborators and suppliers or subcontractors in security matters. During this period, we reported an accident incidence rate of 0.25 accidents for every 200,000 hours worked, remaining at a level similar to 2018.

Our occupational health and safety management system in all of our subsidiaries (Chile, Peru and Colombia) is certified by OHSAS 18001. We believe a safe job site contributes to our reputation and ability to gain new business while enhancing employee morale and reducing costs and exposure to liability.

Under our framework, we have provided over 91,792 hours of training in risk prevention for managers and directors, more than 495,000 hours of training for employees and nearly 326,000 hours of training for subcontractors. Additionally, to improve the leadership and commitment of our chain of command, these training sessions were complemented with periodic manager’s visits to projects, the establishment of annual safety goals based on the type of activity, the generation of opportunities to share lessons learned, and the monitoring of safety panels by our board of directors.

E. Share Ownership

B. Related Party Transactions

Peruvian Law Concerning Related Party Transactions

Peruvian law sets forth certain restrictions and limitations on transactions with certain related parties.

Valuation: from a tax standpoint, the value of those transactions must be equal to the fair market value assessed under transfer pricing rules, i.e., the value agreed to by non-related parties under the same or similar circumstances. Similarly, companies with securities registered in the Peruvian Public Registry of Securities (Registro Público del Mercado de Valores), such as us, are required to comply with the following rules:

 

   

The directors and managers of our company cannot, without the prior authorization of the board of directors, (i) receive in the form of a loan money or assets of our company; or (ii) use, for their own benefit or for the benefit of related parties, assets, services or credits of our company.

 

   

The execution of agreements that involve at least 5% of the assets of our company with persons or entities related to directors, managers or shareholders that own, directly or indirectly, 10% of the share capital, requires the prior authorization of the board of directors (with no participation of the director involved in the transaction, if any).

 

   

The execution of agreements with a party controlled by our company’s controlling shareholder requires the prior authorization of the board of directors and an evaluation of the terms of the transaction by an external independent company (audit companies or other determined by Resolución SMV N° 029-2018-SMV-01).

Independent review: the external independent company that reviews the transaction should not be related to the parties involved therein, nor to directors, managers or shareholders that own at least 10% of the share capital of such parties involved.

Table of Contents

Terms and conditions: As a general policy, we do not enter into transactions with directors and executive officers on terms more favorable than what we would offer third parties. Any related party transaction we have entered into in the past has been in the ordinary course of business and on an arm’s length basis.

Approve and accounting: Article 30 of the internal regulations of our board of directors establishes a review procedure for identifying, approving and accounting for related party transactions. Related party transactions are defined as any transaction entered into by and among our company and any shareholder that owns 1% or more of our company’s or of our subsidiaries’ outstanding shares, directors, senior executives and persons related to them. The Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for approving each such transaction considering market conditions and potential benefits for us and the related party. For ordinary course transactions carried out under market conditions, the authorization is delegated to the operations of the business line. For more information, see “Item 6. Directors Senior Management and Employees—Management.”

Related Party Transactions

We enter into certain related party transactions in the ordinary course of our business. No such transactions in effect during 2019 were material to our company or, to our knowledge, to any such related party, nor were any such transactions unusual in their nature or condition. Related party transactions with the following parties were in effect in 2019:

 

   

In April 2018, we signed a consulting agreement with Augusto Baertl, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the amount of S/420,000 (US$124,000). The contract has a term of 36 months.

 

   

In 2019, our subsidiary GMP signed a consulting agreement with Francisco Dulanto, director of GMP, in the amount of S/342,240 (US$103,178).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

See Item 18 of this annual report on Form 20-F.

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

Our company and certain of our subsidiaries, and certain of our former directors and senior management, have been charged in connection with criminal and civil investigations relating to certain of our projects in connection with our association with Odebrecht and in connection with our alleged participation in what is referred to as the “construction club.”

In connection with investigations relating to the IIRSA South project concession (tranches II and III), the Peruvian criminal prosecutor moved to charge our company and our construction subsidiary, GyM, as criminal defendants in connection with the project. In response, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court (Primer Juzgado de Investigación Preparatoria Nacional) notified us of its decision to formally include our company and GyM in its criminal investigation. We appealed the court’s decision and, in June 2018, the First Court of Appeals of the Superior Court of Lima revoked the judicial order that indicted our company and GyM, among other corporate defendants, in the criminal investigation on charges of collusion and other crimes and rejected the petition, without prejudice, made by the prosecutor to incorporate both companies in the aforementioned process. Nevertheless, in February of 2020, we were notified that the criminal prosecutor had filed a new motion to bring criminal charges against our company and GyM in connection with the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II). We cannot predict the outcome of this motion.

Table of Contents

Separately, in connection with these investigations, in December 2018, the Peruvian First National Preparatory Investigation Court resolved to include our company and GyM as civilly-responsible third parties in the investigations related to the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II) and GyM as a civilly-responsible third party in the investigations related to Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro. These proceedings are ongoing.

Peruvian prosecutors have included José Graña Miró Quesada, a shareholder and the former Chairman of our company, in an investigation for the crime of collusion, and Hernando Graña Acuña, a shareholder, a former board member of our company and former chairman of our subsidiary GyM, for the crime of money laundering against the Peruvian government, each in connection with the IIRSA South project concession (tranche II), in which we participated with Odebrecht. Gonzalo Ferraro Rey, the former Chief Infrastructure Officer of our company, has also been included in an investigation for the crime of money laundering in connection with the same project. In addition, José Graña Hernando Graña, as well as Juan Manuel Lambarri, the former chief executive officer of our engineering and construction business have been charged in connection with Tranches 1 and 2 of the Lima Metro project. In August 2019, José Graña indicated in public statements to the media that he and Hernando Graña had initiated a process of plea bargaining with Peruvian prosecutors in respect of multiple projects in which our company participated with Odebrecht and in respect of the alleged “construction club.” According to José Graña’s public statements, in the plea bargaining process, both he and Hernando Graña are cooperating with the Peruvian prosecutor, which may include providing information related to wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behavior while they were at the company. However, given the confidential nature of these proceedings, the reported information is limited and difficult to verify. We cannot assure you what they will ultimately say to the government, or that their statements will not adversely affect the company’s business.

INDECOPI initiated in 2017 investigations regarding allegations that certain construction companies in Peru, including our subsidiary GyM, colluded as a “construction club” to receive public contracts. In February 2020, INDECOPI initiated an administrative proceeding against several construction companies, including our subsidiary GyM, aiming to impose civil fines on the investigated companies.

Separately, in December 2018, GyM was formally included as a civilly-responsible third party, along with eleven other construction companies, in the criminal investigation conducted by a Peruvian public prosecutor based on facts similar to those under investigation by INDECOPI. In December 2019, the prosecutor criminally charged GyM and another of our subsidiaries, CONCAR, and other companies in the construction sector in Peru, as well as a former director and senior management of our company, with collusion and other alleged crimes. For more information, see “Item 3.D.-Key Information-Risk Factors-Risks Related to Recent Developments (2017-2020)- Investigations regarding potential corruption or other illegal acts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations”

In December 2019, we entered into a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with the Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel in respect of investigations relating to past projects in which the company participated with Odebrecht, including the GSP project, and the “construction club” investigation. The terms of the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement are confidential in accordance with Peruvian law and under discussion with Peruvian authorities. Although in the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement, the Peruvian government undertook to enter into a final settlement and cooperation agreement within sixty business days, we have not reached a final agreement, and the parties continue to discuss the terms of the settlement.

A class action civil lawsuit was filed in 2017 against our company and certain of our former directors and former and current executive officers in the United States. In February 2020, we executed a term sheet with the plaintiffs that provides the general terms and conditions for a final settlement agreement. The term sheet stipulates a settlement amount of US$20 million plus interest after a certain time period. The company recorded provisions of US$15 million as of December 31, 2019, and the remaining US$5 million is expected to be covered by the company’s D&O insurance. It is not certain whether the negotiation of a final settlement agreement will be successful, and, if so, whether any such agreement will be approved by the court. If a final settlement is not rendered and approved by the court, we would expect the lawsuit to resume.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

Dividend Policy

Our current dividend policy, adopted on March 29, 2016, is to distribute between 30% and 40% of the net profit from the preceding year, as long as we hold such net profit on a consolidated basis, subject to contractual restrictions on our indebtedness. Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective number of shares held. Our dividend policy can be modified by a favorable vote of a majority of our shareholders and any changes become effective 30 days after approval. Dividends will not be distributed in advance.

Article 23 of our by-laws establishes that dividends distribution must be approved by our shareholders during the annual shareholders’ meeting. The recommendation of our board of directors is required for the distribution of interim dividends, which must be subsequently ratified at a shareholders’ meeting.

Under Peruvian law, companies may distribute up to 100% of their profit (after payment of income tax) subject to a 10% legal reserve until the legal reserve equals 20% of the total value of their capital stock. According to Article 40 of the Peruvian Corporate Law, in order to distribute dividends, profits must be determined in accordance with the individual financial statements of our company.

Payment of Dividends

Dividends are paid to holders of our common shares as of a record date determined by us. In order to allow for the settlement of securities, under the rules of the Peruvian Securities Commission, investors who purchase shares of a publicly-held company three business days prior to a dividend payment date do not have the right to receive such dividend payment. Dividends on issued and outstanding common shares are distributed pro rata.

We will not be able to make any dividend payments until all outstanding amounts under the Financial Stability Framework Agreement and the CS Peru Infrastructure Loan have been repaid or discharged in full. In addition, the indentures of the senior secured notes issued by GyM Ferrovías and the corporate bonds issued by Norvial contain certain customary covenants, including restrictions on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends if we are in default under the agreement, and the corporate bonds of GyM imposes a limitation to GyM to distribute dividends to us. “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness.”

Holders of common shares are not entitled to interest on accrued dividends. In addition, under Article 232 of the Peruvian Corporate Law, the right to collect accrued dividends declared by a publicly-held company expires ten years from the original dividend payment date.

Previous Dividend Payments

No dividends were declared or paid from 2017-2019 for our common shares.

B. Significant Changes.

Except as disclosed in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects— Recent Developments (2017—2020)—The Impact of the Ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic,” and notes 4.4 and 37 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, we have not experienced any significant changes since the date of our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Regulation of the Peruvian Securities Market

The regulatory framework for the Peruvian securities market is established in the Securities Market Law approved by Legislative Decree No. 861, as amended (Ley del Mercado de Valores), and the resolutions issued from time to time by the Peruvian Securities Commission. The purpose of the Securities Market Law is to promote the ordered development and transparency of the Peruvian securities markets and provide adequate protection for investors and the principles under which the Peruvian securities market is intended to operate. The Securities Market Law contains the general rules for: (i) primary and secondary public offerings of securities; (ii) public offering of securities for acquisitions and sales; (iii) local and international offerings, including simultaneous offerings; (iv) the Public Registry of Securities (Registro Público del Mercado de Valores); (v) reporting obligations of material information (hechos de importancia) by the issuers of securities recorded in the Public Registry of Securities and by the entities that are subject to the regulation and supervision of the Peruvian Securities Commission; (vi) the enforcement of insider trading; (vii) privileged information and confidentiality regulations and prohibitions against price manipulation; (viii) the broker-dealers; (ix) the Lima Stock Exchange; (x) CAVALI (the settlement and registry entity for transactions executed on the Lima Stock Exchange); (xi) other entities that are required to be registered at the Peruvian securities market Public Registry of Securities; (xii) capital market instruments and operations, including securitizations; and (xiii) mutual funds and investments funds publicly placed and their respective management companies.

The Peruvian securities market is regulated and supervised by the Peruvian Securities Commission (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores), a governmental entity reporting to the Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance, with functional, administrative, economic, technical and budgetary autonomy. The Peruvian Securities Commission is governed by the Superintendent, designated by the Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance, and by a five-member board of directors convened by the Superintendent (who acts as Chairman of the board). The other four members are appointed by the government under applicable legislation. The Peruvian Securities Commission issues from time to time resolutions which provide specific regulations or may impose sanctions in cases of violations of the Securities Market Law or the resolutions issued by the Peruvian Securities Commission.

The Peruvian Securities Commission, in order to achieve the Securities Market Law’s purposes, has broad regulatory and supervisory powers, including (i) issuing general mandatory rules; (ii) supervision and oversight of compliance with applicable legislation (including the power to order inspections and require the submission of information and documentation by entities that are under its jurisdiction and summon and interrogate any person that may contribute to its investigations); (iii) imposing sanctions; (iv) managing the Peruvian securities market public

As of December 31, 2019, US$46.5 million (S/154.2 million) was outstanding under the Financial Stability Framework Agreement. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness.” This agreement and the amendment thereto have been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.02 to this annual report.

GSP Concession and Subordination Arrangements

In November 2015 we acquired a 20% interest in GSP, an entity which, on July 22, 2014, signed a concession agreement with the government of Peru to build, operate and maintain the natural gas pipeline transportation system to satisfy the demand of certain cities in the southern region of Peru.

On January 24, 2017, the government of Peru terminated the contract, due to the impossibility of obtaining financial closing. In accordance with the concession contract, the Peruvian government is required to carry out an auction process to sell GSP’s assets and obtain a new concessionaire within one year of the contract termination, with the funds raised in the sale to be used to pay the existing concessionaire for its investment in the project. Although the concession contract provides that payment must be made within one year of termination, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines has not made payment or, to our knowledge, initiated the payment process. A summary of these provisions of the concession contract have been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.03 to this annual report.

In 2016, in connection with efforts to restructure or sell Odebrecht’s participation in GSP, due to the corruption scandal surrounding Odebrecht, Odebrecht contractually agreed to subordinate its claims under the concession to the other project partners, Enagas and ourselves. As a result, we and Enagas may be entitled to repayment of our percentage payment under the concession contract prior to Odebrecht. On January 3, 2018, Odebrecht commenced arbitration proceedings against us, our subsidiary GyM and Enagas, seeking to invalidate the contractual subordination, but Odebrecht subsequently withdrew the claim. This agreement and the amendments thereto have been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.04 to this annual report.

On December 4, 2017, GSP voluntarily commenced bankruptcy proceedings in Peru. GSP’s assets will be liquidated pursuant to Peruvian law. GSP’s only substantial asset is the claim for government payment described above, as contemplated under the concession contract in the event of termination.

Although the concession contract provides that payment must be made within one year of termination, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines has not made payment or, to our knowledge, initiated the payment process or the auction process for a new concessionaire. As a result, after the six-month period mandated by the concession contract for the parties to discuss the matter, in October 2019, we asserted our rights against the Peruvian government

by filing a request for arbitration before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. However, in December 2019 we withdrew our request for arbitration, as required by Peruvian authorities under the preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement we entered into with Peruvian anticorruption prosecutor and the ad hoc Peruvian state counsel. For more information, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Recent Developments (2017—2020)— Termination of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano Concession.”

D. Exchange Controls

Since August 1990, there have been no exchange controls in Peru and all foreign exchange transactions are based on free market exchange rates. Prior to August 1990, the Peruvian foreign market consisted of several alternative exchange rates. Additionally, during the 1990s, the Peruvian currency experienced a significant number of large devaluations, and Peru has consequently adopted, and operated under, various exchange rate control practices and exchange rate policies, ranging from strict control over exchange rates to market determination of rates. Current Peruvian regulations on foreign investment allow the foreign holders of equity shares of Peruvian companies to receive and repatriate 100 percent of the cash dividends distributed by such companies. Such investors are allowed to purchase foreign exchange at free market currency rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system and transfer such foreign currency rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system and transfer such foreign currency outside Peru without restriction.

E. Taxation

Peruvian Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of material Peruvian tax matters under Peruvian law, as in effect on the date of this annual report, and describes the principal tax consequences of ownership of ADSs and common shares by non-resident individuals or entities (“Non-Peruvian Holders”). Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations may, however, be forthcoming. Any such changes or interpretations could affect the tax consequences to holders of ADSs and common shares and could alter or modify the conclusions set forth herein. This summary is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to make an investment in the ADSs or common shares. In addition, it does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any taxing jurisdiction other than Peru or applicable to an individual or entity resident of Peru or to a person with a permanent establishment in Peru.

For purposes of Peruvian taxation:

 

   

individuals are residents of Peru, if they are Peruvian nationals who have established their place of residence in Peru or if they are foreign nationals with a permanence of more than 183 days in Peru in any 12-month period (in the latter case, the condition of Peruvian resident can only be acquired as of the 1st of January of the year following the fulfillment of residence conditions); and

 

   

legal entities are residents of Peru if they are established or incorporated in Peru.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

Cash dividends paid to Non-Peruvian Holders with respect to common shares and amounts distributed with respect to ADSs have been subject to Peruvian withholding income tax at a rate of 5% since 2017. As a general rule, the distribution of additional common shares representing profits, the distribution of shares which differ from the distribution of earnings or profits, as well as the distribution of preemptive rights with respect to common shares, which are carried out as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders, will not be subject to Peruvian income tax or withholding taxes.

Capital Gains

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Peruvian income tax law, individuals and domiciled entities in Peru are subject to Peruvian income tax on their worldwide income while non-domiciled entities – including branches, agencies (agencias), and permanent establishment (establecimientos permanentes) of non-domiciled entities – are subject to Peruvian income tax only on their Peruvian source income.

Table of Contents

Peruvian income tax law provides that income derived from the disposal of securities issued by Peruvian entities is considered Peruvian source income and is therefore subject to income tax. Under current Peruvian income tax law, capital gains resulting from the disposal of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) that represent shares issued by Peruvian entities are considered Peruvian source income and therefore are subject to Peruvian income tax. Peruvian income tax law also provides that the taxable income resulting from the disposal of securities is equal to the difference between the sale price of the securities (which may not be less than their fair market value) and their tax basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gains resulting from the disposal of ADSs or the beneficial interest in ADSs that represent shares issued by a Peruvian entity are not considered Peruvian source income, and therefore are not subject to Peruvian income tax.

In the event ADSs are exchanged into common shares and such common shares are disposed of, capital gains resulting therefrom will be subject to an income tax rate of either 5% or 30%, depending on where the transaction takes place. If the transaction is consummated in Peru, any capital gain will be subject to an income tax rate of 5%; and if the transaction is performed outside of Peru, any capital gain will be subject to a 30% income tax rate. Peruvian income tax law regulations have stated with respect to the transfer of common shares, that transactions are deemed to be consummated in Peru if the common shares are transferred through the Lima Stock Exchange.

From 2016 through December 31 of 2019, pursuant to the Law 30341, capital gains resulting from a transfer of: (i) Common shares and investment shares, (ii) ADRs and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), (iii) Exchange Trade Funds (ETF) units that have underlying shares and/or securities representing debt, (iv) representative securities of debt, (v) Certificates of participation in mutual funds for investment in securities, (vi) Certificates of participation in investment Funds in Rent of Real Property (FIRBI) and certificates of participation in Trustee of Securitization for Investment in Rent of Real Estate (FIBRA), and (vii) Negotiable invoices, will be exempt from income tax, provided, however, that the following conditions are met:

With respect to (i), (ii) and convertible bonds:

 

  (a)

The transfer must be performed through a centralized trading mechanism supervised by the Securities Market Superintendence;

 

  (b)

In any 12-month period, neither the seller or any person related to him must dispose of more than 10% of the total number of common shares issued by the company through one or more simultaneous or successive operations; and

 

  (c)

The shares must have a “market presence”, meaning that transactions in respect of those shares for a value exceeding four Tax Units (currently, S/4,200.00 per Tax Unit) shall have occurred in at least 27 business days out of any 180 business day period including the date of the transaction.

With respect to (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi):

 

  (a)

The transfer must be performed through a centralized trading mechanism supervised by the Securities Market Superintendence; and

 

  (b)

The shares must have a “market presence,” meaning that transactions in respect of those shares for a value exceeding four Tax Units (currently, S/4,200.00) shall have occurred in at least 27 business days out of any 180 business day period including the date of the transaction.

With respect to (vii), the transfer must be performed through a centralized trading mechanism supervised by the Securities Market Superintendence.

 

161


Table of Contents

Any gain resulting from the conversion of ADSs into common shares or common shares into ADSs will not be subject to taxation in Peru.

Likewise, it is important to note that if after applying the exemption, the issuer delisted the securities from the Registry of the Lima Stock Exchange, in whole or in part, in an act or progressively, within the next 12 months after the disposal is made, the exemption that is applied to the securities unlisted is lost.

Any Non-Peruvian Holder who acquires common shares will have the following tax basis: (i) for common shares purchased by the transferor, the acquisition price paid for the shares; (ii) for common shares received by the transferor as a result of a share capital increase because of a capitalization of net profits, the par value of such common shares; (iii) for other common shares received free of any payment, tax basis will be: (x) zero or the cost borne by the transferor, in the case of individuals and (y) the fair market value at the time of the acquisition, in the case of entities; and (iv) for common shares of the same type acquired at different opportunities and at different values, the tax basis will be the weighted average cost. In cases where common shares are sold by Non-Peruvian Holders outside the Lima Stock Exchange, the tax basis must be certified by the Peruvian tax administration prior to the time payment is made to the transferor; otherwise it would not be possible to deduct the tax basis and the 30% Peruvian income tax would apply to the total sale price. Under Peruvian income tax law, tax basis certification is granted by the Peruvian tax authorities within 30 business days after the filing of the corresponding application. If the Peruvian tax authorities do not respond within the abovementioned period, the tax basis calculation will be deemed automatically approved.

In any transaction relating to Peruvian securities through the Lima Stock Exchange, CAVALI will act as withholding agent of the Peruvian income tax. If the purchaser is a resident in Peru and the sale is not performed through the Lima Stock Exchange, the purchaser will act as withholding agent. In other cases, the transferor shall be obliged to self-assess the tax and pay it to the Peruvian tax authorities within the first 12 business days of the month following the transfer.

Other Considerations

No Peruvian estate or gift taxes are imposed on the gratuitous transfer of ADSs or common shares. No stamp, transfer or similar tax applies to any transfer of ADSs or common shares, except for commissions payable by seller and buyer to the Lima Stock Exchange (0.021% of value sold, provided that the Lima Stock Exchange applies a discount of 90% of such commission if stock is included in the Good Corporate Governance Index), fees payable to the Peruvian Securities Commission (0.0135% of value sold, provided that the Peruvian Securities Commission applies a discount of 90% of the abovementioned commission if stock is included in the Good Corporate Governance Index), brokers’ fees (about 0.05% to 0.50% of value sold by legal entities) and value added tax (at the rate of 18%) on commissions and fees. Any investor who sells its common shares on the Lima Stock Exchange will incur these fees and taxes upon purchase and sale of the common shares.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary describes certain United States federal income tax consequences to a United States Holder (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares and ADSs as of the date of this annual report. Except where noted, this summary deals only with common shares and ADSs held as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). As used herein, the term “United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

162


Table of Contents
   

a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:

 

   

a dealer in securities or currencies;

 

   

a financial institution;

 

   

a regulated investment company;

 

   

a real estate investment trust;

 

   

an insurance company;

 

   

a tax-exempt organization;

 

   

a person holding our common shares or ADSs as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale or a straddle;

 

   

a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

 

   

a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

 

   

a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value);

 

   

a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to our common shares or ADSs as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

 

   

a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes; or

 

   

a person whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be replaced, revoked or modified so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. There is currently no income tax treaty between the United States and Peru that would provide for United States federal income tax consequences different than the consequences under the foregoing authorities. In addition, this summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the depositary to us and assumes that the deposit agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisors.

This summary does not address the effects of the Medicare tax on net investment income or other United States income tax consequences such as United States federal estate or gift tax consequences, and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. If you are considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of our common shares or ADSs, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular situation as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Table of Contents

ADSs

If you hold ADSs, for United States federal income tax purposes, you generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying common shares that are represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of common shares for ADSs will not be subject to United States federal income tax.

Taxation of Dividends

The gross amount of distributions, other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares, on the ADSs or common shares (including amounts withheld to reflect Peruvian withholding taxes) will be taxable as dividends, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution (including amounts withheld to reflect Peruvian withholding taxes) exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADSs or common shares, and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend. Such dividends (including any withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you, in the case of the common shares, or by the depositary, in the case of ADSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.

With respect to non-corporate United States Holders, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A non-United States corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on common shares (or ADSs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADSs, which are listed on the NYSE, will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether our common shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States because only the ADSs, not the underlying common shares, are listed on a securities market in the United States. We believe that dividends we pay on our common shares that are represented by ADSs, but not our common shares that are not so represented, will meet such conditions required for the reduced tax rates. There can be no assurance that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Non-corporate United States Holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given your particular circumstances.

The amount of any dividend paid in soles will equal the U.S. dollar value of the soles received, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by you, in the case of the common shares, or by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the soles are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the soles received as a dividend are converted into U.S. dollars on the date they are received, you generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. If the soles received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you will have a tax basis in the soles equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the soles will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss.

 

164


Table of Contents

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Peruvian withholding taxes on dividends may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your United States federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the ADSs or common shares will be treated as foreign source income and will generally constitute passive category income. However, in certain circumstances, if you have held the ADSs or common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for any Peruvian withholding taxes imposed on dividends paid on the ADSs or common shares. If you do not elect to claim a United States foreign tax credit, you may instead claim a deduction for Peruvian income tax withheld, but only for a taxable year in which you elect to do so with respect to all foreign income taxes paid or accrued in such taxable year. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

Taxation of Capital Gains

For United States federal income tax purposes, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale or other disposition of ADSs or common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ADSs or common shares and your tax basis in the ADSs or common shares, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate United States Holders derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If a Peruvian income tax is withheld on the sale or other disposition of our ADSs or common shares, your amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds of that sale or other disposition before deduction of the Peruvian income tax. See “—Peruvian Tax Considerations—Capital Gains” for a description of when a sale or other disposition of our ADSs or common shares may be subject to taxation by Peru. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, in the case of gain from the disposition of ADSs or common shares that is subject to Peruvian income tax, you may not be able to benefit from the foreign tax credit for that Peruvian income tax (i.e., because the gain from the disposition would be United States source), unless you can apply the credit (subject to applicable limitations) against United States federal income tax payable on other income from foreign sources. Alternatively, you may take a deduction for the Peruvian income tax if you do not take a credit for any foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if Peruvian income tax is imposed on a disposition of ADSs or common shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

We do not believe that we are, for United States federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”), and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC. If, however, we are or become a PFIC, you could be subject to additional United States federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ADSs or common shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Non-corporate United States Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us (as discussed above under “—Taxation of Dividends”) if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our ADSs or common shares and the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our ADSs or common shares that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.

The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our ADSs or common shares. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences to you, including the consequences under laws other than United States federal income tax laws, of an investment in our ADSs or common shares.

F. Dividends and Paying Agents

G. Statement by Experts

Not applicable.

H. Documents on Display

We are subject to the informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we are required to submit reports and other information to the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet website at http://www.sec.gov, from which you can electronically access these materials.

As a foreign private issuer, we are required to file with the SEC annual reports on Form 20-F, but we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a domestic U.S. registrant under the Exchange Act. For example, we are not required to prepare and issue quarterly reports. However, we have furnished, and intend to continue to furnish, our shareholders with quarterly reports containing unaudited financial data for the first three quarters of each fiscal year. In addition, as a foreign issuer, we are not subject to the proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and our officers and directors are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act relating to insider short-swing profit disclosure and recovery regime.

We send the depositary a copy of all notices that we give relating to meetings of our shareholders or to distributions to shareholders or the offering of rights and a copy of any other report or communication that we make generally available to our shareholders. The depositary makes all these notices, reports and communications that it receives from us available for inspection by registered holders of ADSs at its office. The depositary mails copies of those notices, reports and communications to you if we ask the depositary to do so and furnish sufficient copies of materials for that purpose.

We file financial statements and other periodic reports with the Peruvian Securities Commission in Peru. Issuers of securities registered with the Peruvian Securities Commission are required to disclose material information relating to the issuer. Pursuant to the Securities Market Law and relevant regulations enacted thereunder, all material information in connection with the issuer of registered securities, its activities or securities issued or secured by such issuer which may influence the liquidity or price of such securities must be disclosed. Accordingly, issuers must file with the Peruvian Securities Commission mainly two types of information: (a) financial information, including unaudited interim financial statements on a quarterly basis (which are not required to be subject to limited review), and audited annual consolidated financial statements on an annual basis, and (b) material information relating to the issuer and its activities that may significantly affect the price, offering or negotiation of the issued securities, and in general, all the information that may be relevant for investors to be able to make investment decisions.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a number of market risks arising from our normal business activities, including the possibility that changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates will adversely affect future cash flows and profit or the value of our financial assets and liabilities. From time to time, we enter into derivative transactions to hedge against foreign currencies and interest rate fluctuations. For further information regarding our market risk, see note 4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

 

166


Table of Contents

Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our revenues and costs, and our assets and liabilities, are denominated in soles, U.S. dollars, Chilean pesos and, to a lesser extent, other currencies. In 2019, we estimate that 52%, 35% and 13% of our revenues were denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies (principally Chilean pesos), respectively, while 64%, 21% and 15% of our cost of sales during the year were denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, 70%, 27% and 3% of our total debt was denominated in soles, U.S. dollars and other currencies, respectively. If, at December 31, 2019, the sol had strengthened/weakened by 2% against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables remaining constant, or pre-tax profit for the year would have increased/decreased by S/9.3 million.

Interest Rate Risk

We may from time to time incur variable interest rate indebtedness, and accordingly our financial expenses are affected by changes in interest rates. Based upon our indebtedness at December 31, 2019, and taking into account our interest rate derivative instruments, a change in interest rates of 5% (or 500 basis points) would impact our net profit by S/0.01 million annually.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in commodity prices, primarily for oil, steel and cement, which in aggregate represented a majority of our total input cost in 2019. We do not have long-term contracts for the supply of these key inputs. Based upon our consumption of these inputs during 2019, a 10% increase/decrease in the prices of each of oil, steel and cement would have increased/decreased our costs of sales by S/0.994 million, S/6.714 million and S/8.431 million, respectively. However, based on our production of oil during 2019, a 10% increase/decrease in the price of oil would have increased/decreased our revenues by S/28.8 million and S/30.9 million, respectively.

a fee for the reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses as are incurred by the depositary and/or any of the depositary’s agents (including, without limitation, the custodian and expenses incurred on behalf of holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the common shares or other deposited securities, the sale of securities, the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the depositary’s or the custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which charge shall be assessed on a proportionate basis against holders as of the record date or dates set by the depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions);

 

   

a fee for the distribution or sale of securities pursuant to paragraph 10 of the deposit agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the US$0.05 per ADS issuance fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were common shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the depositary to those holders entitled thereto;

 

   

stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges;

 

   

cable and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at your request in connection with the deposit or delivery of common shares;

 

   

transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfer of deposited securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of deposited securities; and

 

   

expenses of the depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars.

We will pay all other charges and expenses of the depositary and any agent of the depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between us and the depositary. The charges described above may be amended from time to time by agreement between us and the depositary.

Our depositary has agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses we incur that are related to establishment and maintenance of the ADR program, including investor relations expenses and exchange application and listing fees. The amounts of reimbursements available to us are not based upon the amounts of fees the depositary collects from investors. The depositary collects its fees for issuance and cancellation of ADSs directly from investors depositing common shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting on their behalf. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed

or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions, or by directly billing investors, or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary will generally set off the amounts owing from distributions made to holders of ADSs. If, however, no distribution exists and payment owing is not timely received by the depositary, the depositary may refuse to provide any further services to holders that have not paid those fees and expenses owing until such fees and expenses have been paid. At the discretion of the depositary, all fees and charges owing under the deposit agreement are due in advance and/or when declared owing by the depositary.

During 2019, the depositary reimbursed us for expenses in an aggregate amount of US$222,667 (S/738,588).

DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

CS Peru Infrastructure Loan

On November 19, 2019, a filing of a preventive bankruptcy proceedings by the company’s subsidiary Adexus triggered an event of default under the CS Peru Infrastructure Loan. On February 28, 2020, the company and the initial lender signed an amendment, waiver and consent in respect of this event of default, in consideration for a prepayment by the company of US$10 million, together with accrued interest and a make-whole premium. The amendment also amended the definition of ‘Consolidated EBITDA’ set forth in the agreement to exclude non-cash non-recurring events and amended the list of investigations set forth on Schedule 6.25 thereto.

Financial Stability Framework Agreement

During 2019, our construction subsidiary GyM was under a continuing default under the Financial Stability Framework Agreement with respect to its failure to comply with certain ratios between Tranche A (client invoices) and Tranche B (client provisions). No event of default was formally notified to GyM by the lenders, and GyM procured a waiver from the lenders in July 2019.

GSP Bridge Loan and New Term Loan

With the termination of the GSP gas pipeline concession, our proportional guarantee under the GSP bridge loan became due. As of December 31, 2017, there was US$72.5 million (S/235.2 million) of principal amount outstanding under our corporate guarantee. On June 27, 2017 we entered into a new US$78.7 million (S/264.8 million) term loan with Natixis, BBVA, SMBC and MUFJ, the proceeds of which were used to prepay GSP bridge loan.The company was in default during January of 2019 due to its failure to make payment on June 27, 2018 of 40% of the amounts outstanding under the term loan. The company received a waiver from the lenders on January 31, 2019, concurrent with which the company repaid the amounts that were overdue (US$16.2 million). The term loan was repaid in full in June 2019.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

  A.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

  B.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company as such term is defined by Exchange Act rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted IFRS accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We have established a continuous testing process throughout the year. From this assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, we have identified certain material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual and interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified are described below:

 

   

deficiencies in the operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance, including (1) inadequate monitoring of entities that provide services to companies in our group and may have an impact in our financial reporting, (2) the lack of procedures or implementation of controls for the assurance of the completeness and accuracy of key reports and (3) the absence of self-assessment by controls’ owners;

 

   

deficiencies in the design and operational effectiveness of the controls established in the accounting closing process concerning the preparation and review of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including (1) inadequate supporting documentation for significant transactions prior to their registration in accounting records, (2) late adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards affecting our interim consolidated financial statements, (3) delay in undertaking the evaluations required under IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and (4) failure to finalize a manual for accounting policies for all subsidiaries and our group as a whole; and

 

   

deficiencies in (1) the implementation of our new SAP-based payroll system for employees established in 2019 and (2) the segregation of duties for both our new employee payroll system and our existing construction workers’ payroll system.

 

171


Table of Contents

Conclusion

The material weaknesses described above did not result in adjustments to our annual consolidated financial statements. However, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements in our financial results and disclosures, which could result in a material misstatement to our annual consolidated financial statements not being prevented or detected. Because of these material weaknesses, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Moore Assurance S.A.S. (a member firm of Moore Global Network Limited), an independent registered public accounting firm, which has audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 contained in this annual report on Form 20-F, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.

Remediation Plan

We are taking remedial actions to address the material weaknesses that have been identified with respect to our internal control over financial reporting.

We continue to work on the remediation of our deficiencies with respect to the operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance. We have established a remediation plan for the deficiencies detected in 2019 which includes (1) monitoring of services provided by third parties, in particular IT services, in order to ensure compliance with applicable accounting rules and company policies, (2) designing and implementing controls necessary to ensure the integrity and accuracy of key reports used by owners and (3) implementing self-assessment controls for our processes.

With respect to the deficiencies detected in 2019 concerning the design and operational effectiveness of the controls established in the accounting closing process, we will finalize our accounting policies and procedures manual to ensure the (1) timely evaluation of the impact of new accounting rules, (2) timely adoption of new accounting rules and (3) accurate recording of our operations.

In the first quarter of 2020, we finalized the implementation of segregation of duties for our new employee payroll system (SAP) and will be testing such controls throughout the year. We are working to implement segregation of duties for our existing construction worker payroll system.

Furthermore, we will continue to monitor and assess our remediation activities to address the material weaknesses described above through remediation as soon as practicable. The implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described above.

The process of designing and implementing an effective reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. See “Item 3. Key Information— D. Risk Factors — We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we cannot maintain effective internal controls or provide reliable financial and other information in the future, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our ADSs.” If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud or fail to meet our reporting obligations, and investor confidence and the market price of our ADSs may be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During 2019, the company made changes to its internal control over financing reporting to address material weaknesses identified during 2018. The company continued implementing its remedial plan as described in Item 15.B. of the annual report for the 2018 fiscal year. Specifically, the company addressed material weaknesses in its SOX compliance, risk management system, controls over segregation of duties and revenue recognition process, as follows:

 

   

We determined the subsidiaries to be included in the scope of SOX testing, completed the implementation of controls over such subsidiaries and performed the testing of these controls in design and effectiveness over financial reporting. During 2019, the company undertook a plan to correct the deficiencies in operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance in the subsidiaries who were in the scope of SOX testing, including the implementation and testing of controls over such subsidiaries to comply with the SOX regulation. During 2019, we were able to partially remediate the deficiencies in operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance identified and plan to remediate our remaining deficiencies during 2020, as outlined in our remediation plan above.

 

   

We prepared and initiated the implementation of a company risk manual that (1) formalizes our risk appetite limits and their management and (2) includes a methodology and process for identification, evaluation and quantification of risks, a continuous improvement plan and a monitoring and reporting process.

 

   

We revised our controls over the accounting process to ensure that financial statements are assessed, that supporting documentation of accounting entries is provided, that there is a correct segregation of duties between preparation and approval of accounting entries.. As described in Item 15.B above, we have still identified deficiencies over the accounting closing process which we will address in our 2020 remediation plan.

 

   

We also completed the assignment of profiles for registration of transactions in the Oracle system, to remediate the material weakness that we identified at the end of 2018.

 

   

We revised our revenue recognition process to ensure that the criteria for, and the documentation supporting, the recognition of revenue and the determination of related provisions, including construction contract revenues and contingent revenues, is applied correctly.

During 2019, the company, through its senior management, continued to implement programs to strengthen ethics, compliance and the tone of the top of the organization affecting how the organization performs risk management, financial analysis, accounting and financial reporting. These activities included: ethics training programs, which were completed by approximately 87% of employees; conflicts of interest declarations required of all employees; strengthening the hiring process; continuation of a communication program for all employees with respect to the company’s compliance policies; continued application of a due diligence program to third parties (partners and suppliers) and employees as part of our fraud risk program; and enactment of a plan to enhance the new internal control system across the company, the implementation of which is ongoing, including an enhanced risk management process that identifies, mitigates, monitors and reports key risks at various levels in the business.

During 2019, the company continued the review of its processes to identify deficiencies in controls to address risks related to material misstatements. These processes included: accounting closing, contract documentation, segregation of duties, project management, and new business engagement. Of the five material weaknesses identified in 2018, the company was able to partially remediate such deficiencies and in 2019, three out of such five material weaknesses were no longer classified as material weaknesses. We are in the process of implementing the remediation plan described in Item 15.B. above, which is expected to be completed during 2020.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance standards. Under NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practices of its home country and not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies with securities listed on the exchange.

We currently follow certain Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. There are significant differences in the Peruvian corporate governance practices as compared to those followed by United States domestic companies under the NYSE’s listing standards.

The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must have a majority of independent directors. Under Peruvian corporate governance practices, a Peruvian company is not required to have a majority of independent members on its board of directors. However we currently have a majority of independent directors on our board in accordance with NYSE independence standards. Our Audit and Process Committee is comprised of independent directors under SEC rules applicable to foreign private issuers. Additionally, our Human Resource Management Committee is currently comprised of independent directors, while our Investment Committee and our Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee are currently comprised of a majority of independent directors, in each case under NYSE independence standards. Our Human Resource Management Committee is not the equivalent of, or wholly comparable to, a U.S. compensation committee.

 

175


Table of Contents

The listing standards for the NYSE also require that U.S. listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee (in addition to an audit committee). Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards. Under Peruvian law, a Peruvian company may, but is not required to, form such committees, which may be composed partially or entirely of non-independent directors. Accordingly, we do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee.

In addition, NYSE rules require the independent non-executive directors of U.S. listed companies to meet on a regular basis without management being present. There is no similar requirement under Peruvian law, accordingly, we do not have such meetings.

The NYSE’s listing standards also require U.S. listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. In July 2002, the Peruvian Securities Commission and a committee comprised of regulatory agencies and associations prepared and published a list of suggested non-mandatory corporate governance guidelines called the “Principles of Good Governance for Peruvian Companies.” These principles are disclosed on the Peruvian Securities Commission web page http://www.smv.gob.pe and the Lima Stock Exchange web page http://www.bvl.com.pe. Although we have implemented a number of these measures and have been selected to form part of the Best Corporate Governance Practices Index of the Lima Stock Exchange, we are not required to comply with the referred corporate governance guidelines by law or regulation.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Graña y Montero S.A.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also, in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date:

 

-

Deficiencies in the design and operational effectiveness of controls in the payroll process with respect to the data migration and implementation of the new payroll systems and segregation of duties in such systems.

 

-

Deficiencies in the design and operational effectiveness of the controls established in the accounting closing process with respect to the preparation and review of the annual and interim financial statements, including the lack of supporting documentation for significant transactions prior to reflecting in accounting records, late adoption of applicable accounting rules affecting our interim consolidated financial statements, delay in undertaking evaluations required under IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and failure to finalize a manual for accounting policies for all subsidiaries and the group as a whole.

 

-

Deficiencies in the operational effectiveness of controls over SOX compliance.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in the Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2019 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Emphasis of Certain Matters

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Graña y Montero S.A.A. has been included as a responsible third party in the investigations related to the IIRSA case and has an exposure to the preliminary investigation process conducted in relation to the Gasoducto Sur Peruano project; GyM S.A. (a subsidiary of Graña y Montero S.A.A.) has been included as a responsible third party in IIRSA cases, the Electric Train Construction and Construction Club and has also been included in a Sanctioning Administrative Process by a Peruvian regulatory entity for the existence of a alleged cartel called the Construction Club. Likewise, Concar S.A. (a subsidiary of Graña y Montero S.A.A.) has been required to be included in the investigation process of the Construction Club. The aforementioned Note 1 also describes that the Company signed an agreement of understanding with the Peruvian authorities where they undertake to enter into a definitive plea agreement regarding the contingencies it faces as a consequence of the aforementioned processes. The Company’s Management does not rule out the possibility of finding, in the future, adverse evidence, nor does it rule out that the authorities or third parties will find, in the future, adverse evidence not currently known to date during the investigations being conducted.

As indicated in the Notes 12 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an account receivable from Gasoducto Sur Peruano (an associate entity of Graña y Montero S.A.A.) for S/ 544 million as of December 31, 2019. Gasoducto Sur Peruano entered into a bankruptcy process due to the early termination of the concession contract with the Peruvian government to build, operate and maintain the transportation system for natural gas pipelines, this process is in the creditors’ recognition stage that will form the creditors’ assembly. Based on the preliminary plea agreement signed with the Peruvian authorities, the Company desisted from requesting an arbitration for the collection of that debt; however, according to the opinion of its legal advisors, the Company considers that Gasoducto Sur Peruano can exercise its right to collect from the Peruvian State for the net book value of the concession assets and thus recover the corresponding accounts receivable.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Authorization for the issue of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, have been prepared and issued with Management and Board of Directors’ authorization on March 5, 2020, and will be submitted for consideration and approval at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held within the term established by Peruvian law. Management expects that the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, will be approved with no changes.

 

  c)

Current situation of the Company

As a result of decisions of a previous administration, the Group is involved in a series of corruption cases mainly between 2004 and 2015, which have generated criminal investigations by the Prosecutor’s Office and administrative investigations by a regulatory body. Such situations led to organizational changes, external investigations, independent of the Company’s Management, related to the Group’s business with Odebrecht and the facts under criminal investigation, as well as other internal measures as explained below:

 

   

On January 9, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the performance of an independent investigation related to six projects developed in association with companies of the Odebrecht Group.

 

   

On March 30, 2017, the Board of Directors created a Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee, who was in charge of the oversight of the investigation independently of Management. The external investigation was undertaken by the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, with the assistance of forensic accountants, who reported exclusively to the Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee.

 

   

The external investigation concluded on November 2, 2017 and identified no evidence to conclude that any company personnel engaged in bribery in connection with any of our Company’s public projects in Peru with Odebrecht or its subsidiaries, or that any Company personnel was aware of, or knowingly participated in, any corrupt payments made in relation to such projects.

Subsequently, in August 2019, José Graña Miró Quesada, a shareholder and the former chairman of our Company, indicated in public statements to the media that he and Hernando Graña Acuña, a shareholder and former board member of our Company and the former chairman of our subsidiary GyM, had initiated a process of plea bargaining to cooperate with Peruvian prosecutors in respect of multiple projects in which our Company participated with Odebrecht and in respect of the alleged “construction club.” According to news reports, in the plea bargaining process, José Graña and Hernando Graña may have provided information related to wrongdoing or knowledge of improper behavior while they were at the Company; however, given the confidential nature of these proceedings, the reported information is limited and difficult to verify. Any admission or other evidence of wrongdoing or knowledge by José Graña or Hernando Graña of improper behavior in respect of our participation in consortia with Odebrecht would be inconsistent with information gathered during the internal investigation and would have a material impact on the findings of the prior internal investigation.

 

   

As new information about the various Peruvian criminal investigations of the Company emerged, and news that the Company’s former chairman and director were plea bargaining with Peruvian authorities, the Company’s Board of Directors continued to investigate the allegations that were the subject of the investigations, including matters relating to the “construction club,” which was beyond the scope of the internal investigation conducted by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. After an extensive and detailed review process, in line with its commitment to transparency and integrity, the Company shared information relevant to the investigations with the Peruvian authorities within the framework of a plea bargain process.

 

   

As a result of its contribution to the investigations, on December 27, 2019, the Company signed a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement whereby the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and the Ad hoc Prosecutor’s Office promise to execute a final plea bargain agreement with the Company that would provide the Company with certainty regarding the contingencies it faces as a result of the above-mentioned processes. Additionally, in the aforementioned preliminary agreement, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and the Ad Hoc Attorney General’s Office authorize the Company to disclose its existence but maintain its content confidential.

At the same time, over the last three years, the new administration together with the new board initiated a transformation process based on the principles of Truth, Transparency and Integrity, making profound changes in the organization of the Company,such as the reconfiguration of the Board of Directors with an independent majority, new shareholding composition, as well as the creation of new governance practices, such as the Corporate Risk Management and autonomous Compliance function, with direct report to the Board of Directors, among other actions.

Criminal investigations derived from projects developed in partnership with companies of the Odebrecht group

In connection with the Lava Jato case, the Company participated directly or through its subsidiaries as minority partner in certain entities that developed six infrastructure projects in Peru with companies belonging to the Odebrecht group (hereinafter Odebrecht).

In 2016, Odebrecht entered into a Plea Agreement with the authorities of the United States Department of Justice and the Office of the District Attorney for the Eastern District of New York by which it admitted corruption acts in connection with some of these projects in which the Company participate as minority partner.

 

   

IIRSA Sur

In relation to investigations on IIRSA Sur, the former Chairman of the Board of Directors was included as a subject of an investigation for collusion, and a former director and a former executive was included as a subject of an investigation for money laundering. Subsequently, Graña y Montero S.A.A. and GyM S.A. have been included as third-party civilians responsible in the process, which means that it will be assessed whether the obligation to indemnify the state for damages resulting from the facts under investigation will be imposed on these entities.

 

   

Electric Train construction project

The first Preparatory Investigation Court of the Judiciary decided to incorporate GyM S.A. as civil third-party responsible in the process related to the construction of the Electric train construction Project, tranches 1 and 2. In this investigation the former Chairman of the Board, a former director and a former manager have been charged.

 

   

Gasoducto Sur Peruano (GSP)

In 2019, the Company concluded that it may have exposure with respect to the preliminary investigation process conducted in relation to GSP (the South Peruvian Gas Pipeline project), even though as of the date hereof, it has not been indicted or incorporated as a civilly liable third-party, although the former Chairman of the Board of Directors and a former director are seeking plea bargain agreements in relation to this process, among others.

Table of Contents

In addition to the cases described for which a provision for civil damages has been registered, there are two projects carried out in partnership with Odebrecht that are not currently under investigation. If an investigation is initiated and evidence of wrongdoing is found, the maximum possible civil damage exposure estimated under Law 30737 for both projects would be S/52.7 million (US$16 million approximately).

Criminal investigations in conection to the Construction Club case

GyM S.A. has been incorporated, along with other construction companies, in the criminal investigation that the Public Ministry has been carrying out for the alleged crime of corruption of officials in relation to the so-called Construction Club. Similarly, at the end of February 2020, the Public Ministry has requested the incorporation of Concar S.A., the latter is pending judicial decision.

Like officials of other construction companies, a former commercial manager of GyM S.A., the former president of the Board of Directors, a former director and the former Corporate General Manager of the company have been included in the criminal investigation.

Anticorruption Law - effects on the Group

Law 30737 and its regulation issued by Supreme Decree 096-2018-EF have mitigated the Company and subsidiaries exposure to the corruption cases. These rules set clear guidelines to estimate the potential compensation reducing the uncertainty derived from the legal proceedings, by among other things, preventing the imposition of liens or attachments of assets that would impair its ability to operate.

The benefits of the mentioned rules are subject to the fulfillment of the following obligations:

 

   

The obligation to set up a trust that will guarantee any eventual payment obligation of an eventual civil compensation in favor of the Peruvian Government;

 

   

The obligation not to transfer funds abroad without the prior consent of the Ministry of Justice;

 

   

The implementation of a compliance program; and

 

   

The obligation to disclose information to the authorities and to collaborate in the investigation.

The Group has designed a compliance program which is currently under implementation, it fully cooperates with the authorities in its investigations and has executed a trust agreement with the Ministry of Justice, under which the Company has established for an approximate amount of S/80 million (equivalent to US$24 million).

On the other hand, based on the standards indicated and their guidelines, Management has estimated that the value of the civil damages for the cases described above is S/280 million (US$85 million) and has registered as of December 31st, 2019 S/153.9 million (equivalent to US$46.6 million) as net present value (Note 22).

On the other hand, in cases where a provision for civil reparation has been registered, there are two projects carried out in partnership with Odebrecht that to date are not under investigation. If this is started and some evidence is found, the maximum possible exposure for civil reparation estimated according to Law 30737 for both projects would be S/52.7 million (approximately US$16 million).

However, the Company, through its external legal advisors, continues to conduct an ongoing evaluation of the information related to the criminal investigations described in this note in order to keep its defense prepared in the event any new charges may arise during those investigations. In conducting the aforementioned evaluation, the Company does not rule out the possibility of finding new incriminating evidence that is not known to date.

Investigations and administrative process initiated by INDECOPI in conection to the Construction Club case

On July 11, 2017, the Peruvian National Institute for the Defense of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (“INDECOPI”) initiated an investigation against several construction companies, including GyM S.A., about the existence of an alleged cartel called the Construction Club.

Throughout the investigation, GyM S.A. has provided to INDECOPI with all the information requested and continues collaborating with the ongoing investigation.

On February 11, 2020, GyM S.A. was notified by the Technical Secretariat of the Commission for the Defense of Free Competition (“INDECOPI”) with the resolution that begins a sanctioning administrative procedure involving a total of 35 companies and 28 natural persons, for alleged anticompetitive conduct in the market of Public Works. The resolution does not include the assignment of responsibilities or the result of the administrative disciplinary procedure, which will be determined at the end of the said procedure. The procedure is in a probatory stage, therefore, INDECOPI has not carried out actions in order to quantifying the possible penalties that could result.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied in all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

 

2.1

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB in force as of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Peruvian Sol unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires that the Management exercise its critical judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

 

2.2

Consolidation of financial statements

 

  a)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date when control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

 

F-12


Table of Contents

The Group evaluates the measurement of the non-controlling interest on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, the measurements of the non-controlling interest in the Group’s acquisitions were made at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Business acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration assumed by the Group with the selling party is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” as profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the acquisition cost, the fair value at the acquisition date of any interest previously acquired plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed. If the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss at the time of acquisition.

For consolidating subsidiaries, balances, income, and expenses from transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognized as assets are also eliminated. Group companies use common accounting practices, except for those that are specifically required for specific businesses.

 

  b)

Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, in other words as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between the fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interest are also recorded in equity at the time of disposal.

 

  c)

Disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group ceases to have control over a subsidiary, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss at such date. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

 

  d)

Joint arrangements

Contracts in which the Group and one or more of the contracting parties have joint control on the relevant joint activities are called joint arrangements.

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be both joint ventures as well as joint operations.

Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in the comprehensive income statement.

 

F-13


Table of Contents

The Group assesses on an annual basis whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the joint ventures and associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the impairment loss in share of the profit or loss in associates and joint ventures under the equity method of accounting in the income statement. In addition, the Group stops the use of the equity method if the entity ceases to be an operating entity.

Joint operations are joint arrangements whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement, have rights over the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Each party recognizes its assets, liabilities, revenue and cost and its share of any asset or liability jointly held and, on any revenue, or cost arisen from the joint operation.

In the Group, joint operations mainly relate to consortiums (entities without legal personality) created exclusively for the development of a construction contract. Considering that the only objective of the consortium is to develop a specific project, all revenue and costs are included within revenue from construction activities and cost of construction activities, respectively.

 

  e)

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method (see section d) above).

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Impairment losses are measured and recorded in accordance with section d) above.

 

2.3

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a consistent manner with internal reporting provided to the Management of the Group.

If an entity changes the structure of its internal organization in a manner that causes the composition of its reportable segments to change, the Group restates the information for earlier periods unless the information is not available.

 

2.4

Foreign currency translation

 

  a)

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Peruvian soles, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group. All subsidiaries, joint arrangements, and associates use the Peruvian Sol as their functional currency, except for foreign entities, for which the functional currency is the currency of the country in which they operate.

 

  b)

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using prevailing the exchange rates at the date of the transactions or valuation when items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income. Foreign exchange gains and losses of all monetary items are included in the income statement within financial income or expense.

 

F-14


Table of Contents

Exchange differences arising on loans from the Company to its subsidiaries in foreign currencies are recognized in the separate financial statements of the Company and separate financial statements of the subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements, such exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and are re-classified in the income statement on the disposal of the subsidiary or debt repayment to the extent such loans qualify as part of the “net investment in a foreign operation”.

 

  c)

Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

  i)

Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position are translated using the closing exchange rate prevailing at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position;

 

  ii)

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at the average exchange rate (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction);

 

  iii)

capital is translated by using the historical exchange rate for each capital contribution made; and

 

  iv)

all exchange differences are recognized as separate components in other comprehensive income, within foreign currency translations adjustment.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

2.5

Public services concession agreements

Concession agreements signed between the Group and the Peruvian Government entitle the Group, as a Concessionaire, to assume obligations for the construction or improvement of infrastructure and which qualify as public service concessions are accounted as defined by IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements”. The consideration to be received from the Government for the services of constructing or improving public infrastructure is recognized as a financial asset, an intangible asset or both, as stated below:

 

  a)

It is recognized as a financial asset to the extent that it has a contractual right to receive cash or other financial assets either because the Government secures the payment of specified or determinable amounts or because the Government will cover any difference arising from the amounts actually received from public service users in relation with the specified or determinable amounts. These financial assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost (financial asset model).

 

  b)

It is recognized as an intangible asset to the extent that the service agreement grants the Group a contractual right to charge users of the public service. The resulting intangible asset is measured at cost and is amortized as described in Note 2.15 (intangible asset model).

 

  c)

It is recognized as a financial asset and an intangible asset when the Group recovers its investment partially by a financial asset and partially by an intangible asset (bifurcated model).

 

2.6

Cash and cash equivalents

In the consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, on-demand bank deposits, other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are included in the balance of borrowings as current liabilities.

Financial assets

 

2.7.1

 Classification and measurement

The Group classifies its financial assets, according to its subsequent measurement, in the following categories: i) amortized cost; ii) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and iii) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired on the basis of the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at the date of its initial recognition and re-evaluates this classification at the date of each closing of its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, the Group only maintains financial assets in the following categories:

 

a)

Amortized cost

This category is the most relevant for the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if the following conditions are met:

i) The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of maintaining the financial assets to obtain the contractual cash flows; and

ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flows, on specific dates, that are only payments of the principal and interest on the amount of the outstanding principal.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Profits and losses are recognized in profits or losses when the asset is written off, modified or impaired.

Trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related companies, other accounts receivable, work in progress and cash and cash equivalents are included in current assets except for those over twelve months after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The latter are classified as non-current assets.

 

b)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive results

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of the Group are classified in this category when they meet the following conditions:

i) keep them within a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows that are only payments of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

The investment account at Inversiones en Autopistas S.A. is included in this category.

 

c)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized costs or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The result in a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through gains and losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are non-derivative financial assets designated by the Group at their fair value upon initial recognition and are held for sale. These are included in current assets.

 

F-16


Table of Contents
2.7.2

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights over the cash flows of the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which all the risks and benefits of ownership of the financial asset are substantially transferred, or does not transfer or retain substantially all the risks and benefits related to the property and does not retain control over the assets transferred.

The Group participates in transactions in which it transfers the assets recognized in its statement of financial position but retains all or substantially all the risks and advantages of the assets transferred, and/or control over them. In these cases, the assets transferred are not derecognized and are measured on a basis that reflects rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

 

2.8

Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, requires to register expected credit losses of all financial assets, except for those that are carried at fair value with an effect on results, estimating it over 12 months or for the entire life of the financial instrument (“lifetime”). In accordance with the provisions of the standard, the Group applies the simplified approach (which estimates the loss for the entire life of the financial instrument), for the commercial debtors of the rental business line of the real estate sector, and the general approach for the trade accounts receivables, work in progress and other accounts receivable; the same that requires evaluating whether or not a significant increase in risk exists to determine whether the loss should be estimated based on 12 months after the reporting date or during the entire life of the asset.

The Group has established a policy to conduct an evaluation, at the end of each reporting period, to identify whether the asset has suffered a significant increase in credit risk since the initial date. Both the credit losses expected at 12 months and the expected credit losses during the life of the asset are calculated individually or collectively, depending on the nature of the portfolio.

For financial assets for which the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering, either the entire outstanding amount or a portion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a decrease in (partial) accounts of the financial asset.

 

2.9

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is signed into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The method for recognizing the gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of the derivatives depends on whether they are designated as hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge). Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date of subscription of the contract and are subsequently recognized at their fair value.

The Group documents, at the inception of the transaction, the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedges transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception as at the date of each subsequent statement of financial position, of whether the derivatives used in hedges transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The fair value of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes and changes in the account reserves for hedges in equity are disclosed in Note 8. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity period of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity period of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability.

 

F-17


Table of Contents

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges is recognized as other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when the forecasted sale that is hedged takes place).

The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the income statement as “Financial income or Financial expenses”.

However, when the forecasted transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory or fixed assets), the gains or losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and are included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset. The deferred amounts are finally recognized in cost of goods sold in the case of inventory or depreciation in the case of fixed assets.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and will be reversed to income when the forecasted transaction is finally recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement within “other income and expenses, net”.

 

2.10

Trade accounts receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services sold by the Group. If the collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. In the Infrastructure segment, it includes the billing of the first purchase of trains as part of the model of the financial asset of the concessionaire GyM Ferrovías S.A (Note 2.5).

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, except for receivables of less than one year that are stated at a nominal amount which is similar to their fair values since they are short term.

It includes management estimates related to the collection rights for services performed pending invoice and/or approval by client, which have been valued using the completion percentage method. It corresponds mainly to the Engineering and Construction segment (subsidiaries GyM S.A. and GMI S.A.). Regarding estimates in concessions, at the Infrastructure segment, corresponds to unconditional contractual collection rights to receive from the Grantor under the model of the financial asset (Note 2.5).

 

2.11

Work in progress

This account includes the balance of work in progress costs incurred that relates to future activities of the construction contracts and the constructions phase in concessions (see Note 2.26 for detail on revenue recognition from construction activities and concessions services).

Changes in estimates of contract revenues and costs can increase or decrease the estimated margin. When a change in the estimate is known, the cumulative impact of the change is recorded in the period in which it is known, based on the progress completed.

 

F-18


Table of Contents
2.12

 Inventories

The inventories include land, works in progress and finished buildings related to the real estate activity, materials used in the construction activity and marketed supplies for exploration and extraction activities.

 

  a)

Real estate activity

Land used for the execution of real estate projects is recognized at acquisition cost. Work in progress and finished real estate includes the costs of design, materials, direct labor, borrowing costs (directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, production of the asset), other indirect costs and general expenses related to the construction.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Annually, the Group reviews whether inventories have been impaired identifying three groups of inventories to measure their net realizable value: i) land bought for future real estate projects which are compared to their net appraisal value; if the acquisition value is higher, a provision of impairment is recognized; ii) land under construction, impairment is measured based on cost projections; if these costs are higher than selling prices of each real estate unit, an impairment estimated is recorded; and iii) completed real estate units; these inventory items are compared to the selling prices less selling expenses; if these selling expenses are higher, a provision for impairment is recorded.

For the reductions in the carrying amount of these inventories to their net realizable value, a provision is recognized for impairment of inventories with a charge to profit or loss for the year in which those reductions occur.

 

  b)

Exploration and extraction activities

Inventories are valued at production costs or net realizable value (NRV), the one with the lowest result, on the basis of the weighted average method. The NRV represents the value at which it is estimated to make oil, gas and its derivatives LPG and HAS, which is calculated on the basis of international prices at which discounts that are usually granted are deducted. Miscellaneous supplies, materials, and spare parts are valued at cost or replacement value, whichever is less based on the average method. The cost of inventories excludes financing expenses and exchange differences. Inventories to be received are recorded at cost by the specific identification method.

The Group constitutes a devaluation of materials charged to income for the year in cases in which the book value exceeds its recoverable value.

 

  c)

Other activities

Materials and supplies are recorded at cost by the weighted average method or at their replacement value, the lower. The cost of these items includes freight and non-refundable applicable taxes.

The devaluation of these items is estimated on the basis of specific analyses made by the Management on its rotation. If it is identified that the book value of the stocks of materials and supplies exceeds their replacement value, the difference is charged to income in the year in which this situation is determined.

Management considers that as of the date of the consolidated financial statements it is not necessary to establish additional provisions to those recognized in the financial statements to cover losses due to obsolescence of these inventories.

 

2.13

 Investment property

Investment properties are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs attributable to investment properties are capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the cost of these assets can be measured reliably; if not, they are recognized as expenses when incurred.

 

F-19

Repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit and loss when they are incurred. If the property’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the recoverable amount is recognized.

Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method at a rate that is considered sufficient to absorb the cost of the assets and the end of the useful life and considered their significant components with useful lives substantially different (each component is treated separately for depreciation purposes). The estimated useful lives of those properties range from 3 to 33 years.

The investment properties held by the Group correspond to: (i) “Agustino Plaza” Shopping Center, located in the El Agustino District, and (ii) the stores situated within the stations of Line 1 of the Lima Metro; the properties owned by the subsidiary Viva GyM S.A. are represented by a fair value amount to US$18.7 million, equivalent to S/62.6 million as of December 31, 2019 (US$19.2 million, equivalent to S/64.3 million, as of December 31 of 2018).

These investment properties have been leased under the modality of an operating lease.

 

2.14

 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Assets under construction are capitalized as a separate component. At their completion, the cost of such assets is transferred to their definitive category.

Replacement units are major spare parts in which depreciation starts when the units are installed for use within the related asset.

Depreciation of machinery, equipment and vehicles recognized as “Major equipment” are depreciated based on their hours of use. Under this method, the total number of work hours that machinery and equipment are capable of producing is estimated and a charge per hour is determined. The depreciation of other assets that do not qualify as “Major equipment” is calculated under the straight-line method to allocate their cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

     Years  

Buildings and facilities

     Between 3 and 33  

Machinery and equipment

     Between 4 and 10  

Vehicles

     Between 2 and 10  

Furniture and fixtures

     Between 2 and 10  

Other equipment

     Between 2 and 10  

Residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are recognized in “Other income and expenses, net” in the statement of income. Regarding joint operations that carry out construction activities, the difference between the proceeds from disposals of fixed assets and their carrying amount is shown within “revenue from construction activities” and “cost of construction activities”, respectively.

 Intangible assets

 

  i)

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the purchase consideration, the amount of any non-controlling interest and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. If the payment made, the amount of the non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of income.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating units (CGU), or group of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.

Goodwill impairment reviews are performed at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense in item “Other income and expenses, net” and cannot be reversed later.

 

  ii)

Trademarks

Trademarks acquired separately are shown at historical cost. Trademarks acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Management has determined that these trademarks have indefinite useful lives.

Trademark impairment reviews are performed at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense in item “Other income and expenses, net”. The carrying amount that has been subject to impairment is reviewed at each reporting date to verify possible reversals of the impairment and is recognized in the “other income and expenses, net” item.

 

  iii)

Concession rights

The intangible asset consisting of the right to charge users for the services related to service concessions agreements (Note 2.5 and Note 6.b) is initially recorded at the fair value of construction or improvement services and before amortization is started, an impairment test is performed; it is amortized under the straight-line method, from the date revenue starts using the lower of its estimated expected useful life or effective period of the concession agreement.

 

  iv)

Contractual relationships with customers

Contractual relationships with customers are assets resulting from business combinations that were initially recognized at fair value as determined based on the expected cash flows from those relations over a period based on the estimated permanent of the Group’s customer (the estimation of useful life is based on the term of the contract with customers which fluctuate between 5 and 9 years). The useful life and the impairment of these assets are individually assessed.

 

  v)

Cost of development wells

Costs incurred to prepare the wells to extract hydrocarbons from Blocks I and V are capitalized as part of the intangible asset. The Group capitalizes the costs of the development phase associated with wells preparation for extraction. The last investment made in these wells were in 2015. These costs are amortized based on the useful lives of the wells (5 years for the oil lots). The produced units method applies to license agreements for Blocks III and IV. In 2017, the Group has considered depreciation or amortization for the wells in Block IV based on produced units, as well as the tangible proportional part of the wells.

  vi)

Software and development costs

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

 

   

technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use.

 

   

management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it.

 

   

there is the ability to use or sell the software product.

 

   

it can be demonstrated how the software product will probably generate future economic benefits.

 

   

technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the software product; and

 

   

expenses incurred during its development can be reliably measured.

Other development costs that do not meet these criteria are recognized in the statement of income as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which fluctuate between 2 to 15 years.

 

  vii)

Land use rights

Refers to the rights maintained by the subsidiary Promotora Larcomar S.A. Land use of rights are stated at historical cost less amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful life of this asset is based on the agreement signed (60 years) and may be extended if agreed by parties. Amortization will begin when it becomes ready for its intended use by Management.

 

2.16

 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets subject to amortization are subject to impairment tests when events or circumstances occur that indicate that their book value may not be recovered. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value of the assets corresponds to the higher of its fair value and its value in use. For purposes of the impairment assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels in which they generate identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). The book value of non-financial assets other than goodwill that have been subject to write-offs for impairment is reviewed at each reporting date to verify possible reversals of impairment.

 

2.17

Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities of the Group include trade accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, remuneration and other accounts payable. All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if the payment must be made within a year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if it is greater). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

 

2.18

Trade accounts payable

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Accounts payable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently are amortized at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for accounts payable within less than one year that are recorded at their nominal value that is similar to their fair value due to its maturity in the short term.

 

F-22


Table of Contents
2.19

Other financial liabilities

Corresponds to the loans and bonds issued by the Group, which are initially recognized at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. These financial liabilities are subsequently recorded at amortized cost; any difference between the funds received (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of income during the period of the loan using the effective interest method.

The costs incurred to obtain these financial liabilities are recognized as transaction costs to the extent that it is probable that part or the entire loan will be received. In this case, these charges are deferred until the time the loan is received.

 

2.20

Borrowing costs

Debt costs are recognized at the statement of income in the period in which they have been incurred, except for intangible assets and inventories in which the borrowing costs are capitalized.

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period (more than 12 months) to reach their condition of use or sale, are added to the cost of said assets until the period when the assets are substantially ready for use or sale. The Group suspends the capitalization of borrowing costs during the periods in which the development of activities of a qualified asset has been suspended. The income obtained from the temporary investment of specific loans that have not yet been invested in qualified assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

 

2.21

Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is also recognized in the statement of comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax is calculated based on the tax laws enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management, where appropriate, establishes provisions based on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and legislation) that have been enacted as of the date of the statement of financial position and that are expected to be applicable when the deferred income tax is realized or paid.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax arising from the initial recognition of goodwill is not recognized; likewise, the deferred tax is not recorded if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that does not affect the accounting or tax profit or loss at the time of the transaction.

2.22

Employee benefits

The Group recognizes a liability when the employee has rendered services in exchange for which is entitled to receive future payments and an expense when the Group has consumed the economic benefit from the service provided by the employee in exchange for the benefits in question.

The Group determines employee benefits in accordance with current labor and legal regulations and classifies them as short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, long-term benefits, and termination benefits.

Short-term benefits are those other than termination indemnities, whose payment is settled in the twelve months following the end of the period in which the employees have rendered the services; they correspond to current remunerations (salaries, wages and contributions to social security), annual paid and sick absences, participation in profits and incentives and other non-monetary benefits.

Post-employment benefits are those other than termination benefits that are paid after completing the period of employment with the entity. Retirement benefits or post-employment benefit plans can be classified into (i) Defined contribution plans and (ii) Defined benefit plans. The Group maintains defined benefit plans and therefore assumes the actuarial risk.

Long-term benefits are those benefits that must be paid more than twelve months after the end of the period in which the services were rendered. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, the Group does not grant benefits in this category.

Termination benefits are those benefits payable as a result of (i) the entity’s decision to terminate the employee’s contract before the retirement date, and (ii) the employee’s decision to voluntarily accept the conclusion of the relationship of work.

Short-term benefits:

 

  a)

Current salaries and wages

The current remunerations are constituted by salaries, wages, contributions to social security, statutory bonuses and compensation for the time of services. Salaries, wages, and contributions to social security are settled on a monthly basis.

Entities of the Group recognize the expense and the related liability for statutory bonuses based on applicable laws and regulations effective in Peru, Chile, and Colombia. In Peru bonuses correspond to two monthly payments, settled one in July and one in December of each year, and accrue based on the consideration of the service.

The compensation for the time of service corresponds to the indemnification rights of the staff, and is accrued based on the consideration of the service calculated according to the legislation in force in each country in which the entities of the Group operate and determine as follows: (i) in Peru it is equivalent to half the remuneration in force at the date of payment through a deposit in bank the workers’ accounts in May and November of each year; (ii) In Colombia, it is equivalent to 8.33% of the monthly remuneration, (iii) In Chile this benefit is not available.

 

  b)

Annual paid absences

Annual holidays are recognized on an accrual basis. The provision for the estimated obligation for the annual vacations of personnel resulting from the services rendered by employees is recognized on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and corresponds; (i) one month for personnel in Peru, (ii) fifteen days for personnel in Colombia, and (iii) in the case of Chile, they are subject to the worker’s seniority and range from fifteen to thirty days.

 

F-24


Table of Contents
  c)

Workers’ profit sharing and incentives

The workers’ profit sharing is determined on the basis of the legal provisions in force in each country where the entities of the Group operate, as follows: (i) in Peru it is equivalent to 5% of the taxable base determined by each entity of the Group, in accordance with current income tax legislation, (ii) in Chile, workers’ participation is a component of the remuneration (equivalent to 4.75 minimum wages per year) and not a determinable percentage of the profit, (iii) in Colombia these benefits are not provided to employees.

Post-employment benefits

The indirect subsidiary Cam Chile Spa has a pension plan for its staff. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position with respect to defined benefit plan is measured based on the present value of the obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of the planned assets.

The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and with maturity periods similar to the obligations for pension plans. In countries where there is no market with instruments with similar characteristics, the market rate of government bonds will be used.

The remeasurements that arise from adjustments and changes in the actuarial assumptions are recorded in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Termination benefits

The Group entities recognize the liability and expense for severance payments when they occur, based on the legal provisions in force in each country. In accordance with the legislation of Peru, the compensation for arbitrary dismissal for personnel with an indefinite contract amounts to 1.5 times the monthly remuneration for each year worked.

In Colombian legislation, for the first year worked, the equivalent of 30 days of salary is granted, and from the second year on, the compensation will be the equivalent of 20 days of salary for each additional year (or the proportion); in the legislation of Chile is granted compensation of thirty days of salary for each year worked with a maximum salary of 330 days.

 

2.23

Provisions

 

  a)

General

Provisions are recognized when i) the Group has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and iii) the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed at year - end. If the time value of money is significant, provisions are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects, when applicable, the specific risks related to the liability. Reversal of the discount due to the passage of time results in the obligation being recognized with a charge to the statement of income as a financial expense.

Contingent obligations when their existence will only be confirmed by future events or their amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are not recognized and are disclosed only if it is probable that the Group will generate an income from economic benefits in the future.

 

  b)

Provision for the closure of production wells

The subsidiary GMP S.A. recognizes a provision for the closure of operating units that correspond to the legal obligation to close oil production wells once the production phase has been completed. At the initial date of recognition, the liability that arises from this obligation measured at its fair value and discounted at its present value, according to the valuation techniques established by IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”, and is simultaneously charged to the intangible account in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

F-25


Table of Contents

Subsequently, the liability is increased in each period to reflect the financial cost considered in the initial measurement of the discount, and the capitalized cost is depreciated based on the useful life of the related asset. When a liability is settled, the subsidiaries recognize any gain or loss that may arise. The fair value changes estimated for the initial obligation and the interest rates used to discount the flows they are recognized as an increase or decrease in the book value of the obligation and the asset to which they relate to, any decrease in the provision, and any decrease of the asset that may exceed the carrying amount of said asset is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

If the review of the estimated obligation results in the need to increase the provision and, accordingly, increase the carrying amount of the asset, the subsidiaries should also take into consideration if the said increase corresponds to an indicator that the asset has been impaired and, if so, impairment tests are to be carried out (Note 2.16).

 

2.24

Put option arrangement

The subsidiary GyM S.A. signed a sale option contract on the equity of its subsidiary Morelco SAS (Note 32 a) that allows the shareholder to reallocate its shares over a period of 10 years. The amount payable under the option is initially recognized at the present value of the reimbursement under “Other accounts payable”, directly charged to equity. The charge to equity is recorded separately as put options subscribed on the non-controlling interest, adjacent to the non-controlling interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries.

Subsequently, the financial liability is updated by changes in the assumptions on which the estimation of the expected cash flows is based and by the financial component due to the passage of time. The effects of this update are recognized in results. In the event that the option expires without being exercised, the liability is written off with the corresponding adjustment to equity.

 

2.25

Capital

Common shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity, as a deduction, of the proceeds, net of taxes.

 

2.26

Revenue recognition from contracts with customers

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized, for each performance obligation, either during a period of time or at a specific time, depending on which method best reflects the transfer of control of the underlying products or services to the obligation of particular performance with the client.

The Group recognizes the income through the application of the five steps defined in the regulation i) identification of the contract with the client; ii) identification of performance obligations in the contract; iii) determination of the price of the transaction; iv) allocation of the transaction price for performance obligations; and v) recognition of income when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

Subsequently, the Group policy of recognition of each type of income according to IFRS 15:

 

  i)

Engineering and construction

Revenues from engineering and construction contracts are recognized over time as the Company performs its obligations because there is a continuous transfer of control of the deliverable to the customer pursuant to the terms of such contracts. For this reason, the Company accounts for revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of its performance obligations under each contract. In this manner, revenues are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, based on surveys of performance by the Company’s experts who review the work performed to date under each contract.

 

F-26


Table of Contents

The Company recognizes revenue based on surveys of work to date, using the output method, which is the direct measurement of the value to the customer of the construction services completed to date relative to the remaining services to be performed under the contract. The Company believes that the use of the output method based on surveys of performance provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services by the Company to the customer because it reflects an enforceable right to payment from the Company for the work completed to date.

The contract generates assets when the costs incurred are greater than the cost associated with those revenues. Otherwise liabilities are generated for the accrued costs not invoiced. When it is probable that the total costs of the contract will exceed the related revenue, the expected loss is immediately recognized.

Revenues for additional work resulting from a modification or an instruction received from the customer to make a change in the scope of work or the price, or both, will result in an increase in contract revenue. The Company does not account for contract modifications unless approved by the customer. In addition, the Company reviews the enforceability of changes to the rights and obligations in contract modifications.

As part of its evaluation of whether changes to the rights and obligations in a contract modification are enforceable, the Company considers whether one or more of the following factors has been satisfied: a) the contract, applicable law or other evidence provides a legal basis for the modification; b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen on the date of execution of the contract and not a result of deficiencies incurred by the Company’s performance; c) modification-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed; or d) evidence supporting the modification is objective and verifiable. When one or more of the foregoing factors is satisfied, the changes to the rights and obligations in the contract modification are considered by the Company to be enforceable.

The Company estimates the change in the transaction price arising from the contract modification if the transaction price has not yet been approved by the customer in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15 to estimate variable consideration. In order to include variable consideration related to a contract modification in the estimated transaction price, the Company must conclude that it is ‘highly probable’ that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. The Company determines the probability that the revenue reversal will occur (and therefore whether such price will be recovered) based on an analysis of whether any of the following factors is present: i) contractual entitlement; ii) past practices with the customer; iii) specific discussions or preliminary negotiations with the customer; and iv) verbal approval by the customer. If, as a result of such analysis, the Company concludes that it is ‘highly probable’ that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur, it recognizes the variable consideration relating to the contract modification.

When the contract profit cannot be estimated reliably, the associated revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred are recoverable. Revenue is billed once approval is received by the owners of the work in progress.

The nature of certain of the Company’s contracts, namely cost-plus fee contracts in its E&C segment and unit price or similar contracts in its E&C segment and certain services it provides in its Infrastructure segment, give rise to variable consideration. Depending on the type of contract, this variable consideration may include reimbursable or target costs; variable number of units; award and incentive fees; and penalties. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized as variable consideration using the expected value method or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. These methods require the Company to estimate costs, unit quantities, award/incentive fees and penalties. In making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate potential variances in the cost of materials, the cost of labor, productivity levels, the impact of change orders, liability claims and contract disputes, the achievement of contractual performance standards, and other contingencies.”

  ii)

Real-estate – Real estate, urban and industrial lots

Sale of Real estate

Revenue from sales of real estate properties is recognized when control over the property has been transferred to the client with the delivery record. Revenue is measured based on the price agreed under the contract. Until this is met, the incomes received will be counted as customer advances. These sales contracts have two performance obligations: i) the one corresponding to the transfer of the property, which includes the common areas of the building where these real estates are located, and ii) the one corresponding to the transfer of the common area outside the real estate assets but that are part of the real estate projects, which are recognized when the common area has been delivered.

Sale of urban lots

Revenue related to sales of urban lots is recognized when control over the property is transferred to the customer. Until this is met, the incomes received will be recognized as customer advances. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price agreed under the contract. These sales contracts have a single performance obligation for the sale of lots, which is executed upon delivery of the sale of the assets.

Sale of industrial lots

Revenue related to sales of industrial lots is recognized when control over the property has been transferred to the customer. Until this is met, the incomes received will be counted as customer advances. These sales contracts have two performance obligations: i) transfer of the industrial lot and ii) urban authorization of the industrial lot.

 

  iii)

Infrastructure

Revenue for provided services of oil and gas extraction, fuel dispatch and other services

The revenue from providing these services is recognized at the time the service is provided, calculating the service actually provided as a portion of the total services to be provided. This type of income has a single performance obligation; that is performed when the service is provided at a time moment.

Revenue from the sale of oil and derivative products

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the assets is transferred to the customer, which is when the goods are delivered. In this type of income there is only one performance obligation for the sale of oil; which is executed at the delivery of the goods.

Revenue from concession services

Revenues from concession services correspond to operation and maintenance services and are recognized according to their nature in the period in which the service is provided. In this revenue there is only one performance obligation, executed when the service is provided.

 

2.27

Recognition of cost and expenses

Engineering and construction contracts

Contract costs include all direct costs such as materials, labor, subcontracting costs, manufacturing and supply costs of equipment, start-up costs, depreciation and amortization, and indirect costs. Periodically, the Group evaluates the reasonableness of the estimates used in the determination of the total estimated contract cost. If, as a result of this evaluation, there are modifications to the revenue or cost previously estimated, or if the total estimated cost of the project exceeds expected revenues, an adjustment is made in order to reflect the effect in results of the period in which the adjustment or loss is incurred.

 

F-28


Table of Contents

Costs for sale of oil and derivative products

The costs of the services rendered and the costs of sales of petroleum and derivative products are recognized when they are incurred, simultaneously with the recognition of related revenues. Other costs and expenses are recognized as they accrue, regardless of when they are paid and are recorded in the accounting periods to which they relate.

Costs for concession operation services

The costs of the operation and maintenance services are recognized when they are incurred, simultaneously with the recognition of related revenues. Other costs and expenses are recognized as they are accrued, regardless of when they are paid and are recorded in the accounting periods with which they are related.

 

2.28

Leases

Lease contracts are analyzed for the purpose of identifying those containing the characteristics according to IFRS 16 Leases (hereinafter “IFRS 16”) for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure.

The Group evaluates in every lease contract the following:

 

   

If it has the right to control the use of the identified asses,

 

   

If the contract term is longer than twelve months,

 

   

If the underlying asset amount is a material amount, and,

 

   

That the fees to be paid are not entirely variable.

 

  a)

Leases in which the Group is a lessee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability as of the beginning of the lease.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured by the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payment made on or before the start date, plus the initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use assets are depreciated in a straight line, from the start date until the end of the lease contract. The term of the lease includes the periods covered by an option to extend the contract if the Group is reasonably sure to exercise that option.

The lease liability is the total unpaid installments, measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is measured again when there is a change in future lease payments that arise from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be paid under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it is sure that it will exercise a purchase, extension or term option.

When the lease liability is measured again, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted.

In the engineering and construction segment, interest expenses related to leasing contracts of the core business are reported in the gross margin; the rest of the group segments, report them in financial expenses.

Operational cash flows will be greater since cash payments for the main portion of the lease debt are classified within the financing activities. Only the part of the payments that reflects interest can continue to be presented as operating cash flow.

 

F-29


Table of Contents
  b)

Leases in which the Group is a lessor

Liabilities for operating leases and assets are included in the statement of financial position according to the nature of the asset. Revenues from operating leases are recognized in a straight line over the term of the lease agreement and the incentives granted to lessees are reduced from rental income.

Based on the foregoing, the Group as lessor has not changed the recognition of its leases.

 

  c)

Treatment before the implementation of IFRS 16

Leases in which the Group is a lessee

Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, including prepayments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the consolidated income statement under the straight-line method over the lease term. The Group’s major kinds of operating leases are leases of machinery, computer equipment, printing equipment, among others.

Finance leases

Leases in which the Group substantially assumes all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as finance leases. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other payables, short- and long-term in the consolidated statement of financial position. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the consolidated income statement of over the lease periods to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

 

2.29

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Group shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved.

 

2.30

Significant non-operating items

Significant non-operating items are separately shown in the financial statements when they are necessary to provide an adequate understanding of the Group’s financial performance. These material items are income or expenses shown separately due to their nature or significant amount.

STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS, AND INTERPRETATION ADOPTED IN 2019

 

3.1

Current standards, amendments, and interpretations adopted

The following current standards, amendments to the policies and interpretations were adopted by the Group on January 1, 2019.

 

  a)

IFRS 16 “Leases”

This standard replaces the accounting treatment of leases under IAS 17 “Leases” and IFRIC 4 “Determination of whether an agreement contains a lease” and other related interpretations.

IFRS 16 was implemented as of January 1, 2019 and the Group applied the modified retrospective approach, so that comparative information has not been restructured, recognizing on the date of initial application an amount of asset per right of use equal to lease liability; adjusted for the amount of any payment for early or accrued lease, related to leases recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

IFRS 16 eliminates the current difference between operating and finance leases and requires the recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased asset) and a financial liability for the payment of income, this for virtually all lease agreements. There is an optional exemption for short-term and low-value leases.

The income statement will also be affected because the total expenditure is normally higher in the first years of the lease and lower in recent years. In addition, operating expenses will be replaced by interest and depreciation expenses, so key metrics such as EBITDA will change.

The accounting by the lessors will not change significantly.

Impact on the financial statements

In the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognized liabilities related to leases that have been previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. These liabilities have been measured based on the present value of the remaining future payments, discounted using a rate of incremental interest as of January 1, 2019 (7.3% average interest rate).

As a result of the effect of the transition of IFRS 16, right-of-use assets and liabilities for S/97.7 million were recognized as of January 1, 2019 (representing 1.33% and 2.15% of total assets and liabilities, respectively). As part of the initial application of IFRS 16, the Company used the modified retrospective method, therefore, the financial statements for previous years were not modified.

At December 31, 2019, the effect of IFRS 16 in the Group’s financial statements is detailed as follows:

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”

 

F-32


Table of Contents

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty regarding income tax treatments (hereinafter “IFRIC 23”), describe the assessment you must comply with when there is a tax treatment for which you are uncertain about whether or not to be accepted by the tax administration, according to the interpretation of tax legislation. If the company identifies uncertain tax treatments, the effect of the uncertainty must be identified through a provision of the current income tax or the deferred income tax, whichever is applicable.

The Group adopted IFRIC 23 from January 1, 2019. This rule regulates how to determine the accounting record of a tax position when there is uncertainty about income tax treatments.

The interpretation requires the Group to determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or in groups; and assess whether a tax authority is likely to accept uncertain tax treatment to be used by an entity in its income tax returns.

If tax authority accepts, the Group must determine its tax position in a manner consistent with the tax treatment used or intended to be used in its tax returns. If not, the Group must reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its tax position using the most probable amount method or the expected value method.

Uncertain tax positions have been evaluated separately in each Group company and have been identified as the best method the most likely amount. Based on the foregoing, the Group has recognized an income tax accrual of S/0.5 million and a decrease in deferred income tax assets of S/1 million, affecting the retained earnings on S/1.5 million. Due to the aforementioned tax uncertainty, there is a possibility that, at the end of the processes of the years open to the audit, the final result may differ from what was originally assessed.

 

3.2

Standards and amendments issued to be adopted at a later date

 

  a)

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management is carried out by the Group’s Management. Management oversees the general management of financial risks, such as foreign exchange rate risk, price risk, cash flow, and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the investment of excess liquidity, which are supervised and monitored periodically.

 

F-33


Table of Contents
4.1

Financial Risk Factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures in one of its subsidiaries and considers the use of other derivatives in the event that it identifies risks that may generate an adverse effect for the Group in the short and medium-term.

 

  a)

Market risks

 

  i)

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk as a result of the transactions carried out locally in foreign currency and due to its operations abroad. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019 this exposure is mainly concentrated in fluctuations of U.S. dollar, the Chilean and Colombian Pesos.

At December 31, 2018 and 2019, the consolidated statement of financial position includes the following:

 

     2018      2019  
     S/(000)      USD(000)      S/(000)      USD(000)  

Assets

     2,273,132        674,753        2,859,324        862,021  

Liabilities

     2,042,176        604,383        1,751,479        528,031  

The Group’s exchange gains and losses for the Peruvian Sol, the Chilean and Colombian Pesos exposure against the U.S. dollar was:

 

     2017      2018      2019  

Gain

     329,751        382,104        390,008  

Loss

     (323,927      (405,380      (422,578

If at December 31, 2019 the Peruvian Sol, the Chilean and Colombian Pesos had strengthened/weakened by 2% against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, the pre-tax results for the year would have increased/decreased by S/0.7 million (S/0.5 million in 2018 and S/0.1 million in 2017).

The consolidated statement of changes in equity comprises a foreign currency translation adjustment originated by its subsidiaries. The consolidated statement of financial position includes assets and liabilities in functional currency equivalent to (in thousands):

 

     2018      2019  
     Assets      Liabilities      Assets      Liabilities  

Chilean Pesos

     48,129,848        49,728,313        19,915,617        39,193,917  

Colombian Pesos

     163,560,697        76,978,655        187,119,204        76,446,723  

The Group’s foreign exchange translation adjustment in 2019 was negative by S/8.2 million (positive by S/5.7 million in 2018 and negative by S/11.3 million in 2017).

 

F-34


Table of Contents
  ii)

Price risk

Management considers that the exposure of the Group to the price risk of its investments in mutual funds, bonds, and equity securities is low since the invested amounts are not significant. Any fluctuation in their fair value will not have any significant impact on the balances reported in the consolidated financial statements.

 

  iii)

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk mainly arises from its long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Group policy is to maintain most of its borrowings at fixed rate instruments; 61.8% of total debt in 2019 (46.9% in 2018) was contracted at fixed rates and 38.2% at variable rates (53.1% in 2018) which consisted of a 37.7% fixed rate plus VAC (adjusted for inflation) and the remaining 0.5% at a variable rate (27.7% fixed rate + VAC and the remaining 25.4% at a variable rate in 2018).

The debt subject to fixed rate plus VAC is related to a bond issued in Peruvian Sol to finance the GyM Ferrovias Project, Metro Line 1 (Note 19). Any increase in the interest rate resulting from higher inflation will have no significant impact on the Group’s profit because these revenues are also adjusted for inflation.

During 2018 and 2019 borrowings at variable rates are denominated in Peruvian Sol, and U.S. dollars and the Group’s policy is to manage their cash flow risk by using interest-rate swaps, which are recognized under hedge accounting. In 2018, the variable rate loans related to GSP (Note 18 a-ii), were not hedged, Management decided to assume the risk since it was expected to pre-pay them before due.

If on December 31, 2019, if the Libor rate plus three months had increased/decreased by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the pre-tax results for the year would have increased/decreased by S/0.01 million (S/0.75 million in 2018). In 2019 and 2018 there was no significant ineffectiveness in the cash flow hedge.

 

  b)

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as customer credit counterparties, including the outstanding balance of accounts receivable and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted.

Concerning to loans to related parties, the Group has measures in place to ensure the recovery of these loans through the controls maintained by the Corporate Finance Management and the performance evaluation conducted by the Board.

Management does not expect the Group to incur any losses from the performance by these counterparties, except for the ones already recorded at the financial statements.

 

  c)

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding through an adequate number of sources of committed credit facilities and the capacity to close out positions in the market. Historically, the Group cash flows enabled it to maintain sufficient cash to meet its obligations. However, since 2017, the Group experienced liquidity problems due to the early termination of the GSP concession agreement and the obligations assumed (Note 15 a-i). As a consequence, the Group started a disinvestment plan to be able to meet the obligations resulting from this scenario (Note 36). This plan was met and the GSP debt was terminated. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic as explained in note 37, the Group has considered measures to reduce risk exposure and has implemented a new plan in order to meet its requirements of cash for the different businesses.

 

F-35


Table of Contents

Group Corporate Finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it exists sufficient cash to meet operational needs so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants, where applicable, on any of its borrowing facilities. Less significant financing transactions are controlled by the Finance Management of each subsidiary.

Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal ratio targets in the statement of financial position and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements, for example, foreign currency restrictions.

Surplus cash held by the operating entities over the balance required for working capital management is invested in interest-bearing checking accounts or time deposits, selecting instruments with appropriate maturities and sufficient liquidity.

The table below analyzes the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Capital management risk

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital. In 2017 the situation of the Group had lead Management to monitor deviations that might cause the non-compliance of covenants and may hinder the renegotiation of liabilities (Note18-a). In extraordinary events as explained in note 37, the Group identifies the possible deviations and requirements and establishes a plan.

 

F-36


Table of Contents

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group monitors capital based on the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings), less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position plus net debt.

As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, the gearing ratio is presented below indicating the Group’s strategy to keep it in a range from 0.10 to 0.70.

Level 1: Measurement based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Measurement based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

 

   

Level 3: Measurement based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs, generally based on internal estimates and assumptions of the Group).

The table below shows the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on December 31, 2018, and 2019:

COVID-19 Pandemic

As a result of the outbreak of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), the Group’s results of operations, financial positions and cash flows have been adversely affected as of the date of this report with potential impacts on subsequent periods, including but not limited to the significant decline in revenue and significant operating cash flow. The impacts may also include additional allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment to the Group’s long-term assets. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19, the exact financial impact is unpredictable and will depend on future developments, including new information which may emerge concerning the duration of the lockdown which has been extended until June 30th for Perú, until September 18th for Chile and until August 31st for Colombia, the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, among others, all of which are beyond the Group’s control. The Group will continue to closely monitor the impacts of COVID-19 through the course of the year 2020.

From mid-March until the end of May 2020, substantially all of our engineering and construction and real estate projects in Perú were mandatorily shut down, however, as part of the Government plan to activate some industries by stages, most of our projects of our engineering and construction and real estate segments are gradually resuming. In Colombia the projects under execution were declare as essential projects therefore they continued operating since the beginning of the lockdown. Finally our projects in Chile were shut down but only for few days, after which they resume operations. Our infrastructure operations, were declared essential businesses, therefore have continue operating.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments used are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on information available through the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

5.1

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates are based on information available through the date of issuance of the financial statements, therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

 

  a)

Estimated impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life

Impairment reviews are undertaken annually to determine if goodwill arising from business acquisitions and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life are impaired, in accordance with the policy described in Note 2.15-i). For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to the different Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which it relates while other intangible assets with indefinite useful life are assessed individually. The recoverable amounts of the CGU and of other intangible assets with indefinite useful life have been determined based on the higher of their value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell. This evaluation requires the exercise of Management’s professional judgment to analyze any potential indicators of impairment as well as the use of estimates in determining the value in use, including preparing future cash flows, macro-economic forecasts as well as defining the interest rate at which said cash flows will be discounted.

 

F-38


Table of Contents

If the Group experiences a significant drop in revenues or a drastic increase in costs or changes in other factors, the fair value of their business units might decrease. If management determines that the factors reducing the fair value of the business are permanent, those economic factors will be taken into consideration to determine the recoverable amount of those business units and therefore, goodwill, as well as other intangible assets with indefinite useful life may be deemed to be impaired, which may cause their write-down.

In accordance with the impairment evaluations carried out by Management, losses due to impairment of goodwill and trademarks have been recognized by the decrease in the expected flows because of a reduction of the contracts’ “backlog”.

At December 31, 2018, and 2019 the Group has performed a sensitivity analysis increasing or decreasing the assumptions of gross margin, discount rate, and revenue and terminal growth rate by a 10%, with all the other variables held constant, as follows:

 

     Difference between recoverable amount and carrying amounts

Vial y Vives - DSD

     38.99     44.26     88.07     95.20

In 2019, if the gross margin, discount rate or terminal growth rate had been 10% below or 10% above Management’s estimates, the Group would not have recognized a provision for impairment of goodwill in the Electromechanical CGU (GMA); however, at the same variation, the Group would have to recognized a provision for impairment of the Engineering and Construction (Morelco). In 2018, if the discount rate or terminal growth rate had been 10% below or 10% above Management’s estimates, the Group would not have recognized a provision for impairment of goodwill; however, at the same variation in gross margin, the Group would have to recognized a provision for impairment of the Electromechanical GMA.

As a result of these assessments, as of December 31, 2019, an impairment of the goodwill in Morelco was identified and recorded in the Engineering and Construction CGU. In 2018, it was not necessary to record an impairment provision. (Note 17).

In 2018 and 2019, if the revenue growth rate, terminal growth rate or the discount rate had been 10% below or had been 10% above Management’s estimates, the Group would have not recognized a provision for impairment in trademarks.

At December 31, 2019, as a result of these evaluations, a reversal of goodwill impairment was identified and recorded in the Engineering and Construction CGU, trademark impairment in Vial y Vives-DSD. In 2018, it was not necessary to record an impairment provision (Note 17).

b) Income taxes

Determination of the tax obligations and expenses requires interpretations of the applicable tax laws and regulations. The Group seeks legal and tax counsel before making any decision on tax matters.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts stated in the financial statement of each entity that makes up the Group, using the tax rates in effect in each of the years in which the difference is expected to reverse. Any change in tax rates will affect the deferred income tax assets and liabilities. This change will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which the change takes effect.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. For this purpose, the Group takes into consideration all available evidence, including factors such as historical data, projected income, current operations, and tax planning strategies. A tax benefit related to a tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the benefit will ultimately be realized.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group’s possible maximum exposure to tax contingencies amount to S/71.4 million (S/15.7 million in 2018).

The income tax for the year includes Management’s evaluation of the amount of taxes to be paid in uncertain tax positions, where the liabilities have not yet been agreed with the tax administration.

 

  c)

Percentage of completion revenue recognition

Revenues from engineering and construction contracts are recognized by the percentage of completion method, which requires estimating the margin that will be obtained prior to the culmination of works. Projections of these margins are determined by management based on their estimated budgets execution and adjusted periodically to reflect actual performance as work is completed. In this regard, management believes that the estimates made at the end of the year are reasonable. When changes occur that were not approved in a project’s original scope of work, income is recognized as equivalent to the cost incurred (i.e. no profit is recognized) until such changes have been approved.

Contract revenue and cost related to contracts are recognized in the company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the accounting periods in which the work was executed. Costs related to the construction contract costs are recognized as works in the consolidated comprehensive income in the accounting periods in which the work was executed. However, any expected and likely cost overruns related to the contract over total expected income under the contract is recognized as an expense immediately. In addition, any change in the estimates under the contract is recognized as a change in accounting estimates in the period in which the change is made and future periods if applicable. In certain construction contracts, the terms of these agreements allow to retain an amount to customers until it culminates with construction. Under these contracts, the total amount cannot be recognized until the construction is finished.

As of December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, a sensitivity analysis was performed considering a 10% increase/decrease in the Group’s gross margins, as follows:

  d)

Provision for well closure costs

At December 31, 2019, the present value of the estimated provision for the closure of 189 wells located in Talara amounted to S/50.1 million (S/20.3 million as of December 31, 2018, for the closure of 158 wells). The well closure liability is adjusted to reflect the changes that resulted from the passage of time and from reviews of either the date of occurrence or the amount of the present value of the originally estimated obligations (Note 17-d).

The Group estimates the present value of its future obligation for well closure costs, or well closure liability, and increases the carrying amount of the asset that will be withdrawn in the future and that is shown under the heading of intangibles in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The pre-tax discount rate used for the present value calculation was 1.58% for Block I and 1.66% for Block V (2.46% for block I and 2.51% for block V for the year 2018), and 2.33% for Blocks III and IV, (2.98% for the year 2018) based on 3, 5 and 30-year rate used on U.S. bonds effective at December 31, 2018 and 2019.

If on December 31, 2018, and 2019, the estimated rate had increased or decreased by 10%, with all variables held constant, the impact on pre-tax profit would not have been significant.

 

  e)

Impairment of investment in associate and account receivable to Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. (GSP)

Based on the termination of the concession agreement, on which Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. (GSP) acts as concessionaire (Note 15 a-i), as well as the agreements taken at the end of the year, the Group identified potential impairment indicators affecting the recoverability of its investment. Consequently, the Group impaired the full investment amount.

In that process, the Group has applied judgment to weight the various uncertainties surrounding the amount that can be recovered from this investment. Management has determined the recoverable amount assuming the following key factors: (i) the amount that GSP will recover as a result of a possible public auction, (ii) the liquidation of the company via the GSP Creditor´s meeting, and (iii) the validity of its right to subordinate the Odebrecht Group’s debts in GSP.

The calculation of the impairment estimate assumes a process of liquidation of GSP in accordance with Peruvian legislation, whereby the value of the asset to be recovered is first applied to the payments of liabilities in the different categories of creditors and the remainder, if it is the case, to the payment of the shareholders, taking into account the existing subordination agreements.

 

F-41


Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2018 in relation to the amount to be recovered by GSP, the Group is assuming a recovery of the minimum amount established in the concession agreement, which is equivalent to 72.25% of the Net Carrying Amount (NCA) of the Concession assets. This amount, in substance, represents a minimum payment to be obtained by GSP based on a public auction (liquidation) to be set up for the adequate transfer of the Concession’s assets to a new Concessionaire, under the relevant contractual terms and conditions. Additionally, given the situation of non-compliance by the Peruvian State and the situation in which the process of forming the creditors’ meeting was, and according to the opinion of lawyers for similar cases, the term for five years was estimated the recovery of the account receivable.

As of December 31, 2019, as a result of events that occurred during 2019, certain assumptions were changed with respect to the company’s estimated recovery of the net carrying amount (valor contable neto) of GSP. In December 2019, as mentioned in note 1, the Group signed a preliminary settlement and cooperation agreement with Peruvian authorities, and in addition, the creditors’ meeting of GSP remains delayed. Consequently, any legal actions that GSP could initiate in order to collect have also been postponed, and therefore the time expected for the collection of the receivables has increased. As a result, we have estimated a period of 8 years to collect the receivables, and that GSP was likely to recover 50% of the net carrying amount.

 

5.2

Critical judgments in applying the accounting policies

Consolidation of entities in which the Group holds less than 50%

The Group owns some direct and indirect subsidiaries of which the Group has control even though it has less than 50% of the voting rights. These subsidiaries mainly comprise indirect subsidiaries in the real estate business owned through Viva GyM S.A., having the power to affect the relevant activities that impact the subsidiaries’ returns, even though the Group holds interest between 30% and 50%. Additionally, the Group has control de facto by a contractual agreement with the majority investor over Promotora Larcomar S.A. of which it owns 46.55% of the equity interest.

Consolidation of entities in which the Group does not have joint control but holds rights and obligations over the assets and liabilities

The Group assesses, on an ongoing basis, the nature of the contracts signed with one or more parties. If no control or joint control is determined to be held by the Group, but it has rights over assets and obligations for liabilities under the arrangement, then the Group recognizes its assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and its share of any jointly controlled assets or liabilities and any revenue or expense arising under the arrangement as a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements (Note 2.2-d).

 

6.

INTERESTS IN OTHER ENTITIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Group and its subsidiaries. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements of the Group include its interest in joint operations in which the Company or certain subsidiaries have joint control with their partners (Note 2.2-d).

In December 2019, the subsidiary Viva GyM S.A. through the General Shareholders’ Meeting, agreed to capitalize its supplementary premium for the amount of S/65.3 million to subsequently reduce the share capital in a non-proportional manner by returning contributions amounting to S/82.3 million. The return did not generate cash outflow as the reciprocal obligations between its shareholders with the subsidiary were offset. Consequently, the Company modified its participation in its subsidiary from 63.4% to 56.2%, in turn its subsidiary GyM S.A. (also a shareholder of Viva GyM S.A.) modified its stake from 36.1% to 43.3%.

In addition, in December 2019 the subsidiary GyM S.A. through the General Shareholders’ Meeting agreed to the capital increase for monetary contributions in the amount of S/146.1 million. Minority shareholders voluntarily waived the pre-emptive subscription right, causing the Company’s participation percentage to increase from 98.2% to 98.9%.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are reported consistently with the internal reports that are reviewed by the Group’s chief decision-maker; that is, the Executive Committee, which is led by the Corporate General Manager. This Committee acts as the maximum authority in operations decision making and is responsible for allocating resources and evaluating the performance of each operating segment.

The Group’s operating segments are assessed by the activities of the following business units: (i) engineering and construction, (ii) infrastructure, (iii) real estate and (iv) parent company operations.

As set forth under IFRS 8, reportable segments based on the level of revenue is: ‘engineering and construction’. However, the Group has voluntarily decided to report on all its operating segments as detailed in this Note.

The revenues derived from foreign operations (Chile y Colombia) comprise 14% of the Group’s total revenue reported in 2019 (20.3% in 2018 and 10.6% in 2017).

Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length, are not material, and are eliminated on consolidation. The revenue from external parties is measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement. The sale of goods relates to the real estate segment. Revenue from services relate to all other segments.

Group sales and receivables are not concentrated in a few private customers. There is no external customer that represents 10% or more of the Group’s revenue.

The principal activities of the Group in each operating segments are as follows:

 

  a)

Engineering and construction: This segment includes from traditional engineering services such as structural, civil and design engineering, and architectural planning to advanced specialties including process design, simulation, and environmental services at three divisions; i) civil works, such as the construction of hydroelectric power stations and other large infrastructure facilities; (ii) electro-mechanic construction, such as concentrator plants, oil, and natural gas pipelines, and transmission lines; iii) building construction, such as office buildings, residential buildings, hotels, affordable housing projects, shopping centers, and industrial facilities.

 

  b)

Infrastructure: The Group has long-term concessions or similar contractual arrangements in Peru for three toll roads, the Lima Metro, a wastewater treatment plant in Lima, four producing oil fields, a gas processing plant and operation and maintenance services for infrastructure assets.

 

  c)

Real Estate: The Group develops and sells homes targeted to low and middle-income population sectors which are experiencing a significant increase in disposable income, as well as, office and commercial space to a lesser extent.

 

  d)

Parent Company Operation corresponds to services provided to related entities of the Group such as strategic and functional advisory services and operational leasing of offices.

The Executive Committee uses adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to assess the performance of operating segments. In 2019, additional provisions were considered for some of the Group´s assets, such as impairment of investments, impairment of account receivables, impairment of goodwill, provision for civil repair and legal claims.

The most significant associates are described as follows:

 

  i)

Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A.

In November 2015, the group acquired a 20% interest in Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. (hereinafter “GSP”) and obtained a 29% interest in Consorcio Constructor Ductos del Sur (hereinafter “CCDS”) through its subsidiary GyM S.A. GSP signed on July 22, 2014, a concession contract with the Peruvian Government to build, operate and maintain the pipelines transportation system of natural gas to meet the demand of cities in the south of Peru (hereinafter, the “Concession Contract”). Additionally, GSP signed an engineering, procurement, and construction contract with CCDS. The Group made an investment of US$242.5 million (S/819 million) and was required to assume 20% of the performance guarantee established in the concession contract for US$262.5 million (equivalent to S/887 million) and 21.49% of the guarantee for a bridge loan obtained by GSP of US$600 million (equivalent to S/2,027 million).

Early termination of the Concession Agreement

On January 24, 2017 the Ministry of Energy and Mines (hereinafter “MEM”) notified the early termination of the Concession Contract under its clause 6.7 based on GSP’s failure to provide evidence of the project’s financial closing within the contractual deadline and proceeded to the immediate enforcement of the performance guarantee. This situation generated the enforcement of the guarantees provided by the Company for US$52.5 million (S/176.4 million nominal value) and US$129 million (S/433.3 million nominal value) to secure GSP’s obligation with its lenders under a bridge loan granted to it. Under the Concession Agreement, the guarantees were paid by the Company on behalf of GSP, therefore the Company recognized a right to collect from GSP an amount equal to US$181.5 million (S/613.3 million nominal value) that was recorded in 2016 as accounts receivable from related parties.

Table of Contents

On October 11, 2017, GSP and MEM entered into an agreement to deliver the concession assets pursuant to the Concession Agreement. These assets included all the works, equipment, facilities and engineering studies needed for the development of the project.

After the termination of the Concession Contract, the Peruvian Government should have appointed a recognized international audit firm to calculate the net book value of the concession assets (hereinafter “VCN”) and conducted up to three public auctions of the GSP concession pursuant to clause 20 of the Concession Agreement. However, as of the date hereof, the Peruvian Government continues to be in breach of such contractual obligation. An independent audit firm engaged by GSP calculated the VCN to equal US$2,602 million as of December 31, 2016.

On December 4, 2017, GSP entered into a bankruptcy proceeding before the National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Intellectual Protection of Peru. The Group registered a claim for accounts receivable for US$0.4 million (S/1.4 million) and additional accounts receivable of US$169.3 million (S/572.1 million) that is held in trust in benefit of the Company’s creditors. The process is in the debt recognition stage to determine the parties who will be entitled to participate in the Creditors’ Assembly to be convoked under the mentioned bankruptcy proceeding.

The fair value of the investment in GSP, as Group associate, is based on the amount of the VCN, taking into consideration the payments anticipated in the insolvency proceedings, the subordination contracts and the loan assignment agreements entered into by the Company and its partners in the project. Based on management’s estimate of such payments, an impairment of the investment value for US$220 million (S/739 million), corresponding to the year end 2019 US$65 million (S/218 million). In addition, Management has applied, in the consolidated financial statements of the company, an impairment of US$81.5 million (S/276 million) to the long-term account receivable from GSP, and also discount under the amortized cost for US$17 million (S/58 million). In addition, write-off of US$54 million (S/180 million) was made over the deferred tax asset. These effects amounted to US$163.5 million (S/552 million) before taxes recorded in the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 and US$54 million (S/180 million) related to income tax expense.

In the opinion of our internal and external legal advisors, any proceeds received by GSP from the Peruvian Government derived from the former’s obligation to reimburse the VCN of the concession assets would not be subject to retention under Law 30737 since this payment does not include a net profit margin, nor does it correspond to the sale of assets.

On December 21, 2018, the Company. submitted to the Peruvian Government a request for direct negotiations demanding the payment of the VCN in favor of GSP therefore, commencing the cool off period under the Concession Contract. This request is based on the right that creditors have under article 1219 of the Peruvian Civil Code to initiate actions against its debtor’s debtors that the former to collect a credit that would allow the payment of the outstanding debt.

Upon the conclusion of the contractual cool off period, the Company filed on October 18, 2019 a request for arbitration before CIADI. The Company withdrew its request for arbitration on December 27 of the same year the preliminary plea bargain agreement entered on the same date by the Company with the Prosecutor and the Ad hoc State Counsel (Note 1).

Such withdrawal does not imply the loss of the Company’s right of collection against GSP nor does it restrict, limit or obstruct the possibility that GSP has of exercising its rights against the Government in the future.

Concesionaria Chavimochic S.A.C.

Concesionaria Chavimochic S.A.C. was awarded the concession to develop and operate the Chavimochic irrigation project for 25 years to: a) design and construction the third-phase of the Chavimochic irrigation project in the province of La Libertad; b) operation and maintenance of works; and c) water supply to the project users. Construction activities started in 2015 and the total investment amounts US$647 million.

The civil works of the third stage of the Chavimochic Irrigation Project were structured in two phases. To date, the works of the first phase (Palo Redondo Dam) are 70% completed. However, at the beginning of 2017, the procedure for early termination of the Concession Contract was initiated due to the breach of contract by the government, and all activities were suspended in December 2017. Not having reached an agreement, the arbitration process was initiated subject to UNCITRAL rules, and the Arbitral Tribunal was installed. The Company and its legal advisors believe that the ruling will be favorable and the corresponding investment will be recovered.

(i) During 2019, a property owned by Morelco S.A.S. (subsidiary of GyM S.A) was transferred to investment properties to the leased to a third party.

In 2017, 2018 and 2019, additions to cost correspond to acquisitions of fixed assets made under financial leases or direct purchases.

The balance of work in progress as of December 31, 2019, is related to investments made by the subsidiary GMP S.A. for S/15.2 million (S/17.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and S/11.0 million as of December 31, 2017) for drilling activities to increase the exploitation of oil and gas. In 2018, the balance included the construction works of the Larcomar Hotel Project for S/15.8 million (S/15.6 million in 2017).

In 2019 the sale of fixed assets amounted to S/12.7 million (S/31.9 million in 2018 and S/127.2 million in 2017), generating a gain of S/6.1 million (loss of S/7.1 million in 2018 and gain of S/26.9 million in 2017), which is shown in the statement of income under the caption “other income and expenses, net” (Note 28). The difference of income from the sale of fixed assets and the gain generated are presented under the caption “income from construction activities” and in “gross profit”, respectively.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment property is distributed in the income statement as follows:

Goodwill

Management reviews the results of its businesses on the basis of the type of economic activity carried on. At December 31, the goodwill of the cash-generating units (CGUs) is distributed as follows:

 

     2017      2018      2019  

Engineering and construction

     75,051        71,621        36,632

     20,737        20,737        20,735

     116,804        93,288        57,367  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

As a result of management’s annual impairment tests on goodwill, the recoverable amount of cash-generating units was determined on the basis of the greater their value in use and fair value less disposal costs. The value in use was determined on the basis of expected future cash flows generated by the evaluation of CGUs.

As a result of these evaluations in 2019, an impairment was identified in Morelco S.A.S. for S/33 million and Adexus S.A. for S/0.9 million. Through the subsidiary GyM S.A., the loss due to deterioration in Morelco was generated by the decrease in expected flows as a result of the reduction in the contracting of new projects during the year. Additionally, the Company impaired the value of goodwill in Adexus, because the subsidiary submitted a request for bankruptcy reorganization before the courts of justice of Chile, under the law 20720 of that country (Note 36 B).

In 2018, no provision for impairment was recorded. Additionally, it was not necessary to evaluate the impairment of goodwill in Stracon GyM S.A. because in March 2018 the Company sold its interest (87.59%) for a total of US$76.8 million (equivalent to S/248.8 million), generating a profit of S/41.9 million. In 2017, an impairment was identified in two CGU’s, Vial y Vives-DSD, and Morelco SAS and was accounted for as of December 31st, 2017. The impairment loss was generated due to the decrease in the expected cash flows, as a result of the reduction of the contracts linked to the backlog. The impairment impacted the goodwill for S/20.1 million in 2017.

These assumptions have been used for the analysis of each CGUs for a period of 5 years.

Management determines budgeted gross margins based on past results and market development expectations. Average growth rates are consistent with those prevailing in the industry. The discount rates used are pre-tax or post-tax, as applicable, and reflect the specific risks associated with the CGUs evaluated.

Trademarks

This item mainly includes the brands acquired in the business combination processes with Vial y Vives S.A.C. (S/75.4 million) in August 2013, Morelco S.A.S. (S/33.33 million) in December 2014 and Adexus S.A. (S/9.1 million) in August 2016. Management determined that the trademark from Vial y Vives, Morelco and Adexus have indefinite useful lives; consequently, annual impairment tests are performed on these intangible assets as explained in paragraph a) above.

As a result of these evaluations, as of December 31, 2019, the Vial y Vives - DSD the trademark impairment was reversed for S/20.7 million (equivalent to CLP4,782 million). Management considered that the market value of the trademark has increased due to the increase of projects in execution and projects and award process. In 2018, no provision for impairment was recorded. As of December 31, 2017, the Vial y Vives - DSD trademark partially deteriorated, the amount of the impairment was S/29.5 million.

Additionally, in 2019, the Company impaired the value of the Adexus trademark, because the subsidiary submitted a request for bankruptcy reorganization before the courts of justice of Chile, under the law 20,720 of that country (Note 36 B).

Cost of well’s development

Through one of its subsidiaries, GMP S.A., the Group operates and extracts oil from two fields (Lot I and Lot V) located in the province of Talara, in northern Peru. Both fields are operated under long-term service contracts in which the Group provides hydrocarbon extraction services to Perupetro. The expiration date of these contracts are December 2021 and October 2023 for Lot 1 and Lot V, respectively.

On December 10, 2014, the Peruvian State granted the subsidiary GMP S.A. the right to exploit for 30 years the oil lots III and IV (owned by the Peruvian State - Perupetro) located in the Talara basin, Piura. The investment committed is estimated at US$400 million and corresponds to the drilling of 230 wells in Lot III and 330 wells in Lot IV. The drilling began in April 2015 in both lots.

 

F-86


Table of Contents

As part of the Group’s obligations under the infrastructure, it is necessary to incur certain costs to prepare the wells located in Lots I, III, IV and V. These costs are capitalized as part of the intangible assets with a value of S/108 million during 2019 (S/68 million in 2018 and S/99 million in 2017), which includes the capitalization of the provision for dismantling wells and facilities in Lots I, III, IV and V, for S/36 million (S/3 million during 2018).

The lots are amortized on the basis of the useful lives of the wells (determined as five years for lots I and V and units produced for lots III and IV), which is less than the total service contract period with Perupetro.

According to Peruvian legislation, there are two ways to compensate for tax losses:

 

  1.

System A, it allows offseting offset the tax loss in future years up to the following four (4) years from the date the loss is incurred.

 

  2.

System B. The tax loss may be offset in future years up to 50% of the net rent of each year. This option does not consider a statute of limitations.

The taxable goodwill relates to the tax credit generated in the reorganization of the Chilean subsidiaries in 2014, in accordance with such legislation. In 2016, the arbitration related to the Collahuasi project was closed, and an additional payment to the sellers of the Chilean subsidiary was determined, which originated the increase of this temporary item.

Deferred income corresponds to income that, according to Colombian tax regulations, is not recognized as such for tax purposes until certain requirements are met.

The theoretical tax disclosed is the result of applying the income tax rate in accordance with the tax legislation of the country where each company that is part of the Group is domiciled. In this sense, companies domiciled in Peru, Chile, and Colombia applied in 2019 income tax rates of 29.5%, 27% and 33% respectively (29.5%, 27% and 37% for 2018). Norvial S.A., GyM Ferrovias S.A., Concesionaria Via Expresa Sur S.A. and GMP S.A. (Blocks III and IV) have legal stability contracts signed with the Peruvian Government in force during the term of the associated concessions. Therefore, the consolidated theoretical amount is obtained from the weighting of the profit or loss before income tax and the applicable income tax rate.

In 2018, Colombia applied a 33% Income Tax rate and a 4% temporary surcharge on a taxable income greater than S/895 thousand (equivalent to COP800 million). The two subsidiaries domiciled in Colombia determined taxable income that generated the application of income tax rates of 37% and 33%.

 

  f)

Peruvian tax authorities have the right to examine, and, if necessary, amend the income tax determined by the Company in the last four years - from January 1 of the year after the date when the tax returns are filed (open fiscal year). Therefore, the years 2015 through 2019 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. Management considers that no significant liabilities will arise as a result of these possible tax examinations. Additionally, income tax returns for fiscal years 2017 to 2019 remain open for examination by the Chilean tax authorities who have the right to carry out said examination within the three years following the date the income tax returns had been filed. Fiscal years 2016 to 2019 are open for tax audit by Colombian tax authorities. Colombian tax authorities are entitled to audit two consecutive years following the date the income tax returns were filed.

 

  g)

In accordance with current legislation, for determination of income tax and general sales tax, the transfer prices transactions with related companies and companies resident in territories with low or no taxation must be considered. For this purpose, documentation and information must be available to support the valuation methods used and the criteria considered for their determination (transfer pricing rules). The Tax Administration is authorized to request this information from the taxpayer. Based on the analysis of the Company’s operations, Management and its legal advisors estimate that the transfer prices of transactions with related companies are based on market conditions, similar to those agreed with third parties, at 31 December 2019.

Temporary tax on net assets (ITAN)

The temporary tax on net assets is applied by the companies which operate in Peru, to third category income generators subject to the Peruvian Income Tax General Regime. Effective the year 2012, the tax rate is 0.4%, applicable to the amount of the net assets exceeding S/1 million.

The amount effectively paid may be used as a credit against payments on account of income tax or against the provisional tax payment of the income tax of the related period.

CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS, AND WARRANTIES

In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, the provisions registered mainly for labor and tax claims are sufficient to cover the results of these probable contingencies. (Note 22).

 

  a)

Tax contingencies

The Company considers that the maximum exposure for tax contingencies of the Group amounts to S/71.4 million according to the following detail:

Contentious Administrative Process before the Judiciary regarding the assessment of IGV or VAT tax from 1998 to 2002 for S/0.6 million and for Income Tax and IGV or VAT tax from 2001 for S/3.3 million.

The appeal before SUNAT of income tax assessments from 2012 to 2016 amounting to S/48.5 million (S/37.5 million correspond to GyM SA, S/3.7 million to Viva GyM SA, S/6.1 million to GMI SA and S/1.2 million by Consorcio Río Mantaro).

The appeal before the Tax Court regarding VAT tax assessments for 2014 amounting to S/2.7 million (corresponding to the Consortium Constructor Ductos del Sur); income tax assessments from 2009 to 2013 equal to S/16.1 million (S/14.7 million for the Company, S/1.4 million for Viva GyM SA) and Non-domiciliated Income Tax for 2011 amounting to S/0.1 million corresponding to Viva GyM S.A.

Management believes that all the processes mentioned above will be favorable considering their characteristics and the evaluation of their legal advisors.

 

  b)

Other contingencies

Civil lawsuits, demanding compensation of damages, contract terminations and the enforcement of payment obligations S/17.1 million (S/0.3 million for GyM SA, S/15.4 million correspond to Consorcio Constructor Ductos del Sur., S/0.6 million to Consorcio Peruano de Conservacion, S/0.1 to Las Lomas SAC, S/0.5 million to Consorcio Rio Urubamba and S/0.1 million to Consorcio Vial Ayacucho)

Administrative contentious proceedings amounting to S/0.6 million in fines imposed by OSINERGMIN to GMP S.A.

Administrative processes amounting to S/2.5 million (S/1.08 million correspond to Viva GyM SA, S/0.2 million to Consorcio Toromocho, S/0.2 million to GMP SA, S/0.34 million to GMVBS SA, S/0.25 million to GyM SA, S/0.34 million to Inmobiliaria Almonte SAC and S/0.05 million to Terminales del Perú)

Letters bonds and guarantees

The Group maintains letters of guarantee and guarantees in force in various financial institutions guaranteeing operations for US $ 376.1 million and US $ 13.9 million, respectively (US$471.6 million and US$13.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018).

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

  a)

Morelco S.A.S. acquisition

On December 23, 2014, the Company acquired control through its subsidiary GyM S.A., with the purchase of 70% of its shares representing the capital stock. Morelco S.A.S. is an entity domiciled in Colombia, whose principal economic activity is the provision of construction and assembly services. This acquisition forms part of the Group’s expansion plans in markets with high growth potential such as Colombia and in attractive industries such as mining and energy.

At December 31, 2014, the Company determined goodwill on this acquisition based on an estimated purchase price of US$93.7 million (equivalent to S/277.1 million) which included cash payments made of US$78.5 million (S/237.5 million, approximately) and estimated payables of US$15.1 million (equivalent to S/45.7 million), which according to what was agreed between the parties, would be defined after the review of the balance sheet of the acquired entity mainly referring to working capital, cash and financial debt and the determination of the definitive value of the contracted works pending to execute (backlog) of the acquired business. The estimated purchase price was distributed among the provisional fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

As a result of this distribution, a goodwill of US$36.1 million (equivalent to S/105.8 million) was determined.

Non-controlling interest put and call options

In accordance with the shareholders’ agreement entered into for the purchase of Morelco, the Company signed put and call option contract on 30% of the shares of Morelco held by the non-controlling shareholders. Through this contract, the non-controlling shareholders obtain a right to sell their shares within the term and amount established in the contract (put options). The period for exercising the option begins on completion of the second year of the purchase and expires in the tenth year. The exercise price is based on a multiple of EBITDA less net financial debt and until the months 51 and 63 from the date of the agreement, a minimum value is set based on the price per share that the Company paid to acquire 70% of Morelco shares.

The Company obtains the right to purchase the same shares for a period of 10 years and at a determined price similar to that of the aforementioned put options, except that the minimum value applies to the entire term of the option (call options).

Into IFRS framework, the put option represents an obligation for the Company to purchase shares of the non-controlling interest and, consequently, the Group recognizes a liability measured by the fair value of that option, as of December 31, 2019, the value of the liability amounts to S/106.4 million (as of December 31, 2018, it was S/103.7 million). Because the Group concluded that as a result of this contract, did not acquire the significant risks and rewards inherent to the stock option package, the initial recognition of this liability was charged to an equity account of the controlling stockholders, under the heading of other reserves (Note 21).

On April 30, 2019, an addenda No. 01 was signed to the shareholders Agreement, which modifies:

Section 7.3 sale option in favor of the Initial shareholder, for the following:

As of December 31, 2020 and for a term of six (6) months, the initial shareholder may exercise a selling option, only once, for a number of shares held by the Initial shareholder equivalent to sixty-six point sixty-seven percent (66.67%) of the shares held by the Initial shareholder at the time of exercising the Low

 

F-111


Table of Contents

sale option this sub-clause (sale option 1). As of December 31, 2022 and for a term of six (6) months, the Initial shareholder may at any time exercise a sale option, for one time only, for the totality and not less than the totality of the shares held by the Initial shareholder at the time of exercising the sale option under this subclause, notwithstanding the foregoing, if GyM S.A. does not fulfill its obligations subject to the option of sale 1 within the period indicated in paragraph b of this Section 7.3, the term established for the exercise of option 2 is accelerated and may be exercised by the Initial shareholder at any time after the day following expiration of said period by sending a Notification of the option of sale to GyM S.A., so that in such event GyM S.A. will only fulfill its obligations by purchasing one hundred (100%) of the shares held by the previous shareholder.

Section 7.3 (c) is replaced in its entirety by the following:

(c) The price per share in each sale option shall be equal to the base price per share plus an interest charge. The base price per share shall be the result of dividing 5,375 times the EBITDA of the twelve (12) months prior to the date of receipt of the Notification of the option of sale by GyM S.A. minus DFN, between (and) all of the shares at the date of receipt of the Notice of option of sale by GyM S.A.; however, the corresponding base price per share shall not be less than the price per share corresponding to the purchase price [as that term is defined in the share sale Contract). The base price per Minimum action established in this Section 7.3 (c) shall not apply: (a) in a sale option that is triggered by the GyM S.A. share provision to a third party, when the GyM S.A. Stock provision does not result in a sale of the Company, and (b) in an Opt sales ion activated before an Exempt Operation. On the base price per share, remuneration interest will be caused at an annual interest rate composed of two point seventy percent (2.70%) as of (i) February 14, 2018 for option 1; (ii) December 31, 2019 for sale option 2 and (iii) in both cases, up to the effective payment date of the purchase contract price concluded as a result of the exercise of each sale option.

 

33

DIVIDENDS

In compliance with certain covenants, the company will not pay dividends for the years 2018 and 2019, except for transactions with non-controlling interests described in Note 35-d).

 

34

LOSS PER SHARE

The basic loss per common share has been calculated by dividing the loss of the year attributable to the Group’s common shareholders by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding during that year. No diluted loss per common share has been calculated because there is no potential diluent common or investment shares (ie, financial instruments or agreements that entitle to obtain common or investment shares); therefore, it is the same as the loss per basic share. The basic loss per common share is as follows:

Non-current asset classified as held for sale

At December 31, 2018 and 2019, non-current assets and liabilities held for sale correspond to investments in the company Adexus S.A. (hereinafter Adexus), whose main activity is to provide information technology solutions mainly in Chile and Peru.

On November 19, 2019, Adexus S.A. filed an application for reorganization under Law 20.720 with the Chilean courts of justice. The Company impaired the total investment value as of December 31, 2019.

The reorganization allows companies with temporary liquidity problems to obtain financial protection for a period of 30 days, extendable for a period of 60 days, with the support of their creditors, to prepare, propose and negotiate a plan to restructure their assets and liabilities.

Although the Company investment in Adexus has been declared as an available-for-sale investment and on an exceptional basis, the Group decided that Adexus will be subject to the patrimonial protection law; after achieving this restructuring, the Group will focus on honoring it in the terms agreed while finding the right shareholder for the future development of the Company.

On February 3, 2020, the General Shareholders Meeting of the Company approved the decision to enter into the Preliminary Agreement and the withdrawal and dismissal of the Request for Arbitration filed by the Company pursuant to the Preliminary Agreement. In addition, the ratification of the Act of Mutual Understanding for the Completion of Plea Agreement Procedure with the Peruvian Third Bureau of the Supraprovincial Corporate Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Crimes of Corruption of Officials – Special Team and the Ad Hoc Peruvian National State Counsel.

The recent outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “public health emergency of international concern,” has spread across the world since the end of 2019. Countries around the world—including Peru as well as Chile and Colombia—have adopted extraordinary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, including imposing travel restrictions, requiring closures of non-essential businesses, establishing restrictions on public gatherings, instructing residents to practice social distancing, issuing stay-at-home orders, implementing quarantines and similar actions. In response to the sudden decline in economic activity, the governments of Perú, Chile and Colombia have announced large stimulus programs to assist families and businesses.

As a result, the Group’s results of operations, financial positions and cash flows have been adversely affected as of the date of this report with potential impacts on subsequent periods, including but not limited to the significant decline in revenue and significant operating cash flow. The impacts may also include additional allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment to the Group’s long-term assets. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19, the exact financial impact is unpredictable and will depend on future developments, including new information which may emerge concerning the duration of the state of emergency which has been extended until June 30th for Perú, September 18th for Chile and until August 31st for Colombia, the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, among others, all of which are beyond the Group’s control. The Group will continue to closely monitor the impacts of COVID-19 through the course of the year 2020.

Since mid-March 2020, substantially all of our engineering and construction and real estate projects were mandatorily shut down, however, as part of the Government plan to activate some industries according to progressive stages, most of our projects are in the process of re-activating operations gradually. Our infrastructure operations, were declared essential businesses, therefore have continue operating; however, certain of our infrastructure businesses have been adversely affected, in particular, by the sharp decline in traffic volumes and oil and gas prices (also due to the dispute in March among OPEC member countries).

In response to this situation, the Group has implemented a plan that includes several measures to reduce expenses and preserve cash in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the following: (i) developing a 12-week cash plan, project-by-project, to ensure that the Company will continue to meet its critical obligations during that period, which plan is monitored and updated weekly; (ii) preparing a cash plan for the remainder of the 2020 fiscal year, to identify in advance key liquidity issues that may arise; (iii) identifying and renegotiating certain of the company’s obligations with respect to its suppliers, banks and other third parties; (iv) identifying and reducing non-essential general expenses across the group; (v) reducing headcount, and temporarily reducing salaries of senior management, across the company’s three segments; and (vi) reducing capital expenditures across the company’s subsidiaries. In addition, the Group is evaluating the selling of minor assets to finance any cash flow deficit during the year. This plan was approved by the board of directors on April and May 2020. Therefore, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the group and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the existing conditions as of December 31, 2019, and considering those events that occurred after that date, and no adjustments needed to be recorded to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 due to the COVID-19 impacts.

Supplementary Data (Unaudited)

Oil and Gas Producing Activities

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, “Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas,” and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), our company has included certain supplemental disclosures about its oil and gas exploration and production operations.

All information in the following supplemental disclosures related to Blocks I, III, IV and V. Information with respect to Blocks III and IV has been included from April 5, 2015, when our company began operating these blocks.

 

A.    Reserve

Quantity Information

Graña y Montero Petrolera S.A. net proved reserves in the fields in which they operate and changes in those reserves for operations are disclosed below. The net proved reserves represent our company’s best estimate of proved oil and natural gas reserves. For 2018 and 2019, reserve estimates have been evaluated by its technical staff (reservoir engineers and geoscience professionals) and submitted to its Reserve Development Committee. The estimates for all years presented conform to the definitions found in FASB ASC paragraph 932-10-65-1 and Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

Proved oil reserves are those quantities of oil, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, based on prices used to estimate reserves, from a given date forward from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulation prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain.

The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, our company’s engineers and independent petroleum consultants relied on technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used to estimate our company’s proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, seismic data, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information and property ownership interests.

E. Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the proved reserves is based on estimates of net proved reserves and the period during which they are expected to be produced. Future cash inflows are computed by applying the twelve month period unweighted arithmetic average of the price as of the first day of each month within that twelve month period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, after royalty share of estimated annual future production from proved oil and gas reserves.
