Loma Negra Reports 2Q20 Results

Loma Negra, (NYSE: LOMA) ( BYMA: LOMA), (“Loma Negra” or the “Company”), the leading cement producer in Argentina, today announced results for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (our “2Q20”).

2Q20 Key Highlights

  • Net revenue decreased 30.1% YoY to Ps.7,453 million (US$108 million), reflecting the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extended lockdown
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA down 24.6% YoY to Ps.2,077 million (US$32 million)
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 204 basis points YoY from 25.8% to 27.9%, driven by cost control efforts and efficiency enhancement from previous structure adequacy efforts
  • Net Debt /LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.17x from 1.26x in 1Q20 and 0.86x in FY19

The company has presented certain financial figures, Table 1b and Table 11, in U.S. dollars and Pesos without giving effect to IAS 29. The company has prepared all other financial information herein by applying IAS 29.

Commenting on the financial and operating performance for the second quarter of 2020, Sergio Faifman, Loma Negra’s Chief Executive Officer, noted: “As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered the second quarter amid an unprecedented nation-wide lockdown which negatively impacted our businesses. Along the quarter, and depending on how the sanitation situation developed in each jurisdiction, some of these restrictions were softened, or even lifted. In anticipation of the effects of COVID-19, we took proactive measures with special focus on adopting strict biosafety protocols in our operations and maintaining our financial strength on our balance sheet.

Cement demand in Argentina in the Second quarter contracted around 32% YoY and around 4% when compared sequentially with the previous quarter. Taking a closer look on the behavior of our demand, we observed that the initial plummeting of sales in April was followed by a strong recovery since May in the bag segment across the country.

Our top line for the quarter decreased also around 30% year-on-year to 7.5 billion pesos, and our adjusted EBITDA declined by 24.6% to 2.1 billion pesos. Our EBITDA margin expanded by 204 basis points to 27.9%, mainly reflecting our efforts in cost control and our commitment to maintaining a healthy productivity and efficiency levels. Our core cement business remained the principal factor behind these margin expansion.

As previously anticipated, works on L´Amalí project were resumed on late April after the temporarily restrictions due to the COVID-19 were lifted. Certainly, this suspension together with the biosafety protocols adopted have delayed the inauguration date of the project, which is now expected to be at the beginning of 2021.

We remain alert and cautious regarding the evolution of this worldwide crisis, which ending seems hard to predict.

I would finally like to thank our people who, in this unprecedented COVID-19 situation, showed a great responsibility and resourcefulness in order to overcome difficulties and to keep on running the business.”

2 Sales volumes include inter-segment sales

Sales volumes of cement, masonry and lime in Argentina during 2Q20 declined 24.5% to 1.01 million tons reflecting the full impact of the COVID-19 lockdown and the negative economic momentum in the country. Bag segment was more resilient, presenting a very strong recovery dynamic since May, including some positive growth rates when compared to the year ago quarter. On the other hand, bulk segment was heavily impacted by the absence of private and public works, particularly in those jurisdictions where the COVID-19 restriction was stricter.

In Paraguay, the impact of COVID-19 lock-down affected heavily sales volumes in April. Afterwards, our sales rebounded vigorously, achieving in June a record high level. Consequently, sales volumes in the second quarter grew to reached 0.13 million tons, or 0.8% when compared to 2Q19.

As a result, consolidated total sales volumes of cement, masonry and lime for the quarter decreased 22.3% YoY to 1.13 million tons.

Sales volumes in the Concrete segment and Aggregates in Argentina plummeted 92.3% and 90.9% YoY, to 0.02 million m3 and 0.03 million tons, respectively, heavily affected by the strict lock-down and the consequent impact in private and public projects.

Railroad segment volumes experienced a 44.3% decline versus the comparable quarter in 2019, mainly explained by the volume drop of building materials and frac-sand, as well as a decline in most other transported products.

Net Revenues

Net revenue decreased 30.1% to Ps. 7,453 million in 2Q20, from Ps. 10,664 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the full impact of the COVID-19 lockdown and the negative economic momentum.

Revenues in Cement, masonry and lime in Argentina declined by 25.8% YoY, as a result of the sharp volume drop particularly in the bulk segment. Cement revenues in Paraguay improved 3.3% YoY, as more flexible conditions were imposed to control the COVID-19 situation.

Railroad revenues decreased 36.1% YoY versus the comparable quarter in 2019, mainly explained by the drop in building materials, frac-sand, and most other transported products, and marginally compensated by higher services rendered.

Concrete and Aggregate revenues plummeted 92.6% and 94.0%, respectively. Both sales volumes and prices declined when compared to the 2Q in the year ago period. These segments were much more impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions as they are strongly related to private and public infrastructure works and have a higher exposure to main urban centers.

Cost of sales, and Gross profit

Cost of sales decreased 28.7% YoY reaching Ps.5,653 million in 2Q20 mainly as a result of the lower volume sold coupled with higher efficiencies and lower unitary energy costs measured in US dollars. Additionally, structure costs benefitted by previous footprint adequacy efforts.

Gross profit declined 34.2% YoY to Ps.1,800 million in 2Q20 from Ps.2,737 million in 2Q19, with gross profit margin contracting 151 basis points YoY to 24.1%, affected by the full impact of COVID-19 and a higher burden of depreciations and amortizations.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses (SG&A) in 2Q20 decreased 7.6% YoY to Ps.641 million, from Ps.694 million in 2Q19. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased 209 basis points to 8.6% in 2Q20, from 6.5% in 2Q19 negatively impacted by the strong decline in revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 24.6% YoY in the second quarter of 2020 to Ps. 2,077 million. While EBITDA was significantly impacted by the sharp decline in revenues, our Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 204 basis points to 27.9% compared to 25.8% in 2Q19, which had been impacted by non-recurrent costs related to production footprint adequacy efforts.

Table 11, presenting financial Data by Segment (Excluding IAS 29), shows that for the Cement, masonry and lime segment in Argentina Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 155 basis points to 30.7% during the second quarter. The Cement segment in Paraguay, presents an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 42.4%, expanding 104 basis points compared to the same period one year ago.

In addition, the Concrete and Aggregates segments reported a sharp decline in Adjusted EBITDA margin posting a negative 82.7% and 173%, respectively, as a consequence of the virtually non-existing private or public infrastructure works.

In line with the sharp decline in building material transportation and in the overall economic activity in this second quarter, Railroad segment Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted to 6.9% from 12.8% in the comparable period in 2019.

During 2Q20, the Company reported a loss of Ps.1,106 million in total finance costs-net compared to a gain of Ps. 377 million in the previous year second quarter, mainly due to a loss in foreign exchange differences as a consequence of the exchange rate depreciation during the quarter.

Net Financial expense increased by Ps.78 million to Ps.615 million resulting from a higher gross debt position together with higher interest rates.

Net Profit and Net Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company

Net Profit for 2Q20, decreased 93.0% to Ps.111 million from Ps.1,570 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, heavily impacted by foreign exchange loss.

Net Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company decreased 94.6% YoY, or Ps.1,439 million, to Ps.82 million in 2Q20. During the quarter, the Company reported earnings per common share of Ps.0.1371 and earnings per ADR of Ps.0.6857, compared with earnings per common share of Ps.2.5511 and earnings per ADR of Ps.12.7553 in 2Q19.

In the 2Q20, amid the COVID-19 situation, our cash flow generated by operating activities was Ps.3,131 million compared to Ps.1,427 million in 2Q19 as we remained focused on operational and financial actions that resulted in lower working capital requirements for the quarter. During 2Q20, the Company made capital expenditures for a total of Ps.1,013 million, mostly allocated to the expansion of production capacity of L’Amalí plant.

Expansion of L’Amalí Plant.

Loma Negra is moving ahead with the capital expenditure at its L’Amalí plant, which will add 2.7 million tons annually and drive higher profitability. This expansion involves a total capital expenditure, originally estimated at approximately US$350 million.

On March 20, and in compliance with the Decree 297 (COVID-19), the expansion project had been temporarily suspended provoking a delay on the project execution. In April, permission to re-start works on the project was granted. Construction works stopped for approximately 45 days and then restarted with restricted manpower following biosafety protocols.

In the quarter, all detailed engineering was completed, all equipment and materials supplies has been delivered to site, and commissioning and start-up has been completed at crushing department.

Certainly, the impact of the delay, the adoption of new construction protocol, or any other potential measures related to COVID-19 pandemic may provoke additional delays to the startup of the new production line, which is now expected to be at the beginning of 2021.

Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus financial interest, net plus income tax expense plus depreciation and amortization plus exchange rate differences plus other financial expenses, net plus tax on debits and credits to bank accounts. Loma Negra believes that excluding tax on debits and credits to bank accounts from its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is a better measure of operating performance when compared to other international players.

Net Debt is calculated as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Note

The Company presented some figures converted from Pesos to U.S. dollars for comparison purposes.

The information presented in U.S. dollars is for the convenience of the reader only. Certain figures included in this report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures presented in previous quarters.

Rounding: We have made rounding adjustments to reach some of the figures included in this annual report. As a result, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.
