PART I. INTRODUCTION

Certain Definitions

All references to "we," "us," "our," "our company," "the Company," "the Group," and "AENZA" in this annual report are to AENZA S.A.A. (formerly, "Graña y Montero S.A.A."), a publicly-held corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of the Republic of Peru ("Peru"). In this annual report, we refer to our principal subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures and associated companies as follows: (i) in our Infrastructure segment: Red Vial 5 S.A. as "Norvial"; Carretera Andina del Sur S.A. as "Survial"; Carretera Sierra Piura S.A.C as "Canchaque"; Tren Urbano de Lima S.A. (formerly, GyM Ferrovías S.A.) as "Línea 1"; Concesionaria La Chira S.A. as "La Chira"; and UNNA Transporte S.A.C. (formerly Concar S.A.C.) as "UNNA Transporte"; (ii) in our Energy segment: UNNA Energía S.A. (formerly GMP S.A.) as "UNNA Energía"; (iii) in our Real Estate segment: Viva Negocio Inmobiliario S.A. (formerly Viva GyM S.A.) as "Viva" and Inmobiliaria Almonte S.A.C. as "Almonte"; and

  1. in our Engineering and Construction ("E&C") segment: Cumbra Peru S.A. (formerly GyM S.A.) as "Cumbra Peru"; Vial y Vives-DSD S.A. as "Vial y Vives-DSD"; Cumbra Ingeniería S.A. (formerly GMI S.A.) as "Cumbra Ingeniería"; Morelco S.A.S. as "Morelco". For more information on our subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures or associated companies, see Notes 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 14 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

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, 2022 and 2023, and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 have been audited by Emmerich, Córdova y Asociados S. Civil. de R.L. in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 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).

We manage our business in four reportable segments: (i) Infrastructure; (ii) Energy; (iii) Real Estate and

  1. E&C. Prior to 2021, our Energy segment was part of our Infrastructure segment; however, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we changed our segment reporting to separately report our Energy business as its own segment. The historical segment financial information included in this annual report has been adjusted accordingly. For information on our results of operations by operating segment, see Note 7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Non-IFRS Data

In this annual report, we present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Segment, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment, as non-GAAP financial measures. 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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Segment, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment because we believe they provide 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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Segment, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Segment, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to other companies operating in our sectors because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effect of financing and income tax expenses and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Segment 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). Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Segment, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

1

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net (loss) profit plus: financial income and expenses; interests for present value of financial asset or liability; income tax; and depreciation and amortization. We define "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. Also, we define "Adjusted EBITDA per Segment" as net (loss) profit per segment plus: financial income and expenses per segment; interests for present value of financial asset or liability per segment; income tax per segment; and depreciation and amortization per segment. We define "Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Segment" as Adjusted EBITDA per Segment divided by revenues per segment.

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.C 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/3.713 to US$1.00, which was the average sale exchange rate for December 31, 2023, reported by the Peruvian Superintendence of Banks, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFPs, or "SBS"). 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 (indicative of future revenues expected to be realized in relation to signed contracts) for part of our Infrastructure, Real Estate and E&C reportable segments. We do not include backlog in this annual report in: (i) our Infrastructure segment for 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 segment because: (a) our revenues from hydrocarbon extraction services are dependent on the amounts of oil and gas we produce and their 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-BusinessOverview-Backlog." See also "Item 3.D. Key Information-RiskFactors-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."

2

Reserves Estimates

This annual report includes our estimates for proved reserves in Block V, where UNNA Energía provided hydrocarbon extraction services until October 2023, and Blocks III and IV, where UNNA Energía extracts hydrocarbon under license agreements with, Perupetro S.A. ("Perupetro"). These reserves estimates were prepared internally by our team of engineers and have not been audited or reviewed by any independent external engineers. For further information on these reserves estimates, see "Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Company-Additional Risks Related to our Infrastructure Business" and "Item 4.B. Information on the Company-BusinessOverview-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 infrastructure, energy, real estate, and E&C 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. 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 multiplied by 200,000 (which reflects 40 hours worked per week in a 50 -week year by 100 equivalent full-time workers) divided by the total number of hours worked by all full-time employees of our E&C segment during the relevant year.
