Thailand: SCG’s sales from its cement business rose by 3% year-on-year to US$3.04bn in the first half of 2019 from US$2.94bn in the same period in 2018. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 7% to US$410m from US$382m. Cement sales in the second quarter of 2019 were driven by the non-government sector. Overall the group’s sales and earnings fell due to poor performance from its chemicals division, which it blamed on the on-going US-China trade war.
