Japan: Taiheiyo Cement’s sales fell by 2.1% year-on-year to US$1.94bn in the quarter to 30 June 2019 from US$1.99bn in the same period in 2018. Its profit dropped by 37.6% to US$58.7m from US$94.1m. It blamed falling sales on the end of construction booms linked to preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, earthquake reconstruction work and the construction of Yatsuba Dam.
