Australia: Wagners’ net profit fell by 49% year-on-year to US$8.66m in its financial year to 30 June 2019 from US$16.8m in the same period in 2018. It blamed lower cement sales volumes on a dispute with Boral and a delay in large infrastructure projects. It suspended its supply of cement to Boral in March 2019 when the latter company said it had found cheaper cement from a ‘long established’ supplier in South East Queensland. Wagners sales revenue grew by 2.3% to US$161m from US$157m.
