Nigerian sales boost Lafarge Africa’s sales so far in 2018

18 October 2018

Nigeria: Sales in Nigeria have boosted Lafarge Africa’s sales revenue so far in 2018. It added that increasing prices in South Africa had also helped. The cement producer’s sales rose by 5% year-on-year to US$643m in the first nine months of 2018 from US$614m in the same period in 2017. However, its operating earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by 8% to US$115m from US$124m due to poor performance in South Africa in the first half of the year.

“We continued to deliver strong margins in our Nigerian business as a result of our successful commercial strategies with improved product visibility and the fast tracking of the new route to market. Our energy efficiency plan translated in increased use of alternative fuel and coal,” said Michel Puchercos, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Lafarge Africa.
