Shree Cement profit plunges

13 November 2024

India: Shree Cement’s profit plunged by more than 80% year-on-year to US$11.0m in the three months to 30 September 2024, weighed down by weakness in both demand and low prices. While the September quarter is seasonally weak for cement makers in India, the country's third largest producer's sales volume slipped as compared to the previous year too, falling by 7% to 7.6Mt.

Neeraj Akhoury, managing director of Shree Cement, said "Despite strong headwinds on account of an extended monsoon season and softer pricing environment across the industry, Shree Cement has delivered a steady performance on the back of accelerated operational efficiency measures, focused cost optimisation drive and product ‘premium-isation’ initiatives.” He added that the company expects an increase in demand in the remainder of the 2025 fiscal year due to the release of government budgetary allocations for national infrastructure projects.

Votorantim Cimentos reports 2024 third quarter financial results

13 November 2024

Brazil: Votorantim Cimentos has reported that its net profit surged by 24% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2024, to reach US$179m. Its net revenue increased by 6% year-on-year to reach US$1.33bn.

However, when excluding currency fluctuations, revenue decreased by 1%. This highlights the significant impact of foreign exchange rates on Votorantim's global operations. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 20% to US386m. Cement sales volume increased by 3% to 10Mt during the quarter.

The company said that these figures indicate resilient demand across Votorantim's markets, despite challenging economic conditions in some regions. The company's diversified geographical presence has helped balance market fluctuations.

In the sustainability arena, Votorantim Cimentos also says that it has made significant progress. The company reduced its specific embodied CO2 emissions by 4% to 556kg/t of cement in 2023. It has also increased its alternative fuel thermal substitution rate (TSR) from 26.5% in 2022 to 30.9% in 2023.

Ciments de Bizerte reports fall in sales

13 November 2024

Tunisia: Société les Ciments de Bizerte’s local sales fell by 77.43% in the third quarter of 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, to US$1.7m in 2024. This decrease is due to the total cessation of clinker production during this period. Similarly, the total turnover of Société Les Ciments de Bizerte fell in the third quarter of 2024 due to the domestic sales situation and a total absence of exports. As a result of the company’s ongoing financial crisis, it has not been able to meet its commitments to suppliers or its bank debts.

The company made just 16,796t of cement during the third quarter of 2024, 75,020t less than in the same period of 2023 when it produced 91,816t.

Cementir blames reduced earnings in first nine months of 2024 on lower performance in most regions

11 November 2024

Italy: Cementir Holding has blamed a fall in earnings in the first nine months of 2024 on “lower results achieved in all geographical areas except Egypt.” It added that sales had fallen due to a decrease in volumes in some places and negative currency effects in Türkiye and Egypt. The group’s revenue fell by 5% year-on-year to €1.24bn in the first nine months of 2024, from €1.30bn in the same period in 2023. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped by 9% to €296m from €326m. Sales volumes of cement and clinker remained stable at 7.98Mt. It noted that volumes increases were reported in Türkiye and, to a lesser extent, in Malaysia and the US. However, volumes of ready-mixed concrete rose by 5% to 3.33Mm3 from 3.18Mm3.

Francesco Caltagirone Jr, chair and CEO, said “The results for the first nine months of 2024 are in line with our expectations and, after several quarters of contraction, signs of a market turnaround in some geographies are emerging in the third quarter of 2024. We are strengthening our competitive position through initiatives such as: the investment on Kiln 4 in Belgium, the restart of the second line in Egypt, the acquisition in concrete in Nordic & Baltic, a new limestone quarry in Malaysia, and the repurchase of a large part of the minority interest in our Egyptian subsidiary, to prepare ourselves for any upcoming market opportunities”.

The India Cements results hit by weak demand

11 November 2024

India: The India Cements’ revenue fell by 24% year-on-year to US$244m in the six months to 30 September 2024 from US$320m in the same period in 2023. Its reported loss grew to US$33.3m from US$19.8m. Sales volumes declined by 15% to 4.26Mt from 5.04Mt. The company’s performance was negatively affected by weak cement demand and a significant decline in prices, according to the Hindu newspaper. It also said that is was unable to benefit from lower fuel costs, particularly petcoke, as lower sales volumes reduced its margins. The cement producer was purchased by UltraTech Cement in July 2024.

Industria Nacional del Cemento closes in on 11 million bag goal for 2024

11 November 2024

Paraguay: Gerardo Guerrero, the president of Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC), says that the state-owned company is close to reaching its target of producing 11 million bags of cement in 2024. In October 2024 it manufactured 1.07m bags of cement and sold 1.27m, according to the Agencia de Información Paraguaya. Guerrero attributed the achievement to the company switching its supply chain to land-based transport due to poor conditions on the Paraguay River. INC reportedly has a 37% market share. It operates an integrated cement plant at Vallemí and a grinding unit at Villeta.
