Sephaku Cement to pay up to US$2.8/yr in carbon tax

27 June 2019

South Africa: Sephaku Cement estimates it will have to pay up to US$2.8m/yr as part of South Africa’s new carbon tax. The new tax started in June 2019. The subsidiary of Nigeria’s Dangote Cement said that it would apply the tax on its products based on the proportion of clinker per tonne. This would work out at between a 1.5% and 2.5% price increases on lower strength and high strength cement respectively.

In a financial report to 31 March 2019 the cement producer said that its cement sales volumes fell by 6.4% year-on-year due to low cement demand was exacerbated by increases in value added tax (VAT) and fuel prices during the first and last quarter of its financial year. Its sales revenue fell by 3.1% to US$162m and its net profit rose to US$9.08m but only due to a tax credit.

Dangote Cement South Africa sales rise on higher demand in second half of 2017

22 March 2018

South Africa: Dangote Cement South Africa’s sales revenue rose by 3.7% year-on-year to US$200m in 2017 from US$192m in 2016. The subsidiary of Nigeria’s Dangote Cement attributed the result to increased demand and improvements in operational efficiency in the second half of the year. Its net profit fell by 16.2% to US$4.87m from US$5.81m due to one-off income from the closure agreement with Sinoma on the final handover of a new cement plant.

The cement producer added that the local cement industry increased its prices and ‘customer mix stability’ in 2017. Total estimated sales volumes including imports fell by 0.8% to 12.9Mt from 13Mt.

Sephaku Holdings comments on South African market

10 November 2016

South Africa: Sephaku Holdings has said that bagged cement market continues to perform better than that of bulk cement as large construction projects dwindle. The market continues to be characterised by price competition but appears to be stabilising following the implementation of price increases by all producers in the third quarter. Sephaku Holdings, which owns a minority stake in Sephaku Cement, made the comments in its half-year financial results that covered events until 30 September 2016. Investments of up to US$1.2m have been earmarked to improve raw material handling efficiency.

The company also said that imports of cement have ‘significantly’ declined on a year-on-year basis, particularly from Pakistan. By the end of June 2016 approximately 0.16Mt had been imported compared to 0.5Mt in the previous period, with 75% of the volume from China.

Modilati Gustav Mahlare to retire from board of Sephaku Holdings

23 August 2016

South Africa: Modilati Gustav Mahlare is to retire from Sephaku Holdings at its annual general meeting (AGM) to be held in September 2016.

Sephaku Cement posts US$1.37m loss in its first year

08 July 2014

South Africa: Costs relating to Sephaku Holdings' new cement business Sephaku Cement dragged the group to a loss in the year that ended in March 2014, though management has said that indications are positive for its cement venture.

Sephaku Holdings has a 36% share of Sephaku Cement, which in January 2014 completed the construction of two plants in North West Province and Mpumalanga. Nigeria's Dangote Cement is the majority shareholder in Sephaku Cement. Sephaku Holdings reported a post-tax loss of US$260,300 in the period under review, largely due to a loss from Sephaku Cement of US$1.37m.

Sephaku Holdings' latest results include little revenue from the cement business, as one of the plants began producing only in January 2014 and the other is due to begin production in July 2014. The South African cement market is currently oversupplied and is likely to remain that way for some time, but Sephaku and another newcomer, Mamba Cement, are banking on healthy demand growth and cost-efficiency advantages from their modern plants. Mamba has a plant under construction near Northam in Limpopo.
