Hong Leong Asia reports revenues growth in 2023

01 March 2024

Singapore: Hong Leong Asia reported a 5% year-on-year rise in revenue to US$3.03bn and a 19% increase in net income to US$48.3m for 2023. In the second half of the year, the company’s building materials segment raised its sales by 14% to US$256m and more than doubled in profit to US$33.6m. It attributed the growth to its cement and ready-mix operations in Malaysia, which reversed its previous year's losses.

CEO Stephen Ho said "The prices we see in Malaysia now reflect a bit more closely the higher costs of operations. I think we are at a level where profitability starts to kick in for everyone.”

Cash flow issues noted in Vietnamese cement sector

19 April 2023

Vietnam: Cash flow issues have been noted as a risk for local cement producers struggling to create enough revenue to continue operations. Revenue is reliant on output, local consumption and exports but these are all falling with raw material costs rising and no improvement forecast for the real estate in the short-term, according to the Việt Nam News newspaper. Examples of cement companies reporting a loss include Quang Ninh Construction and Cement in the fourth quarter of 2022. An estimate by the Quang Ninh Tax Department also showed that the company owed more than US$4.m in July 2021, making it the largest debtor in the province’s building materials industry. Quang Son Cement, based in Thanh Hoa province, also reported an after-tax loss of US$13.5m in 2022.

Data from the Vietnam Association for Building Materials (VABM) shows that the cement industry’s production capacity reached 114Mt/yr in 2022, with an estimated output of 93Mt in 2022, giving it a capacity utilisation rate of 82%. However, domestic consumption accounts for around 60 –65Mt/yr, with exports accounting for the remainder. Information from the General Statistics Office reveal that local cement production fell by just under 10% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023.

Thai Duy Sam, vice president and general secretary of VABM, told Vietnam Investment Review “In recent years, the cost of input materials, particularly coal, has increased multiple times. It has an effect on both production and output.” He added, “Currently, several significant corporations continue to ensure production. However, small enterprises with production lines that can produce 1 - 2t/day face both manufacturing and consumption challenges.” He continued by saying that the production lines of older plants have high depreciation costs and greater heat and electricity consumption than modern units. In addition, these smaller and older plants often lack a trademark, which can make the sales process harder. Commenting on the real estate market, Sam noted complicated payment processes can cause problems with both construction companies and building material suppliers. He cited examples of how the payment for the building materials used to build the Dong Tru and Vinh Tuy bridges had still not been settled 10 years after completion.

Martin Marietta posts low fourth quarter revenue

16 February 2023

US: Martin Marietta Materials posted lower revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a slowdown in the housing market and bad weather in Texas reduced shipments of materials, especially concrete. While the company reported a net income for the fourth quarter of US$184m, a 17% rise year-on-year compared with US$157m in the fourth quarter of 2021, its revenue fell to US$1.48bn from US$1.50bn. This was partly due to a 1.7% fall in building material revenues. Cement shipments fell by 11%, mostly due to wet and cold weather in Texas, though prices rose by 21%. Ready-mixed concrete revenue fell by 35% due to the sale of the company's Colorado and Central Texas ready-mixed concrete business.

Titan’s revenue decreases in first quarter of 2021

14 May 2021

Greece: The consolidated revenues of the Titan Cement Group came to Euro371m in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 4% compared to the first quarter of 2020. The company said that the decline was due in part to the weakness of the US Dollar and currencies linked to it. It said that organic growth was solid, with revenue rising by 3% in local currency terms.

During the first quarter of 2021, Titan’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 38% to Euro56.1m compared to Euro40.6m in the same period of 2020. However, Titan noted that deferred maintenance costs, which will now be reflected in the second quarter of 2021, would have pegged its first quarter EBITDA back by around Euro8.3m.

The group said that 2021 started positively, with robust demand in the US, particularly in March 2021. It also observed solid market trends in Southeast Europe, as well as continued favourable momentum in Greece and some improvement in the eastern Mediterranean.

All product lines showed positive trends in terms of sales volumes. The group's cement and clinker sales increased by 3%, supported by increased demand in most markets. Ready-mixed concrete and aggregate sales volumes increased by 1% and 3% respectively.
