Argentina: Loma Negra’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation fell to US$150m for the first nine months of 2019, down by 6.0% from US$160m in the nine months to 30 September 2019. Loma Negra CEO Sergio Faifman said that political turmoil precipitated ‘high financial and economic volatility that eroded the incipient recovery previously observed in some of the macroeconomic variables.’ Volumes of cement and concrete fell in Argentina and Paraguay. Profit for the period fell to US$32m, down from US$34m by 6.1% year-on-year.
