News Votorantim Cimentos reports 23% sales growth so far in 2020

Votorantim Cimentos reports 23% sales growth so far in 2020

Brazil: Votorantim Cimentos’ consolidated net sales in the first nine months of 2020 were US$2.17bn, up by 23% year-on-year from US$1.76bn in the corresponding period of 2019. However, its profit fell by 61% to US$28.7m from US$73.9m

Cement sales in the third quarter of 2020 rose by 15% year-on-year to 9.7Mt from 8.4Mt in the third quarter of 2019. The company reported increased sales volumes in Uruguay, the US and Canada, and an 18% increase in Brazil, “maintaining the strong pace” recorded at the end of the first half of 2020. The company said, “The significant emergency aid from government during this period and its use in the direct purchase of construction inputs, including cement, has supported civil construction alongside the currently historically low interest rate. In addition, people continue to invest in improving their homes, with retail sales of building materials increasing nationally.”

The company’s third quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 94% to US$281m in 2020 from US$145m in 2019. It said, “The economic opening after the initial restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic is turning out more positively than anticipated on the third quarter of 2020, while the on-going recovery is projected to be gradual, considering the uncertain scenario. Currently, global gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to decrease 4% in 2020 - less severely than the previously published data, although uncertainty around the recovery path for upcoming years due to second wave of Covid-19 remains considerable in some countries, alongside viability of additional fiscal and monetary stimulus.”
