Trinidad & Tobago: Cemex subsidiary Trinidad Cement (TCL) has reported a strong start to 2025, posting a net profit attributable to shareholders of US$3.8m in the first quarter of the year. This represents a significant turnaround from the US$1.1m loss recorded in the first quarter of 2024, with TCL reporting higher revenues and ongoing cost management initiatives. TCL attributed this to a series of necessary price rises, the most recent of which took effect in February 2025.
TCL’s revenue for the first quarter of 2025 rose by 9% year-on-year US$92.2m, up from US$84.4 in the first quarter of 2024. Its gross profit climbed to US$27.4m, which the company attributed to improved sales volumes and operational efficiencies across its regional markets, including Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana.
