Oman: Raysut Cement reported a consolidated net loss of US$7.5m for the first half of 2025, up from US$3.9m year-on-year, despite a 31% rise in group revenue to US$108m in the six months to 30 June 2025. The increase was reportedly driven by improved sales in domestic and export markets, including Yemen, the Maldives and East Africa.
A new board, appointed in March 2025, has launched a five-point restructuring plan to restore profitability by 2026, addressing debt, streamlining operations and improving efficiency. The company continues to face regional overcapacity, currency risks and competition from Asian producers.
