Cementos Molins increases sales in first quarter of 2022

27 April 2022

Spain: Cementos Molins recorded first-quarter consolidated sales of Euro274m in 2022, up by 23% year-on-year from first-quarter 2021 levels. The group's net profit for the period fell by 34% year-on-year to Euro22m. It attributed this to material, power and transport costs inflation. During the quarter, Cementos Molins acquired Hanson Hispania's Catalonian ready-mix concrete and aggregates operations. It says that its 0.8x debt-to-earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) ratio positions it well to continue with the execution of its Strategic Plan 2020-2023.

Chief executive officer (CEO) Julio Rodríguez said “The year 2022 has an uncertain and highly complex global environment, in which the war in Ukraine and its global effects are added to the previously existing problems of costs inflation and supply chain disruptions. Despite this complex environment, we expect to continue in 2022 the path of solid results achieved in previous years."
