Philippines: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the US$857m initial public offering of Cemex Holdings Philippines. Documents filed with the SEC showed that Cemex Holdings planned to sell 2.032 billion common shares at an offer price of up to US$0.37/share to raise US$746m in proceeds.

Eurocement expects cement demand in Russia to fall by up to 10% in 2016

26 May 2016

Russia: Filaret Galchev, the owner of Eurocement, expects that demand for cement in Russia will fall by 8% - 10% in 2016 after falling 12% in 2015. The cement producer will sell about 20Mt of cement in Russia and about 3.5Mt in other regions including Uzbekistan and Ukraine in 2016. He added that average production costs at the group will produce cement at around US$25/t.

In an interview with Rossiya 24 television reported upon by Interfax, Galchev also described Eurocement’s sale of its 6.1% stake in LafargeHolcim in February 2016 as ‘unexpected’. The Russian cement producer sold its share in LafargeHolcim after they lost nearly half of their value in six months.

"No, I did not expect it. We analysed the situation for a long time, but that is the decision that was made," said Galchev. He added that he had no issues with Sberbank, the Russian bank that restructured Eurocement’s debt after the sale of the shares in LafargeHolcim.

Originally Eurocement was a shareholder in Holcim and it received a stake in LafargeHolcim after that company was formed in a merger. The stake was subsequently transferred to Sberbank of Russia in January 2016 after the shares, which Galchev had acquired with financing from Bank of America, lost over 40% of their value in half a year. At the beginning of February 2016, Sberbank sold the 6.12% LafargeHolcim stake to investors from the UK, Switzerland, the US and other countries.

Shareholders add capital to Medcem Cameroon

21 April 2016

Cameroon: The share capital of Medcem Cameroon has risen to US$689,000 from US$17,200, the company has revealed in a statement. However, the cement grinding plant has not produced cement for the local market in at least six months according to the Agence de Presse Africaine. Medcem’s production stopped after several shutdowns earlier in 2015 and a period of testing in late August 2015.

Medcem Cameroon, a subsidiary of Turkish company Eren Holding, has a cement production capacity of 0.6Mt/yr. Les Cimenteries du Cameroun (CIMENCAM), a subsidiary of LafargeHolcim, and Ciments de l'Afrique (CIMAF), part of the Moroccan Addoha group, both operate integrated cement plants in the country. Dangote inaugurated a cement grinding plant in August 2015 and Mira is also planning to build a grinding plant in the country.

ARM Cement to finalise investor talks by mid-April 2016

04 April 2016

Kenya: ARM Cement expects to conclude talks on a foreign investor taking a US$140m stake in the company by 15 April 2016. The investment is expected to be concluded by June 2016, the Kenyan cement producer said in a statement sent to the Nairobi stock exchange and reported by Mist News.

“The board and management of the company believe that the investment would, if made, strengthen the financial position of the company as it executes its regional growth plans,” said ARM Cement in the statement.

ARM Cement announced in December 2015 that it was in talks with a potential investor. India’s UltraTech Cement was linked to the deal in January 2016. ARM Cement was said to be facing ‘liquidity challenges’ by the Capital Markets Authority in March 2016. The Kenyan cement producer has previously said that the foreign investment will be in the form of a seven-year convertible preference shares. This is not expected to reach the threshold requiring a mandatory takeover bid on conversion to equity in the company. Funds from the investment of up to US$110m will be used to repay company debt. The rest of the balance will go towards expanding the company’s cement business.
