Cementos Pacasmayo increases sales and earnings in first quarter of 2022

16 May 2022

Peru: Cementos Pacasmayo recorded consolidated sales of US$140m in the first quarter of 2022, up by 13% year-on-year from US$124m in the first quarter of 2021. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) also rose, by 21% year-on-year to US$128m from US$105m. The company said that its strong revenue generation enabled earnings growth despite cost increases. Its reliance on imported clinker to meet growing demand increased Cementos Pacasmayo’s exposure to the effects of inflation.

During the quarter, Cementos Pacasmayo produced 882,000t of cement across its three facilities, down by 4.4% year-on-year. The plants’ clinker production rose by 6.7% to 568Mt from 532Mt in the first quarter of 2021.

Mannok’s sales rise in 2021

16 May 2022

UK: Mannok recorded sales of Euro270m in 2021, up by 16% year-on-year from Euro233m in 2020. The company’s earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by 17% to Euro25.8m from Euro31.1m. The group attributed this to substantial cost absorption beginning in mid-2021. Energy prices rose by 66% year-on-year, while the cost of carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) credits more than doubled to Euro80/t at the end of the year.

Mannok said that demand for its products remains resilient, supported by stronger cost recovery. It added that a levelling out in energy prices has driven stronger profitability in the first quarter and April of 2022.

Cement and clinker sales volumes fell there by 17%, but rose in every other region.

Despite the continuing uncertainties regarding the supply of energy and raw materials and the associated rise in energy prices, we were able to increase our revenue significantly.” Looking to the rest of 2022, von Achten said
”Although there is still a lot of uncertainty concerning energy and raw material availability and costs, we continue to see strong demand for our products in all regions. In particular, demand for sustainable, low-carbon products is growing rapidly.”

Cemex boosts first-quarter sales and earnings in 2022

28 April 2022

Mexico: Cemex recorded consolidated sales of US$3.77bn in 2022, up by 13% year-on-year from first-quarter 2021 levels. The group recorded operating earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) growth of 3% year-on-year, to US$691m. Cemex said that sales growth in its Europe, Middle East and Africa region led the earnings increase, supported by strong underlying demand conditions with robust volume growth in Europe and the US. It recorded double-digit like-for-like price rises across its global operations. During the quarter, group CO2 emissions fell by 4% year-on-year.

Chief executive officer CEO Fernando González said “We are quite pleased with our first quarter performance despite the unprecedented global macro challenges. Against the backdrop of the worst inflation headwinds in more than 40 years, we achieved strong pricing traction across our products. Given the tight supply and demand dynamics in most of our markets, we are optimistic that we can recover input cost inflation. In addition, our diversified energy, supply chain and Climate Action strategies are paying off and helping us respond to energy cost pressures.”

Regarding the quarter’s sustainability achievements, González said “Our performance gives me great confidence that we can reach not only our 2030 climate goal but also our Net Zero ambition.”

Czech Republic: Cement Hranice’s sales rose by 13% year-on-year to US$89m in 2021. Its cement sales rose most sharply in its domestic Czech market, especially in the second half of 2021. As a result, the company increased its net profit for the year by 4% year-on-year to US$25.6m.

US facing cement shortage

21 April 2022

US: Concrete companies have reported an on-going shortage of cement as a contributor to increased costs in the construction industry. Local press has reported that the shortage is the result of high demand, most notably from commercial projects. A lack of cement truck drivers has reportedly exacerbated the supply situation.

North Carolina-based ready-mix concrete producer Metrocon president Dan Crosby said that his company’s facilities are currently operating at 60% capacity due to the shortage.

Value of UK construction activity rises to Euro27.5bn in first quarter of 2022

19 April 2022

UK: UK construction recorded its highest ever quarterly total value at Euro27.5bn in the first quarter of 2022. Participants in the industry agreed Euro10.4bn-worth of construction contracts in March 2022. Analyst Barbour ABI has reported that residential construction contracts rose by 50% month-on-month to Euro4.22bn, their highest level since the Covid-19 outbreak arrived in the UK in March 2020. Chief economist Tom Hall noted a year-on-year and month-on-month increase in office construction activity as indicative of a reversal of the home-working trend of the past two years.

Hall said “While the current state of the industry is positive with lots of activity and record-breaking levels of contracts awards and planning approvals in some areas, the horizon is more concerning. Overall, the level of planning applications received in March was low and raises questions about the delivery of the government’s commitment to raise the standard of healthcare across the country and its flagship levelling up agenda.”

Angarskcement restarts kiln four after a decade of downtime

12 April 2022

Russia: SibCem subsidiary Angarskcement has restarted kiln four at its plant in Angarsk after a decade of inactivity. The kiln was last used in 2010. The decision to restart the kiln was made in 2021 due to growing demand for building materials in the Irkutsk region and an increase in cement sales. Kiln four was first lit in 1960 and was later upgraded in the early 1980s. It has a clinker production capacity of 720t/day. All four kilns are now running at the cement plant.
