Company outlook
Métier and SepCem have not yet observed a material uplift in overall demand for construction materials, however the retail environment for bag sales has improved. The operating environment is expected to remain subdued during the second half of the financial year. Nonetheless, both businesses remain cautiously optimistic and are strategically positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities as they emerge.
Métier will continue to execute its expansion strategy, with a new batch plant scheduled to open in Richards Bay in the coming months. Further expansion in the Western Cape is also planned, supported by the encouraging performance of existing operations in the region, which have begun contributing meaningfully to group results.
SepCem expects a continued modest improvement in the retail sector demand as well as road construction, partially offset by stagnant civil construction. SepCem however remains concerned about unrelenting imports and is in the process of engaging regulators to explore solutions.
Austerity measures remain, while the use of alternative fuels and artificial intelligence will be accelerated to exploit efficiencies and cost savings.
