On August 15, DONGWU CEMENT announced that the group expects its loss for the first half of 2025 to decrease to approximately HK$12.966 million, representing a year-on-year reduction of about 67.6%. The announcement stated that the loss reduction was primarily attributed to the domestic cement industry's "anti-involution" policies driving a moderate recovery in performance, the slowing decline in overall market demand in China, and gains from the sale of cement clinker capacity indicators (these capacity indicators will continue to be replaced by outsourced clinker supply).
