ASIA CEMENT CH (00743) announced an anticipated unaudited profit attributable to equity holders of approximately RMB114.4 million for the first half of 2025. This marks a significant reversal from the comparable period in 2024, which saw a loss of roughly RMB405 million. The board attributed this projected financial improvement primarily to dual factors: elevated selling prices for the Group's cement products coupled with reduced sales costs year-over-year. This positive shift underscores operational enhancements during the review period, contrasting sharply with the previous year's performance metrics where market conditions proved less favorable. The company's strategic pricing adjustments and cost containment measures appear to have driven this turnaround, positioning it for stronger financial health midway through the fiscal year.
