Foundation Building Materials’ sales fall

15 May 2020

US: Gypsum wallboard distributor Foundation Building Materials reports that sales of wallboard fell slightly to US$202m in the first quarter of 2020. This was attributed to disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Overall its sales across all business lines rose, in part due to an additional business day in the reporting quarter compared to the same period in 2019. It noted lower sales growth in states with stronger lockdown measures, including Washington, California, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Overall sales in April 2020 were reported as being 20% down year-on-year.

Etex boosts net profit by 26% year-on-year in 2019

08 April 2020

Belgium: Etex’s net profit was Euro176m in 2019, a rise of 26% year-on-year from Euro140m in 2019. Sales crept up by 1.5% to Euro2.94bn from Euro2.90bn. Etex chief executive officer (CEO) Paul Van Oyen called 2019 an ‘outstanding year’ in which Etex ‘significantly increased its plasterboard volumes, driven by a strong market in several countries’ and reduced its debt by 43% to Euro331m, its lowest level since 2011. This was thanks to the sale of its UK and Portuguese tile roofing businesses.

Van Oyen’s announcement was overshadowed by the current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. “Today, my thoughts mainly go to all of our colleagues and their families worldwide, especially the ones who have been infected with the coronavirus,” he said. “Etex will not change its identity as a result of this crisis: our priority is and will always be the health and safety of our colleagues and stakeholders worldwide. We are determined keeping our business running, and to continue to Inspire ways of living.” Van Oyen also paid his respects to those within the company who have died of coronavirus.

Eagle Materials revenue rises 9%

12 November 2019

US: Eagle Materials has reported financial results for the second quarter of its 2020 fiscal year, a period that ended on 30 September 2019. Its overall revenue was US$414.5m for the period, a 9% year-on-year improvement.

Gypsum wallboard and paperboard revenue declined slightly from the prior year, as improved sales volume was offset by lower pricing.
