ACC?s Q1 FY25 Net Profit Falls 22.5% to Rs.3.61 Bn

ACC Limited has reported a significant decline in its net profit for the first quarter of FY25, with a drop of 22.5% year-on-year, reaching ?3.61 billion. This downturn reflects the company's ongoing challenges amid a tough economic environment and increased operational costs.

The cement giant's revenue for the quarter also witnessed a decline, attributed mainly to higher input costs and market volatility. Despite efforts to streamline operations and enhance efficiency, the company struggled to offset the rising costs associated with raw materials and transportation.

ACC's performance was also impacted by a slowdown in the construction sector, which has been experiencing reduced demand due to various economic factors. The overall slowdown in infrastructure projects and real estate developments contributed to the reduced sales volumes for the company.

In response to these challenges, ACC is focusing on cost control measures and exploring strategies to improve operational efficiencies. The company aims to leverage its strong market presence and ongoing investments in technology to bolster performance in the coming quarters.

ACC's management remains optimistic about a potential recovery as market conditions stabilise. They are committed to enhancing productivity and pursuing growth opportunities to navigate through the current economic uncertainties. The company?s proactive approach is expected to help mitigate the impact of current challenges and position it for future success.
