Heidelberg Materials Bangladesh slipped into losses in the first half of 2026 as lower margins and reduced sales volume weighed on the cement maker’s earnings.
The company reported a consolidated loss per share of Tk1.96 for the January-June period of 2026, compared with a positive earnings per share (EPS) of Tk3.95 a year earlier, according to a disclosure filed with the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Sunday.
For the April-June quarter, the company posted a loss per share of Tk1.09, compared with EPS of Tk0.47 in the same period a year earlier.
Heidelberg Materials Bangladesh said the decline in earnings was mainly due to lower margin per tonne and reduced sales volume during the period.
The company’s net operating cash flow per share improved to a negative Tk0.89 in the first half of 2026 from a negative Tk10.14 a year earlier, mainly due to lower payments made to suppliers.
Net asset value per share declined to Tk70.86 as of June 2026 from Tk73.92 at the end of December 2025, mainly due to the net loss recorded during the first half.
Heidelberg Materials Bangladesh shares fell 3.12 per cent to close at Tk223.80 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Sunday.
