Lafarge Africa declares its board meeting and closed period for Q2 2020
Lafarge Africa Plc. has notified the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and the investing public of its closed period which commenced on Wednesday, 8th July 2020.
“We hereby notify the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the investing public that a meeting of the Board of Directors of Lafarge Africa Plc has been scheduled to hold on Thursday, 23rd July 2020 to consider the second quarter financial results of the Company for the quarter ended 30th June 2020,” the company wrote in a disclosure to NSE.
The notification which was duly signed by General Counsel & Company Secretary, Mrs. Adewunmi Alode explained further: “Accordingly, no Director, employee, persons discharging managerial responsibility and Advisers of the Company and their connected persons may directly or indirectly deal in the shares of the Company in any manner during the closed period.”
Lafarge Africa’s Q1 2020 revenue was up 9.8% year-on-year to N63.7 billion, driven by higher Cement Sales (a figure up 11% year-on-year to N62.3 billion) which offset the weakness in Aggregate and Concrete (down 21% y/y to N1.4bn). Its EBITDA grew by 2.4% year-on-year to N19.3 billion as well.
Over the past few months, Lafarge Africa made a few board changes with the retirement of two of its Non-Executive Directors, as well as the appointment of three new Directors. It had also spun off its South African subsidiary, Lafarge South Africa Holdings (LSAH), last year.
