Austria: RHI Magnesita recorded consolidated net sales Euro2.26bn in 2020, down by 23% year-on-year from Euro2.92bn in 2019. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were Euro140m, down by 53% from Euro300m. Pre-tax profit for the year was Euro42.0m, down by 30% from Euro200m.
The group attributed the declines to lower refractory volumes as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on market demand. It said that customers began re-stocking supply chains at the end of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, driving increased refractory demand. Its cement and lime business declined by 21% in 2020. The supplier said that the business recorded a ‘strong performance’ in the first quarter, characteristic of seasonal demand, followed by weak second and third quarters when demand was negatively impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak.
