China Resources Building Materials Technology Holdings Limited released unaudited results for the three months ended 31 March 2026, highlighting a sharp deterioration in profitability driven mainly by declining selling prices of cement and concrete.
Turnover and Margin • Turnover fell 9.9% year-on-year to RMB4.17 billion. • Gross profit declined 37.3% to RMB473.93 million, pushing gross margin down 4.9 percentage points to 11.4%. • Segment gross margins were 12.2% for cement, 11.9% for concrete and 11.4% for aggregates, compared with 16.7%, 13.2% and 24.4% respectively a year earlier.
