In particular, the cement segment recorded a revenue of approximately HK $184,782,000, representing a decrease of approximately HK $81,347,000 or 30.6% as compared to approximately HK $266,129,000 for the same period in 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in cement price caused by the intensified market competition during the reporting period, as well as the downward demand caused by the deep adjustment of the downstream real estate industry and the pressure of raw material cost caused by the high cost of raw materials in the upstream.
