Summary:

  • Chemical Industries (Far East) Limited anticipates reporting a loss for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
  • The expected loss is significantly influenced by a challenging environment characterized by lower industrial demand and intense competition resulting in depressed pricing.
  • Unfavorable contractual sales terms, high energy costs, and increased carbon tax further contributed to the anticipated loss.
  • The expected loss also includes a fair value loss on investment properties.
  • This preliminary profit guidance precedes the full release of unaudited consolidated financial statements for FY2025, expected on or before May 30, 2025.
