An announcement from K & S Corporation Limited ( (AU:KSC) ) is now available.
K & S Corporation Limited reported a slight decline in profits for the half year ending December 2024, with underlying profit before tax at $23.4 million, down 4.1% from the previous year. The company faced challenges such as tight market conditions and high competition in its Australian transport division, while its New Zealand operations remained stable. Despite these challenges, K & S Corporation continues to focus on cost reduction strategies and operational efficiencies. The company’s net debt increased due to investments in property projects, which are expected to enhance earnings. Safety remains a priority, although a prosecution related to a safety incident is underway. An interim dividend of 8.0 cents per share has been declared, reflecting a decrease from the previous year.
