SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mainboard-listed International Cement Group Ltd.

* EBITDA is defined as profit before tax, net foreign exchange gains/losses, net fair value gains/losses, interest income/expense,impairment losses, depreciation and amortisation expenses
Mr Zhang Zengtao, Chief Executive Officer of ICG, said: “Our strong first-half results reflect the continued success of our expansion strategy and the resilience of our operations across Central Asia. With the Korcem plant now fully operational, we are well-positioned to meet rising infrastructure demand in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, while maintaining our focus on cost efficiency and long-term value creation for shareholders.”
The Group reported a significant revenue increase of S$55.5 million, bringing total revenue to S$165.1 million in 1H2025, up from S$109.6 million in 1H2024. This growth was mainly driven by higher sales from the Kazakhstan operations, supported by contributions from the new Korcem cement plant, which has been in operation for six months, and sustained demand for Alacem cement plant. In Tajikistan, sales volume from the Mohir cement plant rose by 36% period-on-period due to improved weather conditions.
Gross profit margin improved to 36%, up from 31% in 1H2024. This was driven by increased selling prices and strong demand for both Alacem and Korcem cement plants in Kazakhstan. The robust market appetite was underpinned by rising Chinese infrastructure investment and close collaboration between cement producers and the government of Kazakhstan on national development projects.
Administrative expenses rose by S$3.1 million, reflecting higher staff costs, overheads, and depreciation following the commencement of operations at the Korcem cement plant. Selling and distribution expenses increased modestly by S$0.2 million following higher sales volumes.
Other expenses declined by S$4.3 million, mainly due to the absence of net foreign exchange losses recorded in the prior period. Conversely, other income rose sharply from S$1.0 million to S$5.2 million, primarily reflecting net foreign exchange gains. The Group recorded a net positive foreign exchange movement of S$10.5 million, driven by the slight appreciation of the Kazakhstani Tenge against the US Dollar and Chinese Yuan.
The Group’s adjusted EBITDA rose to S$45.9 million in 1H2025 from S$23.4 million in 1H2024. The Group’s net profit attributable to shareholders surged to S$14.9 million in 1H2025, up from S$0.9 million in 1H2024, driven by stronger operational performance and improved foreign exchange conditions.
Basic and diluted earnings per share rose to 0.26 Singapore cents, compared to 0.02 cents in the previous period.
Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to S$40.1 million in 1H2025 compared to S$20.9 million in 1H2024, reflecting the improved financial performance. Cash and cash equivalents increased from S$5.7 million as of 31 December 2024 to S$9.9 million as of 30 June 2025, mainly due to operating cash flows and an additional S$2.5 million secured revolving credit facility.
As of 30 June 2025, the Group’s net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share stood at 4.30 Singapore cents, up from 4.14 cents as of 31 December 2024.
Outlook
ICG is well-positioned to benefit from sustained infrastructure-driven demand in Central Asia, underpinned by positive economic outlooks in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. The Korcem cement plant, which commenced operations in late 2024, delivered strong sales in 1H2025 and its momentum, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is expected to continue for the rest of the year, with exports to Kyrgyzstan already underway.
In Tajikistan, while increased competition has impacted cement volumes, ICG is actively defending its market position through targeted distributor incentives and sales promotions. Meanwhile, the Group is progressively scaling down its non-core aluminium operations to focus resources on its core cement business, in line with its long-term growth strategy.

This press release is to be read in conjunction with the Company’s announcement posted on the SGX website on 12 August 2025.

WUHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2025 – The symposium titled “Green Foundations for a Hub City” was held in Wuhan on August 6, 2025. It focused on Wuhan’s environmental efforts, particularly the integration and conservation of its abundant rivers and lakes.
Speedboat on East Lake, like being at sea.
Ramsar Convention Deputy Secretary-General Jay Alders, speaking at the symposium, highlighted Wuhan’s wetland conservation achievements, calling its integration of 165 rivers and 166 lakes a global benchmark. The event showcased both expert discussions inside the conference hall and vivid scenes outside, such as summer floods turning East Lake’s beaches silver and volleyball tournaments by the water, alongside submerged forests at Zhangdu Lake, reflecting the city’s deep connection to its watery environment. This setting emphasizes that in Wuhan, preserving wetlands is more than policy—it is part of embracing an oceanic spirit.
Wuhan, a city of rivers and lakes, offers a surprising encounter with the sea—right in the heart of central China. Here, it’s easy to sense the vastness of the ocean. Whether it’s rivers merging into summer-swollen inland seas, reed-filled wetlands ripping like emerald tides, golden silica beaches evoking coastal shores, or high-rise skylines like waves on the horizon, Wuhan delivers a marine-like expanse that stirs the soul. With 165 rivers and 166 lakes, water covers a full quarter of the city’s land area. This aquatic tapestry creates a sense of scale and openness that is rare for an inland urban center.

In summer, rising water levels stretch the surfaces of rivers and lakes even wider. When blue skies meet these shimmering waters, Wuhan unveils views rivalling Mediterranean seascapes—particularly at East Lake Beach, where imported sands host volleyball tournaments under coconut palms, and Moonlight Bay, where floating tiki bars serve lychee-coconut cocktails at sunset.
For Wuhan locals, “river-lake-sea” is part of their daily life. Sandy beaches, open-air bathing areas, sailing boats—you’ll find all the coastal experiences here, just without the coastline.
French traveler Élise Dubois captures the magic: “Kayaking through Zhangdu Lake’s flooded forests—fireflies dancing in jade-green canals—felt like discovering Atlantis in China’s heartland.” This is Wuhan’s paradox: a metropolis where cranes silhouette against wetland sunsets, and ferry horns sing sailors’ lullabies.
Come to Wuhan, and feel the sea—in a city shaped by water, deep in China’s heartland.
