In a recently released announcement, the company notified that its second-half earnings will be affected due to the slowing construction environment throughout Australia. Also, the company mentioned that its reduced second-half earnings will contribute little to the full year result. The company informed that there were significant delays in contracted project work, a greater than expected fall in demand from retail partners and increased product costs flowing from the continuing decline in the AUD.
The costs associated with planning for the companyâs expanded contracting activities continued during the second half, which although ensures that the company is well placed to deliver on the healthy pipeline of committed projects. However, the benefits from the work will not be realised until the new financial year due to the widespread construction delays during the past three months.
