Brickworks profit triples but kiln costs running hot on gas crunch
Despite building material manufacturer Brickworks (ASX: BKW) announcing a record underlying profit of $746 million for FY22, the company flagged it will face softer demand in the second half as rising interest rates impact the housing industry.
The group’s revenue grew to $1.09 billion year-on-year, reflecting an increase of 28 per cent. This was primarily driven by an uplift in the company’s North American brickmaker division, where revenue almost doubled to $399 million.
Meanwhile, the Building Products Australia segment recorded $694 million in revenue and an underlying EBITDA of $205 million – which includes an $89 million profit associated with the sale of properties into the Brickworks Manufacturing Trust.
