USG’s profit takes a hit in first nine months of 2018

US: USG’s operating profit fell by 30% year-on-year to US$190m in the first nine months of 2018 from US$270m in the same period in 2017. The building materials company blamed this on rising costs in the third quarter, arising from transport costs and non-production costs linked to its Customer-First strategy. Despite this, net sales rose by 6% to US$2.52bn from US$2.37bn.

The company is currently being acquired by Germany’s Knauf. The takeover is expected to complete in early 2019. In its third quarter financial report USG said that Boral had started proceedings in late August 2018 to determine the value of the USG Boral joint venture. This process could lead to Boral exercising its right to purchase USG’s 50% interest in USG Boral.
