Meeting on Friday, April 24, 2026, the Board of Directors of Carthage Cement approved the financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year and decided to propose a dividend of 0.065 dinars per share, a first in the group’s history.
The cement company reported a net profit of 40.1 million dinars as of December 31, 2025, down from 70.2 million dinars a year earlier. Total balance sheet assets stood at 892.7 million dinars, up from 873.5 million recorded at the end of 2024.
2025 revenue declines under local pressure
The 2025 fiscal year closed with revenue of 382.8 million dinars, compared with 421.6 million dinars in 2024, marking a 9.2% decrease.
This contraction is largely explained by a sharp 19% drop in sales volumes on the local market, a significant decline that directly weighed on the company’s overall performance.
In response, Carthage Cement turned to foreign markets. Export volumes surged by 73%, partially offsetting the impact of weakening demand in Tunisia.
First-ever dividend sends strong signal to shareholders
Despite the challenging environment, the Board of Directors chose to open a new chapter by proposing a dividend of 0.065 dinars per share for 2025.
The proposal will be put to a shareholder vote at the Ordinary General Assembly scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
The inaugural dividend comes even as profits are declining, reflecting the company’s intent to reward its shareholders.
