Gross profit at the company 68%-owned by United Cement Group was UZS 809.8bn versus UZS 638.1bn in 2022.

Long-term bank loans decreased by 70.9% y/y to UZS 45.9 bn.

Production in January 2022, however, created a low base as in that month many companies were not operating at full capacity due to severely cold weather and power cuts.
