It now expects net profit to be between $100 million and $110 million, down from the previously downgraded guidance of $128 million to $153 million.
Interim CEO Ross Batstone said in a statement “a number of recent events have come together to weaken Boral’s trading performance in the fourth quarter which add to the impact of ongoing weakness in the Australian new housing construction market.”
Boral also noted that the business continues to operate comfortably within its Banking covenants.
