CHAIRPERSON’S STATEMENT
Introduction
Tanga Cement Public Limited Company (Tanga Cement Plc) remains amongst the leading suppliers of cement in Tanzania and we are proud of our contribution towards the development of Tanzania, but more importantly the lives of the Tanzanian people we are able to touch and enhance due to our business activities.
The Management of Tanzania Cigarette Company Ltd is pleased to report
half year results to June 30, 2015.
Year to date performance
Our top line grew 10% to TZS 246bn (June 30, 2014: TZS 224bn) driven by
volume and pricing. Net profit however declined 4% to TZS 34bn (June 30,
2014: TZS 35bn) due to: the sharp depreciation of the Tanzanian Shilling;
the carry-over impact of the 25% excise tax increase in July 2014 and; a
one-off TZS 5bn restructuring cost of our Export Division.
