Capral Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ending 31 December 2018. For the period, the company's Statutory and Trading EBITDA was expected to be broadly in line with 2017. In recent months, volumes and margins have been adversely impacted by a spike in low- priced imports due to sustained high levels of aluminium input costs (LME), and a slowing housing market. As a result, the 2018 full year earnings result is now expected to be lower than 2017. Capral anticipates that the expected Statutory and Trading EBITDA range for 2018 will now be between $13 million and $14 million.
