Poulina Group Holding finalizes strategic stake acquisition in JM Holding
Poulina Group Holding (PGH) announced to its shareholders and the public the completion of its strategic acquisition, following the acceptance of its offer to acquire 45.48% of JM Holding's capital, a stake previously held by Olea Holding. As a reminder, JM Holding is the main shareholder in the Société d'Articles Hygiéniques (SAH), holding 65.73% of its capital. The transaction was carried out between Partner Investment, a PGH subsidiary, and Olea Holding Limited. All preconditions for the deal have been fully met, including institutional approvals, audit completion, contract signing, and regulatory authorizations. The JM Holding share price was indexed based on a valuation of SAH shares at 12 Tunisian dinars per share, with the transaction set to close on July 7, 2025. This indirect stake in SAH, equivalent to 29.9% of its capital, aligns with PGH's targeted investment and business diversification strategy, focusing on high-potential sectors. The deal also marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between the two groups to create lasting industrial, logistical, and commercial synergies. The transaction was facilitated by MAC SA, a leading financial advisor whose support was instrumental in the successful conclusion of negotiations. Following the deal, Mrs. Jalila Mezni and Mr. Mounir El Jaiez remain the majority shareholders of JM Holding, which continues to be the main shareholder of SAH. Both reaffirm their commitment to advancing SAH's ambitions and growing the Lilas brand.

Tunisia: Les Ciments de Bizerte records historic loss of 45 million dinars in 2024
The company has published its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024, pending approval by the Annual General Meeting. The figures confirm a challenging year for the company, with activity well below normal production capacity and a concerning financial situation. The cement plant experienced significant under-activity in 2024, resulting in production costs of 22.9 million dinars and inventory costs of 443,746 dinars. This underperformance was mainly due to the stoppage of clinker production, an essential raw material in cement manufacture, throughout the year. The consequences of this were swift: the cement manufacturer's sales collapsed to 27.8 million dinars, compared with 91.3 million dinars in 2023, down over 69%. Consequently, the gross margin suffered, recording a deficit of 4.6 million dinars, down from an already negative margin of 2.6 million dinars in 2023. In an attempt to maintain a presence on the local market and partially meet demand, the company purchased 114,128 tons of clinker in 2024. However, these supplies did not compensate for the cessation of production, leaving the company unable to fulfill all its commitments. Despite a slight decrease in financial expenses to 11.2 million dinars in 2024 compared to 14.1 million in 2023, Les Ciments de Bizerte recorded an all-time high net loss of 44.8 million dinars compared to a deficit of 34.3 million the previous year.
