Boral Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the first half of fiscal 2012. As foreshadowed at the 2011 AGM, the Group expects first half results to be similar to the results for the second half of fiscal year 2011, after adjusting for property earnings which are all expected to arise in the second half of the year and the impact of the closure of the Galong lime plant in Cement. This produces an expected Group Profit After Tax range of $65 - $70 million, before significant items.
