MACAU, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nature Wood Group Limited ("Nature Wood" or the "Company"), a global leader in vertically-integrated forestry and FSC business operations, today provides an update on its financial performance for the first half of 2023, ending June 30, 2023.

In light of the challenging global economic conditions that have significantly impacted the home building and home renovation sectors, Nature Wood anticipates that its financial results for the first half of 2023 will be lower as compared to the first half of  the previous year, in terms of both revenues and earnings. This forecast reflects the broader economic trends that have affected industries worldwide, particularly those related to construction and home improvement.

Nature Wood will provide a detailed analysis and more comprehensive information when it reports its full first-half results in mid-December 2023.

Despite these short-term challenges, Nature Wood remains committed to its long-term strategy and is confident in its ability to navigate through these turbulent times. The Company continues to focus on operational efficiency, sustainable practices, and exploring new markets to strengthen its position as a leading player in the forestry and wood products industry.
