The cement industry at a turning point: A path toward value creation

In the cement industry, however, this link is weak. The industry's record of value creation is spotty, with ROIC levels roughly equal to the cost of capital, at around 9 percent. Behind the lackluster ROIC, two drivers stand out: high goodwill (seen in the low tangible capital ratio) and inadequate capital efficiency. Call it bad timing.
