In April, the company’s carbon steel sales volume totaled 695,654 mt, while in the January-April period its carbon steel sales volume amounted to 2.54 million mt.
In the first four months, CSC’s operating revenues amounted to NTD 110.05 billion ($3.50 billion), decreasing by three percent year on year, while it recorded an operating loss at NTD 1.91 billion ($60.79 million), compared to an operating profit of NTD 1.13 billion recorded in the same period last year.
