In fiscal 2021, GWA’s revenue increased by 1.8% ਨੂੰ $405.7 ਮਿਲੀਅਨ. EBIT decreased by 4.1% ਨੂੰ $68.5 ਮਿਲੀਅਨ. The announcement noted that strong growth in the New Zealand and U.K. businesses helped support revenue. ਹਾਲਾਂਕਿ, the continued decline in the engineering channel in Australia weakened performance due to the embargo. Renovation and replacement activity in the residential and commercial sectors is expected to drive flat to slightly higher results. The blockade in Sydney and Melbourne may impact its business due to the blockade.

The building materials industry was significantly impacted by the Australian embargo, which restricted construction activity in the states, such as a 30 percent cut in capacity at Brickworks, an Australian brick-making company. In July, the company’s sales plummeted by nearly 80 ਪ੍ਰਤੀਸ਼ਤ.

As the global supply chain is affected by the epidemic, pushing up the cost of building materials, so is Australia. According to global consulting firm Turner & Townsend, steel prices in Sydney have risen by 10 ਪ੍ਰਤੀਸ਼ਤ, rebar prices by 20 ਪ੍ਰਤੀਸ਼ਤ, and timber prices by 25 percent between 2020-2021.
