"Our first-half 2025 performance once again demonstrates the strength of Saint-Gobain's new profile, with growth in sales and earnings despite a certain wait-and-see environment in some markets. Asia and emerging countries continued to drive growth for the Group and Europe reported a further sequential improvement, while North America saw a slight decrease in sales. The integration of our recent acquisitions has enabled us to strengthen the quality of the Group's profitable growth profile and benefit from balanced earnings across three geographic zones.
Our decentralized operating model by country, with no direct exposure to customs tariffs, is key to the Group's ability to withstand external shocks. Our country CEOs now oversee our entire range of solutions to accelerate the Group's growth in each of its channels and end markets.
Despite a still contrasted macroeconomic environment and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, I am confident that 2025 will be another successful year for Saint-Gobain, thanks to our dedicated teams: I applaud their commitment. At our Capital Markets Day on October 6, we will present the Group's new ambitions as worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction, in terms of profitable growth and outperformance as well as value creation for all of our stakeholders."

The Group continues to outperform its markets thanks to the strength of its strategic position as worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction:
Sales were up by 3.4% in local currencies and by 1.7% as reported, at €23.9 billion, reflecting the depreciation in most currencies against the euro in the second quarter (negative 2.8% exchange rate impact). The positive 3.9% impact from changes in Group structure mainly reflects four recent acquisitions strengthening Saint-Gobain's profitable growth profile: CSR in Australia, Bailey in Canada, Cemix in Latin America and FOSROC in India and the Middle East. The optimization of the Group's profile also continued with the effect of divestments, notably the pipe drainage business for buildings (PAM Building).
On a like-for-like basis, sales were down by 0.5%, supported by growth in Asia-Pacific, the Americas and High Performance Solutions, while Europe saw a smaller decrease. With a negative working-day effect of 1% over the first half, volumes were virtually stable at comparable working days (down 1.5% at actual working days), a clear sequential improvement on secondhalf 2024 (down 2.0% at actual working days and down around 3% at comparable working days). Prices were 1.0% higher thanks to disciplined execution in a slightly inflationary cost environment and to the added value that our comprehensive, sustainable and innovative solutions bring to our customers.
Operating income was €2,803 million, up 5.0% in local currencies (negative currency impact of over 3%) to a record high. The operating margin also hit a new record of 11.8% (versus 11.7% in first-half 2024), reflecting the strength of the Group's strategic positioning and its very good operating performance, enabling it to outperform in an environment marked by a certain wait-andsee attitude linked to geopolitical disruptions.


Sales in Europe were down 2.2% over the first half, with volumes down 2.1% based on actual working days and down around 1% at comparable working days, an improvement on second-half 2024 (volumes down 3.1% based on actual working days and down around 4% at comparable working days), as construction markets stabilized or began to recover, depending on the country. The operating margin narrowed only very slightly to 8.5% (from 8.7% in first-half 2024) reflecting the downturn in volumes, but good cost management and price stability over the first half (prices up slightly in the second quarter).
The Region delivered 1.3% organic growth, reflecting a slight contraction in North America and growth in Latin America. The operating margin reached a new record high of 19.7% (19.0% in first-half 2024), supported by rigorous pricing and cost management and despite the decline in volumes.


The Region delivered robust organic growth of 3.9% over the first half, driven by strong momentum in India and South-East Asia, which more than offset the contraction in the Chinese market. The operating margin hit a record high of 13.4% (versus 13.0% in first-half 2024), supported by volumes as well as good pricing and cost management.
India achieved further market share gains, with double-digit volume growth, driven by its comprehensive and innovative range of sustainable solutions. The May launch of India's first lowcarbon plaster certified by an Environmental Product Declaration illustrates the Group's pioneering commitment to improve sustainable building standards in the country. This milestone follows on from the arrival of the first Oraé® low-carbon glass (42% less CO2) on the Asian market in 2024. China was again affected by the slowdown in the new construction market over the first half, but outperformed thanks to renovation. Growth in South-East Asia was led by Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, which benefited from the Group's investments in personalized digital distribution and from the rollout of new product lines. The integration of CSR is progressing well, in terms of both operational performance and the development of complete solutions for the Australian market.
HPS reported like-for-like sales growth of 0.8% over the first half, supported by a good performance from construction businesses and Mobility, despite the decline in other industrial activities. The operating margin narrowed slightly to 12.0% (from 12.3% in first-half 2024) owing to lower volumes.


The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for first-half 2025 were subject to a limited review by the statutory auditors and adopted by the Board of Directors on 31 July 2025.

Calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding (495,096,191 shares in H1 2025, versus 501,808,814 shares in H1 2024).
Recurring net income: net attributable income excluding capital gains and losses on disposals, asset write-downs, amortization of intangible assets related to PPA, IFRS3 acquisition costs and other non-recurring items (material non-recurring provisions, impacts of hyperinflation, etc.). Two items have been removed from recurring net income: hyperinflation (-€23 million in H1 2025 versus -€37 million in H1 2024) and amortization of intangible assets related to PPA (-€146 million in H1 2025 versus -€103 million in H1 2024). Netted of related tax effects and non-controlling interests, the impact amounts to -€132 million in H1 2025 versus -€114 million in H1 2024.
Capital expenditure = Investments in tangible and intangible assets.
Changes in working capital requirement over a rolling 12-month period (see Appendix 4, bottom of "consolidated cash flow statement").
Free cash flow = EBITDA less depreciation of right-of-use assets, plus net financial expense, plus income tax, less capital expenditure excluding additional capacity investments, plus change in working capital requirement over a rolling 12-month period.
Free cash flow conversion ratio = free cash flow divided by EBITDA less depreciation of right-of-use assets.
Investments in securities net of debt acquired: €1,701 million in H1 2025, of which €1,678 million in controlled companies.


EBITDA came in at €3,818 million, a new record high. EBITDA includes non-operating costs of €50 million (€125 million in first-half 2024).
The net balance of capital gains and losses on disposals, asset write-downs and the impact of changes in Group structure represented an expense of €188 million (€164 million expense in firsthalf 2024). It reflects €32 million in asset write-downs essentially relating to site closures and disposals (€35 million in first-half 2024), €146 million in Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) intangible amortization (€103 million in first-half 2024 and €130 million in second-half 2024), and €10 million in disposal losses and other net business expenses (€26 million in first-half 2024).
Net financial expense was €304 million (€215 million in first-half 2024), reflecting the rise in net debt along with lower proceeds from cash investments.
Recurring earnings per share was stable at a record level of €3.63, with recurring net income at €1,797 million. The tax rate on recurring net income was 26%.
Capital expenditure represented €711 million (€583 million in first-half 2024). The Group opened nine new plants and production lines over the half-year period, focused on structurally high-growth regions and construction chemicals.
Free cash flow came in at €2,190 million, with a conversion ratio of 63% reflecting a good level of EBITDA and very good management of operating working capital requirement (WCR), which remained stable year-on-year at 23 days' sales at end-June 2025.
Investments in securities net of debt acquired totaled €1.7 billion (€847 million in first-half 2024), primarily reflecting the acquisitions of FOSROC (India, Middle East) and Cemix (Latin America) in construction chemicals.
The Group carried out further share buybacks for €111 million at end-June and approximately €160 million at end-July (net of offsetting employee share creation). This reduced the number of shares outstanding to around 496 million at end-June 2025 from 499.5 million at end-June 2024.
Net debt was €12.8 billion at end-June 2025, reflecting €4.5 billion of acquisitions over the past 12 months (mainly CSR, FOSROC and Cemix), partly offset by good free cash flow generation. The net debt to EBITDA ratio on a rolling 12-month basis was 1.7 at end-June 2025 (versus 1.4 at end-June 2024).


In 2025 the Group will continue to implement the strategic priorities of its "Grow & Impact" plan:
1) Strong execution of our operating initiatives focused on profitability and free cash flow generation
Following the deepening of our local organization effective July 1 aimed at accelerating growth of our solutions country by country, the Group will now publish its accounts based on four Regions: Northern Europe, Southern Europe – Middle East & Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific. In the second half and for its full-year 2025 results, the Group will publish its accounts based on its new organization and provide equivalent figures based on its existing organization.
In a macroeconomic environment that remains contrasted, Saint-Gobain will once again demonstrate a very strong operating performance in second-half 2025. Assuming no major slowdown in global growth linked to geopolitical uncertainties, the Group expects the following trends:
Saint-Gobain expects an operating margin of more than 11.0% in 2025


An information meeting for analysts and investors will be held at 8:30am (GMT +1) on August 1, 2025 and will be streamed live on Saint-Gobain's website: www.saint-gobain.com
