H1 2025 OVERVIEW

H1 2025 IN BRIEF

On a lfl basis, volume rebound in Central and Eastern Europe more than offsetting demand weakness in United States.

Including scope changes, Q2 volumes grew by 24.3% in cement and by 3.4% in rmx.

Net Sales up 6.5%, mainly boosted by changes in the consolidation perimeter (+116m). H1 EBITDA stood at 526m (+30m from scope changes).

At constant perimeter, margins strengthened in Benelux, Poland and Czech Republic, supported by lower energy costs and improved operating leverage. However, higher production costs weighed on margins in US, Germany and Italy.

Albeit the robust cash generation from operation, Net Cash Position diminished by 64m due to recent M&A, FX impact and dividends.

OUTLOOK 2025

OUTLOOK 2025

While recent forecasts point to slightly more optimistic prospects in Europe, the economic conditions that have emerged in the United States in recent months have inevitably raised questions about the resilience of construction activities in the country.

  • USA: full catch up threatened by a more uncertain economic scenario and a prolonged demand slowdown
  • Italy: recent developments in line with demand stabilization
  • Central Europe: slightly better outlook with recovery expected to continue in the second part of the year, albeit at a more moderate pace
    • Eastern Europe: prospects on construction activities remain optimistic in Czech Republic e Poland
    • Brazil: resilient domestic demand evolution to continue
    • Mexico: deceleration of economic growth to cause a construction investments slowdown

This new scenario, along with, to a greater extent, the wide fluctuations in the exchange rates of the US dollar and Brazilian real, has led us to revise our expectations for the current year.

Based on the above considerations and the changes in the scope of consolidation, we now expect to achieve a recurring EBITDA for the full-year 2025 between €1,100 and 1,200 million.
