News HeidelbergCement lifted by recovering UK and North American markets

HeidelbergCement lifted by recovering UK and North American markets

Germany: HeidelbergCement has reported a double-digit rise in revenue and earnings as its sales volumes of building materials benefited from a continued market recovery in North America and the UK, offsetting concerns about weakness in Indonesia, according to Dow Jones.

Its net profit for the second quarter of 2015, which ended on 30 June 2015, rose by 16% year-on-year to Euro271m, while its operating income before depreciation grew by 15% to Euro752m. HeidelbergCement's revenue jumped by 10% to Euro3.64bn, fed by the weak Euro and low fuel costs. Excluding currency and consolidation effects, its revenue increased 0.4%.

"The sustained recovery in our mature markets, particularly in the UK and the US, has made a significant contribution," said CEO Bernd Scheifele. However, a delayed start of infrastructure projects in Indonesia, HeidelbergCement's key market in Asia, led to a decline in sales volume in the Asia-Pacific region.

On 28 July 2015, HeidelbergCement announced plans to take a 45% stake in Italy's Italcementi for Euro1.67bn. To reflect the positive impact of the deal, HeidelbergCement raised its mid-term targets. It now aims to generate more than Euro20bn in revenue by 2019, compared with the Euro17bn it had previously forecast, alongside an operating earnings of more than Euro5bn, compared with the Euro4bn it had previously forecast. For the entirety of 2015, HeidelbergCement has confirmed its guidance of a significant increase in revenue, operating income and profit.
