News Vicat’s sales up by 1.9% in the first nine months of 2015

Vicat’s sales up by 1.9% in the first nine months of 2015

France: Vicat's sales in the first nine months of 2015 grew by 1.9% year-on-year to Euro1.88bn. In the third quarter of 2015, its sales grew by 1.7% to Euro640m on a reported basis and declined by 3.7% at constant scope and exchange rates. Vicat reported robust business trends in the US, activity growth in Asia underpinned by Turkey and India, a reduced down-trend in France and lower activity in West Africa and the Middle East.

"Vicat's third-quarter performance still reflects a contrasting picture from one region to another, but there were signs of improvement in certain markets," said Vicat's Chairman and CEO. "Strong increases were recorded in the US and Turkey, while volumes in India returned to growth in a still favourable pricing environment, and, lastly, our production unit in Kazakhstan ran at full capacity in a market nevertheless affected by a strong currency devaluation. In France, the shortfall compared with 2014 declined significantly in the cement business over the past quarter and the market currently appears to be gradually stabilising at an historically low level for French cement consumption. Against this backdrop, Vicat remains focused on its objectives of maximising its cash flow and reducing its debt, while leveraging the efficiency of its manufacturing facilities, its geographical diversification and its strong positions in its local markets."
