Italy: Cementir Holding recorded cement and clinker sales of 11.0Mt in 2025, up by 3% year-on-year, with growth in the Asia Pacific region, Egypt and Türkiye offsetting declines in the Nordic & Baltic region and Belgium. Group revenue was €1.64bn, broadly stable year-on-year, while earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 15% to €460m and profit before tax rose by 10% to €325m. Net profit reached €246m. The company said that exchange rate movements, particularly the devaluation of the Turkish Lira, reduced sales by around €97m.
For 2026, Cementir Holding expects sales of approximately €1.70bn, mainly supported by price increases in line with inflation and by a slight recovery in volumes in the second part of 2025, with the exception of China and Türkiye. EBITDA is expected to be between €400-420m. The company plans investments of approximately €128m, including €32m for sustainability projects.
Chair and CEO Francesco Caltagirone Jr said “2025 was a year of consolidation for our group. We optimised our industrial footprint and delivered higher profitability and return on capital, despite results being affected by the strengthening of the Euro against all reference currencies, and in particular against the Turkish Lira. We are prepared to face the next three years with a strengthened industrial base and a very solid financial position, enabling us to look at future challenges with renewed confidence.”
