Germany: HeidelbergCement's core profit rose by 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014 thanks to strong demand in the US and Asia. HeidelbergCement said that the weak Euro and the mild winter in Europe had also contributed to the profit increase. Operating income before depreciation (OIBD) increased to Euro625m in the three months to 31 December 2014. Revenue grew by 6.4% to Euro3.31bn. HeidelbergCement expressed optimism in view of the economic growth forecasts, but warned of geopolitical and monetary policy risks, which are difficult to estimate.
