European and North American market improvement aids HeidelbergCement

Germany: Better weather in Europe and North America has benefitted HeidelbergCement’s first quarter results. Its sales revenue rose by 16.9% year-on-year to Euro4.24bn in the first quarter of 2019 from Euro3.63bn in the same period in 2018. Its operating earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 58.6% to Euro396m from Euro250m. Cement sales volumes increased by 1.6% to 28.6Mt from 28.1Mt. Ready-mixed concrete sales volumes increased by 10.8% to 11.3Mm3 from 10.2Mm3.

“We have achieved a considerable increase in revenue and result from current operations in comparison with the same quarter of the previous year. In addition to improved weather conditions, sustained strong demand and successful price increases contributed towards this positive development,” said Bernd Scheifele, chairman of the managing board of HeidelbergCement.

The group’s Asia-Pacific region reported ‘sluggish’ sales in India and Thailand. Its cement and clinker sales fell by 1.7% to 9Mt although it managed to increase its revenue through price rises. Cement and clinker sales volumes also fell in its Africa-Eastern Mediterranean Basin region due to increased competition in Egypt.
