2025 first half results

Guy Sidos, the Group’s Chairman and CEO, commented: 

“In a more uncertain geopolitical environment that reduces economic visibility, the Group’s first-half results testify to the resilience of our business model that balances exposure to developed countries and emerging markets. This solidity is reflected by the growth in consolidated net income, improvement in free cash flow and a significant reduction in net debt.

The Group continues to implement its market plan, with the start-up of Kiln 6 in Senegal, a major driver of the Group’s organic growth, development in the construction chemicals business with the merger between VPI and Cermix, and the acquisition of Realmix, which strengthens the Group’s vertical integration in Brazil. On this basis, we are reiterating the Group’s 2025 and 2027 debt reduction targets and are adjusting our 2025 operating profitability guidance to account for the major currency effects.”
