what happened
Swiss company Sika said in an ad hoc announcement under SIX rules, distributed by GlobeNewswire, that its nine-month sales rose 4.8% in local currencies. In Swiss francs, reported sales reached CHF 8.71 billion, up 1.6%, with a currency effect of -3.2%. EBITDA grew 1.9% to CHF 1.68 billion, the EBITDA margin was 19.2%, and net profit came in at CHF 887.8 million.
By region, sales in EMEA rose 8.3% in local currencies and in the Americas 4.1%, while Asia/Pacific fell 2.3% because of weakness in Chinese construction. Sika reiterated its full-year guidance of 3% to 6% local-currency growth and an EBITDA margin of 19.0% to 19.5%.
why it matters
The report matters for the construction sector and for investors in European industrial companies. It shows share gains in a muted demand environment, and keeping guidance unchanged suggests no expected surprises. China's decline remains the main regional risk.
