Holcim produces solid results despite the difficult economic environment and a strong increase in energy prices.
August 21, 2008 -
Development on a like-for-like basis*:
- Cement deliveries increased by 3 percent and ready-mix concrete volumes grew by 9.9 percent; sales of aggregates fell by 6.9 percent
- Net sales appreciated by 8.2 percent
- Operating EBITDA decreased by 0.9 percent
- Adjusted to a non-recurring capital gain and special dividend of CHF 1.3 billion in 2007, net income attributable to equity holders of Holcim Ltd increased by
2.6 percent
- Holcim expects in 2008 to match its excellent previous-year result on a like-for-like basis on the level of operating EBITDA
* The scope of consolidation has undergone substantial changes. Holcim South Africa and Egyptian Cement are no more included in the result for the first half of 2008. Another factor which has negatively impacted earnings is the strength of the Swiss franc. The changes in the scope of consolidation and currency translation effects need to be factored out of any comparisons with the corresponding period of the previous year.

The Group has achieved further organic growth. But the strong Swiss franc and expensive energy are having an impact.
May 06, 2008 -
- Group companies in South Africa and Egypt dropped out of the scope of consolidation; only like-for-like comparisons are meaningful
- Like-for-like cement and ready-mix concrete sales volumes increased by 4 percent and 11.7 percent respectively; aggregates sales reduced by 5.5 percent
- Like-for-like net sales appreciated by 7.4 percent
- Like-for-like operating EBITDA improved by 0.6 percent
- Net income attributable to equity holders of Holcim Ltd rose by 3.9 percent to CHF 370 million
- Internal operating EBITDA growth target for the full year 2008 remains unchanged
