LafargeHolcim Ltd. reported lower earnings for the fourth
quarter as sales fell.
The Swiss cement maker's recurring earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization were 1.61 billion Swiss francs
($1.65 billion), compared with CHF1.67 billion a year earlier.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected CHF1.59 billion.
On a like-for-like basis, which accounts for divestments,
recurring Ebitda fell 3.6%.
Net sales fell to CHF6.52 billion, the company said. On a
like-for-like basis, net sales were 4.5% lower.
For the full year, net income was CHF2.07 billion, higher than
the CHF1.57 billion reported in 2018.
LafargeHolcim said it targets net sales growth of 3%-5% in 2020
on a like-for-like basis and anticipates continued market
expansion, though conditions in the Middle East, Africa and China
might be challenging.
To comply with IFRS-16 rules, the company said recurring EBIT
would be its new key performance indicator starting this year. The
cement maker said it expects recurring EBIT growth of at least 7.0%
in 2020.
