Holcim reports a 4.8% decline in revenue to 3.52 billion Swiss francs in the first quarter and an 11.2% lower recurring operating profit of 431 million Swiss francs, weighed down by a severe winter, currency effects and divestments of country businesses. On an organic basis the company grew 3.9% and organic EBIT rose 8.3% thanks to strict cost discipline and stronger demand for premium and sustainable products. The North America business is no longer included in the figures, and Holcim sticks to its 2026 targets: revenue growth of 3–5%, organic EBIT up 8–10% and free cash flow of around 2 billion Swiss francs. » Más en finanzen.net
