Holcim Group Services Ltd / Key word(s): Annual Results
Performance overview
“During 2024, we further expanded our industry-leading EBIT margin to 19.1% driven by our differentiated value strategy. Our advanced branded solutions meeting our customers’ most ambitious needs, from ECOPact and ECOPlanet to Elevate, grew to 36% of total net sales. Decarbonization and circular construction continued to drive profitable growth, with a 20% rise in recycled construction demolition materials to above 10 million tons. We continued our momentum in value-accretive M&A, closing 27 transactions to grow in the most attractive markets. “Consistently delivering superior shareholder value, we completed a CHF 1 billion share buyback and the Board has proposed a double-digit dividend increase to a record CHF 3.10 per share. “The next step in our growth and value creation is on track, with the planned listing of our North American business expected to occur by the end of H1 2025. With a strong outlook across all business segments, we are well positioned for 2025. I am confident we will deliver another year of profitable growth.” Delivering record results In the fourth quarter, recurring EBIT rose 9.9% in local currency compared to the prior-year period to reach a record CHF 1,165 million. Fourth-quarter net sales of CHF 6,473 million rose 1.6% in local currency versus the fourth quarter of 2023. Full-year net sales of CHF 26,407 million for 2024 were up 1.3% in local currency compared to the prior year. Recurring EBIT reached a record CHF 5,049 million for 2024, up 10.8% in local currency compared to the prior year. Holcim’s performance more than offset strong foreign exchange effects, with full-year recurring EBIT up 6.1% in Swiss franc versus the prior-year period. Free cash flow after leases for the full year rose 2.6% to reach a record CHF 3,801 million, with a cash conversion ratio of 57%.
With its differentiated value strategy, Holcim further expanded its industry-leading recurring EBIT margin by 150 basis points to a record 19.1% in 2024. Holcim’s multi-billion advanced branded solutions, from ECOPact and ECOPlanet to Elevate, increased to 36% of total net sales in 2024, up from 30% in 2023. ECOPact reached 29% of ready-mix concrete net sales by the end of the year, Decarbonization and circular construction drove profitable growth, with a 20% rise in recycled construction demolition materials to 10.2 million tons, with Holcim achieving its 2025 target of Portfolio optimization through value-accretive M&A continued in 2024, with 27 transactions to focus on the most attractive markets. Holcim closed five additional bolt-ons in the fourth-quarter, with an acquisition in Bulgaria, Croatia and France, as well as two acquisitions in Switzerland. For the full year, Holcim continued to expand in Solutions & Products, acquiring OX Engineered Products, a U.S. leader in advanced insulation systems for commercial and residential applications. Growing across attractive markets, Holcim’s acquisitions included four in Latin America, and four in the fast-growing circular construction market in Europe. Driving superior shareholder value Since 2018, Holcim has made seven transformative acquisitions in Solutions & Products and 93 value-accretive bolt-on acquisitions, while investing CHF 4 billion in growth CAPEX. During the same period, Holcim has completed CHF 3 billion in share buyback programs and returned CHF 8 billion to shareholders via progressive dividends. This capital allocation for growth and shareholder returns is made possible by Holcim’s strong balance sheet with its investment grade credit ratings of BBB+ and Baa1. In light of the company’s record 2024 financial performance and confidence in the future, the Board of Directors proposes a 11% increase in dividend to CHF 3.10 per registered share. Planned listing of North American business on track to occur by end of H1 Holcim is on track to unlock new value for all stakeholders with the planned full capital market separation of its North American business, to be named Amrize, planned by way of a 100% spin-off. Amrize has publicly filed its Form 10 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (link to media release). Holcim’s Board of Directors appointed Jan Jenisch as designated Chairman and CEO of Amrize and 9 designated independent directors to Amrize’s Board. Amrize is to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange with an additional listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Amrize plans to comply with SEC rules applicable to US domestic issuers, reporting in U.S. GAAP and seeking inclusion in relevant U.S. equity indices. Holcim plans to host an Investor Day for Amrize on 25 March 2025 in New York City and for Holcim on 28 March 2025 in Zurich. At these two dedicated events, investors will have the opportunity to learn more about both companies’ distinct strategies, capital structures, capital allocation priorities and financial targets.
