Executive summary
Achieved 1.1% sales growth in local currencies for the first nine months, despite a double-digit decline in China's construction market and a -4.9% FX impact from a weaker US dollar.
Organic growth was flat year-to-date, with acquisitions contributing 1.1% to growth; excluding China, organic growth was 1.7%.
Five acquisitions and seven new factories strengthened the market position; MBCC integration completed with synergy realization on track.
Launched the Fast Forward investment and efficiency program, targeting CHF 150–200 million in annual savings by 2028, with significant restructuring in China and up to 1,500 job reductions.
Fast Forward program includes CHF 120–150 million in investments and CHF 80–100 million in one-off costs, focusing on digital acceleration and operational excellence.
Financial highlights
Net sales declined 3.8% to CHF 8,578.1 million, mainly due to FX impact.
Gross margin increased to 55.0% (up 30 bps YoY), driven by MBCC synergies and operational efficiencies.
EBITDA margin rose to 19.2% (up 10 bps YoY), but absolute EBITDA fell 3.3% to CHF 1.645 billion due to FX effects.
EBIT margin decreased to 14.4%; net profit margin declined to 10.1–10.2% of sales, with net profit at CHF 870.9 million.
Operating free cash flow was CHF 630 million, down 25.9% year-over-year, mainly due to FX and higher working capital.
Outlook and guidance
2025 outlook: modest net sales increase in local currency and EBITDA margin of ~19%, including one-off Fast Forward costs.
Medium-term (2026): EBITDA margin guidance of 20%+; 2026–2028 net sales growth expected at 3–6% in local currency.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
