Sales and Profit Decline: Sika reported a 2.7% decrease in half-year sales to 5.68 billion Swiss francs, primarily due to the weaker dollar affecting earnings when converted to Swiss francs, with core operating profit (EBITDA) also falling short of analyst expectations.
Future Outlook: Despite current challenges, Sika anticipates modest sales growth in local currencies for the full 2025 business year, along with an expected increase in EBITDA margin between 19.5% and 19.8%.
