瑞士Holcim9月净利润上升33%
该公司9月净利润是61,900百万法郎(57,300万美金)。随着全球经济的复苏,公路和住宅建设升温,Holcim的销售额增加了6.6%,达100.2亿。
这些表明价格上升的正面影响远抵消了原材料等价格上升的负面影响。据中国水泥网了解,目前Holcim公司能量消耗占收入的9.2%。1到9月份,公司的营业毛利润增加17.8%,去年是16.5%。
分析家们说,在拉丁美洲、亚洲、非洲和中东地区,Holcim公司比其对手的发展形式更好,也就是说,在未来的几年里Holcim将更多地受益于这些地区建筑的兴起。
据中国水泥网了解,除德国之外,欧洲其它地区建筑行业兴旺,水泥需求增长超过了历史记录,Holcim公司的水泥、预搅拌混凝土和集料的运送量都大量上升。(中国水泥网 转载请注明出处)

Holcim 9-month profit rises 33 pct
Holcim's nine-month net profit rose by a third as firming cement prices and solid demand outweighed the effects of higher energy costs on the world's second-biggest cement maker, underpinning its upbeat outlook.
The Swiss group said on it expected to clearly exceed its target of 8 percent internal growth for operating profit this year and forecast "substantially stronger results", helped by an improved market environment in North America.
Nine-month net profit rose 33.4 percent to 691 million francs ($573 million), at the higher end of expectations and helped by the full takeover of Mexican unit Apasco this year.
Sales grew 6.6 percent to 10.02 billion as house and road construction picked up on the back of a global economic rebound.
"The results shows that the positive impact from price increases more than offsets the negative impact from rising raw material and energy prices," Bank Leu said in a note.
Energy costs currently eat up around 9.2 percent of Holcim's revenues, CEO Akermann said.
POSITIVE OUTLOOK
Its operating profit margin grew to 17.8 percent in the first nine months, compared with 16.5 percent last year.
Analysts say Holcim is better positioned than its rivals in the growth markets of Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and that it is set to benefit from an increase in construction activity in the next few years.
Deliveries rose in all of Holcim's three segments -- cement, ready-mixed concrete and aggregates -- with Europe recording the strongest cement growth rates as building activity strengthened on the continent, with the exception of Germany. Cement demand also remained solid in North America.
