Outlook 2014 - Conclusions
Trang 31© 2014 Holcim Ltd
• Holcim expects cement volumes to increase in all Group regions
• Aggregates volumes expected to remain flat overall as increases in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Africa Middle East are offset
by negative volumes in Latin America
• Ready-mix concrete volumes also expected to increase in most
regions with the exception of Europe and Latin America
• Holcim expects that organic growth in operating profit can be
achieved in 2014
• The ongoing focus on the cost base coupled with all the benefits
expected from the Holcim Leadership Journey will lead to a further expansion in operating margins
Outlook for 2014
Canadian fixed-income investor update, 2014-05-26 31
Trang 32© 2014 Holcim Ltd
• Cement consumption growth driven by emerging markets and
recovery in Europe and US
• Holcim with current footprint well positioned to address growth in
cement demand without adding any significant new capacities
• The proposed merger with Lafarge will add significant value for all stakeholders
• The unmatched global footprint of the combination between Holcim and Lafarge will lead to less additional capital for expansion and
therefore even more attractive returns to shareholders
• The ongoing focus on the cost base coupled with all the benefits
expected from the Holcim Leadership Journey will lead to a further expansion in operating margins in 2014 and beyond
