Sika<\/a> has announced its preliminary annual results for 2025. According to a statement<\/a>, the company expects sales of CHF 11.2 billion for 2025, which corresponds to sales growth of 0.6 per cent in local currencies. Sales in Swiss francs declined by 4.8 per cent, with the foreign currency effect amounting to 5.4 per cent.<\/p>\n Organic growth amounted to -0.4 per cent. Business in the Middle East and Africa performed particularly well, with double-digit growth. In the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa), sales grew by 2.2 per cent overall. Sika also grew by 2.2 per cent in the Americas region, despite the negative impact of the US government shutdown in the fourth quarter. In the Asia\/Pacific region, however, sales fell by 5.2 per cent, mainly due to a double-digit decline in the Chinese construction business. Excluding China, the region recorded positive growth.<\/p>\n “Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, we achieved moderate growth in 2025 and further strengthened our market position,” CEO Thomas Hasler is quoted as saying in the announcement. The company is starting the new year “with a leaner cost structure and a clear investment roadmap to accelerate innovation<\/span> and digitalisation”.<\/p>\n Central to the coming years is the Fast Forward efficiency and investment programme, with which Sika is optimising production networks and organisational structures. Despite one-off programme costs of around CHF 90 million, the company expects an EBITDA margin of slightly above 19 per cent for 2025.<\/p>\n Barbara Frei and Lukas Gähwiler are to be newly elected to the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting on 24 March 2026. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sika AG, a company active in the specialty chemicals sector, achieved preliminary sales of CHF 11.2 billion in the 2025 financial year.
