Sika grew organic revenue by 4.6% in the third quarter, or 6.1% including acquisitions, a deceleration from the second quarter. The company confirmed full-year guidance for 3%-6% sales growth in local currencies and EBITDA margin of 19.0%-19.5%.
Sika’s products exhibit sustainability features, benefiting from several structural growth drivers, such as decarbonizing cement production and renovation activity to improve energy efficiency
Demand is tied to the cyclical construction and automotive sectors, which have led Sika to lower its medium-term revenue targets. A declining Chinese residential market shows no signs of recovering in the short term. Margins are also likely to be affected by higher oil prices.
