The French building materials group Saint Gobain suffered from weakness in some markets last year.
Sales fell by 0.2 percent to just under 46.5 billion euros compared to the previous year, Saint-Gobain announced on Thursday evening. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) remained flat at 7.2 billion euros.
The operating result fell by 0.2 percent to 5.3 billion euros. The operating margin was stable at 11.4 percent. The results were roughly in line with analysts’ expectations.
The bottom line is that in 2025 there was an increase in profits of 1.4 percent to 2.9 billion euros. Here, experts expected a little more on average. The dividend is expected to increase by ten cents to 2.30 euros per share.
The group expects an Ebitda margin of more than 15 percent for 2026.
