16/03/2026 07:11

Overview

UK lime and minerals group's 2025 revenue rose 4%, meeting analyst expectations

Underlying EPS increased 26% as cost discipline and synergies offset lower volumes

Company completed synergy programme ahead of schedule and reduced leverage to 1.8x

Outlook

SigmaRoc expects 2026 to benefit from structural trends in European lime and limestone markets

Extreme winter conditions slowed construction in Poland and Belgium, but sector activity has since recovered

German stimulus and tariffs expected to support industrial and steel demand, with recovery from H2

Result Drivers

SYNERGY EXECUTION - Accelerated delivery of €40m recurring synergies from CRH Lime Acquisitions offset £17m of volume-related EBITDA loss and lifted group profitability

COST DISCIPLINE - Margin expansion and improved profitability driven by strong cost control and self-help initiatives across regions

VOLUME REDUCTION - Overall sales volumes declined due to softer construction and steel markets and deliberate exit from lower-margin and non-core business
