Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Nov 08, 2018
|% Change Since: -9.93%
|Next Earnings Date:Aug 16, 2018
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted Wienerberger's strategic resilience and effective management amidst challenging market conditions, with successful integration of acquisitions and decarbonization efforts. However, market challenges, particularly in Europe, and operational setbacks due to weather in the U.S. were significant concerns. Despite these, the outlook remains positive with expectations for improved capacity utilization and pricing in 2025.Company Guidance
During the Q3 2024 earnings call, Wienerberger provided guidance that indicated a challenging yet strategically managed year. The company reported a flat revenue compared to the previous year, but an EBITDA margin of approximately 18% was achieved, despite significant standstill costs related to low capacity utilization of about 60-65% in their Ceramic business. The Terreal acquisition contributed EUR 56 million to the EBITDA in the first nine months, although this was slightly lower than anticipated due to subdued markets in Germany and France. Wienerberger's focus on cash management yielded a notable improvement in free cash flow, with a nearly EUR 200 million increase compared to the previous year. Looking ahead, the company anticipates ending the year with an EBITDA between EUR 750 million to EUR 770 million, and it expects further growth in 2025, with the potential for EBITDA to exceed EUR 800 million, driven by volume recovery and ongoing cost optimizations. Additionally, the company has implemented cost-saving measures expected to yield approximately EUR 100 million this year, with further benefits anticipated in the following year. Pricing strategies are being adjusted to cover projected cost inflation of 3-3.5% in 2025, with price increases already being communicated to the market.Successful Integration of Terreal
