Holcim saves on outgoings but India weighs first half down

摘要

Switzerland: Swiss multinational cement producer Holcim has seen a rise in its net income and cash flow in the first half of 2013 with increased operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in Latin America and Europe. However, the group said that it saw lower sales volumes in India, which affected its results badly. Despite this, it said that its EBITDA growth and operating profit were in line with its outlook for 2013.
