Sika AG (SXYAY) Q2 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Sika AG is a multinational specialty chemical company with over 110 years of history and operations in over 100 countries. The company is known for its stability and high-quality products, but its stock is trading at a premium compared to other chemical businesses. Sika benefits from global megatrends, such as the repair and refurbishment of older buildings and expansion into emerging markets like Southeast Asia.

Sika: Not As Great As Some Believe, But Quality And A 'Buy'

Despite challenging economic conditions, Sika ended the first quarter of 2023 with a slight growth. Sales in local currencies and organic growth both increased by 1.2%. In Swiss franc terms, Sika posted sales of CHF 2,325.9 million. Compared with the strong prior-year period and due to the stronger Swiss franc, the sales development in CHF amounted to -3.0%. This figure includes a currency effect of -4.2%. The more dynamic markets in the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions offset the weaker performance in Europe. Growth in Global Business clearly outstripped the market, and was once again in double digits. Sika achieved a substantial increase in the material margin in the first quarter, marking an important step on the road to material margin recovery.

2023 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SIKA AG

Sika AG is a specialty chemicals company focusing on products for the construction industry. The industry is certainly cyclical, but expansions in emerging and developing markets, plus boosted global infrastructure spending, provide secular growth.

Sika AG: Leveraging Global Expansion

Sika takes another step toward closing the MBCC acquisition. With valuations de-rated across the industry, the focus on inorganic growth makes sense.

Sika AG: Through-Cycle Growth Potential Intact

Ad Hoc Announcement Pursuant to Article 53 of the SIX Exchange Regulation Listing Rules

RECORD RESULTS FOR SALES AND PROFIT – EBIT MARGIN INCREASED TO 15.0%

Construction chemicals maker Sika reported on Tuesday a 17.3% rise in 2021 sales, boosted by a raft of acquisitions and the upturn in the building industry after pandemic closures the year before. The Swiss company, whose products are used to reinforce and water-proof concrete, said full-year sales rose to 9.24 billion francs ($9.98 billion) from 7.88 billion francs in 2020.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SIKA AG

Sika can overcome rising raw material costs and supply chain restrictions to increase its sales and profit margins this year, the Swiss construction chemicals maker said on Thursday.

Sika confident it can handle raw material price rises

Sika saw strong recovery growth in the first half of the year, but revenue was basically in line with expectations; where Sika really impressed was in its operating costs.

Sika Leveraging Stronger Construction Markets, And Well-Placed To Leverage Green Urbanization For Years To Come

Sika has seen a strong start to 2021, with very strong early growth in China and double-digit growth in Europe, and input cost inflation is being mitigated with pricing. With a strong focus on functional construction products, Sika is well-placed to benefit from the long-term "greening" of construction, as builders pay more attention to energy efficiency and carbon footprints.
