Vicat, one of the leading companies in the construction materials sector, has released its third-quarter results for 2025. The company recorded a significant 4.9% increase in organic sales growth, driven by momentum in Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. This performance raised the year-to-date organic growth to 1.8% for the first nine months.
Financial Performance and Year-End Outlook
Vicat’s third-quarter 2025 sales increased by 1.4% on a reported basis compared to the same period last year, reaching €992 million. The company announced that it expects EBITDA growth of 2% to 5% by year-end.
Regional performance in the third quarter showed remarkable momentum. The Mediterranean region achieved strong growth, with 22.2% on a reported basis and 43.2% on a like-for-like basis, accounting for 16% of Vicat’s total sales.
Europe delivered solid performance with 7.9% like-for-like growth, while Africa experienced a 7.1% decline. However, the commissioning of Kiln 6 in Senegal is expected to contribute to EBITDA from the fourth quarter onwards. This investment aims to replace clinker imports, improve the cost base, and achieve cost savings of up to €20 per ton.
Key Steps in the Climate Roadmap
Vicat has made significant progress in its sustainability and low-carbon product transition strategy. The company’s VAIA project was selected by the EU Innovation Fund, marking its first step in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) financing.
In France, a long-term agreement was signed with EDF for low-carbon electricity supply. Effective from 2026, this 15-year contract will allow Vicat to source 70% of its electricity consumption in France from nuclear energy.
The company has identified its key priorities for 2025–2027 as maintaining an EBITDA margin of at least 20%, continuing to reduce leverage, and accelerating its climate roadmap to promote low-carbon products.
