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.

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

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.
