Holcim issues profit warning over one-off charges

Switzerland: Holcim surprised investors with a profit warning today, after announcing it would take a Euro641m hit in one-off charges on its 2011 accounts. The bulk of the impairment relates to a Holcim-specific issue in South Africa regarding AfriSam but analysts noted the decision to write down the value of assets in parts of Europe and the US on the back of sharply lower demand could be echoed by other cement makers.

"Some mature markets will never again see the record levels of profitability of the mid-2000s. Other players could be forced to do the same," warned Josep Pujal of Kepler Capital Markets.

Euro343m of Holcim's charges stemmed from completely writing down its remaining South Africa investment following a steep fall in demand for construction materials in the country since 2010. Holcim's South African exposure stems from its former local subsidiary, the country's biggest cement maker by sales, AfriSam. The remainder of the write-offs stem from adjusting property, equipment and goodwill lines in the group's accounts to much weaker markets. Some Euro271m in writedowns related to Spain and eastern Europe and Euro26m related to the US.
