Sika Undertakes Structural Adjustments Amid Weak Markets
On October 24, 2025, Sika announced Q3 operating results and ongoing structural adjustments in China and other weak markets. The company expects one-time costs of CHF 80–100 million in 2025, including up to 1,500 layoffs.
Despite a double-digit decline in China’s construction business, sales for the first nine months grew 1.1% in local currency, with 3% growth outside China.
The EBITDA margin improved to 19.2%, supported by lower input costs and successful MBCC integration, even though volume declines in China reduced EBITDA by approximately 50 basis points. Overall, Sika’s EBITDA for the first nine months was CHF 1.64 billion, slightly lower than last year.
