Heidelberg Materials reports 2026 second-quarter financial results. Tools. Germany: Heidelberg Materials recorded a rise in 6% year-on-year to €6bn, with a result from current operations of €1bn, an increase of 4% year-on-year. It said that the share of revenue from sustainable products grew to 38% in the first half of 2026, while specific net emissions were 510kg of CO[2]/t of cementitious material, in line with the previous year. It commissioned a new 1.25Mt/yr kiln line at its Airvault cement plant and the construction of the carbon capture facility in Padeswood, UK. In the first half of 2026, volumes were impacted by ongoing political and economic uncertainties, adverse weather conditions in certain regions - particularly in Europe and northeastern US - and the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, although the situation stabilised in the second quarter. Overall, this led to a slight increase in volumes compared to 2025. The group's cement and clinker deliveries were slightly above the 2025 levels. While volumes declined slightly in the Africa-Mediterranean-Western Asia and Europe areas, North America and Asia-Pacific recorded noticeable increases in volumes. Heidelberg Materials said that it expects demand in the construction sector to further stabilise, with a focus on price adjustments and cost management. Result from current operations is expected to be between €3.4bn and €3.65bn. "In an environment that remains geopolitically and economically very challenging, we generated strong momentum in the second quarter of 2026. A first noticeable recovery in demand in our core markets contributed to the good business performance," said Dominik von Achten, chair of the managing board of Heidelberg Materials. "In addition, we further accelerated our growth through strategic transactions. With acquisitions in North America and Türkiye, we have continued to expand our presence in attractive markets. We expect a good second half of the year and are confident that we will achieve our specified outlook for the financial year 2026."
Higher energy costs prompt Heidelberg Materials to raise prices. 30 July 2026 Heidelberg Materials has narrowed its full-year 2026 earnings guidance after higher energy costs linked to the conflict in Iran weighed on its outlook, prompting the company to introduce a fuel surcharge and implement price increases across its North American and European businesses. The Germany-based cement producer said it now expects its result from current operations (RCO) to reach between EUR3.4bn and EUR3.65bn (US$3.89bn-US$4.18bn) in 2026, compared with previous guidance of EUR3.4bn-EUR3.75bn. The revised range reflects rising costs for oil, gas and electricity following the outbreak of the conflict, as well as continued geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Heidelberg Materials said energy prices had risen significantly since the end of February, although it did not quantify the financial impact on its operations. It added that persistent inflation and elevated financing costs are expected to continue weighing on residential construction activity in many markets. To offset higher input costs, the company has introduced a fuel surcharge and announced price increases across its North American and European operations. Despite the more cautious outlook, chairman of the managing board Dominik von Achten said the company was beginning to see early signs of a recovery in demand across its core markets. 2Q2026 RCO increased by 3.6 per cent YoY to EUR1.09bn (US$1.25bn), exceeding analysts' consensus forecast of EUR1.06bn. According to an analyst poll compiled by the company, Heidelberg Materials is expected to deliver full-year RCO of EUR3.51bn, representing growth of around four per cent compared with 2025.

Heidelberg Materials lines up $200m Russia cement plant expansion - report. Bloomberg, citing an unnamed source, said the German building materials group plans to carry out the project through its local subsidiary. 7 July, 2026 Heidelberg Materials is planning a roughly $200m expansion of a cement plant near St Petersburg, Bloomberg has reported. The move comes despite the company's earlier statement that it had frozen further investment in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. Bloomberg, citing an unnamed source, said the German building materials group plans to carry out the project through its local subsidiary. Heidelberg told Bloomberg the expansion is being financed locally and is linked to environmental and carbon dioxide requirements. "It is a self-financed project of the local subsidiary related to environmental and CO2 constraints," Heidelberg said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg. The company added that the work "does not constitute an investment by Heidelberg Materials." The planned expansion differs from Heidelberg's earlier public position on Russia. Soon after the war in Ukraine began, chief executive Dominik von Achten wrote on LinkedIn: "We feel a deep responsibility for our local workforce who has nothing to do with this attack. But - as a consequence of the war - we decided to completely freeze all further investments in Russia." Heidelberg later repeated that position in response to B4Ukraine, a civil society coalition that has pressed companies over their Russia exposure. According to its website, Heidelberg has operated in Russia since 2001. It runs three cement plants in the country with a combined annual capacity of about 4.7 million metric tonnes. The company says its Russian customers are private ready-mixed concrete and precast producers, mainly serving regional residential construction. Since the start of the war, more than 1,000 companies have left Russia or reduced operations in Russia, according to the Yale School of Management. Heidelberg rivals Holcim AG and CRH Plc are among them. In August 2023, Russia's prosecutor general's office filed a lawsuit against Heidelberg's local subsidiaries seeking to seize their shares. The case was withdrawn weeks later. Regulatory filings show Heidelberg's Russian operations generated about $195m in profit between 2022 and 2024. That was equal to around 3% of the group's total net income. As those profits cannot be transferred to Germany, the company can either keep the funds in local bank accounts or spend them within Russia.

Heidelberg Materials' plant in Russia to be expanded. Tools. Russia: Heidelberg Materials said that it plans to expand in Russia after previously saying that it had halted investments in the country due to the war in Ukraine, according to Bloomberg. The company is planning a US$200m expansion of its plant near St. Petersburg. Heidelberg said in a statement "It is a self-financed project of the local subsidiary related to environmental and CO[2] constraints. It does not constitute an investment by Heidelberg Materials." There is reportedly no evidence that the company broke any laws or sanctions, and it previously said that it operates a 'pure local business in Russia, on a limited scale.' It operates three cement plants in Russia with a total capacity of 4.7Mt/yr.
