Post spin-off Holcim financial information excludes the contribution of the North American business and transactions and separation costs in connection with the spin-off.
‘Holcim’ refers to Holcim Ltd and its subsidiaries in its post spin-off structure, following the completion of the planned full capital market separation of the North American business (i.e. Amrize Ltd and its subsidiaries at the time of the spin-off), which is subject to shareholder approval at the Holcim Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2025 and other customary approvals. All financial metrics referencing historical data prior to 2024 are adjusted to exclude contribution from countries divested as of 31 December 2023. Post spin-off Holcim financial information derives from Holcim’s 2024 Group financial performance from which we excluded the contribution of the North American business and transaction and separation costs in connection with the spin-off.
