Q & A Highlights

Q: How do you view the current demand environment, particularly in the US and Germany, and what are your expectations for organic growth seasonality in 2025? A: Yves Padrines, CEO, explained that while there are potential changes, the market conditions in Q1 2025 are similar to 2024. The US market remains strong despite some indicators suggesting otherwise, and the German infrastructure spending fund could have positive effects, though it's too early to tell. Organic growth seasonality will see some volatility, with strong demand in Q1, especially in the build segment, and a higher comparison base in Q4 2025.
