France: Saint-Gobain’s third quarter results for 2020 for its High Performance Solutions division were supported by external thermal insulation products (ETICS). The group said that, “activities serving the construction Industry held up well in the nine-month period, and in the third quarter when sales were virtually stable thanks notably to ETICS.” Despite this sales decreased for the division in both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2020.
The building materials producer’s overall like-for-like sales fell by 7.2% year-on-year to Euro27.9bn in the first nine months of 2020 from Euro32.4bn in the same period in 2019. However, overall sales improved by 3.2% year-on-year to Euro10.1bn in the third quarter of 2020.
