Record organic growth in Q1 2021:
up 14.3% on Q1 2020 and up 9.0% on Q1 2019
Strong volume growth, up 11.7% versus Q1 2020 and up 5.8% versus Q1 2019, reflecting good momentum on underlying markets and market share gains
Acceleration in the price increase to 2.6% on Q1 2020 in a more inflationary cost environment
Negative currency impact of 3.8% and positive Group structure impact of 0.4% versus Q1 2020
2021-2020
+9.0%
Sales rose sharply like-for-like, up 14.3% against a first-quarter 2020 comparison basis that was already affected by the coronavirus (down 4.9% versus first-quarter 2019) and up 9.0% versus first- quarter 2019. This acceleration in organic growth was supported by the Group's comprehensive solutions for sustainability and performance. It reflects market share gains and the good dynamic across all of our segments, particularly renovation in Europe, and construction in the Americas and in Asia-Pacific. Overall, industrial markets continued their sequential improvement. Group volumes were up by 11.7% over the quarter and by 5.8% on first-quarter 2019, continuing the supportive trends of fourth-quarter 2020 (up 4.6%). The first quarter also benefited from a volume anticipation effect in March in light of price increase announcements. The price increase accelerated to 2.6% amid increased energy and raw material cost inflation. On a reported basis, sales totaled €10,379 million, with a negative currency effect of 3.8%, related mainly to the depreciation of the US dollar, Brazilian real and other emerging country currencies. Changes in Group structure added 0.4% to sales, primarily reflecting the integration of Continental Building Products in North America as from February 2020. The portfolio optimization continues apace, with the announcement of the sale of a majority stake in the Pipe business in China in mid-April. A total of more than €4.8 billion in sales has now been sold or signed since the launch of "Transform & Grow". Note that in light of the hyperinflationary environment in Argentina, this country which represents less than 1% of the Group's sales, is excluded from the like-for-like analysis. Segment performance (like-for-like sales)
High Performance Solutions (HPS): continued sequential improvement
HPS sales rose 11.8% in the quarter and 2.7% versus first-quarter 2019, buoyed by an overall improvement in industrial markets. Mobility reported double-digit growth against a comparison basis which had been affected in March 2020 by a sharp downturn in sales following the gradual shutdown of automotive manufacturing plants around the world. Current supply chain tensions related to the scarcity of semi-conductors had only a limited impact on the quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, trading was down only slightly, solely due to Europe, while sales for the Chinese and Americas markets were up sharply. Mobility continued to outperform the automotive market in this period, thanks mainly to its increasing exposure to products intended for electric vehicles and to high value-added products. Industry also rebounded with double-digit growth against a weak 2020 comparison basis, and was up slightly compared to the first quarter of 2019. Activities linked to consumable goods were notably led by Do-It-Yourself (DIY) markets, whereas industrial markets reported only a gradual improvement in Europe and the US. Activities related to our customers' investment cycles continued their sequential improvement, but are still down on first-quarter 2019. Activities serving the Construction Industry, which reported growth in first-quarter 2020, continued to perform well, delivering double-digit growth compared to first-quarter 2019. They benefited from further gains in market share and upbeat trends in external thermal insulation solutions (ETICS). Life Sciences, also up in first-quarter 2020, continued to enjoy good momentum with double-digit growth in the pharmaceutical and medical sector, buoyed by its recent capacity investments. Northern Europe: sales growth driven by renovation
Northern Europe progressed 5.1% in the quarter and 4.8% compared to first-quarter 2019 in a Region only slightly impacted overall by the coronavirus pandemic in the same period in 2020. First- quarter 2021 benefited from a volume anticipation effect in March in light of price increase announcements, and more generally, from a reallocation of household savings towards renovation spending. Nordic countries, Germany and Eastern Europe, which progressed in first-quarter 2020, continued to deliver a solid performance and sales growth. In Nordic countries, Distribution in particular enjoyed ongoing good momentum thanks to the success of its omnichannel digital strategy in a supportive renovation market, despite a decline in new construction. The acquisition of Brüggemann in Germany - offering innovative modular turnkey timber construction solutions - fuels the Group's growth in light and sustainable construction. The UK rallied strongly over the quarter, after a sharp downturn right at the end of first-quarter 2020, and was stable versus first-quarter 2019, with slight growth in Distribution despite the impact of store closures related to the optimization of the network. 2
Southern Europe - Middle East & Africa: strong sales momentum in the renovation market
The Southern Europe - Middle East & Africa Region enjoyed strong trading momentum, with sales rebounding 19.7% against a first-quarter 2020 comparison basis affected in March by lockdown measures across most of the Region. Sales increased by 9.5% compared to the first quarter of 2019, reflecting the Group's outperformance on bullish renovation markets. The quarter benefited from a volume anticipation effect in March in light of price increase announcements, and more generally, from a reallocation of household savings towards renovation spending. France contributed strongly to the Region's growth, reporting market share gains and a double-digit rise compared to the pre-Covid period of first-quarter 2019, owing to strong demand for renovation work which benefited the Group's energy-efficient solutions, both manufactured and sold through the Group's Distribution network or via its digital intermediation solutions. The success of the household stimulus package MaPrimeRenov for home renovation is starting to be felt. Spain and Italy delivered significant growth overall, particularly Italy which also benefited from support for energy-efficient renovation in the form of tax credits. Only Benelux posted more moderate growth, in light of the growth recorded in the same period in 2020 and the lockdown measures in the Netherlands. The acquisition of Strikolith in this country has enhanced the Group's offering in the fast-growing exterior insulation systems market. The Middle East and Africa progressed strongly, but with a different pace of recovery from one country to the next. Americas: significant sales growth on supportive markets
The Americas posted organic growth of 22.3% over the quarter and of 23.9% compared to first-quarter 2019 in very dynamic markets. The quarter also benefited from a volume anticipation effect in light of the price increase announcements. North America rose by 17.5% and 19.5%, respectively, over the two periods, driven by particularly strong demand and an acceleration in prices in a more inflationary environment. Offering the Group's full range of solutions for customers through its local organization is paying off and accelerating the growth in sales. This extremely agile local organization enabled us to overcome strong tensions on supply chains and on production in an environment still affected by the coronavirus pandemic, leading all of our main businesses to report significant sales growth. Interior solutions delivered another very strong performance thanks to the successful integration of Continental Building Products, which enhances the Group's positions in construction businesses in North America. Latin America continued to enjoy the vigorous momentum seen at the end of 2020 attributable to both volumes and prices which kept pace with inflation. Despite a challenging health situation at the end of the period, particularly in Brazil, it delivered impressive sales growth of 34.8% over the quarter and of 33.0% versus first-quarter 2019. Thanks to the local organization and an approach in which the Group's full range of solutions can be offered to customers, the region continues to see sales synergies and market share gains. Asia-Pacific: return to strong structural sales growth
The Asia-Pacific Region saw sales growth of 31.8% over the quarter and of 15.4% versus first-quarter 2019. China, which was the first country to be affected by the coronavirus and the first to have fully recovered, doubled its sales against a weak comparison basis. It reported vigorous growth compared to first- quarter 2019 thanks to an upbeat market and to market share gains in construction solutions. The recovery is picking up pace in India where, thanks to market share gains, Saint-Gobain delivered double-digit growth compared to pre-Covid levels, driven by both volumes and prices, despite a deteriorating health situation at the end of the first quarter. South-East Asia reported a mixed picture in terms of recovery, buoyed by growth in Vietnam which continued to capture market share, but with most other countries not yet back to 2019 levels. 3
The Group confirms its outlook for full-year 2021:
In a macroeconomic and health environment which remains affected by uncertainties, the dynamic in our main markets proved upbeat at the start of 2021 - especially renovation in Europe as well as construction in the Americas and in Asia-Pacific - and the Group's operating performance is robust. In this environment, and provided there is no new impact relating to the coronavirus pandemic, Saint- Gobain expects the following trends for its segments:
High Performance Solutions: continued sequential improvement in industrial markets. Businesses related to customer investment should rally steadily during the year, although are expected to remain down on the good level recorded in 2018;
Northern Europe: continued outperformance in construction and support from stimulus programs; Nordic countries and Germany should benefit from good momentum in renovation; the UK should bounce back though the environment remains uncertain;
Southern Europe - Middle East & Africa: continued outperformance in construction thanks to strong residential renovation markets and support from national and European stimulus plans which should particularly benefit the Group's energy-efficient renovation solutions, notably in France, although certain markets such as new construction remain down;
Americas: market growth, particularly residential construction, in both North America - as expected - and Latin America;
Asia-Pacific: market growth, with continued good momentum in China and a sharp rebound expected in India. The Group recalls its priorities:
Improvement in the Group's profitable growth profile, driven by:
the continuation of its portfolio optimization (divestments and acquisitions) and growth in interior solutions in North America fueled by Continental Building Products;
outperformance versus the market thanks to its range of integrated solutions for customers in each country and end market, meeting the full breadth of needs of the construction world and industry;
strategy of differentiation and innovation to develop solutions for sustainability and performance;
ongoing solid achievements in ESG (Environment, Social, Governance), particularly with the deployment of the 2030 roadmap towards carbon neutrality in 2050. 2) Rise of more than 100 basis points in the operating margin compared to the 2018 margin of 7.7%, and ongoing strong discipline in terms of free cash flow generation:
constant focus on the price-costspread, thanks to strong pricing discipline, amid strong inflation in raw material and energy costs;
reduction in costs as part of additional post-coronavirus adaptation measures, which should generate €150 million in cost savings in 2021, following €50 million in second-half2020;
continuation of the operational excellence program aimed at offsetting inflation (excluding raw material and energy costs);
maintaining the structural drivers for improvement in operating working capital requirement;
capital expenditure of around €1.5 billion, with investments in additional capacity focused on high-growth markets; ongoing digital transformation;
continued reduction in non-operatingcosts. For 2021, the Group is targeting a significant like-for-like increase in operating income, with an improvement of more than 100 basis points in the operating margin compared to the 7.7% margin in 2018 (assuming that volumes return to their 2018 levels), confirming the success of "Transform & Grow". 4
The Group's extensive exposure to the renovation market means it is ideally placed to benefit from stimulus plans focused on the energy transition across the globe, which in turn should drive Saint- Gobain's structural growth. Saint-Gobain's medium and long-term outlook are robust thanks to its successful strategic and organizational choices and its development of a range of integrated solutions for each country and end market. The strategy of differentiation and innovation means that Saint-Gobain is well placed to provide its customers with solutions for sustainability and performance. This strategy is perfectly in step with the Group's purpose of "Making the World a better Home". Financial calendar

Saint Gobain : moves forward with the acquisition of Continental Building Products following regulatory and stockholder approval

Saint-Gobain
Après avoir obtenu l'accord des actionnaires de Continental Building Products et des autorités de la concurrence américaine, le géant des matériaux finalisera le 3 février l'acquisition du fabriquant de plaques de plâtre pour 1,4 milliard de dollars. C'est une opération qui, pour reprendre les mots de son PDG Pierre-André de Chalendar, va permettre à Saint-Gobain "de devenir un acteur majeur sur le marché de la plaque de plâtre et des solutions pour la construction en Amérique du Nord". Le géant des matériaux a en effet annoncé le 30 janvier avoir obtenu le feu vert des actionnaires et des autorités de la concurrence américaines pour finaliser le rachat de Continental Building Products. L'accord entre les deux compagnies signé en novembre 2019 portait sur l’acquisition par Saint-Gobain de l’intégralité des actions de Continental Building Products pour un montant de 37,00$ par action, dans le cadre d’une opération en numéraire représentant une valeur d’entreprise totale d’environ 1,4 milliard de dollars (environ 1,3 milliard d’euros). Les bénéfices stratégiques de cette acquisition sont nombreux pour Saint-Gobain. En étoffant sont portefeuille d’actifs, le groupe accroît sa capacité à offrir des solutions innovantes à une base de clients plus large. Ensuite, Continental  Building  Products offre une importante complémentarité géographique avec les installations nord-américaines de Saint-Gobain, un bon ancrage dans les géographies en croissance de l’Est et du Sud-Est des Etats-Unis et un niveau de rentabilité élevé. Par ailleurs, Saint-Gobain estime les "synergies de coûts" et "l'amélioration de la performance" envisagées, à "au moins 50 millions de  dollars". Elles seront réalisées "d’ici la fin de la troisième année suivant la réalisation de l’opération (c’est-à-dire 2022 en année pleine, soit un an en avance par rapport au calendrier initial), grâce à l’intégration des activités de Continental Building Products au sein du métier du gypse de Saint-Gobain en Amérique du Nord", a précisé le groupe. Enfin, Benoît Bazin, directeur général délégué de Saint-Gobain a annoncé le nouvel organigramme, qui s'appuie sur l'équipe dirigeante actuelle de Contiental Building Products : "Nous  nous  réjouissons  que  les  dirigeants  clefs  de  Continental  Building Products  rejoignent  notre  activité plaque  de  plâtre aux  Etats-Unis. Elle  sera  dirigée  par  Jay  Bachmann, précédemment directeur général de Continental Building Products, qui rapportera à Mark Rayfield, directeur général  de  Saint-Gobain en Amérique du Nord".
