VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's Wienerberger (VI:WBSV) slightly increased its full-year forecast on Tuesday thanks to strong demand for its bricks in its core markets, efficiency gains and revenue contributions from recently acquired companies.
The world's largest brickmaker said it now expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, amortisation and depreciation (EBITDA) of 570 to 580 million euros(£528 million to £537 million) in 2019 after 560 million to 580 million euros previously.
It reported an 49% increase in first-half EBITDA to 295.7 million euros.
