ZURICH (Reuters) - LafargeHolcim <LHN.S> reported a 43 percent drop in profit during the first half of 2018, as the world's largest cement took 300 million Swiss francs (£230 million) in restructuring costs from its overhaul under Chief Executive Jan Jenisch.
The Zurich company said first-half net profit fell to 371 million Swiss francs, from 651 million francs a year earlier.
Sales rose 2.7 percent to 13.27 billion francs, while the company confirmed its target of increasing net sales by 3 to 5 percent every year, and lifting its core operating profit by at least 5 percent.
