Resilient first quarter revenue growth amid global uncertainty
Highlights
1
Demonstrating resilient growth despite continued geopolitical
turbulence and unusual weather conditions in Europe and North
America, revenue in Q1 2026 reached 906 MEUR, an increase of two
percent measured in local currencies and flat in reported figures
compared to last year.
We expect that energy and raw material cost levels will remain
elevated. To protect margins, we have implemented additional price
increases in the range of 6-8 percent, with main impact from the
middle of the year.
EBITDA in Q1 2026 reached 187 MEUR, with a 20.7 percent EBITDA
margin, a good result although down 2.1 percentage points compared
to the record high quarter last year. The production incident in
Switzerland and the production stop due to the electrical conversion in
the Netherlands combined with continued weakness in markets in
Canada and the United Kingdom impacted the margins negatively.
EBIT decreased 14 percent to 120 MEUR in Q1 2026. EBIT margin
reached 13.2 percent, down 2.2 percentage points compared to last
year.
During Q1 2026, the Group purchased 238,060 B shares for a total
amount of 7 MEUR related to the share buy-back programme which
ended 6 February 2026.
Shareholders may from 19 May 2026 until 3 June 2026 request
conversion of A shares to B shares. For further information please
refer to https://www.rockwool.com/group/about-
us/investors/conversion-shares/
Earlier this month, ROCKWOOL signed an agreement to acquire
Ravago’s Hungary-based stone wool factory. The transaction is
expected to be completed in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing
conditions, including relevant regulatory approvals.
Outlook 2026
Revenue is expected to increase between 3-6 percent in 2026 in local
currencies.
EBIT margin between 13-14 percent.
Investment level around 700 MEUR, excluding acquisitions.
We continue to manage well the
consequences of the ongoing geopolitical
turbulence, achieving resilient revenue
growth in the first quarter. Sales were solid
in key markets including the United States,
France, and Romania, while declining
elsewhere, notably the United Kingdom
and Canada.
Profitability was satisfactory, although
below the record Q1 last year owing to
factors such as the production stop in
Switzerland and the electrical conversion
in the Netherlands. We remain optimistic
about the future and will continue to invest
in capacity expansion and electrification,
including the recent acquisition in
Hungary.

Management report for the period
1 January to 31 March 2026
General update
Global geopolitical instability and market uncertainty characterised Q1 2026.
This included disrupted energy markets and increased oil and gas prices,
creating inflationary pressures across construction materials and logistics.
We expect that energy and raw material cost levels will remain elevated. To
protect margins, we have implemented additional price increases in the range
of 6-8 percent, with main impact from the middle of the year. We continue to
believe that the best assurance against higher energy prices is greater energy
efficiency in buildings, starting with more insulation.
The quarter was also affected by winter weather conditions in Europe and North
America in the first two months of the year as well as disruptions from the
production incident in Switzerland and the conversion to electric melting on one
of the production lines in the Netherlands.
ROCKWOOL signed an agreement on 5 May 2026 to acquire Ravago's stone
wool factory in northeastern Hungary, which employs 100 people and with a
capacity of up to 40 kilo tonnes. The factory will support our long-term priority to
meet regional demand. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2026,
subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The
acquisition is not expected to materially impact our 2026 financial outlook.
Global revenue development in Q1 2026
Despite the challenging environment, revenue grew 2.3 percent in local
currencies, generating a revenue of 906 MEUR, which due to the weaker USD
was flat in reported figures compared to Q1 2025. The revenue increase
measured in local currencies was driven by higher volumes and a minor
increase in overall sales prices.
Regional revenue development in Q1 2026
Revenue in Western Europe amounted to 542 MEUR, a decrease of one
percent measured in both local currencies and reported figures compared to Q1
2025. Revenue grew well in France, Italy, Spain and Sweden, while declining in
the United Kingdom and Germany. Also, in Switzerland revenue declined due
to the production stop related to the Q4 2025 production incident.
In Eastern Europe, revenue amounted to 129 MEUR, up 15 percent in both
local currencies and reported figures compared to Q1 2025. Revenue increased
double-digit in several markets including Romania and Hungary while revenue
in Poland increased slightly in the quarter.
Revenue in North America reached 187 MEUR, an increase of three percent in
local currencies and a decrease of six percent measured in reported figures,
impacted by the lower U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate. Revenue in the

United States continued to show good growth, while weak demand within the
residential segment and ongoing trade uncertainties created difficult market
conditions in Canada.
Revenue in Asia and rest of the world amounted to 48 MEUR, up seven percent
in local currencies and two percent in reported figures. Japan, Thailand and
Vietnam performed well, while revenue in many other countries decreased,
especially in Malaysia and China due to difficult market conditions.

MEUR
Group profitability in Q1 2026
EBITDA decreased nine percent to 187 MEUR, resulting in an EBITDA margin
of 20.7 percent, a good result although down 2.1 percentage points compared
to the record high Q1 2025. The decrease in margin was driven by weak
construction markets in Canada and United Kingdom, higher logistic costs and
a higher cost base. Additional factors included costs related to the production
incident in Switzerland and the planned production stop related to the electrical
conversion in the Netherlands.
EBIT decreased 14 percent, reaching 120 MEUR, corresponding to an EBIT
margin of 13.2 percent compared to 15.4 percent for the same period last year.
The result for Q1 2025 included a donation to the Foundation for Ukrainian
Reconstruction of 6 MEUR, while no donations were recognised in 2026.
Net financial items was an expense of 6 MEUR, compared to an income of 1
MEUR for the same period last year, driven by interest income on prepaid tax in
Q1 2025.
The effective tax rate was 25 percent compared to 23 percent in Q1 2025, and
unchanged from full year 2025.
Net profit for continuing operations amounted to 85 MEUR, which is 24 MEUR
lower than last year.

Upon deconsolidation of the Russian business, the cumulative currency
translation reserve in equity related to it was reclassified from equity to the
Statement of profit and loss and recognised in “Profit/loss from discontinued
operation”. The cumulative currency translation reserve from 1999 to 2025
represented a loss of 170 MEUR recognised in Q1 2026.
Financial position
Net working capital at the end of Q1 2026 was 517 MEUR, an increase of 103
MEUR compared to year-end 2025. The increase was related to planned higher
inventory, and the seasonal development of revenue partly offset by higher
trade payables. Net working capital ratio ended at 14.3 percent, 2.9 percentage
points higher than year-end 2025.
Driven by lower four quarters rolling EBIT and higher invested capital,
annualised return on invested capital ended at 16 percent, compared to 21
percent in the same period last year.
At the end of Q1 2026, total assets amounted to 4,037 MEUR, an increase of
395 MEUR compared to year-end 2025. The development compared to year-
end 2025, where net assets in the Russian business were written down to zero,
was related to higher investments, higher trade receivables and a higher cash
position for payment of dividend in April 2026.
At the end of the period, the equity ratio was down five percentage points
compared to year-end 2025, but remained solid at 70 percent.
Cash flow in Q1 2026
Cash flow from operations before financial items and tax amounted to 88
MEUR, a decrease of 27 MEUR compared to the same period last year due to
lower earnings.
Investments amounted to 154 MEUR, an increase of 67 MEUR compared to 87
MEUR in the same period last year. The factory projects in the United States
and India, additional capacity in Romania, electrification of production lines in
the Netherlands and France, a logistics automation project in Germany, and a
new Technical Insulation production line in the United States were the largest
individual investment projects in the quarter.
Free cash flow ended at -119 MEUR, down 68 MEUR compared to the same
period last year due to lower earnings, higher investments, and timing of tax
settlements.
Cash flow from financing was 233 MEUR, compared to 115 MEUR last year,
primarily from drawings on credit facilities ahead of the dividend payments and
upcoming investment projects, but also lower cash flow from purchase of
shares related to the share buy-back programme.
ROCKWOOL had a net interest-bearing debt position of 306 MEUR with a
leverage ratio of 0.4 as well as unused credit facilities of 400 MEUR at the end
of Q1 2026.

Insulation segment sales for Q1 2026 reached 743 MEUR, an increase of two
percent in local currencies and a decrease of one percent in reported figures
compared to same quarter last year. Revenue in the United States and key
markets in Eastern and Southern Europe showed solid growth, while revenue
decreased in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland.
Insulation segment EBIT for Q1 2026 reached 103 MEUR, with an EBIT margin
of 12.7 percent, a decrease of 1.7 percentage points compared to Q1 2025.
This result reflects market weakness in Canada and the United Kingdom,
increased logistic costs and extra costs related to the production incident in
Switzerland and the planned production stop related to the electrical conversion
in the Netherlands.

Systems segment generated an EBIT of 17 MEUR in Q1 2026 with an EBIT
margin of 10.3 percent, a decrease of 3.7 percentage points compared to Q1
2025 mainly related to inflation on input costs that were not sufficiently offset by
sales price increases, increased bad debt provision as well as increased scale-
up costs in new business areas.

Conversion of shares
In accordance with ROCKWOOL’s articles of association, shareholders may
request conversion of A shares to B shares from 19 May 2026 (as per this
announcement) until 3 June 2026. Further information on how to submit a
conversion request and on the terms and conditions can be found on the
company’s website:
https://www.rockwool.com/group/about-us/investors/conversion-shares/.
Share buy-back programme
During Q1 2026 ROCKWOOL Group completed the share buy-back
programme running from 7 February 2025 until 6 February 2026. In Q1 2026
the Group purchased 238,060 B shares related to the programme. The total
purchase price was 51 MDKK (7 MEUR).
Outlook for the full year 2026
The outlook for 2026 revenue is between 3-6 percent growth in local currencies
due to a positive activity development and the effect from the sales price
increases that are needed to offset higher energy and logistics costs.
The announced sales price increases are expected to offset input costs and
logistics inflation, maintaining profitability margins. EBIT margin is therefore
expected to be between 13-14 percent for 2026.
Major investments in 2026 include capacity expansions in India, Romania, the
United States, and France along with the acquisition of land for future
manufacturing sites in several countries Overall, total investments are expected
to reach around 700 MEUR in 2026, excluding acquisitions.

Accounting policies
This unaudited interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and additional Danish regulations for the
presentation of quarterly interim reports by listed companies. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies set out in the Annual Report for 2025, with no significant changes.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
In preparing this interim report, Management has made various accounting estimates and judgements that may significantly
influence the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related information at the reporting date.
The accounting judgements and estimates which Management considers to be material for the preparation and
understanding of the interim report are stated in Note 1.1 in the Annual Report 2025 and primarily relate to control over the
Russian business, expected lifetime for property, plant and equipment, impairment testing, valuation of inventories, deferred
tax assets, and uncertain tax positions.
Disclaimer
The statements on the future in this report, including expected revenue and earnings, are associated with risks and
uncertainties and may be affected by factors influencing the activities of the Group, such as the global economic
environment, including interest and exchange rate developments, the raw material situation, production and distribution-
related issues, breach of contract or unexpected termination of contract, price reductions due to market-driven price
developments, market acceptance of new products, launches of competitive products, and other unforeseen factors.
Note 1 Discontinued operation The Russian business
On 13 January 2026, the Russian government published a presidential decree, in which management of ROCKWOOL’s
Russian subsidiaries LLC ROCKWOOL and LLC ROCKWOOL-VOLGA was put under external administration. LLC
ROCKWOOL owns 100 percent of the two Russian subsidiaries LLC ROCKWOOL-NORTH and LLC ROCKWOOL-Ural.
According to the presidential decree, ROCKWOOL retains title to the shares in the subsidiaries, but otherwise no longer has
any control or influence over management of the four subsidiaries in Russia (the Russian business).
The decree was signed on 31 December 2025 and published on 13 January 2026. The decree enters into force on the day
of publication according to Russian regulation. Therefore, it is Management’s assessment that ROCKWOOL lost control of
the Russian business on 13 January 2026. The Russian business is therefore deconsolidated as from 13 January 2026.
Management has assessed that the Russian business from 13 January 2026 qualifies as a discontinued operation and has
been presented as such in accordance with IFRS 5.
Net result from the Russian business is presented separately in the statement of profit and loss and in the statement of cash
flows. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
In the statement of financial position, assets and liabilities related to the Russian business are deconsolidated and not
recognised. In accordance with IFRS 5 comparative figures have not been restated.
Management has assessed that an existing loan to ROCKWOOL A/S from the Russian subsidiary LLC ROCKWOOL will not
result in cash outflow as it is assessed that current EU sanctions prohibit the repayment of the loan, as long as control is lost
over the Russian business. The loan liability of 83 MEUR was offset in the value adjustment of the Russian business 31
December 2025. In the restated comparison figures, the loan and the related interest and foreign currency adjustment have
been included as part of the discontinued operation.
Upon deconsolidation in 2026, the cumulative currency translation reserve in equity related to the Russian business was
reclassified from equity to the Statement of profit and loss and recognised in “Profit/loss from discontinued operation”. The
cumulated currency translation reserve represents a loss of 170 MEUR.
