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.
