H+H International A/S (hereinafter referred to as "H+H" or "the Company") hereby announces financial results for the full year ended 31 December 2022. The financial results for 2022 are within the range of the most recent financial guidance for 2022 (see company announcement No. 517 of 10 November 2022):

• Revenue growth measured in local currencies ("organic growth") came in at 14% in line with recent guidance. Organic growth was mainly driven by sales price increases to counter the continued high inflation. It was offset by lower sales volumes as a result of planned upgrade of the Wittenborn factory in Germany as well as a softening of sales volumes in Poland which started in H2.
• EBIT before special items reached all-time high DKK 455 million.
• Q4, 2022 was impacted by lower volumes and higher production costs across our markets. EBIT before special items was DKK 58 million compared to DKK 94 million last year, corresponding to an EBIT margin before special items of 7% compared to 13% in 2021.

"I am pleased to see a very strong full-year result for 2022 where H+H reached its highest ever EBIT before special items of DKK 455 million. Following a strong start of 2022, we saw a change in market dynamics in the second half of the year. High inflation and increased market uncertainty led to lower demand for residential newbuild. We expect this to impact our volume growth by 10-15% and our earnings in 2023. We are well prepared to navigate in such environment", says CEO, Jörg Brinkmann.
