Innovation and technological development are important elements of the Group's growth strategy, and there is a strong willingness to invest in the necessary equipment and expertise in order to be a leading player in the Nordic building materials market in the future.

In principle, Byggma allocate its investments to digitalisation and automation of production processes, as well as to the environment and sustainability. The expected turnover in 2024 is NOK 2.200 million and the Group has around 690 employees. The Group will seek to realise its vision through its fundamental values, which can be described as IIR:

I – Inclusive

Show interest, respect and understanding towards colleagues, customers, and suppliers. Open and direct communication allows for influence and joint decisions that generate engagement. Help develop the people around you (we are no better than the weakest link).

I – Innovative

Curious and in search of future challenges. Always solution oriented and on the lookout for opportunities and good ideas. Encourage the development and commersialisation of good ideas across the Group.

R – Responsible

Continuous focus on HSE, including continuous focus on training and skills development. Act with integrity and stand by all that we say and do. Show concern for the environment, health, and sustainable development in the execution of our activities.

Branding and positioning

Byggma is a distinguished brand manufacturer, with a legacy of integration within the building materials sector that spans numerous years. This longstanding presence ensures predictability, recognition, and a sense of security—key factors that drive the preference for Byggma's products among our clientele. Our consolidated status as a premier supplier of building material solutions has been further solidified over the course of the year. Such progress contributes to the stability of our employment. Moreover, this fortification serves as a testament to the efficacy of the efforts undertaken across all divisions of the company.

Innovation

Every product undergoes a lifecycle, and currently, Byggma boasts a multitude of products that are firmly established within the market. To maintain a robust product portfolio, we are committed to ongoing product development and innovation. Our dedication to product enhancements and new introductions has yielded a trajectory of increased revenue and profitability in recent years. Innovation and product development occupy a central place in our strategic priorities and will continue to be a focal point moving forward.

Sustainability / ESG

Forests play a pivotal role in carbon sequestration, and at Byggma, we believe that responsible stewardship of this resource involves creating superior products that encapsulate carbon for extended periods. Byggma's climate assessments reveal that our products sequester a considerably greater volume of carbon than the emissions produced by our operations. Byggma has a longstanding tradition of prioritizing productivity and continuous enhancement. Sustainability represents a natural progression of these efforts. Through the active engagement of our employees and partners, we aim to utilize resources efficiently, thereby ensuring job security and fostering a business that delivers substantial value to the community.

Highlights

Sales revenue and profit

Sales revenues YTD decreased from NOK 1,651.6 million in 2023 to NOK 1,593.0 million in 2024 corresponding to a decrease of NOK 58.6 million (3.5 %). Adjusted operating profit decreased from NOK 171.4 million in 2023 to NOK 98.9 million in 2024.

Byggma is profitable during challenging times

The construction materials sector is currently experiencing the most challenging market conditions since the Second World War. A critical barometer for market size fluctuations is the residential construction companies' reports on the volume of houses sold and initiated. Over the past year, these figures stand at 14,466 and 14,036 units, respectively, against Norway's annual housing requirement of 30,000. Like many sectors, ours is influenced by various elements, including global unrest, rising interest rates, and pronounced inflation, leading many to defer their homebuilding plans. However, a silver lining exists in the increasing fundamental demand for housing. Consequently, when home sales are substantially below the necessary levels, the theoretical backlog of orders surges, which will eventually catalyze a robust upswing for the industry. It is a testament to Byggma Group's resilience that, despite the exceptionally challenging market conditions, the group has maintained solid profitability throughout the year to date.

Aneta Lighting has significantly enhanced its profitability and market position

Aneta Lighting continues to expand its presence, capturing market share and achieving robust sales growth despite a declining market. In the third quarter of 2024, the Lighting segment reported sales revenue of NOK 30.5 million, up from NOK 25.0 million in the same period last year, and an operating profit of MNOK 3.1, compared to MNOK 1.0 in the same period last year. This represents a sales growth of 22% and an operating margin of 10% for the quarter. Aneta Lighting exemplifies how to outperform the market by working smarter and more effectively than the competition.

Made in Norway

Huntonit and Forestia are among the first 22 companies globally to adopt the official "Made in Norway" trademark. This origin brand has been developed based on both Norwegian and international benchmarks, such as "Swiss Made", "New Zealand Made", and "Seafood from Norway". By associating with positive Norwegian values such as sustainability, responsibility, equality, and natural beauty, the trademark aims to enhance the marketing and sales of Norwegian products.

Norske Skog ASA

As of 30 September, Byggma ASA and its related party Drangsland Kapital AS owns ca. 26.8 % of the share capital in Norske Skog ASA. Byggma aims to be a long-term owner in Norske Skog ASA. There are several synergy effects between Norske Skog and Byggma regarding process equipment, raw materials, logistics, product development and environment.

New distribution hub in Forestia

In 2022, Forestia made a strategic investment in a new 4,000 m2 logistics center located at Braskereidfoss. This facility enables our clientele to consolidate orders and receive chipboard, OSB, and plywood boards in a single shipment. The statistics are a testament to the success of this initiative, and customer feedback underscores the added value this brings to both Forestia and our clients, alongside the environmental benefits derived from more efficient goods transportation. The rising sales figures for OSB and plywood reinforce the attractiveness of this solution to our customers, confirming its success.

Product innovation

Our product launches Forestia Premium Ceiling, Forestia Ergospon and Huntonit Pro Wall are still experiencing increasing sales in the market. These decorative interior products add more value for the customer and hence have high unit prices. The increasing sales of these products are consequently increasing the profitability of the group.

Sustainability

The Group is constantly identifying new valuable sustainability projects that reduce emissions to both air and water, which simultaneously are economically profitable for Byggma. In the third quarter, Byggma has intensified its commitment to sustainability by appointing a Director of Sustainability. See more in the Sustainability section in this report.

Forestia Carbon Sink

Forestia has been in dialogue with Innovasjon Norge to secure grants for a plant to process and clean wood waste for reuse in new woodchip boards. On 8 April 2022, Forestia was informed by the Minister of Finance, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, and Minister of Trade and Industry, Jan Christian Vestre, that Innovasjon Norge's Board of Directors had approved a NOK 80 million grant for this project. This initiative will enhance Forestia's value, make its woodchip boards more circular by recycling wood waste, and reduce CO2 emissions. It will also lower sourcing risks by reducing dependence on raw materials from sawmills. Forestia is working with vendors to secure long-term supply agreements for the project.

A word from the CEO

"If we can make it now, we can make it anytime" - an adapted application of Frank Sinatra's stanza from "Theme From New York, New York". The building materials market continues to experience historically low activity, which is reflected in our financial results. Despite this, Byggma has managed to achieve a surplus during a period of the lowest construction activity since World War II. There are signs that the market has reached its bottom. This demonstrates our robustness and highlights the dedication of all Byggma employees, who understand their responsibilities, roll up their sleeves, and work extra hard when needed. We should be proud of this achievement!

Increased commitment to sustainability in Byggma

Byggma has demonstrated an increased commitment to sustainability in the third quarter of 2024. The company has enhanced its investment in sustainability initiatives and appointed a dedicated Sustainability Director. This focus on sustainability is increasingly emphasized by Byggma's stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the public sector. This positive development aligns with Byggma's product portfolio, which predominantly features products made from renewable materials, particularly wood. This strategic focus allows Byggma to strengthen its competitiveness in the market.

According to Byggma's climate statement, the company sequesters significantly more carbon in its products than is released through its operations. Byggma aims to maximize the use of certified wood. In 2023, 93.6% of the timber used was certified and sourced from sustainable forestry, and this percentage continues to rise.

It is crucial that we increase the use of wood-based building materials and reduce reliance on non-renewable alternatives. This approach ensures that carbon is sequestered in the wood for many years. Conversely, if harvested forests are left to rot, burned, or destroyed by natural disasters, the carbon is released into the atmosphere. According to SBB, there is now 33% more forest in Norway than there was 15 years ago, which is a concerning trend. As new trees grow,

they absorb CO2, with half of their dry weight consisting of pure carbon. However, unused standing forests that are ripe for felling can hinder the growth of new forests and impede this natural carbon capture process.

The Building Technical Regulation (TEK17) leads to suboptimal environmental choices. Home builders and contractors preparing climate accounts in accordance with TEK17 must adhere to the principle of immediate oxidation for bio-based building products. This principle assumes that the carbon in the wood is released into the atmosphere upon cutting, rather than being sequestered in the wood-based building material. This assumption does not reflect reality, resulting in wood-based building materials being unfairly disadvantaged. Consequently, stakeholders may opt for non-renewable building materials over renewable ones. Unfortunately, this adherence to TEK17 often takes precedence over making climate-friendly decisions, bordering on greenwashing. It is imperative that authorities intervene and update the construction techniques regulation to reflect more accurate environmental impacts.

The way forward. We cannot control the market, but we can control our own priorities and actions, and thereby do better than the market and increase our market shares. While in the Nordics now significantly fewer homes are built than is needed if a theoretical order backlog in the form of even more homes having to be built in the coming time to catch up the backlog. In recent months, sold residential units have exceeded started residential units, and this tends to be a leading indicator that construction activity will pick up in the future. It still is several signs that the bottom in the market has been reached, but how quickly the market normalizes is difficult to predict. While the market takes its time to recover, we are doing what we can to improve us and make our businesses ready for the rise in demand that is likely to occur come.

We have many good machines and equipment at Byggma, but it is the people who are the most important the resource. Without you, Byggma would not have had the position we have today. Thank you for your efforts so far in 2024. I look forward to continuing and working with you in the future!

Best regards

Conrad Lehne Drangsland Chief Executive Officer

Sustainability / ESG

Forests and wood capture and stores significant amounts of carbon (sequestration) and at Byggma the good management of this resource is all about creating high quality products that store carbon for many decades. In several of our operations, the contributions to carbon storage significantly outweigh the carbon footprint from our operations.

At Byggma, we have a tradition of working on productivity and continuous improvement. Sustainability is in many ways a progression of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of a committed team of employees and partners, Byggma will continue to implement efficient use of resources, while also securing jobs and ensuring the future of a company that is committed to creating value for society. The following are some of the projects developed in 2024.

Byggma

Climate Accounting

In 2024, Byggma has unveiled its Sustainability Report for the year 2023. For the first time, Byggma has compiled climate accounts in alignment with the GHG protocol. The data unequivocally demonstrates that Byggma's products sequester a significantly greater amount of carbon than what is emitted from our operations. Consequently, we can assert that Byggma's activities contribute to the net removal of CO⯑ from the atmosphere, positioning us as a vital player in addressing climate challenges moving forward. When considering the total carbon sequestered through a year's production of Byggma's wood-based products, the figure amounts to an impressive storage of 425 thousand tonnes of CO⯑ equivalents.

Byggma ASA

Strengthens sustainability efforts with new company position

Byggma ASA is strengthening its focus on sustainability and has appointed a Sustainability Director within the group. This newly created position is part of our long-term strategy to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our operations. The Sustainability Director will be

responsible for leading and coordinating the group's sustainability efforts across all our companies, ensuring that we meet our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. This initiative is not only a crucial step in enhancing our social mission but also a key to increasing our competitiveness in the market. By focusing on sustainable solutions and innovations, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable future while creating value for our shareholders, customers, and society.

Environment and Climate

Huntonit AS and Forestia AS Optimize Packaging for Several Products

Packaging optimization has long been a focus area for Byggma. Huntonit AS has now switched the packaging of Huntonit wall panels and the Focus product series from fibreboard to cardboard. This has resulted in reduced waste at construction sites and better utilized transport, with a reduction of approximately 225 tons so far in 2024 for Huntonit, equivalent to 13.5 tons of CO⯑-eq.

Forestia AS successfully transitioned from chipboard to cardboard for Walls2Paint and has also introduced cardboard packaging for the following products in 2024: Ergospon, Proffgulv, and eliteX. This transition not only saves on transport weight and emissions, as well as waste at construction sites, but also frees up raw materials at Forestia to produce finished goods. Final savings calculations will be seen at the end of 2024.

Forestia AS phased out the use of ammonia

Forestia has phased out ammonia from the production process during 2024. Phasing out ammonia is a significant contribution to reducing chemicals and additives and positively impacts our total CO⯑ emissions. The emission reduction, based on LCA analysis and production volume in 2023, shows that Forestia reduces CO⯑ emissions by 135 tons of CO⯑-eq annually. The reduction is related to the production of ammonia, including transport from the producer to Forestia.

Masonite Beams AB works to develop the future's healthcare buildings

The goal of the project is to help develop future hospitals that can be built in wood. Several suppliers of wooden support systems are involved in the project, focusing on finding solutions for building various types of healthcare buildings and hospitals with wooden structures. Aspects such as sound, fire, stability, etc., are being considered. Masonite Beams is part of the project, and which hospital departments and building parts can be built with the Masonite Building System is now being assessed.

Masonite Beams AB participates in a project for foundations with lower climate impact

Buildings with wooden structures generally have a low climate footprint, but the foundation often constitutes a significant part of the total climate impact because a concrete slab on the ground is used. This project analyzes several types of foundations to see how the climate impact can be reduced. Masonite Beams is looking into four different alternative foundations for a four-story house to demonstrate how the climate impact can be further reduced. To meet market demands for flexibility and reuse, the possibilities for dismantling and moving the various foundation types are also being analyzed.

Forestia AS saves over 100 tons of CO-eq by changes to transport

Forestia made changes in 2024 to transport from Wismar in Germany to Braskereidfoss for purchased goods. Transport, which was previously done exclusively by truck, has been moved to intermodal freight with truck – boat – train – truck. This results in a 65% reduction in CO2 emissions from transport compared to road transport. From the start in April through Q3 2024, we have calculated a total savings of 109.98 tons of CO⯑-eq.

Smartpanel AS are to consider using electric trucks and boats

To reduce emissions from transport, we currently require all vehicles to be at least EURO 6 certified. Smartpanel is looking into the possibility of using electric trucks for deliveries in Østfold and Sweden. The transition to electric vehicles will not only reduce carbon emissions but also improve air quality and create a more environmentally friendly transport system.

Smartpanel will conduct a test in week 49 by delivering goods to a customer's central warehouse in Denmark by boat instead of trucks. This corresponds to 16 full trucks and is an important step in reducing our negative environmental impact.

Smartpanel AS works towards reducing the environmental impact from the paint cleaning process

In the current cleaning process for paint equipment, Smartpanel cannot separate paint particles from the water. Therefore, we are now considering a flocculation plant, which causes the small paint particles to bind together into larger clumps. This process allows us to separate the paint particles from water and reuse the water in the washing process.

People and Society

Uldal AS collaborates with NAV Birkenes to employ six people from Ukraine

Uldal AS has had a meaningfull collaboration with NAV Birkenes for several years. Together, they have now engaged six men from Ukraine to work in the production facilities. We view this as more than taking social responsibility, it is about seeing the value in people. Therefore, a lot of time is spent by NAV and Uldal to find the right candidates, with the goal of continued employment in the company after the collaboration including wage subsidy is over.

From the left: Torbjørn Vik, head of NAV Birkenes, Sada Majcic, recruitment advisor at NAV Birkenes, Tronn Tellefsen production manager at Uldal, and three of the new hires - Ivan Maiko (32), Andrii Zakharov (25) and Yevhenii Pasnaiev (40) Picture retrieved from Birkeland Avis.

Aneta AS strengthens the permanently arranged work offer (VTA) for people with special needs

At Byggma, we are proud of Aneta's subsidiary Scan Lamps VTA. A VTA company (permanently arranged work) that provides people with special needs a workplace at our company, with all that entails in terms of opportunities for a sense of mastery, independence, and social development. Extensive efforts to improve the quality of our VTA initiative are being conducted, including a focus on increased user participation in the form of participation and close follow-up of action plans, goals, and more frequent general meetings. In the last quarter, four new young employees have started working at Scan Lamps VTA.

Among other things, they produce fire starters made from recycled newspapers and candle wax residues.

Forestia is attracting apprentices and collaborates with growth companies

A major challenge has been mobilizing young people to choose a vocational direction, especially in production technology. Therefore, we are happy that Forestia has attracted three new apprentices in this field. Together with our two new industrial mechanic apprentices, we have a total of eight apprentices at Forestia. These are the future production technicians, electricians, and industrial mechanics. This is something we are very proud of.

Forestia also contributes in regards of inclusion of people. Among other things, by providing youth with work practice through Våler Vekst AS. Våler Vekst AS is also the supplier of the canteen solution at Forestia. Here, great food is served, while providing work practice for the participants. This collaboration means that we also have a skilled employee from Ukraine who is language training in our canteen. We consider this a win-win situation and a collaboration we are proud of.

Outlook

Byggma monitors the housing market continuously, as this is an important arena for the company. We see lower activity in some areas of the market but are experiencing increased sales of new product launches introduced to the market. During the last 12 months there are sold 14,466 and commissioned 14,036 housing units in the market for newbuilds. The need for housing units has been increased to 30,000 which can lead to serious consequences for the housing supply if the trend continues. When sales and commissioning are below the need, pent up demand grows, and more housing units will be produced at a later point in time. Meanwhile, we are still experiencing high activity in commercial buildings and public buildings. The renovation and extension market expects to see growth as the market to a larger extent is characterised by the fact that more people don't change residence.

The vast increase in raw materials is the most important explanation for lower sales and commissioning of new housing units in 2023. Additionally, the interest rate development may affect the activity in the newbuild and the renovation and extension market. The conflict in Ukraine may also affect markets and factors as access to raw materials, energy, and increased prices on imported goods. However, we see more stable prices on timber going forward, which may increase sales and commissioning of new housing units increasing the demand for building materials. This is supported by the upward adjustment of the official number of housing units needed in Norway to 30,000 per year. This may increase the demand for Byggma ASAs products in the medium and long term.

We experience the same market development for Byggma's products outside Norway.

The market development has meant that the input factors for several of the segments are considerably more expensive. Byggma has implemented price increases during the last two years in order to maintain a reasonable margin.

Group management is continuously monitoring the situation to be able to implement cost reductions resulting from lower activity levels.

The board of directors is continuously considering various strategic adaptations and possibilities for alliances and transactions. The goal is to strengthen Byggma's position in the Nordic building materials market.

To ensure further growth, investment in the sale of the Group's products outside Norway is an important part of Byggma's strategy. Innovation and technological development are vital components of the Group's growth strategy, driven by a forceful determination to invest in essential equipment and expertise to maintain its position as a leading player in the Nordic building materials market in the future. Byggma Group is firmly focused on achieving efficiency, dominance, and profitability.

Byggma is well positioned for implementing its enhancement processes for maintaining its position as a leading, efficient producer of building products. Several major investments have been made to streamline our processes. New investments in equipment have also been decided and this will enable greater efficiency. In principle, Byggma will be directing its investments toward digitization and automation of the production processes, including the environment and sustainability.

As per 6 November 2024 Byggma ASA owns ca. 20.6 % of the share capital in Norske Skog ASA. Together with related party Drangsland Kapital AS, Byggma controls ca. 26.8% of the share capital and voting rights in Norske Skog.

Former CEO in Byggma, Geir Drangsland, is CEO in Norske Skog with effect from 1 September 2023. Simultaneously he resigned as Chairman of the board in Norske Skog. Conrad Lehne Drangsland assumed the role as CEO in Byggma, and Henry Gundersen assumed the role as CFO in Byggma, as of 1 April 2024.

It is an important part of Byggma's strategy to strengthen its position as a leading original brand manufacturer of environmentally friendly and sustainable products in the Nordic building materials market. It is the Board's opinion that completed adjustments and cost reductions entails that the group is well positioned and well prepared to tackle future challenges.

Byggma Group has a stable and highly competent work force and the supply for manpower is good. The group aims to be an attractive employer. We will continue to focus on ensuring that all employees in the Group can realize their human potential through their employment at Byggma.
