HIGHLIGHTS

Sales revenue and profit

Sales revenue in Q4 2022 decreased from NOK 631.9 million in Q4 2021 to NOK 559.5 million, corresponding to a decrease of 11.5%. Year to date, sales revenue increased from NOK 2,344.3 million in 2021 to NOK 2,508.2 million in 2022. Profit before tax decreased from NOK 65.9 million in Q4 2021 to NOK 13.4 million in Q4 2022. Year to date, profit before tax increased from NOK 224.1 million in 2021 to NOK 300.6 million in 2022. The profit for 2022 contains a non-recurring gain on a forward contract related to the investment in shares in Norske Skog ASA of NOK 76.5 million.

Norske Skog ASA

Byggma ASA and its related party Drangsland Kapital AS have invested ca. NOK 1,400.0 million in Norske Skog ASA, corresponding to ca. 23.6% of the share capital. There are several synergy effects between Norske Skog and Byggma regarding process equipment, raw materials, logistics, product development and environment.

Sale of industrial property

Byggma has sold the two real estate companies, Birkeland Eiendom AS and Masonite Fastighet AB. The property value was NOK 234.0 million.

Solid sales and profit growth in the Windows segment

The Windows segment increased its sales from NOK 69.5 million in Q4 2021 to NOK 80.1 million in Q4 2022, corresponding to a growth of 15.3%. Operating profit increased from NOK 3.5 million in Q4 2021 to NOK 6.1 million in Q4 2022.

Solid sales and profit growth in the Beams segment

The Beams segment increased its sales from NOK 417.5 million in 2021 to NOK 456.9 million in 2022, corresponding to a growth of 9.4%. Operating profit increased from NOK 54.6 million in 2021 to NOK 70.4 million in 2022.

New distribution hub in Forestia

Forestia has invested NOK 40.0 million in a 4,000 m2 distribution hub in Braskereidfoss. Parallelly, the merger between AS Byggform and Forestia AS has been decided and Byggforms inventory will be transferred to the hub. We believe it will be value enhancing for Forestia and its customers that both Byggform and Forestia products can be ordered simultaneously and that chipboard, OSB- and plywood boards can be delivered together.

Product innovation

Our product launches Forestia Premium Ceiling, Smartpanel Wetwall and Huntonit Pro Wall are still experiencing increasing sales in the market. These decorative interior

products have high unit prices, and the increasing sale of these products are consequently increasing the profitability for 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.

Smartpanel Wetwall

Smartpanel has in 2022 entered into cooperation agreements with several building materials chains for Smartpanel Wetwall. Exhibitions in stores will be built and the sale is expected to increase going forward. Byggma has received approval to use Huntonit panels as core in Smartpanel Wetwall. This very environmentally friendly, moist resistant and strong Huntonit core gives Smartpanel cost leadership, price leadership and will be more environmentally friendly compared to other suppliers of wet room wall panels. Byggma's ambition is to achieve a 30% market share in the years to come.

Business transfer

With effect from 31 December 2022 the department for I-Beams at Huntonit in Vennesla is transferred from Huntonit AS to Masonite Beams AS. With this, I-Beams from Masonite Beams AS Vennesla branch and Grubhei branch will belong to the same legal entity and appear more clearly toward the customers in Norway.

Forestia Carbon Sink

Forestia has for a period been in dialogue with Innovasjon Norge to receive grants to support the building of a plant for reception and cleaning of wood waste to be reused 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 the Board of Directors of Innovasjon Norge had resolved to grant Forestia NOK 80 million for this project. This project will be value enhancing for Forestia. It will also make the woodchip boards from Forestia even more circular because the wood waste will be material recycled into new boards and sequestrate CO2 instead of energy recovered and release CO2 into the atmosphere through combustion.

SMARTPANEL WETWALL PRODUCTION

Results

The Byggma Group experienced stagnation in revenues in Q4 2022. In Q4, revenues amounted to NOK 559.5 million, representing a decrease of NOK 72.4 million from Q4 2021. Year to date, sales increased from NOK 2,344.3 million in 2021 to NOK 2,508.2 million in 2022.

Profit before tax increased from NOK 224.1 million in Q4 2021 to NOK 300.6 million in the same period for 2022. The profit for 2022 contains a non-recurring gain on a forward contract related to the investment in shares in Norske Skog ASA of NOK 76.5 million.

Both in Norway and our export markets we see weakened economic conditions for the building materials market. Inflation and increased interest rates have reduced the activity level in Q4 2022. Among other things, sale and commissioning of new housing unites decreased significantly in Q4 2022 compared to the same period last year. We are implementing two important measures to mitigate the financial effects of this market development. The first measure is increased marketing regarding our innovative products Huntonit Pro Wall, Forestia Premium Ceiling, Smartpanel Wetwall and Smart Veneer. This will generate increased revenues to replace the decrease on conventional revenue following the lower demand for our base products. The second measure is to reduce cost to compensate for lower gross profits due to lower sales.

This quarter I am especially happy for the development in the segments Beams and Windows. Windows have experienced vast growth in both sales and profitability and Beams have experienced vast growth in profitability. For Masonite Beams, this confirms that more customers recognise the I-Beams advantages compared to traditional massive beams regarding weight, strength, stability and the environment. Two important drivers for Uldal windows are that we can operate with very short lead times to our customers and that we can offer and deliver our in-house produced sliding doors together with the windows.

I am absolutely delighted with the results achieved. We are lucky to have many skilled, competent, and motivated people who are performing at levels that far exceed my expectations. My heartfelt thanks to you all! Your dedication to the job is greatly appreciated.

Brand building and positioning

Byggma is an original brand manufacturer. Several of our brands have been extensively adopted by the building materials industry over many years. This enhances predictability, recognition, and security, all of which are important drivers in customers preferring to purchase Byggma products.

Our overall position as one of the leading

suppliers of building materials solutions has strengthened throughout the year. A situation that I find heartening to say the least, but also testifies to that our jobs are secure. The invigorative

trend we are seeing also confirms that we are doing things right in all areas of the company.

Innovation

Every product has a life cycle. Byggma currently has many products that are well-established in the market. In order to ensure a stable product portfolio, we are constantly focused on product development and innovation. Product improvements and new launches have enabled us to achieve increased revenue and profitability in recent years. An achievement we have also repeated this year. Innovation and product development are high priorities in our strategy and will continue to be so in the future.

Sustainability / ESG

Forests sequestrates significant amounts of carbon and through wise management of this resource, we are responsibly creating worthy products that store carbon for many decades. In several instances, the contributions we make to carbon storage in our operations significantly outweigh the effect from the operations' carbon footprint.

At Byggma, we have a tradition of focusing our work on productivity and continuous improvement. Sustainability is in many ways a further development of this work. In terms of sustainability and through the involvement of our committed team of employees and partners, we will exploit resources efficiently, while also securing jobs and the future of a company that is a source of value creation for society in general.

I would like to take this opportunity to mention a couple of vital ESG projects that we have worked with in Q4 2022.

Packaging

The factories are constantly working to improve sustainability of our products' packaging/wrapping in order to reduce weight transported and waste on construction sites. In Q4 Forestia has optimised the packaging facility so that more of the products can be packed in recyclable containerboard instead of particle board. The results are positive and a conclusion and implementation of a permanent solution is expected to be reached in 2023.

Logistics

The new warehouse and logistic hub at Forestia was completed in Q4 2022. This made it possible to move the inventory from Byggform to Forestia at Braskereidfoss. Byggform is formally merged into Forestia with effect from 1 January 2023 and the new centre will make Forestia a logistic hub for wood based boards that will make a difference regarding transportation optimisation. The project is welcomed by our customers and will give environmental and financial advantages for our customers and Byggma.

My thanks to each and every one of you at Byggma for your efforts in 2022. My wish is for everyone to thrive here and for each of you to realise your personal potential through your role in the Byggma Group.

Best regards

Geir Drangsland, Group CEO

SUSTAINABILITY / ESG ¹⁵

Forests bind significant amounts of carbon 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 Q4 2022.

FORESTIA

Packaging

Our products must be packaged in a way that secures that they arrive undamaged at our customers sites with normal handling. Packaging is at the same time a problem in the form of waste at building sites and extra weight to be transported.

HANDLING AT GEITANGER BYGG, BERGEN

PANELS RETURNED TO FORESTIA. FIRST TEST WITH GOOD RESULTS AND NO DAMAGE ON THE PRODUCTS.

In Q4, Forestia has continued its project concerning less use of particle boards as packaging. In cooperation with the containerboard vendor we have found the material best suited for the task and that fits inn our packaging facility. We deliver products to Northern Europe and it is important to consider all strains the products can face

during transportation including handling by the customer. In Q4 the profiling is decided and tests at the packaging facility has been performed. The goal is to introduce containerboard on selected products in Q1 2023.

Logistics

The new logistics hub at Forestia was completed in Q4. The enabled us to move the inventory from Byggform to Forestia at Braskereidfoss. Byggform was merged with Forestia in 2023 and the new hub will be important regarding bulk loading, transportation optimisation and to secure that we reach satisfactory fill grade on trucks going out of Forestia. This will reduce emissions from transportation, and it is a good project financially.

HUNTONIT AS

Environmentally friendly Huntonit Sutak

Huntonit has developed a new production method that enables us to stop using asphalt in our suspended ceiling plates. The method uses an environmentally friendly wax in the core material directly in the production line in a way that secures that the products sustains the excellent technical capabilities.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, the product will help us achieve advantages related to more efficient production method and avoiding unnecessary logistics and refining.

The fact that we with this improved product don't need to store asphalt is also positive regarding the companies business risk in addition to the advantages for the environment.

The product is includes in Sintef's technical approval TG 2006.

OUTLOOK

Byggma monitors the housing market continuously, as this is an important arena for the company. We see somewhat lower activity in some areas of the market but are experiencing increased sale of new product launches introduced to the market. Total number of housing units sold in 2022 was 19,371 which is 26% below 2021. The variation in the sale in the market in Q4 may cause lower activity in H1 2023. The largest reduction in units related to apartments which is not the main market for Byggma. Total commissioned units in 2022 was 23,199 units which is 9% below 2021. Small houses is down ca. 17%. The need for housing units have been increased to 29 000 which can lead to serious consequences for the housing supply if the trend continues leading to pent up demand. Meanwhile, we are still experiencing high activity in commercial buildings and public buildings. The renovation and extension market is expected to be stable and on the same level as 2021.

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 a price decrease 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 29.000 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 with effect from 1 October 2022 in order to maintain a reasonable margin.

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

In order 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 digitisation and automation of the production processes, including the environment and sustainability.

As per 22 February 2022 Byggma ASA owns ca. 18,0 % of the share capital in Norske Skog ASA. Together with related party Drangsland Kapital AS, Byggma ASA controls ca. 23.6% of the shares in Norske Skog ASA.

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.

Byggma Group aims to be an attractive employer. We will continue to focus on ensuring that all employees in the Group can realise their human potential through their employment at Byggma.

This means that the property is measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and that changes in fair value is booked under the Financial Statement Line Item (FSLI) "Other gains/losses" in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. The property is rented out to an external tenant. Rental income in 2022 was NOK 12.4 million booked on the FSLI "Other operating revenues". The lease agreement expires in 2027 and the tenant has an option to prolong the lease with another 5 years thereafter. Towards 2027 the lease is adjusted with 50% of CPI and 100% av CPI in the option period.

Booked value in the consolidated balance sheet as per 31 December 2022 is NOK 175 million, while the value as per 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 was NOK 195 million. The reductuion in value in Q3 2022 is due to the increased yield in the market for commercial real estate. Fair value is determined by an external third party through a value assessment.

Following the change in financial reporting principle, comparison numbers for 2021 have been adjusted to be comparable with 2022 where the property is measured at fair value. With effect from Q4 2022 the FSLI Tangible fixed assets as per 31 December 2021 is NOK 821,0 compared to NOK 926.5 in previously published reports, because the investment property now is reported at a seperate FSLI in the balance sheet. "Total equity" and "Deferred tax" as per 31 December 2021 are increased with NOK 69,9 million and NOK 19.7 million respectively compared to previously published reports. Because the property is an investment property it shall not be depreciated. Therefore, the consolidated profit for 2021 is increased with NOK 2.3 million (reversal of previously booked depreciation adjusted for tax effect) in Q4 2022 compared to previously published reports.
