BEWI - Results for the fourth quarter of 2021

BEWI, a leading provider of packaging, components, and insulation solutions,

today reported its results for the fourth quarter of 2021.

BEWI recorded net sales of 208.2 million euro for the fourth quarter of 2021,

compared to 130.2 million euro for the same quarter last year, corresponding to

an increase of 60 per cent, of which 43 percentage points are organic growth

driven by higher volumes and sales prices following strong demand. Adjusted

EBITDA came in at 26.4 million euro for the quarter, up from EUR 16.4 million

for the fourth quarter last year. The company's upstream segment, RAW, had a

positive margin development due to the higher GAP recorded (i.e., styrene gross

profit), while margins in the downstream segments are lower than last year, due

to the higher cost of the raw material.

"We are very pleased with the results for the quarter and for the full year of

2021, driven by solid operational performance, and continued strong demand in

our markets. On top of this, we managed to successfully complete a record-high

number of transactions throughout the year in line with our strategy," says

Christian Bekken, CEO of BEWI ASA.

For the full year, revenues ended at 748.2 million euro, representing 62 per

cent growth, and posting an EBITDA of 109.0 million euro, up from 65.0 million

euro for 2020.

In the fourth quarter, BEWI received acceptance of its offer to acquire all

shares in the packaging and insulation company Jackon Holding. Like BEWI, Jackon

also demonstrated a solid and profitable growth for 2021, with a 28 per cent

growth in revenues and a 25 increase in EBITDA. Combined, the two companies

recorded revenues of 1,146 million euro and an adjusted EBITDA of 152 million

euro for 2021. The work to complete the transaction is progressing well,

although still subject to regulatory approvals.

Further, BEWI completed the acquisitions of the Belgian insulation company

Kemisol and the UK-based recycling company Volker Gruppe in the fourth quarter,

in line with the company's strategy to strengthen its market position in the

important Benelux region and its recycling activities respectively.

Going forward, BEWI expects a continued stable or strong demand in its key

markets, despite challenging market conditions in some end-markets, including

shortage and/ or delay in deliveries of components, as well as cost inflation on

operational costs. EPS prices are expected to remain at high levels, also

implying a high GAP.

Based on the company's financial position, investment plans and growth

ambitions, the board of directors of BEWI proposes to the general meeting to pay

a dividend of NOK 1.10 per share for the financial year of 2021. The proposal is

line with the company's dividend policy to pay out 30 to 50 per cent of net

profit.
