Gene Murtagh, Chief Executive of Kingspan commented:
"After a slow start to 2025 and despite geopolitical uncertainty in the period, Kingspan is pleased to have delivered record revenues and trading profits with a strong order book and a promising innovation pipeline as we enter H2.
Activity levels have firmed as the year progressed and conditions remain relatively stable, albeit with outlook varying by market and segment and supported by continuing structural growth opportunities. At a macro level, we expect Europe and LATAM to offer more attractive scope in the near term with the US delivering over the medium and longer term as we advance industry penetration and grow our share through innovation.
In the round we expect to deliver a full year trading profit of approximately €950m which would be 5% ahead of 2024. By year end 2025 we also expect to have delivered a 63% reduction in Group Green House Gas emissions relative to 2020 and to roll out an additional 100+ Planet Passionate initiatives, supporting our ongoing sustainability commitments, including sourcing 60% of Group energy requirements from renewable sources."

During the first half of 2025 global revenue reached €4.5bn. Trading profit and EPS hit €443m and 172 cent per share respectively. This was a record revenue and trading profit performance, despite the persistently unforgiving economic backdrop that prevails almost everywhere we operate. Trading Margin was 9.8% (H1 2024: 10.1%), although was ahead by 20bps on a like-for-like basis (before the anticipated dilution from Nordic Waterproofing).
Revenue at Insulated Building Envelopes was ahead by 8% and was up by 12% in Advanced Building Systems. Order intake volume in Insulated Building Envelopes was up by 5% and ahead by 10% in value at Advanced Building Systems.
Building upon the tremendous progress made in 2024, our world-leading Planet Passionate programme is pushing ahead with approximately one hundred new initiatives expected to be completed this year. Of particular note, we anticipate the use of direct renewable energy to exceed 60% of our energy requirements and the number of our large facilities achieving ISO 50001 to reach in excess of 45%.
We deployed €398.2m of capital in the first six months, €246.4m in acquisitions and €151.8m on capex projects. The lion's share of the acquisition investment related to an earn-out on the acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Steico last year plus the acquisition of an additional 10% this year. We also increased our controlling stake in Nordic Waterproofing to 99% and completed its delisting, a highly strategic piece of our longer-term building envelope strategy in Europe.
The operating environment is tough, and has been for some time, and we do not anticipate that changing any time soon. All of our investment decisions, whether that's advancing in some markets or geographies, or temporarily easing others, are being taken with this in mind. At a macro level, it is reasonable to think that Europe may offer more attractive scope in the near term given the relatively low base level of activity. The US remains firmly in our focus for the medium and longer term as we advance industry penetration and grow our share through innovation.
Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from our operations, including acquisitions and organic growth since 2020, are projected to be down by 63% in 2025. This significant reduction is driven by more than 500 global initiatives. In the first half of this year alone, we launched over 70 new initiatives across the business, further accelerating our progress. For full year 2025, we anticipate:
We have made significant progress in the development of our landmark project to decarbonise the space heating at one of our scale manufacturing facilities. Solar energy will power a co-located data centre, and the recovered heat will be utilised in our facility, displacing approximately one million litres of oil usage annually. We have also signed the world's first commercial agreement with RIFT to utilise novel Iron Fuel TechnologyTM to significantly reduce emissions from steam production. Progress continues on our supply chain decarbonisation journey, including signing three memoranda of understanding to support the future supply of lower-carbon steel.

In total, we invested €398.2m in the first six months. Last year, we acquired a 51% stake in Steico, the largest wood fibre insulation business in the world. Earlier this year we grew our ownership of Steico to 61% and made an earnout payment, cumulatively totalling €133.3m. We also increased our controlling stake in Nordic Waterproofing to 99% and completed its delisting. The total cost of this acquisition over all years, from the initial minority stakes to completion, was €446.9m (including debt acquired of €59.4m). Whilst not without its market challenges currently, it provides a superb platform for longer-term growth in Insulated Building Envelopes across the Nordics.
A number of bolt-on transactions were executed during the period, most prominently RXL in the US, a data solutions business in Advanced Building Systems. €151.8m of organic capex was invested in the period. This included progress in Insulated Building Envelopes at Oklahoma and Maryland on roofing product plants as well as insulated panel plants in Illinois (US), Germany, Paraguay, Australia and New Zealand. In Advanced Building Systems we commenced production at our new data solutions facility in Arkansas and plans are advancing for our next North American plant, as well as a manufacturing presence in Asia. Production also commenced on our sixth polycarbonate daylighting line in Kingscourt, Ireland.
Within Insulated Building Envelopes, production of PowerPanel® 2.0 commenced during the period at our Holywell, UK facility and early specification progress has been encouraging.
QuadCore® continues to advance well across the Group and we also plan a QuadCore® insulation board as part of our roofing proposition in the US. This will be unique in the market.
A research programme is well underway to develop a non-fibrous, non-combustible core using our propriety geopolymer. Initially this will target concrete-cored metal panels and perhaps mineral fibre panels at a later stage. Using similar technology, we plan to soon launch an A-Class acoustic solution from Troldtekt in Denmark. Building on our expertise at Synthesia in Spain, successful trials have been carried out to convert polyester textile waste to a polyol which can then be incorporated into advanced insulation. This is highly significant as it will provide a boundless source of circular raw material.
Across at Advanced Building Systems, our key development focus is the incorporation of liquid cooling technology into the rack level, as well as hot aisle containment (HAC) modules. This is critical for efficient management of energy in modern data centres, particularly those processing AI given the vastly increased heat load involved.
Our enhanced product integrity programme is deeply embedded across the Group. We are pleased to report that by the end of June 2025, 94 of our global sites were certified to ISO 37301. ISO 37301 is the leading global standard for establishing, developing and monitoring compliance systems. For 2025, we plan to have 105 sites certified by year end. In addition, 283 third party external products and system audits took place throughout the first half of 2025 compared to 246 in the first half of 2024.

This segment at Kingspan is the world leader in advanced energy saving solutions for roofs, walls and floors.
2024 and early 2025 have been milestone periods with the acquisitions of Nordic Waterproofing, a majority stake in Steico and IB Roofing. These developments broaden our insulation technology offering and considerably strengthen our roofing platforms in both Europe and the US. In total, acquisitions accounted for 10% of revenue growth in the period. Like for like trading margin was 10.3% in line with H1 2024. The reported trading margin was down 50bps due to the initial and seasonal dilutive impact of Nordic Waterproofing.
Geographically, the performance has been resilient against a backdrop of tough trading conditions virtually everywhere, especially Insulation markets in Europe. The UK and Nordics have been soft, France and Germany have been more stable, with some improvement evident in Iberia and Eastern Europe. In the US, the wider market and sentiment is somewhat subdued. That said, our overall project pipeline and new product offerings provide a level of reassurance for the period ahead. Across LATAM we continue to push ahead and are on target to achieve an annual revenue run-rate in excess of €550m by the end of 2025.
During the period we invested a total of €367.2m across the segment. In addition to the acquisitions highlighted above, significant projects are underway in Germany, the US, Australia and New Zealand largely focused on capacity expansion in markets where that is needed. Organically, excellent progress is being made in developing our US roofing plants in both Oklahoma and Maryland. Oklahoma will begin production of polyiso board early in 2026 followed by TPO membrane soon afterwards. PVC membrane and polyiso board production will follow in Maryland. These roofing facilities combined will have in excess of \$500m of revenue potential once completed. Work is also well underway in scoping out our market entry into the residential shingles market in the US. In all, we are very excited by the opportunity each of these platforms provide for us.

This segment in Kingspan is a global leader in bespoke critical infrastructure primarily focused on data centres, ventilation and daylighting.
Trading in the first half of 2025 has been positive with revenue ahead by 12% (+8% underlying) and profitability by 19% (+16% underlying). Sales of data infrastructure has been particularly strong in the US where, as well as in other parts of the globe, the orderbook continues to build. Intake across the entire segment is up by approximately 10% in value which we expect will accelerate in the second half.
By market, the US delivered a superb performance in total, driven in the main by the data related solutions. Daylighting had a steady trading period in North America and was a little more subdued in Europe. Asia Pacific had a positive outcome and the backlog continues to grow in South East Asia. Overall, the appetite for AI related data is growing at an extraordinary pace and so too is the potential for our business in this area. We expect to deliver strong growth through the second half and beyond.
From a development perspective the St Paul, Virginia plant opened last year and is already operating at full capacity. This year we commenced production in Arkansas where we expect to reach capacity by the turn of the year. The search for further plant expansion is well underway. Growth in South East Asia requires a local manufacturing presence and we are hopeful of starting production in Vietnam soon. In Europe, we have started production of air handling units primarily for data centres via the Sandometal acquisition in Portugal, which completed in recent weeks. In the US, the recent acquisition of RXL provides an exciting new springboard for our data offering on the US west coast.
Group revenue increased by 8% to €4,516.2m (H1 2024: €4,167.0m) and trading profit increased by 5% to €442.9m (H1 2024: €421.8m). This represents a 9% increase in sales and a 6% increase in trading profit on a constant currency basis. The Group's trading margin decreased by 30bps to 9.8% (H1 2024: 10.1%) reflecting in the main the initial impact of acquisitions year-on-year. The amortisation charge in respect of intangibles was €25.6m compared to €24.4m in the first half of 2024 reflecting acquisition activity year on year. Group operating profit increased by 5% to €417.3m (H1 2024: €397.4m) reflecting higher trading profit offsetting the higher amortisation charge in H1 2025. Profit after tax was €334.2m compared to €310.2m in the first half of 2024. Basic EPS for the period was 172.1 cent, representing an increase of 4% on the first half of 2024 (H1 2024: 165.9 cent). The Group's underlying sales and trading profit performance by segment are set out below:
| Sales | Underlying | Currency | Acquisition | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insulated Building Envelopes |
-0.8% | -1.0% | +9.5% | +7.7% |
| Advanced Building Systems | +8.4% | -0.7% | +4.0% | +11.7% |
| Group | +0.7% | -0.9% | +8.6% | +8.4% |
The Group's trading profit measure is earnings before interest, tax, amortisation of intangibles and share of associates' profit after tax:
| Trading Profit | Underlying | Currency | Acquisition | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insulated Building Envelopes |
-0.7% | -0.8% | +4.1% | +2.6% |
| Advanced Building Systems | +16.0% | -0.8% | +3.6% | +18.8% |
| Group | +1.8% | -0.8% | +4.0% | +5.0% |
Finance costs for the period were lower than the same period last year at €17.9m (H1 2024: €20.9m). Finance costs include a non-cash charge of €0.4m (H1 2024: €0.4m) relating to the Group's defined benefit pension schemes and a one-off credit of €15.1m was recorded due to change in the fair value of deferred contingent consideration (H1 2024: charge of €2.0m). Lease interest of €4.2m was recorded during the period (H1 2024: €3.4m). The Group's net interest expense on borrowings (bank and loan notes) in the first half of 2025 was €28.1m compared to €18.4m in the same period in 2024. This increase in net interest expense was a result of the higher average levels of debt due to development activity and the issuance of Kingspan's debut public bond in October 2024.

Working capital on 30 June 2025 was €1,250.0m (31 December 2024: €1,027.2m), an increase of €222.8m (€288.4m excluding acquisition and foreign exchange impact) in the period. This reflects normal seasonality and the average working capital to sales percentage increasing to 13.1% compared with 11.9% at the end of H1 2024. The percentage can be somewhat variable due to timing issues and is expected to be in line with prior year by year end.
Net debt increased by €342.2m during the first half of the year to €1,915.2m (31 December 2024: €1,573.0m). The movement in debt is analysed in the table below:

The primary method of pension provision for current employees is by way of defined contribution arrangements. The Group has three legacy defined benefit schemes in the UK which are closed to new members and to future accrual. In addition, the Group has a number of smaller defined benefit pension liabilities in Mainland Europe. The net aggregate pension liability in respect of all schemes and obligations was €39.1m at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: €37.5m).
The tax charge for the first half of the year was €65.8m (H1 2024: €66.3m) which represents an effective tax rate of 16.5% on profit before tax (H1 2024: 17.6%).
The Group incurred €246.4m on acquisitions during the period (H1 2024: €549.9m).
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 26.3 cent (H1 2024: 26.3 cent) payable on 10 October 2025 to shareholders on the register on the record date of 5 September 2025.
The Group funds itself through a combination of equity and debt. Debt is funded through a combination of public bond debt, syndicated bank facilities, and private placement loan notes. The principal syndicated facility is a green revolving credit facility of €800m entered into in May 2021 with a committed term to May 2028. There were no drawings on this facility at period end.
In addition, as part of the Group's longer-term capital structure, the Group has total private placement loan notes of €1,477m (H1 2024: €1,558m) and a public bond issuance of €750m (H1 2024: €nil).
The weighted average maturity of all drawn debt facilities is 4.6 years (H1 2024: 3.8 years).
As well as annual free cashflow generation, the Group has significant available undrawn facilities and cash which provide appropriate headroom for operational requirements and development funding. Total available headroom was €1,381m at 30 June 2025 (H1 2024: €1,476m).
There were no changes in related party transactions from the 2024 Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first half of the year.
Details of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group can be found in the 2024 Annual Report. These risks, namely volatility in the macro environment, failure to innovate, product failure, business interruption (including IT continuity), climate change, credit risks and credit control, talent development and retention, fraud and cybercrime, acquisition and integration of new businesses, health & safety, and laws and regulations remain the most likely to affect the Group in the second half of the current year. The Group actively manages these and all other risks through its control and risk management processes. We will continue to actively assess changes in the external environment on events which could change our risk assessment and profile.
The first half of the year was characterised by a slow start and activity firmed up somewhat as we moved through the half year. Conditions are relatively stable at present, with Western Europe solid for the most part, and Central and Eastern Europe has seen some improvement recently. The US is more tentative than it has been, and in contrast to that LATAM is pushing ahead at an encouraging pace.
Insulated Building Envelopes continues to benefit strongly from structural growth, as is evidenced by our performance in this environment, as clients seek highly efficient methods of construction from Kingspan's unrivalled spectrum. Our Advanced Building Systems business is capitalising on the tech sector as it seeks out the best of breed building solutions worldwide.
As we move into the second half of the year the Group's backlog is higher overall than at the same point last year which should support the second half. The exchange rate environment has moved significantly since the turn of the year, a likely factor in earnings translation in the second half.
Considering the above we can reasonably expect to deliver a full year trading profit of approximately €950m which would be 5% ahead of 2024.

forming part of the financial statements
Kingspan Group plc ("the Company") is a public limited company registered and domiciled in Ireland.
The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group") are engaged in the manufacture and delivery of high-performance insulation, building envelope, and integrated building systems solutions, including digital infrastructure, daylighting and ventilation, and water management technologies.
The financial information presented in the half-yearly report does not represent full statutory accounts. Full statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, upon which the auditors have given an unqualified audit report, are available on the Group's website (www.kingspan.com).
This half-yearly financial report is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
IFRS does not define certain Income Statement headings. For clarity, the following are the definitions as applied by the Group:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("the Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
The Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 8 August 2025.
The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in the Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The following amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for the Group from 1 January 2025 and do not have a material effect on the results or financial position of the Group:
Effective Date – periods beginning on or after
Effective Date – periods
Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability 1 January 2025
There are a number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not been applied in preparing these Interim Financial Statements. These new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are either not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements or are still under assessment by the Group. The principal new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are as follows:
beginning on or after Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) 1 January 2026 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 1 January 2026 Annual Improvements Volume 11 1 January 2026 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 January 2027* IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures 1 January 2027*
* Not EU endorsed
The preparation of Interim Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Interim Financial Statements are available on the Group's website (www.kingspan.com).
The directors have reviewed forecasts and projected cash flows for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of these Interim Financial Statements, and considered its net debt position, available committed banking facilities and other relevant information including the economic conditions currently affecting the building environment generally. On the basis of this review, the directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Interim Financial Statements.
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro which is the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group.
Results and cash flows of foreign subsidiary undertakings have been translated into Euro at the average exchange rates for the period, as these approximate the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The related assets and liabilities have been translated at the closing rates of exchange applicable at the end of the reporting period.
The following significant exchange rates were applied during the period:
| Average rate | Closing rate | |||||||

In identifying the Group's operating segments, management based its decision on the product supplied by each segment and the fact that each segment is managed and reported separately to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer perform the function of the CODM. These operating segments are monitored, and strategic decisions are made on the basis of segment operating results.
During the period, the Group revised its operating segment structure to reflect material developments in its 'Completing the Envelope' strategy and to enhance alignment with how the business is managed, reviewed, and resourced by the CODM. The updated structure introduces two distinct operating segments, Insulated Building Envelopes and Advanced Building Systems, each encompassing integrated product platforms with clearly defined commercial, operational, and strategic profiles. This change follows a period of significant transformation across the Group, including major acquisitions, strategic investment in adjacent technologies, and increased cross-divisional integration. The revised segmental presentation provides a more accurate and meaningful view of performance and resource allocation in line with the Group's longterm growth strategy, innovation priorities, and commitment to delivering fully integrated, highperformance building solutions. The revised reporting structure reflects the internal reporting reviewed by the CODM and used for decision making purposes. Comparative figures for prior periods have been restated on a consistent basis to ensure like-for-like comparability.
The Group has the following two reportable segments:
| Insulated Building Envelopes |
Manufacture of high-performance building solutions for energy efficient roofs, walls and floors in both new and renovation applications in all building types. |
|---|---|
| Advanced Building Systems |
Manufacture of bespoke critical infrastructure primarily focused on energy efficient lighting, airflow, cooling and ventilation solutions for both new and renovation applications in commercial buildings and data centres. |

Net debt, which is an Alternative Performance Measure, is stated net of interest rate and currency hedge asset of €3.2m (31 December 2024: asset of €4.6m) which relate to hedges of debt. Foreign currency derivative liability of €0.1m (31 December 2024: asset of €0.1m), which are used for transactional hedging, are not included in the definition of net debt. Lease liabilities recognised due to the implementation of IFRS 16 and deferred contingent consideration have also been excluded from the calculation of net debt which is consistent with the terms and conditions of the covenants as set out in the Group's external borrowing arrangements.

The Group's private placement loan notes of €1,476.5m (31 December 2024: €1,410.1m) have a weighted average maturity of 4.3 years (31 December 2024: 4.5 years). The Group's public bond €750m (31 December 2024: €750m) has a maturity date of October 2031.
Included in cash at bank and in hand are overdrawn positions of €1,736.9m (30 June 2024: €1,801.3m). These balances form part of a notional cash pool arrangement and are netted against cash balances of €1,761.2m (30 June 2024: €1,804.2m). There is legal right of offset between these balances and the balances are physically settled on a regular basis.
Financial instruments recognised at fair value are analysed between those based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), those involving inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and those involving inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (Level 3).

All derivatives entered into by the Group are included in Level 2 and consist of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.
Where derivatives are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets, the Group uses the closing price at the reporting date. Normally, the derivatives entered into by the Group are not traded in active markets. The fair values of these contracts are estimated using a valuation technique that maximises the use of observable market inputs, e.g. foreign exchange and interest rates.
Deferred contingent consideration is included in Level 3. The valuation methodology for estimating the fair value of deferred contingent consideration is consistent with 31 December 2024 and is set out in notes 19 and 20 of the 2024 Annual Report. The contingent element is measured on a series of trading performance targets and is adjusted by the application of a range of outcomes and associated probabilities.
During the period ended 30 June 2025, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, no reclassifications and no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of the financial instruments.
Except as detailed below, it is considered that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the Interim Financial Statements approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the private placement notes and public bonds, which are Level 2 financial instruments, are derived by using observable market data, principally the relevant interest rates.

Included in the amount paid during the period was a combined payment of €133.3 million relating to the January 2024 acquisition of a 51% controlling shareholding in Steico. This comprised the settlement of deferred contingent consideration and the exercise of a put option to acquire an additional 10.1% shareholding previously held by a non-controlling interest.
For each acquisition for which deferred contingent consideration has been provided, an annual review takes place to evaluate if the payment conditions are likely to be met. For the purposes of the fair value assessments all of the put option liabilities are valued using the option price formula in the shareholder's agreement and the most recent financial projections. These are classified as unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements and the quantitative sensitivity analysis are shown in the table below:
| Type | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs |
Sensitivity of the input to the fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deferred contingent consideration |
Discounted cashflow method The net present value of the expected payment is calculated by using a risk adjusted discount rate where material. Discounting has not been applied in the current period as it is not deemed to be material. The expected payments are valued using the earn out formula in the shareholders' agreement and the most recent financial projections. |
• Forecast performance in excess of a predetermined base target. |
• A 5% increase in the assumed profitability of the acquired entities would result in an increase in the fair value of the deferred contingent consideration of €0.1m. |
| Put option liabilities |
Discounted cashflow method The net present value of the expected payment is calculated by using a risk adjusted discount rate. The expected payments are valued using the option price formula in the shareholders' agreement and the most recent financial projections. |
• • |
Risk adjusted discount rates of between 2.8% and 34.5%. EBITDA multiples of between 5.0 and 9.3 |
• • |
A 10% decrease in the risk adjusted discount rate would result in an increase in the fair value of the put option liabilities of €5.2m. A 5% increase in the assumed profitability of the acquirees would result in an increase in the fair value of the put option liabilities of €17.2m. |

In the post-acquisition period to 30 June 2025, the businesses acquired in the current period contributed total revenue of €15.3m and trading profit of €2.2m to the Group's results.
The valuation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities recently acquired is still in progress due to the relative size of the acquisitions and the timing of the transactions. The initial assignment of fair values to identifiable net assets acquired has therefore been performed on a provisional basis.
In March 2021, the Group notified the European Commission (EC) of its plan to acquire Trimo, architekturne rešitve, d.o.o. ("Trimo"). In April 2021, the EC began an in-depth review of the transaction under the EU Merger Regulation ("EUMR"). After an extensive process, the EC issued a Statement of Objections in March 2022, suggesting the acquisition could impact competition in certain EU building materials markets. The transaction was abandoned in April 2022.
In November 2022, the EC opened an investigation to determine whether Kingspan supplied incorrect or misleading information during the EUMR proceedings. The Group received a Statement of Objections from the EC on 19 March 2024, alleging that, as a preliminary view, the Group supplied incorrect or misleading information during the EUMR proceedings related to the abandoned Trimo acquisition. The Group has stated publicly that it disagrees with the EC's preliminary views and that it fully cooperated with the EC.
The Group filed a comprehensive rebuttal response to the EC's Statement of Objections in August 2024 and subsequently attended an oral hearing on the matter in November 2024. Since the oral hearing, the Group has been engaged in ongoing case correspondence.
While the EC can impose fines up to 1% of consolidated turnover for an Article 14(1) EUMR breach, there are few precedent cases, making it uncertain what the outcome or potential fine might be. The Group has not recognised a provision for a potential fine on the basis that a present obligation does not exist. Moreover, any potential fine cannot be measured with sufficient reliability and it would not be practical to do so.
There is no legal deadline for the EC to complete their proceedings. A final decision from the EC is not expected until 2026, and the Group will have the right to appeal the decision via the European judicial system. In order to appeal, the Group may be required to provisionally pay any fine, or provide a bank guarantee in that amount. The outcome of the EC's final decision, or any subsequent appeal by the Group of an adverse finding by the EC, is uncertain.
In 2017, a subsidiary of the Group became a core participant of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry (the "Inquiry"), which was established to examine the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire at Grenfell Tower in London, United Kingdom on 14 June 2017. While the Group's subsidiary had no role in the design of the cladding system on Grenfell Tower, the Group's K15 product (constituting approximately 5% of the insulation on the tower) was misused without the Group's knowledge in an unsafe and non-compliant cladding system on the exterior of the building.
The Inquiry published its Phase 2 report on 4 September 2024 (the "Phase 2 Report"), which found that the primary cause of the spread of the fire was the PE ACM cladding panels, which were not manufactured by the Group. Although not found by the Inquiry to be causative of the tragedy, the Group has acknowledged certain historical failings that occurred in part of the business of the relevant subsidiary, which the Group has since comprehensively addressed. There can be no assurance that the findings of the Inquiry, negative press or industry sentiment following the Inquiry, will not negatively impact the Group or lead to the Group being the subject of additional investigations, litigation, regulatory responses or other legal proceedings. The Group has not recognised a provision for any liabilities that may arise on the basis that a present obligation does not exist. Any potential liabilities cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, and it would not be practicable to do so.
191,718 (H1 2024: 269,214) treasury shares were re-issued as a result of vested options arising from the Group's share options schemes (see the 2024 Annual Report for full details of the Group's share option schemes).
Options were exercised at an average price of €0.13 per option.
Other than the acquisitions referenced in Note 16, there were no individually significant events or transactions in the period which contributed to material changes in the Statement of Financial Position.
There were no changes in related party transactions from the 2024 Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first half of the year.
There have been no material events subsequent to 30 June 2025 which would require adjustment to, or disclosure in this report.
The Group uses a number of metrics, which are non-IFRS measures, to monitor the performance of its operations.
The Group believes that these metrics assist investors in evaluating the performance of the underlying business. Given that these metrics are regularly used by management, they also give the investor an insight into how Group management review and monitor the business on an ongoing basis.
The principal APMs used by the Group are defined as follows:
This comprises the operating profit as reported in the Income Statement before intangible asset amortisation. This equates to the Earnings Before Interest, Tax and Amortisation ("EBITA") of the Group. Trading profit is used by management as it excludes items which may hinder year on year comparisons.
