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 2025 is NOK 2.600 million and the Group has around 660 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

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 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 rose from NOK 1,089.9 million in 2024 to NOK 1,228.4 million in 2025, reflecting an 12.7 % increase. The adjusted operating profit increased from NOK 60.7 million in first half of 2024 to NOK 73.0 million in first half of 2025.

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 15,286 and 14,146 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 quarter.

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 second quarter of 2025, the Lighting segment reported sales revenue of NOK 23.2 million, up from NOK 20.9 million in the same period last year, and an operating profit of NOK -2.0 million, compared to NOK 3.0 million in the same period last year. This represents a sales growth of 10,4% for the quarter. Aneta Lighting exemplifies how to outperform the market by working smarter and more effectively than the competition.

Strong Growth in the UK Market

In 2024, Byggma established Masonite Beams Ltd to manage I-beam sales in the UK with a dedicated local sales team. The initiative has been well received, and in Q2 2025, sales to the UK rose by 81.5% year-over-year, confirming strong market alignment. Continued growth in sales and profitability is expected

Norske Skog ASA

As of 26 August 2025, Byggma ASA and its related party Drangsland Kapital AS owns 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. This initiative not only adds significant value for Forestia and its customers but also provides an environmental benefit through more efficient transportation of goods. In first half of 2025, we achieved a sales growth of 47.2% in plywood and OSB boards compared to 2024. This substantial increase confirms the attractiveness and effectiveness of the solutions we offer to our customers

Product innovation

Our product launches Forestia Premium Ceiling, Forestia Ergospon and Huntonit Proff Vegg 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

In 2025, Byggma reported for the first time in accordance with the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), positioning itself as one of the few companies in the Nordic building materials industry to do so. This milestone reflects our commitment to transparency and responsible business practices. Through the CSRD process, we have conducted a double materiality assessment and identified key impacts, risks, and opportunities across our value chain. These insights form the foundation for our updated sustainability strategy and action plans, aimed at enhancing our long-term competitiveness. The full report is available on Byggma's website. 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, and Minister of Trade and Industry, 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 historical low construction activity. This is a clear demonstration of resilience and attests to the fact that all employees at Byggma are aware of their responsibilities. They roll up their sleeves and exert extra effort when needed. We should take pride in this accomplishment!

Huntonit Celebrates 75 Years. In 2025, Huntonit AS marks its 75th anniversary. The milestone was celebrated on May 12th with a gathering that included current and former employees, the Mayor of Vennesla, and various partners.

The celebration coincided with the inauguration of a new building extension, which will house a state-of-the-art painting line. This investment will enhance production efficiency and flexibility at Huntonit, enabling the company to offer a broader range of products than before.

The new facility stands as a flagship building for the Byggma Group. Its structure features Ibeams from Masonite Beams, windows from Uldal, lighting from Aneta Lighting, chipboard from Forestia, and both interior and exterior walls in Huntonit panels.

This investment is part of a series of strategic initiatives aimed at securing long-term operations and profitability. Over the past 75 years, the factory has undergone multiple expansions and renovations. While dozens of fiberboard factories once operated across the Nordics during the 20th century, Huntonit remains the sole survivor. This is not due to luck, but to the organization's dedication, strong culture, and ability to implement necessary changes.

In recent years, the company has faced significant challenges, including soaring energy and timber prices, as well as historically low demand for building materials due to a decline in housing construction across the Nordics. Production and sales have never been costlier or lower than they are today. These conditions must change to ensure the survival of the company and the preservation of jobs.

The way forward. While we cannot control the market, we can manage our priorities and actions to outperform the market and increase our market share. Although significantly fewer homes are currently being built in the Nordic region than are needed, a theoretical order backlog is forming, necessitating the construction of even more homes in the coming period to catch up. In recent months, the number of housing units sold has exceeded the number of housing units started, which is often a leading indicator that construction activity will increase in the future. There are growing signs that the market has bottomed out, but predicting the speed of normalization remains challenging. As the market gradually recovers, we are committed to improving ourselves and preparing our businesses for the anticipated increase in demand.

At Byggma, we have excellent machinery and equipment, but our most valuable resource is our people. Without your dedication, Byggma would not hold the position it does today. Thank you for your efforts so far in 2025. I look forward to continuing our work together in the future!

Best regards

Conrad Lehne Drangsland Chief Executive Officer

Sustainability

We are committed to the sustainable management of forests, ensuring that they are stewarded in a way that endures across generations. Forests capture significant amounts of carbon, and for us, responsible management of this resource means maximizing efficiency and creating highquality products that store carbon for decades.

At Byggma, we have a long-standing tradition of focusing on productivity and continuous improvement. Sustainability is a natural part of this effort. Through active engagement with our employees and partners, we ensure efficient resource utilization and foster innovation—while also securing jobs and building a business that generates value for society.

The installation of a new shrink film machine will result in a significant reduction in plastic usage

At Huntonit, a new shrink fil machine is being installed in the third quarter.

This upgrade enables us to reduce plastic thickness from the current 30 microns to 23 microns in the initial phase, with a target of further reduction down to 18 microns. The machine has already been successfully tested with 18-microns plastic.

Once fully implemented, the reduction in plastic thickness could result in annual savings of up to 100 tons of plastic in a typical year. Reducing plastic consumption is an important step in our efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.

Optimizing Production Across Our Facilities

A paint production line has been relocated from Smartpanel to Huntonit, without impacting Smartpanel's production capacity, which has been maintained through efficient restructuring. This change strengthens our value chain and is expected to deliver energy savings at Smartpanel. It enhances both logistics and sustainability, without negatively affecting customer deliveries.

Launching Production of EI30 Fire-Resistant Windows with Triple-Glazed Glass

As residential units are built closer together, the demand for fire-resistant windows continues to grow. With today's triple-glazed glass technology, we can now offer these windows with strong thermal performance (low U-value).

Starting from week 31, we commenced production of EI30 fire-resistant windows featuring tripleglazed glass.

Employee Development and Focus on Lean Practices

Our employees are our most valuable resource and the driving force behind the future of our companies. We face a challenge with a declining number of skilled professionals possessing the right expertise. To address this, we are establishing the "Uldal School" as a standard onboarding practice for all new hires at Uldal. This complements our existing Byggma School, with both initiatives aimed at enhancing knowledge and understanding of processes, technology, and quality across all levels. Through these efforts, we continue to develop both our people and our products for the future.

At Uldal, we will actively involve all department managers, leveraging their existing Lean expertise to inspire and transfer this knowledge to operators in each department. Our ambition is to be an

industry leader by cultivating a culture where quality and learning are embedded in everything we do—and where everyone contributes to safe, profitable, and sustainable growth.

Outlook

Byggma continuously monitors the housing market, noting lower activity in some areas but increased sales of new product launches. In the past 12 months, 15,286 housing units were sold and 14,146 commissioned, while the need has risen to 30,000 units. This gap may lead to serious supply issues and pent-up demand. Meanwhile, commercial and public building activities remain high, and the renovation and extension market is expected to grow as fewer people change residences.

The significant increase in raw material costs is the main reason for lower sales and new housing unit commissions. Interest rate developments and the conflict in Ukraine may also impact market activity and prices. However, stable timber prices and the upward adjustment of the official housing unit requirement in Norway to 30,000 per year may boost demand for building materials and Byggma ASA's products in the medium and long term. Similar market trends are observed for Byggma's products outside Norway.

Market developments have led to a significant increase in the cost of input factors across several segments. In response, Byggma has implemented price increases over the past years 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 26th of August 2025 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.

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.
