BEWI - Results for the first quarter of 2026

Solid operational improvements and strengthened earnings capacity

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

today reports its results for the first quarter of 2026. Net sales came in at

198.6 million euro, up 6 per cent from the first quarter of 2025, driven by

volume growth in all segments. The adjusted EBITDA was 22.2 million euro, an

increase of 44 per cent year-on-year, supported mainly by the higher volumes and

operational improvements.

· Volume growth in all markets

· Operational improvements supporting strengthened earnings capacity and a 44

per cent increase in adjusted EBITDA year-on-year

· Continued strong development across the Packaging & Components segment

· Positive adjusted EBITDA for Circular

· Strong start to the second quarter of 2026

"We delivered a strong first quarter with volume growth across all segments and

a meaningful uplift in profitability. The operational improvements we've

implemented are strengthening our earnings capacity, and we've started the

second quarter with good momentum," says Christian Bekken, CEO of BEWI ASA.

For Insulation & Construction, volumes picked up in March, ending the quarter

with 4 per cent higher volumes. The segment had a solid momentum in April,

beyond normal seasonality. While adjusted EBITDA was stable at 8.3 million euro

year-on-year, positive impacts from cost optimisations and margin management

initiatives will yield improved profitability going forward.

Packaging & Components delivered solid growth and profitability improvements

across product groups. Sales grew by 14 per cent, while adjusted EBITDA

increased by 49 per cent to 13.9 million euro. This was supported by higher

volumes, particularly within food packaging and automotive components, as well

as a higher contribution from own raw material production. The segment now

benefits from a structurally stronger earnings baseline.

Circular delivered solid operational and financial performance for the quarter.

Increased collection, production and sales of recycled materials, combined with

improved operational efficiency and a lower cost base, resulted in a positive

adjusted EBITDA of 1.2 million euro, compared to a loss in the corresponding

quarter last year. The improvement reflects both structural and operational

progress, supported by favourable market conditions.

"Circular made particularly strong progress in the quarter, turning adjusted

EBITDA positive through higher activity levels, improved efficiency and a lower

cost base. This underlines the value of our circular model and the actions taken

to scale it," Bekken continues.

Cash flow from operating activities was positive at 1.9 million euro, reflecting

normal seasonal working capital increases and higher inventory levels secured at

favourable prices. Inventory levels are expected to be reduced during the second

quarter, supporting improved cash generation.

BEWI remains focused on disciplined execution of operational and strategic

measures to further strengthen profitability and earnings capacity.

"We have a clear path towards our long-term financial targets, including a 15

per cent EBITDA margin and a leverage ratio below 2.5x. With a good start of the

second quarter, we are well positioned to continue to improve our results",

Bekken concludes.
